In order to avoid boring narration, the author tells an episode.
There is a famous tartary buckwheat winery in Wudu District of Longnan City. Its name is "Shen Kang", which probably means "God of Health". The boss surnamed Sun is a lesbian. Because of his decisive action and provocative style, he is called "Sun Erniang". The author once said to her half seriously and half jokingly, "You might as well change the trademark of Shen Kang Tartary Buckwheat Wine into Sun Erniang Tartary Buckwheat Wine. Sun Erniang is famous all over the country, much more than Shen Kangniu! " But he adopted her alone.
When I visited a bitter buckwheat winery in a neighboring province, I found that the buckwheat skin piled up in the workshop was black, so I told my boss that it was not bitter buckwheat, but sweet buckwheat. I know the difference between bitter buckwheat and sweet buckwheat because I once jumped the queue to exercise in the countryside. The skin of tartary buckwheat is gray, and the skin of sweet buckwheat is black, and the particles are slightly smaller than that of sweet buckwheat. It shows that the raw materials of tartary buckwheat are still in short supply, and it is very good to replace them with buckwheat. I'm afraid there is no such food crop as buckwheat, which is even more unworthy of the name! Therefore, the author believes that the products of tartary buckwheat are full of supermarkets, and the raw materials are so scarce. I'm afraid there are not many genuine things.
Longnan Tartary Buckwheat Wine is very famous in the market because of its authentic raw material supply. Unconscious or passive cheating is the bottom line of a characteristic commodity brand. As for how to become bigger and stronger, it is comprehensive. I'm not a businessman, so I won't go into details.
