Chapter 252 Bai Wei's target, Hongta Tobacco Factory
"I know!"
When Zhao Fengzhu was asked by Bai Wei, he immediately waved his hand excitedly and spoke.
"The Hongta Tobacco Factory is in the county next to ours. My husband's cousin works there. The factory is not doing well now. I heard it's about to go bankrupt."
Hongta Tobacco Factory...
Bai Wei calculated the time and found that it was already 1978. The tobacco factory she knew was located in Yunnan and Guizhou. In 1977 and 1978, it was time for reform.
"Sister Bai Wei, are you growing these tobaccos to sell to tobacco factories? They can't sell their own tobacco, so where can they buy tobacco?"
Zhao Fengzhu shook his head, very worried that Bai Wei would grow a lot of tobacco in the future but not be able to sell it in the end.
Then all the efforts will be wasted.
"Don't worry, Sister Fengzhu. I have an idea in mind."
Seeing that Bai Wei was still so insistent, Zhao Fengzhu couldn't persuade her anymore.
Bai Wei asked softly, "Sister Fengzhu, I want to go to the Hongta Tobacco Factory later. Can you come with me? You said you know someone there."
Bai Wei decided to take the initiative.
She wants to grow tobacco in this area, but she also has to figure out the sales channels.
And her target was the Hongta Tobacco Factory.
"You want to go to the Hongta Tobacco Factory? You're pregnant, and that place is not close! It's also very tiring to go back and forth. Can Captain Song agree to let you go?"
Zhao Fengzhu had no objection. If Bai Wei really wanted to go, she could take her there.
After all, her family has been in contact with her cousin's family over the years, and she knows all the places.
"This... I'll ask Song Qinian, and he must nod his head."
Bai Wei did not act on his own.
Song Qinian is now very nervous about her health and wishes he could stay by her side 24 hours a day.
She didn't care too much about it. After all, she was already three months pregnant and the pregnancy was getting more and more stable. It wasn't a big deal to go on a long journey.
"Yes, yes, ask Captain Song. If he agrees, then I have no problem with that!"
Zhao Fengzhu patted his chest and assured Bai Wei.
The group arrived at the river in a mighty manner. The land here had not been moved for a whole winter and was already in a semi-deserted state.
If you want to reclaim wasteland, you have to turn over all the soil, and clear away all the stones and weeds.
"Come on, everyone, let's all work hard and do it together!"
Zhao Fengzhu has a loud voice. With a wave of her hand, she calls everyone to work together.
The land here was once cultivated, but now that it has been tilled again, it is not a big problem.
People took hoes and started to clear the ground, turning over stones and weeds and throwing them to the side.
Bai Wei looked at everyone working enthusiastically and wanted to pick up a hoe and go down to the fields to do some work together. She wanted to contribute as well, but as soon as she moved, Xiao Meng, who had been staring at her, snatched the hoe from her hand.
"Master, you just need to watch from the sidelines. You can't move."
When she spoke, everyone looked up at Bai Wei.
"Sister Bai Wei, you can't move. If something goes wrong, we won't be able to afford the blame from Captain Song."
"That's right, we just need to work, and you just need to take a good rest."
No one allowed Bai Wei to work.
Bai Wei had no choice but to hand the hoe to Xiao Meng, and she just watched from the side.
But after looking at it for a long time, she felt really bored.
She glanced at the river. The weather had warmed up, and the previously cold river surface had thawed. Now there were fish swimming around in it.
Bai Wei immediately came up with an idea. She tore off some bark from a nearby tree and connected several pieces of bark together to form a long line.
Everyone was turning the soil, and earthworms were dug out from time to time. Bai Wei took the earthworms and put them one by one on the edge of the field. If it were someone else, the densely packed earthworms would make their body numb just by looking at them.
Bai Wei didn't care at all. He had the "fishing line" and the "bait", the only thing missing was a fish hook.
There happened to be a pin tied to Bai Wei's military bag, so she used the pin to make a temporary fishhook. The fishing equipment looked really simple, but she didn't care.
I threw earthworms into the river as bait, and soon there was movement.
As the water surface rumbled, Bai Wei caught a grass carp weighing more than one kilogram.
Hearing what happened over here from Bai Wei's end, all the military wives ran over curiously.
No one expected that Bai Wei was really good at fishing. She caught fish one after another. Soon, the ridge of the field was filled with seven or eight fish, all of which flapped their tails lively and looked very energetic.
"Sister Bai Wei, you... you can also fish!"
Everyone was amazed.
There are really a lot of fish in this river, and they had thought about fishing before.
After all, the fish tastes really good.
But after living here for so long, with their abilities, they have never caught a single fish.
Bai Wei continued to take the bait, looking at the eager expressions on everyone's faces.
"Sister Fengzhu, please go home and get a bucket. If there are enough fish, we can share one among our families! This will be our reward for our hard work today!"
