She discovers that she not only tim...

Chapter 234 Integration

Tao Siqi wanted to speak, but didn't know how to address Xie Yun. Calling her Deputy County Chief Xie seemed a bit too rigid, and calling her Xie Yun seemed too cold. Calling someone by a nickname didn't seem that intimate.

Seeing her hesitant to speak, Yue Zheng said, "Binbin is older than both of you. You can just call her Sister Binbin. Those of us who are younger than her here all call her that. The elders also call her Xiao Xie. Any name is fine. Binbin is very easy to talk to."

Tao Siqi immediately followed up, "Sister Binbin, can I go with you to the commune's research institute?"

"Sure. You just arrived, so you'll have another day to adjust tomorrow. If you want to go, come with me tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

Xie Yun said to Yue Zheng, "I'll leave the photo with you first. I'll ask Liu Mei to make a frame for it and hang it in the study."

"OK."

Xie Yun laughed again and said, "When the movie is released, I will call Comrade Qian Daguang to ask for some money. I want him to pay for the cost of making the photo frame."

Yue Zheng and the others were almost laughing like crazy. They could tell with their toes that Qian Gaoyun definitely didn't tell her father about this. When the movie was released, Comrade Qian Daguang saw it and was devastated. Then, the bad boy Xie Binbin was going to make things worse for him.

Yan Guixiang said: "Old Qian must be sneezing at home right now."

Yue Zheng said: "When the time comes, he will definitely grit his teeth and say, 'Xie Yun, thank you!'"

Everyone started laughing as they talked.

Ren Xiuzhen and Tao Siqi were confused, so Liu Fang told them about Qian Gaoyun's personality traits. After listening to Qian Gaoyun's "heroic deeds", the two felt full of sympathy for her parents.

Ren Xiuzhen was particularly envious of Qian Gaoyun, who grew up in a wealthy family and who perfectly interpreted the saying "those who are favored are fearless."

They immediately started laughing with everyone else. It was obvious that Mr. and Mrs. Qian were big-hearted people who could take jokes and withstand teasing without any problems. They were the kind of parents most popular among young people.

There are no young people who don't like to tease their parents. This is a natural fantasy of everyone to break the authority of their parents.

Ren Xiuzhen was having a great time chatting with everyone, and she felt much more relaxed. Her modern thinking immediately kicked in, and she said, "If Qushui County needs us in the future, we can let Qian Gaoyun be our image spokesperson."

After saying that, Ren Xiuzhen stopped. She wanted to say "image ambassador", but she didn't know if there was any special understanding of the title of ambassador in this era, so she changed it to "spokesperson" halfway through, but she didn't know if there was such a term as spokesperson now.

Xie Yun smiled and said, "This is a good idea. In the future, if our Qushui County, especially our Taoyuan Commune and Liushutun Brigade, produces any products and wants to promote them outside, we can let Qian Gaoyun be our spokesperson.

When society develops and everyone has extra money and can travel around, then our Qushui County will also develop tourism, just like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in Beijing, which attract so many people to visit every year. When the time comes, we will do the same and let Qian Gaoyun promote it for us.

It’s just like the characters on those promotional posters, except those characters are fictional, and ours are real.”

[Celebrity endorsements actually existed in the Republic of China (perhaps even earlier?). Ruan Lingyu and Hu Die were both goddesses who promoted products.]

Ren Xiuzhen felt relieved. As long as the people here could understand, it would be fine. "That's what I meant."

Xie Yun added, "In order to allow Qian Gaoyun to play a greater role, we must also think of ways to produce more products. We must not let her go."

Yue Zheng said to her: "Your reputation as Xie Ba Pi is well-deserved."

Yan Guixiang said, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to engage in deep processing of agricultural products? You've always said that we only have a flour mill here, which is too monotonous. And before that, you also said you wanted to produce noodles."

Xie Yun slapped his forehead and said, "I did say that, but I was so busy that I forgot. We'll make a noodle machine later. We can definitely make a hand-cranked one, so let's see if we can make an electric one. The power transmission project here has developed rapidly in recent years. If we can make an electric one, it will save us a lot of trouble."

She asked Ren Xiuzhen and Tao Siqi, "Do you have any ideas? For deep processing of agricultural products, dried noodles are just the beginning. If we could make some cakes, biscuits, or even meat products, and then add supporting packaging, maybe we could sell them in big cities. We still need to develop some flagship products."

This question was mainly directed at Ren Xiuzhen. As a time-traveling female protagonist, Xie Yun believed that she must have some outstanding qualities. The book wrote that she had a convenience store with a golden finger, and it seemed that her cooking skills were also very good.

After all, conquering men and boys requires conquering their stomachs.

As she thought about it, things like egg cakes, honey cakes, crackers, sausages, and instant noodles popped up in her mind. If the heroine could make them, especially sausages and instant noodles, she would definitely be the best in the country.

You should know that China's first sausage was not produced until 1987. Although there were attempts at instant noodles in the early days, it was not until the Japanese production line was introduced in the 1980s that it became a truly popular product in the market.

Xie Yun has a lot of research materials in her space, but she doesn't want to do this herself. It's too much for her to handle alone. This part will be handed over to the heroine.

When Ren Xiuzhen heard her say this, her eyes lit up again.

"I want to try. To be honest, I'm a good cook and I love to explore food. I've tried all the snacks sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives and time-honored shops. I think I can try to replicate them."

In her previous life, the Internet was well developed and self-media was popular. People posted all kinds of things online. There were food bloggers who taught you how to cook delicious food, and there were adventure bloggers who took you to see various factories. She had nothing to do in her spare time, so she watched a lot of these videos.

Xie Yun said, "Okay! Go ahead and try. If you need any raw materials, tell us and we'll help prepare them. This is all for the collective. You're researching new food products, just like Sister Yue Zheng and the others are doing breeding research. They're doing it to feed the people, and your research is about feeding the people well, which is also great."

If you need any tools, just tell me. Feel free to ask. We at the Institute of Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering love to take on new challenges. We research whatever the country and the people need. Tomorrow I'll take you to see it, and you'll see for yourself."

"good!"

Ren Xiuzhen answered promptly and decisively, and even touched her collar, feeling that the non-existent red scarf on her chest had become even brighter!

Oh my, their descendants advocate sophisticated selfishness, but that is because the social environment is like that, everyone is like that, if you are not selfish, you will be taken advantage of.

Now, everyone puts national and collective interests first. Everyone is dedicated to the public and the country, so she can do the same.

Who doesn’t want to be a person of noble character!

We’ll talk about the future later.

If she could contribute to the country and society, she would do it! She would be proud and proud to talk about it in the future, and she would have no regrets, and her life in this world was not in vain!

Besides, cooking delicious food is also for improving one's life.
