Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 119
Qin Rou’s pearl cultivation factory was set up in Linshuixin Village. The experimental station contacted the research institute to give her a lot of help and support, and provided two batches of mother-of-pearl.
Qin Rou also contracted the fishing boat of the fishing company to salvage and catch a lot of wild pearl oysters.
Technical staff and Qin Rou made a unified plan. It won’t take long for you to board the embankment and you will see ropes lined up neatly on the sea surface, with colorful **** hanging above and pearls under them Mother oysters, the seawater floats in waves, bringing nutrients from the depths of the ocean to the mother oysters.
A flat boat floats on the sea water, and the personnel on the boat regularly check the growth of pearl oysters.
It is said to be a pearl cultivation factory, but in fact it is only a small workshop of seven or eight people for the time being.
Qin Rou’s pearl cultivation factory is called “Xun Rou”. She is also an incompetent person. Pearl factories like to be called Run or Run. She doesn’t want to be called Hairun or Rou Run. Yes, I took a random name and called it—
Xunrou Pearl Cultivation Factory.
Qin Rou crossed her waist and looked at the wooden signboard hanging on the simple brick house. .
“This farm is really simple.”
It really looks like a small black-hearted workshop, haha, fortunately they don’t sell food, they just grow pearls.
…All in all, the pearl cultivation factory is still open, and by the end of the 1980s, the first batch of pearls will be produced.
After dealing with the pearl cultivation factory, Qin Rou left Qiongzhou Island by boat to Guangcheng.
Over the years, she has been back and forth on the ferry from Qiongzhou Island to Guangcheng many times. In the past two years, the ferry has changed a lot. We only set off at 7 or 8 o’clock in the evening, and arrived at our destination at this time the next day. Now there are ships departing at various times.
I used to see the bright lights on another island across the sea, which caused countless people to flee. Now the port has been opened. In July, Shencheng and three other cities began to trial export special zones In 1980, it will officially become a special economic zone.
Immediately there will be a glorious arrival, when the night is no longer just an isolated island with bright lights, but lights everywhere.
Qin Rou went back to school. Before returning to school, she found a skilled old silversmith in Guangcheng, took out the two pearls given to her by the test station, and asked the old silversmith to help her make it for her. A pair of pearl ear hooks.
Qin Rou roughly drew the shape of the ear hook, hoping that the old silversmith could help her inlay the pearls.
“This… this is a pearl? This is so beautiful!” The elderly silversmith looked at the pair of delicate seawater pearls in his hand, and saw that the pair of pearls was round and beautiful, with a beautiful luster. The gemstone pearls are reflected in the sun.
“Yes, these are seawater pearls from the South Island. The master helped me make a pearl earring.”
After looking for the old silversmith, Qin Rou went back to the school. The school teachers also knew that she wanted to set up a factory, because students like her who wanted to set up a factory were not alone.
College students in the 77th and 7th grades are quite special. Some of them have a difference of ten years in age. Many people have a lot of connections and deposits before. At this time, they have caught up with a wave of investment and establishment of factories. , some courageous, where can you sit now?
The timid will starve to death.
There are not a few people who spend money to set up factories and restaurants together, and the teachers of the school are also happy to see this situation.
Isn’t it said above that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, no matter how much knowledge students learn in school, it is better to actively apply it to practice.
For example, several students from their business management department have opened factories, but it is more popular to open clothing factories and canning factories. The pearl cultivation factory that Qin Rou wants to open belongs to A rather strange factory.
“Pearl?”
“Why do you want to open a pearl cultivation factory? If you have money, why not open a clothing factory now?”
The cost of garment factories is low, the effect is quick, and the cost can be recovered quickly. The people in Guangdong Province are not a bunch of people who go to set up various garment factories. There are too many, so I don’t have to worry about selling them at all. The whole country is in short supply of clothes, and everyone wants to put on fresh and beautiful clothes, to wear floral clothes, and to wear flared trousers…
People from other provinces come to the garment factories in Guangcheng to buy wholesale goods, but Qin Rou does not want to join the garment factory for the time being. There are too many garment factories here, and the competition will be fierce in the future. , Clothes are sold by the pound, and the price is very low. It is worthwhile to come here all the way to wholesale and sell clothes. It is not interesting to open a clothing wholesale factory here.
If you can’t sell clothes, there will be a backlog. Qin Rou is not sensitive to fashion trends. She doesn’t like to wear flared pants, and she doesn’t want to spend too much effort on the clothing factory.
Although she knows a lot of clothes styles, she doesn’t know how to draw clothes layout designs. Instead of blindly stepping into areas she doesn’t know, it’s better to do what she likes.
“Because I like pearls.”
“Aren’t you worried that your pearl farming factory won’t make money? If you lose money, then the bamboo basket will be empty.”
“You don’t worry about people running a clothing factory, why are you worrying about me?”
Qin Rou doesn’t know if the garment factory can make money at this time, but everyone knows that when this thing can make money, it is indeed a bit late to enter the market, and the competition is fierce. It takes a lot of effort.
Just like opening a milk tea shop in the future, there are countless people who are keen to open a milk tea shop. Milk tea shop, I think it can make money.
What’s more, the style and version of the clothes are too easy to imitate, and they still need to be designed. The clothes are updated every season, and many of them are copied from the works of classic fashion designers outside.
It is too troublesome to manage a garment factory, why bother yourself.
Although she does not open a clothing factory, she can make money through clothes in other ways.
“Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to make money?” Sun Hongping secretly gloated.
Seeing other people open a factory and make money casually, Sun Hongping’s eyes are full of enthusiasm. She feels that if she has the capital, she would dare to open a factory to make money, but she is timid and dare not take out a loan .
What can this pearl do?
Can you really grow pearls? I’ve never heard of anyone talking about keeping pearls.
“Have you heard of cultivating pearls? Or do you raise pearls in some seawater??” Sun Hongping asked Zhao Shanshan.
“Never heard of it.”
“You think Qin Rou was deceived by someone, or is she deceiving us on purpose.”
“Don’t know.”
By the weekend, Qin Rou’s pair of pearl ear hooks was ready. At this time, she had pierced her ears, put on pearl ear hooks, and had a beautiful curly hair loose. Take Zhouzhou and Xiao Dumpling to the military academy to find their father.
These two children are seven years old and have entered a period of rapid growth. Every time Qin Rou sees them, she always feels that these two little cubs have been jumping up and down.
Qin Rou pays great attention to the nutrition of the two guys, feeds them more protein-rich foods, and orders milk for them every day, as long as she cooks at home on weekends, she always gives them Cook a tofu dish.
“Mom!” When they saw their mother, the two children always wanted to give their mother a hug.
Qin Rou hugged the children one by one, she felt that the two children had grown taller again, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and their eyebrows and eye contours were very similar to their father Lu Yan. prototype.
When the two brothers who look alike appear at the intersection together, they will always attract many passers-by to look back.
Little Dumpling said with a smile: “Mom, you are beautiful again!”
“Our dumplings are so sweet.”
“You can’t call me Dumpling outside! I’m Lu Weize.”
Now Zhouzhou and Dumpling finally know the beauty and ugliness of their names. Compared with their former nicknames, they prefer their big names, Lu Weizhou and Lu Weize.
Brother Lu Weizhou holds a basketball in his arms. The brothers love to play basketball very much now. Every time they go to the military school, they have to bring a basketball to play with their father and uncles.
“Okay, Comrade Lu Weize, it’s my mother’s fault.”
Qin Rou got into the bus with the two children. Many passengers on the bus had their eyes on their mother and son. Qin Rou was used to the attention of others. on the row of seats.
A grandma next to her asked her, “These are your two younger brothers? They look really handsome.”
“No, these are my two sons.”
“Ah, girl, you look so young and your son is so old?” Grandma stared at her, hesitantly asked, “Is it biological?”
Qin Rou: “…”
Comrade Xiao Qin thought I looked like a stepmother?
“I’m their mother!”
Lu Weizhou and Lu Weize called her together: “Mom!”
Qin Rou put one hand on the shoulders of a cub and felt that these two boys were really good children of her mother. She looked around, thinking with some guilty conscience, wait a few more years, maybe this The two cubs are even taller than her. When the time comes, they will lead the two tall sons out, and they will really feel safe.
There are few cars, all of them are black bicycles.
Soon, they will arrive at the place, and before they get out of the car, Qin Rou has already seen the familiar white figure, a tall and handsome man with two small winter melons beside his legs.
Zhouzhou and Dumplings are like her, sticking to the window to watch her father and sisters.
When she got out of the car, she threw herself into the man’s arms and said happily:
“Lu Yan!”
What is Xiaobiesheng’s newly married, this is called Xiaobiesheng’s newly-married, eight years of marriage, still miss each other like this, what a seven-year itch, that is nothing.
Lu Yan hugged the woman happily in his arms, brushed her long hair around her ears, and whispered to her, “Daughter-in-law.”
Doudou and Rongrong also happily called their brother, Zhouzhou and Dumpling each hugged a sister, these two sweet bean paste sisters are very beautiful, as a good brother, the eldest brother Lu Weizhou immediately said: “Sister, the braids on your heads are so beautiful today.”
“Dad or grandpa?”
“Dad made it up.”
“My sister made it by grandpa.”
“Do you want to guess who Dumpling brother is?”
“Who are you?”
“No, I’m your brother Victoria…”
Squatting on the ground, Zhang Guodong looked at the scene in front of him, put his hand on his chin, and wondered how long it had been, why he still saw this familiar scene.
—Why are his family members late again?
