Chapter 128 Fried Stinky Tofu
The people from the investigation team were talking to Lu Xiang, and there were quite a few people surrounding them.
Mrs. Li was excited when she saw this. She immediately said, "As a public servant, you're actually doing private work!"
The village chief did not want his family's dirty laundry to be aired publicly. He saw that Mrs. Li was spreading rumors and damaging the village's image.
The village chief was a little angry: "Why doesn't Lu Xiang think about the village? Isn't that vegetable greenhouse theirs? And what about the pig farming? Don't you have any idea of how much extra money you got?"
They have already done so much for the village, yet some people are still not satisfied.
Other village cadres only do their part and ignore anything beyond their responsibility, fearing they'll make more mistakes if they overdo things. Now there's someone willing to help everyone get rich, so why hurt others' feelings?
Moreover, Luxiang is the bridge connecting the village and the county.
The county leaders valued Lu Xiang. The fertilizer plant director even called a while ago to transfer her there, hoping she would be given a county hukou. Lu Xiang didn't agree, so how could she still make mistakes at work?
Mrs. Li didn't like Lu Xiang, but she didn't dare to openly confront the village chief. The comrades from the investigation team said, "It's okay. We've already learned some things. This matter is not much different from what we know!"
They turned and went to Fat Liu to find out the situation.
They use some pork scraps and reprocess them into food that everyone likes. The feedback has been quite positive. Liu Pang said he was the one who spearheaded this project. Lu Xiang was just there to help out.
Partnership and employment are two different things.
It is normal to go out and do some work after the autumn harvest.
The village never cares about the skilled carpenters and bricklayers who go out to do some work to earn a little money.
When the others heard what the investigation team said, they all looked at Li Dayuan and his wife with strange eyes.
He didn't do any work but still wanted to claim people's wages. How shameless is he?
Xiao Cailian rushed over immediately after hearing this, saying, "Who the hell is that? He even reported our Lu Xiang. He doesn't do his job but keeps staring at others all day. Bah! Despicable!"
Xiao Cailian said, "Lu Xiang spends all the money she earns on me. If you have any problems, come to me!" No one else dared to talk to her. If she started to throw a tantrum, even the village chief would be afraid of her.
After the investigation team figured out the situation, they left.
The others were fine, but Li Dayuan was singled out by the village chief and severely criticized: "The village has no room for you anymore. You should not stay in the village if you are so capable." Then he was told to find a place to accept him, as the village no longer wanted him.
This is a big deal.
Household registration is very important for ordinary people.
When his father heard about it, he slapped Li Dayuan twice on the spot and made him kneel down and apologize.
Soon, the sobbing became deafening, and soon Li Dayuan's wife also came over, beating and scolding her sister-in-law for being a troublemaker. Then she told her brother about how Li's wife had been crying to her brother all day long: "My husband was also bewitched for a while. Please give him another chance, village chief."
Li's father scolded her on the spot: "If you encourage your brother to do something wrong again, don't come back to your parents' home. I won't care if you die outside. I will sever the father-daughter relationship."
When Mrs. Li heard this, she was dumbfounded.
The others were also secretly muttering, "This guy usually looks pretty good. How could he be so bad?"
I don't dare to contact her anymore, for fear that I might offend her by saying something. Isn't there a saying that it's better to offend a gentleman than a villain?
Mrs. Li didn't know that after this incident, the villagers had completely distanced themselves from her.
The village chief was just trying to scare Li Dayuan, not to let this matter get to the end. He said, "I must teach you a lesson. So, next year, the main job of collecting manure will be on you."
The village burned manure, and every year they had to pile up the manure pits together. It wasn't tiring work, but it was a bit dirty.
No one in the village wanted to do this. It was always done by those who made mistakes, and this year it was his turn.
Seeing that the village chief had handled the situation perfectly, Lu Xiang said nothing more. At this moment, the rumbling sound of tractors from Baijia Village came from far away, attracting considerable attention.
The head of Baijia Village drove the tractor into the village, found a place to park, and then said, "I've heard everything." The delicious pork head meat at the county steel plant was actually made by Lu Xiang.
I came here specially today.
Village Chief Bai praised Lu Xiang profusely, saying that she was smart and outstanding, and that if Lu Xiang hadn't been married, he would have wanted to introduce his son to her.
The village chief glanced at him suspiciously, knowing that Village Chief Bai would not come to visit without a reason, and said, "If you have something to say, just tell me!"
Village Chief Bai said, "I can't hide anything from you."
Finally, he said it hesitantly.
It turned out their village had partnered with a tofu factory, which sold tofu to their village, and the villagers organized to sell it, earning more money. This was in line with the county's call for active development. Each village was seeking its own path to prosperity.
But tofu is cheap and you can't make much after a hard day's work. I heard that Lu Xiang has skills and her braised meat has caused a sensation throughout the steel plant. This skill is mouth-watering.
He deliberately came to ask Lu Xiang for advice out of respect.
Lu Xiang said: "It's not difficult to make tofu snacks!"
Village Chief Bai said, "Why don't you come to our village? The things are all here. You can give us some advice!" Lu Xiang nodded.
Village Chief Bai said to Village Chief Wang in great joy, "I'll borrow this man."
Lu Xiang agreed to him because she wanted to gain some reputation in many aspects.
Although the report just now did not cause any consequences, it made her very alert.
The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. The better Lu Xiang's life becomes, the more dangerous it becomes. Making more allies now will be very useful in the future.
Allies who cooperate economically are the most reliable.
They chatted without avoiding outsiders.
When the villagers of Dayu Village heard that Lu Xiang was going to help Baijia Village make money, they immediately winked at the village chief.
I don’t want Lu Xiang to help Baijia Village. If you have such a good idea, why not put it in your own village.
The village chief snorted coldly and said, "I'm so ashamed. She helps the village so much, but some villagers still want to mess with her!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stared at Li Dayuan and his wife.
The two men didn't dare to say anything more.
Village Chief Wang said, "We want to go and take a look too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people raised their hands and wanted to follow him. On the one hand, they wanted to see what Lu Xiang was doing because they were quite curious. On the other hand, they wanted to ride on a tractor and feel very proud.
Village Chief Bai agreed.
Soon, they set off with a dozen people from Dayu Village. Lu Xiang was the most important person and sat in the front.
Arrived at Baijia Village.
Lu Xiang simply ordered some seasoning, then cut the tofu into cubes and fried it. She then began to make the sauce, saying that someone would definitely buy it once it was done.
Village Chief Bai looked at him, not quite understanding, and said, "Oh, fried tofu!"
Lu Xiang corrected him: "It's stinky tofu!"
No one here has ever eaten fried stinky tofu. When Lu Xiang crushed the sauce and chunks of stinky fermented bean curd and added them to the seasoning, wow... it smelled incredibly bad.
Village Chief Bai was stunned. This was the expert he had asked for help. Then he looked at Village Chief Wang. Village Chief Wang and the villagers of Dayu Village were also stunned. The smell was so strong, as if the toilet had exploded.
