The days of being investigated in the county were not easy. Chen Zhifang and Wang Youtian were both old, and the repeated interrogations and criticisms had made them lose a lot of weight.

Feng Guiying looked at her husband's haggard appearance and wiped away her tears silently. The secretary said that it would be glorious to go out, but only family members could understand the hardships involved. Fortunately, it was finally over.

Chen Zhifang looked at his wife and family reassuringly before he and Wang Youtian took a group of people to the village office.

Gu Weiliang was the last one to fall behind. He hadn't even had a good chat with Xiaoyou yet: "Bao'er, I didn't break my promise, did I? How are you going to treat me?"

"There's enough food and drink, enough meat and wine, is that okay?" Fu Baoer boasted, but unfortunately he came too late, and the scenery in the back mountain had passed its best season.

Gu Weiliang laughed heartily. Fu Baoer was just to his liking. "Then I won't be polite."

This Qingshan Village is really nice, nestled in the mountains and beside the water, and the people are simple and honest. Originally, Liu Pinsheng wanted to come along to discuss putting some wine on the shelves by the end of the year, but he didn't expect that his wife was about to give birth suddenly, which was really unfortunate.

With Gu Weiliang's mediation, the subsequent matters concerning the branch factory progressed smoothly. The reason why the county was willing to give in this time was, on the one hand, that Qicheng Brewery came to negotiate in person, and on the other hand, that Qingshan Village presented facts.

Who doesn't know about Qingshan Village's impressive 700-jin (approximately 100 kg) yield per mu this year? Furthermore, Chen Zhifang and Wang Youtian had stated that once the branch factory was built, they were confident it would become a major taxpayer in the county. The resulting economic boost would garner attention from even the provincial government.

The leaders were indeed moved by this beautiful dream. There were not many factories in their county, and apart from the steel plant in Hexi Village, there were few profitable ones. If it was true as Qingshan Village said that this winery was so profitable, then when they went to the province for exchanges in the future, would they be able to stand up straight?

As soon as they thought of that scene, the county leaders immediately began to write a report, writing out all the efforts made by Qingshan Village in the past year and the results obtained. Of course, there was no need to mention the black market, and they only said that they were accidentally appreciated by the Qicheng Brewery.

Chen Zhifang and Wang Youtian felt relieved. Shen Xiuqi was right. In the face of huge interests, it was common for big things to become small and small things to become nothing.

Qingshan Village used a recipe for medicinal wine to obtain the permission of Qicheng Brewery to produce several other types of wine. This branch factory was registered under the name of Qicheng Brewery, but they were not responsible for anything from production to sales. Except for paying a certain profit as a reward at the end of each year, they did not interfere in the internal affairs of Qingshan Village.

Oh, by the way, Qingshan Village has also obtained the approval of the county. From now on, they will supply the raw materials for the medicinal wine of Qicheng Brewery. Whether it is picking or planting, the county has given them the greatest freedom. This part of the income belongs entirely to Qingshan Village, which can be regarded as an additional source of income.

Chen Zhifang and Wang Youtian could not hide their excitement. This was really a surprise. They were worried about what to do with the poor families in the village. This job was not tiring and the income was not low. It was perfect to share it with them.

And considering that Qingshan Village has already brewed a lot of wine, their county turned a blind eye and allowed some products to be put on the shelves of the supply and marketing cooperatives under the name of Qicheng Brewery, but they were not allowed to be sold on the black market!

Chen Zhifang and Wang Youtian promised that they would definitely not go, but they could not control the little devil in the village.

After the matters concerning the branch factory were finalized, Gu Weiliang and his team were no longer responsible for the subsequent matters. Once the county reported to the city and province and the approval documents and funds came down, they would be able to get the permit to build the factory. During this period, they still had to complete a series of tasks such as raw materials, equipment, and personnel. It seemed simple to say, but it would take a long time for the factory to enter a stable stage.

Fu Baoer is very content and everything is moving in a good direction.

......

Before the provincial approval document came down, Qingshan Village received an unexpected news.

The slogan "Learn from Qingshan in agriculture" spread throughout the country in an instant. The leaders of China called on all villages to learn from Qingshan Village and organized groups of people to conduct field investigations.

As village cadres, Chen Zhifang and Wang Youtian not only have to lead people from all over the country to visit the farmland, but also have to select one person to go to the province to report and share their successful experiences with everyone.

This was such a great honor that both of them were so excited that they couldn't sleep for several nights. In the end, Chen Zhifang decided to let Wang Youtian go. He was old, and Wang Youtian was a few years younger and more suitable for the job.

Wang Youtian's education level was not high, and he was afraid of embarrassing himself when he went to the province, so he decided to ask Shen Xiuqi to give them some advice.

Shen Xiuqi did not refuse. It was just a matter of writing a few interviews and speeches, which was a piece of cake for him. If it weren't for his sensitive identity, he would have come out to help Qingshan Village with its business.

Wang Youtian memorized the manuscript thoroughly and set off for the province amid the enthusiastic cheers of his fellow villagers. This event was not only a milestone for Qingshan Village, but also the first time such a slogan was shouted since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the momentum was still very huge.

As we watched Wang Youtian's back disappear into the distance, everyone was still restless. They never expected that a small village like theirs, which was not even well-known in the entire commune before, would one day become a national agricultural benchmark.

Look at these days, their village is almost packed with people coming to study from all over the country, and the neighboring villages, especially the arrogant Hexi Village, are so flattering that if you don’t know, you would think the relationship between the two families is very good!

But what puzzled everyone was how the food production suddenly went up, even though they hadn't done anything.

Fu Baoer stood in the sunset with his hands behind his back, hiding his achievements and fame. Heiwa felt a toothache when he saw his master's expression, which looked calm but was actually so proud that his tail was almost standing up.

Why can't the owner change this habit? Wherever he goes, he thinks of himself as the patron saint of the place.

Fu Baoer slapped Heiwa's dog on the head. Fortunately, it couldn't speak, otherwise it would have exposed her secrets everywhere.

"Let's go, Heiwazi. I still have to go back to design that...something logo." Fu Baoer had never learned English. Shen Suizhi only taught her a few sentences, and she remembered the word. It is said that all products must have their own trademarks. The wine of their Qingshan Village cannot be under someone else's name forever.

The trademark designed by Fu Baoer is a lively little carp that jumps out of a wine jar. It looks a little tipsy, vivid and cute. Chen Zhifang certainly has no objection. He immediately contacted someone to make it, and then printed it on their wine bottles.
