Director Liu picked up a bunch of green vegetables and found a piece of cloth on the bundle of wheat straw. There were names written on it with a brush: "Lao Qing's family... Lai Hua's family... Second cousin's family." "Are you checking each household one by one?"
Jiang Tang nodded and said, "Director Liu, these are all vegetables grown by the villagers in the village. We mark them like this to distinguish the vegetables from each family so that we can calculate the bill when we get back."
Director Liu nodded repeatedly. "That's a good idea. In the past, when we collected vegetables from individual households, we had to go one by one, which was very time-consuming. ... Have you weighed them well at home?"
"Yes, see how many pounds it costs here."
"Xiao Zhang, take a look at these vegetables."
Captain Luo and several others also helped unload the vegetables. Jiang Tang directed them to sort the vegetables one by one and put them in piles.
"There are a lot of wild vegetables, and these greens are not bad. Director Liu, please take them all."
"OK."
The remaining cucumbers and eggplants are in bags, and they have to check them one by one.
After checking more than a dozen bags, I found that the vegetables inside were all of good size and quality.
I simply didn't check it.
We asked for 500 kilograms of cucumbers, 400 kilograms of eggplants, 100 kilograms of peppers, and a total of more than 100 kilograms of wild vegetables.
When we were almost done, the ox cart arrived.
Seeing that there was another ox cart, Director Liu took some more vegetables from it.
Jiangtang then realized that vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes are selling better nowadays.
Director Liu took all the vegetables from the two trucks, leaving only some eggplants and peppers.
"Director Liu, these remaining items only weigh about 300 to 400 kilograms. Can't we use them?"
Director Liu shook his head. "It's summer now, and these vegetables are easy to sell, but they're also hard to store. I have quite a few eggplants and beans, but the people here can only eat so much in a day and a morning. You can go to other markets to see what's left. They're all buying them. Let's weigh these first."
"No problem. Director Liu, we are all small-scale villagers after all, and we weighed them when we arrived. Could you please not round off the difference when weighing them? When we collect this time, we'll make some allowance for Director Liu's losses."
Meng Sining took two photos of the lively scene.
Seeing this, Captain Luo quickly picked up a bag of labeled vegetables and opened it: "Director Liu, these are gifts from the villagers."
There were quite a few kilograms of vegetables in the bag, and there were all kinds of vegetables scattered inside. Although it didn't look good, it would be nice to keep it for internal people.
Director Liu smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I know it's not easy for you, I will definitely give you a high reward."
"Alas, alas."
Captain Luo and Accountant Wang were both extremely happy.
Especially Accountant Wang, who was always running around counting and settling accounts.
It was a hot day and they didn't bring any water or anything, so it was really not easy.
Even so, the smiles on their faces were still strong.
Liu Xiulan looked at the half-full truck of vegetables and frowned, "Won't it disappoint the villagers if we take so many back?"
Jiang Tang said, "Let's go to other farmers' markets to see if they accept them."
Director Liu thought for a moment, raised his hand and called her: "Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call for you."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Director Liu." Jiang Tang knew that if Director Liu said this, her vegetables would definitely be sold.
So a few people waited in the shade of the yard with anticipation.
After Director Liu entered the office, he made a phone call: "Lao Jin, it's me."
"Old Liu, what's the matter?"
"Hongguang Commune in Jiangzhou County brought in two truckloads of vegetables from the villagers. I took one, but there aren't many left. They have eggplants, beans, peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes. They're all very good quality. Do you want some?"
"Eggplants are hard to sell in this hot weather, and peppers are even harder to sell. I see there's plenty of beans here, so these must be the leftovers you gave me."
"Why aren't eggplants selling well? They could ask the salespeople to promote them more. Wouldn't it be nice to have some noodles and make a tomato and eggplant stew? Besides, they brought a reporter with them this time, saying they wanted to publicize the mutual assistance between the farmers' market and the commune. This is a good thing, and I wouldn't tell anyone else about it."
"What deeds?"
"The city and the countryside are mutually beneficial. The city is short of supplies, and the countryside has enough. They complement each other perfectly. The rural supply benefits the city residents, and the city's money and notes also facilitate the countryside."
Lao Jin suddenly realized something and said hurriedly, "Let them come quickly. The reporters will follow."
"I'll talk to you about it and ask you to go along and try to get both our families listed."
"Thanks, Lao Liu. I'll treat you to dinner some other day."
"I've been waiting."
After Director Liu came out of his office, he told Jiang Tang and the others, "There's the agricultural machinery and farmers' market next door. They originally had plenty of supplies. I finally persuaded them, and Lao Jin likes to be told nice things. Secretary Jiang, when you get there, just say a few more things he likes to hear. I guarantee they'll buy whatever vegetables you have. It would be best if you could bring Reporter Meng along so we can take a couple of photos of him."
"Understood. Thank you Director Liu for the reminder. We'll be there right away."
The agricultural machinery and farmers' market is also twenty minutes away.
Captain Luo asked Uncle Zhang's empty donkey cart to take Comrade Liu Xiu Lan back.
Liu Xiulan asked Jiang Tang: "Will you be back at noon?"
"No, I have something else to do when I get back."
Liu Xiulan felt sorry for her daughter, but she didn't want to say anything in front of the captain.
After the remaining truck arrived at the agricultural machinery and farmers' market, Jiang Tang met Director Jin, a typical man of his age who was starting to worry about the few hairs on his head. This was evident from the few hairs that covered his entire scalp.
He was slightly plump and looked kind. Jiang Tang went up to him, shook Director Jin's hand, and praised him, "Hello, Director Jin. I've heard that the Agricultural Machinery Market is the best market in this area with the most complete selection of vegetables.
I just walked over and saw that the market was really clean. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. You can tell they were trained by you.
Director Jin was indeed grateful for the compliment: "Thank you very much. This is what we should do. Serving every citizen well is the most basic attitude of our farmers' market. Director Jiang is a young and promising man."
After the two of them praised each other, Director Jin saw Meng Sining taking pictures, and hurriedly stood up and greeted her.
As usual, Meng Si Ning asked the same questions as before.
In fact, these will not be written in the newspaper, they are mainly asked for my best friends.
Let’s not talk about winter, with just a few kinds of dishes, autumn has the most dishes, whatever sells well and sells at a high price, this is the way for my bestie to get rich in autumn.
After seeing the vegetables, Director Jin praised their vegetables a lot.
It is clean and has few insect holes.
After checking some of them, I weighed them directly.
No one was shortchanged in the amount of weight given to them.
Checkout was also fast.
"Director Jin, we will also have a large output of vegetables in the fall. I hope we can cooperate again then."
"No problem. Autumn is the time when vegetables are most consumed."
"Okay, I'll definitely come then."
