Although his term "Comrade Qinghe" was a simple address, it contained recognition and closeness to Xu Qinghe's ability. It was free of commercial courtesy and had a touch of the purity of revolutionary friendship.
When the cloth of the basket was opened, a rich and tempting aroma instantly filled the air. Several plates of fermented bean curd lay quietly at the bottom of the basket, their rosy and attractive color. The thin layer of oil on the surface sparkled with an attractive luster under the sunlight.
Xu Qinghe's words were full of expectations. She hoped that this small attempt could bring more possibilities to their lives.
Qian Ming was deeply attracted by the fragrance, with surprise flashing in his eyes. His nose twitched unintentionally, like a child who had discovered a treasure, full of innocent joy.
His stomach responded in time, rumbling, as if reminding its owner that the delicious food was in front of him and should not be missed.
Xu Qinghe's plan is detailed and comprehensive, and every step reveals her sensitivity to the market and confidence in the product.
After hearing this, Qian Ming's eyes sparkled with excitement, which was a desire for the possibility of success and a boost in confidence.
Although he still had some doubts in his heart, he believed in Xu Qinghe's judgment. After all, past experience told him that Xu Qinghe could always bring him surprises.
As Qian Ming got on the slightly worn but reliable bicycle, his figure gradually disappeared into the distance, while Xu Qinghe walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative, his heart filled with anticipation and anxiety.
The moment she stepped into the supply and marketing cooperative, she felt as if she had entered a new battlefield, with the air filled with challenges and opportunities.
The fermented bean curds on the counter are arranged in an orderly manner. There are both exquisitely packaged ones to satisfy elegant tastes and affordable bulk ones so that ordinary people can also enjoy the delicious taste.
Sister Hong's smile is as warm as spring, and the tacit cooperation between Xu Qinghe and her makes the entire sales process full of harmony and efficiency.
Xu Qinghe's marketing strategy soon took effect. The surge of the crowd, the interweaving of curiosity and excitement, made the originally quiet supply and marketing cooperative extremely lively.
Those bulk fermented bean curds, as if endowed with magic, quickly disappeared from the counters, and the bottled ones were not far behind. The sales data was gratifying and exceeded everyone's expectations.
When the last group of customers asked, their faces full of disbelief and regret, Xu Qinghe realized that this was not only a successful sale, but also an accurate grasp of market demand.
The shortages of this era and people's yearning for a better life make her more convinced that as long as you have the will, nothing is impossible.
Everything today was just a small milestone on her entrepreneurial journey; the road ahead was sure to be even broader and more exciting. They thought they were as fast as wild horses, and after trying the samples provided by Qian Ming, they rushed to buy them at lightning speed, their hearts filled with eagerness. However, they never expected that even with such lightning speed, they would still be a step late and miss out!
Xu Qinghe's face blossomed into a perfect smile, as gentle and thoughtful as a spring breeze. She spoke softly, "Sister, I'm so sorry, the bulk fermented bean curd is sold out. But look, we also have exquisite glass bottles here. Although the price is a little higher, please listen to me, these glass bottles are reusable and environmentally friendly. Even if you choose not to recycle them, you can use them at home to store snacks or condiments. It's both beautiful and practical. Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing? Would you like to try it?"
The middle-aged woman was slightly taken aback by Xu Qinghe's genuine enthusiasm and attentiveness. She couldn't help but stare at her a few more times, wondering: When did our supply and marketing cooperative finally introduce such a lovable, clever young woman? In her impression, most salespeople were always arrogant, and customers had to endure those disdainful looks when they bought things from them. It was rare to find someone as kind and helpful as Xu Qinghe.
A long-lost feeling of respect arose spontaneously. Besides, what Xu Qinghe said made sense. The glass bottle was indeed both beautiful and practical.
A happy smile appeared on her lips, and she said to Xu Qinghe, "Little girl, you have such a sweet mouth. Give me two bottles of glass bottles!"
This scene was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples in the eyes of others, and everyone followed suit and joined the buying army.
During the shopping process, he also chatted with Xu Qinghe, curiously asking about her hometown, when she joined here, her marital status, etc. The atmosphere became very lively.
Xu Qinghe packed the goods skillfully and patiently answered various questions from the crowd. Soon, all the fermented bean curd in the counter had found new owners and was cleared out.
During this brief interaction, Xu Qinghe gradually learned about the stories behind these women.
It turns out that their husbands all work hard at construction sites. Although they have a stable income, due to years of physical labor, their taste buds tend to be heavy and they often feel tasteless in their mouths. Now that they occasionally come across such appetizing pickles, they naturally want to eat as much as possible to comfort their tired bodies and minds after hard work.
Xu Qinghe secretly praised Qian Ming in his heart. This move was really ingenious. He went directly into the workers' dormitory area to promote the product. No wonder it attracted such a hot business.
Not only did the goods in front of the window quickly sell out, but even the second batch that was urgently allocated was cleared out in an instant as customers rushed to buy them, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
From dawn to afternoon, Xu Qinghe was always busy and didn't even have time to eat.
Even after Sister Hong got off work and returned home for a big meal and then returned to her post, she still stayed on the front line without stopping.
"Oh, little girl, you're so honest! You don't even take a break when others are eating. Don't you think there's anyone here to watch over the store? Isn't the colleague on shift here?"
Sister Hong walked in with a lunch box, just as Xu Qinghe was seeing off a generous middle-aged woman with a beautiful smile. The latter bought five bottles at a time, claiming that she wanted to give a few bottles to her daughter who was married far away to try.
Xu Qinghe watched the guests leave with a smile on his face. He gently rubbed his cheeks, which had become a little stiff from smiling for so long, and answered seriously, "This is the promise I made to Director Zhang. I must do my best no matter what. Only in this way can our village's handicraft workshops continue to operate and our hometown develop faster."
After saying that, she took the lunch box from Sister Hong. The moment she opened the lid, the aroma of the stir-fried pork slices filled the air, deeply moving her. She suddenly hugged Sister Hong and said emotionally, "Sister Hong, you are simply my real sister. Not only did you bring me lunch, but you also fried such delicious meat. Woo woo woo..."
Sister Hong pushed her away, scolding her and laughing: "Look at what you're saying. We're not friends! Eat it while it's hot! The food is getting cold!"
Since the divorce, Sister Hong has regarded Xu Qinghe as her own sister in her heart. Seeing her sister working so hard, it is no big deal for her as her elder sister to send her a meal.
What's more, Xu Qinghe led her to earn a considerable profit.
