In the early morning, the sun shone on the land of the commune. It should have been a peaceful and harmonious scene, but the Hongguang Brigade was in an uproar.
Several villagers rushed to the captain's house, shouting in unison: "Captain, have you heard? Officer Jiang, who's in charge of Caotou and Shaluo villages, has helped several villages sell a lot of agricultural products, but our Hongguang Brigade doesn't get any share? This can't be right, we have to go and ask for details!"
Captain Hongguang frowned, his face not looking good. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go find Secretary Zhou!"
The group arrived at the commune in a rage. Upon seeing Secretary Zhou, Hongguang's Captain Yang, with a stern face, questioned, "Secretary Zhou, what exactly is Secretary Jiang up to? He's helped so many villages, but why has he left our Hongguang Brigade behind?"
Secretary Zhou slowly put down the documents in his hands. He knew this was going to happen, and said earnestly, "Captain Yang, you can't blame Secretary Jiang for this. Your Hongguang Commune doesn't have much to sell besides grain. I asked you to grow some vegetables and develop side businesses, but you didn't take it seriously. Now that other villages have opened up sales channels for these agricultural products, you're worried. This is not okay."
Captain Hongguang opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word. His face flushed crimson, and he could only scratch his head in embarrassment. "Who would have thought of this? Let's not even talk about the Shilin Brigade. Their captain has relatives working at the county supply and marketing cooperative. The Zhangwan Brigade makes their own vermicelli every year and sells it."
At the same time, the statistics of goods from Zhangwan, Liulin and Shilin brigades were released one after another.
The accountant from Zhangwan Brigade trotted all the way to Secretary Zhou's office and excitedly shouted, "Secretary Zhou, our Zhangwan Brigade has collected 2,300 eggs!"
The people from the Shilin Brigade also came and said a little embarrassedly: "We in the Shilin Brigade have less than a thousand eggs."
The captain of the Liulin Brigade said, "There are less than a thousand of us in the Liulin Brigade."
Secretary Zhou frowned slightly as he looked at the data. He picked up a pen and did some calculations on paper, then sighed, "This is still over 2,000 eggs short of 8,000."
At this moment, Captain Yang, who had been standing nearby, suddenly had his eyes light up, as if he had discovered a new world. He said excitedly, "Secretary Zhou, every household in our village raises chickens. I'll go back and do a count now. Maybe I can help solve our urgent problem!"
Secretary Zhou smiled with satisfaction after hearing this: "Okay, thank you for the trouble. But you must hurry."
Jiang Tang brought Meng Si Ning to the commune in the morning and had a detailed meeting with Secretary Zhou.
Meng Si Ning asked some questions and watched them work from the side.
Several team leaders also brought their own cargo lists and started checking them.
The leader of Zhangwan Village patted his chest and said, "We have enough vermicelli in our village to meet the order demand!" The leader of Shilin Brigade was also confident: "We also have enough tofu skin in our brigade, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed!"
The leader of the Liulin Brigade said, "Our brigade's apples and yellow peaches are selling well, but plums are not keeping well, especially in such hot weather. Fruits spoil easily, so we really have to prepare them right before departure."
Jiang Tang was particularly concerned about quality issues. She was worried, so she followed Secretary Zhou back and forth to several villages.
Every time she arrived at a village, she carefully checked the collected goods.
The team leaders were holding long lists in their hands, which recorded in detail the quantity collected from each household. Even the quality was clearly marked, and it was clear at a glance what were the ones with feces, small in size, and yellow in skin.
The vermicelli in Zhangwan Village are neatly arranged in bunches, and the names of the families are written on them, which is exactly the same way Jiangtang used to sell vegetables.
Jiang Tang looked at all this, feeling both relieved and moved. She cleared her throat and said to the team leaders, "Team leaders, these eggs are sold by the piece, and the factory also distributes them as benefits by the piece. Each employee gets twelve eggs, and they've repeatedly told us that they need to be evenly sized and large. Be careful when packing them, and it's best to put in more eggs to prevent any damage so we can repair it."
The captains nodded one after another, indicating that they would strictly follow the requirements.
In Zhangwan Village, Jiang Tang was pleasantly surprised to discover that some families were using straw-woven egg trays. These held eggs securely in place, preventing them from falling and effectively preventing breakage. Her eyes lit up, and she excitedly said, "This is great! Everyone can learn to make some, so we can better ensure the safety of egg transportation."
After hearing this, the villagers of Zhangwan Village expressed their willingness to help with the production. Everyone worked together to complete the order.
Secretary Zhou felt that there was not enough time, but they were willing to do it.
Just tell them how much you can do.
All the villages are making preparations in a tense and orderly manner. Although there are still many difficulties and challenges, everyone's enthusiasm and motivation have not diminished in the slightest.
Jiang Tang looked at this busy and hopeful scene, his heart filled with emotion.
Because I couldn’t go back at noon, I had lunch at Liulin Brigade.
We had lunch at Captain Liulin's house and had some noodles.
This reminded Meng Si Ning of the time when she first came here and accompanied provincial leaders to the countryside.
It’s also stir-fried noodles, and what’s more, the stir-fried noodles here are also authentic.
Unfortunately, Zhao Qunying and Liu Nian at home made a pot of fried chicken.
As a result, they didn't get home until after two o'clock.
Zhao Qunying complained, "Why are you guys back so late? If I had known, I would have made fried chicken in the evening.
I've left plenty for you in the pot, I'll go heat it up for you."
Meng Si Ning waved his hand and said, "I followed Secretary Zhou of the commune to visit several villages. I couldn't come back, so I ate at the home of a fellow villager. We are so full now that we can't eat any more."
Jiang Tang said, "We'll eat the rest tonight."
Liu Nian said regretfully, "I was thinking of making cold noodles for you tonight."
Jiang Tang was excited: "Oh, you can make cold noodles, make... well, make it tomorrow, make more, if you can't finish it, I can give it away...
If you need anything at home, I will prepare it for you."
Liu Nian didn't expect Jiang Tang to be so generous, so he said without hesitation: "I don't lack anything, just flour."
"Okay, I'll find you some white flour later."
During lunch break, Meng Si Ning bought her another 50 kilograms of white flour from the mall.
Jiang Tang complained, "Girl, I know you're worried that I won't have enough to eat, but this bag weighs fifty kilograms, I can't carry it."
"First find a small bag and put a few pounds in it. I'll put the rest in the warehouse for you."
"OK."
In the afternoon, Jiang Tang followed Captain Luo to check on the fields.
I also joined in, did some farm work for a while, and picked some corn.
I went to the mountain to check on the vegetables again, and they were ready to be harvested.
Captain Luo roughly told her a number.
The first batch of mature rapeseed weighed about 500 kilograms.
Six hundred kilograms of green peppers.
One thousand kilograms of loofah.
Two hundred kilograms of cucumbers.
This time when I go there, I'll ask the farmers' market if they want to buy vegetables.
