Chapter 98: Canton Fair Shines



Then another foreign friend who can't handle spicy food asked, "This is really spicy, but I'm afraid I'll get a sore throat if I eat too much."

Liu Yanran took out another can of fruit. "These are all made from fresh fruit. There are no additives in them. It's just fruit and sugar. Whether you're feeling spicy or tired of it, you can have a bite."

As she spoke, she handed the canned fruit to the woman she was talking to, and thoughtfully prepared a spoon. The woman took a bite of the canned fruit, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately placed an order.

Seeing that more and more people were placing orders, Su Wanwan could no longer continue the food broadcast, so the second person took over. His name was Yang Daxixi, and he was the pillar of the family. He had just switched to sales in order to earn more to support his family. He had no skills, and his way of eating was just to show off, but his way of eating attracted many people to place orders, so he was also busy signing contracts.

The last one, Luo Jinyang, had to take over. He was an intern, a little smart, and a foodie. He would go out to eat all kinds of delicious food after receiving his salary. This kind of job where he could eat and make money at the same time was simply his dream job, so he ate very happily and still attracted many customers to place orders.

The other salespeople were naturally jealous, and they also actively communicated with customers. Liu Yanran interspersed among them, providing translation services whenever they saw someone who needed it. It was a busy and fulfilling day. By the end of the exhibition, several people were so busy that they could barely stand up straight, their throats were almost smoking.

Several people in charge of the exhibition were all smiling. The unit price of the cannery was not high, averaging just over one dollar, but it actually exceeded 500,000 US dollars. The unit price of the hot pot seasoning manufacturers was even lower, their products were only a few cents, and they thought it would be a blessing to get tens of thousands of dollars, but they didn't expect it to be 320,000 US dollars. As for the pot manufacturers, their pots had no advantages over foreign products, but they were cheap, so they also had sales of 110,000 US dollars, which they did not expect.

Telephones were not yet popular at that time, so it was not easy to find people. Fortunately, the factory offices all had their own telephones, so several responsible persons called their factory managers overnight to explain the situation.

Liu Yanran had no idea what was going on. She only knew that when she arrived at the exhibition hall, several responsible persons came to her with thick envelopes.

They said politely, "Comrade Xiao Liu, this is the bonus you deserve. Please accept it."

Seeing this considerable bonus, Liu Yanran was also shocked. Although she knew that the translation work would be paid and that she would receive a bonus for her excellent performance, she did not expect it to be so much. It was several times more than she had imagined before.

With this unexpected windfall, Liu Yanran returned to school contentedly. Her appearance on campus immediately caused a stir. Classmates flocked to her, curiously asking about her experiences and accomplishments from the trip. Seeing everyone's envious looks, Liu Yanran couldn't help but feel a little proud.

It turned out that she had not only successfully completed the translation task but had also taken on additional sales work, helping several factories successfully sign contracts. This news quickly spread throughout the school, and everyone took notice of her. After all, in those days, people who were both proficient in foreign languages ​​and sales skills were extremely rare.

Having exceeded her target, Liu Yanran felt particularly refreshed. On the last day of her trip, she completely relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed shopping.

There are a wide variety of goods here, and no tickets are required to purchase them. This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Liu Yanran, who has always lived in an environment with material scarcity.

Today was the last day of the exhibition, and many exhibitors were selling their exhibit items at extremely low prices to reduce shipping costs. This news was like heavenly music to Liu Yanran's ears. She was instantly excited like a sparrow, eagerly rushing to the stalls filled with merchandise.

Liu Yanran happily wandered the stalls, carefully selecting her desired items like a treasure hunter. There were beautiful clothes, exquisite accessories, and practical daily necessities, each one captivating her. Faced with these excellent value-for-money treasures, Liu Yanran didn't hesitate, grabbing each one.

Of course, in addition to crazy shopping, Liu Yanran did not forget to enjoy the local food. She enthusiastically tried various special snacks, such as rice noodle rolls, soup and shrimp dumplings. These delicacies made her scream with enjoyment and praise. She also specially went to taste the authentic Cantonese breakfast tea and ordered

There was a table full of various dim sum, such as barbecued pork buns, custard buns, egg tarts, etc. Every bite made her intoxicated, as if she was in a food paradise.

In addition, she also discovered some small restaurants hidden in the alleys. Although the dishes there were simple, they tasted very authentic. She tasted the delicious white-cut chicken and roast meat there, which made people linger for a long time.

During this process, Liu Yanran not only satisfied her taste buds but also felt the local cultural atmosphere. She felt that the people here were full of enthusiasm for life and treated food with great care.

Liu Yanran spent a delightful and fulfilling day. As night fell, she returned home contentedly, her shopping trip a bountiful one. Not only did she buy the items she desired, but she also experienced a unique cultural atmosphere—a truly two-pronged approach.
