Song Li considered several industries, and finally found that no matter which industry she was in, it seemed impossible to do it alone.

So she decided to find a reliable partner.

Looking around, among her meager interpersonal relationships, it seems that only Huang Lili is relatively reliable.

Song Li planned to go find Huang Lili to test her attitude and listen to her opinion.

Song Li did what he said and went to find Huang Lili the next morning.

Seeing Song Li coming, Huang Lili came up to her with a smile, "Little Sister Song, you are here, come in quickly."

Song Li followed Huang Lili into the yard.

Huang Lili's family also lives in a separate small courtyard, which is much larger than Song Li's. The house has a layout of one bedroom and one living room, and the house is very tidy and clean.

There is a small flower bed in the front yard with flowers planted in it. It is now in bloom, and when the breeze blows, the whole yard is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Song Li's attention was instantly attracted to the small flower garden. She walked towards it and circled around it. She found that the most common flowers in the garden were roses, the dark purple ones. She recognized this kind of rose. She had seen it when she came to the northwest. It was called bitter water rose, a local specialty.

"Sister-in-law, you also planted bitter water roses." Song Li turned and asked Huang Lili.

Huang Lili glanced at Song Li in surprise, "Little sister Song also knows about bitter water roses?"

Song Li nodded. "I've heard from others that there is a specialty in the northwest called bitter water rose. It is dark purple in color and can be used to make tea, rose cakes, rose jam, and rose water."

Huang Lili looked at the roses in the flowerbed with suspicion and asked in a puzzled tone, "Can it really be drunk in water or cooked?"

She had been in the Northwest for eight years, and this was the first time she heard that roses could be used to soak in water for drinking and to make cakes.

She grows roses simply for beauty.

Song Li frowned, "Sister-in-law, haven't you heard of it before?" She remembered that the bitter water rose in the northwest was quite famous. Could it be that it hasn't developed yet?

It's not impossible.

After all, it was the 1980s, and the private economy had not yet been officially opened up.

Huang Lili shook her head. "No, this is the first time I heard that roses can be used to make drinks and food."

A bold idea suddenly came to Song Li's mind.

We are going to do business anyway, so why not consider developing local industries?

"Sister-in-law, does anyone in the area grow this kind of rose in large quantities?"

Huang Lili shook her head slightly, "Some people grow roses at home, but I don't think there are many of them." These days, farmers regard land as their lifeblood. They think the land is not enough for growing food, so who would have the brains to grow such useless flowers?

But Huang Lili knew that Song Li would not ask such a question for no reason.

She asked, "Sister Song, is there something wrong with you?"

Song Li pondered for a while, then looked at Huang Lili seriously, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to find something to do." After a pause, she said, "I want to develop the bitter water roses in the northwest. I want to process them into products and sell the specialties of the northwest all over the country. What do you think of this idea?"

Huang Lili opened her mouth slightly and looked at Song Li with a complicated expression.

Sister Song Li has quite ambitious goals.

However, this unrealistic idea is just something you should just think about.

But she didn't want to discourage Song Li's ambition, so she confirmed again, "Sister Song, you are not joking with your sister-in-law, you are serious?" She didn't know if it was because she was old, but sometimes she really couldn't keep up with Sister Song's train of thought.

Why do you want to develop local specialties when you are just looking at flowers? The key is still the rose specialty!

Young people really want to do whatever they want!

Song Li said in a serious tone, "Sister-in-law, I'm not joking. I'm serious. I want to make rose tea, rose cakes, rose jam, and rose water from the bitter water rose."

Song Li felt more and more that her idea was reliable. Bitter Water Rose was a local specialty. If she developed the Bitter Water Rose, not only would she have something to do, but she would also be able to boost the local economy. It was the best of both worlds, so why not do it?

Her original intention of doing business was inspired by Song Zhi, the reborn girl, and she wanted to find something to do for herself.

Since you have to find something to do, why not do something meaningful.

Furthermore, the idea of ​​Bitter Water Rose should not be within Song Zhi's consideration.

There is no competition and the investment is not very large, so Song Li wants to give it a try.

Huang Lili, however, found it unreliable.

Not to mention that she had never heard that this kind of rose can be made into tea and eaten. Even if this kind of rose is really edible, how to make it? Does Xiao Song know how to make it?

She asked the question in her heart, "Xiaosong sister, can you make scented tea and cakes?" Without skills, everything is in vain!

Song Li: “…” That’s a good question. She really can make scented tea and pastries.

Two years ago, she accompanied Song Jingcheng to the northwest to visit a local specialty exhibition. During the visit, she visited the local factory that produced scented tea and rose jam, and learned a little about the production of scented tea and rose jam.

As for rose-shaped pastries, she also knows how to make them. When she was traveling in the northwest, she once stayed at a villager's home and saw them making pastries with her own eyes. She was also invited to make them with them.

Although her food doesn't look good, it tastes good.

She has always had a good memory and she still remembers the steps of making rose cakes.

As long as the ingredients are in place, she can definitely direct others to make it.

"Sister-in-law, I can make both rose tea and rose cake."

Huang Lili was stunned, "You really can?" If that's the case, it's not impossible to consider opening a rose factory.

Song Li nodded affirmatively, "Let's use the roses in your flower garden to make some first. You can see the results first. If you think it's good, we can talk about the next thing. Sister-in-law, do you think it's good?"

Hearing that Song Li had skills, Huang Lili was somewhat tempted.

If Song Li can really promote the local specialties, it will be a good thing for the local people, the troops, and the families of the family courtyard.

"Okay, Xiao Song, you go first. If you can really make scented tea and cakes, and you want to open a factory, sister-in-law will help you find the leader to apply for it." Huang Lili bit her lip and decided to take a gamble.

Song Li was confused. "Go to the leader to apply for opening a factory?"

She currently has no plans to open a factory, and even if she wants to, she doesn't have the funds.

Furthermore, even if she wanted to open a factory, why would she need to apply to her leader?

Does it mean that military wives need the permission of their leaders to do business?

Although Song Li is a military wife, she still doesn't understand the army's rules and regulations.

Huang Lili glanced at Song Li and said, "If you want to open a factory, you have to ask your leader for a site. Or do you want to find a site outside to build a factory?"

Without waiting for Song Li to answer, Huang Lili rejected it first, "Little Sister Song, I think if you want to build a factory, it's better to build it here in the army. The army has a lot of vacant land, which is useless if left unused. It's better to apply for it and use it for us to build a factory."

The corners of Song Li's mouth twitched violently, and she thought, Huang Lili is worthy of being a leader, she really thinks far ahead.

"Sister-in-law, you're thinking too far ahead. We're still a long way from opening a factory, so there's no need to think about this issue right now."

She had just proposed making scented tea and rose cakes, but now she was even considering setting up a factory.

Dare to think more than her!
