Chapter 1331 Opportunity

After all, most of the land in the village is used to grow grains, and no village would grow many of these crops that don't provide enough food.

When the big factory's purchasing agent left, he said that they would buy as much as the farmers planted in the future, and that they would definitely not let them suffer losses.

The village held a meeting to discuss this matter, and everyone agreed. So they planted sunflowers on all the small slopes and ridges. Last year, the weather was good, and the villagers worked hard. They even managed to fertilize the plants several times on their shoulders, despite the high altitude. Their efforts paid off, and the yield was quite good.

As a result, no one came after waiting and waiting. After several attempts to contact them, they said they would come to collect it in a while, but this has been delayed until now.

They weren't entirely clear on the specifics of the situation over there.

At first, some villagers suggested sending them to the purchasing station, but most people disagreed. They thought they should wait and see. What if the large factory came? How would they explain it to the purchasing station if they sent them there? They were also thinking about future cooperation. So the matter was at a standstill.

Until this month, they received definite news that they were temporarily unable to come and make the acquisition, and were told to find another way.

The villagers were dumbfounded.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xue asked, "How much stock does the village have now?"

The woman thought she was just asking casually, and sighed, saying, "I heard from the villagers that both small warehouses are full, but I don't really know the exact amount."

After a brief chat, Chu Xue made an excuse to leave.

Fu Yancheng looked at her as she approached and asked, "Why are you interested in sunflower seeds?"

Chu Xue pulled the person towards home: "Come on, let's talk about it when we get back."

Fu Yancheng's face was full of doting affection: "Okay."

After the two entered the courtyard, Fu Yancheng locked the gate. Just as they entered the house, Chuxue said, "Yancheng, could you help me find out how many sunflower seeds Lake Blue Village has in stock?"

What are your thoughts?

Chu Xue nodded: "I have a few recipes for roasting melon seeds, which can produce different flavors. If possible, it wouldn't be a bad idea to set up a roasted nut workshop."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yancheng said, "There aren't many villages near our unit that grow melon seeds and peanuts on a large scale. If the neighboring Hulan Village hadn't tasted the benefits before going there, they probably wouldn't have planted them on such a large scale on the hillside. If you want to open a workshop, you can't do it without a supply of goods."

Chu Xue smiled and said, "You heard what that lady said earlier. Hulan Village has two small warehouses with stock. The autumn harvest will be in a few months. Their village has planted just as much as last year."

As for sales, the military will handle the communication with the city's supply and marketing cooperative. If our stir-fried food tastes good, we're guaranteed to find a market.

After Chu Xue's words, Fu Yancheng, who was not optimistic at first, also felt that there was some truth to it: "Okay, I will send someone over to check the situation when I get to the office tomorrow."

Chu Xue was quite optimistic about this: "Take it seriously. This opportunity is fleeting. If we can seize it, the workshop might actually open."

What could Fu Yancheng say? Anyway, his wife was happy, and it was something that would benefit the army, so he naturally wouldn't hesitate: "No problem, I'll get it done for you as soon as I get there tomorrow morning."

Chu Xue was not one to drag things out. After washing up, she took a pen and wrote down a few recipes for roasted peanuts.

Of course, she didn't write anything too complicated, only five-spice, garlic, and salt and pepper. As for other flavors, she would have to come up with them later, since resources were scarce at the moment.

When Fu Yancheng came in after tidying up, he saw her holding a piece of paper, lost in thought.
