Chapter 141 Engagement
Engagement, also known as marriage contract.

According to Chinese folk customs, there is usually an engagement ceremony before marriage: signing a marriage contract, exchanging gifts, or setting up a matchmaker, etc.

Jiang Liu and Li Xing's engagement ceremony would not be so troublesome.

The two of them are in free love, and first omit the matchmaker.

There is no marriage contract.

The ancestors of the Jiang and Li families were all common people, not aristocrats or prominent families, and they did not pay attention to red tape such as making a marriage contract.

The parents of both parties made a verbal agreement that on March 3 of the lunar calendar next year, when the Jiang family has a son, Jiang Liu, and he marries the daughter of the Li family, Li Xing, the marriage of the two descendants will be confirmed.

Of course there can’t be too many gifts.

Livestock such as cattle, pigs and sheep are exempted if possible, mainly three kinds of gold and clothing.

The three pieces of gold were placed on the table, and the Li family gave back a few quilts and a washing machine.

Li Xing, who was dressed in a bright red wedding dress, also put on Jiang Liu's watch again, which Jiang Liu had just taken off in the morning.

After completing the engagement process in less than an hour, the Jiang and Li families, along with their relatives and friends Zhao Wenhong, Zhou Guoshan, and Li Yong, sat or stood in the yard to bask in the sun, chat, and wait for the chef to serve the food.

Under the warm sun, Jiang Liu happily spit out melon seed shells. He and Li Xin listened to the two mothers telling interesting stories about their childhood, and then Zhou Guoshan said: "Brother, I am going to add two production lines for mineral water to the factory. "

"Producing mineral water? Can you beat Wahaha and Nongfu Spring?"

Jiang Liu looked past Li Xing beside him and towards Zhou Guoshan, who had a sudden thought.

Can he not know how to make money from mineral water?

But the natural water market was occupied earlier.

Nongfu Spring’s approach to developing the mineral water market is similar to Gengtian Gong’s approach to developing the herbal tea market.

Nongfu Spring was established in 96 and became famous in 97 with the advertising slogan "Nongfu Spring is a little sweet".

As of this year, AC Nielsen, the world's largest market research institution, still calls the national brand Nongfu Spring one of the seven most popular brands in the Chinese consumer goods market.

The ranking is even higher than that of Gengtian Gong, who is new to the list this year.

Jiang Liu was not optimistic about Gengtian Gong going to produce water, and gave a suggestion: "Why don't you first stabilize Gengtian Gong's herbal tea market and win the advertising space for this year's Spring Festival Gala?"

"Well, the advertising budget for next year will be as high as 1500 million."

Zhou Guoshan sighed: "But if you don't make water, what will you do? I read that if you don't worry about the future, you will have immediate worries. You can't just rely on a herbal tea."

"That's true."

Jiang Liu frowned and thought for a while, then asked after deliberation: "How about trying to make breast milk?"

Jiang Liu was pushed by Li Xin and realized: "I mean milk, milk powder, cheese, a whole range of dairy products, life will get better in the future, people will have money, everyone will drink milk, there are so many in China Man, the market is huge.”

Jiang Liu didn't know if the direction of producing milk was right.

He knew that there was no Deluxe or Anmuxi at the moment.

Breakfast milk in well-to-do families is still consumed by subscription. There is a lot of space in the milk market, and the farmland is owned by the public. If you have money, it is worth a try.

Zhou Guoshan was hesitant. It was relatively easy for Farmer to make drinks and water. There were plenty of fruit fields and clean water resources.

When it comes to making milk, the place where the milk comes from is very troublesome.

"Da Shan, why are you hesitating? Brother Liu'er's vision is not wrong. The economy will definitely be good, and milk will definitely become an indispensable drink for families in the future."

Li Yong laughed and scolded Zhou Guoshan.

He works in express delivery and logistics and has the most data.

Just by looking at express delivery orders and freight orders in 2002, we can see that China's economy is growing rapidly.

When people have money, their first expense must be food and drink, so Li Yong is extremely optimistic about milk becoming a fast-moving consumer product.

In his heart, he envied the farmers of Zhou Guoshan for being able to develop vertically, while Gale Logistics was very stubborn and could only go one way to the end.

"Okay, I'll call an expert to research a milk."

Zhou Guoshan walked away and made a phone call. Li Yong turned to Jiang Liu and asked for money. He wanted to build a warehouse.

This year, Gale Logistics worked with a farmer and worked in a legal large-scale logistics business that the postal service had no control over for several months. Li Yong made a solid amount of money and bought a lot of cars.

This little money is barely enough to buy a car, hire employees, and maintain the company.

Regional competition with large express delivery companies is a drop in the bucket.

"How much do you want?" Jiang Liu asked.

"The more, the better." Li Yong said without hesitation.Jiang Liu was speechless: "Do you think I have a money printing machine at home? Is 1000 million enough? Zhou Guoshan has never asked for so much money from me."

Li Yong grinned and said excitedly: "That's enough for now."

"When doing business legally, don't go to extremes." Jiang Liu reminded Li Yong.

He didn't have much control over Li Yong, but according to Zhou Guoshan, there were a lot of knives, sticks and other weapons in the car of the Gale Logistics Transport Farmer.

This company seems to be walking on a sea of ​​swords and fire, which worries him the most.

Zhou Guoshan and Li Yong accompanied Jiang Liu to discuss business until dinner, when Zhao Wenhong and Lu Ting came back from outside with a marshmallow in their mouth.

"Boss, it's time to eat."

"Okay, you guys also come to the table and eat together." Jiang Liu said to the chef.

The chef hired was a dedicated chef from Yixin, who was invited by Jiang Liu to help during the National Day holiday.

"No, there are still a few dishes left to be cooked." The chef said politely and trotted out of the yard and into the second floor.

"Uncle Li, auntie, don't be restrained. Li Wei, take care of your parents, pick up food or something."

After going to the restaurant on the second floor and everyone sat down, Jiang Liu looked at Li Xing's parents and younger brother and said.

The two old men nodded reluctantly.

The two of them had the same expressions as Li Qin and Jiang Shengli when they entered Jiang's residence. It was really hard to know what kind of son-in-law they would find if they didn't enter Jiang's residence.

After walking around this house and yard, I heard that Jiang could not move 1000 million to others. How could ordinary people not be restrained?

Even his son Li Wei, who is studying at university in the capital, usually smiles and smiles, but now he is a little nervous.

Simply put, Jiang Shengli and Li Qin have been hanging out in the market all year round, and they know how to talk to others, so that the atmosphere at the dinner table will not become cold.

It took half a day to eat and chat. After dinner, everyone visited the Forbidden City and it was time for dinner.

After drinking continuously, Jiang Liu was not doing well. Instead, Jiang Shengli, who frequently clinked glasses with his in-laws, walked around drunkenly.

Jiang Shengli had just been in Jiangzhai for a few days, and he was not familiar with the area. He rushed around and almost fell into the pond, which made Li Qin grit his teeth in anger.

"Okay, you guys also drank a lot of red wine, go back to the backyard and sleep."

"Okay, Tingting, if you need anything, call Big Brother from the extension phone."

"Brother, I know."

Li Qin urged: "It's nothing, you two go back."

After leaving the waiting room, Jiang Liu and Li Xi clasped their fingers and walked toward the back house, walking smoothly. Under the moonlight, Li Xi suddenly said shyly, "I'm going to take a shower first."

"Just take a shower, take a shower every day, why are you running?"

Jiang Liu disapprovingly entered the master bedroom and waited for Li Xin to finish taking a bath and change himself.

Who would have thought that Li Xin's bath was so dark that if any bathhouse welcomed several customers like her, it would probably go bankrupt.

He almost fell asleep while waiting, when Li Min's cat-like meowing sounded outside the door.

"You won't sleep in the side room or on the floor tonight, but will you sleep in my room?"

Jiang Liu joked around every day, but seeing Li Xin being silent, Jiang Liu felt like he was asking for trouble and yawned and walked to the bathroom.

After taking a shower for a few minutes, he lazily entered the house. Jiang Liu swept away his depression in an instant, jumped onto the bed and squeezed into the bed.

"My goodness, I, Jiang Liu'er, can finally break the precept today!"

"You damn thing, don't yell, it will be embarrassing for your parents to hear that."

"No, they are in the side room, far away." As Jiang Liu spoke, he tremblingly took off the clothes that were in the way of the two of them.

He himself wondered, how could he, a veteran in love, still have trembling hands, when he really couldn't get what he wanted and was always in turmoil?

After a more passionate kiss than the previous ones, Li Xin's cheeks and body seemed to have been stained with a layer of red. Realizing that she was emotionally moved, she shouted: "Turn off the light."

"it is good."

The last step is to ask Jiang Liu to turn off the lights, just ask him to do 500 push-ups.

The lights went out, and a ray of moonlight filtered through the gap in the curtains, casting a hazy wedding dress over the entangled two people in the room.

The red-stained white strips bear witness to the love and infatuation of a young man and woman.
