Chapter 137 The feeling of being proud of not being needed
The sudden appearance of the elder sister made Yu Zhile stunned for a few seconds, and soon his eyes became more vigilant.
They had just set up a scheme to get three thousand dollars from the black market not long ago. At this moment, business came to her door, and the other party seemed to know her identity very well, so she had to be more cautious.
The elder sister had been working as a buyer for several years and understood her concerns. She took out a small notebook from her bag and said, "Sister, I'm not a liar. This is my employment certificate."
The personal information is complete, the issuing unit is clear, and it has unique anti-counterfeiting features.
Yu Zhile let down his guard for the moment and welcomed the other party with a smile.
"Comrade Yu is just like Xiao Huo said, he is more handsome in person than in the newspaper." The elder sister smiled heartily and shook Yu Zhile's hand enthusiastically. "He is so handsome and capable, he will be elected as a progressive model by the end of the year."
After a conversation, Yu Zhile had a general understanding of his elder sister's situation.
The eldest sister is Wu Yun. Her husband works in the county canning factory. She and Huo Tianhe's family are neighbors. Yesterday, when she was resting at home, she smelled the smell of Huo Tianhe cooking pickled pepper powder, so she immediately went to ask about it. When she heard that it was canned sauce, she became even more excited and persuaded him to exchange half a can.
After tasting it, Wu Yun went to work early today to get approval from her boss. She had a feeling that this sauce would sell very well.
"We plan to order 300 cans for the first batch, and we will order more if they sell well." Wu Yun talked about the purchase plan, "If there is stock, I would like to take a few bottles back."
Yu Zhile listened and led her to the courtyard of the sideline group, and suddenly felt a weak resistance.
"Sister needs to rest. Go find Sister Wenxin and Sister Chuyue to discuss things." Yu Chi pulled her clothes and muttered softly.
Yu Zhile winked at him, smiled, took his hand and shook it gently.
Yu Chi compromised and followed the two of them obediently.
However, Yu Zhile had just started working when he was caught by Yu Chuyue and Chen Zhao who were resting in the courtyard.
They folded their arms and looked at her quietly.
"This is Sister Wu from the county supply and marketing cooperative. She wants to order 300 bottles of pickled pepper sauce." Yu Zhile felt guilty when he was stared at, so he didn't look at them.
Yu Chuyue first asked Chen Zhao to go up the mountain to find Zhang Haimei, and then warmly welcomed Wu Yun into the yard and introduced himself.
"Sister Wu, have a drink of water first." She poured a cup of hawthorn tea. "The person in charge of pickled pepper sauce is leading people to pick wild peppers in the mountains."
"Haiyu Village is really a good place to produce talents. The girl looks even younger than my children, but she can manage such a big account." Wu Yun praised with a smile, then picked up the tea bowl and drank it slowly in small sips.
The large area of the front yard and the presence of multiple stoves made her realize that this was a processing place, so she observed the environment in the yard while drinking water.
The clean floor and tidy stove gave her a good first impression.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Haimei, carrying a large bamboo basket on her back, and several members of the fruit and vegetable group strode into everyone's sight.
Today, she holds several positions and often goes to surrounding villages with Zhang Haizhu to discuss the supply of seasonings for food stalls. Her temperament has become much more capable and powerful.
The same magnetic field made Wu Yun vaguely see his younger self, and he couldn't help but feel a liking for him. He quickly took a big sip of tea to suppress this emotion.
"Hello, Comrade Wu, I am Zhang Haimei." Zhang Haimei greeted generously.
The two exchanged pleasantries and then got straight to the point.
Wu Yun took the lead in asking about the most sensitive issue, the purchase price, in an attempt to test Zhang Haimei's bottom price.
When she took a step forward, Zhang Haimei took a step back and took her around the yard, showing her other seasonings for the stir-fry sauce and opening a jar for her to taste pickled peppers and kimchi. She handled the situation with ease.
The team members who were washing wild peppers had never seen her like this before, and they kept looking up at her with admiration.
"Xiaomei, I won't beat around the bush with you. The price is 40 cents." Wu Yun suddenly made an offer.
A jar of sauce only costs fifty cents at the market. The price she offered was considered high compared to the wholesale price, but Zhang Haimei did not agree readily.
"Sister, don't worry, let's sit down and have some tea, and then talk about the details." She put her arm around Wu Yun affectionately.
During the tea break, the two of them went back and forth again. Wu Yun was defeated first and said bluntly: "The highest I can give is 45 cents, but it has to be replaced with glass jars, and it can only be supplied to our family."
"Sister, don't worry. I guarantee that there is only one supply and marketing cooperative in the province that can buy our Haiyu brand pickled pepper sauce." Zhang Haimei said with a smile, "The goods will also be delivered to the county on time."
A customer had mentioned the issue of packaging before, and Haizhu had visited the glass factory for this purpose, so she had a certain understanding of the costs in this regard.
After the verbal agreement was reached, the tense atmosphere in the yard dissipated, and the people in the fruit and vegetable team breathed a sigh of relief and started chatting in low voices while working as usual.
Zhang Haimei read the contract carefully and found no problems, so she nodded to Yu Chuyue.
Yu Chuyue understood, went into her office to get the seal, and stamped it skillfully.
At this point, the surimi team and the fishing squad approached, chatting and laughing, and completed the handover neatly before going about their respective business.
Then, the children, laughing and joking, surrounded Zhang Haiyan and came into the yard, begging her to continue telling the story that she had not finished yesterday.
The courtyard suddenly became lively and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Wu Yun glanced at the large bookcase in the library corner and couldn't help but sigh: "Haiyu Village will be great in the future."
After she came to her senses, she found that the table in front of her was piled with things, including fresh vegetables, dried seafood, fish rolls, etc. They said it was a small gift from a friend, and she specially packed up the pickled pepper sauce for the supply and marketing cooperative separately.
Zhang Haimei asked the team members to find Yu Erye and ask him to take Wu Yun to the town to catch a bus.
On the other side, Yu Zhile watched the whole process and hugged Yu Chi with a smile.
Li Ran, who also witnessed the whole process, walked over to her and sat down, asking, "Don't you feel unwanted at a time like this?"
The strange question made Yu Zhile turn his head to look at him, and he happened to meet his eyes.
"I followed my teacher into the guidance group twice, and stayed in the local area for a year each time." Li Ran recalled that he felt a little more alienated than usual at that time. "I guided them from knowing nothing to becoming experienced in breeding. The harvest celebration was also our farewell party."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the people with bright smiles on their faces.
In the past few days, Li Ran learned from Yu Chuyue the details of how Yu Zhile established the sideline group, which was very similar to his previous experience. Today, he happened to see such a scene, but he didn't see the disappointed expression on her face, so he couldn't help asking.
"No, even if one day we go on different paths, we will always be a collective." Yu Zhile answered his question.
Li Ran fell into deep thought.
At this time, Zhang Wenxin came in with the selected temporary workers, learned about Wu Yun's identity and reason, and happily joined the team of gossip.
After a while, Master Yu came slowly in a ox cart. After taking Wu Yun on board, he waved the whip slowly.
Afterwards, the sideline group held a brief meeting about the new cooperation, and Yu Zhile was pushed out of the sideline group's courtyard by them.
Yu Zhile spent some time reporting yesterday's fainting to the system platform, and then he told Yu Chi about his past experiences in the provincial capital.
When she encounters village cadres or elderly people chatting in groups, she will stop and tell them the good news that the sideline group has reached a new cooperation.
The brother and sister walked around most of the village before heading towards home. During this time, Yu Chi kept frowning like an old man.
When he got home, he held Yu Zhile and said happily, "Sister is so proud!"
Yu Zhile quickly thought of her conversation with Li Ran, lifted him up, walked into the room in a circle, and said, "Xiaobao got it right! That's great!"
The next second, Yu Yue took Yu Chi from her and put him on the chair.
Yu Wanqin walked up to her and touched her arm, asking with concern, "Are you tired?"
"My health is not that bad." Yu Zhile curled his lips.
Yu Yue responded: "Yesterday you——"
His words were interrupted by a noise coming from Fang Zhuo's room, and the family of four hurried to check.
The first thing that caught the four people's eyes was the overturned wheelchair, and then Fang Zhuo who fell to the ground.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Fang Zhuo smiled rarely, and then stood up unsteadily under everyone's gaze.
He did not maintain his upright posture for long as his body tilted to one side. Fortunately, Yu Zhile and Yu Yue supported him in time to prevent him from falling again.
"Third brother, can you feel your legs now?" Yu Wanqin was pleasantly surprised.
Fang Zhuo nodded in affirmation, but hoped that everyone could keep it secret for the time being.
While the Yu family was delighted with the news, the villagers were also cheering for the cooperation with the Hexian Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
Yu Zhile cultivated himself with peace of mind in this atmosphere. Besides reading and daydreaming, he would occasionally go to the village to chat with the elderly and listen to their stories about the past.
Time soon came to the day when the new window of the state-owned restaurant officially opened. The sideline group set out with fresh vegetables and arrived in the town just after the morning rush hour in the store.
Zhang Wenxin took the temporary workers to understand the layout of the kitchen, while the others helped Zhang Ping and others prepare food.
"How is Xiaoyu?" Hu Lan brought a bowl of brown sugar water.
Yu Zhile said thank you with a smile and asked about Hu Shuang.
"I followed Lao Jiang to the provincial capital to study early in the morning." Hu Laosan said sourly, but his expression was full of pride. "She is so beautiful that she is not so positive towards me."
His words caught the attention of Old Man Hu, who said disdainfully, "Don't waste my precious granddaughter's time."
Hu Laosan shrank his neck and said nothing.
The old lady and old man at the door were used to this and just found a corner seat to sit down.
After all kinds of ingredients were placed in the windows, the group couldn't wait to start choosing, weighing and paying, and then waiting to eat.
The news that the new window was officially open for business had already spread throughout Haidong Town, and as dinner time approached, the store became bustling.
While everyone was chatting and laughing while waiting for their number to be called, a group of burly guys came into the store, sat down casually at the seat closest to the door, casually ordered two plates of peanuts, and started playing rock-paper-scissors and drinking.
Their voices were so loud that other guests couldn't help but look at them sideways.
