Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 104 Yao Weijun, I will fight with you!

The cage drawer was opened, and twelve steaming cans of canned sugar water and red dates appeared in front of Yao Weijun.

In the past, he experimented with eating bowls according to the preparation method provided by his sister-in-law, but now he changed it to cans and bottles.

The volume of red dates will increase after soaking, so put about [-] dates into each bottle, and then add the boiled sugar water, and it will be full.

Yao Weijun weighed it from the very beginning. One and a half kilograms of dried red dates were about sixty or seventy. Calculating this, one kilogram of dates can be used to make three cans of canned red dates in sugar water.

The production method is also very simple. First soak and replenish the water, then rinse it several times, mix it with the boiled sugar water and put it into a canning bottle. Drop the citric acid into the sugar water in advance. Finally, tighten the bottle cap, place it upside down in a steamer and steam it for 15 seconds. Minutes, take it out of the pan and let it cool, it’s ready.

Such handmade cans can be stored for a long time and can be stored for a year without any problem.

As the temperature of the cans gradually dropped, Yao Weijun unscrewed one of the bottles on the spot.

He needs to taste the canned food with added citric acid to see if the taste has improved.

"It's really almost done this time, sister-in-law, you should try it too!"

Yao Weijun took a sip of the sugar water with a spoon and ate a sweet red date. He couldn't help but smile with joy on his face.

It's sweet with a slightly sour aftertaste, and the taste is exactly right!
The finished product this time already has the taste of the canned product from a consignment agency. Even because of the original fragrant and refreshing fragrance of the red dates, the sweetness is even stronger after the can is opened!

"Yeah! It's delicious!" My sister-in-law nodded with pleasure and also laughed.

"Well, after it cools down overnight, I will open another bottle tomorrow and test the sealing. If there is no problem, then we can officially start mass production!"

Yao Weijun's confidence has greatly increased, and he is full of expectations for the canning processing business.

Cans from outside agencies cost three yuan a bottle, and they also require tickets.

The price of red dates in the village is only [-] to [-] cents a pound, and canned bottles are [-] cents each. Even if sugar water, labor and other miscellaneous expenses are added, the cost of each canned bottle will not exceed Six cents.

Calculating this, one bottle can earn you several yuan, which is quite a profit margin.

After tidying up the pot drawers, Yao Weijun took the unsealed cans back to his room in the backyard.

"Xiu Nan, I bought you a can, try it and see if it tastes good?"

He walked up to Yu Xiunan, who was at his desk preparing lessons, and put the can in front of him.

"Hey, why is it still a little warm? Where did you get it?"

Yu Xiunan asked curiously as soon as she got it.

"Don't worry about it. If it tastes good, it will be available tomorrow, and every day from now on!"

Yao Weijun sat down next to her and smiled proudly.

Yu Xiunan took a bite from the can, and a look of enjoyment appeared on her pretty face, "Well, it's delicious. Weijun, you're really cool. You can actually buy canned red dates. I remember that the cooperative doesn't seem to have this flavor at the moment." ?”

"We don't have it in the cooperative, but we can have it at home. You can have as many as you want in the future. I'll count them for you. In addition to canned red dates, you can also eat canned apples, canned pears, canned peaches, canned pineapples..."

"Stop it! Why don't you just leave it here and open a cannery? Why don't you just burn buns with a little money?"

"You really told me that you want to open a cannery..."

Yao Weijun didn't hide anything from her. He briefly talked about the red dates in the village and went to the glass factory to negotiate the purchase of cans and bottles.

"Is it too much of an investment? I'm so frightened by what you said. If you put more than 1 yuan in our village, no one would believe it!"

Yu Xiunan became nervous, put down the can and reminded seriously:
"Although I don't know how to do business, you have finally achieved something now, so you must stay calm. More than 1 yuan is really not a small amount, and how to sell it is also a big problem.

There is another fatal aspect, that is, there are only six or seven thousand kilograms of dates in the village. What if they are all used up?Have you considered the issue of durability? "

Yao Weijun looked at her and took her into his arms with a happy smile on his face, "Cheng, I didn't expect that my wife actually has two brushes. Although she didn't say much in a few words, she was quite right in every word.

But do you think I dare to customize so many bottles without considering the issues of sales and raw material supply?Don’t worry, you’ve already planned it in your head. It won’t take long before you find that these problems no longer exist. Just count your money happily when you come back from get off work every day! "

"Really? Then I will end up in the pile of money?" Yu Xiunan smiled slyly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement, and she said deliberately and self-deprecatingly.

"It's okay. I'm here. I will save you. For example, right now, you can see that you have prepared the lesson plan and eaten the canned food. Now it's my turn to save you!"

"Oh, don't make trouble. Let's skip it tonight, okay? I'm afraid of you, why don't you!"

"Really? I don't believe it! Look, you say it's exempt, but you don't think so in your heart..."

"Ah! Yao Weijun, I fought with you, you were the one who provoked me first!"

"..."

……

As the morning light dawns, Yao Weijun has gained a lot, but he has also put in hard work.

At every peak moment, you always want to come out quickly.

After dinner in the morning, Yu Xiunan quietly called him back to the room with a happy and sweet look on her pretty face.

"Guardian, you put this money here for me. Now you are involved in the canned business. You must be short of money. Now, it's all here. I haven't touched a penny."

As she spoke, she took out an embroidered cloth bag from the bottom of the cabinet, checked that there was no one in the yard, and quickly opened it.

Inside was the more than 7000 yuan that Yao Weijun asked her to keep, and now it was neatly bundled. There were three large bundles and a small bundle composed of some scattered coins.

Yao Weijun hugged her, gave her a peck on the pretty face, and then took out the canvas bag and put the money in it.

I originally wanted to move the cabinet to get the money later, but now I have more than 7000 yuan, plus the money collected recently, it has already exceeded 1 yuan.

"Slow down on your way to school."

"Well, you should be careful outside."

Yu Xiunan let him hug her and gently helped him adjust the collar of his shirt before going out and riding her bicycle to school.

Yao Weijun walked out of the door and turned back. He went straight to the south courtyard and controlled the force to twist the can bottle cap. Finally, he used the tip of the key to pry it a few times and let in the air before unscrewing it.

"The sealing is quite good, no different from the cooperative ones, which is great!"

He was very satisfied with this. He sniffed the fragrance in the can and couldn't help but feel a happy smile on his face.

This made him feel more confident when he went to Dawang Temple to sign the bottle purchase contract today, and he considered the next plan in detail.

"An Hong, An Gang, come here to eat canned food!" He walked to the backyard, handed the canned food to the two little guys, and stopped the third sister.

"I have something else to do today, and I may not be able to talk to Lili. Third sister, if you do this, I will send you three back later. If you meet Lili, just tell her that I will Go over there again.”

"Sure, you can decide according to your own arrangements. It's easy to talk to Lili."

The third sister Yao Weifang nodded in agreement, and then added: "When you and Lili are settled, arrange for me to join you as soon as possible. Seeing how busy you are living every day and making money, I really can't sit still. I really want to learn it now!"

"Soon, when you are busy in the future!"

Yao Weijun smiled, patiently comforted the third sister, and helped Lao Maitou, who arrived, to load the car.

After watching Lao Maitou go away, he estimated that the time was almost up. He returned to his room, picked up the canvas bag, put the fuel tank cap on the front of the motorcycle, and called his third sister and two nephews to get on the car.

"I'll take you to the old house first, talk to our father and mother, and then go straight to Gejiacun."

"Okay, is it okay to let An Hongan sit between us?"

"It's okay, the motorcycle is big enough anyway, you three can't get enough of it!"

……

The third sister was leaving, and the sister-in-law came out from the south courtyard to see her off. Yao Weijun rode his motorcycle back to the village first.

Father Yao Xiangui and his wife heard that the third sister was leaving, so they held hands and talked for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, Yao Weijun started his motorcycle.

"In the future, I will often bring Anhong and the others back to stay for a few days. Don't show up for months at a time. Mom doesn't want you to bring your things. As long as they come back often, it's fine. Junzi, take the three of them with you on the way. Slow down!"

Mother Zhu Mei had a look of reluctance on her face and kept nagging.

"Mom, I will come back often in the future. You and dad should also take care of your health. I'm leaving!"

The third sister twisted her body and waved goodbye to her family.

Yao Weijun slowly accelerated his speed and drove straight out of Jianchang Village.

When Yao Weifang returned to her parents' home this time, she rode someone else's carriage instead of riding a bicycle.

Sitting on the motorcycle at this time, feeling the brisk speed, I couldn't help but feel envious.

In less than 10 minutes, the motorcycle drove into Gejia Village and stopped at the gate of the third sister's house.

"Junzi, can you eat before you leave? I'll make you some soft egg pancakes at noon!"

Yao Weifang really wanted to keep her brother at home for dinner, so she said seriously.

"No, I'll come back to eat tomorrow. You can take Anhong and the others into the house. I have to go to the joint venture area and make an appointment with the factory."

Yao Weijun smiled and waved his hand and explained.

"Well, please go slower on the road!"

The third sister, Yao Weifang, stood there slightly disappointed. She waited until Yao Weijun rode out and disappeared before opening the lock on the courtyard door and entering the courtyard with her two children.

Yao Weijun traveled at a fast pace and arrived at the Dawangmiao Joint Camp Area just after 09:30.

He first went to the gas station in the joint venture area to fill up his tank, and then went straight to the Qianjin Glass Products Factory.

Because the general cooperation intention had been negotiated with Deputy Factory Director Han yesterday, the contract was signed quite smoothly. After confirming in detail with the glass factory business group leader Shao, they both signed the contract.

Yao Weijun paid the initial payment of 1 yuan and received the receipt and delivery notice from the factory.

According to his request, the first batch of [-] cans and bottles were selected in the flat oval shape. Two thousand will be delivered after a week, and the rest will be shipped gradually in December.

After the business matters were settled, Yao Weijun went to meet Director Feng again to express his gratitude in person, but at the same time he did not want to sever the relationship.

"Brother Feng, are Factory Director Han free this weekend? You see that you and the leader have helped me so much, and I feel guilty about it, so can you make an appointment for me and let's get together this weekend? If it’s not convenient for you to go to a restaurant, I can leave it at your house and I’ll arrange the food and drinks!”

Yao Weijun's current plan is very clear. On the one hand, he will do business to make money, and on the other hand, he will try to accumulate as many contacts as possible.

Because he knows very well that money represents superficial strength, and those invisible and intangible connections are also a kind of one's own strength, and may even be more useful than money at critical moments!
"I really can't say for sure. Otherwise, if you don't mind the trouble, you can come over on the weekend and I'll give you the correct information then."

Director Feng said with some uncertainty.

"Okay, then I'll just make a trip. My heart is here. I promise it won't be too much trouble! Haha..."

Yao Weijun nodded cheerfully and agreed. Anyway, his motorcycle was convenient, so it wouldn't take much time to go back and forth.

Saying goodbye to Director Feng, he returned to Jianchang Village in a relaxed mood. Taking advantage of the time before noon, he went for a walk in the greenhouse.

Although there are a lot of things going on in the business in the past two days, the greenhouse cannot be left alone. Fortunately, the current bacterial strains are still in the infancy stage, and the few people in charge can take care of it.

"Dad, why are you here?"

As soon as he entered the greenhouse, Yao Weijun saw that his father Yao Xiangui was also present, and he was arranging several people with him to spray water mist on the bacterial bed.

"There's nothing going on at home, so I just came over to check on you. Are you busy?"

Yao Xiangui blinked at him vaguely, and the father and son walked out of the shed one after the other.

"Hey, I know you have a lot of things going on right now, but you can't just leave this greenhouse alone. I was too embarrassed to say that I was guarding outsiders just now. We invested so much money into this greenhouse, and you let a few outsiders watch it. Can I rest assured? "

As soon as Yao Xiangui walked out of the greenhouse, he frowned and reminded in a low voice.

"Dad, there is a difference between growing a greenhouse and growing crops. I understand your feelings, but don't worry, I will come around and check on the situation whenever I have time."

Yao Weijun motioned for the two of them to go farther away, and continued to explain with a helpless smile: "Besides, they are not outsiders. They all came to learn planting techniques from me. They worked hard to help build greenhouses and cultivate strains. Well, now I won’t let people in, is that ridiculous?”

"Then you might as well teach me, so that I can help you take care of me. How great!"

Yao Xiangui said in a serious tone.

"Originally, I didn't intend for you to suffer through this. Going in and out of the greenhouse every day is not much easier than working on the ground."

Yao Weijun explained with a wry smile, "If you really want to learn, you can come anytime. When I'm not around, you can also ask them to teach you how to do it."

At this moment, Uncle Xianping came over from a distance, happened to hear Yao Weijun's words, and continued with a smile:
"Junzi, my uncle has thought about it and plans to work in the greenhouse with you!"
