The old Party Secretary said, "Didn't you ever think that some people can work in the tofu shop while others can't? Wouldn't those who can't work there have the idea of taking advantage of the situation?"
Qian Sheng said, "I have really thought about this. Those who can't work in the tofu shop should go and grow soybeans instead."
The old Party Secretary nodded: "It's good that you have an idea." Looking at the number of cigarettes rolled, he said, "Let's go, your aunt has probably finished cooking."
In the end, Qian Sheng declined the invitation to have dinner at the old Party Secretary's house and decided not to go home.
On the third day, Zhang the tofu maker brought Zhang Chunmei to Qian Sheng's house. Zhang Chunmei didn't see Qian Duoduo, so she asked, "Uncle Captain, where's your Duoduo?"
Qian Sheng said with a smile, "At this time, she's still in school, but she'll be graduating soon!"

Qian Sheng smiled and said, "Have you thought this through?"
Zhang the tofu maker said with a smile, "Captain, what you said is something my Chunmei and I have discussed, and it seems feasible. However, I cannot hand over my secret recipe for making the soy milk."
Qian Sheng thought for a moment and said, "This secret recipe is indeed important. I didn't intend to know it. If you want to keep it, that's fine. Here's what we'll do: once our village's tofu workshop is built, I'll make you the deputy factory manager, and Chunmei will go to the workshop to be a production team leader."
Zhang the tofu maker stood up excitedly: "Thank you, Captain. I will definitely live up to your expectations."
