Behind the 23rd branch was an ordinary street, but since the completion of the first state-owned department store in Huancheng City across the street, and then two state-run restaurants were opened one after another, this street has become the only commercial street in Huancheng.

With the reform and opening up and the implementation of the household responsibility system, the peasants in the suburbs began to peddle some surplus agricultural and sideline products into the city one after another, and the commercial street behind the factory became the first choice for the suburban peasants to sell because of the strong flow of people, and because of this, although the street behind the factory was not prosperous, it was very lively.

Today, the street is as prosperous as ever, with state-run hotels fanfare, small private shops in the corners of the street bustling with great activity, and plainly dressed peasants on both sides of the street setting up their stalls densely packed to the point that the not very wide street is squeezed to the ground.

But the people on the street did not complain, or pushing bicycles, or carrying vegetable baskets, and when they saw the right one, they would stop and ask about the price, and they would bargain in the photo, and occasionally a few bear children galloped among them, causing a burst of laughter and scolding from the adults.

Chen Defa of the 23rd Branch Factory is an old neighbor of this street, and when it was not expanded, it was an employee of the old collective factory, and after it was upgraded to a branch of the Yonghong Factory, the 45-year-old Chen Defa joined the 23rd Factory, and for more than 20 years, Chen Defa has done almost all kinds of work.

So Chen Defa is often asked by neighbors to help connect an electricity meter, change a faucet or something, Chen Defa never refuses, so that he has a good reputation on this street.

Therefore, whenever Tran Tak Fat passes by this street, someone will come up to greet him.

Today is no exception, just said hello to the two old neighbors, then walked to the newly opened store in the factory, looked left and right, and said to the two old men who were blocking the door: "Two of you, TM City is open today, can you two let me?"

The two old men were very interested, and when they saw that they were really blocking the sale, they quickly nodded and apologized, and then moved the burden to the side, and Chen Defa took out the key and prepared to open the door.

"Yo~~ I said Lao Chen, when did you become an individual? What, is there a problem in the factory?"

An aunt carried a vegetable basket, watched Chen Defa go over and open the door, and opened her mouth in surprise, speaking straight and fast, mixed with a little regret in the middle, there is no way that state-owned factories have much more status than self-employed people in these years.

Chen Defa smiled when he heard this, and just wanted to explain, he saw an old man with gray hair walking over hurriedly, pointing to the store tremblingly: "Xiao Chen, these days I have heard the kid at home say, what new projects are going to be carried out in the factory, you talk to Uncle Zhang, are you tossing and turning again?"

As soon as Uncle Zhang opened his mouth, other people around him also came around, chattering and asking questions, there is no way, many people on this street have more or less one or two families working in the 23rd Factory, if there is any movement in the factory, they will naturally have to care.

"Everyone, everyone~~ It's not as you think, the factory does have new products. As he spoke, he pointed to the store in front of him: "No, in order to display the new products in the factory, the new director Zhuang specially changed a section of the empty factory to a store, just to facilitate everyone to taste it for free." ”

As soon as they heard that they were free to taste, the eyes of the people around them instantly lit up, and the outermost few young men with cigarettes in their mouths shouted impatiently: "Is it free for everyone?"

"Of course, but there are only a limited number of them, so please line up and limit yourself to one per person. Chen Defa responded with a smile.

"Then hurry up~~Alas~~ Don't squeeze, I'm standing in front of you~~"

As soon as Andy Chen's words fell, the crowd suddenly began to stir, in the era when most of the materials still needed to be purchased with tickets, there was actually such a good thing, so the people on the street did not care about men, women, and children, and rushed to the front of the store of the 23rd Factory, and soon a long queue formed.

Seeing this, Chen Defa's eyes were about to narrow into a slit with a smile, and he took out the key to open the door amid the impatient urging of everyone, and immediately heard bursts of irrepressible exclamations.

I saw two huge hand-painted posters standing in the store, one of which was an ice cream in the shape of a human face with a top hat, the composition was simple, but it was extremely cute, and it looked delicious.

Another poster reads in warm letters, "Congratulations to the 23rd Branch Villain Ice Cream for winning the Gold Medal at the 6th Pacific Cold Drink Conference." ”

In the middle is a banner that reads: "Gold Medal Villain Ice Cream, Give Back to the People of Huancheng!"

Seeing this scene, the people who had already lined up were a little confused, the villain ice cream? It also won an award? It looks like it is still an international award? Why don't I know?

Just when everyone was stunned, Chen Defa took a tin bucket from the employees inside, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Gold Award ice cream, one for each person, everyone must consciously maintain it and pay attention to safety." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead in taking a villain ice cream and handed it to the young man in front, the young man took it in his hand and took a bite happily, a rich chocolate taste that he had never tasted, which made his whole person feel excited, plus the day at the end of May has begun to be hot, and the cold taste is even more comfortable beyond words.

In the end, a thousand words turned into an angry praise: "Ba Shi Deban!" (Sichuan dialect, very good meaning)"

With the first, there is the second, the third......

In this era of scarcity of materials, there is ice cream, but there is no chocolate and cream combination of ice cream, so the sensational effect of the villain ice cream can be imagined, the people who received it while eating, while praising it, some old men who love current affairs are even more emotional, worthy of the ice cream that has won international awards, the taste is too good to say.

But more are smart people who eat wildly, swallow a little person's ice cream, touch a mouthful, and continue to line up, such a delicious thing, how can you eat only one?

Chen Defa had expected this hand, and personally pulled out several people who repeatedly received ice cream, but no matter how powerful his eyes were, he couldn't stand the crowd, and there were always some fish that slipped through the net, which made Chen Defa sweat profusely after a while.

"Send another hundred and fifty, and stop!"

Zhuang Jianye, who came to the factory early in the morning, came to the newly opened store to take a look after checking the production status of villain ice cream in the workshop, and found that the effect was better than expected, so he decisively adjusted the scale of "feedback".

Then they were ready to leave, because Wang Heping and they were still waiting for him to arrange the next publicity activities, but before he could go out, Chen Defa ran over panting: "Factory director, factory director~~ There is a reporter from a daily newspaper outside......"

"Journalists?"

"Yes. Chen Defa was like doing a big rebellious thing, and his old face was like a chrysanthemum: "After eating the ice cream, he took out a small notebook and asked me when we won the award, I couldn't answer at all, are we ruined, factory director?"
