Chapter 84 The most important thing is to care for people
"How about this, Xiaofang? I have a suggestion. Go back and talk to your boss. Offer me 150 bottles at a price of 3.5%. If he agrees, I'll give you a big gift that will solve your root problem."
"One hundred and fifty pieces at a price of three and a half cents... This, this is absolutely not possible!" Wu Xiaofang refused in embarrassment.
Shen Sisi didn't intend to embarrass her, she just whispered a few words in her ear, Wu Xiaofang frowned slightly: "Sister Sisi, do you really want to say that?"
"Let's try it. If your manager doesn't agree, then I can only buy it at the original price. However, the 'big gift' I mentioned will be gone..."
Wu Xiaofang hummed, "Sister Sisi, I believe you. I'll go find our leader after lunch."
While chatting, Xu Jinhua started to cook the braised crispy pork trotters.
The whole house was filled with the strong aroma of sauce.
"Don't just chat, drink some water and eat some melon seeds..." Xu Jinhua lifted the door curtain and walked out with some fruit in her hand. She really treated her as a guest of honor.
Shen Sisi smiled and said, “We didn’t talk about anything, just some small business matters.”
"I didn't realize that your well-mannered young wife could also do business..."
"I'm also crossing the river by feeling the stones, and I'm trying to test the depth!" Shen Sisi chatted with them casually.
I just found out that Xu Jinhua was the director of the management office of this small market and just retired this year.
No wonder she said before that everyone doing business in this area knew her.
Her husband died early, and she raised her son and daughter alone.
Shen Sisi already knew her daughter, Wu Xiaofang, who worked in a glass factory. That day, Xu Jinhua lost her mind on the boat because she was worried about her daughter's work.
She also has a son named Wu Xiaochuan, who works in shipping on cargo ships.
The main routes are between my country, Europe and North Africa.
It sails from Jiangcheng along the river into the sea, goes south through the Strait of Malacca, and crosses the Indian Ocean. It takes nearly half a year to sail there, and it is difficult to see it a few times a year.
How could she not look haggard while worrying about her son day and night and taking care of her daughter's work?
"Auntie, don't worry too much. They will be fine. But you should take good care of yourself..."
Shen Sisi comforted her and advised her to relax.
Hearing her gentle voice, Xu Jinhua was indeed relieved.
"Thank you, Sisi. You look so polite and well-spoken. What does your family do?"
Speaking of her family, Shen Sisi's expression dimmed a bit: "My father is a teacher, and my mother works in the county propaganda department."
"Oh, that's a great unit! Your parents are intellectuals, no wonder they raised you so well."
If this had happened a few years ago, Shen Sisi couldn't even imagine anyone praising her.
I envy her that her parents are intellectuals.
Times have indeed changed. I wonder if her father's case can be redressed...
When Xu Jinhua learned that Chen Sisi had married a soldier, her eyes were filled with envy.
"Sisi, your husband is the regiment commander, so could you help me keep an eye out for single soldiers in the army? My Xiaofang doesn't have a partner yet!"
"Mom, what are you talking about? I don't want to find a partner!"
"You're already 22, what else do you want to talk about if not dating? Go play the piano on the street. The guys in the military camp are so good. I'm afraid they look down on you!"
Wu Xiaofang blushed, "Mom, shut up! How can you insult your own daughter like that..."
Shen Sisi was amused by the mother and daughter: "Yes, Auntie, as the saying goes, a good girl is sought after by hundreds of families. A girl as good as Xiaofang will never have trouble finding a partner."
"I'm going to say something I shouldn't say. Don't ever say that again. Especially when Xiaofang is looking for a partner, how that person treats her will depend on your attitude."
"You treasure this daughter, and no one dares to look down on her."
"If you don't even look down on her, it's impossible for her to cherish you either."
Xu Jinhua was stunned. Seeing that her daughter was so moved that she was about to cry, she thought for a moment, was she really wrong?
"Finally, someone has spoken up for me after all these years..." Wu Xiaofang choked up, and the world in front of her was covered with a thin layer of mist.
Shen Sisi nodded at her, she understood everything.
Looking at Wu Xiaofang's timid personality, she understood that she must have suffered a lot from Xu Jinhua since she was a child.
"Hey, I've...been used to it for decades, but you're right. My attitude will affect the man's family's attitude towards Xiaofang. I'll definitely pay attention to it in the future!"
"That's a deal. Remember to help my Xiaofang find a partner in the military camp!"
Shen Sisi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Thinking that there should be many single young officers and soldiers in the barracks, she became interested: "What kind of person are you looking for?"
Xu Jinhua thought carefully for a long while: "We don't ask for any dowry. As long as the family conditions are not too bad, he is good-looking, upright, and caring... Most importantly, my Xiaofang also likes him!"
Shen Sisi patted her chest and said, “Okay, I’ll ask when I get home tonight.”
After having a crispy pork trotter hotpot at Xu Jinhua's house, Shen Sisi went home and took a nap. She was sleeping soundly when she heard someone calling her outside the house.
"Sister Sisi, Sister Sisi..." Wu Xiaofang was carrying a large cardboard box in her hand, sweating profusely from exhaustion.
Shen Sisi climbed out of bed in a daze, and when she saw Wu Xiaofang, she instantly woke up.
"You came so quickly..." She was amazed at Wu Xiaofang's super mobility.
Wu Xiaofang carefully carried the box into the house. As soon as she put it down, she excitedly grabbed Shen Sisi's hand: "Sister Sisi, I conveyed it as you said. Our leader...he agreed!!!"
"Really!" Shen Sisi was also very excited. Her happiness lasted only a few seconds before Wu Xiaofang bit her lip in embarrassment: "But, our leader said that you have to show them some sincerity."
"You can't just talk nonsense!"
Wu Xiaofang is a very honest person. She repeats whatever her leader says without any idea of how to roundabout it.
Shen Sisi didn't take it to heart, but her eyes sparkled for a moment: "You want sincerity, right? Let them wait. I'll sell this batch of goods first, and then I'll show them my so-called 'sincerity'..."
"But we have a deal. If I do that, they must guarantee the quality and quantity and the lowest price for me in the future."
Wu Xiaofang looked at her with eyes filled with admiration: "My leader promised it himself, I can testify!"
"Okay!" Shen Sisi rolled up her sleeves, ambitiously ready to start a career...
First, the oil was filled and the medicinal oil promised to Cao Hua and the uncle at the dock was successfully delivered.
She filled the medicated oil at home and asked Dong Xiaojiang to help her. She took her hand-drawn golden phoenix pattern to a printing factory, had 5,000 copies printed, and then pasted it on the bottle.
You know what, it looks pretty good.
Subsequently, a new cost accounting was carried out, taking into account the wages of Zhang Xiuhong, Li Wenhui, and Cao Hua's profit, and the price was re-set.
The unit price this time is set at RMB 1.20. If you use it economically, one bottle can last for a month.
The small bottle is not only much cheaper but also easier to carry.
She also took it to the dock to deliver the goods with the mentality of giving it a try, but she didn't expect that it would be more popular than the big bottle.
At the uncle's place, many people came up to him and rushed to buy, which completely exceeded his expectations.
If she hadn't been afraid that Cao Hua wouldn't have enough to sell, this box of medicinal oil would have been sold out long ago.
Shen Sisi was shocked. What was going on?
