Chapter 162 Understanding and Meeting the Requirements of Every Supply and Marketing Cooperative
Li Ran stood there in a daze until Yu Zhile's figure disappeared at the end of the path. Then he slowly turned around and went back to the yard, completely unaware of Yu Chuyue who was a few meters away.
"It's not that I'm not considering it for the time being, but it's out of reach." Yu Chuyue murmured.
As she spoke, many images flooded into her mind, and she unconsciously increased the strength with which she pinched the dried lemongrass.
The herbal scent with a hint of fresh lemon scent rushed into her nostrils, bringing her back to her senses, and she turned and left.
At the same time, Yu Zhile met Zhang Wenxin on the way home and told her the news of receiving a big order.
"One thousand three hundred cans? Is this the amount required for the deposit alone?" Zhang Wenxin's eyes lit up and he gestured two numbers.
Yu Zhile smiled and replied: "Well, the deposit is still with me, I am going to give it to Chu Yue now."
"She's not at your house anymore. Chen Zhao said Qin Yunbai is explaining a problem to Xiao Yue." Zhang Wenxin waved her hand. "I heard from Elder Chen and the others this morning that the wormwood used to smoke mosquitoes in the courtyard has run out. She should have sent some new ones by now."
Yu Zhile pondered for a few seconds and said, "You will be responsible for connecting with the kelp farming team. I will give you the information this afternoon."
"Okay, just focus on the list of the supplementary food group." Zhang Wenxin agreed without thinking too much.
She also said that she would go back to the sideline group's compound to take the deposit and contract.
After the two separated, Yu Zhile did not go home immediately. Instead, he went to inform Yu Haizong and Aunt Zhang Er, asking them to make proper arrangements.
When Aunt Zhang heard this, she immediately threw away the water scoop and ran to inform her sisters.
Soon, everyone in the whole village knew that the sideline business group had received a large order. Those who had previously complained about the blue brick courtyard were silenced, and everyone began to look forward to the scene of dividing the money at the end of the year.
In the Yu family courtyard, Father Zhou held Yu Chi in his arms and talked at length about the heroic deeds the couple had done in the past, while Yu Yue and Qin Yunbai discussed issues in a low voice in the corner.
As soon as Yu Zhile entered the door, he met Zhou Yuesheng's eyes, who was processing seafood. He curled the corners of his mouth and winked at him.
"Le Le." Qu Rong waved at her and called her gently.
Yu Zhile sat down beside her and held her arm affectionately, making her expression softer.
At that time, Qu Rong had lost all the seriousness she had when they first met. She patted her head again, and then whispered to her about Zhou Yuesheng's childhood.
The two got along very well and even after chatting for a long time they still felt they had not had enough.
The same was true for Zhou's father. As soon as he met Yu Chi's bright eyes, he felt full of energy and wanted to tell him all his experiences like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
"Brother Yu, your yard is a bit magical. Uncle Zhou and Aunt Qu become chatterboxes whenever they enter." Qin Yunbai joked, "Also, Comrade Xiao Yu just now was more talkative than that night."
Zhou Yuesheng responded: "That's right. Within three sentences, the genius physicist turned back into Qin San."
The nonsensical conversation made Yu Zhile stare at the two of them curiously.
Qin Yunbai curled his lips, rolled his eyes at him, then walked to the dining table to help Yu Wanqin set the tableware.
"I haven't seen them bickering for a long time. It would be more lively if Qi Er was here too. He would like Xiaobao." Dad Zhou was very emotional.
Qu Rong smiled and said, "These moments become more precious when you grow up. Who wouldn't have disliked their noise fifteen years ago?"
More than a dozen steaming dishes were served on the table, each with its own flavor, easily whetting everyone's appetite.
Because Qu Rong and the other two were going to return to Beijing after dinner, there was no wine during the meal, but the atmosphere was quite lively and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
When they parted, Qu Rong was reluctant to leave. She gently touched Yu Zhile's face and said, "Come to Beijing in December, and I'll take you to eat roast duck and shabu-shabu mutton."
"Okay, then I'll eat lots and lots of dishes." Yu Zhile spoke childishly.
Qu Rong was very much attracted by this trick. Her heart almost melted and she was so flattered by her that she could not even see her eyebrows.
On the other hand, Zhou's father treated Xiaobao as a friend regardless of age difference. He said goodbye to him seriously and agreed on the next time they would meet.
"Uncle Zhou, see you in December." Yu Chi said seriously.
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and the laughter dispelled the sadness of parting.
Qin Yunbai started the car, which raised a little dust and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
After a long while, the sound of a car was heard from the direction of the cowshed. Dr. Hu and Mr. and Mrs. Chen Hua also set off back to Beijing.
Yu Zhile went back to her room and got a stack of stationery. She was going to write a plan for Mr. Du, but it had nothing to do with this collaboration. This time she had decided to accept Wang Sumei's invitation.
With the current strength of Haiyu Village, it is not enough to take the leading role in the cooperation with Du Sheng. She wants to go to the provincial capital cannery to learn about operation management and build a more mature system so that Haiyu Village's non-staple food processing factory can develop in the long run.
Seeing that she was busy working, Yu Wanqin and the others stopped chatting and went back to their rooms to prepare for lunch.
Yu Zhile wrote for more than two hours. After he pulled his mind away, he felt severe pain in his shoulders and neck. He closed his eyes and turned his neck to relieve the pain.
"Don't move, let me press it for you." Zhou Yuesheng's warm palm fell on her neck.
His fingers slid slowly along both sides of his cervical vertebrae, sometimes pressing lightly, sometimes kneading, allowing the tense muscles to slowly relax.
Yu Zhile felt the fatigue in his body gradually dissipate and let out a long sigh.
"Are you worried about something?" Zhou Yuesheng asked.
When Yu Zhile walked in and looked at him, he noticed her slightly furrowed brows and the forced smile.
Yu Zhile hummed and added: "It has nothing to do with work, so it's hard to tell you. I will find a suitable opportunity to solve it."
Hearing this, Zhou Yuesheng did not ask any more questions and gave her a massage quietly.
The weather gradually turned cooler, and there were no more cicadas chirping in the afternoon. The courtyard was filled with silence, which lasted for a long time before being broken.
"Okay, I'm not tired anymore." Yu Zhile held Zhou Yuesheng's hand and stopped him, then turned around and looked up at him, "Are your hands tired? Do you want me to help you relax?"
She pinched his fingertips, and then she realized that this was the first time she had observed his hands up close. When their palms overlapped, she realized that his hands were a circle larger than hers, and the skin color was in stark contrast.
Zhou Yuesheng was in a trance for a moment, and then he truly realized that what was burning that day was not the setting sun, but his heart.
"What's wrong?" Yu Zhile scratched his palm.
Zhou Yuesheng said: "I want to kiss you, very much."
After saying that, he held Yu Zhile's face and leaned over to kiss her.
The moment their lips touched, his breathing rhythm slowed down, and he could hear his lover's breathing in his ears, as well as the sound of waves deep in his memory.
After lunch, Yu Zhile revised the plan, but did not send it out immediately. Instead, he put it aside and turned to write a letter to Wang Sumei.
In the letter, she made two small requests: she hoped to be able to decide her own working hours and to be able to learn from Yu Peilan during her employment.
At noon the next day, Yu Peilan and He Youan returned to the provincial capital and took her letter with them.
Yu Zhile continued to revise the contents of the supplementary plan. When his thoughts were blocked, Zhang Wenxin came hurriedly and grabbed his hand and walked towards the courtyard of the sideline group.
"What happened?" she asked.
Zhang Wenxin panted and said, "The buyers have caused trouble in our courtyard again. Everyone wants to buy canned seafood that is more to their taste."
As soon as Yu Zhile heard it, she knew that the news of Wu County’s order yesterday had spread, and she thought to herself that the information flowed very quickly between them.
"Comrade Yu, the spicy fried abalone and snails you provided last time were a bit too spicy for us from Shan County. We would like to order the less spicy fried shrimp."
"We think it's not spicy enough and hope it can be spicier."
"I also think the spicy seafood in your town is better, and I want to order a spicy one. I also want to ask, can you make a canned product with pickled pepper flavor?"
As soon as they saw Yu Zhile, the buyers surrounded her and expressed their demands in a buzzing manner.
"Everyone calm down first." Yu Zhile said in a clear voice to control the situation, "We will try our best to meet everyone's requirements, but we need you to raise them one by one so that we can record them."
Everyone sat around a long table and stated their requirements one by one in a clockwise direction.
Yu Zhile took notes while listening, and after summarizing, he found that their requirements were similar. Some wanted to change to the flavor of state-owned restaurants, or to increase or decrease the spiciness based on the original flavor.
She thought about it and felt that this opportunity came at the right time. Fixed flavor would be beneficial to the construction of the production line later. Now she only needed to differentiate the spiciness.
"We can meet your requirements. You can register the quantity and pay the deposit." Yu Zhile said calmly, "As for the pickled pepper flavor, we will consider launching it after research."
This time, no one was concerned about the order of delivery, and only a latest delivery time was stipulated in the contract.
The buyer who came to Haiyu Village for the first time followed the procedure of everyone else and left directly after paying the deposit.
After everyone left, Zhang Wenxin asked in confusion: "Why do we have to meet all the requirements? This will increase the workload."
"No, it will be more convenient for us to arrange the shipping time." Yu Zhile pushed the notebook in front of her.
She recorded everyone's ideas in the form of a table so that everyone's demands were clear at a glance.
Zhang Wenxin suddenly realized that they were using relatively general terms in their descriptions. Yu Zhile had already divided the spiciness column into three categories: small, medium, and large, using different symbols. She had also arranged the production time.
Yu Zhile knew that she had figured it out, so he lowered his head to count the total number and said, "Chu Yue, the new batch of label paper needs to be differentiated by spiciness. I think we can use the number of pepper sketches under the trademark to distinguish them."
A few minutes passed and she didn't get a response. She looked up and found Yu Chuyue's eyes wandering.
Zhang Wenxin also noticed that she was distracted, so she waved her hand and called out, "Chu Yue? What are you thinking about?"
Yu Chuyue came to her senses and hurriedly asked what the two had said.
Yu Zhile repeated what she had just said, and Yu Chuyue nodded seriously and took note of her suggestion.
At this time, Luo Ping and Mr. Chen, who had gone to the town to attend the September summary meeting, returned to the courtyard and brought back a letter and a package for Li Ran.
"Xiao Ran, Guangdong Province has sent you a letter and a package." Luo Ping loudly reminded Li Ran who was looking through some documents in the room.
