Chapter 81: Silly and Honest



Li Miaomiao listened to Zhang Degen's words, and they agreed with her thoughts: "This is a good idea. Before the soap workshop is profitable, this is the most stable way. The most it will cost is some raw materials and labor costs. This way, the village will not be unable to afford it. Once the soap workshop is profitable, it will not be too late to improve the conditions of the workshop. However, there is one thing: basic equipment cannot be lacking, and the venue cannot be small, otherwise it will be troublesome later."

"That's right, so I'm looking for you to discuss how to finalize some of the specific details."

"Ding, random mission. The host needs to provide the village with a soap workshop schematic to make the construction of the soap workshop more reasonable. Completing the mission will reward you with 5,000 survival points."

Nowadays, the system is very generous. The survival value is easily in four digits. Xiaoling knows the host's attributes. If the survival value is not distributed more, the host will probably die of laziness one day and will not even want to earn a living.

Li Miaomiao originally had no intention of interfering in other people's business, but a workshop structure map was not difficult to obtain, and earning 5,000 survival points was quite worthwhile.

"How about this, I'll draw the structural diagram of the soap workshop in the next few days, and then I'll discuss it with the master chef and make some changes to the unreasonable parts, and then it will be done."

Zhang Degen was really worried about this. There were skilled craftsmen in the village, but they were all house builders. However, what they wanted to build was not ordinary houses, but soap workshops, which was a bit of a dilemma.

I didn't expect Li Miaomiao to take the initiative to take over this matter.

In this way, things will be much simpler. When the time comes, we can just follow the drawings drawn by Li Miaomiao and ask the master builder to see if they are reasonable, and then everyone can start working.

"Uncle Degen, are you planning to use red bricks or adobe bricks for building this workshop? Red bricks will be stronger and more beautiful, while adobe bricks are cheaper and only require the labor of everyone in the village."

“Use adobe bricks.”

Zhang Degen took a puff of his pipe and said slowly

The conditions in the village are here. They cannot be unrealistic and achieve everything in one step. Building a brick house is still a bit difficult. Everyone is looking forward to the construction of the soap workshop because everyone in the village is poor.

When Li Miaomiao proposed this, she had already guessed Zhang Degen's choice, which was also the choice of most people in the village.

"That's fine. There's no requirement for that. As long as the mud house is well built, it's the same. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, so there's nothing wrong with that."

"There's one more thing. County Magistrate Liang is coming to our village to inspect it personally. He wants to see the soap you make. Are you confident?"

"Of course I'm sure, but I need the village's help to solve the problem of materials. I've almost used up all the materials I have on hand for making soap. Even if I still have some money, you know, there are some things that cannot be purchased without tickets."

Li Miaomiao does not have this spirit of dedication. It is not the right thing to use her own things to fill the village. No one in the village will be grateful to her for this, and they may even take it for granted in the future. Rules must be established from the beginning.

What's more, even the raw materials for making soap are not something that can be bought at any time. When the source is mentioned, someone might find fault with her from the details and ask her where the raw materials come from. She can't explain it clearly. She can't just reveal the system mall, otherwise she will be sent to a secret research institute.

"Of course. Since this is a village matter, it's natural that the village should bear the cost of the raw materials for making soap."

When Li Miaomiao brought this up, Zhang Degen had no objection at all. This was actually the right thing to do.

"The materials used to make the soap samples were also provided by the village. It's fine if you contributed, but it doesn't make sense to ask you to provide the materials. This is against the rules. Since we are going to build a soap workshop, we must establish a set of rules and regulations in the future. We should follow the rules and regulations to avoid chaos."

Zhang Degen saw it very clearly, worthy of being the village chief and team leader for so many years, which made Li Miaomiao nod in her heart.

Although Zhang Degen is not very smart in business, he is good at listening to other people's suggestions. Compared with other things, Li Miaomiao thinks this is Zhang Degen's best point.

"Okay, then I'll make a list for you. You can prepare the materials and I'll try making it. As long as the materials are good, it will be absolutely foolproof in front of the boss."

"I believe you on this point, but it's rare for such a high-ranking leader to visit our village. Don't be nervous when the time comes. Just respond to him the same way you would to me normally. Don't be nervous, and stay calm."

Li Miaomiao didn't understand what the village chief was worried about after hearing this, and felt a little funny.

It was just a meeting with the county leaders, so why should she be nervous? It wasn't like she had done anything shameful, so she was doing it with dignity.

"Uncle Degen, don't worry. I won't let you down at the critical moment. It's just making soap and answering some questions from the boss. It's not something I can't handle. Don't worry."

Seeing that Li Miaomiao was really not nervous or worried at all, Zhang Degen seemed to be noticing that meeting the county leaders was a very common thing. This mentality was much better than that of his good-for-nothing son.

"Guoan wife, are you really not nervous at all?"

"Uncle Degen, the county leaders aren't man-eating tigers. There's no need to be nervous. Just answer their questions truthfully. Maybe they'll see our difficult situation and offer some support. They're county leaders, and if they lend a hand, it won't hurt us more than asking for favors from everyone."

Zhang Degen's eyes lit up when he heard this. Isn't that exactly the truth? Of course he hoped it was like that, but he just didn't dare to think about it.

After all, he thought it was very good that the leader agreed to build a soap workshop in their village, so how could he cause more trouble for the leader?

Li Miaomiao saw that Zhang Degen was stupid and honest.

Even if the leaders above are pragmatic and want to serve the people, you people below you have to learn to cry and tell them about your difficulties so that the leaders can understand and help solve the problems. Otherwise, they will still think that the people are living well.

If you hide everything and carry everything on your own, then you are just being foolish and honest.

"It would be nice if it were possible, but leaders also have their own difficulties. We can't ask for too much and make things difficult for them." Zhang Degen was still limited by some things.

"Uncle Degen, you're wrong. We're not doing this for our own selfish interests. We're doing this for everyone in the village. We want to let the leaders know about our difficulties. Only when good things happen will they think of our village. We're not forcing them to do anything. It's up to them to decide for themselves. We have no influence over that."
