"Luo Xingmin, are there many people going up the mountain to open up wasteland today?"
"Not much in the morning, and even less in the afternoon."
"oh!"
Jiang Tang thought of an idea and planned to implement it after he came back from buying groceries.
When Jiang Tang returned home, she discovered that her capable comrade, Liu Xiulan, had already cleared a small vegetable patch for her in the backyard. "We don't have enough time, so I can only dig this much for you. You can dig some on weekdays when you have nothing to do. I'll go to Aunt Sanhua's and get you some leek roots. Mei Zi asked for some green onions. When you get to the city, buy some seeds of the vegetables you want to eat and plant them. The countryside is different from the city. You can go to the farmers' market whenever you want."
"Mom, you're right. I have nothing to do these two days, so I'll tidy up this place. If I grow more vegetables than I can eat in the future, I can take them home."
In the evening, the mother and daughter had fried tofu with green onions and rice porridge.
The next morning, Jiang Tang got up earlier than Liu Xiulan.
I left the house at half past four.
Liu Xiulan got up at five o'clock, made two egg pancakes for her daughter, wrapped them in oil paper, and ran out to look for someone.
When I went out, I found that the dark village was very lively.
Every household lit up their lights.
Looking into the yard, I saw everyone packing vegetables.
Liu Xiulan saw the ginger candy in the village brigade.
My daughter is helping to pack the vegetables right now.
"Tangtang, eat this first, I'll help you. What are you doing?"
"Mom, why are you here?" Jiang Tang accepted her mother's love and took a big bite. Without waiting for her to answer, she took the initiative to introduce: "Old Party Secretary, check the dishes in front of you. Captain Luo will be in charge of weighing, and Accountant Wang will be in charge of accounting. Let's pack the dishes. This is the eggplant, and this is the cucumber. Place them neatly in the basket. Be careful with the green vegetables, they will be placed on the top later."
"Okay, you eat, I'll do it."
Sister Mei Zi and several other aunts, who were in charge of packing the food, looked at Liu Xiulan and said with a smile, "I can tell right away that Secretary Jiang has never done any housework. Comrade Liu really loves Secretary Jiang."
"All the city kids are like this."
Liu Xiulan smiled: "Of course, aren't we all like this as mothers? We devote ourselves to our children and husbands."
One of the sisters-in-law agreed: "That's right. As women, we worry about our parents before we get married, and our husbands and children after we get married. We worry about everything in our lives."
Once women have a common topic, they have endless things to complain about.
Jiang Tang stood beside them, eating omelets and listening to their thoughts.
Alas, in comparison, the new generation of women in later generations will be much happier.
From a little after four o'clock to a little after five o'clock, the village harvested more than a thousand kilograms of vegetables.
Even a donkey cart couldn’t pull it all.
Finally, one of the old oxen that was plowing the fields was pulled out, and two carts of vegetables were harvested.
At around five o'clock, seven or eight households from Shaluo Village came carrying vegetables.
"Who asked you to come to our village? Get out of here!"
"Get lost, you are not welcome in our village."
"Who wants to come to your village? It was Secretary Jiang who asked us to come. We are here to find Secretary Jiang."
"Secretary Jiang is the team leader of our village. Your village doesn't like her so much, yet you still have the nerve to come and see her."
"None of your business."
"Since you have come to our village, we will naturally take care of it."
"Hey, everyone, please stop arguing. It's unlucky to quarrel so early in the morning. I was the one who asked the villagers of Sara Village to come here."
After Jiang Tang finished speaking loudly, she ran to Captain Luo and explained the situation to her.
Captain Luo was not a tough and overbearing person like Sun Maocheng, so he didn't say anything when he saw only a few people.
I asked them to weigh and check the dishes, and asked Accountant Wang to record them in the account. Even if the dishes were not bundled, the owner's name would be marked on the label.
The people in Shaluo Village were also afraid that Caotou Village would do something bad, so they took note of it.
It was less than six o'clock when we left the village.
It was around eight o'clock when we arrived in the city.
The donkey cart was a little faster, but the ox cart was very slow, so they pulled the donkey to the farmers' market first.
When we arrived, Meng Si Ning was already waiting next to the market with a camera slung over her shoulder: "Tangtang, Aunt Liu."
"Why is Meng girl here too?"
"Si Ning, you're here so early."
"I just arrived a short time ago, Auntie, I'm here to interview you... You guys have so much cargo."
"There's another one behind..."
When Captain Luo saw Meng Sining, he also came forward and greeted him.
With her around, I knew it might be reported again this time.
At this time of the day, the farmers' market usually has already sold a lot of vegetables in the morning.
There aren't many vegetables on the vegetable stalls now.
Jiang Tang walked around the market and then went to the backyard office area.
"Director Liu, I'm Xiao Jiang from Hongguang Commune. Do you remember me? I came here the day before yesterday to ask about your vegetables."
Director Liu was about to call the farm to place an order for food. When he heard it was her, he smiled and said, "It's Director Jiang. I remember."
"Director Liu, you're so eager! After asking you, I mobilized the villagers and brought up a lot of vegetables. They're all outside. Director Liu, would you like to see if there's anything you want?"
"Are they all here? Okay, Xiao Zhang, go open the side door and let them bring it in so we can take a look at the goods."
"Okay, Director Liu, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Meng Si Ning."
Meng Si Ning took out his reporter's badge and said, "Hello, Director Liu. I'm a reporter from Xinliang Daily. I heard that your farmers' market often cooperates with the commune for mutual benefit and assistance. This is a good thing. It's worth learning from your active thinking for all markets in the province. I came here to interview Director Liu and write a report."
Director Liu's simple face brightened with a smile. "Hello, Reporter Meng. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. We will be frank with you."
"Then I'll trouble you, Director Liu."
Meng Sining asked some questions, such as how many kilograms of vegetables the farmers' market needs to sell in a day to normally supply the surrounding residents.
The best-selling vegetables of all seasons, how much vegetables does the farm deliver each time and how often do they deliver them?
Are the vegetables in the countryside harvested from the fields or delivered in small quantities?
What you collect the most.
Is it giving money or items?
When Director Liu returned to Meng Sining, he did not forget to arrange work.
Jiang Tang followed Director Liu and watched him make arrangements.
Coming this time were Captain Luo, Accountant Wang, Luo Xingmin, and a strong man from the village to help unload the goods.
Everyone was very active. After all, there were reporters present and they might report it.
This is an opportunity to show your ability. If it is reported, you may even receive a reward from the company.
Director Liu saw that the donkey cart was piled high with vegetables. He then opened the cloth covering it and discovered that the vegetables were neatly stacked in bundles and had been specially rinsed with clean water.
The people in the purchasing department laughed and said to Captain Luo and the others, "Your commune is really good. You even washed the vegetable roots with water. They look really clean."
Captain Luo quickly replied, "These were picked by the villagers early in the morning. We were afraid that the leaves would turn yellow or rot and you wouldn't want them, so we asked them to pick and clean them well. We bundle them so that we can distribute them to each household."
