Getting on track
However, whether we can always maintain this original intention will take time to answer.
Seeing the leader's car driving away, Hu Yufeng and Qin Wenli put down their waving arms and turned to walk inside.
Most of the customers in the yard have left, and those who remain are close friends who are now helping the employees pack up the stall.
Many people came today, and the yard was a mess with debris from fireworks mixed with scraps of paper. Yang Li was sweeping the yard seriously with a broom, and next to him was Yang Xu, who was holding a dustpan and shovel.
Qin Wenli saw his father-in-law lifting a table and hurried over to help.
Hu Yufeng was not idle either. Everyone was helping her family, so how could she, as the head of the family, just stand by and watch?
When many hands make light work, the yard soon returned to its previous cleanliness and tidiness.
After sitting down and drinking some water, everyone said goodbye one after another.
Hu Yufeng was unable to persuade them to stay, so she gave each family a gift prepared by Yang Xiu.
In the blink of an eye, only the workers were left in the huge factory. Hu Yufeng moved her sore calves and couldn't help but let out a breath.
Qin Wenli handed a glass of water to his mother and asked for instructions on the next arrangements.
"That's all for today. We've been busy lately. Let's all go back and have a good rest today..."
The big things are coming from tomorrow onwards, and you need to get enough rest before you can let go and work hard.
Qin Wenli also understood this logic, so he followed Hu Yufeng's instructions and let her, Yang Jian and Hu Dajiu stay in the factory while he took the others home.
It’s almost October and the weather in Northwest China has already turned cooler. The tricycle was driving on the national highway. The bleak autumn wind blew, and the half-yellow leaves were spinning in the wind. Several people on the tricycle couldn't help but tighten their clothes. The autumn air was really chilly.
The wind was cold and bleak, but Qin Shengtian's heart was extremely warm.
He had never realized as deeply as he did today that things had changed in this family.
They are no longer the poor family that made him starve to death in his dreams, and he doesn't have to risk his life for a piece of bread anymore. Oh, he is really rich!
Can he apply for a monthly salary increase next month?
There was a spicy slice in the brigade store that sold very quickly, but it was too expensive, only two dollars and forty dollars a bag. He usually can only buy one piece at a time. Will he be able to buy a bag next month?
In the food factory, Hu Yufeng sneezed, turned over, got up, and went around the entire factory.
Alas, she is destined to be a hard worker.
Before three o'clock, the team leader of the operation room came to report that all the noodles for the day had been fried.
Hu Yufeng happily took her vacation.
Today's opening ceremony went so smoothly, thanks to the hard work of the workers. She might as well go back early so she can take a nap.
…
After half a month, all the workers had become proficient in the work and the factory was bustling with activity.
Another thought popped into Hu Yufeng's mind.
The next day, Hu Yufeng called Qin Wenli, Huizi and Yang Jian, and she planned to hold a brief meeting. Now that everything is on track, it's time to plan the next step.
When they heard the factory director say that they wanted to hold a short meeting, the three of them quickly restrained their expressions and sat opposite each other.
Hu Yufeng sorted out her thoughts and said, "After half a month, the situation in our factory has stabilized. It's time to plan the next step."
As she spoke, she tapped the notebook in her hand: "I have three opinions. Let's discuss them..."
"First, in terms of cargo transportation, we only have one person and one vehicle. As you have all discovered, the current supply is far from meeting the market demand, so I am thinking of buying another transport vehicle, and Wenli will handle this matter. Second, in terms of raw material reserves, Xiu'er said the other day that she found that different types of flour also affect the taste of fried dough twists. I didn't understand it before, but now that I have discovered it, I am thinking that we can either rent land and grow it ourselves, or discuss with the village to use our wheat seeds, and the factory will purchase them in bulk. Third, it is market expansion, which is also the top priority at present. Production alone is not enough, we have to sell it. Wenli and I will be responsible for this matter. Wenli, you choose the area, and we will go to the market together. What do you think?"
After Hu Yufeng finished speaking, she looked at the three people. Seeing her eyes looking at him, Qin Wenli said, "Mom, I agree with your arrangement. As for the car, should we buy a van or a tricycle?"
Hu Yufeng was stunned, and she felt a little tempted when she recalled the small vans with company names written on them that she had seen on the road.
After a moment of contemplation, he said, "You should ask about the price first..."
What does it matter whether she likes it or not? In the end, money still has to matter!
Qin Wenli understood what was going on, so he nodded and said nothing more.
Yang Jian lowered his head, already calculating whether he had enough money in his pocket to enroll in a driving school.
Sooner or later the factory will have to buy trucks and set up a transportation team. If he wants to get ahead, he can't just rely on hard work, he also has to master a solid skill as soon as possible.
When Hu Yufeng asked him, he answered truthfully and indeed received an appreciative look from the factory director.
She secretly sighed in her heart, wondering why everyone in the Yang family is so successful, unlike her Hu family, where they can't even find a single outstanding louse!
Huizi had no objection at all. She couldn't help with any of these three things, so she would help her godmother guard the rear so that they would have no worries while fighting in the front.
Seeing everyone working together, Hu Yufeng was suddenly moved. Although they are still a small start-up factory, as long as everyone works together and puts their efforts in the same direction, there is no need to worry about not being successful.
…
After the meeting, Qin Wenli thought for a while and decided to call Qin Wenping, who he thought was omnipotent.
After hearing the purpose of the visit, Qin Wenping readily agreed to help with the advisory work.
"You deliver goods mostly on mountain roads, and tricycles can't protect you from wind or rain, so it's better to buy a van. But it's not worth buying a brand new one, so a second-hand van that I know well will suffice."
Qin Wenli also understood this principle, but he was stuck on knowing everything about the person.
The people he knew well were all poorer than him, and many of them had never even touched the back of a car.
Qin Wenping laughed and said cheerfully: "I have a brother who deals in used cars. I asked him to keep an eye out for it, but whether this will succeed depends entirely on fate..."
Qin Wenli nodded. It was great to have this connection. What else could he complain about?
After hanging up the phone, he thought about it and went to ask Hu Yufeng for instructions. The conversation with fourth brother turned to used cars, but he was not the one who could make the decision, so he had to ask mother for advice.
Hu Yufeng nodded in agreement. Her family still had a loan, so she wanted to save as much as possible. A second-hand car would be fine as long as it worked.
There is no rush for the car, but the matter of food needs to be communicated to Murakami as soon as possible.
That day, Hu Yufeng and Qin Wenli rushed to the village committee to find Secretary Gou.
"Hey, what wind brings back our Director Hu?" Secretary Gou joked.
Hu Yufeng smiled and said, "Please stop laughing at me. I am in your hands. Don't you think I should be under the control of our village all the time?"
The two of them exchanged a few words and laughed, then sat down.
As usual, they chatted about Murakami's recent situation, and Qin Wenli then explained the purpose of his visit.
Secretary Gou's expression gradually became serious, and his brain started to work.
By the time Qin Wenli finished speaking, a preliminary idea had already formed in his mind.
"Lao Hu, Wenli, thank you for thinking of our village and our fellow villagers. This is a good thing, isn't it just unifying the wheat seeds? Don't worry, it's not a big deal, leave it to me!"
After all, he is a politician and has a lot of ideas in his mind. In just a short while, several benefits of standardizing wheat varieties have popped up in his mind.
First, the Qin family purchased the grain in a unified manner, and the people could exchange grain for money without leaving their homes. As long as the Qin family's business did not fail, the income of the people in their village would always be guaranteed. When one is secure, he will feel at ease. When one feels at ease, he will cause less trouble and his mind will be more relaxed.
Secondly, he can put up a sign in the village that reads “New Variety Promotion Demonstration Point”, wouldn’t that create a point for economic observation?
Third, the people have become rich, and the town has left a name for itself. So, isn’t it not far from him becoming famous in Shangguan Town?
Oh, the Qin family is indeed his lucky star.
What should we do with this lucky star? Of course I give him whatever he wants!
So what Hu Yufeng and Qin Wenli had originally thought to be a difficult task was solved by Lao Gou in just a few words, and the mother and daughter were a little confused for a moment.
They had left the whole morning to do it, and it was done in less than half an hour, so the mother and daughter decided to go back to their hometown to have a look.
Since the opening day, Hu Yufeng has not been home for half a month. If it were in the past, Qin Shengtian would have gone crazy and made a fuss, but now there is no movement at all, and Hu Yufeng is not used to it.
When the two arrived home, the house was quiet, only the big white dog jumped three feet high, howling to greet its long-lost master.
When I pushed open the gate, the yard was silent, even from the old lady's side.
Hu Yufeng suddenly felt a little uneasy.
The two of them ran straight to the old courtyard after passing the gate. Fortunately, there were three or two voices whispering here.
As soon as they reached the window of the operating room, someone saw what was happening and immediately lowered his voice and nudged Miao Fang's arm.
Miao Fang looked up and shouted in surprise: "Sister-in-law? You're back!"
…
Hu Yufeng has been gone for nearly half a month. I used to not notice it when I saw her every day, but now I miss her a lot.
Especially since she was promoted to team leader, she naturally worked diligently. However, her excellent performance was not noticed by her leader, which made her feel lonely.
Several people in the room also greeted her as "Auntie".
At this time, Qin Shengtian also rushed over from behind and asked in surprise: "Wenli, why are you two back at this time?"
You have such a big factory to manage at home, why do you run back home so early in the morning?
Hu Yufeng greeted everyone, then turned to look at Qin Shengtian: "Where have you been? Why didn't you leave anyone at home?"
Qin Shengtian chuckled: "What can I do? I'm just making fried dough twists in the warehouse."
There was an attitude of seeking praise in his words.
Hu Yufeng followed him to the warehouse. Well, except for him, the old lady and Qin Ling were all there. They were fully armed, wearing white hats and rubber gloves, and were gathering around the table to pack fried dough twists into bags.
"I thought I had nothing to do recently, so I took over the bagging job. This way, the women can have more time to fry more, and we can make more money..."
Qin Shengtian subconsciously wanted to scratch his head, but when he raised his hand, he saw the gloves on his hand paused and grinned.
Hu Yufeng's eyes swept across the faces of several people. Looking at their slightly uneasy expressions, a smile slowly blossomed on her stern face.
