Chapter 153 The Village is Full of Energy
Their off-season vegetables sell very well.
Basically sold out in half an hour.
Those factory workers who wanted to finish their meal before coming here for a stroll found that the stall had already closed by the time they arrived.
The common people living near the factory were not as wealthy as the factory workers. Even though they knew that the vegetables were selling well, they did not come to buy them.
After all, it is still quite expensive. I can't help but sigh that it is really smart to come here to sell vegetables. The people in the steel factory are not short of money and are willing to spend money on food.
For example, off-season vegetables cost 30 cents per pound, which is really not cheap. Only people in the steel factory would buy them without blinking an eye.
After all the vegetables are sold.
The company arranged for them to go to the cafeteria for lunch. When the chefs saw Lu Xiang, they greeted her, saying, "The food in your village is quite good."
Their kitchen bought some yesterday and made some dishes, which made everyone more enthusiastic about eating lunch.
The chef couldn't understand why vegetables grown against the solar terms tasted better than those grown in summer.
Lu Xiang said: "These are all improved varieties developed by our old professor!"
In addition, there are no chemical fertilizers or pesticides used nowadays, everything is purely natural. For example, when you break a tomato open, it is full of sandy flesh, and it tastes sweet.
As they talked, the diners around them listened intently. Hearing that even the chef praised their dishes, they felt even better. They planned to buy some tomorrow.
After getting the food, I found a small table to eat.
The food at the steel plant, one meat dish and two vegetable dishes, tastes pretty good.
Liu Zhang asked, "What did the people at the spring factory say?"
Lu Xiang told them that the spring factory needed 500 kilograms of vegetables tomorrow.
Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Their factory always wants to compare with ours!" There was a sense of superiority in his words.
Lu Xiang said nothing.
Today's meat dish is scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which is sweet and sour and delicious, especially when mixed with rice, it tastes even better.
Everyone loves to eat this.
Only the steel mills are so wealthy that they are willing to make a big pot of persimmons that cost only three cents a pound.
When it was time to go back, everyone was eager to go home.
As the women's director got off the car, the village chief was at the village entrance, looking at them and asking, "How's it going?" What he was most concerned about was whether the 50 kilograms of peppers had been ordered.
It was the largest order they had ever received.
The director of the women's affairs office saw that there were still many villagers around. She suppressed her excitement and said, "Let's go to the village committee and talk to them."
The group quickly went to the village committee.
When we sat down, the director of women's affairs had a smile on her face and seemed to relax.
The village chief was anxious and asked beside him, "What are you laughing at?"
The director of women's affairs opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but her heart was pounding and she was too excited to speak.
Lu Xiang said, "The 50 kilograms of peppers have already been ordered, and another 100 kilograms were ordered today, and there are still many people who want them. We can pick 300 kilograms of peppers tomorrow and sell them all."
Lu Xiang took a deep breath and said, "The spring factory heard that our vegetables are good and ordered 500 kilograms from us!"
The village chief gasped. It turned out that a fifty-kilogram order was already very exciting for them.
Unexpectedly, this time selling vegetables also alarmed the leaders of the spring factory, and they placed an order of 500 kilograms from them.
The village chief's eyes lit up.
The village cadres nearby couldn't help but ask, "How much did you sell today?"
The director of the women's department took out all the money and counted it. It was more than 170 yuan.
Everyone was shocked again.
The income from selling vegetables is getting higher day by day. So many vegetables have been ordered for tomorrow. It seems that the income of 200 yuan will not be enough.
Lu Xiang said, "The food in our village is good."
When the village chief heard this, he said, "There are not enough people to pick vegetables."
Originally there were only three of us, and we could handle this little bit of work, but now there are so many orders, and we have to pick the good ones, organize them, and pack them, and we have to confirm them clearly.
The village chief said, "I will go to the village to mobilize everyone to participate!" As soon as he finished speaking, the village chief hurried away as if he was on a whirlwind.
The director of the women's department has to do the accounting and registration, and she is very busy.
Lu Xiang and Lu's mother were now free.
The women's director smiled and said, "Thank goodness you came along." The women's director didn't know what was going on. She was a big shot in the village, but when she arrived in the county, she was too embarrassed to speak.
Even Mother Lu is more graceful and elegant than her.
The old cadres in the village asked the women's director to tell everyone about the steel plant selling vegetables over and over again.
Even though I've heard it several times before, I still enjoy it when I hear it again.
It was as if they had been through it all too.
Each of them held a teacup and sighed to each other: "I didn't expect this dish to be so good."
“People in the county are so rich!”
"Yes, I buy things without blinking an eye."
They don't have the time to buy things so lavishly.
As they were talking, someone knocked on the door and said that the village chief wanted to call a meeting: "Let everyone go to the threshing floor."
When everyone heard this, they went over immediately.
From a distance, I saw the village chief standing on a pile of firewood. He said, "Everyone knows about our village's vegetable farming. We need help now. We'll calculate the work points. Let's work together."
As soon as the village chief spoke, everyone in the village responded enthusiastically: "Okay, we'll do whatever you say!"
"That's great! I've been so idle these days that I'm almost getting hairy. I'm just willing to work."
"This is your fate of suffering."
"Hey, who said it wasn't!"
"By the way, how are the vegetables selling?"
"I'm fine."
The voices below were one after another.
The village chief said, "I plan to build a few more greenhouses before winter comes and freezes." He originally wanted to build them in the spring, but seeing that the vegetables in the village were selling so well, he really couldn't sit still.
Since I have money, I might as well invest it all in it.
I'm so eager to do something big that no one can stop me.
The village chief is quite ambitious, but he has no place to show his ambition on weekdays.
Now that we have off-season vegetables, we are full of energy.
The whole village was inspired by him.
"Village chief, let's get started now."
The villagers had helped build the greenhouse, and they still had some tarpaulin left. But they were still short of steel bars and angle iron, so the village chief planned to ask the professor.
…
The old professor was very happy to see the village chief give them more land. The bigger the land, the more they could do.
The old professor said, "We don't have to grow all vegetables. We can also try some fruit. The Fire Crystal Persimmons and Autumn Pears cultivated by the Provincial Agricultural College are sweet and soothing to the lungs, and are perfect for growing here."
The village chief said, "It's okay to plant this, but it will take several years for the fruit trees to grow!" The villagers wanted to buy a tractor and wanted to get a quick return.
The old professor said: "If you pay, you can buy ten-year-old seedlings, which will surely produce fruit the same year!" And it is said that persimmons with this taste are very good.
The village chief waved his hand and said, "Buy!" He was just worried about having nothing to do because there were too few fruits in winter! If he could really cultivate them, they would definitely be more popular than vegetables.
