Just after the Qingming Festival, Zhou Yan came back from a day of work and asked Xiao Yu to pack up his things.
"Going south?"
"Well, I specifically pushed for it. After much discussion, the higher-ups decided that Guangdong Province would be the most suitable place for the rice cooker factory. I'm going there as a technical advisor, but only for three months. You and I will be back to provide guidance to the instant noodle factory."
Xiao Yu blinked: "And me?"
"Yes!" Zhou Yan's eyes were filled with smiles. "Your instant noodles have left many old leaders wanting more. The 'marching rations' you made for grandpa were always snatched up by others whenever he went out on business. Xiao Liu told me that grandpa complained several times that he still couldn't get enough."
Xiao Yu touched his nose and said, "Well, we'll produce our own in the future. They'll definitely have enough to eat."
"That's impossible." Zhou Yan laughed. "Our instant noodles won't be sold internally for the time being. As for external sales, one pack of instant noodles can buy a lot of rice and flour. They won't be willing to part with it."
"How much is a pack?"
"That hasn't been confirmed yet, but it's definitely not cheap. Last time, Grandpa and some senior leaders went on a foreign trip. The leader of one country tried our instant noodles and praised the taste so much that he verbally agreed to buy 100,000 boxes."
Xiao Yu was stunned. The factory hasn't even been built yet, but business is already coming in?

"I took the initiative to apply to go to the south this time, mainly because of our previous plan. If we can collect a large amount of southern crops, we can go to neighboring countries this winter, and we should be able to exchange some food back." Zhou Yan stated his purpose.
Xiao Yu, however, found it difficult. If his memory served him correctly, as far as he knew, during this period, there were almost no countries around them that were not suffering from famine.
It seems that only some European and American countries can exchange for food.
But that was too far away. Most importantly, they had no money.
However, if they are far away from their home country, the power of their incense will be insufficient.
However, they finally got 50 million in incense offerings during this trip. If they could get some more in the southern cities, it wouldn't be impossible to go out and farm.

Because it was official business, Zhou Yan informed everyone that night and took Xiao Yu, the two children, Gangzi and Monkey on a train heading south early the next morning.
Gangzi was accompanying Zhou Yan as his assistant. After all, his two feasibility studies, as well as the rice cooker manufacturing and the engineering drawings for the instant noodle machine, had made him more than just an ordinary technician. He had leapfrogged to the rank of Level 7 Engineer. It was rumored that if he hadn't been a technician so recently, the factory director would have promoted him to Intermediate or Senior Engineer.
Although Gangzi was young, he was not only a veteran but also a high school student. As an assistant, he could also be used as a bodyguard, and others had no right to interfere.
The monkey is smart, clever and capable.
The new factory construction would definitely require a lot of temporary workers. Bringing him over would not only allow him to help Xiao Yu with his daily tasks, but he could also work as a temporary worker on the construction site and earn some money.
The monkey was so happy about this that the tree boy was so envious that he cried. Unfortunately, each person was limited in the number of people they could bring with them, even if they paid for it themselves.

In the late 1950s, the speed of trains was limited. The basic journey from Beijing to Guangdong Province took three days and three nights. Unless there were unexpected circumstances, the journey would be unpredictable.
Fortunately, their qualifications as engineers and a large factory in the capital allowed them to take sleeper berths, making the journey less painful.
With all the novels on his phone and tablet blocked, Xiao Yu had no choice but to practice with incense at night, sleep in the morning, and coax his children in the afternoon.
As for the others, Zhou Yan and he were in a similar situation. Gangzi and Monkey were the only ones left. They would read books and newspapers during the day when they were bored, sleep soundly at night, and get up early in the morning to help take care of the children.
The incident of human traffickers that one is bound to encounter when boarding the train in the novel did not happen.
On the third day, Xiao Yu carefully searched the sleeper berths and hard seats but didn't find any suspicious people. This made him very depressed.
"No? If there are no human traffickers, a few enemy spies will do." Xiao Yu muttered.
Someone who just came out of the sleeper compartment, holding a teacup, looked like a decent middle-aged man:...-_-||!
☆
The uncle glanced down the aisle and saw a young man dressed neatly and looking elegant, holding an equally clean and beautiful baby in his arms. He said with a smile, "Young man, what are you looking for?" Seeing your eager face, your eyes flashing with a thieving look, you look like you're looking for trouble. Even if there were enemy spies or human traffickers, they wouldn't dare to show up!
Xiao Yu held his eldest daughter in his arms, and they looked over when they heard the words. At that moment, the uncle just thought that this was some pampered high school student who was let out.
Xiao Yu's eyes swept over the uncle. There was a faint evil aura on the uncle. He must be a soldier or a public security officer.
"Hey, I'm just taking a walk." Be good when you meet a 'police officer'.
The eldest girl blinked: I'm very good!
The uncle glanced out the car window, otherwise he couldn't stand the gaze of this 'brother and sister': "You don't look like you're just walking around casually."
Xiao Yu touched his nose embarrassedly: "I, I just want to see if there are any bad guys."
The uncle was sweating profusely, and said kindly: "Not long ago, a major human trafficking case was solved on this line, and several suspected enemy spies were arrested by the way."
☆、
"Huh?" Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with visible disappointment when he heard this. It was obvious that human traffickers wouldn't go against the grain at a time like this.
The uncle looked at the emotion in Xiao Yu's eyes and couldn't help but laugh: "If you really meet him, can you handle it alone? Those who dare to do this are all extremely vicious."
