He Xianqiu nodded: "Yes, soaps with other scents."
"What's the scent?" Director Wu asked curiously.
He was really curious now, He Xianqiu made soaps with other scents.
"Calendula soap, bamboo charcoal soap, honeysuckle soap, lemon soap." said He Xianqiu.
"So many scents." Director Wu was surprised and thought for a moment, "Then give me 500 yuan for each of these scented soaps.
Director Wu had never smelled or seen these scents before, and was not sure whether the girls would like them, so he did not dare to order too many.
But considering that soap was in short supply, I ordered a lot.
"Okay, then send them all over today."
"well."
The two confirmed the time and then hung up the phone.
Then He Xianqiu called the transportation team again and asked them to come to Qinggang Brigade to pick up the goods.
The other party said to wait a moment and they would be there soon, so He Xianqiu hung up the phone.
After He Xianqiu hung up, he asked the operator how much the call would cost: "Hello, how much is the call?"
"That's six cents total," the operator said.
He Xianqiu handed the money to the operator, then turned around and left back to the soap factory.
When she was about a hundred meters away from the soap factory, she saw from afar that everyone was waiting for her outside the yard.
Even the captain didn't leave, he was waiting for her to come back.
He Xianqiu was so excited when he saw her that he quickened his pace.
When they arrived at the soap factory, Lin Jianshe, the team leader, asked first.
"He Zhiqing, what did the people at the county mall say?"
Everyone stared at He Xianqiu.
"Director Wu from the county shopping mall said that they want to order one thousand bars of soap, including one thousand bars of mugwort soap, one thousand five hundred bars of osmanthus soap, and five hundred bars of other scented soaps each." He Xianqiu replied with a smile.
Everyone cheered and smiled when they heard that the county town needed so much.
"Oh my god, the county wants too much, thousands of bars of soap and soap in total."
"So many, we can clear more than half of our inventory."
"Yes, so we have to prepare to make another batch." He Xianqiu said with a smile.
Everyone nodded. They wished they could have more. After all, the better the soap factory developed, the better off they, the employees, would be.
Besides, I'm used to doing farm work, so making soap and perfumed soap is no big deal at all.
He Xianqiu was very satisfied with everyone's positive attitude and said to them.
"The transport team's truck will be here soon. Everyone, help load the soap and perfumed soap onto the truck."
Everyone nodded and said in unison: "Okay."
After a while, the transport team's truck arrived.
When he got off the car and saw He Xianqiu, he immediately walked over with a smile on his face: "Comrade He, are you still transporting it to the county town this time?"
"Yes, we will transport it to the county town, but we still have to follow the team this time."
"No problem. It's no problem for you to follow the car back and forth."
"Okay, thank you then."
After everyone loaded the soap and perfumed soaps onto the truck, He Xianqiu called someone to go with her to the county town to deliver the goods.
"Li Yangping, come with me to the county town." He Xianqiu looked around and finally chose someone.
Li Yangping was stunned for a moment, then pointed at himself and said, "He Zhiqing, me?"
"Yes, it's you." He Xianqiu nodded.
Li Yangping touched his head, feeling somewhat happy, as if he had been entrusted with an important task.
He nodded seriously: "Okay."
When others saw that Li Yangping was chosen, they looked at him with envy.
They also thought that they would take a truck to the county town, which would give them face. After all, at that time, only people from the transport team could drive and ride on trucks.
He Xianqiu chose the people to go with, and then he said to the truck driver, "You can go now."
The truck driver nodded and got into the driving seat.
This truck is bigger than the last one and has a back seat for people to sit in.
So He Xianqiu sat in the passenger seat and Li Yangping sat in the back seat.
When the truck driver saw that everyone was on the truck, he started the truck and drove away.
…
After about an hour, the truck arrived at the county shopping mall.
When He Xianqiu got off the car, Li Yangping followed her awkwardly.
The biggest place he had ever been to was when he was in junior high school, when he went to school in a commune.
This is my first time in the county. The county is better than the commune, and the shopping mall is many times larger than the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune.
So I inevitably felt a little uneasy, but I soon calmed down.
Then he went to find the salesperson and asked her to call Director Wu out.
After a while, Director Wu came over in a hurry.
As soon as he saw He Xianqiu, he immediately greeted him: "Comrade He, you are here."
"Well, Director Wu, the goods are all in the car. Ask someone to count them."
The person next to Director Wu immediately went to count the items, and after counting, he said to Director Wu.
"Director, there are enough soaps and soaps."
"Okay." Director Wu nodded, and said to He Xianqiu, "Comrade He, come with me."
He Xianqiu nodded and followed Director Wu
When Li Yangping was still unsure whether to follow, He Xianqiu glanced at him and said, "You come along."
The truck driver had nothing to do, so he waited outside the mall.
Director Wu brought He Xianqiu and the others into the office, then took a key from his pocket and opened the cabinet.
He took out the money and tickets and handed them to He Xianqiu.
"Comrade He, please count."
He Xianqiu nodded, counted half herself, and handed the other half to Li Yangping.
He Xianqiu counted the money and bills in his hand, and Li Yangping finished counting soon after.
"He Zhiqing, I have a total of 3,000 yuan and 3,500 soap notes."
"Okay." He Xianqiu nodded, and then said to Director Wu, "Director Wu, we have enough money and tickets."
"That's good." Director Wu said.
The two then left the office and went to look for the truck driver outside the mall.
After He Xianqiu deposited the money into the bank, he took the two of them to a state-owned restaurant for dinner, and then they returned to the commune together.
After arriving at the commune, He Xianqiu went to the transport team to settle the bill, and then returned to Qinggang Brigade with Li Yangping.
On the other hand, after Ji Chenzhou came back from the city, he immediately went to the soap factory to find He Xianqiu.
"Where is He Zhiqing?" Ji Chenzhou asked.
"He Zhiqing went to the county town to deliver soap and perfumed soap."
"She went alone?" Ji Chenzhou frowned.
"No, I took Li Yangping with me."
Ji Chenzhou felt relieved. If she had gone alone, he would never be at ease.
After a while, He Xianqiu arrived at the soap factory, and Ji Chenzhou went up to her as soon as he saw her.
"Qiuqiu, you're back, how are you?"
"The county shopping mall asked for several thousand bars of soap and perfumed soap, and I just came back from delivering it." He Xianqiu said with a smile.
Ji Chenzhou nodded and said, "It's selling very fast. I heard some people discussing the goodness of our soap factory's soap on the road today."
He Xianqiu smiled. Customer satisfaction was the best thank you to their soap factory.
However, thinking that Ji Chenzhou had been very busy recently, He Xianqiu asked casually.
"What have you been busy with lately? Sometimes you're so busy that I can hardly see you."
"I'm not busy with anything. I just went to see if there is any place selling soap and perfumed soap." Ji Chenzhou replied.
"So what happened?"
"The mall in South City wants 500 bars of soap, 500 bars each of osmanthus soap and mugwort soap."
He Xianqiu's eyes lit up, "Very good, then you can go and negotiate for this order."
"Okay, I'll take care of it." Ji Chenzhou nodded with a smile.
In fact, he didn't just do these things, but there were too many people around and he couldn't let others know what he did, so Ji Chenzhou didn't tell the truth to He Xianqiu.
He has been going to the black market recently, and He Xianqiu's soap factory gave him an idea.
Before, we just went to the mountains to hunt rabbits, pheasants and wild boars and sold them on the black market.
But he found that he couldn't make much money from all these. It was just quick money and it took more time than necessary. It was still far from his goal, so he made a decision.
That is to raise some animals, but wild rabbits are rare, so Ji Chenzhou raised chicks.
However, it is not easy to get batch after batch of chicks. While Ji Chenzhou was exploring the market, he also looked for where he could find more chicks to sell.
Luckily, he did find it, but transporting it here was a bit troublesome, so he transported it in the dead of night.
He also raised the chicks in the mountains, in a place he had carefully selected.
The terrain there is flat, with many trees to cover it, and the entrance is winding, so few people can get in. The only bad thing is that it is a bit far away.
But for Ji Chenzhou, this is not a problem. On the contrary, it is more beneficial and safer for his farm.
Ji Chenzhou also built a wooden house there, and next to the house was a fenced yard for raising chickens.
Although he no longer has to go to the fields to earn work points, he doesn't have time to come and look after the chicks every day, so he found someone to help him look after them.
This person was a sixteen-year-old boy named Zhao Yuhe. Apart from him, there was only a grandfather and a weak sister in his family.
A sixteen-year-old boy should have been a young and strong labor force, but there were elderly, weak and sick people in his family, and their work points were not enough to pay for medical treatment, so their life was extremely difficult.
Ji Chenzhou had known them for many years and often sent them some food, so he felt at ease when he asked Zhao Yuhe to come over to look after them.
Ji Chenzhou only needs to bring him food every once in a while and pay him his wages every month.
However, Ji Chenzhou went hunting in the mountains a few days ago and hunted a wild boar and several wild boar cubs.
Ji Chenzhou also put the wild boar cubs here to raise them together.
As for the wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms, he took it and sold it on the black market.
However, the chicks were still too small. When Ji Chenzhou had time, he would catch pheasants in the mountains and raise them in his hidden farm.
He Xianqiu loves to eat rabbit meat, so Ji Chenzhou specially raised some wild rabbits.
So the variety of animals on his farm increased, including wild boars, rabbits and chickens.
Moreover, wild rabbits reproduce very quickly. After only Ji Chenzhou had raised them for a few days, the rabbits had already bred several litters.
The pheasant also laid dozens of eggs. Ji Chenzhou took half of them down the mountain and left the other half for Zhao Yuhe to eat.
However, the boy was reluctant to eat it himself, so he sent it down the mountain to his grandfather and sister.
Although he looks thin, Zhao Yuhe is the pillar of support for his family.
