Chapter 225 Bai Wei's goal: a large tobacco grower

"Yes, I found it!"

Wu Hongying nodded.

"I originally thought that I would wait for you to come to the county town next month to give it to you. But Comrade Jin came to the county town and went to the state-owned hotel to find my eldest brother. After talking to my eldest brother, I found out that she was in the same unit as you, so I followed Comrade Jin to find you!"

Jin Tiantian went to the county town to buy fabric, but she made a special trip to the state-owned hotel just to find Wu Hongjun.

She wanted to find Wu Hongjun to confirm her trip to the capital.

The Wu family had already discussed it internally. Even if Wu Hongjun was unwilling, he had to agree to such a good promotion opportunity.

Wu Hongjun had no choice but to agree, and after chatting with Jin Tiantian, he realized that she and Bai Wei were not only in the same unit, but also knew each other. So Wu Hongying discussed with Jin Tiantian that he wanted to come to the unit to meet Bai Wei.

"Sister, I came with mother to see you as well."

As if he was afraid that Bai Wei would forget about him, Fuwa tilted his round little head and said happily.

"Yes, yes, good boy, Fuwa."

Bai smiled and greeted Jin Tiantian.

"Comrade Jin, you go in first, I'll be there in a moment."

Jin Tiantian also knew that Wu Hongying wanted to discuss something with Bai Wei, so she didn't ask any more questions.

The group happily walked into the yard, ready to take a good look at the newly purchased fabric.

They had never seen such good material before! It was a complete surprise.

"Sister-in-law, did you bring that thing?"

Bai Wei asked in a low voice.

Wu Hongying nodded, "Brother, move the goods down!"

Wu Hongjun got on the bus and came down from the corner of the compartment carrying a large sack.

Wu Hongying stuffed the big sack inside. It was blocked by cloth and no one noticed it.

Jin Tiantian didn't care. She thought that the things in the sack were local specialties that Wu Hongying brought to Bai Wei, and she didn't even look at them.

"This bag, all of them?"

Bai Wei was a little surprised when he saw the whole sack of goods.

"Yes, all of them!"

Wu Hongying opened the sack and scooped out a handful of seeds. "Sister Bai Wei, take a look. Are the seeds of this quality okay? Do you want some?"

In Wu Hongying's hand was a handful of brown seeds that looked a bit like melon seeds.

When Bai Wei saw this seed, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sure! This is it! Sister-in-law, you can even get this!"

Bai Wei took the seeds happily and looked at them in his palm. Each one was full and dry, and they were all good stuff.

"Sister Bai Wei, are you sure you want this?"

Wu Hongying frowned, looking worried.

When Bai Wei asked her for this before, she was very confused. No one would buy this thing! Whoever planted it would suffer the consequences!

"Hongying, what on earth is this?"

Wu Hongjun, like Fuwa, came here with Wu Hongying.

Their purpose is indeed the same: both uncle and nephew want to meet Bai Wei.

"This is..."

Wu Hongying frowned, but Bai Wei spoke openly.

"Brother Wu, these are tobacco seeds."

Bai Wei knew that the land here was not suitable for growing vegetables and fruits, but it was perfect for growing tobacco!

It’s just that tobacco seeds are hard for ordinary people to find, so Bai Wei asked Wu Hongying for help.

But she did have connections, she found it so quickly, and the quality was so good.

"Tobacco? Miss Bai Wei, you want to grow tobacco?"

Wu Hongjun was stunned.

Most people would never think of growing tobacco. Bai Wei is really different. She actually wants to grow tobacco!

"Yes, if I can't find the seeds, it's fine, but now that I have the seeds, I will plant them! Sister-in-law, how much is this bag of seeds? I'll give it to you."

Bai Wei was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. With this sack of tobacco seeds, she was already looking forward to the early spring!

"Sister Bai Wei, you really need to think twice! If you plant this, no one will harvest it!"

What Wu Hongying said is indeed true.

In this special era, the turbulent situation in the past few years has seriously affected the production of the tobacco industry. Some reasonable tobacco sales policies and measures have been defined as "profit-oriented" and "material incentives" and cancelled. Since the 1970s, the tobacco planting area has dropped significantly and the output has also plummeted.

In particular, the emphasis on "grain as the guideline" has severely dampened the production enthusiasm of tobacco farmers.

"Sister-in-law, I know that if it was two years ago, this thing really couldn't be done, but next year, the trend will change drastically!"

There was full confidence in Bai Wei's eyes.

In the 1970s, tobacco farmers did not need to apply for a license to grow tobacco. Bai Wei remembered clearly that in early 1977, new policies to support tobacco production would be introduced, and she had to seize this opportunity!

"Sister Bai Wei, do you have any inside information?"

Wu Hongying just felt it was a little strange.

Even she hadn't heard any rumors, so how could Bai Wei be so sure?

"I... I was just guessing. Sister-in-law, I want all the seeds in this bag! Don't worry, I know the profit and loss."

Bai Wei looked at the seeds in his hand.

Don’t underestimate these tobacco seeds. As long as they are cultivated properly, first- and second-grade tobacco leaves can become quite valuable and rare commodities!

In this era, special-grade Chinese cigarettes were made from first-grade tobacco leaves. The Chinese cigarettes at that time were truly top-grade and rare goods.

Bai Wei has only one goal, which is to grow at least second-grade tobacco leaves and catch up with the policy support next year!
