Wang Shanhu's expression was very serious. She stared into the man's eyes and answered carefully, word for word, "Yes, it's that high-ranking official like the county magistrate you mentioned! Now you understand, don't you?"
After hearing what she said, Zhou Bihua's face instantly showed an expression of extreme surprise, his mouth opened wide, and his eyes were round, as if an egg could fit in them.
She couldn't help but let out a loud cry: "Oh my God! It's the county magistrate? Xiaolan, you are actually the county magistrate's wife! I... I can't believe my ears. How can a commoner like me be so lucky to become friends with the county magistrate's wife? This must be a blessing from our ancestral grave!"
However, facing Zhou Bihua's astonished look, Wang Xiaolan remained calm and composed.
She just waved her hand slightly and said softly: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. These titles belong to my husband, not me. Besides, I don't have the ability to be a group leader. I am just an ordinary person like you. Come on, I will take you to see the place where tofu is made." As she said that, she walked forward.
Wang Shanhu followed behind Wang Xiaolan, and as they walked, she playfully blinked her big watery eyes at Zhou Bihua beside her, as if conveying a mysterious message to him.
She raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said softly, "Look, my sister Wang has always been such a low-key person. Even though her family members have enviable honors and achievements, she has never used them as capital for showing off, let alone constantly talking about them. A character like hers, humble and reserved, without arrogance or impatience, can be called a true hermit!"
They walked for a while and then stopped in front of a house next to the backyard garden.
Wang Xiaolan pointed to a house in front of her and said, "This is it. What do you think?"
Zhou Bihua looked at the blue brick and tile house in front of him and asked in disbelief, "Is this the house?"
Wang Xiaolan nodded and said, "Let's go in and take a look. I wonder if you are satisfied."
She slowly reached into her pocket, fumbling for a moment before finally pulling out the heavy set of keys. With a crisp click, the main door slowly swung open, as if revealing a mysterious world. Immediately afterwards, several people filed in, stepping into this slightly dated yet vibrantly vibrant house.
Zhou Bihua and Wang Shanhu couldn't wait to start looking around. They first walked around the house, carefully scanning every corner, as if wanting to take everything in. Then, they went outside and circled the house, taking in the overall structure and surrounding environment.
Zhou Bihua said with envy: "Xiaolan, this house is so big."
Wang Xiaolan asked, "Are you satisfied with this place?"
Zhou Bihua said happily, "It's not enough to just say a few satisfactions to describe how I feel right now!"
Wang Shanhu took over and said, "Yes, yes, Sister Zhou is right."
Zhou Bihua took Wang Xiaolan's hand and said gratefully, "Xiaolan, thank you for giving us a chance to make money."
Wang Xiaolan smiled, waved her hand gently, and said gently, "Sister Zhou, please don't be so polite to me! The relationship between the three of us is special. We are not just ordinary classmates, but good friends who can talk about anything and are close friends!"
I saw Wang Shanhu standing aside, extremely excited. She was jumping happily in the room with a smile on her face, like a lively and cute little rabbit.
She jumped up and down, muttering to herself, "Wow, wow, this place is perfect! It's so spacious and has all the necessary facilities. I could definitely use it to open a small food factory! Sister Zhou, I support you!"
Wang Shanhu stopped, walked up to Wang Xiaolan and Zhou Bihua, looked at them firmly and said, "How about this, Sister Zhou! I'll invest and provide the start-up capital and subsequent operating expenses. And you, with your superb skills, will control the production process and ensure the high quality of the product. And Sister Wang, she happens to have a suitable place at home, so let her contribute her space. The three of us will work together, and we will definitely be able to make it happen!"
Hearing Wang Shanhu's words, Zhou Bihua couldn't help but laugh. She said gratefully, "Oh, that's great! To be honest, I was worried about not having enough money to buy raw materials. Now that I have your financial support, my pressure is relieved a lot. It seems that I will take advantage of you two this time!"
Wang Shanhu said, "I agreed that I would only pay the money, but I can't handle the soybean purchase."
Wang Xiaolan, after hearing Wang Shanhu talk about buying soybeans, thought to herself, "There are plenty of soybeans on my own farm."
So he said, "I have a channel for soybeans, and they are cheaper than those in the grain and oil store, and they don't require tickets."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bihua and Wang Shanhu happily high-fived each other and said, "That's great."
Wang Xiaolan said, "I can sell most of the tofu we make. You can sell the rest in retail, or you can contact the canteen and wholesale it to them. This part is left to you two. Whether you can sell it well or not depends on your ability!"
Wang Shanhu said, "This is a good idea. We will do our best to implement it."
Zhou Bihua said, "I agree too. Let's work hard together and try to buy a house in the capital so that I can bring my daughter over to live with us."
Then she said hesitantly, "Xiao Lan, I'm still a little worried. If we do this, will it count as taking the capitalist road? I remember when I was in the village, someone took his homemade fermented tofu to the market to sell. The brigade found out and dragged him out and paraded him through the streets."
Wang Shanhu asked in confusion, "Sister Zhou, is there such a thing?"
Wang Xiaolan said, "Don't worry. The policy is slowly changing. Have those people imprisoned in the cowshed started to return to the city?"
After hearing her words, Zhou Bihua's heart finally settled down. He breathed a sigh of relief, then said to her with a smile, "Xiao Lan, you are much more knowledgeable than the rest of us! Regarding this matter, I will follow your arrangements and instructions."
Then, he murmured to himself as if to cheer himself up: "As the saying goes, the bold will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation. As long as we behave uprightly and don't do bad things that harm others, there will be no big problems!" After saying this, Zhou Bihua seemed to have gained a lot of courage and confidence.
