Shen Anyian let Director Fang and the others handle the affairs of the textile factory, and thought that he had nothing to do, so he was happy to be an idler at home.
Unexpectedly, the person who came to visit her two days later gave her a shock.
One was Captain Shen, and the other was someone she didn't know.
Seeing Captain Shen greeting him with mutton, Shen Anyian asked him, "Captain Fan, why are you here? Are you here to see Qin Zhengqi?"
If you want to find Qin Zhengqi, you should go to the army. Why would you come to his home to look for him?
"It's not me. I came to see you. There's something I want to talk to you about."
After saying that, he forced a smile towards Shen Annian.
It looks a bit strange no matter how you look at it when someone who always has a stern face suddenly forces a smile.
Shen An Nian couldn't help but complain in his heart. It would be fine if he didn't smile, but when he smiled, he looked too much like Grandma Wolf, making people think that he had bad intentions.
But since they came for her, she had no choice but to invite them to her house.
Captain Shen entered the room and saw General Ye. He asked Shen Annian, "Is this Commander Ye?"
Shen Annian nodded.
Captain Shen and the military comrades beside him saluted General Ye and said, "Hello, Commander."
General Ye was holding Kang Kang in his arms when he suddenly heard a greeting as loud as a bell and subconsciously looked at the child in his arms.
"Be quiet, don't scare the child."
Captain Shen chuckled sheepishly, "I'll be sure to pay attention next time."
He had heard that Commander Ye lived in the Third Regiment, but he didn't expect that he actually lived in the Qin family.
Why does he live in the Qin family?
He looked at Shen An Nian calmly. What was the relationship between these two people? Why did Commander Ye stay at her house and not leave?
Shen An Nian pretended not to see his inquiring eyes, asked them to sit down, and went to pour water.
"Captain Shen, fellow soldiers, please drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
Regimental Commander Shen took the hot water, and the soldier who accompanied him said with a smile, "My name is Wang Changbiao, and I'm the director of the first regiment."
"It's Director Wang. Is there something you want to talk to me about today?"
Director Wang: "I heard that the Fourth and Fifth Regiments were going to set up a textile factory, and it was you who took the lead."
Shen Annian hesitated for a moment and nodded. This matter was proposed by her, so she could be considered the one taking the lead.
"Comrade Shen, our First and Third Regiments are also brother units. Can you please help our First Regiment?"
He heard that the Third Regiment spent more than 200,000 yuan just to build this textile factory.
That's more than 200,000 yuan. If we invest it in them, I don't know how much they can accomplish.
"Director Wang, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I have no other options.
Brigade Commander Zhou agreed to build a textile factory because the Fourth and Fifth Regiments were rich in cotton and we could use local materials.
And I heard that your group raises goats, and they sell quite well, don’t they?”
“Although we made some money from raising goats, the group also had many other expenses.
There are so many people in the group, and I don’t know how much money it costs just for food, drink, and toileting. Our group is really poor.”
Shen Annian felt a little helpless. Why was he still complaining about being poor to her?
Are those who manage military supplies so good at crying poor?
Director Wang glanced at her and continued, "You and our Captain Shen share the same surname. Maybe you were a family five hundred years ago. How can family members not help each other? Isn't that right?"
She wanted to help them, but she had to be able to help.
"Director Wang, do you think you're making too little money now? So you want to do other projects?"
Director Wang nodded and said, "It would be the best if we could make money. You don't know how envious the families in our regiment are when they see that the wives of the soldiers here have jobs.
Although our regiment raises sheep, chickens, and ducks, there aren't many jobs available, and the wives still have to work in the fields to earn work points, which is really too hard."
"Director Wang, why don't you raise sheep? Their wool can be used to make cloth, and we'll definitely need it when we open a textile factory.
As for the textile factory hiring... the factory is too far from the First Regiment, and it wouldn't be appropriate for the sisters-in-law from the First Regiment to work there."
Director Wang knew very well that it was almost a five-hour drive from the Fourth and Fifth Regiments, so there was no way he could go there to work.
"Director Shen, I remember you said that all three groups would buy the pigs and chickens we raise. Do you really have the means to eat so much meat?"
These days, you need meat coupons to buy meat, and the amount of meat people can buy throughout the year is limited. In the past, they didn't dare to raise meat on a large scale for fear that no one would buy it.
Raising chickens takes about five or six months, and raising pigs takes even longer, almost a year, and the cost is very high.
Their army has its own regulations and private transactions are absolutely impossible. If the Third Regiment cannot collect so much by then, all of it will be lost.
"I did say that, and I do have a way."
"What's the method? Can you tell me?"
Shen Anyian met his eager eyes and smiled, "Director Wang, are you worried that no one will buy these pork?"
Director Wang nodded truthfully, "These days, the amount of meat coupons each person can get is very small, and there's a monthly quota. That's why we don't dare raise more sheep in a year."
“It’s not that people don’t want to eat meat, but they can’t eat meat.
If everyone could eat meat without meat coupons, do you think they would be willing?"
Director Wang immediately became nervous, "We are a military unit, we can't do anything illegal."
He had heard of the black market. You didn't need a ticket to buy things there, but the prices would be higher.
