Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps

Foreign guests came to the house, which was the first time in the alley. In addition to the golden retriever foreigners, Section Chief Dai, who had dealt with the folklore expo, also came.

Director Ding and two old ladies from the street office were sitting on the chairs next to them.

These people all got the news and rushed over to sit with them and receive foreign guests.

Before Yuan Ni and Gu Chao came back, they had already made a joke because of the language and customs.

A foreign guest came to the house. Grandma didn't know how to greet her, so she asked Director Ding urgently, "I heard that foreigners drink what they call nashafei, but we don't have any. What should we give him to drink?"

Director Ding thought for a while, "I heard that they like to eat sweets and eggs."

Grandma understood, "Then I have it."

She cooked a pot of fermented glutinous rice and put in half a bag of white sugar. Afraid that it would not be sweet enough, she added two more spoonfuls of brown sugar, and then directed her aunt to crack eggs into it. "Two is too little, give him four. No, four is not enough." It’s auspicious, knock six times.”

The boiled eggs in fermented glutinous rice is a special feature. After cooking, my aunt sprinkled a few wolfberry berries to match the color.

This pot of egg fermented glutinous rice is beautiful and delicious, but six poached eggs are a bit too much. It can't be filled in an ordinary bowl, so it can only be served in a large blue and white porcelain bowl for eating noodles.

When the big bowl was placed in front of the golden-haired foreigner, he was shocked, "Is it all for me?"

Section Chief Dai smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's all for you. You are a distinguished guest."

Long before coming here, the golden-haired foreigner heard from Chief Dai that today is the New Year of the Dragon Kingdom, and the status of the New Year is as important as Christmas in their country.

Local customs must be respected.

Although the bowl was a bit big and the soup was a bit sweet, the golden-haired foreigner still drank the sweet glutinous rice syrup and finished six poached eggs in front of everyone.

Then he praised the eggs of the Dragon Kingdom and the blue and white porcelain bowl filled with sugar water, saying that they were very artistic.

When Yuan Ni and Gu Chao came in, everyone was looking at the golden-haired foreigner and laughing.

In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Section Chief Dai introduced both parties immediately.

"This is Mr. Jack from Beautiful Country. He is a reporter for Beautiful Country Weekly. He bought your gold-inlaid gourds at the Folklore Expo. His family is very interested in gourds and wants to order some."

"Mr. Jack, thank you for your trust. I told you when I sold the gourd that the gold-inlaid grasshopper gourd I gave you was used by the emperor. This kind of thing cannot be mass-produced." Yuanni smiled.

"I don't want what the emperor used, as long as it looks the same."

"They look the same? No problem at all. What do you want the gourd for?"

Grasshopper gourds are plant and herbal products. Each gourd is different in shape and size. Without a unique standard, it can only be made into handicrafts.

If what the other party wants is not a handicraft, you have to consider using other materials to make it.

Jack smiled and said, "My father likes the shape of gourds very much..."

After buying the gold-inlaid gourd, Jack immediately took pictures and faxed it to his family, saying that it was an antique he bought in China and had been used by previous emperors.

His father was a shareholder of a daily chemical factory and was inspired by the shape of the grasshopper gourd.

"He wanted some gourd-shaped bottles for new products, mainly body lotions and stuff."

"Are there any requirements for materials?"

Jack has also considered this issue. He not only checked the information himself, but also asked Section Chief Dai.

According to the results of the inquiry, Jack also came to the same conclusion. It is unrealistic to use pure natural gourds to store cosmetics. The sizes of these products are different. Some gourds hold more, and some gourds hold less. How to price them?

There is only one way to achieve mass production, which is to use ceramics or new plastics.

Golden Retriever Jack smiled and said, "Use ceramics. Ceramics are a specialty of the Dragon Kingdom."

"no problem."

This is a business opportunity. Although Yuanni does not have the ability to produce gourds, with so many factories in the capital, it is not difficult to find a processing factory. Maybe Gu Chao's factory can produce gourds.

Opportunities fall from the sky, seize them first.

She also had a grasshopper gourd in her hand and took it out on the spot, "This is similar to the gourd you bought. How is the size?"

"If it is smaller than this, the volume should be 150 ml."

"Okay, do you want gold inlay?"

"The one inlaid with gold looks better and has the characteristics of the Dragon Kingdom."

After confirming the shape and size again, Yuan Ni nodded, "I'll find someone to make the gourd in the next two days. When it's done, I'll ask you to see the sample."

Jack nodded, "After I get the sample, I will pass it on to the country. If my father has no objection, I can sign a contract with you."

The business is finally settled.

After all, it was the New Year, and grandma and grandpa warmly invited foreign guests and Section Chief Dai to stay as guests.

After eating six poached eggs in sugar water, Jack had no intention of eating and shook his head in refusal.

Chief Dai had to accompany him, "I will accompany Mr. Jack back to the hotel first and come back to visit another day."

Doing business with foreigners is not a simple matter. It is useless just to have an agreement between Jack and Yuan Ni. They also need approval from above.

Section Chief Dai is from the commercial department, and this matter has something to do with him.

After the two parties exchanged addresses, Jack was about to leave. He was about to go out. He suddenly slapped his head and remembered an important dragon country custom.

Jack refused to leave. He smiled and waved, calling all the children in the courtyard over, "Come here, I'm going to give out the new year's money."

All the children got a piece of green foreign money, even Ding Xiaobing and Xiaoguang who were guests.

Everyone politely said thank you.

Jack shook his head and said you're welcome. He covered his mouth and made a small burp that smelled like eggs, and then said, "You're welcome. I enjoyed your hospitality very much."

After Jack left, Yuanni learned that his family had given him six poached eggs in sugar water.

This……

After seeing off the foreign guests, the other two old ladies from the neighborhood committee also said goodbye.

Seeing no outsiders, Mao Dan couldn't hold it in any longer, "Sister Ni'er, please help me see how much foreign money this is?"

Yuan Ni smiled and took it over to look at, "This is one dollar. Based on the exchange rate, it is equivalent to more than three yuan of ours."

But if you really spend three yuan to buy U.S. dollars, you won't be able to buy them. There are many restrictions on currency exchange. If you go to the black market to exchange U.S. dollars, you will have to pay at least five yuan.

After explaining to Mao Dan, Mao Dan’s little eyes widened, “So valuable?”

Ding Xiaobing and Xiaoguang clutched the money in their hands. Did they make a big fortune? The little book for next year is already available.

Mrs. Ding smiled and warned, "Don't spend it, keep it first."

Many people still have ancient coins, silver dollars, etc. in their homes. Many of these coins have been thrown away by the children and exchanged for corn canes or maltose, which is a loss.

Mrs. Ding hopes that one dollar can realize its true value.

Mao Dan, Gou Dan and Ding Xiaobing usually have pocket money, so they nodded sensibly when they heard this, "We won't spend it, let's keep it well."

The fourth aunt glanced at Maodan Goudan, and what she was thinking in her mind was that she had to get the foreign money back from the children as soon as possible, so as not to make them wasteful...
