Zhou's mother had already learned the news from Yang Chunyan and knew that they had decided to make pickles and sell them, so she said nothing and just sat there watching the brothers make a profit.
Zhou Huairong: "Grandpa is right. No matter what, we have several purchasing points. It is impossible for them to snatch up all the supply at once."
Seeing that none of them understood the point, Zhang Xiuxiang interrupted, "As the old saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers. What we're worried about now is that the person who took over Boss Zheng wants to find someone else to cooperate with. The youngest one said that Wang Zhen asked me to start preparing to sell pickles."
Zhou Huairong said worriedly: "Youngest, Boss Zheng is gone. What if the new guy doesn't cooperate with us? There will be no one to help sell the pickles!"
After hearing this, Zhou Huaian suddenly understood why Wang Zhen said that there were pros and cons to transferring Boss Zheng. Otherwise, if they continued like this, once they had made their pickles, if the other company stopped making them, they would be at a loss without their own sales channels.
Li Qiuyue said proudly: "What are you afraid of? If no one sells it, we can go out and sell it ourselves!"
Zhang Xiuxiang also nodded, "It's the same when selling food. As long as you make it clean and delicious, you won't have to worry about no one buying it!"
Yang Chunyan took over the conversation, "Second sister-in-law and Qiuyue are right. We can hire people to sell our products. As long as the food is delicious and of good quality, we won't be afraid of not being able to sell it!"
"It's just like when we used to sell corn and mushrooms on the street. As long as the products are good, there is no problem selling them," said Zhao Huifang.
Zhou Huaishan said with a smile: "Look, our half of the sky has said it and done it. We are grown men, we can't be less courageous than half of the sky!"
Zhou Huairong smiled and nodded, "Youngest, tell me in detail, what are you and Doctor Xiao Wang planning?"
"Ahem!" Zhou Huaian cleared his throat, "I discussed with Wang Zhen... After we finish making truffles this season, we will start preparing to make pickles. He wrote out the rules in the next two days. Now it depends on whether you are willing to follow them?
Also, if the new boss in the provincial capital is unwilling to cooperate with us, we will have to sell pickles, mushrooms, and truffles by ourselves, and it will not be so easy to make money in the future!"
"I want to follow." Zhou Yiding immediately expressed his opinion. "The money we invest is earned anyway. To be honest, even if we lose it all, we still have shares in the power station and a house in the county town. We can't even spend all the rent."
Zhang Xiuxiang followed suit, "I told the second oldest brother a long time ago that no matter what the youngest brother and his wife do, as long as they are willing to take us with them, we will follow them and we will never be able to get rid of them!"
"We'll follow too." Zhou Huairong said without hesitation, "One ding is not too little. Even if we lose all the money we earn, we not only have Ning'an's house, but also a large medicinal field and forest in the back mountain! We can't even spend all the money we earn from selling herbs."
Zhou Huaishan nodded, "Brother is right. Not to mention the herbs from the past two years, the forest we just contracted is only in its first year, and the wild honey harvested by the youngest and Yiding who brought back the bees is sold for more than 200 yuan."
The old man, Zhou's father, and Zhou's mother looked at them with satisfaction, "As long as you brothers are of one mind, it's only a matter of time before you make a lot of money by selling pickles."
Zhou Huaian said with a smile: "Grandpa, when we make a lot of money, we will buy you a car to ride in."
Although he knew that as long as he came back and told his elder brother, Ding Ding Mao and the others would definitely fight him without hesitation, he still felt a little heartbroken when he heard it with his own ears.
The old man nodded happily, "Okay, I'll wait for you to buy me a car."
Zhao Huifang said: "I'm still killing the chicken. I'll go get it and braise it so we can eat together!"
"I just picked out two pieces of fried meat. I'll go and get it too." Li Qiuyue also left in a hurry.
"I haven't prepared anything. Go back and get a piece of bacon!" Zhang Xiuxiang also went back to get the vegetables, and Yang Chunyan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, went to the kitchen.
Father Zhou said to Zhou Huaian, "What are you going to do with your Uncle Datian and Uncle Xu?"
Zhou Huaian: "Chunyan said that we can run a pickle factory and build a power station..."
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Youngest, there is someone backing us up in the provincial capital for truffles and red mushrooms. As long as we bring them back, we won't have trouble selling them. The pickle business is just like us.
If we really ask the villagers to invest, it would be great if we could make money, but if we lose money, those people will be very troublesome!"
Zhou Huairong nodded, "Yes, as long as there is no money to share with them, they will definitely block your door and ask you to return the share money to them."
Zhou Yiding also said: "Youngest, I think we just need to ask a few people who are close to us, such as Xiaoxue's family, Xu Hongbing, Lin Wu and Erchun, whether they want to invest money or not."
Zhou Huaian thought for a moment and said, "I will go find Uncle Xu and Uncle Datian first and tell them the situation. We have already decided on the people within our organization.
In a couple of days, I will go to Wang Zhen to get the charter, wait for him to decide on the equipment, and see how much the total investment is. Then we can sit down and discuss whether or not to raise funds in the village."
Father Zhou nodded, "Yes, let's do it step by step. Once everything is settled, we can discuss those things later!"
Zhou Huaian: "Okay, then I'll go to Uncle Xu and Uncle Datian. We'll start collecting truffles in about a month, and we need to discuss and decide on a purchasing point."
"You go and discuss it. Let's finish watering the medicinal fields in the back mountain and come back to eat." The old man and the Zhou father and son all stood up and walked out.
Zhou Yiding saw that they were all watering the plants, so he followed them and said, "I'm going to the mountain to check on my medicinal field, and I'll open the reservoir and water it."
Zhou Huaian pushed his bicycle out and ran into Zhou Jialiang and his friends who were coming back from school. "We'll have lunch at my dad's house. Come to my place."
"Oh oh!" Zhou Jialiang and his friends didn't even go home, and ran to his house with their schoolbags on their backs, "Let's watch TV!"
"Let me see what delicious food we can have for lunch." Zhou Jiakang threw his schoolbag onto the rattan chair and ran to the kitchen. Seeing his mother cutting dough to make steamed buns, he jumped up happily and said, "Grandma, make some big steamed meat buns for us."
Zhou's mother glared at him in disapproval, "All you know is eating delicious food every day!"
"My father said that in life, food and clothing come first!"
"Your father is busy making money every day now, what about you?"
"I'm still studying. Aunt Yao said that if I study well, I can also make money." Zhou Jiakang went to the stove and watched her make dumplings. "Grandma, what's the filling?"
"It's stuffed with pork belly, mushrooms and celery." Zhou's mother smiled and tapped his nose. "Your father and aunt's words are more useful than your mother's!"
Zhou Jiakang smiled innocently, "My father and aunt never scold us, and they even buy us baby books. They are nothing like my mother, who always glares at us and says, 'I see you want to eat yellow broom sticks and bamboo shoots fried with meat.'"
"Isn't it for your own good that I'm beating you? Look at the brothers and sisters of Mina. They want their mother and I to beat them, but they don't even think of it!"
"Tsk~ They are not cheap people who like to be beaten!" Zhou Jiakang grabbed some flour and said, "Grandma, Xiaochuan said his sister cried yesterday."
Zhou's mother looked at him in surprise, "Mina or Xiu Na? What's going on? Is someone bullying them?"
Zhou Jiakang said angrily: "Sister Xiu Na, I heard that someone in his village cut down his family's bamboo. Sister Xiu Na talked to him, and that person cursed them. It was very ugly!"
"Let's call your aunt and father to check it out later." Zhou's mother sighed, "Look, children without parents are always bullied!"
Zhou Jiakang thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, why don't you let my dad ask Grandpa Datian for help and bring them to our village? We have a large family, and if anyone dares to bully them, we'll beat the shit out of him!"
"You don't learn your lesson!" Zhou's mother raised her hand and gave him a slap. "Watching TV is for you to learn from good people. Who do you want to beat the shit out of?"
Zhou Jiakang rubbed his forehead, "It wasn't me who said that. It was Brother Liang who told Xiaochuan that we got Qiaoling's household registration here."
"Don't talk nonsense outside in the future. Qiaoling's family is different. They can't live in your cousin's in-laws' house, and no one in her family will take them in. That's why we helped them register their household registration here. They don't even have a piece of land."
Mother Zhou thought she had to talk to the older kids and not say everything in front of the kids.
"I understand. Without land, there will be no food to eat."
"That's good to know!" Zhou's mother put the wrapped buns on the steamer, covered it with a lid and went to the backyard, "Chunyan, go to Mina's house this afternoon. Xiaokang said..."
Yang Chunyan put the radish leaves in the basin and said, "How can these people be so shameless that they even want to steal the things of a few children?"
"It's nothing strange. People with red eyes and evil hearts can be greedy for anything." Mother Zhou took away the red carrot that Xiao Jiuer was holding. "It's delicious, but you can't eat this one. It's spicy."
Little Jiuer thought the red one looked pretty, "Guo Guo! Jiuer, eat it!"
Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "There are cakes and dried persimmons in the main room. Go get some for the kids."
"That's great!" Mother Zhou picked up Xiao Jiuer and said, "Peel off a thick layer of radish skin, wash it, dry it in the sun and put it in a pickle jar. The sour water soaked with radish skin looks good."
"Hmm!" Yang Chunyan peeled the red radish, washed the outer red skin and radish leaves, put them in a winnowing basket and hung them in the yard to dry. After the moisture was dried, she put them in a kimchi jar and ate them with porridge in the morning.
…
Zhou Huaian went to Zhou Datian's house first. He Hongxiu came out wearing an apron and told him that their grandfathers had gone to work in the mountains, and they would go to his house to find him after work and dinner.
After he agreed, he went to Secretary Xu's house and saw him repairing bamboo baskets in the yard. "Uncle Xu, have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet!" Secretary Xu looked up and smiled at him, "I'm just waiting for you to get something good and treat me to a drink!"
"I haven't been into the mountains these past two days. I'll go in and take a look tomorrow." Zhou Huaian parked his bicycle and followed him to the main room. "It seems to be warmer this year than last year, huh? It's already October, and it's not that cold."
"I think it's about the same!" Secretary Xu picked up the thermos and poured him a glass of water, then said cheerfully, "The market is about to open. Is there any news from the provincial capital? How much goods do they want this year?"
"The quantity has already been decided. We'll take as many as you can get!" Zhou Huaian took a sip of tea. "The trouble is..."
Secretary Xu was silent for a while after hearing this, then patted Zhou Huaian's hand and consoled him, "It's normal for someone to snatch business from a profitable business. The good thing is that the provincial capital can wait until we sell out this season's goods before making any changes!
Don't worry too much, they can see the quality of the goods we supply them. I believe the new boss will not give up on us easily and look for other newcomers to cooperate with! " (End of this chapter)
