The man who delivered the message said, "No, it was the people from Liujia Village who heard that our village was going to build a sugar factory and came here to cause trouble."
"The captain asked you to go out and talk."
Grandma Huo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Qiusheng stepped forward and said, "Grandma, Yundu will be fine with me here. I'll go out with her."
Grandma Huo nodded. "Let's talk it over nicely. Don't be afraid if they bully us too much!"
Huo Qiu Sheng said okay, and walked over the threshold with Yun Duan and headed towards the yard.
Before I even reached the yard, I heard an arrogant male voice from afar:
"Our Liujia Village has been neighbors with your Huojia Village for over a hundred years. We have countless in-laws and are related to you."
"You guys in Huojia Village can make your own candy, so of course we have to come and see it."
Yunduan walked into the yard and saw that the man who was talking was tall and strong. He was arguing with the team leader and it was obvious that they were not getting along.
The captain said with a forced smile:
"You guys are really well-informed. You knew about it before the candy was even made."
“…”
Huo Qiusheng said in Yunduan's ear:
"The person who was talking to the team leader was Liu Xiaoming, the production team leader of Liujia Village."
"Don't look at how fiercely they quarrel. If something really happens, our two brigades will help each other."
Yunduan nodded, thinking in his heart that he could also bring in the Liujia Village production team to open a sugar factory together.
There is strength in numbers, and with more money invested, the sugar factory can be set up quickly.
At this time, Huo Laifu, the captain of Huojia Village, saw Yunduan coming and introduced Liu Xiaoming to her with a smile.
"This is Liu Xiaoming, the captain of Liujia Village."
Yunduan greeted Liu Xiaoming politely: "Captain Liu."
Before Liu Xiaoming came, he heard people say that Qiu Sheng had found a beautiful city wife, but he didn't expect her to be as beautiful as a fairy!
This fairy can also make sugar and open a sugar factory! She can perform magic.
He admired it in his heart, and said to Yunduan with a friendly face: "Comrade Yunduan, just call me Brother Liu!"
"Qiu Sheng and I are sworn brothers."
Yunduan looked at Huo Qiusheng, who was outstanding in appearance and temperament among the crowd, and saw Huo Qiusheng smiling and nodding slightly.
Yunduan then called out to Liu Xiaoming, "Brother Liu."
Liu Xiaoming said with a smile: "Come to my house with Qiu Sheng later and I'll introduce your sister-in-law to her. She's a very nice person."
Yunduan nodded and told Huo Laifu the next steps of making candy. Huo Laifu immediately called for people to cooperate.
Liu Xiaoming had been listening quietly, and he seemed to wish he could engrave everything Yunduan said in his mind.
Hard work pays off, and with everyone's expectations, it was finally done.
The villagers gathered around the blocks of brown sugar, happier than during the Chinese New Year.
The villagers standing in front and watching were given a piece of brown sugar and tasted it, squinting their eyes in sweetness.
"Sweet! Really sweet, this is what brown sugar tastes like."
"It's different from the brown sugar you buy from the supply and marketing cooperative. The brown sugar from the supply and marketing cooperative is like sand, but ours is in chunks."
"What does it matter? They're all brown sugar. I'd say these chunks are better!"
“…”
"It seems that Sister Yin was not bragging, Qiu Sheng really found a beautiful wife who is the God of Wealth!"
"I didn't expect that sugar could be made without a machine. Comrade Yunduan is amazing! We can make it at home in the future. Selling brown sugar is much more profitable than selling sugarcane!"
"Our village will no longer have to live in hardship!"
"This is all thanks to Comrade Yunduan!"
“…”
Everyone was praising Yunduan, and she felt embarrassed. Thinking about the sugar factory and the school, she took the opportunity to say:
"In fact, as early as ancient times, our ancestors used this method to make sugar."
“And it’s also recorded in the book!”
"People don't know because they don't have enough education! Once the sugar factory opens, the village will build a school and all the children will go to school for free."
"By then, every household's children will be educated and knowledgeable, and the village will become better and better!"
Huo Laifu ate the candy until tears welled up in his eyes, but after hearing Yunduan's words, he felt embarrassed.
"Comrade Yunduan, our village is very grateful to you! You taught us how to make brown sugar, and we learned this great way to make money."
“But setting up a sugar factory is not something you can do just by saying it!”
Liu Xiaoming sneered, "If you can't do it, we will!"
"Comrade Yunduan, if you give me a nod, I'll go there tomorrow to apply for a sugar factory!"
Huo Laifu was anxious, "When did I say I wouldn't do it?"
"I'm just saying that I can't make the decision on my own. I need to apply to higher authorities!"
"Besides, Comrade Yunduan is the wife of Qiu Sheng from our village. Even if they want to build a sugar factory, it will be run by our village. What does your village have to do with it?"
“…”
Soon the two of them were arguing fiercely over which village Yunduan should go to build the sugar factory.
Yunduan said, "Stop arguing!"
"If we want to build a sugar factory, we can do it in two villages together!"
Huo Laifu waved his hand, "No! You are making brown sugar, not white sugar. Even if you reduce the cost, you can only make a little over 20 cents. Not to mention, sugarcane is 12 cents per pound, and the profit will be reduced after boiling the sugar."
Liu Xiaoming said, "Comrade Yunduan, unless you can make white sugar, it's almost the same."
"White sugar is more expensive than brown sugar!"
Yunduan glanced at Huo Laifu and Liu Xiaoming and immediately understood that the two foxes were waiting for her here.
