Chapter 77
The man who called him looked to be in his early forties, dressed in a neat grey outfit, with his hair neatly combed back. He was standing behind the table and continued to wave at him when he saw him stop there.
How could Lu Qin refuse? He put one hand on the camera on his chest and walked over. With a smile on his face, he pointed at the camera and explained, "Hello, comrade, I'm not a reporter."
When the man heard that he was not a reporter, he was stunned and the enthusiasm on his face disappeared a bit.
Seeing the young man still around, he walked forward and observed the situation calmly. "The canned food from your factory looks attractive, with lots of meat and little juice. It's very solid and looks delicious. I just smelled the sweet aroma from afar. Comrade, your factory's refining technology is quite good."
Perhaps to make it easier to observe, the cans used for display are not placed in cans, but instead in visible glass jars.
Lu Qin was indeed telling the truth. Although the preservation technology of current canned food and other foods is confidential, there are basically no additives, the taste is the most original, and it is safe to eat.
His series of actions instantly confused them.
There were only five people in charge of the cannery, and two of them were out on business. The one who called him was the one standing in the middle, but who wouldn't like to hear nice words?
"Thank you. Would you like to try it?" The man came to his senses and realized that he was the one who mistook the man for a reporter and called him over.
"Okay." Lu Qin didn't hesitate. He was already here, so he couldn't leave empty-handed.
He pulled the camera over to his right hand side and hung it. He saw that besides the one in the middle that was in a glass, there were four or five unopened bottles in a row. "Then I'll just pick one."
"You take it." The person who said this felt a little painful, after all, the things they took out were carefully selected by them.
"Thank you."
The young man had curled eyelashes, red lips, and white teeth. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing a pair of white wrists. When he got closer, his skin was so white that it seemed poreless, even more delicate than a girl's.
As the three of them sighed, the young man in front of them had already picked up the can.
Lu Qin recalled that he had been living in poverty since he traveled through time and space. "You even provide spoons. What great service!"
He praised everything about it.
It turned out that he had sharp eyes. The flesh was as delicious as he saw. The outer layer of juice had a sour and sweet taste. When you bite it, it was crisp and soft, and the original peach flavor came over you. It was as if you were in a ripe peach forest, with the fragrance of peaches everywhere.
Several people watched him scoop a spoonful into his mouth, his brows relaxed, and he slowly tasted and swallowed it.
After taking a bite, Lu Qin gave a thumbs up and said, "Delicious!!"
What I said is indeed from my heart.
Every inch of his expression proved his words, and the people around him found it pleasing to watch him eat. Many people also noticed this.
He also commented attentively, "Your cannery's craftsmanship is truly excellent! It preserves the original flavor while still producing a flavorful treat that's just right—not too sweet, not too greasy."
Their fur has been smoothed. The middle-aged man who is in charge of production technology, his eyes lit up, "It's really delicious!"
"It's really delicious. Which city in Jiangyang Province are you from?" He wanted to know where such delicious peaches were produced. While eating, curiosity was in his eyes.
The man waved his hand and gave a location. "We're not in a city, it's quite remote, but there are many mountains and rivers, and the fruits grown there are sweet."
Its location is exactly east and west of Laiyang County, which is a four or five hour drive away. It is very far away and is under the jurisdiction of another city.
"Your county has a good geographical location and is a place that produces a lot of fruit."
"You could say that, we have all kinds of fruits, such as peaches, oranges, wild melons." The man showed a proud look on his face. The fruits in other places in Jiangyang Province are not as sweet as theirs.
Lu Qin finished the can and carefully put it away without leaving it lying around. "Oh, so where can I buy some?"
The current underdeveloped transportation has a flaw. The delicacies in many places are not circulated. In addition, due to the fact that production cannot keep up, they are basically produced and consumed locally. It is difficult to transport the surplus to other places.
When the man heard that he wanted to buy it, he said, "It's currently sold in the county market nearby. We don't have it."
So if he wanted it, it would be difficult to get it unless he went on a business trip to their county or had a relative send it to him.
They didn’t know if it was an illusion, but they clearly saw the young comrade showing a look of regret.
"Well, we have a few spare cans here, do you want some?"
They always prepare enough food when they go out to avoid any accidents.
Lu Qin's eyes lit up at first, but he hesitated for a moment, "Then do you have enough left?"
"enough."
"Thank you very much, and I wish you all the best in the future."
After thanking him repeatedly, Lu Qin put the canned food in his bag and prepared to leave. It was still early, so he decided to take some photos.
The person not far away had already been ready to make a move, and suddenly raised his hand to call him over.
Lu Qin turned around and looked, only to realize that it was him he was being called. He thought someone had mistaken him for a reporter again.
"Hello comrade, what's wrong?"
"No, nothing, I just heard you speak highly of the can next door, do you want to try mine?"
The key is that he is pleasing to the eye when eating.
Lu Qin felt like he had entered Fuwowo. If he dared to invite him, he would dare to eat. But he reminded him, "I'm not a reporter."
"We all know, so we'll just treat you to a meal." The man smiled.
This shop sells rice candy, a popular puffed food these days.
Lu Qin sat down on the stool and the rice candy was brought to him. He nodded and said thank you.
There were only four pieces in a plate. Lu Qin picked up one and took a bite. It was crispy and sweet, with the aroma of sesame and crushed peanuts.
He gave a thumbs up without hesitation, "Delicious!"
The man who brought the rice cake lowered his voice and said, "Brother Liu, he eats it with such relish. I suddenly have confidence in our product."
Their voices were not low. Lu Qin: "..."
The male comrade saw him eating and looked at him expectantly. Then he couldn't help but speak up, "Comrade, please give us your comments." What he said just now in the next room was very good.
Cough cough cough, Lu Qin turned his head away.
So he was being treated as a tester, but it wasn't a bad feeling.
After realizing what was happening, he opened his mouth and said, "It's neatly cut, the taste is fragrant and delicious, and the aftertaste is endless. The aroma of crispy rice and sesame complement each other perfectly, and neither can be missing. This is the skill you have."
In the following time, he relied on this to try food all the way. When he saw the food, his hands reacted faster than his brain. He did not return to their Life Food Factory until he could not eat anymore.
Section Chief Zhao heard the commotion, took a look, and then looked away.
The female comrade had a good feeling about him and made way for him. “Comrade Lu, you’re back from taking pictures. Would you like to sit down for a while?”
Lu Qin smiled and nodded, but he refused to sit down because he was too full to hold it.
“It hasn’t started yet.”
The woman stared at the cookies in front of her. "No, the higher-ups are still working out the details."
"Then I'll stand and wait."
Lu Qin noticed from the corner of his eye that two people from the production and technical departments were chatting about business, and he selectively listened in. They were talking about product development and production volume.
When the time came to 2:30, the meeting finally began.
The first item on the agenda was the leader's encouraging speech, which lasted for twenty minutes. He then emphasized the need to work hard to increase production and then further increase production. He then awarded prizes to last year's advanced factories.
Real reporters were snapping photos below.
Lu Qin looked around and saw envious eyes coming from more than one factory. Their Laifu Food Factory was naturally one of them.
The second item on the agenda was for representatives from each factory to speak on stage. The content was not limited to introducing their own factories, supply volumes, and products, but also covered the workers' thoughts.
Speeches are given according to food categories.
Director Ren had already prepared the manuscript. It was the result of a month's careful work by the factory secretary, with assistance from the Propaganda Department.
Lu Qin took a glance and saw a lot of black notes on it.
The men from the production department placed the cookies on a plate, ready for their introduction to Director Ren. Seeing the food, Lu Qin felt the urge to stuff it in his mouth before commenting.
He looked away and asked Section Chief Zhao in a low voice, "Section Chief, do you need our help?"
Section Chief Zhao had already taken out his pen and was taking notes. "Just listen first, and don't forget to take pictures."
Then Lu Qin was no longer in a hurry.
In the following period, the first to go up were representatives from advanced factories.
Lu Qin listened to the content with interest.
"Hello everyone, I'm very happy to be able to attend today's meeting. We are from the First Soft Drink Factory, and we always insist on..."
Later in his speech, he took out a bottle of soda from their factory and said, "This is the pear-flavored soda we developed last year. It's very sweet, and we're going to be producing it in large quantities soon..."
Hearing him say it was sweet, Lu Qin wondered if it was really sweet. The image that flashed through his mind was canned yellow peaches.
After the representatives from the Soda Factory No. 1 left, the speeches of the representatives who came up later were almost the same.
When it came to the eleventh one, it was finally the turn of their Lai Fu Food Factory. Lu Qin bent down with his camera and followed them, ready to find a good position to take the photo. This search led him to the bottom of the podium.
Director Ren closed the manuscript. The conversation was similar to the previous one. He raised his camera and took a few pictures.
The camera made a sound, and Director Ren glanced over here and then looked away.
The topic has now turned to product introduction. "This is a new biscuit developed by our Life Food Factory. Through improvements in ingredients and packaging, it can extend the shelf life."
As he was about to tear open the package, he didn't know if it was because the new improved package was difficult to tear open or what, so he had no choice but to put down the microphone, and I reached out to tear it open.
Putting down the microphone means that the speech will be silent.
But a figure was faster than him. A slender hand reached out from the side, tore open the package in a few seconds, revealing the biscuits inside.
Director Ren had seen a lot of things. Seeing Lu Qin, he calmly reiterated, "Our cookies use the latest baking technology, resulting in an overall golden color..."
He silently signaled Lu Qin to put it down.
Lu Qin thought he would hand it over to him, but he got nothing.
He thought Director Ren wanted him to take it.
So the misunderstanding began.
Lu Qin blinked, and the figure that was hiding behind him stood up for a moment. This was to show him
So he stretched out both hands, with one palm facing the audience as a sunshade.
Just like, just like the way he had seen influencers display their products. So effortless.
“It’s crispy and has a salty taste…”
When he was collecting the biscuit, perhaps because he had been eating for the whole morning, his hands and mouth had formed inertia. Lu Qin took the biscuit and put it into his mouth. When it reached his mouth, it was too late for him to react.
“…”
He simply showed it to the end, click click
One day, people will step into the pit they dug.
The leaders sitting in the first three or four rows all fully understood how crispy this biscuit was.
Director Ren paused for a moment.
