"Yun Zhiqing, are there any more?" Secretary Tian asked impatiently.
"I have another idea, but I don't know much about the rice milling and oil pressing here. I'll tell you my idea. If it's unrealistic, you don't have to consider it." Yun Huaying said the ugly words first.
"Okay, go ahead."
Yun Huaying didn't hesitate, speaking at about the same pace as before. "The third point is about fees. I'm not sure about the charging standards for rice milling and oil pressing here, but I think you could set up a few more methods. The first is to continue charging according to the current standards. The second is to charge a small fee, and the team would keep the rice bran and cake residue from rice milling and oil pressing to use for raising pigs and cattle. This would greatly alleviate the problem of supplying pig and cattle grass. If the volume is large, you can expand the breeding area to raise more pigs, cattle, and sheep, so that each household can get a few more pounds of meat by the end of the year."
"Oh, that's a good idea."
Yuan Cuimei, who was in charge of the pig farming, was the first to speak out in support. She stood up, beaming with joy and saying, "Rice bran and meal are good things. They make the most meat for pigs and cows. If the rice mill and oil press could keep some of them, our team could feed at least three or five more pigs and cows."
Zhao Xuelin also nodded: "This is also a very good idea."
Yun Huaying finished what she wanted to say, her expression calm. "Captain, Secretary Tian, I've put forward my ideas. It's up to you to decide whether to adopt them."
"Okay, thank you Yun Zhiqing for your hard work. The ideas you put forward are very good. We will hold another meeting to implement the resolutions." Secretary Tian gave her a yes, which means that all three of her ideas were adopted.
Yun Huaying nodded, sat back in her seat, and faced the burning gazes of Han Zheng and the others, with a slight curl of her lips in response.
"Yun Huaying, excellent!"
Jiang Yuan gave her a thumbs up. Her performance was always surprising. She was indeed excellent and outstanding.
Yun Huaying smiled softly, "It's your turn, go ahead!"
Lin Shan had been prepared long ago, and her idea was inspired by Yun Huaying. She immediately stood up and generously suggested, "Team Leader, Secretary Tian, I've just come up with an idea. Establishing a rice mill and oil press would be a great event for our Dongjiang Team. Let's hold a grand opening promotion. For the first three days of opening, anyone who comes to our rice mill and oil press will not only be picked up and dropped off by tractor, but also receive a small gift, like a palm-leaf fan, something practical that the team can produce for free. In addition, we'll give a discount on the fees. As for the specific discount, you decide."
Zhao Xuelin and Secretary Tian exchanged glances and said in unison, "Adopt it!"
"Hehe." Lin Shan grinned happily and winked playfully: "Thank you for accepting my suggestion. I look forward to the reward."
Secretary Tian had a good impression of the three of them. He waved to her, motioning her to take a seat first. He smiled broadly at Jiang Yuan and said, "Jiang Zhiqing, you should have some good ideas too. Now it's your turn to speak."
Jiang Yuan's idea was also inspired by Yun Huaying. She stood up gracefully and said in her most standard broadcasting voice: "Dear village cadres, fellow villagers and veteran educated youth, thank you for your trust. I also have some ideas to offer."
"When I was working, I heard from the aunts and uncles in the village that there was only one oil press in Yang County. However, every production team here also planted cash crops such as rapeseed and peanuts. The yield was not low, but the selling price was not high. So, I suggested that the team organize to buy rapeseed and other crops from other communes at low prices, use our own machinery and equipment to produce vegetable oil, and then supply it to state-owned enterprises, earning a profit from the price difference."
“Pah pah pah…”
Warm applause rang out again.
Seeing everyone's approval, Jiang Yuan bowed politely with a bright and generous smile: "Thank you all for your recognition."
The five ideas proposed by the three of them were all very practical, which made the team leader, secretary and others very happy. They could already imagine the bustling scenes in the rice mill and oil press.
After the scorekeepers recorded the details, their attention shifted to the group of old educated youth. Zhao Xuelin stood up and said, "Come on, come on, old educated youth, it's your turn."
"The ideas just raised by Yun and the other two are very good. We will adopt all five of them. Our original plan was to recruit seven or eight outstanding and capable young men from the village, but now it seems we need to expand the recruitment. If you can also come up with good ideas, I promise to reserve three spots for the Youth Institute and admit the best candidates."
Compared to doing farm work, the educated youth would of course prefer to work in the rice mill. Although it was hard physical work, the income was stable and they didn't have to worry about next month's food rations after eating this month.
Most importantly, with a stable job, they will have some hope for their future life.
So, now there was no need for the captain to call out names, everyone rushed to raise their hands.
The ideas they put forward were varied. Although some of them were not particularly practical and would be difficult to implement, it also showed that they had put some thought into it. It was much better than someone like Liu Xiu who simply pushed the responsibility onto the village cadres without even thinking about it.
The educated youth were very enthusiastic and proactive. The villagers did not take any action at first, but later they were infected by them. In order to grab a spot, they also symbolically put forward a few small ideas.
In short, by the end of the meeting, the notebook brought by the scorekeeper was filled with five pages of meeting minutes.
"Okay, thank you all for your enthusiastic comments. This concludes the idea submission process."
Zhao Xuelin finally stood up to summarize. He glanced at Yun Huaying and the other two, then addressed the entire team, "Everyone has heard the ideas Yun, Lin, and Jiang Zhiqing proposed tonight. The village cadres just discussed and unanimously adopted them. I'd like to take this opportunity to announce our reward decisions. Each valid idea will be rewarded with 15 work points and 10 kilograms of rice or flour. Yun Huaying will receive 45 work points and 30 kilograms of grain, while Lin Shan and Jiang Yuan will each receive 15 work points and 10 kilograms of grain. Anyone else who has proposed ideas or suggestions and is selected in the subsequent recruitment round will not receive any reward. Those who are not selected will receive the same reward."
