Chapter 75 I Want to Participate Too
After the matter was finalized, Zhou Xian rode his bicycle to the Morning Glory Brigade and the Plum Blossom Brigade to tell them about choosing their brigade to build the plastic greenhouse.
However, what to plant in the greenhouse must be decided by the commune. Some things must be said in advance. Different crops have different growth times. We are afraid that when they see that other teams' crops have grown, but their own team's crops have not yet started to grow, they will become anxious and cause trouble.
"No problem, absolutely no problem. We will all follow the leadership's arrangements." The captains on both sides were very cooperative.
Especially the captain of the Morning Glory Brigade, he was so excited that he could hardly speak. As expected, she was the niece of their brigade, and her heart was with them.
He didn't know that Zhou Xian had become Secretary He's secretary. He just kept holding her hand and said, "Secretary Zhou, thank you. Thank you so much."
After watching Zhou Xian leave, he turned around and told the members of the team the good news.
He still remembered what Zhou Xian had said before. Those who oppressed women and children would definitely not be given a chance this time. As the team leader, he still understood the situation in the team.
Since people have been helping us so much, the team leader must not sabotage us and must support the work of the Women's Federation comrades.
Zhou Xian went to the Meihua Brigade again and informed his sister-in-law's father, Captain Hu.
"Secretary Zhou, how can I thank you?" Captain Hu was still a little nervous.
The daughter came back with a message saying that the things they gave were confiscated.
But Captain Hu felt that his daughter and sister-in-law must have contributed to the success of this project, otherwise she would not have come to inform them in person.
They also need to know how to thank others for their kindness.
Facing Captain Hu's repeated thanks, Zhou Xian did not accept them. "Uncle, I fought for you on this matter, but if you can't do it well, I will withdraw from you anyway. Don't blame me for being ruthless then."
In these matters, Zhou Xian would not do good deeds without leaving her name. The credit belongs to her, and she can do it. But if someone makes trouble, she can also take these things back, so that no one will think that she does these things as a matter of course.
Naturally, some things have to be made clear, and she won't be soft-hearted when she encounters someone who holds her back.
"Don't worry, we have to rely on the commune's help in this matter, and we will definitely not hinder the commune."
Captain Hu is not a fool. Others have helped him so far. If their own people don't live up to their expectations, he will take action himself. He can't let his leaders be disappointed with them.
Zhou Xian came to inform them and asked them to get ready, choose a place, and go back to report to Secretary He so that he could go to the plastic factory to purchase.
It took some time to deliver the things, but the batch of machines from Taohua Brigade arrived first.
Even Secretary He came out to take several looks at it. He had never seen this thing before. Although it had been reported in newspapers, the real thing was still different after all.
In the past, he didn't even dare to think about it. How could their small Baihua Commune be comparable to the factories in Beijing and Hai City? Even if he went to buy it himself, people might not even let him in.
"This advanced machine is different. Xiao Zhou, tell the people in your team to use it carefully."
"Don't worry, Secretary He. There are instructions on the machine. I think it's not difficult. I'll let them get started before they can operate it."
When the machine was transported to Taohua Brigade, the crowd was surprised again. When they heard that it was a machine from a big city, they all gathered around and followed it all the way to the factory.
Fang Ru and Qi Zhijie had been waiting for this day for a long time, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the machine being delivered.
But they soon became excited again because they could go to work.
Fang Ru was the deputy factory director, while Zhou Jiefang was also the factory director. However, the machine was obtained through the help of the educated youth, so the opportunity to speak was naturally given to the educated youth.
Knowing that she would be speaking on behalf of the factory, Fang Ru wrote the speech early, read it over and over again, and was so excited that she couldn't sleep for several days.
In order to create a lively atmosphere, Zhou Xian borrowed a camera from Director Ji, took a picture of the scene, and then wrote an article and submitted it to the provincial newspaper.
If the mushrooms can be dried and their storage time extended, the provincial capital can also be their sales channel.
Then why not create some hype in the newspapers first and make the things you give them famous.
Zhou Xian also learned how to use the machine. After he got the hang of it, he taught it to the recruited workers step by step to make sure they knew how to use it. Only then did he start drying the mushrooms.
The plastic from the other side also arrived, and Zhou Xian selected a few members to help the Morning Glory Team and the Plum Blossom Team build plastic greenhouses.
This time, the Trumpet Flower Brigade is responsible for growing oyster mushrooms, and the Plum Blossom Brigade is responsible for growing shiitake mushrooms.
After making the selection, Zhou Xian took out the planting book compiled by the system and said, "Although they are all mushrooms, they are varieties that have never been planted before. Who among you has the confidence to try it?"
Several people in charge of growing straw mushrooms looked at each other and asked, "Are we still going to other brigades to grow them like before and then get paid?"
Zhou Xian nodded, "Yes, but the planting time this time will be longer, and I may have to stay in another brigade for a while."
This is a voluntary registration, but I didn't expect everyone to be so willing to sign up. They rushed to sign up, and in the end, people were selected by drawing lots.
Zhou Xian copied the planting method to the person in charge and said, "Just like before, if you have any questions, don't make decisions on your own. Come to me directly. After all, this is not our own team, so don't conflict with others."
After everything was arranged, Zhou Xian returned to the commune to report on his work.
Every time she reported, Secretary He sighed and said that it was a good thing that Xiao Zhou was transferred here. She took care of all the work and he had some free time.
Zhou Xian naturally had to flatter his leader, "No, it's also thanks to your help that our work can proceed so smoothly."
After reporting on his work, Zhou Xian was called over by Director Ji again. There were more than a dozen female comrades at the Women's Federation, all of whom were the best pickle-making people they had found.
As for what it tastes like, they don’t know now, but in their team, many people have praised their pickling skills. Among them, some of them are so skilled that members of the team will ask them to help make pickles.
When I was called to the Women's Federation, I was a little confused. I didn't know why the leader called me over for no reason.
When I heard what Zhou Xian said, I was still a little dazed.
"Comrade, do you mean that we should come to the commune to make pickles? Can't that be made casually? Will anyone really buy it?" a female comrade asked in confusion.
"You just need to make them. Whether you can sell them or not is our business. I only have cucumbers and eggplants here right now. I'll have them delivered to you in a while. You can take some home and bring them to me when they're done. We need to see who has the best craftsmanship."
“Only those with good skills can stay?”
Zhou Xian nodded, "The one with good skills is mainly responsible for instructing everyone to make delicious pickles, and the others will follow the instructions of the person in charge and make pickles together."
The female comrades looked at each other, and from confusion at first, their eyes lit up as they understood the meaning of Zhou Xian's words.
"So that means we can work in the factory?"
"Yes." Zhou Xian nodded again, making them excited again.
"You are not just a worker, but a team leader. You have to lead your team members to make the most delicious pickles. If your pickle-making skills involve a family recipe and you don't want to pass it on to others, please think carefully about whether you can accept this situation."
"It's just making pickles. What kind of family tradition can it have? Every wife has some skill in making pickles. Anyway, I want to join in."
"Even if it's really a family heirloom, it's worth it to be able to use this skill as a worker."
Everyone tried their best to show off their skills in making pickles.
When Zhou Xiaocao brought the cucumbers and eggplants over, Zhou Xian and several staff members of the Women's Federation distributed these things to the female comrades and asked them to take them back to make pickles, and then bring them over when they were ready.
After watching the women leave, Director Ji said with a smile, "Once they go back and tell everyone, I guess the teams below will be very excited."
When they went to the brigade to inquire, they did not reveal these things for fear that someone would report false information. The people who were selected had all made careful inquiries.
After confirmation, the people on the list were called over and registered one by one.
There is no rush anyway. Even if you plant vegetables in your own plot, they won’t grow in one day.
When I was about to go back, someone called me.
"Sister Zhou, wait a moment."
Zhou Xian looked back and saw Yang Shengyi running towards them breathlessly. "Shengyi, why are you here?"
Zhou Xian took two steps forward.
Yang Shengyi panted for a few times before speaking, "Sister Zhou, I heard that you are looking for someone who can make pickles, right?"
Director Ji and the others also came over and asked with a smile, "Shengyi, you can also make pickles?"
Yang Shengyi nodded vigorously, "I can, it tastes pretty good, let me try it too."
"But don't you still have to go to school?" Li Lingling looked at Yang Shengyi and asked with some concern.
Even if she can do it, can a child who is still in school be recruited into the factory?
Yang Shengyi waved his hands quickly, "No, I don't want to join the factory. You helped me before, and I have nothing to repay you. I can make pickles, and I can help you, really, you believe me."
Zhou Xian was not surprised that Yang Shengyi could make pickles. After all, he had a lifetime of experience. In the original text, Yang Shengyi, who was reborn, made his first pot of gold by selling pickles.
Looking at Yang Shengyi's eyes, Director Ji was a little hesitant. It was not that she didn't trust this child. Looking at her previous appearance, she knew that she was able to do housework. She was just worried that it would affect the child's studies.
Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Director Ji, why don't we let Shengyi try? It's just a matter of dishes. Who knows, Shengyi might be able to give us a surprise."
Facing Yang Shengyi's eager eyes, Director Ji also laughed, "Okay, let's give it a try. Kid, you can take the food, but making pickles is one thing, don't let it interfere with your studies."
"No, making pickles is not difficult at all."
Yang Shengyi took the vegetables and his eyes fell on the tomatoes in the basket. "Can you give me some of that, too?"
Li Lingling also looked over and asked curiously, "Tomatoes can be used to make sauce?"
"Yes, it's sour and sweet, and delicious." Yang Shengyi recalled the thing called ketchup that she had eaten.
The raw material is this tomato, but at that time it was not called tomato, it was called tomato.
She was once disliked by her daughter-in-law because of this, who said she was old-fashioned and didn't understand the fashion of young people.
At that time, seeing that her eldest grandson liked to eat it, she thought about it, but her daughter-in-law thought that she didn't make it clean, so she threw it all away.
She is now Yang Shengyi, not the Yang Hongmei who was at the mercy of others, and will not repeat the mistakes of her previous life.
Whether it is called tomato or tomato, the raw material is this. As long as it can be made, it can be called anything.
