Meng Sanqiu stepped forward excitedly, "Niannian?

Zhou Niannian nodded with a smile, put the things in his hand on the table in the courtyard, and then put the bird cage with Ah Liang next to him.

"Yes, I'm here in Zezhou on a business trip, and I'm coming back to see you and my aunt. ”

Meng Sanqiu's wife came out of the house when she heard the movement, and she was also very happy when she saw that it was Zhou Niannian, "Oh, I didn't expect you to come back, after you left, the old man didn't talk about you less." ”

"Quick, come inside and talk. Meng Sanqiu beckoned Zhou Niannian into the house, turned back to Dongmei's sister-in-law and said, "You go and call Yuanjia and his family too, and they will both have dinner at my house tonight." ”

"Okay. Dongmei's sister-in-law responded happily, turned around and trotted out.

"I haven't seen her for a few years, but Dongmei's sister-in-law is still so cool. Zhou Niannian looked at her back and said with a smile.

Meng Sanqiu led her into the house, and said with a smile: "She, she has a spicy temperament, and now she is the director of the cured meat production department of the Rainbow Factory, and she is resolute every day." ”

When Zhou Niannian left, Dongmei's sister-in-law was only in charge of the bacon production line, but she didn't expect that in three years, she had been promoted to director, which shows that she is really serious about her work.

The Meng family's house is a newly built tiled house, the windows are transparent, and a big kang is built in the house, and the weather in March is still a little cold, but I immediately feel hot when I do the kang.

"Uncle Meng, your house is well built. Zhou Niannian took a sip of hot water with a bowl, looked at the furnishings in the room, and said sincerely.

Meng Sanqiu sat opposite him and put the dry tobacco in his hand on the kang table, "Many families in the village have built new houses, and everyone still has to thank you." ”

"If you hadn't insisted on running the Rainbow Factory back then, where would the people in our village have a good life now. ”

Zhou Niannian held the tea bowl, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling in the heat, "That's Uncle Meng, you trust me, if you don't believe me, I can't afford to run a factory." ”

Speaking of the factory, she couldn't help but ask with concern: "Is the Rainbow Factory running now?"

The smile on Meng Sanqiu's face was slightly reduced, and he sighed, "This year is not as good as the business in previous years, and now there are too many people running meat product factories, and the competition is also big. ”

Zhou Niannian was not too surprised, making ham sausages and bacon are not particularly technical products, and sooner or later they will be imitated.

"I heard that Comrade Xiao Zhou is back, where is it?" Li Yuanjiaxing's hurried voice came from outside.

Zhou Niannian got down from the kang, and he had already rushed in, followed by his wife Pan Na and daughter, and at the end was Dongmei's sister-in-law.

"It's really Comrade Xiao Zhou, my God, it's like a dream. Li Yuanjia excitedly stepped forward and held Zhou Niannian's hand, very excited.

Zhou Niannian greeted the family with a smile, and Pan Na and Dongmei's sister-in-law went to the kitchen to help.

"You came just in time, Nian Nian just asked about the situation of our factory, you know best now, talk to her. Meng Sanqiu pointed to the chair next to him for Li Yuanjia to sit on.

When the college entrance examination was resumed, Li Yuanjia chose to go to secondary school, and he was in the factory when he didn't have classes on weekdays, and he returned to the Rainbow Factory directly after graduation, and now he is the deputy director of the Rainbow Factory.

said that he was the deputy factory director, but in fact, Meng Sanqiu didn't care much about the affairs of the factory in the past two years, and Li Yuanjia was in charge of big and small things.

Li Yuanjia introduced the current situation faced by the rainbow factory.

In the whole of Zezhou County, there are now no less than 10 meat product factories alone, and the business competition between department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives in the county is very fierce, and profits are getting thinner and thinner.

"The foreign orders you talked about back then have also shrunk since the second half of last year. ”

Zhou Niannian listened to the silence for a long time, and asked Li Yuanjia, "Do you have the idea of coping?"

Li Yuanjia subconsciously sat up straight and said seriously: "I have been thinking about this situation for a long time, and my current idea is to innovate products under the condition of ensuring word of mouth, adding some new product types and more tricks to attract customers." ”

Zhou Niannian nodded, "That's a good idea." ”

After receiving the affirmation, Li Yuanjia's eyes lit up, and then said: "I thought that we could make chicken sausages, mixed meat sausages or fruit sausages, and now the workers are trying, but they haven't succeeded yet." ”

Speaking of which, he was a little embarrassed.

Meng Sanqiu took a puff of dry cigarette, "Girl, you have a lot of ideas, help us think of ideas." ”

It was Zhou Niannian's idea to set up a rainbow factory at the beginning, and it can be said that there would be no rainbow factory without her, so Meng Sanqiu and Li Yuanjia both looked at her with hope.

Zhou Niannian thought about it, it has been eighty-one years now, and some machines for making ham sausages in my impression should have appeared, but they are all in foreign countries or coastal cities.

"Your idea is not wrong, first, increase the type of product, make chicken, fruit sausage or corn sausage, fish sausage, etc., you think it is not successful, it is nothing more than the taste has not been adjusted well, you can add some pork when making other sausages....."

Zhou Niannian said the recipe he could think of, and Li Yuanjia excitedly took out paper and pen from his pocket and recorded them.

Seeing that he remembered seriously, Zhou Niannian subconsciously thought about it seriously.

"In addition to increasing the variety of products, we can also try to cut the production lines that are currently not competitive, such as bacon or jerky, and replace them with new products. ”

"In addition, I have heard that such machines have begun to appear in coastal cities, and the meat quality of the products made with the machines is more delicate, and you can go there to inspect them when you have time. ”

Li Yuanjia nodded and recorded it.

The three of them chatted, and before they knew it, night was gradually falling.

Meng Sanqiu's mother-in-law brought the meal, everyone went to the table, and chatted about Zhou Niannian when he was a young man while eating, and the atmosphere was lively and warm.

Zhou Niannian did not leave in the evening and stayed at Meng Sanqiu's house.

When she was lying in bed, she was still a little excited, and the people she met tonight talked about the topics that made her feel very happy.

Holding the pillow and turning over, seeing that Ah Liang was still on the table next to her, she asked curiously, "Why don't you go to the mountain?"

Ah Liang said lazily: "Take a rest, it's very warm in this house, I'll go back tomorrow when it's almost dawn, the aura is the strongest in the morning." ”

The kang was burned in the house, of course it was warm, Zhou Niannian didn't bother to care about it, and gradually fell asleep in the warmth.

There was no dream all night, and when she opened her eyes again, the sky was already bright, and Ah Liang didn't know when she had left, probably flying into the woods on the mountain.

Zhou Niannian got up and opened the door and went out, the mist was dark, but the courtyard was quiet.

Could it be that Meng Sanqiu and his wife haven't gotten up yet?

Zhou Niannian turned his head and saw that the door of the hall was ajar, obviously getting up.

"Uncle Meng, auntie?" she called twice, but no one answered, but she heard the noise outside getting louder and louder.

Zhou Niannian walked out of the courtyard and saw many people running in the southwest direction.

"Dead, dead. She heard someone say.
