Xiaoli said this as she took them to the main room.

After a while, two large bowls of hot tofu were brought in from the kitchen.

It is topped with chive and garlic sauce and is still piping hot.

"Hot tofu, what's this at your house..."

Liu Xiulan thought they had run to the commune to buy it early in the morning.

Xiaoli smiled and said, "My grandfather can grind tofu, so it's my family's turn to do it.

My grandfather wanted to grind some tofu so that Secretary Jiang could taste something fresh and to thank him for selling tea and earning food for us.

Jiang Tang said: "Xiao Li, you are too polite. This is what I should do. But your grandfather's craftsmanship is really good. This tofu is well made."

"When the village celebrates festivals and wants to make tofu, Captain Luo always asks my grandfather to do it. My grandfather's tofu is the most tender."

Liu Xiulan said, "Xiao Li, do you make a lot of tofu at home?"

"A lot. Several nearby businesses have informed us in advance and asked us to make more."

"Is there any extra? I'm here now. It's not good to keep you busy all the time. Just do it yourself at home for the next two days."

"Yes, there are some extra. I'll cut a piece for you later."

"Very good."

"Xiao Li, has your family gone to open up the wasteland?"

"Yes, but my grandparents went to the mountains, and my parents are growing vegetables behind the house."

"Why don't you go to the mountains and open up wasteland?"

Xiaoli said embarrassedly, "Everyone says it's hard to grow crops in the mountains. If we have that much time, we might as well find more places to grow crops in the village."

Their original intention was to let the villagers open up the mountain. This is a very serious matter.

We have to think of a way.

Comrade Liu Xiulan used a soap ticket to exchange for a large piece of tofu.

She happily walked home with her daughter.

When I passed by Wenlan's house, Wenlan was carrying a hoe into the mountains.

"Secretary Jiang, you're back. Where have you been?"

"I took my mother to Xiaoli's house for dinner."

"Good morning, Auntie! Is Grandpa Zhang grinding tofu again?"

"Yeah, I just got a piece from her house. I asked Lan, does anyone in our village have dried mushrooms?"

"I have it at home. Secretary Jiang, just wait for me to get it for you."

Wen Lan put down the hoe without hesitation and ran into the house quickly.

I used a basket to carry out a bag of dried mushrooms, and used another basket to carry out some soybeans.

Seeing that she had brought so many dried mushrooms, Liu Xiulan quickly took out fifty cents from her pocket and said, "Comrade Wenlan, this is too much. We want the fifty-cent ones."

"Auntie, how can I take Secretary Jiang's money? If it weren't for Secretary Jiang, my family would still be worried about food. You don't know that my family has saved ten yuan from selling tea. All this is for Secretary Jiang to eat, don't take it."

Jiang Tang chuckled, "Wen Lan, your family made so much money?"

"Well, whenever the tea trees in the village are in season, my grandmother would pick a lot and bring them back. She couldn't bear to see all the tea trees my grandfather planted go to waste, so I have a lot of aged tea at home."

Liu Xiulan quickly reminded him, "It's not easy to sell for so much money. Don't tell people how much you sold it for next time you meet them. Be careful not to get noticed."

This is what Jiang Tang wanted to say. Wen Lan smiled and nodded: "Thank you for reminding me, Auntie. Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I'll tell Secretary Jiang about it so that she can rest assured. Auntie, Secretary Jiang, you two should go back quickly. I'll go to Xiaoli's house to exchange some tofu."

"Okay, go ahead."

Liu Xiulan, carrying a bag full of things, looked at Wenlan as she walked away and said, "People in the countryside are much better off than people in the city when it comes to food. Look, there are so many dried mushrooms at once. And every family raises several chickens."

"Mom, the village is next to the mountains, and there are a lot of edible things in the mountains.

I came back this time for a mission, so I'll go find the captain first."

"Go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."

After sending his mother home, Jiang Tang rode his bike to the mountains to find the team leader.

The mountain that Captain Luo moved away from was the one behind Tea Tree Mountain.

At this moment, scattered families are planting vegetables in an orderly manner in an area at the foot of the mountain where it is suitable for growing vegetables.

Captain Luo was encouraging them over there: "Why are there so few people here?"

"Captain, this mountain has the most broken rocks, and many families don't want to come here."

"There's not much room left in the corners of the village for growing vegetables. This mountain has some rocks, but few trees. If we don't clear this one, we can just clear the tree-filled area next to it. Cutting down trees is even more troublesome."

"Captain Luo."

"Secretary Jiang."

"Captain Luo, I have something to talk to you about."

"What's up?"

“I talked to a farmers market in the city yesterday, and they were collecting vegetables and wild vegetables there.

I've noticed there are a lot of wild vegetables here, but I wonder if every household has any extra vegetables to sell?"

Before Captain Luo could speak, a villager nearby answered immediately: "Sell, sell, we have a lot of eggplants and peppers at home."

“I have cucumbers at home.”

Captain Luo didn't expect that vegetables could be sold now. He asked, "Does the farmers' market want our vegetables? Some of them have too many insect holes."

"The vegetables in the city also have worm holes." At this time, all the vegetables are organic, which is healthy. "Of course, when we sell them, we naturally have to choose the best ones.

Captain Luo, vegetables are not like leafy greens. Some people take good care of them, while others have many holes, fibroids, and crooked parts, making them difficult to handle. Furthermore, vegetables are not like other vegetables; they are not easy to store. If they can be sold, it is naturally good. If they cannot be sold, they will easily fail."

Captain Luo also took this into consideration. It would be fine for each family to exchange this kind of thing for money. Whether good or bad, it would be theirs.
