Chapter 301: Make a small vest to win people's hearts
"Why not?"
Bai Wei was stunned for a moment.
Fenghuang Village is closest to the army. Huang Siyu originally went to Fenghuang Village as an educated youth and was eventually transferred to the army.
When she was by the river before, her sisters-in-law had pointed out to her that Phoenix Village was only two ridges away from the troops, so when she wanted to plant tobacco on a large scale, the first place she thought of was Phoenix Village.
In this era, the rural areas still practiced collective economy.
Bai Wei just wanted to cooperate with Fenghuang Village and have the whole village grow tobacco collectively. She only needed to act as a middleman to open up the connection between the Hongta Tobacco Factory and Fenghuang Village, and the production line would be completed.
Under the current collective economic system, her profit point would not be too high, but what she was waiting for was the land reform after 1978.
Before this, all the work is to pave the way for the future.
Bai Wei’s idea is very simple, which is to become a real tobacco tycoon!
"The people of Fenghuang Village are tough and it's not appropriate to cooperate with them..."
Song Qinian's words were very tactful, but Wu Hongying jumped up and said.
"How can they be called tough, Miss Bai Wei? The people there are so poor that they have to team up with other people to rob people! You can't go to a village like this! Absolutely not!"
Wu Hongying waved her hands repeatedly.
"Bandits? Really?"
Bai Wei turned his head to look at Song Qinian, but Song Qinian nodded silently.
"The day I met you, I was patrolling the mountains. Before that, we had just captured a group of bandits. They were indeed from Phoenix Village."
Song Qinian's brows were twisted into a frown. He really didn't want Bai Wei to take any risks.
It is precisely because of the hardship and poverty of Phoenix Village that these people are on the road to ruin.
"Sister Bai Wei, you want to grow tobacco. The amount you produced last time is enough. You don't need to grow so much. Now it's all collective economy. No matter how well you do, you are only making money for the village. It all goes into the public account. You won't get anything good out of it. It's really unnecessary."
Wu Hongying also knew that Bai Wei was capable, but she didn't want her to do such a thankless task.
"Weiwei, I don't agree either."
Looking at Song Qinian's disapproving look, Bai Wei knew that he was worried about his own safety.
"Now that you've said that, I'll think about it."
Bai Wei's mind still hadn't completely calmed down.
"Sister Hongying, please help me find out. If there really are tobacco seeds, I still want them."
Hearing Bai Wei's firm expression, Wu Hongying had no choice but to nod in response.
"Okay, I'll look for it for you, but forget about Phoenix Village. If you really want to plant in the village, then let me keep an eye out for you to see if there are any more suitable villages, okay?"
Wu Hongying worked at the grain station and was always well-informed about the news.
"That's fine, Sister Hongying. Thank you for your help."
Bai Wei just nodded casually.
She also knew that under the current economic situation, if she really wanted to cooperate with the village, there would be a lot of tricks involved.
Fenghuang Village is the closest to the army and is also economically poor. Precisely because of the poverty, the talents have to think about finding a way to make a living.
This is the opportunity Bai Wei needs.
Bai Wei's heart was about to make a move, but she knew that Song Qinian would not approve of her doing so, so now in front of Song Qinian, she could only hold back for the time being.
"It's no problem at all. It's just a small matter!"
Wu Hongying clapped her hands happily.
That night, the He family insisted on keeping Bai Wei and Song Qinian for dinner. In addition, Bai Wei agreed to play the game, so they had dinner at the He family that night and stayed at Wu Hongying's home.
But when Bai Wei finished making the pattern for the vest, around six or seven o'clock after dinner, all the aunts came to the barber shop and crowded into the He family's yard.
"Everyone, this is what Bai Wei made to hit the board."
After Wu Hongying's enthusiastic introduction, Bai Wei felt much more energetic after the meal.
She made another small vest, but all the pieces were separated by panels. She didn't mind and started introducing them to everyone in the yard.
Those aunts all know a little bit of needlework.
Bai Wei's explanation was clear and understandable, and everyone was fascinated, especially Aunt Wang.
She has a grandson who is about the same age as Fuwa. He is the treasure of the family. When Aunt Wang saw the panda vest Fuwa was wearing, she thought about making one for her grandson.
Aunt Wang sat at the front, sitting the straightest and listening the most attentively.
"Weiwei, Aunt Wang is the director of the county land bureau. Her grandson is about the same age as Fuwa, and they get along well. If you can get in touch with her, it will be easier for you to get things done in the future."
Wu Hongying whispered something in Bai Wei's ear.
When Bai Wei heard this, she immediately walked up to Aunt Wang.
"Auntie Wang, I heard from Sister Hongying that Fuwa and your grandson are friends? It happens that I won't be home until tomorrow. If you don't mind, I can make you a small vest tonight. What's your grandson's zodiac sign?"
"Can you make one for me? That would be great! I'm really bad at sewing. My grandson was born in the year of the tiger."
Aunt Wang said quickly.
"He's a tiger. OK, then I'll make him a little tiger vest."
Bai Wei did what she said. Wang Minghui saw that there was a chance, so she simply stayed and waited until Bai Wei finished making the vest and took it out. She looked at the small vest in her hand. The two little tigers were very cute with their chubby faces. The more she looked at it, the more it looked like her chubby grandson.
"Okay, okay! This vest is well made! Comrade, what's your name? You made this vest, I can't just take it for nothing, I have to thank you very much!"
