Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

The three designers, each with their own style, were all educated youth from the Huaiyin Brigade and were discovered by the brigade. Director An could only secretly admire the good vision of Tan Yuan, a seemingly young female comrade.

Of course, the one with better vision has to be the brigade cadres of Huaiyin Brigade. How could they discover such a talent? Couldn't they just focus on farming?

The tofu factory had a heavy production task, and Lin Guoan was busy managing production in the brigade. He had no idea that there was a factory director in the county who silently admired him.

"Xiao Tan, you know our factory makes sauces. Can you tell me what style is appropriate?"

Director An was in charge of production and factory management, but when it came to making these colorful things, he had to admit that the young man in front of him was more capable.

"Then let's go with the traditional Chinese style. Our factory's douban is packaged in kraft paper, and we'll print directly on the kraft paper when the time comes."

A vague idea suddenly came to Tan Yuan's mind, but the time was not right yet, and it would not be too late to talk about it when the time was right.

"Okay, okay, when the painting is finished, just send it directly to the factory, or should I go to your team to pick it up?"

As soon as he finished the first half of the sentence, he felt that since he was asking someone to do something for him, it was not appropriate to ask them to send it to him. It would be better to go and get it himself.

"No need, Director An. I'll have the artist come directly to the sauce factory to find you. You can tell him directly if you have any ideas or requirements, and he will design it based on your ideas."

"Can this still happen?"

Can a packaging design be based on his ideas? Can he say he has no ideas at all?

The sauce factory's packaging is now simple and clear, just a piece of yellow kraft paper with the name of the sauce written on it, tied with a rope. All sauces are like this, and everyone is used to it.

So when I saw a Mid-Autumn Festival gift box from a tofu factory with so many colorful packaging, I thought it was unique, beautiful and eye-catching, and I went to see the name of the factory specifically.

Director An thought that what Tan Yuan did made sense, and perhaps the sauce factory could increase sales by changing its packaging.

By increasing sales, we can make more money. Only after making money can we build houses, solve the accommodation problem for factory employees, and provide benefits to factory employees.

It doesn’t matter that I don’t have any ideas about this. There are so many people in the factory, it’s impossible that no one has any ideas.

After agreeing on a time, Director An left with a smile on his face.

Their conversation took place in public, and many people saw and heard it, but no one came up to talk to them. Although they agreed to participate in organizing this "trade fair", it was mainly to give the Education Bureau some face. They all thought that at most they could just transfer someone from the factory to watch over it. As for selling the goods?

Don't be ridiculous! The products produced by their factory are directly supplied to other units and supply and marketing cooperatives. If they need them, wouldn't they just go to the supply and marketing cooperative with a ticket to buy them? Why would they come to this "trade fair"?

Young people are too young after all. They are impatient when doing things. They are smart, but they just need a few more years of patience.

As for what Tan Yuan said about naming their own products, these people didn't take it seriously. They were not a big factory, so what was the point of naming them?

On the contrary, the two directors of the fertilizer plant and the steel plant who did not participate in this event were more interested in Tan Yuan's idea. However, there was really no need for their products to go to the trade fair, so they could only remain interested in this matter.

The first thing Tan Yuan did after returning to Huaiyin Brigade was to find a group of three painters. She asked the one who painted Chinese paintings to go to the county sauce factory to find Director An. As for the other two, they had to stay and serve her family.

If they are holding a trade fair, then as the initiator of this event, it wouldn't be too much for their tofu factory to ask for a good location to display their team's products, right?

Now that you have a good location, it will be no problem to decorate it well.

"This time I have only one request: to make our booth eye-catching! Our booth must be the first thing people see when they come to the trade fair. It must leave a deep impression on them."

In the 1970s, the colors on the entire street were very simple, mostly black, blue and gray. Military green was a popular color for many years. Seeing a little bright color on the street could be considered fashionable.

Anything with a little bit of color can be used for weddings, but that doesn't mean people don't like bright colors.

Who doesn't like colorful things? If someone could make a floral dress, they'd probably keep it in the bottom of their closet, never wanting to wear it out until a special occasion.

Director Tan likes bright colors. The two of them had already figured out her preferences and nodded to show that they understood what Tan Yuan meant.

It’s just a painting, they will definitely find a way to do it well.

It hasn't been long since the brigade distributed the money, but they have received quite a bit. For work like this, they just hope for more and more!

After arranging their work, Tan Yuan herself was not idle either. She had to make a plan as soon as possible.

Although Deputy Director Wang said that he would guarantee to complete the task, Tan Yuan did not dare to believe this guarantee.

If this happened two years later, when the country announced the resumption of the college entrance examination, the Ministry of Education regained its importance, teachers were respected again, and the leaders of the Education Bureau also rose in status, Tan Yuan would still be able to believe it. But as for now...

Thinking of Deputy Director Wang's eloquence, Tan Yuan felt that he might need help.

Tan Yuan worked on a plan until after one in the morning. Just as she stretched and was about to go to the kitchen to find something to fill her stomach, she heard Nian Lin's cold voice outside the window.

"Grandma Wang made dumplings today. I'm a little hungry. Would you like to have a bowl with me?"

Tan Yuan felt warm in her heart. Nian Lin always went to bed early, so she was waiting for her on purpose.

"Yes, Grandma Wang makes the best dumplings. Let's cook two more. Xiao Nianxiang must be hungry too."

There were more than just the two of them living in the yard, so Tan Yuan lowered her voice deliberately. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the tabby orange cat jumping off Nian Lin's body, stretching itself, and then finding a warm place to lie down and lick its fur.

"I'll help you light the fire."

Tan Yuan trotted after Nian Lin and ran into the kitchen one after the other.

The kitchen was warm. I reached in with the fire tongs and found something hard in the ashes. I took it out and took a look.

"Baked sweet potatoes? Linlin, did you bake them specially for me?"

"Well, fill your stomach. The dumplings will be ready soon."

Nian Lin's tone remained unchanged, and she remained indifferent, but Tan Yuan could see that her ears seemed red.

The cold weather seems to have warmed up...

Tan Yuan felt warm in her heart and the surrounding environment was also warm, but some places were really warm. Even in autumn and winter, the weather was still not cold.

The farthest place Guan Jianguo had ever been to since he was a child was Zhejiang City. He thought it was prosperous enough, but when he came to Hong Kong this time, he realized that this place was completely different from Shu.
