Chapter 166 Pickles Open Up Sales

"Who is it?"

When Li Meng came back with the plate and sat down, Wu Ruirui approached Li Meng and asked in a low voice.

"Two people trying to get close to me!" Li Meng replied unhappily.

The others looked at each other, and when they saw the empty plate on the table, they knew what was going on.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very good. No one asked what had just happened at the door and everyone continued chatting lively.

Finally, Liang Dong had a full stomach and followed Captain Huang back to his home to stay overnight.

Everything went on in an orderly manner. The next morning, Zhou Hui drove his car to continue the delivery mode, but when he came back, he brought back good news.

Director Jiang from the town’s supply and marketing cooperative also brought an order for soy products. This order gave Li Meng more confidence to expand the scale of production at the soy product processing plant.

Once we get the order from the glass factory, we will plan to expand the processing plant and enlarge the backyard a little bit so that we can keep up with the supply demand.

If we want to take care of the piglets and ducklings at the same time, we will need more manpower. When the time comes, let Captain Huang take care of this matter.

She won't worry about it. Making money is her job.

Liang Dong insisted on finishing his lunch before going back. He also asked Li Meng to cook several dishes, sealed them in pots, and put them in the car to take back.

She said she was going back to let her parents taste how delicious these soy products are. She even brought some of each kind, and looked like she would definitely get an order for her.

When the car started, he shouted to her to wait for his good news. This scene made Li Meng almost laugh out loud, as if he was the stupid son of a landlord.

The cabbage pickled yesterday can be coated with sauce today. Li Meng plans to make it into Korean kimchi, which will be a good way to eat it when used in soups and stews.

After preparing the sauce, I asked the aunties who were working to help me spread it and put it into a wooden basin to ferment. It would be ready to eat after about 3 days.

"Mengmeng, these cabbages look delicious now." Wu Ruirui said, sniffing. The aroma of the sauce was very tempting.

“We can eat it directly after a few days. It’s also a very delicious dish served with porridge.” Li Meng sealed the wooden basin, and several people worked together to carry it to a cool place and wait for time to ferment into a delicious dish.

Pei Yu went through layers of tests in the army, and his leaders praised his theoretical knowledge and practical ability.

Finally, with the strong support of the leadership, I successfully joined the army's transport team, and in the future I can follow the vehicles to help the troops transport various supplies.

He doesn't have to stay in the army every day, which makes Xie Lei very envious. He regrets why he didn't study hard at that time. They are in the same dormitory, how could there be such a big difference!

Pei Yu’s first time transporting supplies was to the unit where Li Meng’s elder brother Li Wen was. He had heard Li Meng mention that his elder brother was also in the unit before.

This made Pei Yu very happy. After all, Li Wen's unit was not far from Huanglong Village. He could squeeze out time to go to Huanglong Village and give Mengmeng a surprise.

Thinking that he would be able to see his girlfriend soon, Pei Yu felt that the whole air was sweet.

When he was packing his luggage in the dormitory, he had a smile on his face, and Xie Lei thought he was possessed.

"Brother Yu, isn't it just a trip with the convoy to transport supplies? There's no need for you to laugh so weirdly!" Xie Lei was confused and didn't understand what was going on.

"You won't understand even if I tell you. I'll bring you your favorite rabbit leg when the time comes." Pei Yu was too lazy to explain to this single guy whether he had a girlfriend or not!

"Rabbit leg? Brother Yu, are you going to look for your sister-in-law?" Xie Lei sat up from the bed with a grunt, his face full of shock.

Because only his sister-in-law can cook the rabbit legs that he likes, so when Brother Yu said that, he must go to see his sister-in-law.

"Your brain is not in vain!" Pei Yu gave Xie Lei an expression with a smile on his face.

"Ha, is the unit you're heading to this time with my sister-in-law? No wonder you're smiling so brightly. Humph, you're using your power for personal gain to visit your girlfriend, right?"

Xie Lei was so angry that he wanted to punch the bed. If he went with them, not only would his sister-in-law be a good cook, but he might also be able to find a girlfriend among the girls around her. He was really mad at himself. He would start studying hard tomorrow and try to travel around the country with the transport team.

Li Meng doesn’t know yet that her boyfriend is coming back to see her. These past few days she has been busy packing Korean kimchi into small jars and bringing them to some of her big clients for tasting!

The fermented tofu was ready, with two flavors made. We also put some kimchi and dried radish in it, and headed to the town on Zhou Hui's donkey cart.

As she expected, Director Jiang Fangwei of the supply and marketing cooperative immediately placed an order for 100 bottles of each after tasting the pickles and dried radishes she brought.

This generous move made Li Meng and Zhou Hui smile all the time.

The two parties signed the agreement immediately, Director Jiang generously paid the deposit, and sent Li Meng out of the supply and marketing cooperative with a smile on his face.

"Girl, work hard. I have confidence in you." Jiang Fangwei said with a smile on his face.

"Haha, I also have high hopes for myself. When I'm done with my work, I'll invite you to our village as a guest. I'll cook some delicious dishes to thank you very much." Li Meng was not modest and followed suit.

"Okay, okay, you know what, after eating the meal you cooked, I really miss this dish!" Jiang Fangwei said happily.

Li Meng's second stop was the State-owned Restaurant, where she was surrounded by Chef Yao and Manager Chen, who were all conquered by the taste of the kimchi and dried radish she brought.

"This pickled vegetable can be eaten alone or used in cooking. You can also put small jars of it at the cashier counter. When diners see it, they will take a bottle home to let their families taste it. This can also increase the income of the store."

Li Meng used his sales skills and started introducing the two people.

"Girl, how come you have such a smart brain!" Chen Guofu praised. The method Li Meng mentioned was indeed good, and the food was really delicious.

"If you place an order, I'll give you more. You'll have to cut it up and put it on a plate for the customers to taste for free. If they think it's good, they'll definitely buy it."

Li Meng continued to explain the sales strategy to Chen Guofu.

Finally, Chen Guofu placed the order readily, fifty bottles of each.

Li Meng also asked him to leave Director Wang Jianghe's sample in the store and bring it to Director Wang when the time comes.

Chen Guofu readily agreed and promised to bring it to her.

In this way, the orders for these pickles were a good start. After the orders were placed, she believed that the market for these pickles would be opened up. After all, in this era, people at home only added a little salt to pickled vegetables.
