Chapter 347 Making Empty Promises



"Xiao Lu, come quick, come quick, I was just looking for you."

When Gao Dajiang saw Lu Fangfang arrive, he quickly waved.

"Commander, what's wrong?"

Lu Fangfang quickly stepped forward.

Seeing that the regimental commander was holding a newspaper with the words "PLA Daily" on it, she suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder Xu Jinbu congratulated me earlier, and no wonder all the cadres I met were staring at me; it turns out the newspaper had arrived.

"Xiao Lu, you and Xiao Zhuang are really famous now, even our group has become famous because of you."

Gao Dajiang, suppressing his excitement, handed the newspaper to Lu Fangfang.

He was overjoyed to see the article in the PLA Daily, even more so than Xiao Lu and his wife.

With two people accompanying him in the group this time, he really got to show off, which is also Gao Dajiang's achievement.

The military region is going to reorganize an army in Zhangye, so he'll have to work harder if he wants to advance further this time.

Across from her, Lu Fangfang, holding the PLA Daily, spotted herself and Zhuang Mingcheng at a glance.

The photos of the two wearing sashes were displayed in the most prominent place.

This report was the same as the article in the People's Army Daily, but she still read it carefully again.

"Xiao Lu, congratulations! Now the whole military region knows you and your husband."

Lu Fangfang listened with a wry smile on her face.

This is too high-profile; it's so high-profile that it's almost annoying. It seems she and Mingcheng need to keep a low profile these days.

"Commander, could you please give me this newspaper?"

Gao Dajiang smiled and nodded. "Xiao Lu, you can have it."

He casually opened the drawer and gave the remaining copies of the PLA Daily to Lu Fangfang.

"By the way, Xiao Lu, did you need something from me?"

"Commander, I've brought quail eggs to the regiment."

Lu Fangfang folded the newspaper, then called Gao Dajiang and went outside.

She wasn't in a hurry to talk about funding; she needed to show the team leader the farm's output first.

"Wow, so many?"

Gao Dajiang stared blankly at the quail eggs on the donkey cart.

Five baskets, a full five baskets of quail eggs, he felt that was enough for the entire group to eat.

"Commander, these are two thousand quail eggs, weighing about forty pounds. Before the Lunar New Year, our farm can produce this many quail eggs every day."

"Next year, our farm plans to continue to expand its breeding scale and increase production fivefold, producing 200 catties of eggs per day."

"The year after next, our farm plans to build two more breeding branches, and triple the daily egg production to 600 catties."

In front of Gao Dajiang, Lu Fangfang started making empty promises.

However, she wasn't exaggerating. If both sheds were filled with quails, they would produce about 200 jin of eggs every day.

As for the year after next...

Yes, that's her plan, but whether it can be done depends on the specific circumstances.

"hiss."

"hiss."

Xiao Aiguo had just returned from outside when he heard his sister's bold words.

They get 600 jin of eggs every day; their troop probably can't even finish them all.

"Xiao Lu, let's not talk about 600 jin for now. If your farm can produce 40 jin of eggs a day before the New Year, that will be a great achievement."

Gao Dajiang swallowed hard, somewhat startled.

Six hundred catties, that's probably not even enough to fill a donkey cart.

Moreover, if the quails are to lay 600 jin of eggs, then the female quails will have to eat more than 1,000 jin of food, which he doesn't even dare to think about.

Across from her, Lu Fangfang smiled and continued, "Commander, our farm is planning to collect more grass seeds, but we're short on funds."

"I'll approve it for you right away."

Gao Dajiang agreed to pay without hesitation.

"Xiao Liu."

"arrive!"

"Take these quails to the mess hall and tell them that at noon, they must make sure that every soldier in the regiment can have an egg."

"yes."

The soldier surnamed Liu walked to the donkey cart and pulled hard on the reins, but he couldn't budge it at all.

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey brayed in dissatisfaction, ready to kick him at any moment.

"You stubborn little mule, go with him, don't be silly."

The little wild donkey shook its head and then obediently let him lead it away.

"Xiao Lu, the animals you keep are really quite unique."

Gao Dajiang smiled and shook his head.

Back in the commander's office, he immediately wrote a note for five hundred yuan and handed it to Lu Fangfang.

"Xiao Lu, if there are any problems at the farm that you can't solve, just let me know as soon as possible, and I'll help you resolve them."

"yes."

Lu Fangfang gave a military salute.

Looking at the note in her hand, she was very happy. It seemed that although the commander didn't say it, he had already accepted her promise.

With the note in hand, she went to the accounting office and withdrew five hundred yuan.

When they came out, Liu Zhanshi was already standing outside, leading the little wild donkey and waiting.

"Sister-in-law, here's your donkey cart."

"Xiao Liu, thank you for your help."

Lu Fangfang strode over, got on the donkey cart, and then started walking back.

After leaving the troupe and reaching the main road north of the breeding farm, she had just jumped off the donkey cart when she saw the stubborn little donkey voluntarily heading towards Sister Shufen's field.

"Hey, when did this stubborn mule become so enthusiastic?"

Lu Fangfang looked on, quite surprised.

It seems that Sister Shufen has been feeding it plenty of good food.

She smiled, shook her head, and turned to go to the farm.

Sister-in-law Lan Ying and Uncle Guo had already poured the grass seeds from the sack onto the tarpaulin outside.

When she returned, the two were chatting in the yard.

Taking out the notebook from her pocket, Lu Fangfang tore off the page with the amount recorded for each family, and then handed it to Uncle Guo along with the money for the grass seeds.
