Purchasing them from other regions would increase costs and prove unwise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secondly, what exactly is the flavor that foreigners prefer? It’s not difficult for us Hua Xia people to make it, but making it so they like it is a bit challenging.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, we don’t have opportunities to interact with foreigners, so how do we sell it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng listened attentively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately took out a sheet of paper and answered one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Lu, establishing the production line is not something that can be done overnight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For raw materials, it’s best to use northern cucumbers. Because of the temperature difference effect, northern vegetables have a crisp taste that better suits the foreign palate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the short planting period due to the northern cold, I’m not sure if Director Lu has heard of greenhouses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greenhouses?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lu shook his head and listened even more intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Jiang Cheng’s eloquent explanation, Director Lu knew she had thought this through deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A greenhouse uses insulation materials and indoor heating facilities to ensure the temperature and humidity required for plant growth, allowing for vegetable cultivation even in winter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lu, surprised and thoughtful, questioned: \"You make a good point. My wife grows some cilantro at home every winter, so it’s feasible. But what materials should be used?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the material costs are too high, the local commune won’t agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lu thought ahead, and Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement, saying to hold on a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Jiang Cheng returned with a pile of worn-out papers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In 1958, our country independently researched and designed a polyvinyl chloride production facility at the chemical factory. As far as I know, Hai City Chemical Factory produces at least 3.5 thousand tons of polystyrene annually.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The materials for building the greenhouse would be plastic products, but these projects need support from above, which requires Director Lu’s own consideration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for sales... I have some connections with Director Leng in foreign trade. At the next Canton Fair, if we truly have products, we might be able to secure a place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng finished speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, she pushed a pile of prepared materials in front of Director Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I apologize, as I know my preparation isn’t thorough. Many are clippings from newspapers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apologize?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who’s apologizing to whom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lu was speechless, stunned and wide-eyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amazed by Jiang Cheng’s foresight, shocked by her effort behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a complete business line!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—- I——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lu stuttered for a while before finally organizing his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did you prepare all these?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng, calm and collected, pointed to various newspaper clippings on the table and said, \"These were found while working at the recycling station, browsing old newspapers.

Although I explained it well, actually doing it is very difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can speak fluently, but I’m not the one executing the work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lu interrupted Jiang Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to say it, I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lu finished speaking with a smile and organized the materials on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Cheng, difficult or not, someone has to do it, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was the Long March of twenty-five thousand miles difficult?

It’s in D language. The person from Xinhua Bookstore said you know it, so I came.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do know it! Shall we go now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Jiang Cheng packed her backpack and followed Director Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma Shen and the just-returned Shen Que quietly made way, listening to Jiang Cheng shout that she wouldn’t be back for dinner, waving goodbye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma Shen looked at Shen Que carrying a mess of things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you eaten?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Que shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The meal’s still hot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma Shen carried a small stool into the house, while Shen Que paused at the door for a few seconds, his mind still echoing with Jiang Cheng’s eloquent talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s truly excellent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of motivation and pride rose in Shen Que’s heart, bringing a smile to his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Shen Que foolishly smile while serving food, Grandma Shen sighed: A grown son is not to be kept in the house!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng and Director Lu left, each on a bicycle, heading to the food factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why Director Lu didn’t take the car, he would tell you: to save fuel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving at the food factory, Jiang Cheng engaged in brief small talk and then directly immersed herself in the translation work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She worked until eight in the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dining on a special meal directed by Director Lu, Jiang Cheng prepared to leave on her bicycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lu, worried, specifically instructed two female workers to escort Jiang Cheng home together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng declined, but after expressing her gratitude, the three of them left the food factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three chatted and laughed all the way to Alley Four-Five, where Jiang Cheng expressed her thanks again and the two female workers accompanied each other back to the factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Jiang Cheng was about to push her bicycle inside, she suddenly heard movements behind her and prepared the chili powder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s me, Shen Que.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Que’s back emerged from the shadows, two meters away from Jiang Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Shen Que’s position and raised her eyebrows, asking, \"You went to the food factory to pick me up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Que felt a bit embarrassed but believed that what he did should be shared, to avoid misunderstandings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I exercised along the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exercise... along the way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought you were going to say you were just passing by.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The main purpose shouldn’t be mistaken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Que spoke earnestly, and Jiang Cheng’s smile widened, agreeing, \"You’re right.
