Wang Yingxue was moved by Huang Jianguo's words, and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, you are so kind."
Wang Yingxue thought Huang Jianguo would tell her to save money. But to her surprise, he not only didn't, he also said he would give her more money to buy groceries.
Huang Jianguo was also worried. He felt that he might not even be able to make ends meet with his monthly salary in the future.
Just buying groceries costs him thirteen yuan a month, while his current monthly salary is only eighteen yuan.
If Huang Jianguo was still hesitant about whether to drive long-distance routes before, now he can't wait to go back to the factory and tell them that he is willing!
Even if you don't earn any extra money, the factory will give you a subsidy for a long-distance trip.
As for the subsidy for each trip, it depends on the distance. But generally speaking, if he wants a raise, long-distance driving is his only option now.
The next day, after Huang Jianjun returned home, Chen Zhaodi told him what had happened the night before.
After listening, Huang Jianjun said dismissively, "What's the big deal? Shengnan eats a lot too. She can eat two big bowls of noodles in one go."
At first, Huang Jianjun didn't realize that Mu Shengnan also had a big appetite, until one time he made an appointment with Mu Shengnan for the morning.
He discovered that Mu Shengnan would arrive at the state-run restaurant early, have a meal there first, and then have another meal with him.
After Mu Shengnan realized that her appetite had been exposed, she stopped pretending to eat more.
Seeing Huang Jianjun's exaggerated reaction, Chen Zhaodi decided to give him a shock.
"I forgot to mention, Yingxue ate dried sweet potato last night."
"What's wrong with dried sweet potatoes? Eating dried sweet potatoes doesn't mean..."
Chen Zhaodi interrupted, "They ate two large bags of dried sweet potatoes, just the ones in the kitchen, two large bags."
Huang Jianjun: ∑(O_O；)
Huang Jianjun laughed awkwardly, "Haha, he can really eat a lot, haha."
Huang Jianjun really wanted to ask Chen Zhaodi why she didn't just tell him directly from the beginning, but instead casually said: "She was hungry last night and got up to eat, and they found out."
He was thinking, how much more can a woman eat, no matter how much she can eat?
Who knew he could actually eat that much...
After Huang Jianjun found out, he didn't even take a nap after lunch. He rode his bicycle straight to the Xu family to find Huang Qinqin.
Only after seeing Huang Qinqin's shocked expression did he return home satisfied.
......
Time flies like an arrow; the years pass in the blink of an eye.
With only five days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival, after Manager Gao's repeated inquiries, Huangjia Village's pickled vegetables are finally ready to be officially put on the shelves.
Yesterday, Village Chief Huang came over to tell Huang Qinqin that the village's pickled vegetables were ready and they had already started packaging them.
So early this morning, Manager Gao and Huang Qinqin set off for Huangjia Village together.
Manager Gao originally didn't plan to come, but then he remembered that his family also liked to eat these pickled vegetables.
To ensure he could eat with peace of mind, Manager Gao decided to visit the pickled vegetable workshop directly.
Because in Manager Gao's impression, many people in the countryside don't pay much attention to hygiene.
If he comes here and sees the dirty and chaotic environment, he will not continue to buy these pickled vegetables.
Manager Gao's arrival was a last-minute suggestion. The brigade secretary and Village Chief Huang both assumed he was also a colleague from the department store.
Manager Gao himself came from the grassroots level, so it would be incredibly easy for him to pretend to be an ordinary worker.
Huang Qinqin, Fang Chuchu, and the others, who had been instructed beforehand not to reveal Manager Gao's identity, cooperated fully.
After exchanging pleasantries with the brigade secretary and the others for a while, Manager Gao directly asked, "We'd like to go directly to the workshop to take a look. Is that convenient?"
"It's convenient, I'll take you there right now."
When Manager Gao arrived at the pickled vegetable workshop, he was surprised to see people cutting pickled vegetables on site.
He asked curiously, "Why chop up the pickled green beans? Wouldn't it look better if they were packed whole?"
Huang Qinqin knew she was in trouble as soon as she heard the question. Just as she was about to answer for them, she heard the aunt who was cutting pickled beans answer first.
The aunt honestly replied, "The whole thing can't fit. The bottle is so small; it needs to be cut open a bit to fit it."
"And the village chief said that it will look like there's more after it's cut open."
The brigade secretary and Village Chief Huang felt extremely embarrassed when they heard her words.
They hadn't expected the department store staff to ask such a question, so they didn't tell anyone else; these things couldn't be shared with others.
Manager Gao looked at Huang Qinqin with a sharp gaze. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was clear: he wanted Huang Qinqin to give him a reasonable explanation.
How can Huang Qinqin be explained?
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain.
Huang Qinqin asked Village Chief Huang to get her a few bottles of pre-packaged pickled vegetables, which she then showed to Manager Gao.
"Brother Gao, look, this bottle isn't actually that small, it's just that the opening is small."
"Then a pickled green bean is very long. Although it's possible to stuff it in with a little effort, it's still very difficult and it will look empty."
"It looks different when you cut it open. See, doesn't it look much fuller now?"
Manager Gao took one of the jars and examined it, finding it wasn't small at all. Still, he asked with some concern, "Approximately how much pickled vegetable is in this jar?"
"We guarantee that each can contains at least half a pound, and it will only be more, not less."
Manager Gao then stopped pressing the issue and began to tour the workshop.
At this moment, the brigade secretary finally sensed something was wrong. When Manager Gao couldn't see him, he mouthed: "Qin girl, is this the leader of the department store?"
Huang Qinqin nodded, feeling relieved that they had finally discovered it.
After the tour, Manager Gao discovered that although it was called a workshop, it was actually just a house with a large courtyard.
He was satisfied with most of the workshop, except for one thing: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to leave the area where the pickled vegetables are packaged in the open air like this?"
"Let's not even talk about whether there's dust or anything that might make the pickled vegetables unclean."
"I was just pointing out the issue of keeping the recipe secret. With the workshop operating in the open like this, what if someone learns the recipe?"
Knowing directly that Manager Gao was a leader in the department store, Village Chief Huang became more cautious in his speech.
"No, the most important part of pickling vegetables is done entirely indoors."
"Moreover, the village only designated a group of people to carry out the work, and not many people knew about the formula. As for the issue of open-air operation..."
“Once the village’s finances are better, we will definitely rebuild a house to ensure that every step is done indoors.”
After listening, Manager Gao nodded in satisfaction.
