Chapter 242 Acquisition of Mushrooms
The workers in the manual group also brought back a warehouse of reeds, which were drying in the yard.
It looks like we won’t be able to visit Red Star Lake in the near future.
As to why, no one knows.
On the way, Lu Qiaoge met Sun Datian and Xiao Tao.
The two of them seemed embarrassed to step forward.
Lu Qiaoge remembered what he had promised them.
When we recruit workers, we will definitely reserve positions for them.
Lu Qiaoge said with a smile: "Brother Sun, Brother Xiaotao, I am glad to see you are here. If you hadn't come, I would have found time to visit you at your home."
Sun Datian and Xiao Tao looked at each other.
In fact, I never saw Lu Qiaoge again after leaving the hospital.
She is still working in the street office and is very busy.
The manual labor team was recruiting workers a few days ago, but they didn't dare to come. Their hands are clumsier than their feet, so it would be useless even if they came.
But now I heard that the food factory is also recruiting workers, so I can't stay here any longer.
So I thought about whether I could ask Lu Qiaoge if she still remembered what she said that day.
When he saw Lu Qiaoge, for some reason, he didn't dare to go forward.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qiaoge called them in a friendly manner.
Sun Datian and Xiao Tao came running over happily.
Without waiting for them to speak, Lu Qiaoge took the initiative to say, "The handicraft factory was recruiting workers a few days ago, but at that time it was for foreign trade orders, so they only recruited experienced masters, so I didn't mention your business. But the food factory will be recruiting soon. Are you two interested?"
Sun Datian didn't even ask what they were recruiting for. He nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes, absolutely. As long as you can get into the factory, you can do anything."
Lu Qiaoge smiled: "Then I'm relieved. How about you two come and get familiar with the environment now, and then I'll give you a task?"
Sun Datian's eyes immediately lit up.
I really didn't expect that this little girl Lu Qiaoge really keeps her word.
In fact, she just doesn't keep her word, what can you do to her?
Xiao Tao was afraid that Sun Datian would say something stupid, so he immediately agreed, "Okay, okay, Director Lu, we'll do whatever you say."
Sun Datian also nodded.
Lu Qiage told Director Hu about this in advance, and Director Hu naturally agreed without hesitation.
So she led the person straight into the food factory.
The Infrastructure Department was clearing the site when they received a call from above saying that the machinery and equipment would be shipped to Jiangcheng soon.
The task of renovating the factory was handed over to the Infrastructure Department.
Sun Datian didn't expect that the former shabby pickle factory would feel like a completely different place once he entered the gate.
Lu Qiaoge said to the two men, "I'll take you to see Deputy Director Meng first."
Meng Qingshan is now the deputy director of the food factory.
The kind that has already downloaded the file.
Then Hu Ze is in charge of finance, and he is now learning from the accountant in the finance department of the street office.
This is in preparation for the food factory's financial independence.
Of course, it is still affiliated with the street office, so it is impossible for it to be completely independent.
It means that you have 80% of autonomy and you only need to come to the factory to report your expenses once a month.
Meng Qingshan also knew Sun Datian and Xiao Tao. When he saw the two of them, he greeted them with a smile on his face.
There is no need to think about it, these two people must be among the newly recruited workers.
Meng Qingshan took them both for a tour.
Both Sun Datian and Xiao Tao felt flattered.
Lu Qiaoge pointed to the factory building that was being built by the Infrastructure Department and said to the two people, "...soon a set of food equipment will be put in place, and then we will need a lot of auxiliary ingredients. Of course, we also need to develop other products. How about this, you two come with me to the Guzitun Brigade, and we will talk to Captain Lin about something."
Lu Qiage planned to hand over the mushroom purchasing task to Sun Datian and Xiao Tao.
Now is the time for porcini mushrooms.
Now the south is the main export place.
Most of these porcini mushrooms went to Japan.
They love to eat this mushroom.
Some northerners like it while others don't even look at it.
Many places don’t even know that this is the delicious porcini mushroom. Because there is a light layer of mucus on it, people like to call it sticky dumplings.
Lu Qiaoge plans to purchase a large amount of this mushroom.
But other mushrooms will work too.
She has to go to the Canton Fair this autumn, adapt to local conditions, use the least money, and do the biggest thing.
So buy stocks in advance.
When Lao Hu knew that she wanted to collect porcini mushrooms, he was so curious that he asked for a long time. After he found out that they were sticky dumplings, he exclaimed, "Oh!" and suddenly realized.
If you don't ask the question, the answer is, how can something that even dogs won't eat be exchanged for foreign currency?
But he did not discourage Lu Qiage's enthusiasm. After all, the purchase price was not high, and they were all dried mushrooms and easy to store. There was no need to worry even if there was a backlog. He could just consider it as gaining experience.
There is also a kind of mushroom called Matsutake, which was also a popular export fungus in the 1970s.
And the northern ones are the best.
But this one is not easy to pick, and there is not much of it.
Besides, this thing doesn't have a good harvest every year.
There is an old saying among the people that there is a small harvest every three years and a big harvest every five years.
According to what Captain Lin said, this year is the fifth year, and it is also a year of bumper mushroom harvest.
When Lu Qiaoge and Qin Hengzhi went to look for the old gold mine, they saw a lot of mushrooms, but unfortunately they had no place to put them after picking them.
I can only pass by with regret.
In fact, Lu Qiaoge feels that picking mushrooms is more like hunting. Finding mushrooms is like finding prey, and they are all free, so whoever picks them will be happy.
It’s just that people nowadays don’t like to eat mushrooms very much, they prefer to eat meat.
It’s just like the reason why wild vegetables and mushrooms became more expensive than meat.
But the night before yesterday, Captain Lin sent over a basket of cleaned mushrooms.
The ones that couldn’t be eaten were dried by Meng Xia.
There are not many matsutake mushrooms in it, but there are some porcini mushrooms, and more of them are the small yellow mushrooms that the locals like to eat the most. Even without meat, it is very fragrant when fried with cabbage leaves and chili peppers.
Lu Qiaoge thought about this harvest season, and quickly took the two of them out of the city with the letter of introduction and deposit.
They went to Guzitun again and looked for Captain Lin.
I told Captain Lin in advance that these two types of mushrooms are the main ones, but others are also acceptable.
But absolutely no poisonous mushrooms.
If someone gets sick from eating the food, they will have to pay compensation, so Captain Lin asked his wife to check it.
It is better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality.
We can't sell it for nothing and end up poisoning people.
There are a lot of things drying in the yard.
Each one was cleaned very well.
Lu Qiaoge doesn't know every kind of mushroom.
But she knew porcini and matsutake.
Captain Lin said: "We have checked each of them one by one, cleaned them up and hung them out to dry. Don't worry, there will be no problem."
They were all picked by experienced people and they are all good mushrooms.
Sun Datian and Xiao Tao were completely in the dark.
Lu Qiaoge asked them to learn how to identify mushrooms from Captain Lin's son, Lin Liang.
Lin Liang is 21 years old this year. He is a shy and taciturn but very capable young man.
Whatever he says, he makes perfect sense.
I heard that he is a junior high school graduate.
His academic qualifications are higher than Lu Qiaoge’s.
Lu Qiaoge's heart moved, and he asked Lin Liang what he was doing now.
Captain Lin looked at Lu Qiaoge with shining eyes, his voice trembling: "My Liangzi... is honest. Last year, the machinery factory recruited workers and Liangzi passed the exam, but the other party insisted that my Liangzi was not suitable because of my myopia, so he was sent back. But in fact, he is not nearsighted, he was replaced by someone else, and then he has been at home farming with me."
Lu Qiaoge was not surprised.
Nowadays, there are many cases of substitution, but the people do not report them and the officials do not investigate them.
After the resumption of the college entrance examination, many people went to university to replace others.
Lu Qiaoge knew what Captain Lin was thinking. He wanted his son to have the opportunity to work in the factory.
But he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
If she didn't expose it, Captain Lin probably would never dare to mention it in his life.
