Chapter 78: Would you like to choose one that catches your eye the most?
"Hmm, not enough. Let's make more using this stew pot."
Zhao Yuan said.
Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong, who were about to take a nap, rushed over to help wash the pig offal when they saw that Zhao Yuan had bought it again.
"Mom, go take a nap. We were in a rush to finish this morning, but there's no rush now. We can wash slowly."
Zhao Yuan coaxed Aunt Zhong back to her room for a nap.
"Okay, Fengzai, I'll take a nap in the yard and then come back to help you. I'm happy to do something."
Aunt Zhong smiled like a child and went to lie down on a recliner in the yard.
Uncle Zhong didn't have the habit of taking a nap at noon, so he moved a stool over and washed pig offal with Zhou Jiefang.
"Brother Chen, why don't you take a nap before driving? You're feeling a bit sleepy driving at noon."
After arranging for Brother Chen to take a nap, Zhao Yuan went to chop meat and prepare the ham sausage seasoning.
After chopping the ham sausage ingredients, Zhao Yuan helped wash the pig offal, stuffed the ham sausages together, and then started braising the pig offal and steaming the ham sausages.
Zhao Yuan divided the leftover ham sausages, braised pork offal, and braised pig head meat he made that morning into two portions and packed them up.
Uncle Zhong sat by the pool, washing the pig offal while observing Zhao Yuan doing all this.
After resting for a while, Brother Chen prepared to drive back to the provincial capital.
Zhao Yuan put the packaged ham sausages, braised pork offal, and pig's head meat into the car and said:
"Brother Chen, take one portion of this ham sausage and braised dishes back for your wife and children to try, and give one portion to Factory Director Qi Yong."
"Okay, thank you Zhaoyuan. You've helped the factory so much this time, we're so grateful to you. And you even brought me so many delicious things to take back with me."
Brother Chen said.
"Uncle Zhong, Aunt Zhong, I'll head back now. Thank you for today."
Before leaving, Brother Chen made sure to say goodbye to Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong.
Zhao Yuan saw Brother Chen off and then returned to the courtyard.
After giving Zhou Jiefang and Uncle Zhong some instructions, Zhao Yuan went to Tengfei Fireworks Export Company.
Zheng Ziqi happened to be at the company today and saw Zhao Yuan, which surprised him a bit:
"Brother Zhao, you're back! Didn't you say you'd be gone for a week? That's great! There's a ton of things waiting for you to decide."
"Well, there was a small mishap, so I'll have to go back in about a month. How's the outer packaging design coming along?"
Zhao Yuan said.
"They're all in that house. See if it suits your taste."
Zheng Ziqi was dragged to a room next door. Zhao Yuan looked through all the designs but still felt they weren't quite right.
Zhao Yuan shook his head and said:
"Let's have someone draw another set and see."
Zheng Ziqi spread his hands:
"Brother Zhao, we are powerless. I have thought of everyone we can think of, and this is the best we can do. There is no other way. Why don't you pick the one that you like the most?"
"let me see."
Zhao Yuan rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment, then continued:
"Director Zheng, can I ask someone from out of town to come and help? Good packaging design and a good concept have a big impact on sales. We need to be satisfied with the packaging from the first time, otherwise it will be too troublesome to change it later."
"Sure, if you have someone suitable, you can invite them over."
Zheng Ziqi said.
Zhao Yuan walked to the telephone, took out a small notebook from his backpack, found Zhao Xiaoqing's number, and tried dialing it.
A young woman answered the phone, and Zhao Yuan told him to ask Zhao Xiaoqing to answer the phone.
"Wait a moment, I'll go get it."
After a while, Zhao Xiaoqing's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Hey, Zhao Xiaoqing, this is Zhao Yuan from Jinyang County. I met you on the train last time."
Zhao Yuan said.
"Wow, Comrade Zhaoyuan, what made you think of calling me? You're really lucky, I just got back this morning."
Zhao Xiaoqing seemed a little surprised and excited when she heard it was Zhao Yuan.
"Zhao Xiaoqing, I need your help with something. It's about the packaging design for our exported fireworks... Could you come to Jinyang County soon to help me out, and maybe do some research while you're at it?"
Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Well, I don't have any plans lately. I'll bring someone with me; I'm afraid you won't be satisfied with the design if I design it all by myself."
Zhao Xiaoqing said.
"Sure, Zhao Xiaoqing. I have a favor to ask. How do you calculate the compensation? Even close brothers should keep clear accounts. We are a company that partners together."
Zhao Yuan got straight to the point.
"We're just here to gather inspiration. You can give us whatever you think is appropriate, or not, it's fine. We'll cover your food, lodging, and transportation. If you like any of our paintings, feel free to buy one or two. If you're not satisfied, you don't have to buy them. It's up to you."
Zhao Xiaoqing said.
"During the design period at my company, I'll give each of you 100 yuan per day, is that okay? You can stay for as many days as you like, and I'll cover all your food, lodging, and round-trip transportation."
Zhao Yuan said.
"Zhaoyuan, there's no need to drive so high. We'll come over tomorrow."
Zhao Xiaoqing said.
"Okay, call me after you buy the tickets, and I'll pick you up at the station. Write down my number..."
Zhao Yuan said.
The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up the phone.
“Zhaoyuan, Chen Hua has come looking for you twice, but I told her you won’t be back for another week.”
Zheng Ziqi said.
"Oh, I understand, thank you."
"Director Zheng, are all the products in each series of gift packages ready? Let me check."
Zhao Yuan asked.
"Okay, I'll leave this to Xiao Liu and Xiao He in the office. I'll go ask them."
Zheng Ziqi said.
"Xiao Liu, Xiao He, you two come here. Show Manager Zhao the selections for each series and gift package."
Zheng Ziqi walked to the office door and called out.
Xiao He and Xiao Liu came out.
"Director Zheng, Manager Zhao, the selected items are all in this room. Please take a look, and we will make any changes if necessary."
Xiao Liu was a little girl. As she spoke, she led Zhao Yuan and the others into a room.
Zhao Yuan entered the room, where things were piled up in a mess. He casually picked up a large gift bag and squatted down to examine its contents, which were also scattered haphazardly.
"Which of you two is primarily responsible for this part?"
Zhao Yuan asked in a slightly displeased tone.
"We were in charge of it together."
Xiao Liu replied.
"Xiao Liu, go and get the product selection list."
Zhao Yuan said.
A little while later, Xiao Liu came over with the product selection list.
Zhao Yuan took the product selection list, picked up a pen, and drew a line down the middle, writing Xiao Liu's name above and Xiao He's name below.
"Xiao Liu, you're in charge of selecting these items, and Xiao He, you're in charge of selecting the following items. I want to see packaged, categorized, and neatly stacked gift bags within two days. Just make sure the category is clearly labeled on the outer packaging."
After Zhao Yuan finished speaking, he handed the product selection list to Xiao Liu.
"Okay, Manager Zhao."
Xiao Liu and Xiao He took the product selection list back to the office.
Zhao Yuan spoke a few words to Zheng Ziqi and then left the company.
Zhao Yuan returned to Uncle Zhong's house.
