The next morning, the provincial daily specially opened a section to recruit enthusiastic citizens.
It includes food, accommodation and transportation, which is equivalent to a free one-day tour. Moreover, the time is chosen when everyone is resting, so there is a constant stream of people coming to sign up.
Director Niu assigned Xiao Liu to be in charge of this activity. Xiao Liu took the list to discuss with Jiang Wanyue, because there would be an essay competition later, so many intellectuals had signed up.
Jiang Wanyue selected one third intellectuals, one third retired women, and one third from other walks of life.
On the morning of the fourth day, two buses filled with enthusiastic citizens drove towards Xiaojing Brigade.
Jiang Wanyue took a bus back to Xiaojing Brigade one day in advance.
First, the factory was cleaned from inside to outside, and the canteen was asked to prepare meals with local flavors. Everything else continued to operate as usual.
When the workers learned that someone from the province was coming to inspect, they became very nervous.
Jiang Wanyue held a meeting with everyone: "...People in the province said that our factory is a black-hearted factory, so they arranged this event. You don't need to do anything. Just work hard in your own position as before..."
The next day at eleven o'clock in the morning, two buses drove into the village.
Many people get carsick and start vomiting after getting off the bus.
Jiang Wanyue asked someone to prepare hot water early. After drinking the hot water, the people who were carsick felt a little better.
It's lunchtime now, so there's no need to rush to the factory. I'll take everyone to the cafeteria to have a meal and then take a rest.
The food in the cafeteria is simple, consisting of vegetables from the fields, a salted duck egg and a pork bone soup per person.
At 1:30 in the afternoon, Jiang Wanyue finally appeared in front of everyone. She smiled and said to everyone, "Hello everyone, I am the director of Xiaojing Processing Factory. The Xiaojing Food Store in the province is our factory's store. Recently, many people in the provincial capital have said that our factory is a black-hearted factory. The newspapers have also reported this. We are unable to clarify it, so we can only ask everyone to come and see it with their own eyes."
"Everyone, come and see our fishing grounds first. Please come this way."
After getting off the bus, everyone saw the fish pond.
Under the scorching sun, the water in the pond ripples and you can see schools of fish jumping up, looking very active.
"Some people say that we use drugs to raise fish. How is that possible?" Jiang Wanyue bent down and broke off a piece of fish grass. "This is the fish grass we planted. It is the favorite food of grass carp. In addition to fish grass, we also feed them wheat bran, tofu dregs, etc. After the fish in our fish farm are hatched, they are raised in the hatching pond for three or four months before being put into the fish pond. After about ten months, the grass carp will grow to three or four kilograms, and then they can be caught and made into our products."
She pointed to another fish pond in the distance and said with a smile, "We are cleaning the pond today. Everyone present will have a treat. Each person can take a fish home to add to their meal."
Everyone quickly gathered over to another fish pond.
A dozen male laborers were pulling the net. Grass carps weighing three or four pounds were jumping around in the net, and occasionally there would be a big fish weighing five or six pounds.
"Who on earth said that the fish they produce weigh 20 to 30 kilograms? That's outrageous!"
"Grass carp can grow to 20 to 30 kilograms, but they are very rare. Moreover, grass carp that grow to this size are very old and the meat is fishy and not tasty."
"As expected, rumors cannot be trusted, seeing is believing."
After the fish were pulled up, the workers gave one to each enthusiastic citizen, who tied the fish with a straw rope and just had to carry it in their hands.
No one expected that they could take a fish away with them, and everyone was extremely happy.
Some people also harbored dark thoughts: "Just because grass carp is fine doesn't mean ducks are fine. They must be using fish to bribe us so that we don't talk nonsense. Let's wait and see."
Jiang Wanyue took everyone to the duck farm.
This duck farm was established by Song Jianguo himself.
After more than a year of development, the duck farm has expanded again and again. It now has more than 20 employees and raises tens of thousands of ducks. You can hear the ducks' quacking before you even get close, and it's so noisy that it makes your brain hurt.
The reason why everyone signed up was that they wanted to see the duck with eight legs with their own eyes. They all rushed over here and Jiang Wanyue was pushed away.
"Hey, where is the duck with eight legs? Can't you see it?"
"This duck is really well-grown and fat, much better than the ducks in the market."
“It looks delicious, can I buy it?”
"Wow, there are so many little yellow ducks over there, so cute!"
The crowd didn't see what they wanted to see and were soon attracted by the little yellow duck.
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "The duck farm mainly feeds the ducks with corn, and also uses some grain bran, etc. If you are interested, you can feed the ducklings yourself."
Some ladies were so overwhelmed by the sight of the ducklings that they grabbed a handful of corn and fed the ducks themselves.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Liu quickly raised the camera in his hand and took a picture of this harmonious scene between man and animal.
After visiting the duck farm, Jiang Wanyue took the group into the factory and let them see the production process of the products with their own eyes. She explained each process in detail. This was the first time for everyone to enter a food production workshop, and they were all very curious...
I was busy until five o'clock in the evening.
The canteen arranged dinner again, and then sent everyone to the county guesthouse to rest for a night. The next morning, breakfast was prepared and then they were sent back to the provincial capital.
Zhao Xiangbei calculated the cost and said with a sad heart: "Director, the travel expenses of these people, plus the fish sent out, cost nearly a thousand yuan."
Jiang Wanyue smiled but said nothing.
In a few years, if a company wants to advertise in the provincial daily newspaper, it will have to spend tens of thousands of dollars.
Now you can do such a big publicity by spending only one thousand, which is really a big profit.
Jiang Wanyue asked the factory to load two trucks with goods at the same time and head to the provincial capital together. There was already a large batch of unsold goods in the warehouse, and there was not enough space for so much goods to be shipped in, so they could only be put in the trucks temporarily.
The next morning, Dujuan got up early and went to the phone booth to buy a newspaper.
"Director, that's great! The newspaper has clarified it for us!"
The newspaper was brought back and a group of people crowded over to read the contents.
There is a photo in the middle, which shows a harmonious scene of enthusiastic citizens feeding ducks. The big ducks are quacking on the side, and the little ducks are happily eating corn.
The news reported in detail the production model of the Xiaojing Processing Plant, especially the fishery and duck farm, and many enthusiastic citizens came forward to share their personal experiences.
Finally, Xiao Liu also posted the factory's essay competition.
Jiang Wanyue clapped her hands: "Get ready, business will come soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and it was the group of old ladies at the entrance of the alley.
The old lady looked at Jiang Wanyue and said embarrassedly: "Big sister, we believed the rumors and stopped people from buying things from you. We are sorry for you!"
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "It's fine as long as the misunderstanding is clarified. It's okay. Our store welcomes everyone at any time."
The old ladies all had pensions, and each bought some groceries worth a few dollars and left.
Afterwards, the flow of people gradually increased, and many people came to support them after reading the newspaper.
