Chapter 166 Medicinal Soup
In the evening, Zhuang's mother brought the medicine soup to Wen Qing again, "Old lady, let's eat less meat in the future and save some money."
Wen Qing never ran out of meat when cooking, so as to prevent Zhuang Xien from saying that she did not treat his parents well.
By late September, the five factories designated by the State Planning Commission had all started technological transformation, and Wen Qing's work began to become easier. In addition to visiting the factories from time to time to supervise the progress of the projects, she spent more time designing electric bicycles.
Although electric bicycles look similar to bicycles, the key design points are how to convert the electrical energy of the battery into kinetic energy and the reliability of the battery. It took her more than six months on and off to complete the design.
This is mainly because she has too much to do, but also because the electric bicycles are still a long way from being launched on the market, so there is no need to rush.
Wen Qing stretched and looked at the time. It was already past six in the afternoon. She looked at the empty office again, put the design draft into the space, said hello to the old man who was guarding the door, and walked out of the Industrial Bureau building.
When Zhao Chang was passing by an alley, he took out a big fish weighing three or four pounds. When he returned home, Wen Qing started to kill the fish and cook.
As usual, Zhuang's mother brought a bowl of medicine soup. Wen Qing said, "Mom, there's nothing wrong with my body. I don't need to take medicine."
Zhuang's mother said, "I got this prescription from someone in the compound over there. They said that if you drink this medicine, you can get pregnant within three months. You can try it."
Wen Qing sniffed it, took the bowl, put it aside, and said, "Okay, I'll drink it in a while."
Zhuang's mother: "I'll go call your father back."
Zhuang's father liked fishing and built a fish pond in the yard. He kept the fish he caught that he couldn't eat in the pond. However, his fishing skills were average and he didn't catch any fish on two days out of three, so there were only a few small fish in the pond.
Before the National Day, Zhuang Xien finally returned home from Jizhong. His father looked at him and patted his shoulder. His mother said, "Son, you are finally back and you have lost weight."
Wen Qing saw that he didn't look thin, but there was a kind of thinness that made your mother think you were thin, didn't it?
Zhuang Xien brought back a batch of road bikes and planned to sell them during the National Day holiday. Wen Qing asked, "What do people in the factory think of these bikes?"
Zhuang Xien looked at her excited face and said, "The response has been very good. We are now producing 2000 units per month. We are mainly worried about the market acceptance of road bikes, so we have controlled the production. If they sell well, we can immediately expand production."
Then he said, "Now the factory still mainly produces city bikes and mountain bikes. Xiaoqing, you have worked hard these past few months. You have really lost weight."
Wen Qing had no choice but to say, "Oh, it's better to be thinner, so that you can look better in clothes."
On Sunday, Wen Qing followed Zhuang Xien to the Xunda store and called Fang Yuan and Lin Qingyuan to discuss the store's promotional activities during the National Day.
Fang Yuan asked, "How about a bicycle race?"
Zhuang Xien shook his head and said, "No, first, there is not enough time, and second, it will be unattractive if it is done too frequently."
Lin Qingyuan asked: "During the National Day, are we going to have a discount promotion?"
Wen Qing and Lin Qingyuan's wife Zhang Yumei did not speak. After discussing for a long time, they finally decided to offer a promotion: if you buy a road bike, you can get a transmission set for free, and the store will install it.
After everyone finished the discussion, Zhuang Xien said, "Fang Yuan, go print the posters, and then go to the school and the factory to find someone to post some advertisements."
After everything was arranged, he stood up and said to Wen Qing, "Xiao Qing, let's go home."
Wen Qing stood up and staggered. She was about to fall. Zhuang Xien took the lead to help her up. After a pause, Wen Qing said, "I got a little dizzy because of standing up too fast. I'm fine now."
Zhuang Xien asked, "Can I ride a bike? Do you want me to take you?"
Wen Qing replied: "It's okay, you can ride your bike, just ride slowly."
When they returned home, Zhuang's mother brought out a bowl of medicine and said, "Xiaoqing, it's time to take your medicine."
Wen Qing's heart tightened, and Zhuang Xien asked: "Xiao Qing, are you sick?"
Zhuang's mother answered first: "This is medicine for conditioning the body. Your brother is pregnant with his second child, but you still have no news."
Zhuang Xien went over and held Zhuang's mother's hand, "Mom, we are not in a hurry."
Wen Qing turned around, drank the medicine in one breath, and went to the kitchen with the empty bowl.
Zhuang's mother went to get the bowl, but Wen Qing avoided her and said, "Mom, you talk to Zhuang brother, I'll go wash the dishes."
Seeing Wen Qing leave the living room, Zhuang Xien asked, "Mom, are you guys doing well at home?"
Zhuang's mother said: "Your wife is diligent, but she is very tight with money, only giving her 20 yuan a month."
Urged Zhuang Xien: "Go and talk to her, and ask your father to check her business."
Zhuang Xien thought, Wen Qing didn't let him get involved with Changxia Winery, so there was no way she would let his father go.
So he said, "This is Xiaoqing's business. Let's not go, so as to avoid confusion."
Mother Zhuang muttered, "What could happen?"
Zhuang Xien knew that Wen Qing had clear boundaries in business, as evidenced by the fact that she never interfered with Xunda's operations. She never refused to do what she was supposed to do, and never got involved in what she was not supposed to do.
After comforting Zhuang's mother for a while, he went back to his room to rest.
The business performance of Schindler Bicycle Factory is getting better and better. Zhuang Xian has increased the wages of all the cadres and employees in the factory. The wage level of their factory is higher than that of Ji Zhong Steel Plant. The employees are quite satisfied with their income. The District Industrial Bureau can receive the management fee on time and has no other thoughts for the time being.
According to everyone's discussion, Zhuang Xien, Fang Yuan and Lin Qingyuan not only received salaries from the Schindler Bicycle Factory, but also from the Schindler Bicycle Shop, while Wen Qing only received investment dividends.
During the National Day, Zhuang Xien took the two old people to travel to the grassland, and Wen Qing returned to Erxia Village.
All the wine cellars of the new winery have been put into production. They are divided into light-fragrance liquor workshop, strong-fragrance liquor workshop and fruit wine workshop, each with 10 employees. They are managed by Wang Jianguo and his second apprentice Tang Lin, and Wang Jianguo also puts most of his energy here.
The old winery has 110 wine cellars and 100 ground vats, which were handed over to his eldest apprentice Jin Zicong.
Wen Qing, Wang Jianguo and Wang Guozhang are constantly trying new blending methods, hoping to find a formula that can highlight the koji aroma, cellar aroma and ester aroma of the liquor while achieving harmony among the three.
After a period of experimentation, Changxia Distillery developed a single product, a 10-year-old aged fragrant wine. This wine is very sweet and mellow, with a long aftertaste, and is of better quality than the previous Changxia Qingniang.
After the National Day, Changxia Winery participated in the 83 Autumn Food and Drinks Fair. Liu Quan was still the team leader, and Wen Qing had no holidays because of work.
After several years of promotion, Changxia Winery’s area at the Food and Drinks Fair has become larger and larger, and each wine tasting event has become a regular feature of Changxia Winery.
At this Food and Drinks Fair, Changxia Distillery brought a 10-year-old aged liquor, which is a light-fragrance liquor. This batch of liquor has been stored in the room for three years. In total, the base liquor has been aged for more than 10 years.
The 10-year-old wine has a long aging time, a full body, a prominent flavor, and an elegant aroma, which is refreshing and immediately attracted the attention of exhibitors as soon as it appeared.
Three sugar and wine companies in eastern Shandong and Shanxi provinces are their old customers, and this time they all expressed their intention to order 6000 bottles.
Liu Quan was worried that the inventory was insufficient, so he asked Wen Qing for instructions. Wen Qing said that there was enough base wine, so Liu Quan decisively agreed.
Some new customers also thought it was very good after tasting it and expressed their desire to purchase it to explore the market.
Even a merchant from Sichuan Province ordered 20 boxes of 1200 bottles of 10-year-old liquor. Although Sichuan Province produces strong-flavor liquor, light-flavor liquor also has a certain consumer group, and he plans to do some promotion.
