With He Yan's help, more than a dozen people from the machinery factory bought a total of ten chickens.

Twenty kilograms of red dates, five kilograms of dried goods were sold.

Zhang Laoshuan has income again today since he sold a chicken to his mother last time because his family has red dates.

When He Yan was about to leave, Jiang Tang secretly stuffed the money into his hand and said, "Here, this money is for you."

He Yan shook his head and refused: "I've eaten a lot of your good food these days, this money is for your living expenses."

Jiang Tang was stunned for a moment, frowning slightly, with a hint of confusion on his face: "Then what did you mean just now, were you teasing me?"

He Yan smiled and adjusted the frame of his glasses, then looked at her and said, "I just want to be friends with you."

Jiang Tang looked at him cautiously and asked, "What friend?"

He Yan smiled and stretched out his hand towards her, saying, "Just ordinary friends."

Jiang Tang reached out and shook his hand lightly, hiding her embarrassment.

Oh, she just thought that she was being noticed. How embarrassing.

At this moment, Zhong Gong came out of the house carrying his packed luggage and said to Jiang Tang with a smile on his face, "Comrade Jiang, when you have time in the future, you can come to the machinery factory and visit my home. I'm really sorry to have you here during this time."

Jiang Tang nodded quickly, a warm smile on her face: "Mr. Zhong, of course. You and Comrade He have helped us a lot here."

He Yan helped the master carry the luggage and gave her the insulated lunch box that Jiang Tang had borrowed a few days ago: "I cleaned this for you. It's very useful. Thank you."

"If it's useful, keep it. I have more here."

Such a heat-insulating lunch box, made of stainless steel at that, is not something you can necessarily buy on the market. He Yan naturally couldn't accept such an expensive item.

After refusing several times, Jiang Tang got annoyed: "Don't talk about it. It's a gift from a friend. Are you really not going to accept it?"

Engineer Zhong, standing by, looked at his apprentice, then at Jiang Tang, a meaningful smile on his face. As someone who had experienced this, he seemed to have noticed something subtle and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Xiao He, Comrade Jiang has said he's a friend, so just accept it. Next time we meet, you should treat Comrade Jiang well."

Jiang Tang said, "That's right."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse anymore, he had to accept the lunch box with a shy smile on his face: "Okay, thank you, Jiangtang." There was a special meaning in his voice.

After the people from the machinery factory left.

Jiang Tang went to Aunt Hongying's house. The last time she went home, many neighbors asked for brown sugar, so she came to ask Aunt Hongying how much brown sugar she had.

"Secretary Jiang, if you help me sell this, will someone..."

Jiang Tang interrupted her hurriedly. This matter could be a big deal or a small matter: "Auntie, this is a gift from you, a gift from you to me."

"Oh, yes... yes, I volunteered to give it to Secretary Jiang.

Secretary Xiao Jiang, I still have over fifty kilograms of brown sugar here."

Jiang Tang looked at the list and said, "Auntie, just give me 15 kilograms."

Aunt Hongying was overjoyed and went into the house to pack the ginger candies.

Aunt Hongying makes brown sugar using the traditional recipe, which is finally cut into blocks.

Jiang Tang likes the brown sugar from Aunt Hongying very much. She plans to keep two kilograms for herself, give two kilograms to her family, and give two kilograms to her best friend.

After finishing the brown sugar business, we started counting the chickens.

【Waiter, waiter.】

[Ah, my dear, have you given me a good review? ]

[Give me shit! You keep me busy every day, sometimes even paying me out of my own pocket. If it weren't for my girlfriend, I'd be stuck. I want all future rewards in cash. I won't accept any PUA or empty promises.]

Please calm down, this sign-in system is still in the testing phase, and the rewards we've arranged are very reasonable.

[Reasonable size. You guys signed in for a mission, and you can't just do it by talking about it. In this world, you can't get anywhere without money, don't you understand?]

[My dear, please don't be angry. Although I can't give you a system reward, I can help you.]

【Help me? How can you help me?】

[It's the same thing as what was under the tree last time.]

Jiangtang's eyes lit up. It would be nice to get some gold bars. [Tell me, where are some more?]

[In the mountains, I detected that, starting from behind your house, on the third hill, someone buried some coins and gold melon seeds there over a thousand years ago.]

[The third hilltop is already deep in the mountains.]

[So, do you dare to go? ]

[I dare you. When I'm free, I'll wake you up to accompany me. Oh, by the way, do you know what the exploration team found?]

[It's a rare mineral, but it's not needed in your current national conditions. They don't plan to mine it, and they won't tell you about it.]

[You know it even if you don't tell us.]

[They were discussing something on the mountain just now. I could hear it.]

"Okay, now help me check the income of each household in Youtoucao Village. I'm planning to get a few pounds of jujubes. Who would be a good fit?"

[Ding...Testing completed. Ding, please check.]

[Oh, there are already five households in the village whose income exceeds ten yuan.

At the village entrance, at Second Grandma's house. Are her red dates well preserved? Okay, I'll go over.

In the past two days, Secretary Zhou called all the team leaders and cadres from each brigade to hold a meeting.

It mainly talked about the autumn farmers' market.

In order to have a rich harvest in the fall, Secretary Zhou believes that each village should exchange experiences with each other.

In the next three days, Secretary Zhou led the cadres of several brigades to visit each other.

First we went to the nearest Red Star Brigade.

The captain of the Red Star team only allowed the villagers to plant some in their own yards, and the village would then collect and sell them. They also allowed them to plant some vegetables in the fields, but they were scattered and the vegetables were of mixed variety, and some were infested with insects.

The Shilin Brigade did give some advice on pest prevention, but the Hongxing Brigade didn't pay much attention to it, as they also looked down on the vegetable business.

I don’t think I can make much money selling vegetables.

Jiang Tang, on the other hand, took out a notebook and wrote down a lot of folk remedies.

The Shilin Brigade grows a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and they plan to make sweet potato flour and vermicelli in the fall.

Secretary Zhou felt that the vermicelli could be sold at a good price, and they took good care of it.

The soybeans that people in Zhangwan Brigade used to grow every year were mostly used to make tofu and bean curd sheets.

So they don't have much land to grow vegetables, nor do they plan to.

The eggplants and pumpkins grown by Liulin Brigade can be kept for consumption even if they cannot be sold.

And they planted a lot of fruit trees.

Jiang Tang is in charge of Shaluo Village and Youtoucao, and she has the two villages plant the same varieties.

Green peppers, hot peppers, beans, plum beans, cucumbers, loofahs, bok choy, fennel, winter melons and pumpkins.

It can be sold at a higher price than potatoes.

After looking at the vegetables in Youtoucao Village, the leader of the Hongguang Brigade crossed his arms and curled his lips. "I've been to several villages this time. Shilin Brigade does have a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes. I just don't know what the final price of the sweet potato flour will be."
