First victory
After choosing a relatively large store, Hu Yufeng and Qin Wenli walked in with professional smiles on their faces, "Hello, boss..."
The wealthy boss, who was about 40 years old, also put on a business smile and said, "Hello, hello, what would you like to order?"
"Hello, hello, we are from 'Yufeng Mahua' in Shangguan Town. Today we are here mainly to visit you..." Qin Wenli said with a very polite manner.
The boss narrowed his eyes slightly, then laughed and said, "Oh, I've heard a lot about you. Come and have a seat..."
Hu Yufeng looked around the shop inconspicuously, and seeing various bulk foods placed in a corner of the counter, she had an idea, so she followed the boss into the inner room and sat down.
After a few words of flattery, Qin Wenli opened the plastic bag and took out the prepared sample to show the boss:
"This is the fried dough twist our family produces. We have our traditional crispy fried dough twist, as well as our original honey-flavored soft fried dough twist, crispy fried dough twist, spicy fried dough twist... You can try it first."
Zhang Dafu smiled and tasted a spicy fried dough twist, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily. He then took the tightly packed soft twist and took a look, his eyes lit up: "Wow, your name is printed on this bag?"
"Yes, this is our brand. We use plastic packaging to ensure the unique taste of our fried dough twist..."
Zhang Dafu already had something in mind, so he couldn't help asking a few more questions. Qin Wenli was excited inside but remained calm as he answered them one by one. Emma, I'm not afraid of you asking, I'm just afraid that you will kick me out without even asking.
Both parties were interested, so they negotiated back and forth for nearly half an hour before signing the supply agreement.
Yes, Lao Qin’s has a special supply agreement. After the Zhao family drafted the agreement, Qin Wenli went home and frantically flipped through books to make a rough draft. He then asked a court staff member who was well versed in contract law to revise it. Finally, he finalized an agreement with detailed content and regular format, and made several copies by hand for backup.
After signing the agreement, both of them were in a good mood. Hu Yufeng took a sip of water and couldn't help but smile:
"To be honest, we have visited several towns and villages, and your business is the largest and has the most complete products. I can tell at a glance that you are a capable person..."
The boss laughed like a Maitreya Buddha, "No, no, it's just a small business, just enough to make a living..."
After taking a few more sips of water, the two said goodbye with a smile and drove to their next destination in a very good mood.
…
It’s Yangqiao again. With the attitude of "if possible it would be the best, if not just the next one", Qin Wenli and Hu Yufeng walked into the door of Liujia Supply and Marketing Cooperative with a smile.
Boss Liu was a little surprised when he saw the two people coming in against the light. After a little thought, he made up his mind, but he greeted them warmly with a smile on his face.
When Qin Wenli took out the packaged fried dough twist, Boss Liu was stunned. This efficiency was too fast. Isn't it a matter of giving and taking when doing business? How come it was bought so quickly? How can he bargain for it?
Qin Wenli continued to introduce with a smile: "Your suggestions that day were very timely. We have started to solve them that day. Can you help me see if there is anything missing?"
Boss Liu scratched his head and chuckled, "Young people are efficient. Oh, although we brought packaging, but..."
The two of them talked back and forth, with Hu Yufeng occasionally adding a few words, and finally Boss Liu waved his hand and signed!
…
Today is indeed a good day. Hu Yufeng, who signed two orders, is in a good mood. The more she looks at the three daughters-in-law at the market, the more she likes them.
I might as well just spend some money and buy some lean meat to celebrate in the afternoon. Compared to Xizi who almost jumped up and applauded, Huizi and Yang Xiu were much more reserved. Hu Yufeng knew that Yang Xiu was used to being frugal. Apart from Yang Xiu, she herself was also frugal in the past. But after the hardships of the past two years, especially Wenli's series of actions such as borrowing money to buy a car and custom-making her own bags, she gradually realized a truth: in life, you should save when you should save and spend when you should spend. We make money to live a better life, but life is not just about making money. Short-term rewards can lead to longer-term persistence.
Yang Xiu seemed to be lost in thought after hearing what her mother-in-law said. Huizi didn't understand for a moment, but that didn't stop her from keeping these words firmly in her heart.
While the three were packing up their stall, Hu Yufeng went to Lao Fang's store again.
"Sister, I haven't seen you for two episodes. Where have you been making money recently?" Lao Fang greeted with a smile.
"Hey, stop making fun of me. You don't even know how rich our family is. It's enough as long as we can survive. How can we talk about getting rich..." Hu Yufeng pretended to be troubled.
The two of them exchanged some business words, and Hu Yufeng asked casually, "Why haven't I seen your brother again?"
Lao Fang was puzzled: "That brother"
"And that Guizi, who is so sharp, you know what, she looks like an extraordinary person. I haven't seen her for a long time and I miss her so much..."
There’s no way Lao Fang would believe her. What the hell am I missing you for? If your eyes could spit fire, they would have burned two holes in Guizi. And you still miss me! He complained in his heart, but smiled and said, "Oh, she is busy with her business..."
"Are you still making snacks?"
"Yeah, you started your business with this, aren't you still doing it?" Lao Fang nodded without saying anything more.
Hu Yufeng knew when to stop, laughed a few more times, and then left with a smile.
Lao Fang looked at her back and couldn't help but chuckle. Maybe doing business is a training exercise. Two years ago, the old village women had all learned how to get information.
…
After returning home, Hu Yufeng first told Huizi to stay and eat dumplings before going back, and then she strolled out to see the reserved land of Xiafang.
If you want to build a house, you have to tear down the wall that encloses the courtyard. This courtyard wall was built by Qin Shengtian's grandfather when he fled back from the war. It is a very old building. Now the wall is covered with tall, thin grass that sways gently in the wind. She couldn't help but think of people insulting someone by saying "you're a fence-sitter". Oh, it was so vivid. Our ancestors were so wise. They could guess how their brains worked just by looking at this.
She had a faint smile on her face and was gazing at the courtyard wall with gentle eyes. This peaceful and quiet scene made Chen Xiulian, who came to find her, a little dazed, and then a little panic-stricken. It felt like the kite in her hand was gradually rising into the sky, and the sister-in-law in front of her was becoming more and more out of her reach.
Suppressing the strangeness in her heart, she couldn't help but break the quiet atmosphere loudly: "Her second aunt, are you busy?"
Hu Yufeng tilted her head slightly and saw that it was her. She smiled faintly and said, "I'm not busy. Sister-in-law, what's the matter with you coming here?"
Look, she has become more polite in her speech. Could she have laughed before? I was afraid that he would roll his eyes before she could even open her mouth, and then say angrily: "What are you doing? Why are you coming to us again!"
Not to mention, I actually miss that rude and aggressive sister-in-law.
"Didn't you say in the last episode that Yang Xu and his team were looking for people to maintain the highway? I came to ask if my Wen Qing and Liu Rong could be arranged to join them?" Speaking of her son, Chen Xiulian's old face unconsciously showed a hint of flattery.
"Both husband and wife are going?" Hu Yufeng was surprised. She really didn't expect Liu Rong to go too. Hey, she still underestimated him.
"Yeah, there hasn't been much work in the fields recently, so the couple went out to earn some money. The child is in school, and the family expenses are high..."
Listen to your nonsense. You blame everything on the child. Besides, aren't you the one who pays for the child's school tuition?
After mumbling a few words in her mind, she nodded: "Okay, I'll ask Yang Xu to give you some advice."
"Hey... then you must take this matter to heart. They are your own children and they are counting on you. Well, I'll go back first." Seeing that she agreed so readily, Chen Xiulian felt a little worried and quickly added a few more words.
"Okay, I'll call tonight. I'm cooking, would you like to save some for later?"
“No, no, I ate it before…” After getting the guarantee, Chen Xiulian walked out while talking.
…
When there are more young people in the family, the atmosphere becomes particularly lively. There was no need for the old lady and Hu Yufeng to help. The three of them chopped and rolled the dumplings and soon made two curtains of dumplings.
The old lady's place as the cooker had been taken by Huizi. She sat on the edge of the kang and looked at the three of them with a contented smile on her face.
"Mom, are the dumplings cooked?" Qin Yu ran in impatiently after finishing his homework. Seeing the dumplings floating in the boiling soup with their bellies bulging, Qin Yu couldn't help but shake Yang Xiu's arm.
"You can't wait even though our ancestors haven't eaten yet?" Yang Xiu glared at her. He took an empty bowl, scooped out a few dumplings and handed it to his daughter.
Qin Yu held the bowl respectfully and "sprinkled" it around the courtyard, greeting all the ancestors, and then quickly ran back. Sure enough, the two little guys were already lying on the stool, each holding a small bowl and blowing it.
Several side dishes had been placed on the table. Qin Shengtian sat at the table, staring at the plate in Qin Wenli's hand, and couldn't help swallowing. Although the food at home is getting better every year, when it comes to that bowl of steaming dumplings, it seems like I can never get enough of it. It is always full of enthusiasm and desire.
Bowl after bowl of dumplings were placed on the table. Qin Shengtian eagerly took a bowl and was about to put it in his mouth when the old woman stopped him, "Wait a minute, Wenli and the others haven't arrived yet and you're eating first. You're a starving ghost..."
Qin Shengtian could only suppress the impulse in his heart, turned the chopsticks stiffly, picked up a piece of food and chewed it "crunch", the sound was so loud that it seemed like he was venting his anger.
"What are you doing? Are you showing off your good teeth?" Hu Yufeng glanced at him, and Qin Shengtian immediately behaved himself and put down his chopsticks obediently like a primary school student waiting for praise.
Yang Xiu scooped the last pot of dumplings into a plate and called Huizi out to eat.
Huizi waved her hand, "I'll just stay in the kitchen."
Yang Xiu smiled and glanced at her: "Let's go, everyone is at the table. Look, Xizi has gone out. What are you afraid of if I accompany you?"
Sure enough, there were two empty seats at the table. Huizi was seated, and Yang Xiu also sat down. Seeing that no one at the table, especially Yang Xiu's father-in-law, had any reaction, Huizi breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that everyone was present, Hu Yufeng stood up and said, "Let me say a few words before the meal. Today's dumplings are to celebrate our family's opening of the Caiping and Yangqiao markets. Our success is inseparable from the efforts of everyone present, especially Xiu'er, Xizi and Huizi. Of course, this is just the beginning. After eating this dumpling meal, we must work hard and strive to take over the entire Yang County as soon as possible..."
“Good…” Xizi, with dumplings in his mouth, clapped his hands quickly, and several children also followed suit, clapping and cheering with smiles.
The other people at the table were not used to clapping, but they looked at Hu Yufeng with particularly warm eyes. Although it was already autumn, they felt their blood boiling.
