"As wedding candy or gift, hemp candy has a great advantage!"

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "It is fluffy and has bubbles. It has a low density, so the same weight will appear to be more. Whether it is wedding candy or gift candy, people will think that the buyer is very generous!"

"Oh, Zhengjun, your idea is really great. It plays to one's strengths and avoids one's weaknesses!"

Hao Jianguo rubbed his hands excitedly, opening the door to a new world, and said with a smile: "Do you need me to help you contact the printing factory?"

"The cost of the printing factory is too high. At the beginning, I planned to keep it simple. We can buy some red paper, gold lacquer and ink, carve some woodcuts, and print them ourselves. You just need to get me some high-quality red paper and ink, wood boards, and carving knives!" Lin Zhengjun said.

"No problem, I will help you find the source of goods. If you need my help in the future, I can help you contact the printing factory!" Hao Jianguo said generously.

…

After being beaten, Wei Shanhu did not leave happily, but hid in the yard opposite the County Supply and Marketing Cooperative to observe Lin Zhengjun's sales.

But when Wei Shanhu saw Hao Jianguo and Lin Zhengjun coming out arm in arm, sending him to the car and even stuffing him a bottle of soda, his face was distorted with anger.

Why?

How could the sesame candy made by a second-rate person be any better than mine, but the cadres of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative value her so much.

It would have been fine if you didn't buy my candy, but you also beat me up!

It must be that Lin Zhengjun who did something bad on purpose. He gave a heads-up to the people at the supply and marketing cooperative and targeted me maliciously. No matter how well I do, they won't accept it!

And that little slut Tang Xiaofu!

A year ago, I promised to give her more work points, let her do light work, and even guaranteed to recommend her to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

But she refused to let anyone touch her, and even spat in her own face, but turned around and threw herself into the arms of such a second-rate guy like Lin Zhengjun!

Wei Shanhu became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He hated Lin Zhengjun so much that he secretly vowed to take revenge...

…

Lin Zhengjun didn't know that Wei Shanhu was targeting him again.

I bought a batch of suitable kraft paper, red paper, straw ropes, a bucket of golden ink, a few hardwood boards, carving knives and other things from the supply and marketing cooperative facing the street in front of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative before returning home.

Lin Zhengjun's method of printing ** is similar to "printing", which is actually very primitive, but it saves costs.

There is no other way. At this stage, the hemp candy workshop is just starting out and the accumulated funds are not enough. If modern printing technology is used, the cost will be too high, so we have to save as much as possible.

It was afternoon when I got home.

Seeing Lin Zhengjun coming back, Tang Xiaofu asked with concern: "You came back so early, have you had lunch? If not, there is a bowl of dumplings in the kitchen!"

“I really didn’t eat it!”

"Okay, you must be very tired. Wash your face and take a rest first. I'll bring it to you!" Tang Xiaofu first filled a basin of cold water for Lin Zhengjun, threw a towel in, brought the dumplings over, and also prepared a bowl of sauce.

Today is Sunday. Lin Hongying is resting at home. She looked through Lin Zhengjun's satchel and sack, and then said disappointedly, "Brother, why didn't you buy any food this time?"

"We were in a hurry this time. I'll buy you whatever you want to eat next time!"

Lin Zhengjun smiled without a trace of impatience.

After being reborn, I actually discovered my sister’s potential as a foodie. How interesting!

"Wow, I can even order food!" Lin Hongying happily ordered a few dishes, and Lin Zhengjun nodded in agreement.

Tang Xiaofu picked up the wood board and carving knife and asked curiously: "Why did you buy the wood board and carving knife? And this ink is actually golden yellow!"

“Guess!”

Tang Xiaofu's watery eyes turned a few times, and she smiled sweetly and said, "I see, you want to be Ma Tang's **, right!"

"The one who understands me best is Tang Xiaofu! We have such a tacit understanding!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"What? There's going to be a candy bar too!"

"Then wouldn't our products be the same as the candies from the state-owned factories?"

"Not bad, it looks pretty good!"

"We are so awesome. Let alone other family workshops, even the collective cooperatives in the whole commune, whose products can compare with ours!"

"Don't mention the collective cooperative. The glass collective cooperative run by the commune produces ugly cans that can't be sold. I heard that the commune director is almost worried to death!"

Hearing that Matang was going to make a movie, Wei Hongbing, Lin Tiedan and others gathered around with great interest, their eyes excited and eager, as if they were doing something big.

Lin Zhengjun talked about the large number of sugars that would soon be on the market, as well as his own ** design concept.

"Commander Lin, this is a good idea!"

"As soon as they are released, I will smash them to pieces!"

"Then we are really awesome!"

When they heard that they were going to compete with people from a large state-owned factory, these guys showed no fear at all. Instead, they shouted excitedly. Lin Zhengjun was speechless.

"But I only have the idea, but I can't draw. I need to find someone who can draw and sculpt," said Lin Zhengjun.

Tang Xiaofu suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't I give it a try!"

"What? You can also paint and sculpt?" Lin Zhengjun asked in surprise.

In his previous life, he lived with Tang Xiaofu for several years, but he only saw Tang Xiaofu doing housework day and night, but he had never seen her paint!

"Yes, when I was young, I studied Chinese painting and calligraphy for five years with a teacher, and I also learned seal carving."

Tang Xiaofu said: "However, literati paintings were criticized in the past few years, and they could only paint themes of workers, peasants and soldiers or red landscapes. I felt that it was meaningless and I didn't dare to paint randomly, so I stopped painting!"

How many more surprises will this girl give me!

What a treasure girl! Not only does she have a great figure, she also has talent!

"Actually, it's very simple. I just want to come up with some double happiness characters, or some auspicious phrases like 'May you have a happy marriage for a hundred years' or 'May you have a son soon'..." Lin Zhengjun expressed his thoughts.

"I suggest that we add some patterns. For example, the small designs on the wedding candies can be a bride and groom in wedding clothes, or a fat baby holding a big carp. The small designs on the gift candies can be a Welcoming Pine, which means longevity and immortality..." said Tang Xiaofu.

"The area of ​​the paper is not big, can you draw it?" Lin Zhengjun asked.

"Use lines to outline, and just aim for freehand and vivid expression. That's not a big problem. Well, this is also the characteristic of printmaking!" said Tang Xiaofu.

"Then you try it!"

"Okay! Let me make a sample first!" Tang Xiaofu immediately picked up a pen and a piece of white paper and started drawing.

After a short while, two works came out. The thumb-sized figures were lifelike and exuded a festive atmosphere, which made people feel happy at first sight.

The font is an artistic style that is very characteristic of the time, but with slight improvements, it is even more aesthetically pleasing, and even from the perspective of later generations, it is still beautiful!

"Is it okay?" Tang Xiaofu asked a little nervously.

"Amazing! It's so beautiful!"

Lin Zhengjun was generous with his praise.

Tang Xiaofu was so excited by Lin Zhengjun's praise that she said sweetly, "It's not that good. I haven't painted for a long time. My hands are a little rusty. I'll revise it!"

"Tang Zhiqing, you are so amazing!"

"It's so beautiful and festive! I think I can enlarge it and put it up in my home!"

Everyone looked at the **design with surprise and full of admiration for Tang Xiaofu.

Tang Xiaofu smiled and said, "Zhengjun, have you ever thought about creating a brand and a trademark?"

“Do it!”

"What's that called?"

"Let's call it 'Lao Gan Die', with a portrait of a kind old grandfather. Just draw it based on the look of my dad, who is so kind!" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"That's not a big deal. I beat you three times a day. How kind of me!" Wei Hongbing interrupted.

Everyone laughed, the courtyard was filled with a joyful atmosphere, and everyone's heart was full of expectations and hope.

"good!"

Tang Xiaofu smiled sweetly, finding it very interesting, and started sketching.

After dinner, seeing that the malt had not yet fermented, Lin Zhengjun did not have to make sesame candy tonight, so he picked up two bottles of wine and went to Lin Bingde's house to discuss the homestead issue.
