Peach who wants to earn foreign exchange
The five drivers were Guo Chao, Wang Qiang, Yu Changhai, Wang Lei, and Chen Jianping, and all of them could drink alcohol.
They will stay here for three to five days. Sun Ming has arranged for them to brew for three years, which is white liquor made from sugarcane residue, a waste product of sugar extraction.
The alcohol content was quite high; after a few drinks, several people became dizzy and lightheaded.
The sugar factory has a good banquet, so they also want to show off their own strengths. It's only in the same industry that people have this competitive spirit.
Yu Changhai was the most talkative, not hesitating to talk about ordinary granulated sugar, brown sugar, and fruit candy, but he spoke of liqueur-filled candy with great arrogance.
"You...you guys have never tasted it before. That candy has chocolate on the outside, you know? And inside it's rum. We export it all to foreign countries. Our factory earns foreign exchange for the country."
Alcohol clouded her brain, and she burst into tears right after bragging, clinging to Wu Dong's hand and refusing to let go: "Brother, you don't know, we didn't even get to eat a single bite of that candy ourselves, it was too expensive! We couldn't even afford the defective ones! And what is that chocolate anyway? How can it cost so much? Waaaaah..."
He was really crying, his hands tightly gripping Wu Dong's two hands, forming a bowl shape, catching every drop of his snot and tears.
Wu Dong also jumped up like a rocket with a "whoosh," and shouted angrily, "What the hell are you doing!"
After saying that, he was stunned.
Chen Jianping, who had the best alcohol tolerance and was still sober, originally wanted to stop Yu Changhai from making a fool of himself, but upon hearing this, he also burst into laughter.
He knew that people from other places would start to imitate their local dialect after just a few words.
At first, he thought they were mocking him when they saw the sports car, but later he realized that they seemed to be unable to control themselves either.
After finishing their meal, Chen Jianping and Wang Lei, who were still able to walk a few steps, and Wang Qiang helped the other two who were groaning and crying, to the dormitory arranged by the sugar factory.
There were five rooms in total, and they were all kept incredibly clean and tidy.
When only his own people were left, Chen Jianping sighed, "It's good to travel to places with money. Look at that table of food just now."
He smacked his lips, still savoring the memory.
Then he asked Wang Qiang, "Qiangzi, there are still two more trips to go. You don't like the food here. Will you come again next time?"
Wang Qiang was the driver who, after tasting the food and not liking it, devoted himself to mastering the cuisine of Heilongjiang Province.
"Why not come? Even in Heilongjiang Province, you can't eat three big meat dishes in one meal. You know what, the taste is really good, I don't know how, it's pretty authentic, almost the same as what my mom and my wife cook."
Of course, this is not the main reason. Heilongjiang Province and Shenxian County, where the sugar factory is located, are far apart in the south and north, and the various things are very different.
Ordinary items from both sides can be sold for a high price in a different location.
Their drivers are so arrogant, ranking first among the eight most sought-after positions, all thanks to this extra income.
The plan to stay an extra three to five days was mainly to move some things around; resting was just a side thing.
Tomorrow they will use the excuse of visiting the place to take the things they secretly hid in the car and sell them.
If you have experience, even if you've never been here before, the black market is easy to find.
The news about the liqueur candies that Wang Shuitao learned was something Jiang Manyun had overheard at the dinner table and told her about it as an interesting anecdote.
They immediately came to find Meng Songying.
Of course, it was inevitable that Jiang Manyun would be infected with the Heilongjiang accent and then pass it on to her.
She worked so hard to help the factory develop, mainly for the sake of getting a promotion.
The sugar factory was under the Sugar, Tobacco and Alcohol Company, and she also wanted to be promoted to the company.
After all, after the reform and opening up, the sugar factories in the county were likely destined to be converted from state-owned to private enterprises.
Wang Shuitao also knew that sugar and cigarettes would be separated; she had seen this in a post where someone complained about their parents' generation missing out on the benefits of their generation.
One netizen's father worked at this company and resolutely chose the sugar factory when the tobacco and sugar company split up.
Soon they couldn't pay salaries anymore, and the company went bankrupt in less than two years.
Those who couldn't find connections and could only stay in the cigarette factory became employees of the tobacco company, each earning a high salary.
Wang Shuitao has been in this era for quite some time now, and she thinks about her sister-in-law Sun Miao every day.
To help Sun Miao get back on her feet, the only thing she could think of was finding her a job so that Sun Miao could become a professional woman.
But her household registration is still in the neighboring county. As for her current job, let alone whether she can pass the exam, 99.99% of the time it is restricted by household registration, or even by factory registration.
Then she had no choice but to buy it. Wang Shuitao carefully counted her savings after working for five months—50, and then inquired about the price of a job here—500.
So, they had no choice but to give up, with regret.
Moreover, since she knew what would happen next, she absolutely could not just buy a job that would inevitably lead to her unemployment to appease Sun Miao.
Wang Shuitao wasn't stupid; she could sense Sun Miao's admiration and respect.
Although the identities are somewhat reversed, it doesn't matter, her brother is the same way.
Perhaps this is what they call a couple looking alike.
Forget about bringing such a cowardly and blindly filial person along to do business and make big money after the market opens up.
We don't even know who we're working so hard to earn this money for.
At least she'll still get her fixed salary next month, and once she realizes the situation, she can cut her losses immediately.
So Wang Shuitao wanted to get promoted to the company, and then go to the cigarette factory, where she would transfer her job to her sister-in-law to repay this debt of gratitude.
She herself went out to make her way in the world.
Looking at Taozi's bright eyes, even when she was lost in thought, Meng Songying unconsciously imitated her speech:
"How do you know I forgot? I remember it very clearly."
"Really?"
Wang Shuitao immediately ran happily to Meng Songying's desk, which startled Meng Songying so much that she quickly closed the drawer tightly.
Although Peach definitely couldn't see the innermost box, he felt a little guilty.
I just chewed up a peach or something.
Now it was Wang Shuitao's turn to tilt her head like him, the fine downy hairs on her face shining golden in the sunlight.
Meng Songying couldn't help but clench her fist, suppressing the urge to touch it.
"chocolate."
He tried to distract Taozi from peeking on tiptoe.
By the way, I reminded Peach that the raw material issue he mentioned last time hadn't been resolved yet. He had a fairly good memory and remembered that the liqueur candies from Heilongjiang Province also had chocolate shells.
After Wang Shuitao almost described the taste of the liqueur-filled candy in detail last time, she became much more cautious, but she didn't give up on the idea.
I've been trying to find out if anyone is still making this candy.
Sure enough, she found it and told Meng Songying everything.
"I heard that Luzhou's liquor-filled candies are made with starch and sugar coatings."
When it came to work, Meng Songying wasn't going to coax Taozi. She looked very serious, her lips pressed tightly together, a sign that she was deep in thought.
He then said, "But Luzhou's products are not exported."
He could guess that Taozi mainly wanted to earn foreign exchange.
Wang Shuitao stopped pursing her lips and instead used her upper and lower teeth to bite and grind her lower lip, tearing off a bit of dead skin and swallowing it.
She's had this bad habit for a long time; she developed it during her senior year of high school, and as the countdown drew closer, the problem became more and more serious.
Although a little bit of it remained after the college entrance examination, it only flared up when I was deep in thought.
She asked, "Do you think foreigners would eat rainbow candies or those fancy candies?"
Wang Shuitao doesn't know much about foreigners; she's never been abroad, let alone foreigners in this era.
The stereotype about them is that none of them respect China, which makes it difficult for them to sell their products.
Just like she wouldn't buy Indian snacks, fearing that the raw materials might contain Ganges water.
Meng Songying frowned as she looked at Taozi's lower lip, which had changed from pink to crimson. She reached out and pinched Taozi's chin, and while Taozi opened her mouth slightly in surprise, she rescued her suffering lower lip.
He quickly withdrew his hand and said, "We can work together; foreigners are people too."
Wang Shuitao raised an eyebrow, looking at Meng Songying, who was sitting upright with her forearms obediently folded on the table like a primary school student.
It's like nothing happened.
Tsk, what a show-off. Does he even realize he's talking more?
With lightning speed, she pinched the earlobe in front of her, which was so red it looked like it was about to bleed, and exclaimed in a fake surprise, "Ouch! It's so hot!"
