I Lived Peacefully and Happily in the 60s

An older "saintly" woman mysteriously reincarnates into the body of a prematurely deceased girl with the same name but different surname. After a brief period of confusion, her fighting spi...

Chapter 323 Packaging

The two of them thought of so many emergency plans, but they didn't expect that the first thing that stumped them was that they couldn't understand other people's dialects.

The two of them were pulling a lot of luggage and wanted to call a tricycle, but people asked them, "Are you from Ali?"

The two people gestured for a long time before they asked a tricycle to take them. The key point was to transport the goods to the largest food packaging factory.

In fact, any larger factory has its own packaging production line. It's their own fault for being so impulsive. Now they can only use other people's beef jerky packaging lines.

Today’s beef jerky comes in brown paper bags, which don’t leak oil, and are very suitable for their products.

Cao Qing had connections in the Foreign Trade Department. When she arrived at the place, she borrowed someone's phone and said a few words to the section chief who received them. The section chief, whose surname was Niu, changed his previous attitude and became amiable.

Fortunately, Section Chief Niu is from Northeast China and speaks Mandarin, so there is no communication barrier. After looking at the design drawings of Qiu Yuling and others, he said that there was no problem with the outer packaging of the goat milk soap and the small bag of shampoo powder.

They were all contributing to China's export and foreign exchange earnings. He also pointed out the furniture factory and said, "There are high mountain bamboos over there. We can make what you want. There's also an experienced craftsman in the furniture factory who is an amazing carver..."

This was fantastic. In return, Qiu Yuling pointed out to Chief Niu, "Your factory's beef jerky bags could actually have a relatively transparent center, allowing for a glimpse of the ingredients inside, which would pique buyers' interest."

Section Chief Niu's eyes lit up, and he picked up Qiu Yuling's impromptu sketch and immediately ordered adjustments, "Thank you, Director Cao and Comrade Qiu.

How about this, you two can rest assured, what you want is not complicated, I will adjust a production line here and make yours first, it won't delay anything."

It also involved packaging and sealing the bags into small pieces. Qiu Yuling and Cao Qing discussed it and split up into two groups. She took a can of shampoo to the furniture factory, and Cao Qing stayed with Chief Niu. It would definitely not work if outsiders were to do it.

"Okay, I know what I'm doing. Just go ahead." Cao Qing was anxious and uncertain along the way. She didn't know when the blisters appeared at the corners of her mouth. Now that everything was settled, she felt uncomfortable.

Qiu Yuling was not in a hurry. If this trip did not go well, she planned to use the outer packaging produced by the system as an emergency measure at the last minute, and then slowly look for a manufacturer for long-term cooperation.

Running was really hard, so she asked Section Chief Niu to borrow a bicycle. When Section Chief Niu took her to get the bicycle, Qiu Yuling took a big front door and said, "Section Chief Niu, please don't refuse. This is not a backdoor.

It's just a small token of my gratitude for your selfless help. I hope you will accept it.

By the way, you can bring this to your family and try it out. It will have an unexpected effect. In our area, it is very prestigious for cadres to bring this when visiting relatives and friends.

If this foreign exchange earning is successful, we will roll out this brand of cleaning products on a large scale, and you will see them in all major department stores..."

Yes, Qiu Yuling lied, but she also didn't. The product did receive good feedback from those who used it, but it was fake to say that it was used as a gift. There was no company that mass-produced it. It was just a gift as a personal hobby for her, which was far from that.

But that doesn't stop her from having this confidence.

This plan had been brewing in her mind for a long time and finally saw the light of day. It took advantage of people's current enthusiasm for earning foreign exchange, as well as the mentality that everything abroad is better due to the economic gap between us and the outside world after the reform and opening up in the future.

She wanted to first conquer the overseas market with her products, temporarily focusing on high-end domestic supply and using hunger marketing, then one day she would make a comeback and go back to conquer the domestic market...

We cannot allow robbers to steal our ancestors’ things and then change the recipe to bring disaster to our descendants.

Before Section Chief Niu could refuse, Qiu Yuling stuffed his arms full of the blue round-ear cloth bag.

Qiu Yuling found the furniture factory by following the hand-drawn map and using inquiry-based navigation.

She took out Chief Niu's letter of introduction, talked about Cao Qing's connections in the Foreign Trade Department, and his enthusiasm for earning foreign exchange for the country. With each person holding a box of Daqianmen cigarettes, she easily knocked on the door of the furniture factory.

According to her request, a lot of hollow bamboos were cut. After some demonstrations with the master craftsman, the other party made a sample and made the screw cover she wanted.

Next it's time to draw.

She took out a drawing she had prepared in advance. It was a simple sketch of a maid washing hair from behind, with the emphasis on her long hair.

The master craftsman at the furniture factory said that there was nothing wrong with these, “but this kind of thing can’t just be cut and made.

It also needs to be boiled in salt water. The boiled bamboo can remove the sugar powder, and the bamboo fiber shrinks to become stronger and more durable. After drying, it needs to be polished on a lathe one by one. After that, it needs to be cleaned, dried, etc. No step can be missed.

Otherwise, it won’t have the effect you want, and the jars made in this way are durable.”

Qiu Yuling listened carefully and wrote down the master's steps one by one, "Master, how long will it take me to make these 200?" When she first came, they were packed in canning bottles, which were big. Now they are packed in small jars like this. It is estimated that one can be divided into three or four jars, so she needs to prepare more.

"It'll take a whole day, and you still have to draw and color. A day is already very tight."

Qiu Yuling expressed her understanding. "Master, slow work produces fine results. This time we're going to take it to the Guangzhou International Fair. We can spare two days. Do you think that's enough?"

The old master clapped his hands and said, "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

Qiu Yuling put on a watch and recorded every step from beginning to end.

To establish her own brand, she would have to take everything into consideration in the future and not rely on others all the time. She memorized the processes and procedures, as well as various essentials, and now she only needs to purchase bamboo materials.

That night, the two met at the hotel. Qiu Yuling took out a bottle of shampoo that was slightly larger than the palm of her hand and asked Cao Qing to look at it.

"It's so exquisite, I can't let it go. Xiao Qiu, we will probably succeed this time." The jar felt so smooth that she rubbed it repeatedly.

"If I had a jar like this, I'd use it as a teacup."

Qiu Yuling smiled and replied, "It's made with the same craftsmanship as the small teacups, so it can also be used as a teacup. I gave the master craftsman a portion of our specialty and asked him to make a set of tea sets for each of us.

I'll bring it to you when I pick up the goods tomorrow."

Cao Qing also showed Qiu Yuling the progress she had made. "I'll be working tomorrow, too. What do we call it? Do you have any ideas beforehand?"

"'Longshangxiang' or 'Longyuanxiang' is named after our Gansu Province. Plus, everything we make is fragrant, just like the perfumes used by ladies in the old days. If we combine the two, do you think it would work?"
