There was nothing much to explain about the Mushroom House. Zhou Ziwen gave a few instructions to the old members and then rushed home.
The commune is some distance away from Dabazi Village, so Zhou Ziwen has to go home to get his bicycle and then ride it to the commune.
When he rode his bicycle to the village entrance, Wu Dagang and the team leader had not arrived yet.
After waiting for a while, the team leader and Wu Dagang finished their work and rode out of the village on their bicycles.
The team leader and Wu Dagang are both experienced cyclists. They rode steadily along the way. Although they were slow, they were very skilled.
On the way to the commune, Wu Dagang also told Zhou Ziwen about the situation there.
The commune has quite a lot of management staff.
There were high-ranking party officials of the commune, deputy secretary of the commune party committee, commune president, commune vice president, organization committee member, propaganda committee member, accounting counselor, civil affairs assistant, public security commissioner, forestry assistant, armed forces minister, etc.
It is said that most of these leading cadres will participate in today's meeting.
The commune is located in the county town, next to the grain station where grain was delivered before.
Wu Dagang is old and rides his bike slowly. In order to take care of him, the three of them walked and stopped, and it took them nearly an hour to reach their destination.
The environment of the commune is very consistent with the characteristics of this era.
The words "People's Commune" were hung high above the gate.
The gate is wide, tall and big, so large trucks can enter easily.
There is a large square outside the commune. The square is paved with cut bluestone slabs. It looks very clean because it is cleaned regularly.
Under the leadership of Wu Dagang, the three of them came to the commune leadership office as if they were familiar with the place.
"You are here, please take a seat. You are the only one missing for today's meeting."
President Fu received them warmly.
"President, you know that everyone is busy with spring plowing these days. We have finally squeezed out some time."
Wu Dagang started complaining as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Hey, how could I not know this? That's why we didn't rush you!"
President Fu chuckled.
"When will the meeting start?" asked the captain.
"It'll start soon. I've already arranged for someone to go get some tea. Have some tea first. Your place is quite far from the county town, and you must be tired after coming here. Take a break first!"
President Fu arranged for someone to pour tea for them.
"Yes, we are too far away from the county town and the road is difficult to walk on. My old arms and legs are almost falling apart." Wu Dagang pounded his waist and began to complain again.
"President, you said that our mushroom cultivation base is about to begin construction. Once it's completed, our road is so bad that transporting mushrooms will be a problem!"
"Can you please take a look and see if you can build a road?"
Zhou Ziwen was a little surprised when he saw Wu Dagang crying poor so skillfully.
He had never seen Wu Dagang like this before.
Could it be that what Uncle Wu meant by seeing the world was for him to learn this?
"No, Old Wu, you know the situation in our commune. How can we afford to build roads?"
"So, once you've established the mushroom cultivation base and made some money, will you still be worried about not having enough money to build the road?"
President Fu also started to cry poor.
They are both old foxes. They are very familiar with crying poor and don't even need to write a draft.
The two old foxes cried poor to each other, leaving the team leader and Zhou Ziwen aside.
The captain seemed to be accustomed to this. He shrugged his shoulders with Zhou Ziwen and then lowered his head to drink his tea.
It’s not easy to drink President Fu’s tea. If Zhou Ziwen hadn’t come today, he really wouldn’t be willing to take out his own good tea to entertain them.
President Fu thinks highly of Zhou Ziwen. Even when he was arguing with Wu Dagang, he still spoke to him enthusiastically, which made him feel quite embarrassed.
The commune was very efficient. Before they had finished their tea, the people who were going to the meeting had already gathered. A young staff member knocked on the door and asked them to go to the meeting.
"Let's go, let's go to the meeting."
President Fu stood up and greeted Zhou Ziwen and the others.
I went to the meeting office with President Fu, and there were already quite a few people sitting there.
Zhou Ziwen only knew two of them, one was Vice President Wang, and the other was Liu Aiguo, deputy secretary of the commune.
"Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Comrade Zhou Weiguo, the team leader of the Dabazi Production Team."
"This is the secretary of the Dabazi Production Team, Wu Dagang, Secretary Wu."
"This young man is Comrade Zhou Ziwen, who provided mushroom growing technology and led Dabazi Village to grow mushrooms. He was an educated youth sent to the countryside and is also the leader of the Dabazi Village Mushroom Group."
Before the meeting started, President Fu introduced Zhou Ziwen and others in detail, among which Zhou Ziwen became the main person introduced.
As for Zhou Weiguo and Wu Dagang, there was actually no need for him to introduce them. After all, they had known each other for so many years and were already very familiar with each other.
Then, President Fu introduced the leaders of the commune.
Of course, the main purpose is to introduce Zhou Ziwen.
After a round of visits, Zhou Ziwen became familiar with these leaders of the commune.
He has a good memory. President Fu only introduced them once and he remembered their names and faces.
If I encounter it next time, I won’t be at a loss.
"This must be Comrade Zhou Ziwen, right? I've heard of you a long time ago, and this time I finally get to meet you in person, haha!"
The commune secretary was very enthusiastic towards Zhou Ziwen. After President Fu introduced him, he even stood up and shook hands with him.
"Secretary Chen, you are too kind. I just wanted to find something to do, and I didn't expect the leaders to value it so much." Zhou Ziwen looked humble.
"Haha, what Old Wu said is indeed right. You are indeed very humble."
Secretary Chen pointed at Zhou Ziwen and smiled.
As both were secretaries, he and Wu Dagang had a good relationship, and he also learned a lot about Zhou Ziwen's affairs through Wu Dagang.
Especially when Wu Dagang and the team leader came to the commune to report the situation yesterday, he paid more attention to understanding Zhou Ziwen.
"Haha, it's getting late. Let's not waste time. Let's solve the problem first!"
President Fu said impatiently.
"I think it's a good thing that the Dabazi Production Team has established a mushroom cultivation base. Finding a new way to generate income under such difficult conditions is commendable..."
President Fu spoke at length in a very eloquent manner.
Zhou Ziwen felt familiar with this kind of meeting. After thinking about it carefully, isn't this how the team leader usually holds meetings?
"Haha, this is really a continuation of the same lineage!"
After listening for a long time, Zhou Ziwen felt as if he had listened, but also as if he had not listened.
Fortunately, after the opening remarks, we quickly got to the point.
At this point, whether it was the people from the commune, or the team leader and Wu Dagang and others, they all became serious.
"I think there's nothing to discuss. The commune will be responsible for sales, and your production team will be responsible for planting. Why not just split the profits 50-50?"
Vice President Wang of the commune spoke.
"That's impossible. We worked so hard to grow these mushrooms, and you didn't contribute anything, yet you still want a 50% share? Are you trying to rob us?"
The captain objected without hesitation. (End of this chapter)
