At this moment, Bai Yueyao was brainwashing the other educated youth in the educated youth compound:
"This kimchi is a secret recipe of the Korean people that is not passed down to outsiders. It not only tastes good, but also looks beautiful. Let's make it and take it to Director Wei tonight to try!"
"Then, in the name of the farm collective, we'll connect with the supply and marketing cooperative. As long as we find a market for the kimchi, we can not only earn work points from the kimchi, but also get paid wages from the money we make from selling it!"
This is the solution Bai Yueyao devised last night, a solution she thought of all night long.
She would go crazy if she kept picking manure and composting it, so Bai Yueyao racked her brains to think of something she could do, preferably open a factory.
She used to read novels from that era, and many of them relied on their skills to open a factory in the countryside, become factory managers, and then their products were so popular that everyone wanted to buy them, which is how they became successful!
They were all transmigrating, and if others could do it, she felt she could definitely do it too!
Bai Yueyao decided against handicrafts. What modern person knows how to do handicrafts? Theoretically, she knew she could make hair clips and big red flowers for weddings.
In reality, her knowledge was limited to theory!
The rest is food. She can bake small cakes, but she doesn't know how to make an oven.
Moreover, the ingredients for small cakes are too complicated, and she doesn't know how to get those raw materials.
After thinking it over, Bai Yueyao actually came up with something that was both simple and delicious: kimchi!
Bai Yueyao went to great lengths to make kimchi.
She spent a dollar in the morning to persuade a male educated youth to do the composting for her.
He spent his own money to exchange for the ingredients he needed with the villagers, and then mobilized the other educated youth in the educated youth compound to help him make kimchi.
Of course, this wasn't done for free. Bai Yueyao painted a very tempting and enticing picture for them, which is why some educated youth were willing to do it!
This does not include Shen Dan and Li Jing!
Li Jing thought Bai Yueyao was just daydreaming, not to mention how delicious that kimchi was.
The only problem is that it's obviously made of cabbage, so it's not worth much!
Li Jing whispered to Shen Dan:
"Don't listen to her nonsense, like kimchi and spicy radish. Just listen to the ingredients. If they were expensive, would you sell them?"
Chen Dan shook his head and said:
"Then I won't buy it. I have plenty of that stuff at home. If I really want to eat it, I can just make it myself at home. It's all the same whether it's good or bad, it's all the same once it's in my stomach!"
Li Jing pouted and said:
"I don't think it can even sell for the price of that material she used!"
"Let her do whatever she wants. If she can't sell them, she'll have to bring them back for us all to eat. After all, those cabbages and radishes belong to all of us!"
Normally, it would take a whole day to kill the water in kimchi, but Bai Yueyao was just in a hurry to save herself from this predicament!
So after only two hours of rinsing, she couldn't wait to smear the cabbage with the chili sauce she had made!
After she finished, she was very generous and let everyone have a taste.
These educated youths had never tasted authentic kimchi before, so they all thought Bai Yueyao's version was quite delicious.
Having gained the approval of the educated youth, Bai Yueyao was as proud as a peacock.
She discussed it with Jiang Guodong and asked him to be in charge of negotiating with Director Wei. When she became the director of the kimchi processing plant, Jiang Guodong would be the deputy director!
Jiang Guodong also felt that if this matter were to come to fruition, it would be a very beneficial thing for him, so he readily agreed!
And so, Jiang Guodong, Bai Yueyao, and the other educated youth who helped make the kimchi went to Director Wei's house with a bowl of kimchi.
Because they were busy making pickled vegetables, Zhong Wanwan and her two siblings ate at Director Wei's house.
At this moment, Zhong Wanwan was asking Aunt Wei about the living conditions of the villagers and the harmony among their families!
Zhong Wanwan hadn't forgotten about where Xia Ning lived. She had been too busy with the harvest recently, but now that she had some free time, she wanted to help Xia Ning find a place to stay.
The three were having a lively conversation when a group of unpopular people walked in.
Zhong Wanwan laughed when she saw the bowl of kimchi in Bai Yueyao's hand. She thought to herself that Bai Yueyao wouldn't be so "naive" as to actually want to make a career out of kimchi!
In the original book, Bai Yueyao didn't make any spicy cabbage. What triggered her?
Bai Yueyao saw Zhong Wanwan looking at the kimchi in her hand, her neck almost bent with pride.
You think you can fix cars? You're just a country bumpkin who can only do manual labor!
Like her, once she becomes the factory manager, she doesn't have to do any work herself. She only needs to keep accounts and liaise with the supply and marketing cooperative. It's much easier for her than Zhong Wanwan!
At that time, Xia Ning will definitely fawn over herself just like she fawned over Zhong Wanwan.
Not only Xia Ning, but also the other educated youth in the educated youth compound, and even the villagers in the farm who wanted to get into the factory, all fawned over her.
Even Director Wei has to be very polite to me, otherwise she might not stay at Hongxing Farm if she gets upset!
When the factory workers start arguing with Director Wei, he'll be crying his eyes out!
This time, she doesn't even want the house where Zhong Wanwan and the others are staying!
They should clear out the large yard where the tractors are parked and give it to her to live in.
As for the tractor, we can just leave it at Zhong Wanwan's place. She's happy to fix tractors, so let her fix it day by day!
Just as Bai Yueyao was having her daydreams, her lackey Zhou Xiaohong whispered:
"Bai Zhiqing, the scallion leaves and chili sauce on the table look so much like the ones you use to pickle kimchi!"
Bai Yueyao looked down and sure enough, a plate of pickled spicy scallion leaves was placed on the table.
She didn't realize at all that the spicy scallion leaves were similar to the sauce she used for her kimchi.
She assumed it was just a case of Sister Cuihong taking a quick look and then copying it exactly.
Bai Yueyao covered her mouth and mocked:
"Sister-in-law Cuihong, if you want to eat our pickled spicy cabbage, just say so. Although we can't give you much, it's not a problem to give Director Wei a small plate to try. There's no need for you to secretly make it at home!"
"This kimchi is made with very complicated ingredients. Even the sauce is my secret recipe. The process is intricate and the ingredients are carefully selected. It's not something you can make just by looking at it twice!"
Sister-in-law Cuihong: If I hadn't done it myself just now, I might have believed what you made up!
Just as Sister-in-law Cuihong was about to refute Bai Yueyao, she was silenced by Wei Maisui, who was quick-witted and agile.
We can't let her second sister-in-law shut her up. She just finished eating and needs a big show to help her digest!
