Comfortable life in Siheyuan

This time, Liu Qingshan did not follow the others into the exhibition hall. Instead, he went directly to the mechanical equipment exhibition area. Liu Qingshan wanted to learn about some of the products and equipment exported by our country.

When Liu Qingshan arrived at the machinery area, he was also amazed. Unlike what he had imagined, we were exporting quite a lot of products at that time.

However, after looking around for a long time, Liu Qingshan found that not many people were paying attention to this place, and it seemed that not many orders had been placed.

But there is nothing we can do about it. In the field of mechanical equipment, we are still far behind the developed Western countries. We are also far behind our neighbors. Our only advantage is price.

Liu Qingshan looked at it for a while and figured it out! When he was about to leave, someone suddenly called him.

"Mr. Liu, is that Mr. Liu?"

Liu Qingshan turned his head in confusion and looked at the person who came, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment!

"Hello, Mr. Liu. I'm Qiu Dahai, an engineer from the Southern Machinery Factory. I studied in Sijiu City for a period of time. You took classes with us back then." Qiu Dahai said with a smile!

"Sorry, I didn't recognize you at first. How are the machinery orders here?" Liu Qingshan asked with a smile!

"Alas! Our machine tools and equipment can only take some small orders. You know the reason behind this, so I'll tell you straight!" Qiu Dahai sighed and said helplessly.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Are we working towards a good direction?" Liu Qingshan didn't feel disappointed. He understood the speed of future development and believed that it wouldn't be long before we would be able to catch up.

"I felt like you when you just came in. I hesitated for a long time before coming over to say hello."

"More than ten years have passed, and we have changed a lot!"

Qiu Dahai took Liu Qingshan to visit the booth carefully and explained it to him in detail. Liu Qingshan was also very excited.

Many devices look crude from scratch, but as long as we keep researching, we will catch up one day.

The two of them went to the hardware products area again. The two sides were not far apart. Liu Qingshan looked carefully.

Many of Liu Qingshan's research directions can be used in these products. For example, the titanium alloy he studied last time is very suitable for making high-end tools and aerospace tools.

Liu Qingshan followed it around and found that some basic stainless steels were very different from those used in later generations.

At least, in his previous life, the cups he used to drink water were all made of 316 stainless steel. But now many kitchen tools here don't even meet the 304 standard.

Liu Qingshan couldn't say much, so he turned around and looked at some other things.

There were many people coming to the exhibition, but not many people actually came to the hardware and machinery areas, at least much less than the textile and clothing areas I visited in the morning.

"Mr. Qiu, thank you for accompanying me all the way and introducing so many things to me. It's getting late, I'll go find other people now!" Liu Qingshan said with a smile!

"You're welcome. Our booth isn't busy, so I'll just walk with you. We'll see each other sometime in the future."

After the two waved goodbye, Liu Qingshan followed the sign all the way and walked towards the clothing area. When they separated, they agreed that it was almost time to meet in the clothing area.

Passing by the food area, Liu Qingshan saw a lot of unpacked sample packs and went over to eat a few.

At this moment, I happened to hear a few girls complaining nearby.

"You can see how delicious our desserts are, sweet but not greasy, and refreshing. They are all supervised by the factory's master chefs throughout the process, so why don't those foreigners like them?"

Liu Qingshan looked back and saw the little girl who was talking, pouting at this time!

These girls were all wearing formal work clothes, holding trays in their hands, and their eyes were fixed on the foreigners in the venue.

Liu Qingshan walked over with a smile, picked up a piece from their tray and tasted it.

"Is this Shaqi Ma?" Liu Qingshan recognized this kind of pastry at a glance. He had eaten it before in Sijiu City.

"You are from the north too, right? Our pastries are delicious. There are still a lot here, you can try them all." The girl was quite generous. She picked up the tray and let Liu Qingshan taste more.

"Foreigners may not be used to eating this, right?" Liu Qingshan reached out and took another piece, put it in his mouth, and asked casually.

"Don't you think this is weird? The pastry is so delicious, why do they look down on it! They started shaking their heads after just two bites." The girl was obviously resentful and spoke directly.

"Haha, our eating habits are different from others. It's normal that he can't get used to it." Liu Qingshan explained with a smile.

"How delicious must it be for them? We usually don't even want to eat this shaqima, but they don't even want it. Some people picked it up and put it down again. I'm really confused!"

"Girl, do you have a chef who makes the desserts on site? Why are there only a few of you here?" Liu Qingshan saw that there was a place for making desserts here, but he didn't see a pastry chef.

"Someone was making it here this morning, but it took half a day before they finished eating it. But a group of people from Japan came and ate a lot." The girl curled her lips, her tone full of disdain.

"Okay, go find your leader. Tell him someone wants to discuss serious matters with him!" Liu Qingshan understood almost everything and was ready to express his thoughts.

"Do you want to place an order? Then wait here for a moment, I'll go find someone." The girl threw the tray to another person and ran straight to the backstage.

Two minutes later, a group of people ran out and, led by the girl, came directly to Liu Qingshan.

The man stared at Liu Qingshan for a long time without saying a word. Then the little girl spoke again.

"Director, this person is one of our own. No need to speak a foreign language!" The scene was a little awkward for a while.

"Hello, Director. My last name is Liu. I'm from Sijiucheng. I just happened to come across your booth and wanted to talk to you." Liu Qingshan explained with a smile.

"Hi! I thought there was an order! Hello, Comrade Liu. We are from the same hometown. I am Director Qu from Daoxiangcun, responsible for the promotion of our factory's booth." Director Qu was a little disappointed, but not angry.

"Hello, Director Qu. I'm Liu Qingshan, a teacher at the Iron and Steel Institute. I noticed that our factory's pastries don't seem to have many foreigners patronizing us, so I thought I'd talk to you. I understand foreigners' tastes a little better than you do, and I'd like to give you some suggestions, but I don't know if they're appropriate." Liu Qingshan looked at the several master chefs present and spoke more tactfully.

"You also know about pastries. Does your Iron and Steel Institute also study this?" Director Qu was a little surprised, but did not show any unhappiness.

"I don't know anything about pastries, and I don't know how to make shaqi ma, but I understand the nature of these foreigners. I know how to cook them so that they will like to eat them." How could Liu Qingshan have such skills!

"Oh! Then tell us about it. If there's an order, I'll make some more and send them to your house. Thank you very much!"
