Qiao Wanyue nodded.
Since they decided to make exquisite gifts, the outer packaging is naturally an important part of it. However, their products haven't been sold yet, and if they rashly go to a cardboard box factory to order custom-made ones, they will definitely be seen as an oddball.
"How much do you plan to do initially?" Secretary Guo asked.
Qiao Wanyue looked at the raw materials in the bag, "One hundred portions, please."
Secretary Guo thought for a moment, "How about I find a few skillful women in the village and have them make a box in the style of our Xiahe Village using floral fabric, paper boxes, and paper cutting?"
Qiao Wanyue: "That's great."
No wonder he comes from a big city, he's got it all figured out.
The two of them reached an agreement without even asking the brigade leader for his consent.
As for the commune, Qiao Wanyue tacitly agreed that Secretary Guo would handle it.
And that was indeed the case. After the two finished shopping, Secretary Guo bought a box of pastries and went to the old leader's place. He frankly expressed his thoughts, and the old leader was also worried that they might make a mistake.
However, since it hasn't been done yet, he told them not to alarm others and to first establish their own channels. He supported anything that would benefit the people.
With the support of his former leader, Secretary Guo felt more confident.
They walked around until 2 p.m., and the two still hadn't eaten.
My stomach is already protesting.
Secretary Guo took her to a state-run restaurant, where they ordered two dishes and a soup. The two ate a few bites haphazardly before preparing to visit the remaining supply and marketing cooperatives.
There weren't many people at the state-run restaurant in the afternoon, only a few scattered individuals.
Qiao Wanyue ate a few mouthfuls of rice when Secretary Guo suddenly had a stomachache. He asked around and found out there was a public toilet about half a kilometer away. Secretary Guo clutched his stomach and went to the public toilet, leaving Qiao Wanyue alone.
Secretary Guo ordered one meat dish and one vegetable dish. Perhaps he was too hungry, because after a few bites he felt full.
I put down my chopsticks and looked at the menu on the wall, feeling bored.
State-run restaurants don't offer a wide variety of dishes, mostly consisting of common ingredients. Most dishes cost 50 cents or a dollar, with the most expensive costing two dollars. These are all affordable options, and there are also some braised dishes.
Qiao Wanyue had tried it before. The braised food from state-run restaurants had a certain smell, probably because they were stingy with the ingredients. It had a fishy smell. The key to delicious braised food was the initial process. If it wasn't handled well, the taste would be terrible.
"Girl, are you all alone?"
Qiao Wanyue rested her chin on her hand, her thoughts wandering. A greasy, large face appeared before her eyes, making her feel like she was going to vomit up the food she had just eaten.
Her tone was somewhat sharp, "What do you want?"
"I like you, I want to talk to you." The little vagabond's tone was nonsensical.
Qiao Wanyue became wary and stared at the man in front of her with a blank expression.
The man was wearing a leather jacket, his hair was long enough to cover his eyes, his face was greasy, he wore a pair of mismatched black glasses, his pants were trendy jeans in Hong Kong, and he wore a pair of sneakers that an average family couldn't afford with a year's savings.
The outfit of a petty thug.
The thug whistled, "Come with me, and I'll make sure you live the high life."
Qiao Wanyue frowned.
"Go to the hospital if you are sick."
The thug heard this.
He laughed.
This girl has quite a backbone.
He likes it.
"If you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll call the police immediately." Qiao Wanyue glared at him as he reached for her hand.
Gao Yan was delighted upon hearing this.
"Report it."
"Girl, what are you thinking? I just want to marry you. What's your name? Tomorrow I'll send someone to your house to propose marriage. We'll have a three-turn ring and a five-ring, and a dowry of fifty yuan. Will you marry me? My family has a house."
