"Director Li, I have compiled the group purchase vegetable orders and will tell them about it.
It just so happened that people from both villages came.
Comrade Sun, Comrade Luo, please take notes quickly."
"Okay."
"Secretary Jiang, I'm ready, you can speak."
"Five hundred kilograms of beans, three hundred kilograms of green vegetables.
Fifty pounds of beans.
Three hundred kilograms of eggplants and eighty kilograms of tomatoes.
Cucumbers, 1,000 kilograms, peppers, 50 kilograms
Three hundred kilograms of loofah, two hundred kilograms of water spinach, and one hundred and fifty kilograms of spinach.
Lettuce, 200 catties, garland chrysanthemum, 50 catties, leeks and fennel, 100 catties each, and eggs, 50 catties."
After hearing the order, both of them became excited.
But when the issue of distribution was brought up, they started arguing again.
Sun Maomin said: "We can finish the cucumbers, and water spinach as well. We also have leeks. Ours are all ripe, so we have to pick them quickly."
Luo Fengan said, "You want to buy it all? How much does your village grow? Our village is just one hilltop, and many vegetables are ripe. If we don't sell them, they will get old. Give them all to us this time."
"Why?"
Li Cui'e quickly reminded: "Stop arguing and listen to Secretary Jiang."
Jiang Tang ignored the situation of the two villages and never thought that the two villages would come together.
After thinking for a while, he frowned and said, "I thought before that Youtoucao Village planted more and took up the majority; Shaluo Village planted less, and some are not yet ripe. There is no need to rush, and we should save some to sell at the market. Now I think I was wrong. In this way, we can pick all the ripe ones from both villages.
In addition, there are some vermicelli and bean curd sheets here. Let the commune go to Shilin and Zhangwan to purchase some at a low price. The demand here is not large. Please ask Sister Li to help talk to Secretary Gao. We need them early tomorrow morning."
Li Cui'e said, "Secretary Gao has been busy with the autumn harvest recently, and Director Wang of the commune is in charge. I'll talk to him about this later."
Jiang Tang added, "And Comrade Luo, ask Grandpa Xiaoli to make some three-plate tofu and send it over. Someone here wants tofu."
Luo Fengan smiled and said, "Okay, are three boards enough? If not, do more." After saying that, he gave Sun Maomin a proud look.
Furious, Sun Maomin returned to the village with a sullen face and complained to his brother: "Brother, what do you say we should do about this? Every time, Youtoucao Village takes the lion's share, and our village only gets this little."
The accountant kept a hand and said, "Is it possible that Caotou Village secretly gave Secretary Jiang some benefits, so he is partial to them?"
Sun Maocheng said angrily, "Yes, that treacherous villain Luo Fengquan was the one who did it."
"Brother, when Secretary Jiang comes back this time, let's send some as well."
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's notify the old secretary and have him organize people to pick the vegetables."
Liu Yishou said, "Don't worry. This time, we must surpass Caotou Village. The vegetables must be the freshest."
The old secretary of Shaluo Village doesn't usually take care of things.
I went to live with my son in the county town a few months ago and just came back.
Until a team leader was assigned to them.
As a result, Caozi Village got there first, and Sun Maocheng was so angry that he scolded him.
I always tell him not to be too arrogant, but he just doesn't listen.
This time, Secretary Jiang helped the commune sell crops, and he also saw how capable Secretary Jiang was.
I saw that under her leadership, the people in Caotou Village were growing vegetables and raising rabbits.
Also anxious.
Tell Sun Maocheng that we must not lose this autumn.
I heard the food is about to be served.
The old secretary quickly took a few people and went from house to house to pick vegetables.
“It says on the list that they want some young beans, which they use for drying vegetables.
When drying beans, they must be tender.
I'm in charge this time, and I must not lose to Zhang Laosan. Also, don't harvest vegetables with many insect holes, and don't harvest vegetables with yellow leaves or small ones.
Don't pick unripe tomatoes. (Zhang Laosan is the former secretary of Youcaoling)
At this moment in Youcaoling, Captain Luo is busy with the autumn harvest.
The old secretary brought a group of elderly people who were unable to do heavy work.
Going up the mountain to choose vegetables.
"The leeks at Luo Laosan's are good. Come pick them tomorrow morning. Remember to clean them, tie them into bundles, write your name on them, and notify his family in the evening."
An old man pointed at Lai Hua's rapeseed and said, "They grow quite well."
An old man snorted, "They just want to make more money. They come to my house all day long to steal my shit and urine. Now they don't even clean my toilet. It's all their business."
"He's quite clever. Well, it does smell. I must clean it up tomorrow."
The old secretary said, "Feng An said that Secretary Jiang allocated us a large share this time, and the people in Shaluo Village are very unhappy.
I'm afraid they will do something bad. Remember, we must keep an eye on our dishes.
Furthermore, we must not let Shaluo Village outperform us. We must not accept any vegetables that are inferior or have many holes in them.
Also, eggs. It's only been a few days, and I don't know how many eggs each family has saved. I'll search in the evening to see if there are 30 kilograms."
An old lady at the side said: "My family spent all the money last time, and we only saved five or six in the past few days.
Alas, it’s a pity that our family can only keep five.”
The old secretary said, "Some time ago, we held a meeting and planned to find a hilltop to raise poultry. Let's not talk about this for now."
"Zhang Laoliu, you have to hurry up and make tofu. Go down to the granary and get some beans. Make a few more boards and see if anyone in the village wants them.
This time, your whole family will be rewarded."
Zhang Laoliu said, "Okay, my tofu-making skills are no worse than those in Zhangwan Village."
As soon as the sky was getting light, Youcaoling Village became bustling.
In order to ensure the freshness of the vegetables, the villagers and their families went out and rushed to their own vegetable fields.
The old secretary stood at the entrance of the village, shouting, "Everyone, be quick and pick the freshest and tenderest ones. This is a matter of great importance to our village's reputation!"
He organized a group of elderly people, each of whom was responsible for supervising five households.
In his area, Uncle Zhang was carefully inspecting the vegetables the villagers had picked. He picked up a bundle of beans, looked through them carefully, frowned, and said to the farmer next to him, "Xiao Li, some of these beans are a little yellow. We can't let them get mixed in. We have to give the best to the people in the compound, okay? Pick them out quickly."
"Luo Lao Er, your family has too much moisture."
Luo Laoer said, "It's hot, so a few water droplets can keep it fresh. But they will evaporate over there."
"That won't work."
"The tomatoes at Erhui's have a lot of cracks."
"The cracked and sandy flesh is delicious."
"I'm afraid people will dislike them, so I'll keep the cracked ones to give away."
"Every family should prepare two or three pounds of vegetables, so that there won't be any shortage of food when the time comes."
"Okay, don't worry, it's definitely a good deal."
"Why is Old Man Zhang so slow? Go and help him."
"Is the tofu ready? Tofu, get in the car first."
"We're still missing one plate of tofu."
"Put the stones on the cart and use it to press down the water."
