Chapter 44: Progress
On the day he returned, Lin Qiang came back with Zhou Hui on a bicycle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Zhou family carefully observed Zhou Hui's appearance for the first time, and saw that she had a ruddy complexion, a good complexion, and a kind of shyness of a bride, and it seemed that she was doing well in the Lin family.
Lin Qiang was still carrying a large bag of things in his hand, and the first time he went to the door of his father-in-law's house after marriage, of course he couldn't take it less.
At this homecoming banquet, the wine and food were good, the people were good, and the family was happy.
Before it got dark, Wang Xiulian urged them to go home, mainly worried about their safety on the road.
Counting how Yu Zhenye should be in the army, Jiang Xiaolin began to write his first letter.
Scribbled and changed it several times before it was considered to be the completion of a letter, Jiang Xiaolin smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and sure enough, if she cared, she was confused, when did she become such a hesitant character.
Brother Yu:
Hello, I'm Jiang Xiaolin.
The first time I wrote to you, I was sulking for several days.
After you left, Eiko told me something. You might be on the front line, she said.
If so, why didn't you tell me about it? Do you think I don't need to know? Or do you think I'm going to stop you?
Whatever the reason, I don't think I'm going to be too happy. So I put it down to the fact that I was in the car that day, I expressed my thoughts too suddenly, and you left in too hastily to mention it, right?
If one day, you are going to the front line, I hope you can take the initiative to tell me.
The third day after you left was the day my cousin Zhou Hui got married. That day was as lively as the day when Second Brother Yu had a happy event, and Aunt Yu and Yingzi also came to the house to help, and they were really grateful to them. My cousin-in-law is a good person, he seems honest and diligent, my relatives are very satisfied with him, only my uncle and aunt feel a little uncomfortable, after all, my daughter is married to someone else, and it is inevitable that she will be reluctant.
Another good thing, my family's business has made some progress. The food factory in the county took a fancy to my family's jujube cake and was willing to invest in the recipe for the jujube cake. After discussing with my aunt and uncle, I agreed, and after measuring with the food manufacturer, I purchased the goods from the factory for retail. You haven't eaten my jujube cake yet, I sent you some with the letter, this is not from the food factory, but I made it myself.
Send a lot of jujube cakes, share them with your comrades-in-arms and try them together.
Your troops are in the south, isn't it as cold as our hometown? You have been in the army for many years, have you become accustomed to the climate there, and are there any differences between that side and our hometown?
Sincerely
salute
Jiang Xiaolin
After the letter was written, Jiang Xiaolin went to the kitchen to make jujube cakes.
There are still a lot of jujubes at home, which were saved from making jujube cakes, and they won't make their own in the future anyway, Jiang Xiaolin simply used them, and also made two flavors of pine nuts and walnuts, a total of more than 20 catties, wrapped a big bag, and prepared to send it to the county with her aunt tomorrow.
Jiang Xiaolin's big bag of jujube cakes really attracted Wang Xiulian's attention.
"Xiaolin, this big bag ......"
"It's jujube cake, I made it yesterday, and I sent it to a friend to try it. ā
"It's for your classmates, wouldn't it be good to bring it with you at the beginning of school, and you still need to send it?" Wang Xiulian didn't quite understand, "But it's okay, you don't have to take too many things." ā
Jiang Xiaolin smiled and said nothing, and Wang Xiulian didn't ask.
It was still Jiang Xiaolin who rode a bicycle to take Wang Xiulian to the county seat and sent Wang Xiulian to the food factory first. Today, Wang Xiulian is going to teach the people in the product department to make jujube cakes in the factory.
Then Jiang Xiaolin went to the post office by herself, sent the package and envelope, and now that the weather is cold, she is not afraid of spoiling her food.
After completing the mailing procedures, she ran to the photo studio again and took a photo of her whole body, one and a half body. The photo will not be available until ten days later, and Jiang Xiaolin wants to simply take it again when school starts
After her own affairs were done, she went to the food factory to pick up Wang Xiulian. By the time I arrived at the food factory, the first hot jujube cake had already been baked.
Director Wu and Liu Rong were both present, Liu Rong saw Jiang Xiaolin coming, and greeted her warmly: "Come on, Xiaolin, you can also come and taste it." ā
Jiang Xiaolin tasted a small piece, which was soft and delicious, similar to what she made at home, and she nodded with satisfaction.
"Very nice. ā
"Miss Xiaolin, what do you say is the name of this jujube cake?" Director Wu was also very satisfied, he actually thought about the name for several days, and he couldn't make a decision, so he wanted this smart girl to give a good name.
"We sell food for the public, and the name should be easy to understand and catchy. Jiang Xiaolin pondered for a moment, "Call it a good taste of pine nut jujube cake, okay?"
Director Wu's eyes lit up.
"Good taste pine nut jujube cake? Yes, yes, people will understand what raw materials are made of when they hear it, and it is indeed easy to understand. ā
"Well, this pine nut can also be replaced with nuts such as walnuts, and when the time comes, it will be called a delicious walnut date cake, which is also good. Although Wang Xiulian can't come up with a good name herself, she can still draw inferences from others.
"Good, good. Director Wu was very satisfied, paid the remaining amount happily, and told the people in the sales department in person that as long as Wang Xiulian came to load the goods in the future, he would sell them at the cost price.
"Liu Rong, your purchasing department can start purchasing red dates, pine nuts and walnuts in large quantities. Director Wu instructed Liu Rong again, because Liu Rong made meritorious contributions, and has now been promoted by him to the deputy director of the procurement department.
Jiang Xiaolin's heart moved, "Director Wu, I don't know what kind of conditions are required for the purchase of jujubes in the factory?"
"What are the conditions? Red dates, big meat, good quality. Director Wu suddenly understood what she meant, "Are you going to provide raw materials to the factory?"
"No, not yet, I'll just ask. Jiang Xiaolin shook her head, "I hope the factory can adhere to the quality of this jujube cake." ā
"Oh, don't worry, I won't smash my sign. ā
Director Wu personally sent Wang Xiulian and Jiang Xiaolin out.
On the way home, Wang Xiulian asked Jiang Xiaolin:
"Xiaolin, do you have any thoughts when you ask Director Wu about the purchase of red dates?"
Wang Xiulian knows that her niece is not a person who has nothing to do, and since she asks, she must have a purpose.
"Well, aunt, the last time I went up the mountain with my uncle, I saw that there were no people on the mountain who had no one to contract the large open space on the mountain. The land there is uneven, so there is no way to grow food, but if you plant fruit trees, it is a good place. My uncle contracted land to grow grain, although last year's harvest was good, but every household grows grain, and it can't be sold at a price, so it is better to plant something that is rare and expensive, such as jujube trees, which can adapt to the mountains, and the land contract price can be much lower. ā
"Oops, you're so right. ā
Wang Xiulian understood after a little pondering, and at the same time was excited.
Isn't it too suitable to plant jujube trees? As the saying goes, "peaches, three apricots, four pears for five years, jujube trees will change money that year, and you want to eat walnuts for eight years" jujube trees grow fast, hardy and drought-resistant, if they can be supplied to food factories, even there are sales, but it is not a way to make sure you don't lose money.
"I'm just thinking about it for now, after all, I don't know much about farming, so I have to go home and discuss it with my uncle. ā
"I don't think it's a problem, you said that you kid, how long is this brain, and it's too good. "Wang Xiulian is really convinced," I told him when I went home, and I could agree with it. ā
