As soon as she finished speaking, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. The villagers cheered, and the commune secretary nodded with a smile: "Wanqiu is right! 'Wanqiu Food Workshop' should not only make delicious pastries, but also serve as a model for helping villagers get rich! The commune will strongly support you in the future; please let us know if you encounter any difficulties!"
After the opening ceremony, Lin Wanqiu and Shen Tingzhou invited everyone to lunch. A dozen tables were set up in the courtyard, laden with dishes made from the workshop's newly produced pastries and local village specialties. There were peach shortbread with millet porridge, sesame cakes with cucumber salad, and freshly stewed chicken soup, all emitting a wonderful aroma. Everyone sat together, enjoying the food, chatting and laughing, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
During the meeting, Director Zhou pulled Lin Wanqiu and Shen Tingzhou aside and talked about the upcoming cooperation plan: "Our co-branded pastries can first be sold on a trial basis in the county's supply and marketing cooperatives and pastry shops. If the response is good, we will promote them to the surrounding communes, or even the city. In addition, I would like to ask Comrade Lin to help develop a few new flavors of pastries, such as red bean paste cake and osmanthus cake, to enrich our product line."
Lin Wanqiu's eyes lit up: "No problem! I've been thinking about developing new flavors for a while now. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll start testing them and make sure everyone is satisfied!"
Shen Tingzhou added, "We will prepare the raw materials needed for developing new flavors as soon as possible. In addition, the production scale of the workshop also needs to be expanded. We only have three factory buildings now. If sales increase in the future, we may need to build a few more and hire more workers."
Factory Director Zhou nodded in agreement: "It's good that you have long-term plans. If you need any help from the food factory, just let us know. I believe our cooperation will be a success, and the name 'Late Autumn Food Workshop' will spread throughout the county!"
Looking at the bustling scene before her, Lin Wanqiu was filled with anticipation. She knew that the opening of "Wanqiu Food Workshop" was just the beginning, and many more challenges awaited her in the future, but she was not afraid—with Shen Tingzhou's support, the trust of her fellow villagers, and the cooperation of the county food factory, she was certain that she could make "Wanqiu Food Workshop" better and better, and enable more villagers to live a better life.
