Village chief Li’s son, Li Xiaojun, should be around 25 or 26 years old. Liu Xia Lian has no impression of him.

"I feel relieved when Xia Lian said that. I always feel that there are two things in the Northeast that will never disappear. One is drinking white wine, and the other is eating kimchi. If you open a kimchi factory, our family will open a winery."

"No problem, money talks."

Village Chief Li shook his head repeatedly: "We are just doing a small thing. We will first expand the five acres of land in the old house into a factory. We are building the factory now and ordering supporting equipment. We will start production in the spring. We will do it little by little, and we will use your fleet for external transportation when the time comes."

"You're welcome. You can call me anytime. As long as we're not too busy, we'll definitely arrange for you. The busiest time of the year is when Chinese mustard greens are in season. We can't finish hauling all the vegetables, and the engine is smoking."

It turns out that before liberation, Village Chief Li’s grandfather’s generation ran a distillery. There were many small distilleries in the Northeast. Because it was cold in winter, men had nothing to do and would beat their wives when they were drunk. That was life.

His family can brew sorghum wine, and their craftsmanship is quite good. One kind is pure sorghum wine, a strong liquor, the favorite of the bearded men. It is spicy from the mouth to the stomach after one sip. Many old drunkards love this wine.

There is also another type that is brewed with sorghum, barley and rice. This type of wine has a strong sauce aroma and tastes delicious when paired with the clear spring water from Changbai Mountain.

Liu Xialian was a self-made man who had just become wealthy. But Village Chief Li’s grandfathers were all businessmen, but they had stopped doing it in the last few decades, so it was very advantageous for him to start again.

Moreover, Village Chief Li is a righteous man who dares to fight. He has many friends and comrades-in-arms, so it will not be a problem for the father and son to run a winery together.

Liu Xia Lian was having dinner with everyone when her mother came over from the office in a hurry: "Xia Lian, there's a call from the factory. They want to talk to you about something urgent."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

The call came from Assistant Xiao Ma: "The Department of Commerce said that there will be five Korean businessmen coming tomorrow, and we need to receive them."

"Okay, no problem. Have you told Xiao Cui? We have to let him be the translator."

"I told you that Captain Cui will be at the company tomorrow and won't be driving."

"That's good. No need for any special preparations. Just keep everything normal. This is the condition of our factory. We will not do a big cleaning to cater to foreign investors, which will waste people's time and money."

After Liu Xialian finished answering the phone, she came back and said to the village chief and everyone, "It's getting late, and I have to take care of the kids at home. I'm going to go back first and let Zhao Hua chat with you for a while."

"Okay, Xia Lian, go get busy. It's almost eight o'clock."

The baby was just over two months old and was still breastfeeding, so it was difficult to take care of him. Fortunately, the mother-in-law took full care of him and brought up the baby well, which made Liu Xia Lian worry less.

Around ten o'clock the next day, Liu Xia Lian, Xu Changyuan, assistant Xiao Ma, and team leader Xiao Cui, a group of four were waiting at the door. After a while, two business cars arrived at the door.

Xiao Cui's translation skills are pretty good, and he can speak to them in a natural way.

It turned out that the people who came were from the Korean Kimchi Corporation, and President Park and his group of five people.

Basic business etiquette was still followed. Liu Xia Lian welcomed everyone into the office and seated them as host and guest.

Assistant Xiao Ma brought up five beautifully packaged gift boxes, each containing four beautifully packaged canned gift boxes.

The first bottle is walnut kernels, which contain exquisite walnut kernels. The second bottle is small and exquisite golden bean hawthorns, which are golden in color and look delicious. The third bottle is canned yellow peaches, which are made by peeling large yellow peaches produced in Shandong. The fourth bottle is chili sauce made of chili, black bean and beef granules, with a layer of yellow rapeseed oil on top.

Chairman Park was quite curious and immediately expressed his desire to try it and asked if it was okay.

Xiao Cui translated, and Liu Xia Lian said, "Of course, it's a gift for you, you can eat as much as you want."

He was quite knowledgeable. He opened the chili sauce first, and a spicy aroma rushed straight to his head.

The chili sauce produced by the factory is a zero-additive product. The chili used is Shandong dried chili, the beef is from Inner Mongolia, the rapeseed oil is from Longjiang Province, and the soybeans are local. Even the bottle caps and glass bottles are made by local large enterprises, all of which are of high quality.

Chairman Park praised: "Wow, delicious, delicious, very delicious."

Koreans like spicy food, so they always add chili peppers to their kimchi.

"This is beef chili sauce, our new product. It's just a souvenir. We can go to the restaurant to taste our products."

President Park nodded: "Okay, very good, let's go and take a look."

The five of them had already had dinner in the county town, so they went to the factory restaurant not to eat but just to taste the food.

The staff had already set up the food. Although it was a factory restaurant, it was decorated cleanly and hygienically. The trays were all made of stainless steel and the basins were made of ceramic.

Liu Xia Lian introduced the pickled beans, pickled cabbage, pickled radish, Laba garlic, prickly ash sprouts, bracken, Chinese mustard, cabbage dumplings, glutinous corn, chili sauce, canned yellow peaches, canned hawthorns, canned oranges, and canned dried fruits in turn.

Xiao Cui was translating, and the Chinese mustard greens and Chinese cabbage knots didn't know how to translate anymore. He whispered to Liu Xia Lian, "Director, Chinese mustard greens and Chinese cabbage knots don't know how to translate anymore."

"It's okay, just let them taste it."

The five of us started to taste the vegetables. They really liked sour beans and cabbage and they could not live without them at every meal. As for prickly ash and fern, they were high-end wild vegetables and were expensive after processing.

All the products exported to Korea are now processed on behalf of others, which means that the locals cannot accept the imported products, so the local companies buy them back and pretend that they are their own products. These products tasted very good, and the five people praised them highly.

Chairman Park felt a little embarrassed when he saw that Liu Xialian and the others were not eating, so he asked Liu Xialian and the others to eat as well.

Liu Xia Lian picked up a corn cob and started to chew it. After she finished eating the corn cob, she threw it away.

Chairman Park was surprised and asked, “Why did you throw them away?”

"This is corn cob, we have to throw it away after eating it."

Cui said: "This is a cultural difference between the two countries. We are used to throwing away corn as fuel or processing it into fertilizer."

No wonder it is called the Korean country, they actually use corn cobs to make tea, which is really rare.

Soon after, the chef brought in a large tray with delicious watermelons. The sleek fruit was quickly cut into thin slices and distributed to the foreign businessmen.

They enjoyed eating the watermelons so much that they were even reluctant to throw them away. The watermelons that used to cost a few cents per pound here would cost several yuan per pound in their country. The regional differences are quite large.

These people had a lot of requests. They wanted to visit the assembly line, the warehouse, and even the farmland. Their meticulous attitude was admirable. Liu Xia Lian did not accompany them all the time. After visiting the warehouse, she arranged for Assistant Xiao Ma and Xiao Cui to take them to visit the Lijiatun farmland.
