If you ask Lan about the ones she has at home, she will say she has already bought one.
Aunt Ma, Aunt Xiangqin, there were people raising chickens nearby, and Liu Xiulan went to their homes to tell them about the good chickens.
Jiang Tang originally wanted to help her mother, but people from Sha Luo Village came.
Before entering the village, he shouted Jiangtang's name with a loudspeaker outside Youcaoling Village.
She lived at the end of the village and couldn't hear the loudspeaker no matter how loud it was.
The key is that some villagers would not inform her even if they heard it.
Instead, they try their best to conceal it.
It was her mother who was watching the chickens at a fellow villager's house at the village entrance who heard it and informed her.
Erdao saw Jiang Tang riding his bike to Shaluo Village and said, "Secretary Jiang, why are you going there? They don't like us. If they ask you to go there, it might not be good."
"Yes, I don't know what bad things he will do."
"Shaluo Village must be jealous of our village because they see how much money it makes."
Jiang Tang laughed and explained, "Fellow villagers, after all, I manage these two villages, and that area is also within my responsibility. Don't worry, everyone. If he really does something bad, I won't agree."
Jiang Tang said a few words to them and then rode his bike to the village entrance.
The person who came this time was Captain Sun’s younger brother, Sun Maomin.
"Secretary Jiang, I finally called you out."
"Comrade Maomin, what do you want from me?"
"Secretary Jiang, you are also the team leader of our village. You can't just focus on Caotou Village all day long."
Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Hey, Comrade Maomin, it's not like I haven't been to your village before, but I don't have this attitude."
"Ahem, well, Secretary Jiang, it's getting late, let's go back to the village first."
Jiang Tang stopped talking and followed him to Shaluo Village.
This time, as soon as the ginger candy entered Shaluo Village, it felt like entering Youcaoling, and all the villagers were very enthusiastic.
"Director Jiang is here."
"I haven't seen Secretary Jiang for more than ten days. He has lost weight. Caotou Village must not have taken good care of him."
"Secretary Jiang, come to my house for dinner today."
Sun Maomin said, "Don't crowd around Secretary Jiang. The captain is waiting."
Jiang Tang greeted everyone with a smile and promised, "I'll definitely come and bother you all when I have time in the future."
When they arrived at Captain Sun's house, Captain Sun had already "ceremoniously" prepared tea for her.
Jiang Tang was extremely surprised: "Captain Sun, what's wrong today? Did you change the tune?"
Captain Sun smiled and said, "What's the big deal? I really do have something to talk to you about."
"What's up?"
“I told the villagers about growing sugarcane, and they all agreed.
However, sugarcane has two seasons a year, one in April and May, and the other in August and September. It’s a bit early to plant it now, but it’s not impossible.
Now more than three thousand acres have been planted.”
"More than three mu of land isn't enough. We can't make much brown sugar."
"I asked Hongying and her husband, and they said that 10 kilograms of sugarcane can produce one kilogram of sugar, and it would be very good if we could harvest 500 kilograms of sugarcane from one mu of land."
"One acre of land can produce 500 kilograms of sugar, which means 50 kilograms of sugar, or maybe even less. Captain Sun, three acres of land, 150 kilograms of sugar—I can cover the cost of that with a single trip to the department store. In our first year, we must plant at least 10 acres."
"Ten acres of land? Are you kidding me? How can we have that much land to grow sugarcane in our village?"
"This...can be grown in fields, backyards, etc."
"There are natural species that can be grown, but there aren't many."
Jiang Tang also frowned.
"Secretary Jiang, I see that everyone in Caotou Village is raising rabbits. Why don't we raise some in our village too?"
Jiang Tang took out her little notebook and looked at the notes she had made before.
Jiang Tang stared at the winding pattern of the Sara River on the notebook. Inspiration surged in his mind, his thoughts became clearer, and he had a bold idea.
She raised her head with a burning gaze and said to Captain Sun, "Captain Sun, I have a good idea.
There's a large amount of unused riverbank land around the Shaluo River behind our village. Although the river floods briefly during the rainy season each year, with advance planning and scientific planning, this land can be fully utilized for sugarcane cultivation. Furthermore, we can use this planting as an opportunity to systematically manage the riverbed, thus addressing the issue of unused land resources while effectively preventing the hidden dangers of flooding.
Captain Sun was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh. "Hey, why didn't I think of that? Secretary Jiang, you're really quick-witted." But in the blink of an eye, his brows were tightly knitted into the shape of the Chinese character "川" (Chuan), and his face was filled with worry. "But those wastelands are quite bumpy and uneven, and they flood during the rainy season. Managing the river is by no means an easy task. Secretary Zhou led us in this effort before, and it cost a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, but with little success. Our small village really can't afford to go through this."
Jiang Tang raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a confident and calm smile: "Captain Sun, many things cannot be accomplished overnight. When it comes to river management, very few things can be accomplished overnight.
"If we learn from past mistakes, make fresh changes, and mobilize all villagers to work together, we will surely succeed. Furthermore, once the river is properly managed, it won't just benefit sugarcane cultivation; irrigation for the entire village will become more convenient and efficient. This is absolutely a win-win situation!"
Captain Sun fell into deep thought, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
Anyway, I can't lose to Luo Fengquan by the end of the year. Thinking about what Secretary Jiang has done for Caotou Village, I think I can be bold and believe it this time.
After a long while, he slowly nodded and said firmly, "Okay, Director Jiang, I trust you! I'll do as you say. However, once the sugarcane planting area is expanded, sales will be a big problem. Are you sure?"
Jiang Tang laughed at the sound. "Captain Sun, you sound like we should plant as much sugarcane as we have land." Then he immediately flipped open the small notebook he carried with him, pointing his slender finger at the densely packed information on it. He spoke methodically, "Besides the traditional sales channel of department stores, we can also proactively contact some food processing factories. Think about it, the demand for brown sugar in the food processing industry is quite considerable, especially in the pastry industry. Well, I roughly estimated that even if we planted all the land in our village with sugarcane, I could help sell it."
When the people in the room heard this, their faces were filled with joy. It was good news that they had already seen the piles of supplies they had received for the fall.
Captain Sun slammed his hand on the table, making a crisp "pa" sound. "Okay, it's settled! I'll call a meeting with the villagers right away to discuss our ideas and plans, and mobilize everyone to contribute to the development of the village."
Jiang Tang smiled: "Captain Sun, you know there's going to be a meeting this time."
Sun Maocheng blushed and stiffened his neck, saying, "This requires mobilizing the entire village. Naturally, we need to hold a meeting to discuss where to get the soil from and how to fill it."
