The brigade secretary was so angry at their words that he laughed and threw his cup at the other village chiefs.
Bang!
The other village chiefs didn't dare to hide, because they also knew that they were indeed in the wrong.
But there was nothing they could do!
They've told the villagers many times to hold off until the vegetables are bigger before delivering them, so they can earn more money.
But the villagers wouldn't listen; they just felt that Huangjia Village couldn't keep harvesting vegetables forever.
If everyone else has already delivered their goods and made money, and they're a step behind, then they'll lose out.
So that's how it turned out.
However, the reason they sent the pickled vegetable jars to Huangjia Village was not to continue sending them vegetables, but simply because the village chiefs knew they were in the wrong and wanted to compensate them.
Who knew the villagers would use that as an excuse...
Seeing that none of them were trying to avoid it, the brigade secretary felt a little better. He assured Village Chief Huang, "Old Huang, don't worry, I guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen again."
"And you, when you get back, tell the people in your village that if Huangjia Village needs vegetables in the future, they will notify you."
"If anyone continues to recklessly take vegetables directly to the pickling workshop, Huangjia Village will never accept their vegetables again!"
"They care about you and want you to have more income, but you're all scheming against them!"
"Get out of here, all of you! I'm annoyed just looking at you!"
When the brigade secretary told them to get lost, the other village chiefs also got up and prepared to leave.
However, after leaving, they apologized to Village Chief Huang: "Old Huang, we are really sorry. We promise that this will not happen again."
"If someone still doesn't listen to advice and takes their vegetables to your place, don't accept them. Even if their vegetables rot, that's their own problem."
Seeing that the other village chiefs apologized and promised not to do it again, Village Chief Huang's mood wasn't much better.
He wasn't worried about the leftover pickled vegetables going unsold or spoiling; his main concern was that they were about to be distributed as grain and work points were being calculated.
If there's still no money in the account, Village Chief Huang feels like he's being drowned by the villagers' spittle.
The brigade secretary had clearly thought of this as well. After exchanging glances, the two sighed in unison, "Sigh~"
Ding ding ding~
Upon suddenly hearing the sound of a bicycle bell outside, Village Chief Huang's eyes immediately lit up.
Generally speaking, those who ride bicycles here are either Huang Qinqin or people from the department store.
Village Chief Huang nimbly leaned out the window and looked outside, then excitedly waved, "Qin girl! Did you come to see me?!"
At the same time, I was thinking expectantly: Qin Yatou is coming over, she must be here to place more orders, right?
"Village chief, Party secretary, it's perfect that you're both here. We need to talk to you about something."
The brigade secretary and village chief Huang invited them to sit down, then asked somewhat nervously, "Manager Gao, Qin'er, what do you want to talk to us about?"
Huang Qinqin briefly explained the situation to Village Chief Huang and the others, and then she heard the brigade secretary and Village Chief Huang exclaim in surprise, "Three days?!"
Five thousand five hundred bottles?!
This unexpected news left Village Chief Huang both happy and troubled.
What made them happy was the order Huang Qinqin and her team brought – 5,500 bottles at once, which would help Huangjia Village solve its cash shortage problem.
However, completing the packaging within three days and delivering it to the department store seemed like an impossible task.
Because packaging isn't just about putting pickled vegetables into jars; it also involves writing and affixing labels.
Village Chief Huang looked embarrassed and said, "Well, Manager Gao, we are naturally very happy to have such a big order."
"But packing 5,500 bottles in three days seems unlikely."
Manager Gao sighed and said helplessly, "Village Chief Huang, I know this request is a bit excessive, but we have no other choice."
"Mr. George is in such a hurry, and the higher-ups are taking this matter very seriously. So we can only trouble you to work overtime these next few days to get all the goods ready."
"By the way, after Mr. George ordered this batch of goods, he also needs another 4,400 bottles a month later. I wonder if the village has that many pickled vegetables?"
When Village Chief Huang heard that they needed so many more pickled vegetables, he suddenly felt a sense of relief, thankful that other villages had sold them a lot of vegetables before.
Otherwise, they really wouldn't have that much stock on hand, because pickling vegetables takes time, and even if they pickled them right now, they wouldn't be able to eat them so quickly.
"We do have the goods, but the timing is too tight, and we may not be able to make it in time."
Manager Gao patted Village Chief Huang on the shoulder and said seriously, "Actually, the leaders above also know that the task assigned to you this time is indeed quite difficult to complete."
"but!"
"It is precisely because the task is difficult that Huangjia Village's capabilities are better demonstrated."
"The leaders said that if Huangjia Village can perfectly complete the task this time, then the title of advanced commune, advanced brigade, and advanced village at the end of the year will definitely belong to you!"
Bang! Thud!
Upon hearing this, the brigade secretary and Village Chief Huang were completely taken aback: "Is this really true?!"
"Of course, this is what the leader told me personally. I guarantee it with my integrity, it's absolutely true!"
Hearing Manager Gao's assurance, Village Chief Huang no longer felt it was a problem: "No problem! Five thousand five hundred bottles in three days, I guarantee I'll complete the task!"
Hearing that Village Chief Huang had agreed, Manager Gao nodded with satisfaction: "Alright, then I won't keep you any longer. See you in three days."
After Manager Gao left, Huang Qinqin asked with some unease, "Village Chief, are you sure there's no problem?"
She seems a bit unreliable...
Village Chief Huang wasn't worried at all: "Don't worry, Qin girl, there's absolutely no problem."
Alright, since the village chief and the others said there was no problem, Huang Qinqin had no choice but to believe them.
On the way back, Huang Qinqin and Xu Junhui kept talking about this.
"Junhui, do you think the village chief and the others really had time to pack up so many pickled vegetables?"
Xu Junhui shook his head: "I don't know either. It just feels a bit difficult. How many people are there in Huangjia Village? They can't all stay up for three days straight, can they?"
"That's right, and they also have to work in the fields during the day. The work in the fields can't be neglected even for a day."
Seeing Huang Qinqin's worry, Xu Junhui comforted her, "Don't be too anxious. Since the village chief dared to guarantee that there would be no problem, he must have thought of a solution."
"Don't worry about it."
"Sigh, that's all I can think about it."
