A few months later, Zhou Ze'an received a reply from his hometown, which was about the sweet potato cakes.
Zhou Zeguo still had a say in the production team. After receiving Qiao Yu's letter, he went to the secretary's house, discussed it with the village chief and the secretary, and then started working enthusiastically.
Before the establishment of the rural commune organizational system, the village head was recognized as having authority. The branch secretary was a high school student in the village and also the younger generation of the village head's family. He was an authority recognized by the commune.
After discussing with the village chief and the party secretary, the matter was settled.
Following Zhou Jun's recipe, they first experimented and found that this sweet potato cake did have a unique taste, and was tastier than other mooncakes and crispy cakes sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives. So they gathered people and set up a small workshop.
Of course, if you want to supply it to the supply and marketing cooperatives, you have to go through review and approval from your superiors before you can go ahead.
It started off well, with sales in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and this sweet potato cake also found a place in the county and even the city.
But some people are jealous.
The stall was too small and everyone wanted to get a piece of the hot soup. In addition, the members of the production teams were related by marriage, so it was only a matter of time before the recipe was leaked.
If the price of soup is a little higher, the profit will be greatly reduced, so every household in the countryside will make it.
Some people even sold the recipe to city dwellers for their own selfish desires and made some money.
These people's narrow-mindedness caused sweet potato cakes to lose their market.
After all, the cost is low, and sweet potatoes have been promoted in their counties and towns. Every household can grow them, so who would be willing to buy them?
Fortunately, the best varieties of red-heart potatoes are grown only in their county. I don’t know what’s wrong with other cities, but even though they are in the same province, the sweetness and taste are not up to standard.
The sweet potato cakes still have no sales, because Junwazi made the hot version, and the taste is best before it cools down. The cold version is still being tested.
The village chief and the party secretary were so angry that they kicked out two "traitors" who had ruined the interests of the production team. Only then did Zhou Zeguo write to ask Qiao Yu what to do next.
Qiao Yu had anticipated this. After all, the hot version of the sweet potato cake was just a pathfinder. In order to catch those with ulterior motives, he also wanted to alert the party secretary and the village chief, who were in power in the production team.
The interests of one person at a time are most likely to undermine the collective interests.
There was no point in her saying more; one had to experience it personally to feel the anger and the regret for not employing people carefully.
After all, if the formula had not been leaked, the production team's work points would have increased, and the subsequent profits could have supported the development of the small factory, which would have benefited all members of the entire production team.
Nowadays, a village cadre who doesn't want to do anything is not a good cadre.
After she handed the letter to Lao Zhou, she thought for a while before writing her reply.
Her idea was to let them calm down for a while, keep the profits they made this time, and make a decision after she returned with her military son. At the same time, she also informed them that she had contacted the big brother of the machine factory in Northeast China...
After finishing writing, she blew away the ink on it. Zhou Ze'an took her reply and read it with great interest.
When he finished reading, the ink dried.
Zhou Ze'an folded it, put it in an envelope, affixed the stamp, and said, "You're not idle even though you're on leave."
Qiao Yu took the letter and shook it, "The contents of the letter are not afraid of being checked."
"Not getting involved?"
Qiao Yu shook his head, "I'm not going on the business road, I'm just helping the kids lay a foundation. Anyway, they have talent and they're free to do whatever they want... Oh, given the filial piety of military kids, they won't have to show some respect to us in the end? It's useless work, and it doesn't live up to my reputation."
"It's very clear."
"I can't help it. I have a bright mind."
"As expected of my daughter-in-law."
Qiao Yu glared at him, "Did I become your wife before I could do this? I have been able to do this since I was called 'Qiao Yu'!"
So domineering.
He loves he loves.
…
After receiving the reply, Zhou Zeguo took the letter to the branch secretary's house.
The village chief smoked his cigarette and listened to Zhou Zeguo's speech. He frowned and asked, "What does Anzi's wife mean by building a factory in our production team?"
The branch secretary also frowned and said, "The little profit we made before is not enough to build a factory."
Zhou Zeguo: "As the letter also said, my sister-in-law has a way. She is a college student, smart, has acquaintances on the island, and also has a big brother in the machinery factory in the northeast. Everything is ready, only east wind is missing... Uncle, secretary, you are hesitant now..."
There is no need to explain what comes next, you all understand.
Everything is ready except the east wind.
Yes, everything was ready, except for the determination. If they really wanted to refuse, the production team members would have been farmers all their lives.
It would be fine if the team members didn't know. If they knew that there was an opportunity to build a factory and work as workers, wouldn't they question their family's decision?
The village chief gritted his teeth and said, "Are the machine factory and the factory on the island mentioned in the letter real?"
"Really? I guarantee it with my own face." Zhou Zeguo said.
Finally, the case was clapped.
Zhou Zeguo returned home and wrote a reply to Qiao Yu.
This sister-in-law is really smart.
The letter was divided into two copies, both of which were for him to read. One was to guide the development and preparation process of building the factory, and the other was to teach him how to speak in front of the village head and the party secretary.
No wonder his mother likes his younger brother’s wife. Who wouldn’t like such a smart person?
Without ever meeting the Party Secretary or the Village Chief, I can guess 80% of their concerns.
Amazing!
After throwing the letter that taught him how to speak into the stove and burning it, he spoke to Zhou Qiang alone for a while.
"Your aunt arranged all this because she wanted to promote our family. You must thank your aunt in the future."

There were also people in the village who went out to serve in the army, but none of them were like their second brother. Even after becoming a soldier, he still did not forget his brothers at home.
Zhou Qiang nodded, "Dad, I know."
"If we really want to build the factory this time, in addition to purchasing machine tools, we will also have three people go to the Northeast to learn so that we can maintain the machines in the future."
Zhou Qiang said unsurely, "Dad, can I do this?"
"Wake up! Don't let this opportunity slip away!"
Zhou Qiang said nothing more.
Just wait.
Waiting for the arrival of my second aunt at the end of the year.
…
After Qiao Yu finished replying the letter, he thought about the little goldfish.
It's time for the little goldfish to go to school.
When the director of the Women's Federation reached retirement age, the new person who took over was someone Qiao Yu could never have imagined - Zhang Cuihua.
Zhang Cuihua was the one who hung out with Yang Hongxia and followed Bai Yu's lead, although she was not implicated afterwards.
but……
"No! How did she get into the Women's Federation?" Qiao Yu said speechlessly.
Lao Zhou picked up some food for her and said, "She joined the army early, and the Women's Federation was short of people at the time, so the director recruited her. She hasn't made any big mistakes in the past few years. And with your leadership, all the sisters-in-law in our compound have attended the literacy class..."
Seeing Qiao Yu's shocked expression, Lao Zhou thought, is there a time when she is shocked? He continued, "After that, she also gradually received her elementary school and junior high school graduation certificates."
After the incident with Bai Yu and Yang Hongxia, Zhang Cuihua had been idle for a long time, and then she followed the footsteps and work of the director of the Women's Federation, actively reconciling the conflicts in the compound, and the reports she wrote also went from being unbearable at the beginning to becoming the best in the Women's Federation.
Even the few high school graduates who work in the Women's Federation are no match for her.
It can be said that he has been reborn.
