Chapter 1337 Success

After a quick lunch, Fu Yancheng packed up and grabbed a few paper bags to head out: "Honey, you've had a long morning. Go back to your room and lie down for a bit. Even if you're in a rush, take care of yourself first. Don't make me worry."

Chu Xue nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After Fu Yancheng left, Chu Xue closed the door, took out a bunch of grapes from her spatial storage, washed them, and went back inside.

She was indeed feeling sleepy and wanted to go back to her room for a nap.

If it weren't for that unpredictable disaster, she wouldn't have been in such a hurry to bring this up. After all, if history repeats itself, the military would likely be the first to participate in the rescue efforts, and the workshop would have to be put on hold.

But the inventory in Lake Blue Village and this year's harvest can't wait. If someone else gets there first, then this matter will no longer have the advantage of timing and location.

To her surprise, things went surprisingly smoothly.

When Fu Yancheng returned home that evening, he brought good news: "Wife, it's all done."

Chu Xue was surprised that it happened so quickly: "Really? Tell me what happened."

Fu Yancheng held up the lunchbox in his hand: "The cafeteria has braised pork tonight, so I brought some back. Let's eat and talk."

He smelled the delicious aroma as soon as he entered the courtyard, which meant his wife had cooked dinner again.

He didn't let Chuxue do anything, and settled her at the table: "You sit down, I'll go get the food."

Chu Xue was a little curious, so as soon as she sat down, she said rather impatiently, "Tell me quickly."

Seeing her eagerness, Fu Yancheng smiled and said, "At first, the leaders were not optimistic, but after they ate the roasted nuts I brought, they couldn't stop eating them, so I told them what you taught me."

Commander Guan spoke first, and Fu Yancheng repeated it to him: "The biggest investment in this roasted nut workshop is the source of goods. If we take over the inventory in Hulan Village now, it can be considered as helping them. The people support the army, and it would be a way of giving back if we help them solve their difficulties. Anyway, the logistics department has ready-made pots. Why not give everyone a chance and recruit a few people to test the waters? If it really works, it won't just be a win-win situation, but a win-win-win situation."

Conversely, even if it doesn't continue for various reasons, it won't create too much of a burden, don't you think?

After hearing what he said, Chu Xue laughed and said, "I must say, you imitated it quite well."

Fu Yancheng smiled and placed a piece of braised pork on Chu Xue's plate, observing her as he spoke.

Seeing that she only bit into the red meat, he talked to Chuxue about the workshop while cutting the braised pork in half, putting the lean part into Chuxue's bowl and the fatty part into his own.

Chu Xue got the result she wanted and was in a good mood. With Fu Yancheng serving her, she ate an extra half bowl of rice.

The military acted quickly, posting recruitment information on the bulletin board in the family compound the very next day. The recruitment requirements were also clearly stated: first, the applicant must be strong and able to endure hardship; second, the applicant's personal hygiene must meet the standards.

The families in the compound were divided into two groups. When the recruitment notice came out, almost none of the military wives from the city applied, as they all thought the job was not respectable. However, quite a few military wives from the village applied. As a result, a large number of them were eliminated in the first round. The workshop inevitably involved a lot of moving and lifting, so those who remained were all strong. After that, many more who did not pay attention to hygiene were eliminated.
