"Wanyue".
Xu Liang stood behind Xu Xinyue.
He never used to come out to pick people up; it was always Secretary Guo who came to him.
She smiled, the corners of her mouth curving upwards.
Minister Xu knew she was alright.
"Go in."
Secretary Guo first showed the dried vegetables he brought to the inspector, and then explained the whole story to Minister Xu.
They couldn't change the weather.
We have to choose other methods.
Minister Xu did know about the drying machine, but he didn't mention it. He knew that Xiahe Village had limited funds and its dried vegetable distribution channels hadn't expanded; it only cooperated with one of his grain factories. If he broke the contract, the machine would be stuck in his hands.
Besides, in a small workshop, who uses the air dryer and who doesn't will only cause conflicts.
He wisely didn't mention it.
But I also felt a surge of admiration for Secretary Guo and Captain Yang, who were not confined to their own little world and were always looking for ways to help the village get rich.
Aside from the taste, there's not much difference between charcoal-grilled and naturally air-dried food.
Xu Liang bought it at the original price, but he could only give a conclusion after he sold it.
Secretary Guo felt half relieved.
After chatting for a while, the accountant came over with the ledger. They settled accounts one at a time. After signing and sealing the documents, the accountant gave the money to Secretary Guo, who counted the money clearly in front of them.
He had lost his initial excitement and now, holding several hundred dollars, he remained calm and composed.
After leaving the grain factory, Qiao Wanyue and Secretary Guo told the tractor driver that they would be going back later. The driver wasn't annoyed; they were government employees and, apart from specific tasks, were basically idle.
They told Qiao Wanyue to come find them in the compound after she finished her work.
Qiao Wanyue and Secretary Guo arrived at the largest department store in the county town.
Once inside, Qiao Wanyue didn't say anything, but just wandered around the grocery section a few times. The department store had a wide variety of goods, mostly pastries of all kinds, and there were no tasting services.
Because it was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the department store had put some mooncakes on the shelves, most of which were filled with five kinds of nuts. She took the tickets and money she had with her and bought one. She and Secretary Guo tasted it. It was too sweet and cloying, and Secretary Guo didn't like it very much.
"Wanyue, do you want to make pastries?"
Secretary Guo had roughly guessed what she was thinking.
Qiao Wanyue nodded, "Dried vegetables are not a long-term solution. Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner. I was thinking, could we launch a mooncake and create a mooncake that is unique to our Xiahe Village?"
Secretary Guo didn't quite understand. "What do you mean?"
In her previous life, Qiao Wanyue started her business in the food industry, selling everything from braised meats to pastries. Eventually, she opened a restaurant and created her own chain brand, making her one of the earliest people to build a brand.
"Secretary, if everyone thinks of Xiahe Village every time they eat mooncakes, wouldn't our reputation be established?"
Secretary Guo shook his head. "I'm afraid it won't be easy to do."
Qiao Wanyue: "Where there's a will, there's a way. Let's give it a try."
"Why mooncakes?" Secretary Guo asked, puzzled.
If you want to build a brand, then it's all about dried vegetables.
After all, they have experience, and it's not a field they've never worked in before.
Qiao Wanyue patiently explained, "The process of making dried vegetables is very simple and there is no room for maneuver. Mooncakes can be developed into pastries and are relatively easy to make. We can start from small workshops in the brigade and eventually build a factory to establish our own brand."
Secretary Guo looked around to make sure no one was nearby before whispering, "Your idea is dangerous."
This is definitely the thinking of a capitalist.
