Shao Qingyi refocused on the research and development of snacks.
He cut a part of the tofu he made yesterday to make homemade tofu, and now there are four-fifths of the whole tofu left, which is enough for him to study and explore.
Shao Qingyi's first attempt was dried tofu.
When he was still in modern society, he once made homemade dried tofu.The method is very simple, that is, slice the tofu, marinate it and bake it in the oven.
The baked tofu made by this method is neither soft nor hard, but very chewy.
There is no oven here, so Shao Qingyi simply fried the tofu directly to remove the moisture in the tofu.
He cut the tofu into small strips, which made it faster and fuller to fry.
Then comes the frying process.
Shao Qingyi specially bought several cans of rapeseed oil because the family made both fried fish nuggets and fried dough twist.
Hu’s shop also sells rapeseed oil, but most villagers are still used to buying it directly from Lu’s, which makes rapeseed oil.
Rapeseed is needed to make rapeseed oil, and the Lu family uses all their farmland to grow rapeseed, so they also need this kind of trade to obtain food.
Shao Qingyi traded the bacon at home, and the exchange of a few bacon for these barrels of rapeseed oil can be said to be a very good deal.
In fact, strictly speaking, the cellar of the He family is a treasure house.After all, the price of meat in this world is not low, and ordinary people can't eat meat a few times a year, so the He family can save such a large cellar of meat because of He Changji's ability to hunt.
Hey, why did you think of He Changji again?
Shao Qingyi quickly got rid of these thoughts from her mind, and then began to pour tofu sticks into the hot oil pan.
The tofu turns a beautiful golden brown from the high heat oil.
The sizzling frying sound attracted the two children who were supposed to be studying hard.
"Father, mother, what are you doing delicious?" Obviously they had just had breakfast, but hearing the pleasant sizzle, they still couldn't help drooling and came over to play the autumn wind.
"Father Mu is frying tofu." Shao Qingyi said with a smile, "I'll take it for you to taste when it's fried."
"Yeah!" The two children nodded in unison.
Seeing that the smile on Father Mu's face was a little weaker than before, Cheng An couldn't help asking: "Father Mu, are you a little unhappy today?"
Shao Qingyi didn't expect Cheng An to be so sharp.
However, how to share emotional matters with children?
So Shao Qingyi shook her head and lied: "No, Father Mu is just thinking about something."
"Thinking about something? What is Father Mu thinking?" The innocent Cheng An believed Shao Qingyi's words.
Shao Qingyi said nonsense: "I was thinking, how can I make an oven."
"Oven? What is an oven?" Cheng Ping asked curiously.
"The oven is a kitchen utensil that can bake food at high temperature." Shao Qingyi simply explained.
"Roast? Can't it be roasted with fire?" Cheng Ping asked doubtfully.
"The temperature of the fire is not evenly distributed, and it is easy to burn the food." Shao Qingyi continued to explain after hearing the words, "In the case of an oven, it is not to let the fire directly contact the ingredients, but to keep the ingredients in a high-temperature environment. Gradually roasted under high temperature."
"Oh~" The two children seemed to understand but half understood.
"Go ahead and study. I'll call you when the tofu sticks are fried." Shao Qingyi said with a smile.
"Okay~" The two children responded in unison.
But when they got out of the kitchen, the two children didn't start studying right away, but sneaked out to find Dad who was making bunk beds.
"Daddy, daddy, we know why Father Mu is unhappy!" Cheng Ping lowered his voice, but the show off in his tone couldn't be stopped.
"Oh?" He Changji was a little skeptical, but still asked, "Why?"
"Father Mu said he wanted to make an oven!" Cheng Ping replied proudly.
"Oven?" Another term he had never heard of before, He Changji frowned.
He now suspects that this Shao Qingyi is not only another soul that entered the original Shao Qingyi's body, but also a soul from another world.
Otherwise, how could he come up with so many strange terms and know so many unheard things?
"Father Mu said that the oven is a kitchen utensil for roasting food!" Cheng Ping said like an adult, "Father Mu also said that the food baked directly by fire is easy to burn, and the oven is not easy to burn the food. .”
Cheng An on the side nodded and added: "Father Mu said it's because the oven heats the food indirectly, so it's not easy to burn!"
"Yes!" Cheng Ping nodded in agreement when he heard the words.
"So, Father, can you make an oven to make Father Mu happy?" The two children raised their heads and asked in unison.
He Changji knew that Shao Qingyi must not be angry because of this reason, but since he said so to the children, he should indeed have a need for this "oven".
"Let me try." He Changji replied, "By the way, don't tell your father-in-law yet."
"Got it!" The two children were small ghosts, and after nodding their heads in agreement, they returned to the house.
Shao Qingyi fried tofu sticks with her back to the window, and did not see the scene where the children communicated with He Changji.
The first batch of dried tofu had already been deep-fried, Shao Qingyi fished it out, drained the oil and let it cool, and at the same time added a new batch of tofu sticks to the oil pan.
Shao Qingyi first picked up a cold tofu stick and tasted it.
Well, the tofu has been deep fried.
But because there is no seasoning added, the taste is very bland.
Perhaps he should have salted it for a while before frying it?
Thinking of this, Shao Qingyi took out some of the unfried tofu sticks and sprinkled them with salt and soy sauce to marinate.
As for the original fried tofu sticks, I can't just give up the treatment.Shao Qingyi decided to try dipping it in sauce.
When I went back to the county town to sell it last time, Shao Qingyi also sent out some sauces.He uses smaller crock pots because there are no plastic serving boxes as convenient as modern ones.There were only a few earthen jars in stock at home, so Shao Qingyi only gave a few jars to a few big customers, and didn't send anything else, but there were quite a few jars left at home.
Shao Qingyi opened a can of sweet noodle sauce, took some out and put it on a plate, then dipped it in the original fried tofu and tasted it.
Hmm, it smells a bit like fried stinky tofu?
No, if it's just this kind of fried tofu, it will definitely not attract the interest of those old ladies who are used to delicacies from mountains and seas.
Shao Qingyi's positioning of his Ping An Grocery Store is a small shop that provides novelty, delicious or fun products. To meet this positioning, the food he develops must also be something that others have never seen, unexpected and hard to imitate.
The reason why the previous fried fish nuggets were able to open up the market of the aristocratic family was actually more due to luck.If you want to really gain a foothold, you must show your real skills.
While thinking, Shao Qingyi began to make various attempts.
He began to season the fried dried tofu.
Sprinkle salt and chili powder directly on the fried dried tofu to make spicy dried tofu.
Shao Qingyi picked up a piece of spicy dried tofu and tasted it. After adding salt and chili, it did add some flavor, but it was still not amazing.
This kind of food cannot be seen by everyone in the family.
Shao Qingyi tried various condiments and seasonings, but the taste was always unsatisfactory.
He thought of the ready-to-eat soy snacks that he had eaten in his previous life, but they were never made in such a dry style.There are so many food manufacturing companies, it is impossible that no one has thought of changing the method, it can only be that the taste of the food is not very delicious.
So, can it still only be made into vegetarian jerky?
If this is the case, fresh-keeping methods must be put on the agenda.
Hey, let's go to Chen's house in the afternoon, what if the Chen family's husband doesn't care about the past?
The research and development of new food fell into a stalemate for a while, Shao Qingyi turned her thinking to something fun.
It just happened that I promised the children that I would make toys for them, and after processing these tofu sticks, I just happened to play with the children for a while.
While thinking about it, Shao Qingyi put the fried tofu strips into another pot and cooked the five-spice dried tofu.
Five-spice dried tofu is actually stewed tofu, add various spices such as fennel and bay leaves, soy sauce, salt and other seasonings, add water and stew until all the seasonings are fully flavored.
The taste of fried tofu will be more crispy and soft. Compared with ordinary stewed tofu, the taste of this spiced tofu will be even better.
After cooking for about half an hour, the originally crispy dried tofu was cooked until it softened, and the juice could still come out when poked with a wooden spatula.
Seeing that it was almost cooked, Shao Qingyi added sugar to the pot to collect the juice.
Under the action of high temperature and sugar, the originally fluid juice began to become viscous.
This is almost cooked.
Shao Qingyi took out a basket, spread several layers of white gauze on the bottom of the basket, picked out the cooked dried beans with chopsticks and put them on the gauze to cool.
After cooling down, the originally soft dried tofu became hard again, which is just right for snacks.
Shao Qingyi packed a small plate and took it out for the two children to eat.
"Wow!" The two children exclaimed very appreciatively, and each picked up a piece of tofu stick with chopsticks to taste.
The chewy dried tofu is wrapped in a salty, sweet and delicious sauce, and the juice is flowing when you bite down. The more chewy the fried tofu is, the more fragrant it is, mixed with the fresh and sweet sauce, it is so delicious!
The two children ate deliciously, while Shao Qingyi took out some paper and cloth and made toys for the children.
"Father Mu, what are you going to do?" Cheng Ping asked curiously while eating.
"I'll make something fun for you." Shao Qingyi replied with a smile.
He first cut out a square with a length of about two centimeters out of fabric.Then paste paper on both sides of the cloth with paste to increase the hardness of the cloth.
Then, he cut off the excess paper with scissors, and cut the whole square into triangles, trapezoids, small squares and other shapes.
A set of simple jigsaw puzzles has begun to take shape!
Shao Qingyi looked at the semi-finished product, didn't it look pretty?Hardness was also not as expected.
So he simply pasted a few more layers of rice paper on top of the two layers, and wrapped the exposed fabric with rice paper. Although it was still ugly, at least it had the hardness.
Well, Shao Qingyi looked at it for a long time, and finally decided to let He Changji make a set of jigsaw puzzles out of wood. The jigsaw puzzles made of cloth and paper are ugly and easy to damage.
The set in his hand can be used as a template!
The production of the jigsaw puzzle was overturned, and Shao Qingyi continued to make the next toy—Huarongdao.
Compared with Tangram, Huarongdao is more playable and more complicated to make.
Shao Qingyi took out a piece of cloth, first pasted it with paper, then cut out a large square in the center, and finally cut this large square into a small square, four smaller squares and five rectangles, and placed them on the The names of characters from the Three Kingdoms such as "Cao Cao", "Huang Zhong", "Zhao Yun", "Zhang Fei" and "Guan Yu" are written on it.
This toy of Huarong Road is based on the famous story of "Cao Cao's defeat and Huarong Road" in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Cao Cao was defeated by Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and was forced to flee to Huarong Road.
Even though they were all deserters, Cao Cao was very proud and laughed at Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu for not being smart enough to set up an ambush on Huarong Road. As a result, when he laughed, Zhao Yun came out laughing.Thanks to the protection of his subordinates, Cao Cao was able to escape.
It's hard to escape, Cao Cao should calm down, right?He didn't like it, and started to laugh again, but this smile made Zhang Fei laugh.Thanks to the help of Cao Cao's subordinates, he was rescued again and made him escape again.
It is said that there are only three things, but Cao Cao doesn't have a long memory. This third laugh makes Guan Yu laugh.This time Cao Cao's subordinates couldn't beat him, and seeing that it was difficult to escape, Cao Cao talked about his old love.Guan Yu was once favored by Cao Cao. In order to repay the favor, he released the water, which allowed Cao Cao to escape successfully.
The gameplay of Huarong Road is to move the chess pieces blocking "Cao Cao", so that the innermost and largest square "Cao Cao" chess pieces can be moved from the initial position to the opening in the bottom middle of the chessboard to escape the encirclement.
Shao Qingyi took out another complete piece of cloth, pasted it with paper, and pasted the cloth that had been cut into a large square on it, and a chessboard of suitable size was ready.
Shao Qingyi arranged "Cao Cao" and other "characters" in order, and then told the two children that the rules of the game for this toy are to move other "people" away and let "Cao Cao" escape, and the two children came immediately Interested.
At the beginning, they were a little confused, but soon they discovered that the four small squares are the key to moving the rectangle, and only when the rectangle moves can the "Cao Cao" inside come out.
After working outside for a long time, He Changji, who was thirsty and wanted to drink some water, entered the room and saw two children arguing.
Cheng Ping said loudly: "No, no, it should be moved like this!"
Cheng An was not to be outdone: "It's not right for you to do this, you see everyone can't move now!"
Shao Qingyi on the side laughed happily, not trying to persuade a fight at all.
What are the three father and son doing?
He Changji pushed the wheelchair forward curiously, and then saw the children pointing at some objects with strange names written on them, and moving them from time to time.
"What are you doing?" He Changji asked out loud.
"Daddy, daddy, come and help us rescue Cao Cao together!" Cheng Ping asked for help when seeing daddy coming.
"Cao Cao? Who is Cao Cao?" There is no "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in this world, so He Changji naturally doesn't know Cao Cao.
He was a little dazed as he listened to the children finish explaining the game rules of this toy, and then he realized that this was a new toy Shao Qingyi made for the children.
Compared with this toy, he was more interested in the characters on this toy, and his intuition told him that it was impossible for Shao Qingyi to write the names of these people for no reason.
"There should be a story behind this toy, right?" He Changji asked Shao Qingyi, "Huarong Dao sounds like a place name, why is this Cao Cao trapped in Huarong Dao, and why did the people in front stop him? Do you have an explanation?"
Shao Qingyi didn't expect He Changji to be so perceptive, and she guessed most of the story behind Huarong Dao right away.
Hearing Dad's question, the two children also became curious and hurriedly asked Mu's father about Hua Rongdao's story.
Shao Qingyi told the three of them the story behind it in detail.
After listening to the story of "Cao Cao's defeat in Huarong Road", Cheng Ping said old-fashionedly: "So, you can't be too complacent in life. Cao Cao is too complacent, that's why he gets slapped in the face again and again!"
Cheng Ping had just learned the word face slap from his mother's father not long ago, but now he is able to learn it and use it flexibly.
Cheng An is not very interested in this kind of battlefield story, but just thinks that Cao Cao's three laughs and three enemies are a bit amusing.
He Changji commented from the battle itself: "Although the military strategist Zhuge Liang thought carefully and deliberately placed Guan Yu in the last pass, he still underestimated the hearts of the people. There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and this Guan Yu is loyal to righteousness but not to the king." .”
After hearing He Changji's evaluation, Shao Qingyi said with a smile: "It's just a story, why think so much? Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been in a dilemma. It's better to follow your own heart and do things that are truly worthy of you."
When He Changji heard this, he took a deep look at Shao Qingyi, then suddenly smiled and asked, "From what you've said, it seems that you don't intend to be loyal to His Majesty today?"
Shao Qingyi was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why He Changji mentioned this suddenly.But he still replied bluntly: "Let's not talk about a country man like me, who has no chance to be loyal to the country at all. Even if there is a chance, a selfish person like me must first think about my family first. Consider everyone. If those high-level executives make decisions that are not conducive to future development out of selfishness, I will definitely not be an accomplice."
Shao Qingyi thought that when he watched TV dramas in the past, what he hated the most were those characters who were foolish, loyal and filial.He clearly knew that what he was doing was wrong, but he had to do it because of his position. In the end, he not only forced the audience to eat a knife, but also felt guilty.
"The higher-ups you're talking about, do you mean His Majesty today?" He Changji continued to ask.
"Probably." Shao Qingyi thought for a while and explained, "There are also those civil and military officials."
"You are not selfish." He Changji suddenly smiled and said, "A person like you who cares about the common people is the one who will truly be loved by the common people."
Shao Qingyi couldn't help being a little amused, and said angrily: "You and I are ordinary people, what are you doing discussing these important national affairs? With this time, why not think about how to promote my Huarong Dao."
"You want to sell this?" He Changji guessed his plan when he heard Shao Qingyi's words.
"Well. What I was thinking at the time was that what our Ping An Grocery Store sells are all kinds of novel, delicious and fun things, like Huarong Road and this jigsaw puzzle. They are all toys that exercise thinking and are suitable for all ages. Promote After going out, it should be very effective in establishing the name of our Ping An Grocery Store." Shao Qingyi nodded and replied.
He Changji carefully looked at the two toys in Shao Qingyi's mouth, and then said tactfully: "These two toys should wear out quickly, right? And after seeing it once, it should be easy to imitate it. If more people look at it, it will not become an exclusive product of Ping An Grocery Store.”
Shao Qingyi nodded: "The problem of wear and tear, as long as it is replaced with wood, it will be much better, but the maintenance of this originality really requires us to think carefully."
"Isn't it enough to make a mark?" Cheng An, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Like me and Cheng Ping's clothes and utensils, they are all marked~"
Cheng Ping and Cheng An are twins. Whether it is clothes or utensils, the parents prepare double copies for them.So in order to distinguish them, He Changji embroidered the words "Ping" and "An" on the inside of their clothes.
When Shao Qingyi heard the proposal, she immediately had a flash of inspiration: "Yes, we can make a trademark! Cheng An is really smart. If you hadn't reminded me, Father Mu would have forgotten about this incident."
"Trademark?" Several people had never heard of this word, and they all looked at Shao Qingyi.
The identical expressions of the father and son made Shao Qingyi burst into a chuckle: "A trademark is a pattern or text in a fixed style, which is used to promote and mark the brand owner of the product."
Shao Qingyi explained.
Seeing that He Changji was thoughtful, but the two children were still a little confused, Shao Qingyi took out a piece of paper, wrote the five words "Ping An Grocery Store" on it, and then drew a rectangular frame around the five words. After getting up, some vines and flowers were dotted on the frame.
"Look, like this, it can be used as the trademark of our Ping An Grocery Store." Shao Qingyi said with high spirits while drawing an example picture, "We can brand this logo on all our products, so that other people It’s not that easy to replicate.”
"This trademark is somewhat similar to the craftsman's logo." He Changji pondered, "With this trademark, as long as our products are sold, customers will naturally know the origin of the products through this trademark. There are also benefits for future development.”
"That's right!" Shao Qingyi nodded, "And the blacksmiths outside the village are not as skilled as Brother Gao. Even if they wanted to copy this trademark, it would not be so easy. In this way, our goods will be more recognizable .”
"Then, should there be this trademark on the fried fish nuggets?" Cheng Ping asked stupidly.
Shao Qingyi said with a smile: "For those foods, we can print the trademark on the outer packaging. But speaking of these foods, we really need to think about making a unified packaging, and we can't just wrap it in oil paper."
Shao Qingyi pondered again.
He Changji suggested: "You can go to Zhan's to order a food box and brand our trademark on the food box."
"You're right!" Shao Qingyi said happily, "You're so smart! Why didn't I think of that! I can also customize large-sized food boxes and make them into gift packaging, which will make it easier to sell."
The author has something to say: Second update~
I saw a little angel asking the author where he lives. The author lives in a small third-tier city in the free shipping area~ and the blueberries and lemons the author mentioned are all potted plants. The small ones are not half the height of a person, so the area covered is actually not big~
In addition, the feather vegetables planted two days ago have germinated, and the germination rate of fresh vegetables is really high!Thinking of the flower seeds the author bought before, it’s okay to have a low germination rate, and most of them are not the right ones...so when buying flowers and plants, try to buy big seedlings, which are easy to grow and not easy to be cheated.
感谢在2020-07-0321:56:14~2020-07-0419:53:07期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
Thanks to the little angel of the irrigation nutrient solution: 5 bottles of ugly people and more; 4 bottles of Mr. Lingfu;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

"Yeah!" The two children nodded in unison.
Seeing that the smile on Father Mu's face was a little weaker than before, Cheng An couldn't help asking: "Father Mu, are you a little unhappy today?"
Shao Qingyi didn't expect Cheng An to be so sharp.

The production of the jigsaw puzzle was overturned, and Shao Qingyi continued to make the next toy—Huarongdao.
Compared with Tangram, Huarongdao is more playable and more complicated to make.
Shao Qingyi took out a piece of cloth, first pasted it with paper, then cut out a large square in the center, and finally cut this large square into a small square, four smaller squares and five rectangles, and placed them on the The names of characters from the Three Kingdoms such as "Cao Cao", "Huang Zhong", "Zhao Yun", "Zhang Fei" and "Guan Yu" are written on it.
This toy of Huarong Road is based on the famous story of "Cao Cao's defeat and Huarong Road" in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Cao Cao was defeated by Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and was forced to flee to Huarong Road.
Even though they were all deserters, Cao Cao was very proud and laughed at Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu for not being smart enough to set up an ambush on Huarong Road. As a result, when he laughed, Zhao Yun came out laughing.Thanks to the protection of his subordinates, Cao Cao was able to escape.
It's hard to escape, Cao Cao should calm down, right?He didn't like it, and started to laugh again, but this smile made Zhang Fei laugh.Thanks to the help of Cao Cao's subordinates, he was rescued again and made him escape again.
It is said that there are only three things, but Cao Cao doesn't have a long memory. This third laugh makes Guan Yu laugh.This time Cao Cao's subordinates couldn't beat him, and seeing that it was difficult to escape, Cao Cao talked about his old love.Guan Yu was once favored by Cao Cao. In order to repay the favor, he released the water, which allowed Cao Cao to escape successfully.
The gameplay of Huarong Road is to move the chess pieces blocking "Cao Cao", so that the innermost and largest square "Cao Cao" chess pieces can be moved from the initial position to the opening in the bottom middle of the chessboard to escape the encirclement.
Shao Qingyi took out another complete piece of cloth, pasted it with paper, and pasted the cloth that had been cut into a large square on it, and a chessboard of suitable size was ready.
Shao Qingyi arranged "Cao Cao" and other "characters" in order, and then told the two children that the rules of the game for this toy are to move other "people" away and let "Cao Cao" escape, and the two children came immediately Interested.
At the beginning, they were a little confused, but soon they discovered that the four small squares are the key to moving the rectangle, and only when the rectangle moves can the "Cao Cao" inside come out.
After working outside for a long time, He Changji, who was thirsty and wanted to drink some water, entered the room and saw two children arguing.
Cheng Ping said loudly: "No, no, it should be moved like this!"
Cheng An was not to be outdone: "It's not right for you to do this, you see everyone can't move now!"
Shao Qingyi on the side laughed happily, not trying to persuade a fight at all.
What are the three father and son doing?
He Changji pushed the wheelchair forward curiously, and then saw the children pointing at some objects with strange names written on them, and moving them from time to time.
"What are you doing?" He Changji asked out loud.
"Daddy, daddy, come and help us rescue Cao Cao together!" Cheng Ping asked for help when seeing daddy coming.
"Cao Cao? Who is Cao Cao?" There is no "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in this world, so He Changji naturally doesn't know Cao Cao.
He was a little dazed as he listened to the children finish explaining the game rules of this toy, and then he realized that this was a new toy Shao Qingyi made for the children.
Compared with this toy, he was more interested in the characters on this toy, and his intuition told him that it was impossible for Shao Qingyi to write the names of these people for no reason.
"There should be a story behind this toy, right?" He Changji asked Shao Qingyi, "Huarong Dao sounds like a place name, why is this Cao Cao trapped in Huarong Dao, and why did the people in front stop him? Do you have an explanation?"
Shao Qingyi didn't expect He Changji to be so perceptive, and she guessed most of the story behind Huarong Dao right away.
Hearing Dad's question, the two children also became curious and hurriedly asked Mu's father about Hua Rongdao's story.
Shao Qingyi told the three of them the story behind it in detail.
After listening to the story of "Cao Cao's defeat in Huarong Road", Cheng Ping said old-fashionedly: "So, you can't be too complacent in life. Cao Cao is too complacent, that's why he gets slapped in the face again and again!"
Cheng Ping had just learned the word face slap from his mother's father not long ago, but now he is able to learn it and use it flexibly.
Cheng An is not very interested in this kind of battlefield story, but just thinks that Cao Cao's three laughs and three enemies are a bit amusing.
He Changji commented from the battle itself: "Although the military strategist Zhuge Liang thought carefully and deliberately placed Guan Yu in the last pass, he still underestimated the hearts of the people. There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and this Guan Yu is loyal to righteousness but not to the king." .”
After hearing He Changji's evaluation, Shao Qingyi said with a smile: "It's just a story, why think so much? Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been in a dilemma. It's better to follow your own heart and do things that are truly worthy of you."
When He Changji heard this, he took a deep look at Shao Qingyi, then suddenly smiled and asked, "From what you've said, it seems that you don't intend to be loyal to His Majesty today?"
Shao Qingyi was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why He Changji mentioned this suddenly.But he still replied bluntly: "Let's not talk about a country man like me, who has no chance to be loyal to the country at all. Even if there is a chance, a selfish person like me must first think about my family first. Consider everyone. If those high-level executives make decisions that are not conducive to future development out of selfishness, I will definitely not be an accomplice."
Shao Qingyi thought that when he watched TV dramas in the past, what he hated the most were those characters who were foolish, loyal and filial.He clearly knew that what he was doing was wrong, but he had to do it because of his position. In the end, he not only forced the audience to eat a knife, but also felt guilty.
"The higher-ups you're talking about, do you mean His Majesty today?" He Changji continued to ask.
"Probably." Shao Qingyi thought for a while and explained, "There are also those civil and military officials."
"You are not selfish." He Changji suddenly smiled and said, "A person like you who cares about the common people is the one who will truly be loved by the common people."
Shao Qingyi couldn't help being a little amused, and said angrily: "You and I are ordinary people, what are you doing discussing these important national affairs? With this time, why not think about how to promote my Huarong Dao."
"You want to sell this?" He Changji guessed his plan when he heard Shao Qingyi's words.
"Well. What I was thinking at the time was that what our Ping An Grocery Store sells are all kinds of novel, delicious and fun things, like Huarong Road and this jigsaw puzzle. They are all toys that exercise thinking and are suitable for all ages. Promote After going out, it should be very effective in establishing the name of our Ping An Grocery Store." Shao Qingyi nodded and replied.
He Changji carefully looked at the two toys in Shao Qingyi's mouth, and then said tactfully: "These two toys should wear out quickly, right? And after seeing it once, it should be easy to imitate it. If more people look at it, it will not become an exclusive product of Ping An Grocery Store.”
Shao Qingyi nodded: "The problem of wear and tear, as long as it is replaced with wood, it will be much better, but the maintenance of this originality really requires us to think carefully."
"Isn't it enough to make a mark?" Cheng An, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Like me and Cheng Ping's clothes and utensils, they are all marked~"
Cheng Ping and Cheng An are twins. Whether it is clothes or utensils, the parents prepare double copies for them.So in order to distinguish them, He Changji embroidered the words "Ping" and "An" on the inside of their clothes.
When Shao Qingyi heard the proposal, she immediately had a flash of inspiration: "Yes, we can make a trademark! Cheng An is really smart. If you hadn't reminded me, Father Mu would have forgotten about this incident."
"Trademark?" Several people had never heard of this word, and they all looked at Shao Qingyi.
The identical expressions of the father and son made Shao Qingyi burst into a chuckle: "A trademark is a pattern or text in a fixed style, which is used to promote and mark the brand owner of the product."
Shao Qingyi explained.
Seeing that He Changji was thoughtful, but the two children were still a little confused, Shao Qingyi took out a piece of paper, wrote the five words "Ping An Grocery Store" on it, and then drew a rectangular frame around the five words. After getting up, some vines and flowers were dotted on the frame.
"Look, like this, it can be used as the trademark of our Ping An Grocery Store." Shao Qingyi said with high spirits while drawing an example picture, "We can brand this logo on all our products, so that other people It’s not that easy to replicate.”
"This trademark is somewhat similar to the craftsman's logo." He Changji pondered, "With this trademark, as long as our products are sold, customers will naturally know the origin of the products through this trademark. There are also benefits for future development.”
"That's right!" Shao Qingyi nodded, "And the blacksmiths outside the village are not as skilled as Brother Gao. Even if they wanted to copy this trademark, it would not be so easy. In this way, our goods will be more recognizable .”
"Then, should there be this trademark on the fried fish nuggets?" Cheng Ping asked stupidly.
Shao Qingyi said with a smile: "For those foods, we can print the trademark on the outer packaging. But speaking of these foods, we really need to think about making a unified packaging, and we can't just wrap it in oil paper."
Shao Qingyi pondered again.
He Changji suggested: "You can go to Zhan's to order a food box and brand our trademark on the food box."
"You're right!" Shao Qingyi said happily, "You're so smart! Why didn't I think of that! I can also customize large-sized food boxes and make them into gift packaging, which will make it easier to sell."
The author has something to say: Second update~
I saw a little angel asking the author where he lives. The author lives in a small third-tier city in the free shipping area~ and the blueberries and lemons the author mentioned are all potted plants. The small ones are not half the height of a person, so the area covered is actually not big~
In addition, the feather vegetables planted two days ago have germinated, and the germination rate of fresh vegetables is really high!Thinking of the flower seeds the author bought before, it’s okay to have a low germination rate, and most of them are not the right ones...so when buying flowers and plants, try to buy big seedlings, which are easy to grow and not easy to be cheated.
感谢在2020-07-0321:56:14~2020-07-0419:53:07期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
Thanks to the little angel of the irrigation nutrient solution: 5 bottles of ugly people and more; 4 bottles of Mr. Lingfu;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
