Naturally, Sun Weiguo would not poach his own company. Besides, the Sun family is far from having a private fashion designer.
However, Helena's words suddenly brought everyone closer together. The atmosphere at the dinner table became more harmonious.
Helena is an omnivore, not only a big eater, but also loves delicious food. After living in Xiangjiang for two years, she has naturally been conquered by Chinese food.
Especially since she is Italian and has little resistance to all kinds of noodles. So she was particularly satisfied with her meal today.
She put the cooked white noodles on the plate, poured the marinated noodles over them, and then stirred them with a fork to eat. This way of eating pasta, as well as eating Chinese-style braised noodles, made everyone look a little funny.
According to her, her grandmother was a master of pasta and could make more than thirty different kinds of pasta.
Jiang Xiuping and the others were immediately in awe, unaware that Helena was actually a descendant of a master chef.
Sun Dahai disagreed. Italians are romantic and like to exaggerate. If a kind of noodle is pressed out of a different mold, they will regard it as a new noodle.
According to official publicity in the previous life, rough statistics show that there are more than 500 types of pasta. I just don’t know how many types of noodles there are in the vast Chinese food culture using this caliber.
I don't know if there are tens of thousands, but there will always be three to five thousand kinds. If Sun Dahai is willing, he can easily make hundreds of kinds of noodles with some effort.
Italy not only has pasta, but also food recipes similar to Chinese dumplings and ravioli.
Some scholars have done relevant research and said that these Chinese food recipes were introduced to Italy by Marco Polo. Sun Dahai did not have any expertise in history, but he always believed it.
After dinner, Big Fat drove Huang Feifei and Helena back to their respective residences. Even though the design draft had been initially finalized, Helena still had a lot of work to do.
With Helena's ability, the windbreaker will be finalized soon. At that time, it will need to be made into ready-made clothes and sent to Xiangjiang. Fa Ge will be asked to try them on and have Director Wu review them.
However, in the current domestic market, let alone good clothing fabrics, you may not be able to find suitable accessories such as zippers and buttons.
When preparing to design school uniforms, Helena went to Hanzheng Street Market in person to look for suitable accessories. It is known as the largest and most comprehensive small commodity wholesale market in China, but in fact most of them are low-end products. Zhichenyang
It seems to have many styles and is cheap, but it is not of a high quality. In terms of accessories material, design and quality, there is nothing high-end.
School uniforms do not have very high requirements for these, and they are acceptable. Helena’s design uses products from several manufacturers on Hanzheng Street.
However, the windbreakers currently being produced are mainly for foreign markets, and we must not fool people like this.
Xiangjiang is known as the capital of fashion. It cannot be said that everyone understands clothing, but at least they have many different grades of clothing around them, and these can all be compared with each other.
Although the windbreaker to be exported this time will be mainly sold through the influence of the movie, if the style, fabric, workmanship and accessories of the windbreaker are too poor, then even if it takes advantage of the general trend, it will not be sold at a good price.
.
Huang Feifei made a good suggestion. She asked Helena to take the design drawings and go directly back to Xiangjiang to find fabrics and accessories, and make performance clothes for Fa Ge.
At the same time, we are looking for manufacturers of these fabrics and accessories, and in the name of Lanceli Clothing Company, we can provide the raw materials needed for domestic production through processing of supplied materials.
Helena was just a fashion designer and didn't understand these business applications, but Sun Dahai knew it in his heart. He agreed with Huang Feifei's suggestion and asked her to find Wu Dawei and let Huanyu Trading Company help handle it.
In fact, it doesn't mean much if Sun Dahai doesn't say this. The father and mother must have communicated with each other in private.
Huanyu Trading Company specializes in international trade. It handles these matters with ease and is definitely much more professional than Huang Feifei.
The matter of the windbreaker is like this for now. Sun Dahai helped Landa Garment Factory set up a platform, gave it a chance, and then withdrew.
The next few days passed uneventfully. Sun Dahai went to school every day, listened to Qiao Wanting's situation at night, and calculated how much money he earned, and that was it.
On National Day, Sun Dahai received a lot of calls. Among them were calls from Battelle to report on his work, and calls from Gao Yi to talk about his study and life in Xiangjiang.
After answering the phone, Sun Dahai thought about the days when they were together. However, before Sun Dahai could be depressed for a few more days, Sun Weimin, who came to the capital for a meeting after the National Day, helped him solve the problem.
Sun Weimin came to the capital with him, in addition to his orderly Xiao Hu, and his aunt Niu Hong.
No regrets, two vast memories of each other
Sun Weimin was on duty during the Spring Festival this year, so they did not come back. Next year it will be Niu Hong's turn, and they will not be able to go home for the New Year for two consecutive years.
It happened that Sun Weimin was coming for a meeting, so Niu Hong took family leave and followed him back to the capital.
They didn't get home until late in the evening, and everyone was waiting for them at home. Because today was not a day off, Jiang Xiuping went to the school to take home Sun Yuanyuan and Sun Dahe, who were living on campus.
When relatives meet, it is natural to be affectionate.
Xiao Hu has been to the house several times. After saying hello, he and the driver moved things out of the car.
It happens to be autumn now, and Sun Weimin has brought back many Northeastern specialties, including whole bags of pine nuts and hazelnuts, as well as dried mushrooms.
Sun Dahai remembers that every time Sun Weimin returned home in his previous life, he brought back all kinds of meat. Although the family was not short of money at that time, the food provided by ticket was still relatively scarce, especially meat.
There are three growing children in the family. Ever since Chef Cao and his wife went to Xiangjiang, they began to feel that the meat tickets were not enough. At that time, the family was more abiding by the rules and would not buy on the black market.
After Sun Dahai was reborn, everything was different. Not only did his family have more and more money, but their quality of life also skyrocketed.
Nowadays, the Sun family has no shortage of fish, shrimps, meat and eggs, and winter vegetables can be eaten as much as you like, because at Sun Dahai’s suggestion, Decoration Life has set up a greenhouse, which is managed by the Food and Real Estate Department and is dedicated to growing fresh vegetables.
Seasonal vegetables.
Although these dishes are not sold to the outside world and are only supplied to staff restaurants and school cafeterias, they are indispensable for Sun Dahai's family, who makes his family the boss of the company.
The villagers of Qianjiachuan Village were inspired by this, and many families set up greenhouses in their contracted fields to grow vegetables all year round.
The money the villagers paid for installing the greenhouses came from bank loans. Anyway, Li Yongchao, the son of the old village chief Li Zhong, is in charge of the district Agricultural Bank of China, so he will not cheat everyone.
No. 9 Hotpot Restaurant and Suiyuijinghao Cafe are economically independent, and they need a large amount of vegetables, so they have signed long-term purchase contracts with many villagers and do not follow the company's line.
