Chapter 11 Happy Dining

The two of them chose a quieter two-person table with floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the rainforest. The waiter Ma brought tea. Huang Xin scanned the restaurant's ordering QR code and opened the link, she handed her mobile phone to Fang Junwen with both hands and said with a smile: "Brother Wen, what do you want to eat?" If you want to eat, just order it on top. Fang Junwen didn't reach out to pick it up, and said, "You order, I'm not too demanding in terms of eating." Huang Xin didn't insist anymore, changed his way, and said, "Oh, is that so?" Okay, then I'll pick a few and then you can take a look at it and see if you want to add or modify it, okay? "Don't bother, just take your idea, you have to have confidence in yourself." Fang Junwen's reply was full of encouragement. Huang Xin was excited in his heart, and thought: "Since I was a child, there has never been a boy who encouraged me." ”

Huang Xin ordered the meal with his mobile phone. Before the food came up, the two of them drank tea while quietly admiring the strange flowers and stones outside the floor-to-ceiling window. It is not a way to meditate like this all the time, Huang Xin took the initiative to talk: "Brother Wen, how many years have you been doing design?" Did you pursue a career in design after graduation? Your design level is higher than everyone else in our design department, you are amazing. Fang Junwen, who was a little inexplicably nervous, heard Huang Xin's question, put down the cup in his hand and replied, "It's been four years." I have been working for my current company since I graduated. What about you? Looks like you shouldn't have been graduating for long, right? "Brother Wen, you guessed it right, I graduated for about half a year. To tell you the truth, I'm actually majoring in administrative management, but because I love to draw, an old classmate helped introduce my current job. Huang Xin paused and continued: "Because I haven't really studied design, my design level has not been able to improve, and if I continue like this, I have to go back to do administrative work." After Huang Xin finished speaking, he smiled at Fang Junwen.

Fang Junwen comforted Huang Xin: "You don't have to study design to design good works, you should also know that some well-known foreign designers are also developed into fame, they have not really studied design, whether the design is good or not, in addition to a certain design knowledge, it is more about the sense of touch, that is, talent." The poster you showed me that day is actually designed as a newcomer, as long as you have time, I will learn more and practice, fill the lack of knowledge, the design level will definitely go up, you have to have confidence in yourself. "Mmmm, Brother Wen, my confidence has come back when I hear you say this, thank you, I will work hard." Hearing Fang Junwen's encouragement, Huang Xin seemed to see a glimmer of light for the future of his work. Fang Junwen took a sip of tea and asked, "Hey, by the way, Huang Xin, have you seen the number you gave you last time?" Did you get anything out of it? Huang Xin replied a little embarrassed: "I read the first few articles, but there are some places where I don't understand too well, and those videos are all in English, and some professional terms can't understand ......." ”。

At this time, the waiter brought the curry crab to the table. "Brother Wen, let's talk while eating. How about a taste? Huang Xin said as he clamped a big piece into Fang Junwen's bowl. Fang Junwen. "Thank you, you eat too." Fang Junwen thanked him and at the same time sandwiched a piece of Huang Xin's bowl. "Thank you, Brother Wen." The two of them began to eat. Fang Junwen said while dismantling the crab meat: "Do you remember those things that you don't understand?" Some of those English videos are a little harder, so don't hesitate to ask me if you can't see them. Huang Xin was full of gratitude in his heart, and replied: "Thank you, Brother Wen, but how embarrassing is it to always trouble you, and this is not a problem that can be solved in a day or two, it may be that my foundation is too poor, I still buy some basic books and then look at them Maybe I can understand." "What's the trouble? It's just like everyone learning and communicating together, and I also reviewed it myself when I taught you, how good it is, it's easy to forget things that you don't watch often. "Well, thank you, Brother Wen, thank you so much, then another day, I will ask you to teach me what I can't understand in the past few days."

The waiter brought two small plates of spaghetti bolognese and two bowls of mushroom soup. "Brother Wen, you have an appetite for these dishes, right? Is there anything you don't like to eat? "I like vegetarian dishes, but I don't refuse a little bit of meat in them." Huang Xin listened to Fang Junwen's answer and thought: It turns out that he doesn't like to eat meat, no wonder his body is so slender and sturdy. Luckily, I didn't order all meat tonight. They just ate slowly and chatted. The waiter brought two more small portions of chocolate cake, and said to Huang Xin and Fang Junwen with a smile while putting them down: "All the dishes are ready, please enjoy them slowly, if you need to add anything, please call us." The waiter cleaned up the dishes and took them away.

Huang Xin suddenly remembered something, and pulled out something from a plastic bag beside herβ€”a yellow orange. Huang Xin saw that Fang Junwen's face was a little surprised, and immediately explained: "Brother Wen, I brought some home-grown oranges from home today, and this bag is for you to take back to your family to eat." Now you can try this first. Huang Xin said as he peeled off the orange peel. Your family's oranges? Contracted to have an orchard? Didn't you say you live nearby? Fang Junwen asked puzzled. Brother Wen, that's right, I live nearby, but it's a shared house with a colleague. My real home is on the outskirts of the city, and my parents are fruit growers. Fang Junwen nodded and responded, "Oh, I see." The outskirts of the city are not far away, and the air is much better than in the city, which is also good for your parents' health. "Yes, the air outside the city is very good, and it is really comfortable to stand in front of the house and look at the green." Huang Xin said as he handed the peeled orange to Fang Junwen. Fang Junwen didn't answer it right away, and said, "Don't you eat some yourself?" Huang Xin smiled and replied, "I've eaten a lot at home, so you don't have to be polite to me, Brother Wen." "Well, that's good, I'll try it, thank you." Fang Junwen took the orange flesh as he spoke, and took a small taste, "Well, it's so sweet, Huang Xin, this orange in your house was planted so well yesterday?" It's twice as sweet as the oranges my mom usually buys, and they're juicy, and they're full of orange flavor in one bite. ”

Fang Junwen gave Huang Xin's oranges a high score. Huang Xin was in a very good mood when he heard Fang Junwen's praise of his oranges, and suddenly a thought flashed through his heart: Brother Wen is so enthusiastic, he may have a way to help sell oranges. Well, but it's a bit cheeky to trouble people again, but I don't know a few people in the city except for those colleagues in the company, who else can I find if I don't ask Brother Wen who lives in the city for help? As long as I can help my family, I should try it. Huang Xin, who had made up his mind, said while Wen Junwen handed over a tissue to wipe his hands: "Brother Wen, there is something I want to ask you." That's right, because now a large number of imported fruits are pouring into the domestic market, they sell well and the profits are high, resulting in fruit merchants choosing to sell imported fruits instead of selling local fruits, and my oranges are not immune to being affected by this trend, this year's oranges can't be sold, and my parents are worried about this. Brother Wen, you have tasted my oranges just now, both the taste and the price are stronger than imported oranges, but they just can't be sold, do you see if there is any way or channel to sell the oranges, at least you can sell some of them, if all rot in the orchard, it would be a pity, and my parents have worked hard this year in vain. Huang Xin felt a little like crying as he spoke, and his eyes were red.

Fang Junwen saw that Huang Xin's eyes were red, his face was so sad and sad, Fang Junwen's heart suddenly seemed to be someone pinching his heart hard, it was a heart-wrenching pain. Fang Junwen thought to himself: Why do you feel heartache when you see the girl in front of you sad? It's not like I've never seen girls sad and sad before, why don't I feel this way? Is it because my heart hurts abnormally or what? Why did she become so strange when she saw this girl herself? Is it because I haven't slept well lately? Fang Junwen didn't think about it anymore and comforted Huang Xin: "Don't worry about it first, you will always find a way to solve the problem." "Hmm." Huang Xin responded weakly, because she really couldn't find any way to support this answer.

Fang Junwen picked up the cup and took a sip, pondered for a while, and suddenly asked Huang Xin: "How many catties of oranges can you sell now?" "Well, my oranges are picked only when they are ripe on the tree, because there was more cloudy days and no sun a while ago, so the oranges began to ripen in the past two days, my dad said that under normal circumstances, you can pick about 500 to 800 catties a day, that is, now there may be more than 1,000 catties of oranges stored at home, and if all of them are successfully picked, the total amount is about 3 to 40,000 catties." Huang Xin replied. Fang Junwen continued to ask: "Then what are the specifications of your orange packaging, and how many catties are in a box?" "As far as I know, my dad generally packs them in three situations: first, my dad uses large styrofoam fresh-keeping boxes for the goods that fruit merchants come to*, and one box is about forty catties; The second is some customer groups with special requirements, who provide their own printed boxes or label paper for my father; Finally, for some mass group purchases that are neither fruit merchants nor businesses, my dad used neutral cardboard boxes with only orange patterns printed on them to pack them, 10 catties a box or 20 catties a box. Although Huang Xin didn't know why Fang Junwen asked this, he told Fang Junwen in detail.

Fang Junwen nodded and said: "Huang Xin, that's the case, the Animal Association will hold an adoption event in Yongfu Plaza this Sunday, and our president plans to carry out some charity sales activities at the same time to raise some funds for the association in addition to adopting animals on that day, or you see if this will work, you pull 100 boxes of oranges to participate in our charity sale, and we will give you the payment for how many boxes of goods we sell after the event, can you?" How much does a ten-pound neutral box cost? Tomorrow I will report to the president for instructions, and if he agrees, I will inform you to prepare. Then I'll ask my friends if there's any other way to help sell them. Huang Xin, who had been listening carefully, finally understood why Fang Junwen asked those things just now, although this matter had not really been implemented, it did not reduce Huang Xin's gratitude to Fang Junwen at all, and said, "Brother Wen, thank you so much." Then I'll call my dad now to find out the price. "It's also a very meaningful thing to help local fruit farmers, and you don't have to thank me." Fang Junwen smiled at Huang Xin, and slowly ate the chocolate cake while Huang Xin was on the phone.

"Hey, Dad, I'm Xin, are you busy now? Is it convenient to say a few words? "I'm not busy, I'm having dinner with your mother, have you eaten?" Is there anything about calling me at this time? "The voice of the core father on the other end of the phone is full of concern." No, it's just a friend who wants to order oranges, and I forgot to ask you the price of oranges just now, Dad, how much is a box of oranges in a neutral box of ten catties? "Do you want hardcover big orange or general mixed packing, what is it for?" Dad Xin asked. "Ah, there are two kinds of them, what are the prices? You tell me. Xin Dad replied: "33 yuan for hardcover, 25 yuan for ordinary mixed bags, if he wants a large amount, he will reduce it by two yuan per box." "Well, I see, thank you Dad, that won't disturb your dinner, I'll call back if I have further news." ByeBye!β€β€œ Well, well, ByeBye!" Huang Xin hung up the phone, didn't speak immediately, and thought in his heart: "What price should I quote?" Although 100 boxes is not a lot, this charity sale is a good deed, well, I will quote the lowest price to let the association pay more funds. ”

Huang Xin, who had thought about it, put down his mobile phone and said to Fang Junwen, who was eating cake: "Brother Wen, my dad said that there are two kinds, 31 yuan/box for hardcover and 23 yuan/box for ordinary mixed bags, do you think the price is appropriate?" "I can't answer you now, I will consult the president tomorrow to implement it, with the price you are quoting now is so affordable, plus the oranges are so delicious, I think our president should agree, you just wait for my good news." Fang Junwen comforted Huang Xin with confidence. After eating the cake, the two drank tea and chatted for a while, and finally everyone felt that it was not too early to say goodbye to each other and go home.
