Zhao Hongmei and Gu Chengxuan, who were dating with marriage in mind, did not stand on ceremony.
After a simple communication, the two immediately reached a consensus and happily embarked on their first date.
Zhao Hongmei was a cheerful and lively girl, very likable.
Although Gu Chengxuan came from a good family, he did not have many bad habits and spoke with great wit. The two got along very well.
At this time, there were not many diners, but preparations were already underway.
Liang Xiu asked Su Xiaotian if she wanted to go home first or wait to go home together in the evening.
Su Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I'll wait to go home with you! There's nothing much to do back home anyway."
Liang Xiu nodded, asked Su Xiaotian to go upstairs, and then returned to the kitchen to busy herself.
Over the years, Yiming Pavilion had continuously introduced new dishes. Coupled with the consistently delicious and affordable food, it had attracted a group of loyal customers.
In the capital, Yiming Pavilion's business was not the best, but it was still very good.
This was inseparable from the consistent business philosophy of the Su family.
The Su family, from Grandma Su to Liang Xiu, all believed that in business, especially in the food business, one must ensure fresh ingredients and food hygiene.
Su Xiaotian knew she couldn't help in the kitchen, so she didn't go.
She returned upstairs and continued her great endeavor of copying books.
The book was 400,000 characters. Her writing speed was fast, but her time and energy were limited. She could not write more than 10,000 characters a day at most.
Su Xiaotian did not intend to push herself too hard. Her daily plan for copying books was between 6,000 and 8,000 characters.
At this pace, it would take about two months to complete.
As time went by, the weather became hotter and hotter.
Su Xiaotian had already copied a thick stack of manuscripts, and half of the book was completed.
She had also completed several reception tasks and, in the process, finalized the matter of recruiting Su Xiaosi to build a instant noodle processing plant in Nanling Village.
After Su Xiaosi helped Su Xiaotian identify several problems, he also praised Su Xiaotian for becoming more capable.
By June, Su Xiaosi had set off for Germany.
Along with Su Xiaosi, the first batch of goods also went abroad.
Through Su Xiaosi's persistent efforts, Luxiangxiang finally obtained the export qualification.
When sending off Su Xiaosi and the first batch of exported Luxiangxiang, even Su Xiaotian, who was usually calm, felt a little apprehensive at this moment.
This time, it was very important for Luxiangxiang.
If Luxiangxiang food could be successfully promoted abroad, it would be very beneficial for Luxiangxiang's future development.
Conversely, Luxiangxiang's development would be affected.
But no matter how worried she was, she could only wait quietly for news.
Su Xiaotian knew very well that without going to Germany, she couldn't help at all.
However, Su Xiaosi had said when he left that he would call back in a few days to report on the progress in Germany.
Su Xiaotian trusted Su Xiaosi and believed that with Su Xiaosi there, everything could be resolved.
She just didn't know if her fourth brother would be able to see her brother Yiyuan after going to Germany.
According to Christina, brother Yiyuan would be returning to China soon.
Would the two of them miss each other?
The fact was, not only did they not miss each other, but they also met.
Upon learning that Su Xiaosi was in Germany to promote Luxiangxiang food, Chi Yiyuan abandoned his previous plans and decided to stay in Germany for a longer period to help Su Xiaosi complete this task.
No matter how smart Su Xiaosi was, he was new to the place and didn't understand many things.
But Chi Yiyuan was different. He had been struggling in Germany for years and knew how to handle things.
A few days later, Su Changjiu came to the capital.
He said he was bored at home and that everything was fine at the factory, so he didn't need to supervise it. He decided to come to the capital to relax.
Since the house in the capital was now habitable, there was no need to worry about not having a place to stay.
Since he was in the capital, Su Changjiu naturally had to visit his elders, Grandpa Su and Grandma Su.
Su Xiaotian happened to be there as well, so she took the opportunity to discuss with Su Changjiu the plan to build an instant noodle factory in the village.
Instant noodles were a novel term for Su Changjiu, and he listened with astonishment.
"Xiaotian, are there really noodles like you described?"
"Uncle Changjiu, they already existed in China in the 1970s. They appeared even earlier abroad."
"However, in the past few years, everything required ration coupons, so instant noodles did not occupy a large market share."
"There are now several instant noodle factories, and I think as the economy develops, the market share of instant noodles will continue to grow!"
There was a reason why instant noodles had not developed in China.
After all, in the past, it was not easy to travel, and various proof documents were required.
Naturally, no one was willing to spend money to buy instant noodles that were not filling and still required ration coupons to eat at home.
But now it was different. As the economy opened up faster and faster, and transportation became more convenient.
Especially with the popularization of long-distance trains, instant noodles were about to usher in an era of rapid development.
Nothing was a better match for instant noodles than trains!
It didn't matter that Su Changjiu himself had limited experience; he had a very good habit of taking advice from others.
As soon as he heard Su Xiaotian's explanation, he immediately expressed his willingness to try.
Over the years, Su Changjiu had come to understand that Xiaotian had excellent foresight.
Whatever she invested in, it would not lose money.
Since Xiaotian was so optimistic about the instant noodle industry, he decided to give it a try.
Although their village already had a breeding farm and a food processing plant, which basically solved the employment problem for the villagers.
However, recently, leaders from the town and even the county had expressed that they could not only solve the problems of their own village but should also take care of the surplus labor from other villages and towns.
Especially the county leaders, who were practically forcing them to hire people.
What else could they do? The breeding farm and food processing plant in Nanling Village were so profitable, and the wages they paid were even better than those in factories in the county town.
Who among the town and county leaders did not have a few close friends and relatives?
Unfortunately, the breeding farm and food factory were already fully staffed, so even if the leaders had the intention, they couldn't directly fire people to replace them.
But how could the old fox Su Changjiu, who had lived in the village for so many years, not know the key to this?
Even if they had connections, local officials were more important than distant ones. Maintaining good relations with local leaders was still very important.
"Uncle Changjiu, coincidentally, a batch of university students is about to graduate. This time, we can try to recruit some highly educated individuals to help manage the factory!"
Su Xiaotian offered her opinion.
