Zhang Feng scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "Just before I came here, I met Secretary Zhou who was visiting our village. He said he had ordered another 1,000 kilograms. Thank you so much! In the past, the vermicelli in our village was kept by each family for their own consumption. I didn't expect that we could still sell it."
Jiang Tang said, "Secretary Zhang, I didn't expect to be able to order so many. Does your village have that much inventory?"
"Yes, our village took a count yesterday, and there are over 5,000 kilograms in total. They are all stored by the villagers over the years."
Jiang Tang knew that there were many rats in rural homes, so he quickly reminded them, "Secretary Zhang, you must be careful with the food. You must not accept any that have been gnawed by rats or are moldy."
"Don't worry, the captain and I will go door to door to search.
If we are not careful, Secretary Zhou will be the first to be unhappy."
As they were talking, people from Shilin Village also arrived, bringing bean curd skin to thank Jiangtang for coming.
It turned out that Shilin Village had ordered more than 500 kilograms of dried tofu skin.
Dried bean curd sheets, unweighed, were expensive, and even if they were supplied to the county supply and marketing cooperatives over the course of a year, they wouldn't sell much. He hadn't expected Jiang Tang to sell so much in just two days. He watched Zhang Feng bring vermicelli noodles for Jiang Tang, and secretly felt lucky that he had brought bean curd sheets as well.
They came here originally to express their gratitude, but when they heard that eggs were still needed and the Liulin Brigade had already gone back to count them, the two of them were afraid of being a step late, so they hurriedly said, "Then we should go back and count them quickly too, we can't fall behind." After that, they ran away like a gust of wind.
In the morning, Jiangtang was busy like a top.
When I got home, I was tired and hot.
Meng Si Ning pointed to the bathroom and said, "The water is ready for you. Go take a shower and dinner will be served soon."
Jiang Tang hugged her and whimpered twice: "Girl, it's so good to have you around."
"Of course, the clothes are all prepared for you, so go in quickly.
What, do you need me to rub your back?"
"That's not impossible. My beloved concubine, please help me bathe."
"screw you."
At noon, Zhao Qunying and Liu Nian had steamed rice, one had stir-fried vegetables, one had stir-fried beans, and the other had mushroom soup.
These mushrooms were bought from a fellow villager.
After Jiang Tang came out, he looked at the delicious food and was so moved that he said, "It's great to have you. I really want you to stay for a few more days."
Well, simple vegetables are so delicious when stir-fried. You two are really good at cooking.
I'm not free this morning, so I'll go to my fellow villager's house in the afternoon and buy a chicken.
Let’s make chicken and potato stew tomorrow.”
Zhao Qunying said embarrassedly, "Don't spend so much. We don't give you much for food. A chicken is very expensive. Besides, reporter Meng bought two fish today and said we'd have a barbecue tonight."
Liu Nian said, "I don't even know what barbecue is. I've never eaten it."
Jiang Tang glanced at her bestie and quickly tried to smooth things over: "I asked a fellow villager to help me build a grill and get some coal. It's... in the grocery store to the north."
Meng Si Ning looked at her and smiled: "Well, I've found out. Tonight we're having grilled fish, roasted potato chips, green peppers, uh, it would be nice if there was lamb."
Jiang Tang quickly said, "I found a wild goat caught in the village today. I'll go to the brigade headquarters later to see if there are any more."
After they had their meal, during their lunch break, Meng Si Ning whispered to Jiang Tang, "Is there anything you want to eat?"
"No, just mutton will do. A leg of lamb would be best, haha."
"I'll buy it at the mall later, and you can just go around and bring it back."
"I also want to eat some grilled gluten, but it's a pity that it's hard to cover up the lie."
“Do it yourself.”
"It's too late. We can't finish all the meat. We can cook it later. I'm afraid someone will find out if we leave it too early."
"Don't worry."
"Also, the plastics factory called today and asked for 500 kilograms of brown sugar. Shaluo Village doesn't have that much right now.
Let's do it in the mall.
There are still dry goods, and we are still short of 200 kilograms."
"We did it in the mall. How are you going to explain it to them?"
"Well, I told Secretary Zhou to go back and talk to the plastics manufacturer about changing the product.
When the time comes, just say that you don’t want the plastic factory anymore.
As for the practical stuff, the commune had no such thing, and Secretary Zhou and his colleagues were helpless.
I said I'd go to the city and try to find some connections to see if I could get some from the market."
"Then you better be careful and don't let anyone find out anything is wrong. I'll prepare these for you first."
"You saw the dried goods today. Various fungi were mixed together. You should buy some and mix them in."
Meng Si Ning made an OK gesture: "Those two people next door are having a blast. They want me to take them up the mountain this afternoon. Is that okay?"
"Okay, but you can't go far. Take Xiao Ye with you."
"No problem." Meng Si Ning smiled and lay down with the quilt.
Jiang Tang was sleeping next to her and smiled excitedly.
"Why are you grinning like an idiot?"
"Si Ning, I feel like I'm really good now. Before, my parents and brother always said I was clumsy.
When it comes to running the business, I am only responsible for the easiest parts.
Humph, they really underestimated me.
Look at me now, I can sell all the agricultural products of a commune.
Hey, hehe."
Meng Si Ning looked at her speechlessly: "Sister, times have changed. What time is it now? It's an era of material scarcity.
You used the name of the commune, and with my help, it was naturally easy.
But you are really amazing, many people don’t have your drive.”
"Yeah, I said I'm awesome."
"Is it possible that the vicious female supporting character in the book also has a certain amount of luck?"
Jiang Tang sat up suddenly: "Oh, that's right, in the book, as long as the vicious female supporting role doesn't fight against the heroine, she will be very lucky."
Meng Si Ning looked at her, startled and flustered. She was no longer as calm as when she just came back.
I really admire her.
"Rest quickly, your mental strength is really great.
Did you take Qi and Blood Pills?"
"Not yet, this thing is precious, and we are still young, so it's good enough if we don't have to eat it.
Hehe, gui, do you miss your Lu Cheng?"
“I think he hasn’t replied to the letter I wrote to him last time.
I tell you, I wrote...”
"Why, that's so corny."
"No, after all, we are editors, and we know how to be picky about words.
The words sounded ambiguous and provocative. Haha... I'm so upset."
"Oh, I didn't realize you're quite good at love."
"We focus on providing the emotional value we value."
"What about him?"
"Him." Meng Si Ning's face fell when he said this: "Every time he replies, he always says to take care of yourself, be safe, eat more, etc."
"Puff..."
"Don't laugh."
...
In the afternoon, the sun was scorching hot, and Jiang Tang rode his bicycle in a hurry to Shaluo Village.
As soon as I entered the village, I saw Captain Sun, sweating profusely, directing the villagers to move the goods that had just been collected.
"Captain Sun." Jiang Tang said as he parked his bike and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
