Captain Sun turned around upon hearing the voice, a simple smile on his face: "Secretary Jiang, you're here! Come inside and have a drink of water."
Jiang Tang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Captain Sun, I don't want to drink water anymore. I'm anxious to see the quality of the goods you received. This order is very important, so we have to ensure the quality."
Captain Sun patted his chest and said in a firm tone: "Don't worry, the things we collected were carefully selected by several of our leaders, so there is absolutely no problem. Come, I'll take you to have a look." As he said that, he led Jiang Tang to the place where the goods were stored.
Jiang Tang squatted down and looked through the agricultural products carefully. From time to time, he picked one up to look at it and even put it under his nose to smell it.
Captain Sun watched nervously from the side, without blinking.
After a long while, Jiang Tang nodded with satisfaction: "Well, Captain Sun, the quality is really good. Let's keep these for now and see how the harvest from other villages goes tomorrow."
The accountant on the side said, "Don't worry, Secretary Jiang, our warehouse is better than the one in Caotou Village.
Our village has finally had such a good opportunity, and we can’t let quality issues ruin our reputation.”
Jiang Tang stood up, dusted off his hands, and said, "Yes, keep the accountant, that's the reason.
Captain Sun, I also want to check on the sugarcane seedlings. I also received an order for brown sugar this time, but unfortunately Aunt Hongying doesn't have much. We need to plant them early so we can harvest them sooner."
"Sugarcane seedlings?" Captain Sun slapped his forehead, a trace of annoyance flashing across his face. "Oh, look at my memory! I've been so busy these past few days, catching up on the autumn harvest and sorting out the goods, I almost forgot about this. But don't worry, the seedlings in the nursery behind the village are growing well. I was planning to arrange for people to plant them in the next two days, but I was worried that I couldn't find you to discuss a time."
Seeing that Captain Sun was extremely busy but full of energy, Jiang Tang couldn't help but say, "Captain Sun, it seems like this order has really motivated you!"
Captain Sun laughed heartily. "Of course not! I'm still waiting to compete with Caotou Village. Time hasn't come yet, so we have to hurry. Can you help me find out what else the village can sell? Sell it to us."
Jiang Tang smiled: "Captain Sun, there is no need for this.
Caotou Village is actually just growing vegetables right now. The sugarcane is also growing fast. We try to harvest it before the snow falls in winter."
Captain Sun nodded vigorously. "Okay, Jiangtang, let's do whatever you say. As long as it can make the village prosperous, I'm happy to do it no matter how hard or tiring it is."
The few of them discussed the details of sugarcane planting, and Jiangtang left with peace of mind.
On the other side, Meng Si Ning, Liu Nian and Zhao Qunying, each filled a kettle with water, carried a small basket, took Xiao Ye, and went up the mountain with great enthusiasm.
"Liu Nian, did you say there are really wild vegetables on this mountain?" Zhao Qunying looked around curiously as she walked, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.
Liu Nian said confidently, "Of course there are! I heard from an old man in the village this morning that there are a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains, such as shepherd's purse, purslane, and gray grass. They are everywhere in the mountains. Let's go and try our luck today. Maybe we can come back with a good harvest."
As they walked, Zhao Qunying's eyes suddenly lit up. "Look at the vegetables growing so well all over the mountain! They're so lush and green, it's a delight to look at. Si Ning, take a picture of them quickly. I'll show them to the director when I get back. Maybe I can help the newspaper order some vegetables. My colleagues at the newspaper will definitely love such fresh vegetables."
Meng Si Ning smiled and nodded: "That's a good idea. It would be great if the newspaper's cafeteria could use vegetables from the village."
Meng Sining quickly pulled out his camera and snapped a picture of the vibrant scene. In the picture, the vegetables swayed gently in the breeze, as if showcasing the joy of a good harvest.
Turning around, I saw villagers busy working in the fields below.
From this angle, Meng Sining took a very meaningful photo of the harvest.
Liu Nian discovered a large patch of mushrooms at the foot of the mountain and jumped up excitedly: "Wow, come and see, there are so many mushrooms here! They are all white and look like little umbrellas."
Zhao Qunying also came over and said in surprise, "Really? These mushrooms look fresh and tender. They must be delicious. Let's pick some and take some home."
As Liu Nian was picking, he said, "When I leave, I have to bring some back for my family to try. They've definitely never tasted such fresh wild mushrooms."
After a while, many more gray vegetables were found.
Zhao Qunying said happily, "That's great! Today's harvest is quite good. We have mushrooms and ash-greens. What are we going to eat tomorrow?"
"Haha, now there's so much food that I'm worried about what to eat."
A few people hummed little songs and returned home with a full load.
When I returned to the yard, I saw Jiang Tang had already returned and there was a chicken tied in the yard.
He also got a big leg of lamb. Liu Nian and Zhao Qunying were so surprised that their mouths almost stretched to their ears.
"Jiang Tang, where did you get such a big leg of lamb?" Liu Nian's eyes widened with surprise, as if he had seen the most precious treasure in the world.
Jiang Tang smiled proudly: "Hey, these are wild goats caught in the next village. We are in for a treat today. We will have roasted lamb legs tonight."
Zhao Qunying rubbed her hands and asked impatiently, "Do you want to cut it up and roast it, or roast it whole? I can't wait any longer."
Jiang Tang waved his hand and said proudly, "Of course I roast it whole. It's more satisfying to eat it this way. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Take a bite and the taste is simply amazing! Sprinkle some cumin and chili powder on it, and I'm salivating just thinking about it."
