If you don’t give moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, what should you give?

Mid-Autumn Festival, someone gave me a box of mooncakes

Original Wang Xiaisi 60 Degrees

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

All kinds of mooncakes are basically competing in the market.

A box of mooncakes costs more than 300 yuan, or 400 yuan, which is not uncommon.

Personally I quite like snow skin mooncakes.

Many people don’t know how snowskin mooncakes are made:

In fact, the skin of snowskin mooncakes is basically made of glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour, clear noodles, and cream. Made from milk and a small amount of sugar, steamed and cooled.

The fillings are the same as ordinary mooncakes.

Snowskin mooncakes do not need to be baked, are simple to make, and require little oil and less sugar.

Compared with ordinary mooncakes, it is low in sugar, oil and calories.

Those who don’t like heat can eat this.

Snowskin mooncakes are basically transparent white and look very nice. They can also be made into colors by adding different ingredients, which is very beautiful.

So compared to ordinary mooncakes, I think snowskin mooncakes are more attractive to me.

As for the taste, the snowskin mooncakes are soft, sticky and rich when you eat them in your mouth.

But it is not suitable for gifts, but suitable for home consumption.

Why?

Snowskin mooncakes may feel more like snacks. They are simple and delicious, but many of them will become hard the next day if left unused.

If the leader forgets to eat it the next day, or puts it in the refrigerator, it will be hard when he takes it out.

You may also suspect that what I sent is a defective product.

A few days ago, Sister Mei called me and asked me to come over and get mooncakes.

I have never been there, so I might as well go there if I have some free time today.

Sister Mei, she was originally an English teacher, but later she went to work.

The reason why I went to sea must be that I didn’t earn much as a teacher.

A few days ago, I asked a teacher from my former school. He was a mathematics teacher who taught high school students for ten years. He was very popular with students and even won first place in the school in class competitions.

She said her annual income now is a little more than 50,000, which is a bit higher than a few years ago, but not much.

So she and her husband also opened a Taobao store to supplement their family income.

I don’t think there have been many rumors about the general salary of teachers in recent years.

Sister Mei is engaged in foreign trade business.

English teachers have a unique advantage in doing foreign trade.

She can use MSN to answer questions flexibly with foreigners.

But we ordinary people cannot rely on translation software.

A major is a major, and a career is a career!

She mainly makes small flower basket crafts. Don’t underestimate these small flower baskets, they are all exquisite.

Then sell it all over the world.

Australia and Canada are the most livable cities for Chinese people!

Sister Mei has many friends in these two countries.

To put it bluntly, it’s like the Chinese in Australia helping her with sales.

Then introduce her to local people in Australia.

That should be the case.

In the beginning, she was a handicraft workshop, but now? Still handmade.

I once asked her why not replace it with machines.

She said that machines can never produce the artistic feeling of handwork.

I don’t quite understand, but I always believe in the power of the Industrial Revolution.

However, the number of employees has increased from three to more than thirty now.

Her factory is in her own home.

It is usually closed because she does not need to sell her products to local people.

They are all for external sales.

How do I know her?

One year, none of her computers could connect to the Internet, and then one of her computers couldn't be turned on.

The maintenance staff she hired temporarily returned to their hometown due to something else.

At that time, she wanted to negotiate a big business deal with people in Australia.

What if there is no Internet?

I looked for many people and finally found me because I am relatively leisurely.

I don’t know if I can do it for her. Anyway, it was introduced by a friend of a friend of a friend.

I went there alone.

She is enthusiastic and has a generous manner.

Later, I realized that she was actually the one person supporting the entire family.

My husband passed away due to illness a few years ago.

So, a strong woman is basically forced by life.

After a brief chat, I went to check her network.

Later, I found out that there was a line that was broken. I guessed it was a mouse because it was in the storage bin.

I bought a new pair, and then bought a few RJ-45 crystal heads. Each crystal head costs about 50 cents.

Then I borrowed a pair of network cable pliers and finally fixed the network again.

It’s actually a small thing, but it took me a long morning and I was sweating profusely.

First, you need to buy network cables, and secondly, you need to borrow network cable pliers. Going back and forth is actually very time-consuming.

Because of this, Sister Mei will send me a box of mooncakes every Mid-Autumn Festival.

Thinking about it this way, it has been many years, and I feel very embarrassed.

She always said that if I hadn’t stepped forward, her business wouldn’t have been possible.

To be honest, I think everything is really a very small matter.

However, I really don’t know how to clamp network cables or crystal heads anymore.

There are eight colors in the network cable: orange-white, orange, green-white, blue, blue-white, green, brown-white, and brown.

If the order is wrong, the signal will not pass.

Sometimes, I really can’t remember, and it feels very troublesome.

Therefore, when others say that the crystal head is broken, I dare not say anything.

If you don’t say anything, it means you don’t know how to do it!

Sister Mei, I was really embarrassed to ask me to get the mooncakes.

Therefore, before going, I also bought some other gifts, including tea, for her.

People must be courteous and don’t take everything for granted.

When I first entered her office, I found that it had been renovated, bigger, brighter and more open.

And very impressive.

Use a big banner to write: "Tranquility reaches far".

Many bosses like to write these words in their offices. Why?

Tranquility and far-reaching means that it can be self-cultivation and inspiration, cultivate sentiment and demonstrate taste. The calligraphy can be hung in your living room, study room, company office, teahouse, or hotel.

I said to Sister Mei: "Sister Mei, she is peaceful and far-reaching. She is so powerful. Who wrote it?"

She said: "A friend, he wrote dozens of calligraphy "

I said: "Compared with me, my skills are still a bit lacking."

She was surprised: "You can also calligraphy?"

I said: "It's not that I know it, I'm proficient, and I'm a member of the Chinese Calligraphy Association."

She was even more surprised: "You are from the Calligraphy Association, how difficult is it?"

p>

I said: "It's from China, not the local area, the city, or the province."

She didn't believe it: "It's too difficult, it seems there aren't many like this in the local area." "

I knew she didn't believe it, so I opened my phone, found some photos, and said to her, "Look at what's in the photos."

Here, there is a group photo of me and several calligraphers, and the Chinese Calligraphy Association is in the background.

I said to her: "Have you heard of these contemporary calligraphers, Ouyang Jianghe and Yu Mingquan?"

Actually, I knew she had never heard of them. Who Have you heard of it?

Unless you really do calligraphy.

She said: "Never heard of it!"

I said: "I am friends with them!"

She seemed to be even less convinced.

I pointed at the photo and said: "Who is this, who is this, how famous I am, and where am I?"

The photo was taken perfectly, but in fact, I am just me. I attended one of their calligraphy exhibitions in Shenzhen and took a photo with them.

Actually, it’s fake!

I can’t read a single Chinese character. What kind of calligrapher am I? It’s impossible! But I can do some calligraphy, which is true again.

She said: "Can you really write?"

I replied: "It's true!"

I thought to myself, who can't write? Woolen cloth?

Sometimes, when people tell lies, they don’t even blink, which really makes the other person misunderstand.

I said to her: "Tranquility and Zhiyuan, do you know where it comes from?"

Sister Mei said: "I don't know!"

I said: " I don’t know, you asked someone to write it again?”

She said: “Everyone likes to write this, it shows peace of mind!”

I said: “Zhuge Liang wrote it! !”

She didn’t believe it.

Okay! I quote a passage:

"The Book of Commandments"

Han Dynasty Zhuge Liang

The journey of a husband and a gentleman,

quietly cultivate one's character and be thrifty To cultivate virtue;

Without indifference, there is no clear ambition;

Without tranquility, there is no way to reach far.

Studying requires tranquility, and talent requires learning;

Without learning, there is no way to expand talents, and without ambition, there is no way to achieve learning.

If you are shy and slow, you will not be able to cultivate your energy.

If you are impatient, you will not be able to cultivate your nature.

The years go by with the times, and the thoughts go with the sun.

Then they become withered and withered, and most of them do not survive the world.

If you stay in a poor house with sorrow, what will happen to you!

I said: "Without indifference, there is no clear ambition, and without tranquility, there is no way to reach far. These two sentences are a must-have poetry test in high school every year. Isn't it just tranquility that leads to far away!"

She Said: "It turns out that it was really written by Zhuge Liang, which is awesome!"

I said: "Zhuge Liang believes in the power of tranquility. A person, outstanding or excellent, likes to be alone and talk to himself. Only through tranquility can we cultivate our body and mind. If we cannot calm down and reflect, we cannot effectively plan for the future, and the first condition for learning is a peaceful environment."

She said: "I also often do this. A person closes the door and thinks. "

I said: "The power of tranquility is like water, containing the power of all things, undercurrents and adaptability."

She said: "Quietness is used to cultivate one's morality, and frugality is used to cultivate virtue. I'm talking about frugality!"

I said: "Prudent financial management and living within one's means can not only get rid of the trouble of debt, but also lead a simple life. , and will not become a slave to material things.”

She said: “In this regard, we have done relatively well financially and have always acted within our capabilities. A few years ago, someone asked us to set up a branch factory. Branch. I refused. I think quality is very important. In addition, if it is a branch factory, if the management is not in place, there will be serious waste.”

I said: “This is right, it’s not ethical. Coordination is the most difficult. You must develop slowly. Only by slowly planning your career and not pursuing fame and fortune can you understand your ambitions. Only by calming down can you carefully plan for the future and ultimately create better products. "

She asked: "The years go by with the times, and the thoughts go with the sun, and then they become withered, and many of them are no longer able to take on the world. How will it be possible to live in a poor house with sorrow! What does this sentence mean?"

I said: "Zhuge Liang warned us that time flies, and willpower will wear away with time. "If a young man does not work hard, he will be sad." Time management is a modern concept. If you think about it carefully, time cannot Being managed 24 hours a day, no more, no less, you can only manage yourself and make good use of every minute."

She had some realization: "That's it."

< p>In fact, sometimes, I feel that in any era, Zhuge Liang could write a philosophy of life that will be appreciated by future generations. It is not that extraordinary!

Sister Mei said: "How about we have lunch together? I'll ask a few middle-level people in the company to go with us."

I said: "No, no, no, I want to go back."

p>

She said: "You don't have to go to work anymore? What are you going to do when you go back?"

I said: "I also have my own things to do?"

She Said: "How much time can I take for you to have a meal! That's it."

It seems that hospitality is hard to refuse, guests can do as they please, it doesn't matter.

The meal was arranged at a villa. In fact, I basically knew her management team.

It’s just that a new girl has been added. She is quite beautiful, and she uses cosmetics, which is not bad!

I haven’t seen it anyway.

Sister Mei introduced her: "New here, working in marketing."

Sister Mei introduced me: "Old friend, by the way, computer engineer.

”

I quickly talked: “He’s the computer repairman.” ”

She was very proactive and said to add WeChat.

I took out the QR code and asked her to scan it.

After that, she didn’t speak.

There are so many people, what can I say?

I browsed her circle of friends photo album.

If you look at her circle of friends, they are all high-class people. They usually play guzheng, paint oil paintings, do aerobics, and occasionally participate in hiking and cycling.

When I saw it, I felt that it was fake. /p>

I am on the same page as the "Chinese Calligraphy Association"

It's just that she is a master.

She knows how to package herself so that she seems to be among the people and higher than the average person, which will give others the illusion that, wow, it turns out that by making this product, you can achieve financial freedom, and you can fly around at any time. She also I like countdowns, such as Xiamen travel countdowns...

I think Sister Mei’s little flower basket wants to open up the local market

Because she is not an ordinary marketing expert. .

If we want to market, we must learn to be an actor.

Only when you act well can you attract people. .

Let people know that you have a story, and others will unconsciously want to talk to you. Slowly, you will become everyone’s idol.

So, we also. You must learn to be a storyteller.

For example, many of my stories are untrue.

But if there is story logic, people will read them. /p>

A story with clear logic will greatly enhance the experience of the person listening to the story.

We all need to be good storytellers!

Be able to tell stories! , only then can there be marketing!
