Chapter 298: It’s still too early for you to learn all of my stuff! Just learn it!
When Su Wenchen returned to the cafeteria hall with the meal from the kitchen.
Jiang Li had already found a seat and was looking out the window at the employees who had finished their breakfast and were getting ready to go to work.
Seeing Su Wenchen coming over, she smiled and pointed at the wall clock.
"If you dawdle any longer, we'll both be late."
"Why rush? There's nothing urgent to deal with this early in the morning. It won't take a little while longer."
"Besides, no matter what kind of work you do, you have to keep people well fed so they have the strength to do it."
Hearing Su Wenchen say this, Jiang Li rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"You think I'm you!"
"I approve my own leave and cancel my own leave!"
"Even if you go at noon, no one will care about you. If I dare to go to work at noon! Those family aunts in our commune will probably make up a hundred rumors about me."
"Everything from the child being unwell to being sick, to even the person being thought to be dying, could be spread."
Having lived in the commune for two years, Jiang Li was already very aware of the power of these commune aunties. She was the first to admit that they were the best at spreading rumors.
Then shared it with Su Wenchen.
"You know, before the New Year, the commune was busy, and since I'm pregnant, Secretary He had to take care of all the running around himself."
"Maybe he was too tired, so he didn't spend time with his wife for several days. As a result, the rumor spread that Secretary He had an outsider. The most outrageous thing was that Secretary He was injured while in the countryside and the place was no longer usable."
"I was so angry with Secretary He that I went to the commune compound every day and had a huge outburst. Finally, I calmed down."
When Su Wenchen heard this, he smiled and divided the rice on the plate into the lunch boxes of the two people.
"Secretary He is already so old, isn't it normal for him to feel powerless?"
"You think he can compare to a great guy like me!"
"Come, try our Beggar's Edition Crab. How does it compare to what we eat in the capital?"
Jiang Li glanced at Su Wenchen, said nothing, and just lowered her head to start eating.
Su Wenchen looked at Jiang Li's eyes and immediately turned his attention elsewhere.
"What are you looking at? I'm just taking care of you. Otherwise, doing it too often won't be good for your health."
Jiang Li nodded.
"Okay! It's bad for my health."
"However, your cafeteria has been improved quite well. Otherwise, the cost of using fish would be too high. It's okay in Beijing, but I don't think many people here can afford it."
"Now that we've switched to mashed potatoes and radishes, the cost has dropped significantly. The main ingredient is eggs, so it's not a problem for your farm."
"I have to say, Achen, your cafeteria is the best public cafeteria I've ever run."
"It tastes good. Although the price isn't particularly cheap, the ingredients are generous and there are many dishes. However, the price is still a bit high. For other employees who don't receive subsidies from your farm, they can only come here for a meal occasionally."
After hearing what Jiang Li said, Su Wenchen could only shake his head.
"Subsidizing others is impossible! We rely on earning other people's money to subsidize our own employees."
"But if your commune cafeteria wants to learn the menu, you can send someone over to learn it."
Since they are all public institutions, Su Wenchen naturally has no intention of hiding anything.
Jiang Li rolled her eyes and looked at her man speechlessly.
"You think our commune and your farm are so rich?"
"If we really want to do it, we can learn menus and dishes anywhere. What our commune lacks is a menu?"
"What we lack is food. If your farm can give us 1,000 kilograms of eggs for free every day, we can set up a canteen."
"Do you really think everyone is like you, asking passing trucks to bring in spices from all over the place, while you still have more eggs than you can eat in your own farm?"
Su Wenchen blinked.
"Giving away eggs is fine, but not for free. Even brothers have to settle accounts!"
"Besides, our farm and your commune aren't blood brothers. We're neighbors at best. But we can give me a discount. How about 40 cents per pound?"
Jiang Li simply shook her head.
“Not so good!”
“We can’t afford the food in our commune canteen!”
"I think the cabbage and potato stew in our commune cafeteria is also delicious!"
Now that Jiang Li is the director of the commune, she knows very well that the commune’s limited funds cannot be spent on food.
Now I finally have some surplus, but it won't bring any profit if I spend it on food.
But if this money is used for development, it will be possible to earn more money in the future, thus forming a virtuous circle.
Su Wenchen shook his head.
"Why are you learning to be like Secretary He now? You're so stingy! It's really not easy to earn some money from your commune."
Jiang Li immediately said with a smile.
"Why do you say I learned this from Secretary He? Didn't I learn it from you? Don't you always say we should save when we should save and spend when we should spend?"
"I think our commune should save money on food. Master Su, what do you think of my studies?"
Su Wenchen stretched out his little finger and measured it.
"At most, you can only learn a little bit of my basic knowledge, maybe only about one percent!"
"It's still too early for you to learn all of my stuff! Just learn it!"
"If you learn half of it in this life, it will be enough for you."
Jiang Li was speechless when she saw her man's arrogant look.
"I told you you were fat, but you're really out of breath. Come on and eat!"
However, having said that, Jiang Liye has indeed subconsciously imitated her man in some of her ways of dealing with things since she got married.
soon.
As soon as the two of them finished their meal and walked out of the cafeteria door, Su Wenchen saw Zhang Zhenhua pacing back and forth at the cafeteria door.
"Lao Zhang, what are you doing here? Is the floor hot?"
"Or do you think the ground here is uneven, and you're trying to smooth it out by acting like a human steamroller?"
Zhang Zhenhua looked speechless.
"Why are your feet so hot on the ground so early in the morning?"
"What kind of road can I roll with my weight? I even have trouble rolling tofu."
"You're only telling half the story, Director. I've been waiting for you!"
Seeing this, Jiang Li spoke directly to Su Wenchen.
"Okay, then discuss the matters in your field!"
"I also want to go to the factories in the commune to check out the situation."
Since the factories in the commune are all tanneries, slaughterhouses, canning factories and the like built to support Yuehua Rabbit, they are basically all not far downstream, so Su Wenchen is not worried.
"Okay then, be careful on the road and don't be too anxious!"
Jiang Li waved her hand.
"It's just these two steps, what could go wrong for me?"
"Besides, these are all employees from our commune and your farm. What do you have to worry about?"
Afterwards, Su Wenchen watched Jiang Li walk towards several factories downstream. Only after Jiang Li waved to the two of them and entered the gate of the tannery did Su Wenchen look away.
Zhang Zhenhua looked at Su Wenchen's concerned eyes and also showed envy.
"Director, you two have such a great relationship."
Su Wenchen raised his eyebrows.
"Why is your relationship not good?"
"By the way, why don't you bring your wife and children over? Wouldn't it be convenient for us to live apart like this?"
"Our farm isn't new anymore. Bring your wife and kids over. We'll give you a small courtyard. Wouldn't that be more comfortable than living in a single dormitory?"
Zhang Zhenhua sighed, with a hint of sigh in his eyes.
"I would like to take it, but my wife doesn't want to. She thinks it must be very hard here in the countryside."
"That's why I don't want the child to come with me. Besides, even if she comes, she won't be able to come with me because of her work, and her living conditions will be worse than they are now!"
"But Director, I can't be on duty next year!"
"I haven't been home for the New Year for two years. If I don't go back next year, my children won't recognize me."
Su Wenchen said in surprise.
"No! You didn't go back this year? Don't we have four deputy leaders in our farm? There are three days off for the New Year holiday. If each person works one day, there will still be one extra person!"
To be honest, since Su Wenchen went to Beijing early this year, he really didn't know the schedule for this year.
Zhang Zhenhua said a little helplessly.
"Didn't Lao Miao say from the beginning that he would visit his father-in-law's house this year? Since his father-in-law is from another place, he left early."
"Old Han also said that he wanted to take this opportunity to take his mother to the Provincial People's Hospital for a checkup."
"In the end, there were only Zheng Xianghong and I left. We're both from the provincial capital, and it takes about a day to go back and forth, so I let her go back for the New Year this year."
Su Wenchen was also speechless.
"So you worked three days of the New Year shift alone!"
"Here's how! I'll be at the headquarters these days. Pick a time to go home and rest for a few days."
"Otherwise, people will think I'm exploiting you!"
When Zhang Zhenhua heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Thank you, Director. I'll be troubling you for the next few days."
Su Wenchen waved his hand and continued.
"However, for people like you who live in other places, it is indeed inconvenient to live apart."
"I think you can take some time this year to develop the tertiary industry here at the headquarters."
"There are so many employees in the field now, and many of them have large families behind them."
"If there's any suitable tertiary industry, we can also find some family members from less well-off families to work as temporary workers. First, we can allow these people to earn some money to supplement their family income, and second, we can also bring a certain amount of profit to the farm."
"Even if it's not for making money, it can make life a little better for our employees and their families."
Zhang Zhenhua also nodded.
"Director, we've actually considered a lot of tertiary industries here, but we're limited by funding and can't introduce any production lines."
"Another issue is the supply of flour raw materials. If we use the name of developing the tertiary industry, the ministry will definitely not approve a stable supply of flour. We can only negotiate with the local authorities ourselves."
"I also asked Zheng Xianghong to disclose this to the city government."
