Chapter 95

Behind the 23rd branch was an ordinary street. Since the first state-owned department store of Huancheng was built across the street and two state-owned restaurants were opened one after another, this street has become the only commercial street in Huancheng.

With the reform and opening up and the implementation of the household contract responsibility system, suburban farmers began to peddle some surplus agricultural and sideline products in the city. Because of the busy flow of people, the commercial street behind the factory became the preferred place for suburban farmers to sell. Because of this, although the street behind the factory is not prosperous, it is very busy.

Today, the street is as prosperous as ever. The state-owned hotels are in full swing. The private shops in the corner are selling noisily. The farmers in plain clothes on both sides of the street put their stalls in full swing, and the streets are not wide enough.

But the people on the street don't complain. They push bicycles or carry vegetable baskets. When they see the right one, they stop to inquire about the price, and the right one will bargain. Occasionally, a few bear children gallop among them, which leads to a burst of laughter and abuse from adults.

Chen Defa of No.23 factory is an old neighbor of this street. Before expansion, he was an employee of the old collective factory. After upgrading to a branch of Yonghong factory, 45 year old Chen Defa joined No.23 factory. Over the past 20 years, Chen Defa has done almost all kinds of work. It's hard to say that he is proficient, but he can do some small and piecemeal work easily.

So Chen Defa is often asked by his neighbors to pick up a meter or change a faucet. Chen Defa never refuses, which makes him have a good reputation in this street.

Therefore, whenever Chen Defa passes through this street, people will come forward to say hello.

Today is no exception. After a few words of greeting with two old neighbors, I went to the store just opened in the factory. After a look around, I said to two old vegetable salesmen who stood in the way: "excuse me, two of you. Can you let TM open today?"

The two old men were very interested. Seeing that they were really in the way of business, they nodded their heads and apologized. Then they carried the burden to one side. Chen Defa took out the key and was ready to open the door.

"Yo ~ ~ I said, Lao Chen, when did you become an individual? What, is there something wrong with the factory? "

An old lady with a vegetable basket was surprised to see Chen Defa open the door. She spoke straightforwardly and quickly, with a little regret in the middle. It's impossible for a state-owned factory to have much more status than a self-employed one these days.

When Chen Defa heard the speech, he laughed. As soon as he wanted to explain, he saw an old man with gray hair coming quickly and pointing to the shop: "Xiao Chen, these days, I've heard from my family that what new projects are going to be carried out in the factory. Do you have a good talk with Uncle Zhang

As soon as Uncle Zhang opened his mouth, other people around him gathered around him and kept asking. There was no way. Many families in this street had one or two working in the 23rd branch factory. If there was any trend in the factory, they would naturally care about it.

"Everybody, everybody ~ ~ not as you think, there are new products in the factory." Then he pointed to the shop in front of him: "no, in order to show the new products in the factory, the new factory director Zhuang specially changed an empty factory into a shop, just to make it convenient for everyone to taste for free."

As soon as you listen to the free taste, the eyes of the people around you suddenly light up. The boys with cigarettes on the outside yell impatiently: "is everyone free?"

"Of course, but the number is limited. Please line up, one for each." Chen Defa responded with a smile.

"Hurry up ~ ~ alas ~ ~ don't squeeze, I'm standing in front of you ~ ~"

as soon as Chen Dehua's voice fell, the crowd immediately began to stir up. In the era when most of the materials still need to be purchased by ticket, there were free samples? God, there is such a good thing, so the people on the street, regardless of men, women, old and young, rushed to the store of No.23 branch factory, and soon formed a long line.

Seeing this, Chen Defa's eyes almost narrowed. In the crowd's impatient urge, he took out the key to open the door, and immediately heard bursts of uncontrollable exclamations.

I saw two hand-painted posters standing in the store. One of them was an ice-cream with a hat in the shape of a face. The composition was simple, but it was extremely lovely. It was delicious at first sight.

On another poster, it was written "congratulations to the 23rd factory for winning the gold medal of the 6th Pacific cold drink conference."

In the middle is a banner, which reads: "gold medal villain ice cream, give back to Huancheng people!"

To see this scene, people who have already lined up in a long line are all a little confused, villain ice cream? And won the prize? Looks like an international prize? Why don't I know?

At the moment when everyone was dazed, Chen Defa took a tin bucket from the staff inside, and yelled at the top of his voice: "Gold Award ice cream, one by one, everyone should consciously maintain it, just pay attention to safety."

Then he took the lead to take a villain ice cream and handed it to a young man at the front. The young man took it and took a joyful bite. A strong chocolate flavor that he had never tasted made his whole person excited. In addition, it was hot at the end of May, and the cold taste was more comfortable than words.

At last, a thousand words turned into an angry praise: "Bashi deban! (Sichuan dialect, good meaning)With the first, there will be the second and the third

In this era of material shortage, there are ice-cream, but there are no ice-cream with chocolate and cream flavor. The sensational effect of such villain ice-cream can be imagined. The people who receive ice-cream are full of praise while eating it. Some old men who love current affairs are full of emotion. They are worthy of international awards. The taste of ice-cream is too good to say.

However, most of them are smart people who are crazy about eating. After swallowing a Lilliputian ice cream, they touch their mouth and then continue to line up. How can they eat such a delicious food?

Chen Defa had expected this and personally picked out several people who repeatedly received the ice cream. However, no matter how bad his eyes were, he couldn't hold many people. There were always some fish who missed the net, which made Chen Defa sweat a lot in a short time.

"One hundred and fifty more, stop!"

Zhuang Jianye came to the factory early in the morning. After checking the production status of Lilliputian ice cream in the workshop, he came to the new store and found that the effect was better than expected, so he decisively adjusted the scale of "feedback".

Then he was ready to leave, because Wang Heping was waiting for him to arrange the next publicity activities, but before he went out, Chen Defa came panting: "factory director, factory director ~ ~ there is a reporter from the daily outside..."

"Reporter?"

"Yes." Chen Defa is just like doing the same thing that he has done. He has an old face like chrysanthemum: "after eating the ice cream, he takes out a small book and asks me when we won the prize. I can't answer at all. Are we exposed, factory director?"
