Chapter 565 Many hands make light work
Lu Qiaoge's application for a large-scale commodity trading fair was approved.
The agricultural trade fair of Manshan Commune was also approved at the same time.
Lu Qiaoge, Shao Le, and Sister Chen went to Manshan Commune.
Tan Ying had already arrived at the commune before Lu Qiaoge arrived.
They were seconded to the commune to help out, and coincidentally, the branch factory also had a simple shed here.
Although the shed was simple, it was very tidy. It was located in front of the commune gate, opposite the supply and marketing cooperative.
Every year, when movies are shown or cultural events are held, this square is chosen.
Today, the first farmers' market of Manshan Commune was also held here.
Two rows of thatched huts, which can only provide shelter from the wind and rain, but that's really all that's required.
Each thatched shed has a sign with a large red paper pasted on it, bearing the names of some manufacturers from the county or even the city.
This is where the manufacturer is located.
Even before the event started, a large crowd had already gathered.
The entire commune mobilized, and even Weidong Commune took the initiative to come to us to offer support.
Weidong is the commune closest to Manshan.
The militia also mobilized.
President Zhu was extremely busy, but he was in high spirits. He greeted Lu Qiaoge and gave her a few instructions before leading Lu Qiaoge, Shao Le, and Sister Chen to his office.
Many hands make light work.
This is best exemplified today.
There was no need for President Zhu and his team to do anything; there were already too many people coming to help and provide services.
Some members also voluntarily and consciously came to maintain order.
Because you can sell anything at this farmers' market, even if it's just soybean paste, as long as someone buys it, it's fine.
I've also heard that many factories have released defective and damaged products, which are reportedly very cheap.
I've also heard that people from the county come here.
The county's transportation company has increased the number of buses traveling to and from Manshan Commune.
Secretary Lin is now a member of the group and is extremely busy. When he saw Lu Qiaoge, he waved and hurried off to prepare the large iron pot so that he could provide hot water.
As for food, no one dares to think about it right now, and Lu Qiaoge hasn't reminded anyone either.
Smart people are everywhere. When the market is set up, smart people will know what's missing.
President Zhu and Lu Qiaoge were talking about chickens, ducks, and geese.
We've already placed orders with the county's food factories and grocery stores. Right now, there's a general shortage of meat, so whatever we put out, whether it's chicken, duck, goose, or anything else, sells well.
As for the feed issue, the county will handle it uniformly.
The problem is that funds are a bit tight.
Lu Qiaoge said, "We can sign a contract, and I will make a partial payment in advance."
President Zhu slapped his thigh in delight.
Haha, money makes things so much easier.
He also mentioned the little boy, Mancang: "His family is indeed in dire straits. Weidong Commune has applied for subsidies for him and sent his father to the commune's hospital. The village brigade headquarters has also sent him grain. They are preparing to arrange for Mancang to start school in the fall."
Lu Qiaoge was not surprised by the high level of attention given to her. She smiled and said, "Grassroots work is not easy. President Zhu has gone to great lengths."
President Zhu waved his hand: "No trouble at all, it's what I should do."
The county also revealed that he was tasked with organizing this market well, as the location might be changed next year.
Where can I exchange it?
It must be from the county.
President Zhu was naturally full of enthusiasm.
Lu Qiaoge went to see Zhao Xiaoman and Tan Ying again.
Both of them were equally motivated.
Tan Ying smiled and said, "Director Lu."
Zhao Xiaoman was also full of vigor. These two people are now outstanding in the commune.
They each reported their work to Lu Qiaoge, who then asked Tan Ying, "How is Xiaofen doing now?"
Tan Ying nodded and said truthfully, "Xiao Fen is smart, has a good temperament, is quick-witted, can use an abacus, and has also learned to distinguish between good and bad corn leaves and grass."
Lu Qiaoge hesitated for a moment, then said, "After this market ends, you'll go to work at the main factory. You can continue to mentor Xiaofen, and then we'll arrange another assistant for her. However, this time the purchasing point will be located in Manshan Commune. I've already discussed this with Director Zhu, and he'll vacate the production area north of the warehouse for us. Xiaofen will live with the female employees from the branch factory, and Director Zhu will arrange the assistant..."
Tan Ying looked at Lu Qiaoge with surprise, not even blinking, seemingly unable to believe that what Lu Qiaoge said was true.
She never imagined that she would one day leave the Shan Gen Brigade. She thought that being able to work hard and stay at the purchasing point under Lu Qiaoge's arrangement would be the happiest thing for her.
Little did she know that she would one day emerge from that place.
She couldn't help but look at Lu Qiaoge with moist eyes.
She's such a good planner.
She went to the main factory, and Xiaofen came to the commune. This was a hundred times better than being in the Shangen Brigade. There were dormitories and canteens, and the office was located in the commune's office area. They were also assigned an assistant, and the assistant's position was given to Director Zhu.
My goodness, plus this farmers' market, such a huge favor! How grateful President Zhu must be to Factory Director Lu.
Tan Ying's voice choked with emotion, but her face was full of smiles: "Yes, yes, I understand, I will definitely continue to work hard!"
Zhao Xiaoman reached out and patted her shoulder, smiling as she said to Lu Qiaoge, "We are so lucky to have met Director Lu."
Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "You'll be even better in the future."
Then, pointing to Director Zhu and the others who were so busy that their voices were almost hoarse, he said, "Don't worry about me. We're going to Weidong Commune. You and Tan Ying can go and help Director Zhu."
The two exchanged a few words with Lu Qiaoge, then jogged off to help President Zhu with his work.
Meanwhile, Lu Qiaoge and the others continued driving south.
This time they went to Weidong Commune, the village where Mancang lived.
To get to this village, one must not bypass the commune.
Chief Du of Weidong Commune never expected that Lu Qiaoge would come to his door.
Upon hearing that they had come to visit Mancang, they immediately took Lu Qiaoge to Wadi Village.
As the name suggests, there are many depressions here.
There are many reeds here, and countless small ponds of all sizes stretch as far as the eye can see.
Whenever it rains, this area becomes a vast expanse of water.
Even for raising fish, it's not really suitable.
President Du naturally wanted to go along, mainly because he wanted to ask Lu Qiaoge about the market.
He was extremely envious.
Lu Qiaoge said, "Can't people from your commune go too? Hasn't a document been issued?"
President Du hurriedly said, "The document has been issued, and I'm also planning to organize the members to bring local specialties to participate."
Lu Qiaoge nodded: "You have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time. As long as the side business is successful, the members will all have a better life."
President Du stared longingly at Lu Qiaoge, thinking to himself, "If only this girl could lend me a hand."
Anything is fine.
Just look at Manshan Commune, and you'll know. That old Zhu really hit the jackpot by meeting Lu Qiaoge.
He might be transferred to the county next year.
He felt ashamed that his current work was not progressing at all.
But he wasn't familiar with Lu Qiaoge, so he didn't feel comfortable speaking up.
