After the Friendship Store opened in the city, fewer and fewer people came to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Lin Ziyan opened a jar of shrimp paste, handed it to Manager Song, and said with a smile,

"You can try it first."

She knew what Manager Song was hesitating about. Now that individual businesses were legal, there were more and more shops outside, and the supply and marketing cooperatives were being squeezed out of business.

The impact on county towns and townships is not obvious at present, but the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city have been greatly affected.

A delicious aroma filled the store, making people's mouths water.

Several foreigners followed the aroma to the cashier and exclaimed in English, "What kind of sauce is this? It smells delicious!"

Manager Song was stunned, unable to understand what he was saying.

The sales clerk next to him was sweating profusely and at a loss for what to do.

“This is shrimp paste, you can eat it directly,” Lin Ziyan said to them in English.

I briefly explained the ingredients of shrimp paste.

This time, she brought samples in spicy, original, and garlic flavors.

The one I just opened has a spicy flavor; the smell alone makes my mouth water for days.

"Comrade Lin, what did they say?" Manager Song asked hurriedly.

His gaze towards Lin Ziyan changed instantly; there weren't many factory managers who could speak English.

Lin Ziyan translated what they were saying.

Manager Song hurriedly asked the salesperson next to him to get some disposable chopsticks.

"Comrade Lin, could you help them translate? They can try it." Manager Song's palms were sweating, and he was so nervous that he stammered.

These foreigners are not simple people; they once came to the supply and marketing cooperative with city leaders.

If they take a liking to our shrimp paste, we might just land a big order...
