Under Lin Yue's leadership, the village is like a giant ship sailing through the ocean of commerce, embarking on a journey of diversified development. Improved healthcare and the support of families provide a strong foundation for growth. The promising field of agricultural product processing awaits the villagers' exploration, where they can uncover its hidden wealth.
At dawn, sunlight filtered through thin clouds, illuminating every inch of the village and the fields that held so much hope. Lin Yue stood on the edge of the field, gazing at the soon-to-be-harvested crops, her heart filled with anticipation for agricultural processing. These crops were the village's source of wealth, and she knew that if they could be processed into more valuable products, the villagers' lives would experience a qualitative leap. A gentle breeze rustled through the crops, making them sway as if whispering to her of the joy of harvest and the unknown possibilities ahead.
Lin Yue convened a discussion meeting in the village committee courtyard, gathering villagers interested in agricultural product processing. The courtyard was filled with men, women, and children, their eyes reflecting both curiosity about new ideas and anxieties about the future. Lin Yue stood before the crowd, her gaze firm and bright. She cleared her throat and began to speak: "Fellow villagers," she said, "our village's agricultural products have always been quite good, but simply selling raw materials yields limited profits. We need to process these agricultural products into something more valuable so that everyone can earn more money."
An elderly villager frowned and asked, "Lin Yue, this processing isn't easy. We don't know anything about it, can we do it?" Lin Yue smiled and replied, "Grandpa, there will definitely be difficulties at first, but we can learn. We'll start with simple processing and take it one step at a time." The villagers nodded in agreement. Although they still had some doubts, they were all willing to give it a try.
After the meeting, Lin Yue led several young and strong villagers to the village warehouse. The warehouse was filled with newly harvested crops, and the air was filled with the unique aroma of produce. Lin Yue picked up a plump fruit, examined it carefully, and said to the villagers around her, "Look, this fruit is of very good quality. We can consider processing it into jam or dried fruit." A villager named A-Qiang came over, scratched his head, and said, "Sister Lin Yue, how do you make jam and dried fruit? I've only eaten them, never made them." Lin Yue smiled and said, "We can find some information first, look at the methods, and then try making them."
So, everyone started searching for information separately. Lin Yue returned home, sat at her desk, and began reading books on agricultural product processing that she had borrowed from the town library. Her eyes were focused, sometimes furrowing her brow in thought, sometimes jotting down important information in her notebook. "Making jam requires attention to the sugar ratio and the cooking time; these cannot be taken lightly," she muttered to herself, her mind filled with anticipation as she envisioned the jam's immense popularity in the market.
Meanwhile, A-Qiang and several villagers were searching for information online in the village's cultural activity room. Looking at the various processing tutorials on the computer screen, A-Qiang excitedly said to everyone, "Look, here's how to make dried fruit. It doesn't seem difficult, but it requires a dry environment." One villager smiled and said, "We can use the empty houses in the village to turn into a simple drying room!" Everyone discussed it amongst themselves, their enthusiasm for agricultural product processing growing stronger.
After several days of preparation, Lin Yue and the villagers decided to try making jam. They gathered in the village's small kitchen and, following the instructions, prepared the fruit, sugar, lemon juice, and other ingredients. Lin Yue stood in front of the stove, directing everyone: "First, we'll wash the fruit, remove the pits, and then cut it into small pieces." The villagers got to work, and the kitchen was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
Xiaofang was a skillful girl. She carefully cut the fruit, saying as she did so, "Sister Lin Yue, I think we can try adding some local spices from the village. Maybe we can make a uniquely flavored jam." Lin Yue's eyes lit up. "Xiaofang, that's a fantastic idea! We can try it." During the process, Lin Yue constantly adjusted the recipe, experimenting with different proportions. As the jam slowly simmered in the pot, a sweet aroma filled the kitchen.
However, the first attempt didn't go so smoothly. Due to poor heat control, some of the jam burned. Lin Yue looked at the jam in the pot, somewhat frustrated, but she quickly rallied and said to everyone, "It's okay, this is our first time making it, it's normal to have problems. We'll learn from this experience and definitely do better next time." The villagers weren't discouraged either; they analyzed the reasons together and prepared to try again.
Lin Yue was extra careful when making the jam for the second time. She personally stood by the stove, carefully controlling the heat. When the jam was cooked to perfection, a satisfied smile appeared on her face. "Look everyone, this jam looks great!" Lin Yue said excitedly. The villagers gathered around, and seeing the tempting color and fragrant aroma of the jam, they all smiled happily.
After successfully making the jam, Lin Yue and the villagers began trying to make dried fruit. They set up simple drying racks in an empty house in the village and evenly arranged the sliced fruit on them. Lin Yue would come every day to check on the drying process, carefully turning the dried fruit and observing its changes. "If these dried fruits are done well, they will definitely be very popular," she said to the villagers who were helping her, her eyes full of anticipation.
The process of making processed agricultural products has also brought the villagers closer together. They work together, share experiences, and encourage each other when they encounter difficulties. The village elders also come to help; although they are old, they have a wealth of life experience. An elderly woman, watching the villagers making dried fruit, smiled and said, "Children, you're doing a great job. We used to dry some fruit ourselves, but we weren't as meticulous as you are. You'll definitely make something delicious."
