Traveling through 70's wine

The two technicians came back on their bikes, and one of them said, "Director Huang, Sister Wen, the eleven-speed bikes shift more smoothly than the eight-speed ones, and are easier to ride."

Another technician said: "The eleven-speed bicycle is a little complicated to operate. It takes a certain period of adaptation to match the speed with the road. But it will be easier after you become proficient. It may be more interesting for young people."

All in all, the reviews of the new gear set are very positive.

Director Huang asked: "What do you think of the market prospects of the 11 transmission kit? Do you want to start production right away?"

The technician who spoke first said, “I don’t think it’s necessary to start production right now, after all, no other factory is producing eight-speed transmissions.”

Another technician also said: "The 11-speed gearbox can be used as a technical reserve. When someone copies our 8-speed gearbox, we will launch it and catch them off guard."

Wen Qing agreed.

At noon, Director Huang called He Weixing to have lunch with the technicians who had participated in the bicycle assembly in the morning. Wen Qing took out two bottles of white wine and two bottles of fruit wine from the suitcase and said, "I opened a winery. These are all home-brewed. You can try them."

We asked the cafeteria staff to bring a few cups and everyone started to taste the food.

Director Huang said with a smile: "Xiao Wen, you have good things but you don't even show them to me."

Wen Qing pretended to be angry and said, "Brother Huang, you are wronging me. Look, I just designed the eleven-speed transmission and sent it to you."

Technician A said: "I prefer the 42-degree one. It doesn't burn my throat when I drink it."

Technician B said: "The 53-degree version is still strong enough."

A female comrade said: "I think this fruit wine tastes good, like a drink, but with the mellow aroma of wine."

Director Huang said, "Xiao Wen, come to my house for dinner tonight. I'll invite Manager Luo from the food company, Manager Wang from the department store, and Director Fang from the county party committee cafeteria to come and advertise your wine."

Wen Qing hurriedly thanked him.

After returning to the office with Director Huang, Wen Qing took out two bags of tea produced in her own space and gave them to Director Huang. Director Huang took them without hesitation and said with a smile: "Hey, Xiao Wen, after drinking your tea last time, I can't get used to other teas anymore."

Wen Qing also smiled and said, "No problem, I will give you ten kilograms of tea every year in the future, you can drink as much as you want."

In the afternoon, Wen Qing took out two chickens, two rabbits and three fish from the space and sent them to Director Huang's home.

She rolled up her sleeves and prepared to help Huang's sister-in-law cook. Huang's sister-in-law said, "Xiao Wen, you're a guest. How can I let you do it? Go and have a rest." She pushed her out.

Wen Qing insisted on helping, and only when she saw that Mrs. Huang really didn't want her to do it did she leave the kitchen and drink tea and chat with Director Huang in the yard outside.

After six o'clock, the guests invited by Director Huang arrived, and Wen Qing took out three bottles of wine.

Director Huang introduced Wen Qing to everyone and said, "Xiao Wen, these leaders are all generous. Let's drink white wine today."

Wen Qing smiled and poured wine for everyone, saying, "Three brothers, this is the wine brewed by our own winery. Please taste it and give some opinions."

The three managers were all experts in wine. They all picked up their wine glasses and tasted the wine slowly.

Director Huang kept urging people to drink, and the atmosphere at the table gradually became lively. After a few rounds of drinking, Director Fang said, "Xiao Wen, your wine tastes sweet and has a clear color. It's really good."

Manager Luo also said: "The aroma of Quxiang cellar is more balanced and the fragrance is overflowing."

Manager Wang said: "This wine tastes better than any Daqu wine."

Wen Qing took the opportunity to propose the idea of ​​selling the wines in their store. The three of them saw that these wines did not require any planned indicators, were cheaper than those so-called famous wines, and had good packaging. In an age of material scarcity, how could there be any product that could not be sold?

So they all started to discuss the price with Wen Qing. Director Huang said, "Brothers, please make it reasonable. Don't let Wen Qing lose money."

Finally, the price was negotiated to 7 yuan per bottle, and Wen Qing agreed to give a certain amount of free wine to each store based on its annual sales and payment collection. The free wine could be freely selected from the varieties she produced and shipped separately.

The three of them were veterans and knew they couldn't take kickbacks openly, but giving away gifts was not against the rules, so they all agreed to try out a batch of goods first.

Each store first purchased 300 bottles, or 50 boxes of wine. After signing the contract, Wen Qing promised to send a telegram home immediately and have the wine delivered to their store in three days.

In fact, the wine is all in her space, and she will deliver it to them on time.

After eating and drinking, Wen Qing gave everyone two bottles of wine, and everyone left happily.

Wen Qing said goodbye to Director Huang and went to the hotel. She planned to stay here for a while.

Jiangnan is a wealthy place with strong purchasing power, so she wanted to go to the surrounding counties and cities to buy things.

The grains, fruits, chickens and rabbits in the space are piled up like mountains. The winemaking every quarter can consume 80,000 to 90,000 kilograms of grain, and the space can produce more than 100,000 kilograms of grain. In addition, she did not sell much grain this year, so she hopes to sell some while she has time.

The next day, she put on makeup and drove her pickup truck to nearby Yong'an County.

Yong'an County is only more than 3000 kilometers away from Ping'an County, a two-hour drive. When she was about to reach Yong'an, she folded the pickup truck, stuffed 1000 kilograms of rice and kilograms of flour onto the tricycle, and drove to the market.

Wen Qing rented a stall and put the rice and flour out. When you get close to the snow-white rice, you can smell the fragrance of rice. It is obviously new rice. This place is a grain-producing area. Seeing the outstanding quality of this rice, everyone bought it back to try it.

Wen Qing had just sold more than 200 kilograms of rice and more than 100 kilograms of flour when a fat man came over and bought up the remaining food at a price % lower.

Wen Qing knew that this was how the middlemen controlled the market, but she didn't say anything and sold all the remaining grain to him.

She had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she drove to Dushan County, 100 kilometers away, and found a hotel to stay in.

Dushan County is to the west of Ping'an and can be considered the western part of Jiangnan, but it is still much more prosperous than Luchun County where she went to work.

The hotel was near the bus station, and there were many people coming and going. The front desk was very busy and no one paid attention to the passing passengers. She rested for a while, put on her makeup, and left the hotel away from people.

Wen Qing went to the woods outside the city, pushed out her tricycle, and went to the night market to sell fruit. The night market was set up on both sides of the street, and vendors set up stalls under the street lights to sell things.

There were people selling snacks, clothes and shoes, daily necessities, and Wen Qing was selling fruits. She looked very ordinary among the crowd.

The apples and pears in the space were big and fragrant. Wen Qing only sold them for 5 cents a pound. Shoppers gathered around the tricycle and started to pick things. Wen Qing kept weighing them. After : in the evening, fewer people gathered around.

There were still 20 to 30 kilograms of apples and pears left in the cart. She sold the remaining fruits cheaply to a woman selling snacks nearby and rode her tricycle out of the city.

After reaching the woods, Wen Qing put the tricycle into the space and changed back into her original clothes.

When we got back to the hotel, the lady at the front desk said with concern: "Girl, be careful when you go out alone at night."

Wen Qing thanked her and said, "Sister, I just went to the street to eat. I didn't go far."

Returning to the room, she locked the door and entered the space again. It was another day of routine work.

Next, she went to Chun'an County, Fengcheng, Weiling and other places, and sold a total of 2.5 kilograms of grain, 1 kilograms of fruit, 500 bottles of liquor and 300 bottles of fruit wine, earning a total of 2 yuan.

After returning to Ping'an County, he delivered the wine to three units, received the payment, left his contact information, and gave ten kilograms of tea to Director Huang, then prepared to go home.

During this year, she did not receive any letters from the original owner's family. No one was surprised that she did not leave Yunnan, and no one offered to help her return to the city.

But she felt like a stranger in the original owner's home, and was somewhat out of tune with her grandparents, parents, and siblings, so she decided not to interact with them in the future.

Suddenly, Wen Qing felt sad. In the past two years at university, she felt that her life was going smoothly and there were no difficulties that she could not overcome. Now she bought a house, opened a winery, had knowledge, skills, military force, and of course space and the wealth in the space, but sometimes she still felt lonely.

Wen Qing shook her head, feeling that she was being pretentious.
