Tiger Mountain Village, a provincial-level poverty-stricken village, had worn out three successive poverty alleviation cadres, yet it still maintained a stagnant attitude.
After a continuous ...
Early the next morning, in the busy vegetable market, a young and good-looking couple joined the line of people carrying vegetable baskets.
Many old ladies carrying large and small bags saw the two of them, and naturally thought of their young people who were still sleeping soundly at home, and they felt a surge of anger in their hearts.
Jiang Qingyue took Huo Qianli's arm and said with a smile: "Secretary Huo, do you want to rent a stall here?"
Within a day, with Jiang Qingyue's intelligence, she had already guessed what Huo Qianli was thinking.
Huo Qianli smiled and explained his current thoughts to her, "Let's see what happens."
The two of them walked around, asked about the prices of vegetables, and looked at the signs on the stalls. They didn't see any eye-catching signs such as "directly supplied from the place of origin" or "green vegetables". To be precise, most of the vegetable stalls had no signs. Compared with the vegetable market in Qianfu Town, it was just a little bigger, a little cleaner, and had more items.
After walking around for a while, the two walked out empty-handed.
Several old ladies who had met Huo Qianli and Jiang Qingyue before suddenly felt their anger subside when they saw them walking out empty-handed.
That’s it?
They are not as good as the two in my family. At least they can get some sleep in!
Of course, Huo Qianli and Jiang Qingyue didn't know that after just this one trip, their image in the minds of these old ladies would experience a roller coaster-like ups and downs. The two of them waved their hands to stop a taxi and went to a large supermarket.
Similarly, I walked around the vegetable, fruit and poultry areas twice.
After visiting three large supermarkets, one has set up a special counter to sell local chickens, ducks and black pork marked with their place of origin and brand, but there is no special counter for green and pollution-free vegetables.
Walking out of the supermarket, Jiang Qingyue took out her phone and flipped through the text messages. "Sister Guan sent me the location."
Huo Qianli smiled and nodded, "That's perfect."
Ten minutes later, the two got off the car at the gate of a high-end residential area, walked around the ground floor shops of the residential area, and saw a rather exquisite shop at the side door.
The words "green", "pollution-free" and "delivered directly from the base" are clearly written on the sign.
Huo Qianli walked in and saw the furnishings inside. It was much cleaner and tidier than ordinary shops.
There is a slanted table on each side, with boxes filled with various vegetables on the tables. There are neatly arranged fruits on a row of counters in the middle. There is a large refrigerator placed horizontally inside, with pork on it. Next to the refrigerator stands a middle-aged man wearing work clothes, an apron and a hat, holding a kitchen knife and busying himself in front of a eucalyptus board.
In the shop, there were three or four people picking and choosing. Unlike other places, there were not many elderly people here. Most of them were middle-aged or even younger women.
Seeing Huo Qianli and his wife come in, a woman at the cashier counter greeted them warmly, "You two are here to buy vegetables. Here are the vegetable baskets!"
As he spoke, he handed over a plastic basket. Jiang Qingyue took it and said thank you.
The woman didn't follow up to introduce herself. It seemed that they were using the same method as supermarkets, where customers made their own choices and went to the checkout counter to pay.
Huo Qianli and Jiang Qingyue walked silently, looking at the things and the prices, feeling happy in their hearts.
Because the price of almost everything here is more expensive than in the vegetable market and supermarket, and much higher than in Qianfu Town.
Meanwhile, business looks good.
This means that if Qianfu Town wants to take this path, there is at least hope.
In the end, Huo Qianli bought some pork and left with Jiang Qingyue.
Walking out of the store, Jiang Qingyue smiled and teased, "Will Secretary Huo be embarrassed?"
Huo Qianli reached out and pinched her cheek. "I just plan to go back and compare the quality and taste. Don't think your husband is so thin-skinned."
Jiang Qingyue agreed, "That's true."
Even though they got up early, after strolling around for a long time, it was already around eleven o'clock. The two had to go back quickly to take over the children and let Jiang's mother prepare lunch.
Sitting in the taxi, Jiang Qingyue asked, "Which side do you plan to choose?"
Huo Qianli had three clear options before him: the most common wet markets, the vegetable, fruit and poultry departments of supermarkets, and specialized direct-supply stores.
Huo Qianli thought for a moment and said, "It's probably not a good idea to enter supermarkets. The requirements for supply quality and quantity are very high. A dedicated direct supply store would require too much investment. It's a bit risky to do this right from the start."
“Is that the vegetable market?”
Huo Qianli did not nod directly, but looked at Jiang Qingyue, "But if we go to the vegetable market, I'm afraid we can't afford the price!"
He had checked in the morning and found that the prices in the vegetable market were a bit higher than those in Qianfu Town, but not by much. Excluding the labor costs for picking and loading, logistics costs, etc., he probably wouldn't make much more money.
"Think about it again!" Jiang Qingyue held his hand and encouraged him with a smile.
Huo Qianli hummed.
At this time, the taxi driver who had been driving silently said, "You want to sell vegetables? You can go to Yimin Vegetable Market to negotiate! It's at the foot of the residential building, and the prices are higher than those in the big vegetable market."
Jiang Qingyue's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, Master is right, let's go to Yimin Vegetable Market and have a look!"
Huo Qianli's heart also moved, and memories came to his mind. Yimin Vegetable Market is a vegetable basket project that Jincheng City has been promoting in recent years. Simply put, it is controlled by state-owned assets and deploys a number of affordable vegetable markets in the form of "agricultural supermarket" docking to achieve the purpose of benefiting, facilitating and benefiting the people.
Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and called a friend in the Organization Department of Jincheng Municipal Party Committee.
