Yu Sui took out a piece of homemade candy and placed it on the table. "Let's talk about that later. Take a look at this first. What do you think?"
At this moment, the candies have been packaged. In order to make them look better, Yu Sui specially bought cellophane from the space and wrapped them together with red paper.
Under the oil lamp, the cellophane shimmered, and against the bright red inside, it looked very festive and elegant.
Zhang Caifeng: "Sugar?"
Yu Sui: "Of course it's candy. I'm asking you, do you think this candy is high-quality?"
"High-end! This kind of thing must be from Shanghai, right? Or did your man bring it back?"
Yu Sui didn't answer. She peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy into Zhang Caifeng's mouth: "Just tell me if it tastes good or not. It's up to you whether you've ever had it."
Zhang Caifeng took a bite and couldn't bear to eat more. She put it in her mouth and smacked her lips: "It's delicious. I've never eaten it before. I'll eat it slowly."
"If someone were to give this kind of candy as a gift at a wedding, would you consider it worthwhile?"
"What are you talking about? Such high-end candy, not everyone has it. Why, you're giving out such good candy to everyone at your wedding?"
Yu Sui nodded: "Yeah. I'll use this."
"Oh, this is really high-end, too high-end. After all, she's marrying the company commander. How much is a pound of this candy?"
"Two."
"...It's not bad. After all, it's delicious, and the packaging is so beautiful. It makes me look good when I take it out, and it smells good."
"If you want it, I'll sell it to you for one dollar a pound. I can still make money if I sell it to you for one dollar a pound."
"ah?"
Taking advantage of Zhang Caifeng's surprise, Yu Sui held the candy wrapper and chatted:
"Look, this candy bar is made of wheat, white sugar, and maltose. Our production team has all these ingredients. We just need to make it, and the cost of making a pound of it is only a few cents, and including labor, it won't exceed 50 cents. Of course, if we sell it, we have to pay for the supply and marketing staff's travel expenses, packaging costs, appropriate advertising costs, and the red envelope fee paid to the team. But even so, we can still make a profit of 80 to 1 yuan per pound. How about it?"
Zhang Caifeng finally came to her senses. "Oh my God, you made this? How could you make such beautiful candies? It must have been made in a big factory."
Yu Sui smiled calmly:
"Yes, this is just a trial. The good-looking part is the packaging, just like people, when they wear nice clothes they look classy. But you see, even the most classy packaging is just paper, and the cost is not much. Anyway, this is a product suitable for setting up a factory."
If we want to set up a factory, we'll need to buy a lot of tools, expand our product range, and we'll need the brigade to help us get approval for the source of granulated sugar. Of course, if we open a factory to do this, we'll need to report to some higher-ups, and you'll have to find out. What for?"
Zhang Caifeng grabbed Yu Sui's arm, her eyes shining:
"Come on! It's so delicious and looks so good, Yu Sui, let's do it! We have to give it a try, right? If we don't try it now, we'll all be starving in winter. You don't know what's happened to the wheat, the wheat is all shriveled, and the cotton is all rotten!"
I asked everyone to help with the cotton harvest, but everyone was too lazy to do anything. They said no matter how hard they tried, the bolls were rotten inside and couldn't be sold for a good price. So, I had to get the collective factory up and running quickly. At least before winter comes, I can give everyone hope, make them believe that we'll have a good winter!
Yu Sui was moved by Zhang Caifeng's sense of responsibility.
At first, she was attracted by Zhang Caifeng's simple sentiment of caring for the female body.
Yu Sui nodded and immediately began to teach her:
"If you're willing to do it, I'll help you. I'll first give you a rough outline of how we're going to run this factory. How much investment, the projected output, how to market it, how to manage it, and finally how to pay everyone. I'll tell you everything, and then you can go talk to the brigade secretary."
The secretary will definitely not agree to your proposal at first. The first bird to stick its head out gets hammered. Our commune hasn't even had a production team set up its own factory yet. If you're the first to do so, won't that just cause more trouble? So you have to be mentally prepared for criticism.
Don't think that if you open a factory for everyone, everyone will support you. That's not true. Opening a factory is risky. You might lose all the money your production team earns, and then there will be people who oppose you. So you have to consider all possible situations and make sure that no matter how others refute you, you can convince them. Do you understand?"
Zhang Caifeng nodded vigorously: "I understand! Don't worry, Yu Sui, my father used to be a blacksmith. I've known since I was a child that if something wants to be perfect, it must go through a thousand hammerings and refinements! I understand this!"
Yu Sui was very appreciative: “That’s exactly what I meant!”
The two women talked for most of the night. Zhang Caifeng carefully wrote down everything Yu Sui said, and then Yu Sui went home.
It was a long way from Zhang Caifeng's home to Yu Sui's. People in the countryside went to bed early, and most of the houses had turned off the lights. Zhang Caifeng didn't want Yu Sui to go alone, so she asked her husband Yu Gang to go with her to send her back.
As soon as I walked out the door, I heard faint crying in the quiet night.
Zhang Caifeng was so frightened that she trembled first: "What's that sound?"
Her husband, Yu Gang, went out to look around and pointed at the village entrance and said, "Over there, what seems to be burning?"
Zhang Caifeng stretched her head to listen for a while, then tiptoed closer to take a closer look. She came back and whispered to Yu Sui, "It sounds like Yu Qiu, crying for her mother. I guess she's burning paper money for her mother! Oh, how pitiful! Let's go quickly."
Yu Sui: “…”
Haha, pitiful? Maybe he feels guilty, right?
Yu Sui said nothing as she followed Zhang Caifeng and her husband back to their home. She said goodbye to Zhang Caifeng, "Sixth Aunt, you guys should go back soon. I'm home now, don't worry."
"Okay, then go to bed early. I'm going to see the brigade secretary early tomorrow morning."
But Yu Sui didn't go into the house at all. She waited for Zhang Caifeng and her husband to leave, and then she followed them back quietly.
The night is dark.
Basically, you can't see the person coming from the opposite direction from two meters away.
Yu Sui watched Zhang Caifeng and his wife enter their home. She walked past their house and headed towards the village entrance.
Yu Qiu was gone, leaving only a pile of unburned things, dark red ashes with occasional sparks floating up, which looked particularly lonely in the night.
Yu Sui looked through the ashes and saw that the burnt things did not seem to be entirely paper, but rather some clothes and miscellaneous items, which made her feel something in her mind.
Taking advantage of the night, Yu Sui slipped into the space and bought a flashlight. When she came out and shone it on the ground, she saw that there were still a few pieces of clothes that had not been burned.
People are poor these days. Luo Suying had a sudden accident, not died of illness. If these clothes were given to people, most people would not mind, because poverty would limit people's imagination of things like bad luck. Isn't it good to have clothes to wear? Why burn them?
So, Yu Qiuba is guilty and afraid of things, right?
