It was already past eleven o'clock when they came out of the farmers' market, but Captain Luo and his companions were reluctant to have a meal in the restaurant.

With so many people, a meal costs one or two dollars.

"Si Ning, I'm leaving first." After pulling her aside, he whispered in her ear, "See you tonight."

Meng Si Ning nodded mysteriously: "I will give you a gift tonight."

After the two separated, Meng Si Ning went to work.

Feeling hot and hungry, Jiang Tang followed Captain Luo and his men back to Caotou Village.

...

When Liu Xiulan entered the compound carrying a sack.

Aunt Zhang and the others who were buying groceries saw this and asked, "Teacher Liu, what did you bring back?"

Liu Xiulan had just asked Uncle Zhang to put the sack in the guard room, and she took it home on her bike.

He patted the bag on the front beam and said, "I stayed at the Third Brother's place for two days. I traded a chicken with the farmers in the countryside and brought back some dry goods."

Liu Xiulan had a very fulfilling life these two days, telling them about the good things in the countryside.

Raise your own chickens, ducks, and geese, grow your own vegetables, and store your own dried goods.

Aunt Zhang and the others asked, "Do they have any extra of these? Next time, ask your third child to bring some back for us."

Liu Xiulan quickly solicited business for her daughter: "There are so many, they can't bear to eat them. Most of them are taken to the commune to exchange for money. The commune purchasing station doesn't pay much. It's really giving it to us, we can also earn a few cents more, right? I bought a seven or eight kilogram chicken for three yuan."

"It's 30 cents a pound, less than 30 cents. Our market sells it for 60 cents a pound. Teacher Liu, when will your Tangtang come back? Next time, ask her to help bring a chicken."

"I don't know. I'll tell you when she comes back."

"Okay, don't forget it."

...

In Caotou Village, after a few people arrived at the village, the villagers were eager to try, but they also knew that Captain Luo and his team had been busy all morning and had not eaten yet.

No one bothered.

The meal was eaten at the old branch secretary's home.

The old branch secretary asked his wife to make noodles with two kinds of noodles.

Some of them were really hungry and ate voraciously.

Jiang Tang ate the noodles and praised them, "Grandma, these noodles you made are really delicious.

This is the first time I’ve found that stewed beans are so delicious.”

The old lady, the branch secretary, laughed heartily and said, "It's delicious. Come to my house to eat it tomorrow. I put some nepeta in it."

Jiang Tang nodded repeatedly. Jingjie is a delicious dish. Maybe she was too hungry.

While Captain Luo and Accountant Wang were having dinner, they talked to the old branch secretary about selling vegetables today.

Accountant Wang showed the account book to the old secretary.

They sold two large carts of vegetables for only over 30 yuan.

Although more than 30 yuan is not a lot, it brings hope to the whole village.

After they had finished their meal, the old branch secretary took them to the village office. He shouted twice through the loudspeaker, and almost all the villagers came.

The old Party Secretary looked at the villagers and said a few polite words: "Everyone, be quiet.

This is the first time we've taken so many vegetables out, and it's summer, so vegetables are not easy to store, and loss and other things are uncertain factors.

But I just looked at the account books, and I can tell you that we all did very well this time.

Accountant Wang said that people at the farmers' market praised us for our clean processing, the few insect holes, and the uniform size of the vegetables.

If it weren't for these reasons, no one would want our dishes.

Well, I won’t say much more. Captain Luo and Secretary Jiang have been busy since five in the morning until now, and everyone is tired.

Divide the money quickly and let them rest."

Captain Luo also stood up and said a few words: "Although the money is not much this time, the farmers' market said that if there are vegetables in the future, you can bring them over.

Of course, the quality of the vegetables must be guaranteed.

Moreover, this time Secretary Jiang also called reporter Meng, and our Caotou Village will be in the newspaper again.

Everyone, please cheer up and work hard to cultivate the land, so that we can grow the best vegetables this autumn and serve the people."

"good."

"Okay, Captain Luo is right, the city needs us too."

Accountant Wang sat at the table and said, "From now on, Luo Laoer's family, three catties of wild vegetables, five catties of eggplant, and one catty of chili peppers, totaling for 40 cents."

Luo Laoer's mouth was almost stretched to his ears: "We only have that little at home, and we sold it for 40 cents, 40 cents."

"Our family is Sanmao."

"I saw mine. It's sixty cents. Haha, how come Lao Li's is only eight cents?"

"My family eats all the vegetables themselves, and we don't grow much, so I just picked some cucumbers."

"Old Li is just one person. He feeds himself and his family, so he doesn't pay much attention to the vegetables he grows."

"If I had known it could be sold for money, I would have definitely planted more."

"There's no delay in autumn either."

Jiang Tang brought out several people from Sara Village.

Pay them on the other side.

There were eight companies in total. The highest earner actually made one dollar, and the lowest earned fifty cents.

Several families went back happily.

When we met people in Shaluo Village, they were all stunned when they heard that they had made money selling vegetables: "Where do you sell vegetables? If you sell vegetables privately, you have to wait in line."

"Squat you carrot, this is the unit that Secretary Jiang found for us in the city, and they took it."

"Director Jiang found it? How come we didn't know?"

"Hmph, they told our team leader, but he didn't want to participate. It was Officer Jiang who came to the village entrance and brought it up to us. We've promoted it to a few families, but some still aren't interested. Who wouldn't want to make money?

In Caotou Village, every household sells the vegetables they grow.

We've earned a lot of money. When will we run out of vegetables? We can use the money to buy whatever we want. How wonderful!

Caotou Village is still reclaiming wasteland, saying they want to grow vegetables to sell in the fall."

"Don't keep talking about Caotou Village as if you're from Caotou Village. If you want to go there, just move to Caotou Village."

“Didn’t I tell you this is the situation?

I asked, what's going on in Caotou Village? Under the leadership of Secretary Jiang, they're selling tea and vegetables, bringing back a lot of good stuff.

"What is Captain Sun thinking? Why not do such a good thing?"

Villager Li En snorted, "It's just that he looks down on me. He thinks I'm younger than him, but I want to be treated as his equal and meddle in everything. He's not happy about it."

"Li En, you think he's not doing enough to trip up your family? Keep your voice down."

"I won't keep my mouth shut. This village is almost becoming the property of the Sun family. They have the final say in everything. Have they ever considered the opinions of us villagers?

You are cowards too, you are so used to being oppressed that you don’t know how to resist. Don’t forget that this is a new society.”

A few people wanted to agree, but they didn't dare to, because everyone knew that this was a new society.

But he was the village chief, so what if they were dissatisfied? Like Li En, going to the commune to complain was useless. It was just a lot of noise, little action. He criticized them, but then he returned and continued to be the team leader.
