"Can you accept ours? We sent out a lot at once, so we can sell them however we want. There won't be any shortages."

"Wait for me to call our director."

The director of the supply and marketing cooperative came out with Qin Hongyu. Qin Hongyu was an officer in the purchasing department and was usually responsible for purchasing some goods. They all came to check the bean sprouts of the Xinghuawan Brigade.

At first glance, the bean sprouts in Xinghua Bay are indeed beautiful, even better looking than those in Qingping Bay.

Even the director of the supply and marketing cooperative praised it: "These bean sprouts are really good, even better than the ones sent from Qingping Bay."

Zhang Weimin was very proud of himself. When he saw Zhang Weimin coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, a sarcastic arc appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The two villagers looked at Yu Guobao worriedly, "Captain, they're not really going to take our business away, are they?"

Yu Guobao didn't say anything.

If the supply and marketing cooperative really wants to accept the bean sprouts from the Xinghuawan Brigade, he will discuss the solution with Xu Nuannuan when he returns.

He also knew that whenever there was anything related to agriculture, he would ask Xu Nuannuan, as if Xu Nuannuan had become his backbone.

Here, Zhang Weimin and the villagers who delivered bean sprouts with him were very excited.

One villager boasted without restraint: "Can our bean sprouts be sold to the city, provincial capital, or even Beijing?"

Zhang Weimin didn't agree with him. "Let's just live well and talk to the supply and marketing cooperative here."

The director of the supply and marketing cooperative and Qin Hongyu looked at the bean sprouts for a while. They not only wanted to see their appearance, but also wanted to taste them.

Taste the raw ones first, then the cooked ones.

They each grabbed some and put the bean sprouts under their noses to smell them. Qin Hongyu just smelled them and threw them back into the basket.

"What's that smell? Why is it so pungent?"

The director of the supply and marketing cooperative also smelled that the bean sprouts had an unpleasant smell. "It smells a bit like urea. Did you put urea in the bean sprouts?" he asked Zhang Weimin.

Zhang Weimin nodded: "Indeed, urea was added. Isn't this to help the bean sprouts grow better?"

The director of the supply and marketing cooperative quickly waved his hands and said, "Take it away. Our supply and marketing cooperative doesn't want this kind of bean sprouts because they are completely inedible."

"Why?" Zhang Weimin was puzzled. "Aren't the crops in those fields all fertilized with urea?"

"Then we don't eat the roots of plants directly, we eat the fruits of plants."

"Sweet potatoes are also treated with urea, so they're still edible, right?"

"That's different," the director of the supply and marketing cooperative explained to Zhang Weimin, using his limited biology knowledge. "Sweet potatoes take a long time to grow in the ground, and the substances in the fertilizer are broken down and absorbed by the roots before they affect the sweet potatoes' growth. These bean sprouts are different. They've only grown in two days, and some of the substances haven't been broken down at all. Look at the smell. There's talk of whether it's harmful to your health. The smell alone is enough to keep anyone from buying them."

"this?"

Zhang Weimin didn't expect the change to come so quickly, and he was dumbfounded.

"Is there any way to get rid of this smell? Soaking it in water more often should be enough, right?"

"This stuff has already seeped into the bean sprouts and can't be removed. We can't take the risk."

"Then, then these bean sprouts really can't be sold? Make it cheaper, we can sell them at a low price."

He can’t let so many bean sprouts go to waste. Even if he doesn’t make any money, he has to get his investment back. Otherwise, how can he explain this to the villagers?

The director of the supply and marketing cooperative insisted: "We won't accept any lower price. We can't joke with the lives and health of the people."

Zhang Weimin was extremely anxious. How did things turn out like this?

They are full of confidence and want to make money, but now the bean sprouts cannot be sold. Not only can they not make money, they will also lose their original capital.

At this time, he no longer praised Qin Wushuang, but instead began to hate Qin Wushuang.

If Qin Wushuang hadn't asked him to add urea to the bean sprouts, he would have sold them at a lower price, at least he could have broken even.

This Qin Wushuang killed him.

Suddenly, an idea struck him.

He said, "I think the bean sprouts from the Qingpingwan Brigade grow so well because they use urea. Why do you want theirs and not ours?"

The director of the supply and marketing cooperative was amused by him.

"Your team's bean sprouts use urea, so you think other people's do too? Well, you can go check and see if their bean sprouts taste the same as yours."

Zhang Weimin immediately entered the supply and marketing cooperative and saw many people queuing up to buy bean sprouts. He felt very jealous and asked the salesperson for a few and smelled them. There was no pungent smell of urea, but a unique fragrance of bean sprouts.

He ran out and asked Yu Guobao, "What did your brigade use to make the bean sprouts grow so well without any pungent smell?"

Yu Guobao glanced at him calmly and said, "This is a secret of our team. I can't tell you."

How could I possibly tell Zhang Weimin this secret?

Because he's so thick-skinned? Because he doesn't shower? Because he's going against me?

The director of the supply and marketing cooperative came over and kindly reminded him to come and deliver the goods every day.
