Chapter 103
The temperature in late March was stable and quite warm.
Qinyang City lies in the southeastern corner of Sanhe Province. It's Saturday, and bicycles are common on the streets, with the occasional truck passing through. Young men and women weave among the crowds. The women have dark pigtails, and the men wear black cloth shoes, their hair meticulously combed, looking energetic.
Just then, a noise came from the supply and marketing cooperative.
The sound of the gongs could not be ignored.
"It must have come from the supply and marketing cooperative."
"What are you knocking on?"
"What kind of activity is this?"
People are instinctively curious. During the communication, I found that there was the same confusion in the other person's eyes, so I took a step and walked towards the place where the sound came from.
There were several tables at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, with two male comrades and a female comrade sitting behind them. Lu Qin stood behind them and talked face to face with a female comrade.
"Director Liu, your supply and marketing cooperative is quite popular." Lu Qin looked at the people crowding towards him.
Before arriving, he'd looked into the city's supply and marketing cooperatives. Qinyang City alone had three supply and marketing cooperatives and two department stores. Two of these cooperatives, though ostensibly located within the city, were not managed at the city level, but rather under the management of the two counties within them. The department stores had been separated from the original market and had a long history of development.
With multiple options available, the supply and marketing cooperative that Director Liu is in charge of will inevitably be squeezed out.
Of course, this is assuming that all aspects of production can keep up, because Qinyang City has more than a dozen factories under its jurisdiction, and the products are transported to their supply and marketing cooperatives after distribution.
But the reality is, according to the current situation, it doesn’t matter whether there are many products or not, because as long as there is an overall supply and demand imbalance, they will not worry at all about not being able to sell products or that the supply and marketing cooperatives will not be able to operate.
Director Liu, the head of the supply and marketing cooperative, had a straight face and an air of righteousness. Her hair reached her ears. She was known for her strong character, which was why she agreed to let them take a look. After all, biscuits, canned milk, and other products from Shanghai were more popular than those from other places.
Hearing his evaluation, Director Liu's lips twitched slightly. "If you follow your approach, we can cooperate. We will then use your products."
"Okay, then let me thank our factory director first."
Director Liu, "You're welcome." She still needs to wait and see the results before deciding whether to use their products.
Lu Qin said this and stood back beside the table.
Director Ren is away on business, so he is now in charge of this department. If a secretary has many talents, he may be assigned to other tasks, just like him.
Lu Qin told them not to rush. He stood there with a smile on his face, carefully observing the crowd. It was mostly young women and older women, with a few men interspersed. This perfectly reflected the different groups' activities on Saturdays: compared to the men, the women were more willing to hang out. Noticing someone from the factory office among the crowd, he looked away.
"Brother Qian, Brother Sun, Sister Li, please put up the sign."
There were words on the red paper saying 'Free trial, first come first served'.
Lu Qin opened the box, took out their products, and prepared bamboo and wooden spoons and the like.
The crowd happened to see his movements back and forth.
"What?"
“Free tasting, is this true?”
The voice behind was undoubtedly that of a woman.
"Hey, you really are offering a free trial." The woman's eyes flashed across Lu Qin's face, thinking that this strange kid was quite good-looking.
Lu Qin's face was filled with a genuine smile. He clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. We are offering free samples of some of our products. Since there aren't many available, it's first come, first served."
His purpose is not to sell things.
Wow, who would be willing to pay for something that can be bought without paying?
But how can there be any advantage in this world? No one dares to take the first step due to hesitation.
A middle-aged woman met Lu Qin's gaze and pushed through the crowd, "Let me do it."
"Okay, I'll give you some advice. By the way, comrade, please sit here."
The other comrades from the factory office tried hard to pretend they didn't know her and made way for her.
Lesbians sit down and ask, "How to eat?"
"Let us introduce it to you first. This is a product made by our Laiyang County Laifu Food Factory in combination with three major factories. You can't find it anywhere else. Comrade, you are brave and lucky. We don't have any other requirements. We just hope you can give us some suggestions when you eat it. Do you think it's good? If you want to buy it, come to the supply and marketing cooperative behind us." Lu Qin opened his mouth and talked a lot.
Director Liu hadn't left yet, and she thought to herself that she hadn't agreed to cooperate at all.
After listening to what he said, the female comrade hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Lu Qin got to the point and patiently asked her opinion, "Do you prefer milk or canned food?"
The lesbian continued to hesitate, "Canned food."
"OK."
Everyone saw the young man digging out a piece of solid fruit flesh from an upside-down glass jar. The glass jar was transparent and beautiful. After tearing off the top layer of paper, he took out a piece of biscuit and placed it on a plate beside him.
This was the first time they had seen two things pulled out of one package.
"Try it."
"Yes, try it." The person standing in front could easily see the swaying fruit flesh.
Under their urging, the female comrade scooped a mouthful with the prepared spoon and put it in her mouth.
She chewed it twice and swallowed it, her brows gradually relaxing.
"How is it?" Lu Qin didn't even need to ask. The person in the front asked it.
The female comrade didn't answer and picked up the biscuit again. She must be a slow person, so she slowly put it in her mouth and swallowed it.
