Chapter 324:
Jiang Tang has been running around the villages in the commune to select people these days.
He also followed Secretary Zhou to various villages to control the production of products.
Besides, August 15th is coming soon.
Their commune has a farmers' market this year and is also preparing for the Canton Fair, so they had not originally planned to do any sales during this festival.
But last year, some factories thought the products were good and called the commune directly to place orders.
Vermicelli, bean curd, eggs, fruits, and red dates were also ordered in large quantities.
At the newspaper office, Zhao Qunying also found her and asked for a batch of red dates.
"Why aren't you selling tea anymore? Our company is planning to place an order."
Jiang Tang had a rare day off today when Zhao Qunying came to her house with business: "We don't sell tea in retail or for sale. Shenzhou ordered a lot this year, and our city's general distributors all stock our tea. Now department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives have it. If you want a large order, wait until next year. We have a mountain of newly transplanted tea, and it's still in the growing season this year, so the yield is low, but it will double next year. However."
"Okay, then we need 100 kilograms of red dates and 200 kilograms of eggs. Remember to send them over the next two days. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"No problem. Hey, why don't you stay at my place for a while?"
Zhao Qunying suddenly felt shy and said, "Another day. My boyfriend asked me out today."
Jiang Tang smiled curiously: "Do you have a partner? Where is he?"
"Oh, I won't talk to you for now. I'll let you meet him another day when I have time."
After Zhao Qunying finished speaking, she walked away with a flushed face and a little embarrassed.
At noon, He Yan returned home with a bag of chestnuts in his hand.
Jiang Tang especially likes to eat this: "Honey, where did you get these? I also got some today."
"Zhou Xiang gave it to me. I'll make you some fried chestnuts."
“Well, how about we go to the compound today? Si Ning happens to have a barbecue oven at home.
Um... can you make mooncakes? The festival is coming soon, let's make some mooncakes."
“I know a little, but we don’t have any…”
"We have the ingredients." Before He Yan could finish his words, Jiang Tang took him to the kitchen. The red dates were brought from the village.
There were also two slaughtered chickens and some eggs.
There were mostly mung beans, red beans, white flour, white sugar, and chestnuts. These were prepared by Si Ning for her. She wanted to eat last year's mooncakes and wanted Grandma Li to help make some.
It just so happened that He Yan brought it with him today, so it would be perfect to just use this excuse to go back.
He Yan didn't have to go to work in the afternoon, so the two of them simply ate a few boiled eggs in the kitchen, cleaned up, and returned to the compound.
When they got home, no one was back yet. So they went straight to Si Ning's yard.
Ever since Jiang Tang got married, Zhang Yimeng has been here for a while now and doesn't come here often.
While He Yan was cleaning the stove, Jiang Tang went next door to find Grandma Li.
Upon hearing this, I asked her to help make mooncakes.
Grandma Li quickly brought out some ingredients from home. Grandpa Li, who was playing with birds nearby, said, "Your Grandma Li was planning to use Si Ning's stove to make mooncakes. Unfortunately, Miss Zhang hasn't been here for the past two days, and you haven't been home for a long time either. She was worried about not being able to get in."
Jiang Tang smiled: "Luckily I came today."
Grandma Li came out with a gift: "The mooncakes made with mung beans and red beans you made last time were really delicious. I've been saving them for a year, so I'll make some more this year."
"That's great! Si Ning called me a few days ago and said she wanted to eat the mooncakes you made. So I quickly prepared something and came to treat you. Although I was there last year as well, as you know, Grandma Li, I ate the whole time."
"Ha ha."
Last year, it was a lively scene with a few girls together, but now they are all married.
When Grandma Li was making mooncakes, she expressed her feelings to Jiang Tang.
This time I did more than last time.
Grandma Li and her family made five pots, and they had no idea how many times the stove went in and out.
I sat there until after ten o'clock in the evening.
However, He Yan has always been a good learner. He mastered the essence of Grandma Li's cooking in just one afternoon, and then did everything else himself.
He is very meticulous in his work. He can even clean a wood-burning stove without any dust. You can imagine how strict he is in making mooncakes.
In the end, Grandma Li couldn't stand it anymore, but fortunately He Yan learned it, and Grandma Li couldn't stand it anymore, so she just let him do it himself.
When my sister and brother-in-law came back and saw them here, they also wanted to help, but were rejected by He Yan.
Jiang Tang simply asked them to sit with him and just eat.
Comrade Liu Xiulan cooked a chicken for dinner.
All the family members are here today, and her brother is back too. He didn’t get to eat mooncakes last year, so today he got to try one of each.
This person is really unlucky. He can't get used to it. "The mung bean one is okay, but the others are really unpalatable."
Jiang Mo took a bite of a red date and rolled his eyes at him: "Brother, you can't eat anything other than noodles."
Jiang also nodded: "Noodles are the most delicious thing in the world, no doubt about it."
Jiang Tang said, "It's a pity. Mom made chicken stewed with potatoes and steamed buns today."
“That’s delicious too.”
At night, Jiang Tang secretly put the finished mooncakes into Si Ning's space.
Meng Si Ning came in and took a look, then laughed: "So many? You didn't keep any for yourself?"
"I kept more than thirty of them, and there are more than sixty left. I told He Yan that they were mailed to you. Put them in now while they're still hot. They taste better when they're hot."
Meng Si Ning couldn't help but took one and started eating: "He will find out if you do this."
Jiang Tang waved his hand confidently: "Don't worry, I wrapped it tightly in a package so you can't see it from the outside. I stuffed other mooncakes inside. I'll 'mail' it to you tomorrow morning."
Meng Si Ning nodded, then took out a newly ripe durian and pointed it at her: "I know you like to eat it, so I grew it especially for you."
"Wow, this is too much." Jiang Tang said, lowering her head and pinching the flesh on her belly, "I seem to have gained weight recently."
"No way? I think you've lost weight."
Jiang Tang stood up again and looked at herself. She had been very busy recently and only had one day off in half a month.
"What have you been busy with lately?"
"Preparing for the Canton Fair."
In addition to these, she also has to worry about the chicken farm in Youcaoling.
The next morning, He Yan went to work. She lied that she was mailing mooncakes to Si Ning, but in fact she went to several farmers' markets.
Going to sell chickens and ducks.
A lot of chickens have been sold now. Captain Luo suggested that we raise one or two hundred to try first. Fortunately, I didn’t listen to him.
A chicken farm has more than a thousand chickens, which are not enough to sell in a year.
Now I don’t know if I can make it to the last farmers’ market.
The old secretary has been organizing the villagers to select old hens to sit on their nests these days.
