Chapter 149 The first show of selling vegetables is a success
Lu Xiang was quite successful in selling vegetables and sold out all the vegetables on her first visit.
The women's director had been worried about not being able to sell any of the produce, but now things are looking good. Lu Xiang sold off the little she had at a bargain price, leaving only two empty baskets. This was the best possible outcome.
On the way back to the village, the director of the women's department was so excited holding the money, as she had seen money before.
But this time, the off-season vegetables are grown in greenhouses built by the villagers themselves, which means something different than before. When I get home and tell them about it, the villagers will definitely be delighted.
When we arrived at the village, we saw half of the villagers waiting at the entrance.
You can smell the faint aroma of fried stinky tofu in the air from a distance. Although the smell is pungent, it attracts repeat customers!
The men in the village spend all day trying to get some money to eat stinky tofu.
The gossipy women in Dayu Village all looked for opportunities to tell the village chief that their village should sell stinky tofu!
Whoever sells this thing will make money!
But the village chief was unmoved and said that there was still a vegetable business in the village, which shut everyone up. Now everyone wanted to see how much money Lu Xiang and the others could make.
The women's director and Lu Xiang got out of the car together. The village chief, the village party secretary and several old professors surrounded them. In fact, they were all quite nervous.
After all, this is the first time for a young lady to get into a bridal sedan.
Lu Xiang knew what they were worried about and was the first to tell them the good news: "Sales are good today!"
The women's director added, "They've all been sold."
When the villagers around heard this, they were all happy. This was great.
When he took the vegetable basket down, it was indeed empty! Fatty Liu said, "I'll go back first." He had a car and was free. It was just past noon when he left, so he could still get some sleep when he got home.
When the people around saw Fat Liu leaving, they wanted to surround him.
Before she could ask in detail, the director of the women's affairs department took Lu Xiang's hand and said in a very friendly manner, "Go to the village committee and talk!"
It's inconvenient outside.
Lu Xiang went to the village committee with other village cadres, and then several old professors were invited in.
The director of women's affairs took out all the money in her pocket and put it on the table. There were not only small coins but also five and ten yuan bills.
The village chief took a look and saw that there were both decimals and whole numbers, and the final result was sixty-four and a half yuan.
The old professor was also a little excited.
The director of women's affairs arranged to distribute the money to the old professors, who accounted for 40% of the pinks.
Moreover, the old professor's research institute is lacking in some things.
The residence also needs to be renovated and all aspects of the renovation are in need of money. The old professors are dressed very simply. If you don’t tell them their identities, you would think they are genuine farmers.
The women's director advocated dividing the money but was stopped by the village chief.
The village chief said, "It's troublesome to collect one cent at a time. People may not have the time for this. I plan to hire an accountant for our village to keep a summary of the accounts every day, and collect one cent a month."
The village chief also said to the old professor: "If you don't have money, I can advance you some money first!"
The old professor waved his hand and said, "As long as these vegetables can be sold, we don't need the money for now."
This news was enough to make the people in their institute happy for a while.
Other colleagues from the village committee asked the women's director what it was like to sell vegetables. If the car had been full, they would have wanted to go too.
The women's director gulped down some water and then began to recount her experiences in the county, which made the village chief envious.
It turned out that they didn't suffer at all there. They sold all their goods quickly, and the steel plant director's son even invited them to dinner. Even the village head didn't receive such treatment in the county.
The women's director looked at the village chief provocatively, with a smug look on her face.
Lu Xiang said, "Tomorrow, we need to get more cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, and tomatoes. These things sell quickly."
The women's director quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, these are the first to sell out."
She later found out that people in the steel mill usually didn't eat at home. They usually ate in the cafeteria, and occasionally ate at home to improve their lives.
They have seized the opportunity to make this dish. There are no more green vegetables in the county, and they have had enough of radishes and cabbages!
The old professor said, "Okay, I will definitely bring you more tomorrow." There were plenty of vegetables growing in the fields.
Their results are pretty good.
The women's director said to the village chief, "This time, thanks to Fatty Liu coming along and picking us up and dropping us off, isn't this a favor we owe him for nothing?"
The village chief said: "How about this, the village will give him 20 yuan as wages."
They knew that Fat Liu's family was well-off, but what other people had was theirs.
Moreover, the village chief is very smart. He knows that Liu Pang is the son of the pig farm director. If he has a relationship with such a person, the village will definitely need him in the future.
The village chief couldn't help but sigh, Lu Xiang's connections are so comprehensive that she can even connect with people like this.
The women's director was very satisfied when she heard this. However, the village committee had to vote unanimously to use the village's money.
The women's director brought up another matter with the village chief.
This trip was quite stimulating for her: "When will our village be able to buy a car?"
It was so comfortable to ride in a car. For the first time, I felt that the dilapidated road from their village to the county was so smooth and passed by in a flash.
The wind is blowing in the car, and I feel light and airy. If I can't buy a car, I might as well buy a tractor, which can carry both things and cargo, so I won't have to borrow other people's cars anymore.
The village chief was so impressed by her words that he dreamed of buying a tractor.
Especially after Village Chief Bai bought it, his desire for the tractor became more obvious: "Let's do it well this time, and then we can buy a tractor next year."
The village chief has made inquiries and wants to buy a tractor for 30,000 yuan, and he will just buy the cheaper ones sold by the Agricultural Power Bureau.
The other village cadres were also very excited after hearing this.
After the meeting, everyone had a smile on their face! The village needs to report to the higher authorities about hiring an accountant, so for the time being, the director of the women's department will serve as the accountant.
Lu Xiang came out of the village committee and met her mother.
Mother Lu came specially to wait for Lu Xiang and said, "I want to go with you to sell vegetables tomorrow." She had lost all her pigs and couldn't sit idle at home, so she wanted to go out for a walk.
Also, my eldest daughter was brought over to do packaging, and she can earn some manual labor fees every morning.
They work by the piece, so the more you work, the more you earn, and the less you work, the less you earn. No one says anything.
But Mother Lu knew that this was all for Lu Xiang's sake. She wanted to do something to respond to everyone's care.
Lu Xiang went to ask the director of women's affairs.
The director of the women's department now looked at Lu Xiang like her own daughter. As soon as she heard what she said, she said, "Okay, the three of us will go together tomorrow."
When the villagers found out, they were so envious and wanted to join in the fun.
