"This greenhouse doesn't require many people. Can we find another way, another approach?"
Simply blinked her eyes.
"Uncle, what's on your mind?"
Liu Weimin chuckled.
"Hey, I was thinking, look at all these good things on our mountain. I've heard that city people love things from the mountains. What do you think, could we find a way to sell these things out here?"
"Does the supply and marketing cooperative have stalls that buy mountain products? Are the prices very low?"
She did remember this simple thing; she had specifically asked Zhu He about it at the county supply and marketing cooperative, but she hadn't really paid attention to the others.
After all, she was confident, she had plenty of things and money, and she never thought of exchanging the inventory in her space for money.
Liu Weimin hesitated for a moment, realizing that his idea was a bit wrong. In the past, when they couldn't even afford to eat, they had no choice. If someone was willing to take their money and exchange it for a few cents, they would be grateful.
Now things are much better; not only is shopping easier than before, but my standards have also risen considerably.
"Well, it's not that high,"
After a moment of awkwardness, her speech became increasingly fluent.
"Well, we produce this kind of thing, so it's normal that if there's too much of it, the price won't go up."
In previous years, we traveled around a lot and we knew that this stuff was everywhere here and worthless, but in other places, in the city, it was a real treasure.
You come from a big city, you know that, right?
Look at this thing, see if you can find a way to get it working.
If we were to put them in our hands, you know, if it were for our own family to eat, chestnuts would be alright; at least they could fill our stomachs when we were hungry.
You mean pine nuts, walnuts, and the like, if you want to eat them as food, they're not very filling.
If we're talking about selling it, we won't get a good price.
Every year when the time comes, everyone is overjoyed at the mention of collecting mountain produce, but once they bring it home, they are filled with worry.
This thing isn't considered a good thing in our rural area. It's everywhere in the mountains. You can pick up a bunch of it when you go up the mountain in any village. It's not even considered a good gift.
You say you can't find it in the city, but we have plenty in the countryside, tell me?
I was thinking of asking you for advice. Do you think we could find a way to sell them in the city? They could buy them, and we could get money. Don't you think that's a good thing?
Jian Dan's eyes lit up; she hadn't realized that this village chief had such a big idea.
However, most of the grassroots leaders at this time were genuinely dedicated to serving the people, which Jian Dan greatly admired.
But what about this approach?
Seeing her frown, Liu Weimin quickly added,
“You come from a big city, so you have a broad perspective. Since you came to Liujiatun, we have received a lot of help from you. If you can help us find another way out, we won’t let you down.”
She simply nodded. She wasn't a particularly enthusiastic person to begin with, but she couldn't bear to see the villagers suffering. She was also grateful to Liu Weimin and the other village officials for their hard work and dedication to the villagers, which is why she went out of her way to help and think of things.
As he spoke, his mind raced, considering the possibilities of this matter.
"Uncle, I understand what you mean, but I need to ask about the connections."
You know how chaotic things are outside right now. If this isn't handled properly, someone could accuse us of speculation and profiteering. I need to ask my uncles about the situation outside. We have to be careful to avoid giving anyone a handle to use against us.”
"Hey, you're right,"
Seeing that she didn't object, Liu Weimin grinned and started rubbing his hands together again.
He knew the situation outside, and naturally knew that he couldn't rush things.
"No rush, no rush, we can't rush,"
He had a strange trust in Jian Dan, always feeling that as long as she agreed, the matter would definitely work out.
“Xiao Jian, there’s really no rush. Take your time asking around. We’ve come a long way over the years, and life in our village is much better now. There’s no rush. I really hope to find more opportunities for our fellow villagers.”
This old farmer is the one who suffers the most.
Knowing this, I'm willing to help because it's simple.
After seeing Liu Weimin off, Jian Dan pondered his own connections. In Beijing, the only people he could trust were Chen Hongjun from the steel factory and Zhu Yan from the state-run restaurant. As for the others, they were just nodding acquaintances and were not within his consideration.
"Sis, come in and warm up!"
After they finished speaking, Cheng Rui quickly opened the door and welcomed her in.
"Sister, are you really going to help him find this way to sell his goods?"
The boy, about the same height as her, looked worried. They were no longer the innocent children they were in the Northwest two years ago. After their father's accident, although the arrival and discovery by Jian Dan and Cheng Chao prevented serious consequences, Cheng Zhuo was still heartbroken. That's why he moved his whole family from the Northwest to the Northeast and chose the border, showing how disheartened he was at the time.
He had overheard part of their conversation and was now somewhat worried about his sister.
I patted him on the shoulder, it was so funny.
"Don't worry, your sister isn't a child. She won't act rashly in this kind of situation."
"real?"
Cheng Rui's eyes were full of unease.
"Sis, don't lie to me. I know you're soft-hearted, but sis, you have to be rational."
You're just here in the countryside, not here to sell yourself. If you want to help them, you need to protect yourself first. You can't be too open with people.
I almost couldn't help but laugh.
"Xiao Rui, you're a man, not a child. Don't worry so much, okay? Otherwise you'll grow old with worry too soon."
