Chapter 431: You are really my lucky star.
Wen Jiu saw that the two eyes of squad leader Chen were full of hunger and eagerness, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She was not a piece of pork...
Why are you looking at her like that?
She took a half step back, moved closer to Lu Beiye and stretched out three fingers.
"Three hundred pounds?"
Squad Leader Chen's voice broke with excitement, but he saw Wenjiu shaking his head.
30 kilograms is fine!
Although it's a little insufficient, it's better than nothing, right?
The warriors didn't give up!
"Will three pigs be enough?"
The gentle voice startled everyone and their eyes almost popped out.
"Three pigs?"
If a pig weighs about 100 kilograms, buying three pigs would be almost 500 kilograms, which would cost at least 400 yuan!
"Are you serious? You're not joking?" Squad Leader Chen couldn't wait to confirm. He was afraid that Wen Jiu was just joking with him.
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Really!" She took money out of her pocket and said, "I'll ask you to take people to buy the pig, Team Leader Chen. I don't know much about buying meat and I'm afraid of being cheated."
The people in the kitchen are all experts, and they can definitely buy more meat with the same amount of money.
Looking at the money in his hand while warming the wine, Platoon Leader Chen's lips trembled with excitement.
Five hundred dollars for meat...
How excited are the warriors?
Lu Beiye was standing nearby when his soldiers came over and said something to him. He quickly walked over and said to Wen Jiu, "I have something to do. Talk to Squad Leader Chen and go home."
"Team Leader Chen, please take my wife to school later. She's a little confused and I'm afraid she'll end up somewhere she shouldn't be."
The troops are no different from anywhere else.
There are many places where you can't mess around.
After arranging the warming of the wine, Lu Beiye turned around and left in a hurry.
Squad Leader Chen smiled and said, "On behalf of all the soldiers, I would like to thank you. I can take the meat but the money cannot pass through my hands, so as to avoid any trouble in the future that will be difficult to deal with."
It seems so.
Wenjiu thought for a while and said: "How about this, when you go shopping recently, call me and I will go with you." Paid.
"no problem!"
Squad leader Chen clapped his hands happily and said, "We'll call you when we go there in two days. I'm sure everyone will be very happy during the Lantern Festival and can eat a good meal of meat."
Thinking of this, he sighed again, "I've been struggling for several years..." It would be better to warm the wine!
Wen Jiu thought for a moment and asked, "Sergeant Chen, I heard from Captain Lu that the troops have opened up land to grow vegetables and raise pigs. Are you in charge of this?"
Squad Leader Chen sighed, "Yeah! We did it all by ourselves. Vegetables are fine, we grow enough to eat, but meat is not the same. If we raise too many pigs, there will be nothing to eat in the winter, and if we raise too few, there won't be enough to eat."
They are all young and strong guys who do life-threatening work. How can their physical fitness be good if they don't eat meat?
Every time he thought about it, he couldn't help but worry.
Wen Jiu said: "I have an idea, but I don't know if it is feasible."
Squad Leader Lu said, "Tell me about it."
"It's like this. I remember there was an abandoned reservoir not far from the unit. I remember that the reservoir was quite large, and there were two mountains around it. We could fence off the mountains and raise some chickens, ducks and geese inside, and we could also raise some fish in the reservoir."
"The cost of raising chickens, ducks and geese should be lower than that of raising pigs. Chickens, ducks and geese can lay eggs after three or four months of raising them, and the fish in the reservoir can eat the duck and goose feces. If it is really possible to raise them, I think it should be good."
Wen Jiu added, "You can consider whether it can be done. I don't know much about the military affairs."
We must apply for permission to enclose mountains and reservoirs. If this can be done, we can also build farms if someone takes the lead, and the troops will be responsible for the vertical supply.
Squad leader Chen slapped his thigh excitedly, "Of course we can! What a good idea! I'll go talk to the team leader later."
"If this can really be done, our troops won't have to worry about having no meat to eat in the future."
Seeing Sergeant Chen so excited, Wenjiu was also very happy. The soldiers worked so hard and deserved good treatment. It would be great if he could really help them.
Now that things had been settled, the stone in Wenjiu's heart finally settled down.
Sergeant Chen was extremely excited. Wen Jiu said there was no need to send him off, but he still sent her to the gate of the family compound before returning to the unit, which made Wen Jiu feel a little amused and helpless.
The distance from the military base gate to the family compound gate is only eight or nine hundred meters. How could she get lost?
She watched Team Leader Chen leave, shook her head helplessly, and turned back home with her lunch box. When she got home, she washed the lunch box and put it away. Then she went back to her room and took out the paper and pen she used to draw her design. She had a lot of things to do after the New Year.
First of all, the clothing store must open for business around the 20th at the latest. If it is delayed too late, the popularity she carefully created years ago will be diluted.
This requires designing new styles, purchasing fabrics and materials, and arranging people to make them.
The next thing is making sanitary napkins. We need to find someone to make a machine for making cotton cores, and we also have to think about how to package them. There were no plastic bags on the market at that time, so it was impossible to use plastic products for packaging like we do today. There was also a series of problems such as how to produce them safely and hygienically, and how to prepare a production site. All of these needed to be solved one by one.
Before I started selling sanitary napkins and could maintain a stable income, the clothing store was my foundation.
Thinking of this, Wen Jiu calmed her mind and began to design clothes with full concentration. However, no matter how she designed, she felt that something was missing and she was not satisfied.
When Lu Beiye came back, he saw Wen Jiu sitting at the desk with a melancholy look on his face and sighing. He squatted down and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Wen Jiu turned around and hugged Lu Beiye's waist, rubbing it aggrievedly and said, "I'm done. I feel like I may have eaten too well during the New Year and my brain has grown too much fat, squeezing out the original space for my brain stem. Now I can't design beautiful clothes at all. I always feel like something is wrong."
Lu Beiye couldn't help laughing. He untied the rubber band that Wenjiu had tied around her hair, ruffled her hair and said, "Not really. If you can't come up with a design, think about it another day. Or go see if there's any beautiful fabric. Maybe you can find the feeling you want."
"It seems you are right."
Wen Jiu's wrinkled brows relaxed a little, "I'll go look at the fabrics some other day."
The quality of clothes depends first on the design, and then on the fabric used to make the clothes. No matter how good the design is, it will be useless without suitable fabric.
She had to change several of her previous designs because she couldn't find suitable fabrics.
"You are really my lucky star." Wen Jiu stood up happily, hugged Lu Beiye's neck, looked at his face, hesitated for two seconds, and then kissed him hard on the lips twice.
"Trojan horse, I love you so much..."
