Chapter 47 47, Foreign Trade Fair

Qiao Zhenzhen came to the Foreign Trade Fair this time mainly to accompany her father Qiao and the brothers of the Qiao family to see the world and have some fun in Beijing. As for the promotion of chili sauce, it was mainly left to nature.

So, after arranging the people of the chili factory, Qiao Zhenzhen ran to find Song Jin and others.

This was the first Foreign Trade Fair held by the Ministry of Foreign Trade with the nature of international exchange as the main focus. Therefore, there were not only Chinese people but also many foreign guests on the scene.

There were estimated to be hundreds of booths for the exhibition alone, including staff, visitors, and people who came just to join in the fun. There were at least tens of thousands of people on the scene, bustling and lively.

Not to mention Old Man Qiao and his friends, even Song Jin and Second Brother Jiang had never seen such a grand trade fair, and everyone was a little excited.

Mother Qiao and Zhang Cuihua held their children's hands tightly, fearing that they would lose them if they were not careful, and then they would have nowhere to cry.

As soon as Song Dabao came in, he took Song Xiaobao and Qiao Jianping to the food booths, especially those that were arranged for tasting. They stood in front of the counters where people were tasting, squinting their eyes and looking around curiously.

The female comrade in charge of the tasting work saw that they were beautiful and sweet, and called them beautiful sisters, so she gave Song Dabao and his friends some more food.

Qiao Jianping was a little scared at first, but after seeing the big sister in work clothes really bring food to Song Dabao and the others, Qiao Jianping gradually let go of his courage.

Seeing that the brothers had all eaten good food for free, Qiao Dani and the others also rushed forward. Zhang Cuihua and Qiao's mother had no choice but to line up with the children, and then they also got some free samples.

"Are they really giving us free food?"

"What is this made of? It's so sweet and delicious!"

So, when Qiao Zhenzhen found them, these people were all queuing for food, and even Song Jin and Jiang Erge could only wait with them helplessly.

Qiao Zhenzhen was so amused that she said, "We asked you to come here for study and inspection. It's a waste of time to queue up. You'd better take the time to look around. If you want to eat, you can buy it directly at the booth."

In fact, they didn't come just for free food. They just wanted to join in the fun because they had never seen such a thing before.

The Ministry of Foreign Trade has divided and planned according to different types of exhibitors. For example, the area they are in now is full of food, some of which are agricultural and sideline products, some are candies, and there are also bacon and sausages, etc.

Qiao Zhenzhen actually found that there were instant noodles for sale. She didn't expect that instant noodles appeared so early. However, there are only two flavors of instant noodles now, chicken flavor and pickled cabbage flavor. Out of curiosity, Qiao Zhenzhen bought a box of each.

Qiao's father didn't expect that these things could be exported. He also saw many foreign devils signed purchase agreements on the spot.

While walking around, Qiao Zhenzhen and his friends came to a wine booth and saw that there was a Maotai for sale. Qiao Zhenzhen bought two bottles and kept them at home for guests to drink.
