Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 146

    The establishment of the South Island Pearl Chamber of Commerce is also a major event worthy of attention to the local government. In the past few years, the pearl industry on the island has flourished, which has driven a lot of tourism and Consumption drives local development.

    On the day when the chamber of commerce was established, it was said that it would be a big show, and it was even more necessary to carefully publicize it and choose a good day.

    At this time, in the second half of 1983, two shops were built on both sides of the Pearl Craft Garden. Qin Rou rented out some of the shops, and let someone open a coffee shop and a fruit tea shop.

    —started to live as a charter wife again.

    Qin Rou’s sister, Qin Mian, is sitting in a coffee shop drinking coffee. This coffee shop is beautifully decorated, and moving music is coming from the record player.

    Qin Mian took a sip from the coffee cup, closed her eyes, and ate another piece of sweet cream cake.

    How about this taste?

    Bitter Sweet Bitter Sweet…

    “I’m still not used to it.” Qin Mian shook her head.

    Qin Rou has a general preference for coffee, but only occasionally drinks a cup or two. She likes to drink coffee with a small spoon, read a book with her cat in her arms, eat some cake, and drink a few sips of coffee slowly Refreshingly, spend an afternoon languidly.

    Of course, she prefers milk tea and fruit tea to coffee.

    “A lot of people like cafes that are popular recently. I heard that there are a few in Shencheng.”

    Cafés have appeared in Guangcheng and Shencheng, and there are quite a few people who go to drink coffee.

    This is probably for young men and women, watching movies, dancing in ballrooms, drinking coffee with loved ones in cafes.

    And now that they are older, they are going to go to Zhongying Street in Shencheng to snap up gold jewelry. Yes, gold jewelry is also a hot commodity now.

    Zhongying Street is a street connecting Shenzhen City to Hong Kong Island. The two places occupy more than half of each. Since the opening of the economy, because it is connected to Hong Kong Island, the shops on one street sell many foreign imported products. The goods are duty-free, high quality and low price, belonging to the “shopping paradise” of this era.

    This shopping spot is very popular. In 1979, the sales of Huaguo stores were only five or six million yuan, and in these two years, the total sales of all stores will break through the hundred million yuan mark, so The shopping spree was advertised several times in the newspapers.

    Qin Rou once went to Zhongying Street once, and she saw a few gold jewelry stores here and there. When it was hot and brilliant, there were nearly a hundred gold shops on the street.

    In 1984, Qin Rou intends to visit again, and by the way, finds a few shops to contact, cooperate in tying pearls, and expand pearl sales channels.

    The South Island Pearl Chamber of Commerce is about to be established, and Qin Rou has been promoted as the chairman of the chamber of commerce. She is also thinking about some methods these days, so that the pearl industry on the entire island will flourish in the future.

    After becoming the president, Qin Rou will have greater rights to regulate and lead the industry.

    “Coffee is refreshing.”

    “Wait until the day the Chamber of Commerce is established, sister, the batch of clothes you made will also be presented on stage…”

    Qin Rou and Qin Mian came this time to prepare for the establishment ceremony of the Chamber of Commerce. The two sat in the cafe and chatted about related things.

    Not only the two of them were sitting in the cafe, but at the other end of the cafe, Cui Mingzhan and Meng Lan sat opposite each other. He invited Meng Lan to come over for coffee today.

    Since the opening of the cafe, many people at their experimental station have become regulars at the cafe. Cui Mingzhan followed him for a few coffees, and he also remembered this place.

    He struggled and struggled, and finally chose this place.

    Through the glass window of the coffee shop, you can see the Pearl Craft Garden not far away.

    “Meng Lan…”

    He panicked, shaking his hand and pushing a beautiful gift box in front of Menglan.

    Meng Lan took a sip of coffee, the coffee was bitter, but she didn’t taste anything, she just took a sip, she might have guessed what the other party was going to tell her.

    All kinds of complex and contradictory thoughts filled her mind.

    She opened the box, which contained a set of beautiful pearl jewelry, the pearls were bright and beautiful, she picked up a string of pearl necklaces, the shiny beads reflected dazzling in her palm Light.

    A beautiful string of pearl necklaces.

    “This…this…” Cui Mingzhan’s mind was empty, he still couldn’t remember the belly draft he had made earlier, closed his eyes, and scolded himself for being unpromising, “This…this is what I cultivated by myself. The pearl, I, I, Menglan, I want to give it to you.”

    He speaks incoherently, Cui Mingzhan usually has a hilarious smile, but at this time, not only his head is knotted, but his tongue is also knotted, “Menglan, actually…you, um-“

    Meng Lan looked up at him, her eyes were clear.

    “Just…just, your pearl wedding photo, I think it’s very beautiful, so I’ll give you this.”

    “Actually, it’s not.” Cui Mingzhan wanted to chop off his tongue, “I’ll just say it!”

    Meng Lan said softly: “Tell me.”

    “It’s your…” Cui Mingzhan’s voice became smaller and smaller, and his face became more and more red: “Your photo is very beautiful, you, I said you, you, you, do you mind, One more person in the photo.”

    After finishing speaking, Cui Mingzhan was just like a child who did something wrong, waiting for the teacher in front of him to be released.

    Meng Lan looked at him so quietly, thinking of how nervous and stuttering he was just now, she couldn’t help laughing.

    “What are you laughing at?” Cui Mingzhan was a little annoyed.

    The smile on Meng Lan’s face became even brighter, “My photo is missing a person.”

    Cui Mingzhan finally found his tongue at this moment, and nodded desperately: “I said yes, you are missing someone, let me tell you, as a researcher, I suggest you go earlier Fill.”

    “If you can’t pick a suitable candidate, I’ll recommend myself.”

    “Sign up first.”

    Looking into the eyes of the man in front of her, Meng Lan nodded.

    “Then let me sign up.”

    On the day the Chamber of Commerce was officially established, a big stage had been set up in the open space in front of the Pearl Craft Garden, and countless balloons and red lanterns were tied to the streets on both sides.

    Qin Rou wears a lot of pearl jewelry today, beautiful pearl ear hooks, necklaces, and pearl rings on her hands. temperament.

    Qin Rou and the heads of several breeding plants communicated with the local government representatives, and there were people from the tourism bureau.

    At this time, several more cars drove over. They were from Qiongzhou Island TV Station. Today is a major event. As the only local TV station in Qiongzhou Island, it must come over to shoot and report.

    Qiongzhou Island TV has only been established for a year, and it is still a grass-roots team that is groping.

    After the people from the TV station came, many people at the event began to get excited. Although they didn’t watch this local TV station very much on weekdays, but…

    They showed up at the event today, maybe the camera will capture them later, which means…they are going to be on TV! !

    Although it is a local TV station, this is also on TV! !

    “It’s on TV today.”

    “Get ready for TV, pick a good spot!”

    “Would you like to look in the mirror and dress up.”

    …

     Knowing that they will be on TV soon, even the researchers who have always been in the experimental station have carried the burden of idols and began to take care of them. If you can’t afford a color TV, there will always be a black and white TV.

    Many villages and community public activity places will put a black and white TV set, and sometimes a whole village will gather to watch TV.

    Watching TV is like watching a movie. The more people you watch, the better.

    “Cui Mingzhan, what are you still doing?”

    “Aren’t you going to pack up?”

    “Why are you sleepwalking these days?”

    —isn’t it like sleepwalking?

    Cui Mingzhan vaguely thought that after he signed up that day, he was in this dream-like, out-of-body state of excitement.

    Meng Lan said that the event is about to start, let him hide it from others, and wait until after the event. Cui Mingzhan is very obedient, holding back without saying a word.

    Forcibly holding back such a state of being out of the body.

    “Qin Rou.”

    Qin Rou saw the people from the TV station. Among the group of people, she saw several familiar old faces.

    Qiongzhou Island TV Station was originally developed by the local Broadcasting Administration.
