The exhibition area closest to the west side is the food area.
As he walked along, Jiang Wanyue looked around and discovered that the material structure of domestic exports at that time was very simple.
Not to mention the fine-processing and high-tech products, there is no trace of them at all. The main products are light industrial products, ceramics, silk, papermaking, furniture, textiles... Slightly higher-end products are watches, bicycles, and metals. Then there are the grains, oils, local specialties, and traditional delicacies in the food area.
Next to their exhibition area is a candied fruit factory from another province. The booth was filled with all kinds of candied fruits, and on the other side they were selling rice dumplings.
For Chinese people, candied fruits and rice dumplings are both good things and their sales are generally very good, but will foreigners like these things?
We walked to their booth, and luckily we were not treated specially. It was basically the same size as other people's areas, about four or five square meters, and included a table, a display stand, and two chairs.
"It's 7:30 now, and there are still three hours until the opening ceremony. Come on, get busy."
Jiang Wanyue rolled up her sleeves and took out the things they brought one by one.
The first is a detachable shelf, which is a display cabinet made of woven bamboo. The joints are connected with traditional mortise and tenon technology, and it can be used once closed.
Use your own handicraft display cabinets instead of official cabinets, put them in, and put a bamboo handicraft and a can on each layer.
The table was covered with a bamboo rattan mat. Because the size was unknown, it was woven larger, and a little too long, so it was dragged and pressed down from the inside, and then fixed with nails. A slender high-waisted bamboo vase ornament was placed on the left. Jiang Wanyue picked up a bent dead branch from somewhere and inserted it in. Looking from the outside, the booth had a hint of ancient charm.
There were two chairs, also covered with rattan mats.
In addition, there are posters painted by Jiang Wanyue on the walls of the booth.
This is a Western painting. It shows a Western family having a dinner together. In addition to the common steak and pasta, there are also several cans on the table. The cans are open and the food inside is processed in detail. There is also a child holding a can in the painting. He is using a fork to take out the beef from the can and put it into his mouth, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
There is another poster next to this painting, which shows their products. There are three products in total: canned fish, canned soup, and canned beef.
The employees at the nearby candied fruit factory were stunned to see all the different varieties of food they were creating.
Their candied fruit factory simply puts all the products on display cabinets without even labeling the product names, which seems very casual.
With such a comparison, the difference becomes apparent.
The employee couldn't help but ask, "Which factory are you from?"
Zhao Xiangbei wiped his sweat and looked up and said, "We are a non-staple food processing factory in Hu Province."
"Hu Province, my aunt married to Hu Province and works in the provincial food factory." The employee immediately started chatting, "I remember the non-staple food processing factory is right next to the food factory, right?"
Zhao Xiangbei explained: "We are not a provincial processing plant, but a brigade under a commune in Lianhu County, Tanzhou City, under the province. It's called Xiaojing Non-staple Food Processing Plant?"
"What?" The man was shocked. "Are you a village-run factory?"
Zhao Xiangbei nodded.
The man's expression suddenly changed.
Aren’t only provincial-level units invited to participate in the Canton Fair? Why did a village-run factory come here?
Is the threshold for entering the Canton Fair so low now?
No wonder this factory has so many fancy things going on. This is probably because lazy people have more shit and piss, and poor students have more stationery.
No matter how outstanding you try, foreigners will look down on the rustic village-run factories.
Jiang Wanyue naturally had no idea what this person was thinking. Even if she knew, she wouldn't care given her personality.
After a lot of hard work, the booth was completely new before ten o'clock.
The five people looked at the fruits of their labor with satisfaction and smiled.
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "Then, let's ask the factory director to arrange some work for us."
After all, Xiang Lingxiao is the director of the Bamboo Weaving Factory and his rank is higher than hers, so she naturally cannot have the final say.
Xiang Lingxiao waved his hands quickly: "Director Jiang, please don't belittle me. I came here purely to gain experience. You should arrange the work. I think doing odd jobs is very suitable for me. For example, taking things from the warehouse, pouring water for customers, etc., I am best at it."
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "Xiangbei, before we get any orders, you can help Director Xiang with his chores. Lin Jin, Xiaoling, you two can speak English, so you can go over there and attract customers."
Their booth is at the innermost part of the west side, about thirty meters away from the main road. They have to pass by about twenty booths in between. There are not many people coming here to begin with, and with this diversion, it is estimated that the flow of people will not exceed one hundred all day long.
Then, she would have to arrange for someone to take the initiative and bring those people over.
A few people were talking when it was half past ten and a loud noise was heard in the exhibition hall, indicating the beginning of the opening ceremony.
First, the host said some official words, then some guests spoke, and then there was a performance, a dragon and lion dance.
After half an hour of excitement, the door finally opened at eleven o'clock.
“A lot of foreigners came in.”
"There are so many people here, Xiaoling, let's go over there quickly."
Lin Jin and Ying Xiaoling each held a bamboo tray with three small plates on it, offering free tastings to the guests.
Jiang Wanyue started making tea at the booth.
She specially brought four kettles with her. She boiled hot water at the guesthouse early in the morning, filled them with water, and carried them over.
