"Don't take any more orders," Lin Yu said helplessly to Lin Yuan and Zhou Huanan across from her.
"I'm sure."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu still felt a little heartbroken. If she hadn't stopped the order, she probably would have received quite a few more orders.
However, the production capacity here is limited, and we can no longer produce that many.
Even the raw materials are running out.
Lin Yu had expected to receive new orders, but she didn't expect Lin Yuan and Zhou Huanan to be so capable.
We're overwhelmed with orders.
In the end, they had no choice but to call a halt.
Song Meili did the math and said, "These orders are enough for us to keep going for half a year, and we'll barely have enough raw materials."
The people in the office were a bit worried, feeling it would be a pity to give up the order like this.
Li Lanhua happened to come into the office and, upon hearing about this, said:
"All you need are sweet potatoes and fruit, right? Can't you just go outside and ask if they have any?"
Song Meili said, "Where are we going to look? We've already plundered several brigades around here."
Lin Yu's eyes lit up: "If the nearby places aren't enough, we can go somewhere further away."
Actually, the region with the most sweet potatoes is the southern region.
The raw materials used in their factory are mostly grown in the south, with the yield increasing the further south you go.
"Manqing, is your home in the south?"
Ou Manqing nodded. Her home was in Guangcheng, and her father had even gotten goods from the factory before.
Lin Yu asked her, "Then do you think it's feasible for us to go south to make our purchases?"
Ou Manqing thought it was feasible. In her previous life, she did business in the south and had little experience with agricultural products.
But they also knew that the crop yields there were large, and some people would transport them northwards.
Lin Yu felt that this matter was worth discussing, so when she got home that night, she began to bury herself in writing.
It took me two nights to write out the specific plan.
Of course, this is only a preliminary consideration; they haven't conducted any on-site investigations, so it's all just talk.
She decided to go to the south to investigate.
Lin Aiguo initially disagreed, but she persuaded him by citing the promising future of the food factory.
This convinced him that the food factory had a promising future.
"Think about it, if we can purchase enough raw materials from the south, we can sell our products all over the country."
"Then we'll need even more workers..."
This is something that benefits all members.
Lin Aiguo seemed to have already envisioned the food factory becoming a large factory with thousands of employees, where people from within a hundred miles would come to work.
Everyone had a beaming smile on their face.
Although Lin Aiguo felt that Lin Yu was too bold and taking too big a step, he still agreed after careful consideration.
Apart from Lin Aiguo, everyone else in the family supports this.
Lin Shan, in particular, could see the potential in it, which is why he went to great lengths to make it happen.
Lin Aiguo shook his head and said, "I'm old, my mind can't keep up with young people."
Lin Yu quickly said, "Uncle, you're not old yet. We need you as our pillar of strength."
If it weren't for Lin Aiguo's support, Lin Yu wouldn't have the freedom she has now.
Although Lin Aiguo was old, his authority in the brigade was unmatched by Lin Shan.
Once he says something, the members generally won't argue with it.
Everyone believed that he was wholeheartedly dedicated to the development of the brigade and had no selfish motives.
Lin Yu really admired him for being able to do this much as a brigade leader.
Lin Shan always regarded Lin Aiguo as his role model and studied accordingly.
With Lin Aiguo's support, Lin Yu began to make arrangements for what would happen after her departure.
She plans to bring Ou Manqing with her when she goes to Guangcheng this time.
She's a local, and her father has some influence, so she can benefit from his connections.
Secondly, she hadn't been back to her hometown since she came to the countryside, so this was a good opportunity for her to go home and visit.
The factory affairs were left to Song Meili, Zhang Bing, and Li Dahui.
Li Dahui stayed behind to take care of the children, and Ou Manqing trusted him completely.
The child was too young to travel by train, so she decided to leave the child at home.
Although Li Dahui was reluctant, he knew that his wife hadn't been back to her hometown for many years and must be missing it.
So she said without any complaints, "Go back and take a look. Don't worry about us. I'll take good care of the children."
Ou Manqing was naturally relieved, but she was a little reluctant to be separated from her daughter for a while.
It is said that a child is a piece of flesh that fell from the mother's body, and from pregnancy to now, they have been inseparable.
She was very sad to be separated from her child all of a sudden.
Overwhelmed by her emotions, she even considered saying she wouldn't leave.
But besides being a mother, she is also her parents' daughter, and she also misses the hometown where she grew up.
Li Dahui understood how she felt and hugged her, saying, "Don't think too much. Go home and see your parents. When the child is older, the three of us can go back together."
"Mmm," she said, her voice thick with a nasal tone.
"What if my child doesn't remember me when I come back?"
Children at this age will forget someone after just a few days apart, let alone if she leaves for half a month.
Li Dahui laughed easily and said, "What's the big deal? You'll remember after you come back and spend two days with her. What does a little kid know?"
"The most important thing is you. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."
Children come after their mothers.
Ou Manqing burst into laughter through his tears: "Yes, you're right."
Seeing that she had come to her senses, Li Dahui hugged her again and said, "Then you must remember to think of me, not just the children."
"You're such a grown man, why are you arguing with a child?"
