"Guoan wife, I've been thinking about it all night, but I still can't figure out what the mold should look like, so I came to you. Can you help me come up with an idea of what the soap mold should look like?"
"Yes, Guoan's wife, since you brought it up, you must have an idea. Why don't you give us some help and some pointers? Otherwise, if the mold we make doesn't look good, it won't matter. But if it delays the construction of the soap workshop in the village, that's a big deal."
Everyone worked together and was determined to build the soap workshop. This spirit touched Li Miaomiao.
This kind of thing only happens in this era. In the future, although life will be better, this simple spirit will be lacking.
Li Miaomiao would not refuse such a small matter. Besides, this was her idea in the first place. If the carpenter made a few haphazardly, she would have to redo the work if she was not satisfied.
She had originally planned to draw a pattern yesterday, but the village chief was too anxious and rushed out to make arrangements, without giving her a chance to speak.
"It's not that difficult. I'll give you a few patterns and you just have to make them."
"That's great, Guoan's wife, you have solved a big problem for us."
Seeing that Li Miaomiao agreed so readily, the two carpenters thanked her gratefully.
Li Miaomiao was not vague and started working with a pen. It didn't take long before several soap molds with simple patterns appeared on the paper.
For Li Miaomiao, such a simple painting has no technical difficulty at all.
The two carpenters were overjoyed to hear this. After thanking Li Miaomiao, they discussed and went out, wanting to finish the soap mold as soon as possible.
Li Miaomiao looked at their enthusiasm for working day and night and shook her head again. She felt a little more empathy in her heart. Maybe she could spend more time and effort to do this thing well, instead of just from the perspective of completing the task.
Sometimes people are such strange animals. Even if they have made plans originally, they are prone to develop certain emotions when they are in a certain environment, and thus make some decisions. Even if this decision is not beneficial to themselves, they will still do it.
Although she had agreed to just sit back and relax, Li Miaomiao had a feeling at this moment that she might not be able to do that for the time being.
After all, there is really no one in the village who can coordinate the overall situation and arrange this matter. Even Zhang Degen, who is good at arranging the affairs of the village, has many shortcomings in this matter.
"What a toilsome life I have!"
Li Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh. She was always prepared to be a lazy person, but in the end she was exhausted.
She was also speechless to herself.
Ling Xiaoling was so relieved to see the host like this in the virtual space. It was really not easy to see the host making progress. It would be great if the host could always be so easily impressed.
Secretary Ying came back just as County Magistrate Liang was about to leave work.
Seeing the square soap bar on the table, I couldn't react for a moment: "What is this?"
"The soap samples were sent by Zhang Degen. He wants to build a soap workshop in the village."
After hearing what County Magistrate Liang said, Secretary Ying took another careful look at it. Apart from being a large, square piece, it really looked like soap, but the shape was a little different from the usual soap.
"Building a soap workshop? Zhang Degen is quite creative, but making soap isn't like making mud bricks in the countryside. It requires a lot of technical skills. Can the village meet the requirements? What is the effect of this soap?"
"I've tried it, and it's quite good. It's even better than the soap I bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. However, due to some issues, I haven't given Zhang Degen complete approval. I'm waiting for you to come back and discuss this with me. This is no small matter."
"It's a matter that concerns the livelihood of a large brigade of people, so it's certainly not a trivial matter."
Secretary Ying said this as he picked up the soap and tried it himself before sitting down to talk to County Magistrate Liang.
"It's really good. It feels better, the foam is fine, and the aroma is pleasant. But it's a bit bulky and unsightly. This is not a big problem. The appearance can be improved."
Secretary Ying gave a pertinent evaluation. It was time to get off work, but he did not leave. Instead, he took County Magistrate Liang to the cafeteria and talked about the soap workshop while eating.
Any matter concerning people's livelihood is not a trivial matter, and he knows the situation in Fanglin Village. The villagers in the village do live in poverty. Although the general environment is like this, the situation in their village is worse than that of several other nearby villages, not to mention compared with Zhaojia Village, which is a typical opposite.
"If this is feasible, the soap workshop can be set up as soon as possible, and our county will provide some assistance."
After using the soap, Secretary Ying thought this was feasible.
"Zhang Degen really put his heart into it this time. He actually came up with this idea. It's a credit to him that he figured it out. This soap is different from other products. It requires technical skills."
"Zhang Degen doesn't have such a brainpower. This was the idea of a woman from their village. She's a very thoughtful woman. It's said her husband sacrificed his life for the village. Now she's raising her children and supporting her family alone. She's a truly admirable woman. They say women hold up half the sky, and this woman is an outstanding example of that. She might even set an example for our county."
County Magistrate Liang had asked about the situation of this female comrade at that time, so he spoke of it very familiarly.
"Oh, there's such a thing? I remember there was an incident in Fanglin Village before. Comrade Pei Guoan was a very good comrade, but I didn't expect that something bad would happen to him at such a young age. I felt very sorry at the time. Could this female comrade be a family member of Comrade Pei Guoan?"
Secretary Ying was very familiar with the situation in Fanglin Village. When he heard what County Magistrate Liang said, he immediately remembered something.
"That's right. I didn't expect this woman to be so strong. I even told Zhang Degen to take good care of Pei Guoan's family."
County Magistrate Liang also has an impression of such an outstanding comrade as Comrade Pei Guoan.
"It's a good thing that the soap workshop can be built. It will not only solve the poverty problem in Fanglin Village, but also bring economic benefits to our county, which is currently economically backward."
"I think the same thing. Not only is it because of the situation in Fanglin Village, but we don't have a soap factory in the city. All the soap is shipped in from outside, which increases the cost. And there's also a limited supply. I've heard people complain about this before. This supply simply can't meet everyone's daily needs. I asked someone to coordinate it before, but it didn't help. The problem is that the soap factory is too far away. If a soap workshop could really be opened in Fanglin Village, this problem could be solved."
