Section Chief Xu's heart was pounding.
Looking embarrassed, he approached Jiang Tiecheng.
"Xiao Jiang, this..."
It's inevitable that a section chief like him could skim some profits.
Jiang Tiecheng smiled; this kind of thing is very common.
As the saying goes, "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish."
Besides, this matter is not something that a mere educated youth like him should be in charge of.
But then it suddenly dawned on me that I remembered Huang Youqing, who was pale and unconscious.
For a young intellectual to gain a foothold in the Red Flag Brigade, relying solely on the functions of his single control panel was insufficient.
After all, there are several hundred villagers in the village.
He's going to live here for 20 years.
To live well here, and even to avoid injury during sports later on, one must have big, thick legs.
The local villagers are their biggest protector.
However, relying on his own nonsense and fabricated stories about being able to predict the future was clearly not enough to earn him prestige among the villagers.
People still need something practical.
People are starving to death, who cares if you can pinch or calculate?
His keen business sense from his past life immediately detected an opportunity in this matter.
"Section Chief Xu, it turns out our supply and marketing cooperative takes on clothing orders. Can villages take on these kinds of orders?"
When Xu Fengtian heard that Jiang Tiecheng hadn't bothered with what had just happened to him, but instead asked this question, he was shocked.
Suddenly it dawned on me that their Red Flag Brigade had never received any orders.
The main reason is that Huang Youqing left, and it was Old Zhang's connections.
Old Zhang is the deputy section chief, but he and I don't get along.
Therefore, Xu Fengtian has never given the Red Flag Brigade a friendly look over the years.
"That's right. Every year, we undertake this kind of garment processing for garment factories in the city and province, as well as military units and various factories and schools."
Only qualified villages can take on this job.
Xu Fengtian immediately changed his tone, not wanting it to seem too easy, even though it was just a matter of a word from him.
This matter must appear particularly difficult to Jiang Tiecheng.
He couldn't figure out the relationship between Jiang Tiecheng and the Red Flag Brigade.
"Section Chief Xu, if you have the chance, could you perhaps send some of these orders to our village as well?"
Xu Fengtian was overjoyed. He had been worried about not finding an opportunity to win Jiang Tiecheng's favor, but unexpectedly, Jiang Tiecheng brought it up himself.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, don't worry. Since you, Comrade Xiao Jiang, have asked, I'll have to find a way to get it out for you."
"Leave this to me. You wait here, I'll find a way to get two production brigades to cancel their applications and squeeze that spot out for your Red Flag Brigade."
Jiang Tiecheng immediately understood that Xu Fengtian was trying to curry favor with him.
He immediately realized that Xu Fengtian was genuinely benefiting from him, which was why he was working so hard.
"Section Chief Xu, let's have a good talk when you have time."
These were exactly the words Xu Fengtian wanted to hear, and he immediately nodded excitedly.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, don't worry, I'll go to your Red Flag Brigade tomorrow."
By the way, Comrade Xiao Jiang, what do you want to buy?
Give me the form, and I'll take care of it for you.
This time, Jiang Tiecheng didn't hold back and directly repeated what he wanted.
Xu Fengtian immediately went out.
In no time, he returned with a large bag of things: candle kerosene, noodles, and laundry soap that Jiang Tiecheng had requested.
In addition, Xu Fengtian prepared 50 jin of wheat flour, 50 jin of cornmeal, 30 jin of rice, as well as cabbage, vermicelli, tofu, and even 5 jin of pork belly.
These are all in-demand items these days; you absolutely can't buy them outside.
Everything was packed into a large basket, with the grain placed at the bottom to prevent people from seeing it.
It was covered with a piece of cotton cloth, so no one could see what was in the basket.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang is a little nervous today, mainly because everyone is rushing to buy things today, so there are too many people."
"Wait until tomorrow! I'll definitely bring you more when I go tomorrow."
Jiang Tiecheng slung his basket over his shoulder and said with a smile,
"Section Chief Xu, I've already gotten so much stuff thanks to you."
I won't stand on ceremony with you. Don't bring anything to my place tomorrow. Let's have a good talk; some things need to be discussed thoroughly.
Xu Fengtian said with a smile,
"Don't be so polite with me! Come on, let me take you there!"
Jiang Tiecheng hurriedly shook his head.
"That won't do!"
Xu Fengtian followed.
"No, I'll take you there. From now on, you should treat me like an older brother."
Don't always be so polite with me.
If you have any difficulties, just tell Brother Xu directly. Don't act like an outsider next time.
Deep down, I consider you like a brother.
The two of them chatted casually as they walked to the carriage outside the county town.
Huang Youqing, who was still dizzy from lying there, hurriedly sat up when he heard the voices, and almost fainted the moment he sat up.
If Jiang Tiecheng hadn't run up and caught him, Huang Youqing would have fallen headfirst under the carriage.
"Captain, how are you? Why didn't you eat the porn I gave you?"
Huang Youqing wanted to say something more.
When he looked up, he was startled to see Xu Fengtian.
Despite trying every possible method, Section Chief Xu was unable to get the other party to give him a friendly look.
Now, Section Chief Xu is actually standing right in front of me.
This Section Chief Xu is nicknamed "Xu the God of Wealth," not because his family is rich, but because he is the section chief of the supply and marketing cooperative.
He was in charge of the county's supplies and even orders from the province and city were all handled by this Section Chief Xu.
As long as Section Chief Xu just utters a few words, that production brigade can live a life of luxury. They might not be full and satisfied, but they'll certainly be better off than the rest of the brigade.
This is a big shot I've tried every possible way to curry favor with, and he's standing right here.
He tried to stand up, but Section Chief Xu waved his hand instead.
"Oh dear, Captain Huang, you're not in good health. You look so pale."
"Section Chief Xu, it's not because we don't have enough food at home. We only eat one meal a day now."
That meal was barely enough to fill me up. I was so hungry and weak, how could I not feel dizzy?
"Section Chief Xu, do you see any orders in our county that we can share with our production team?"
Even processing just a few dozen pieces of clothing allows villagers to earn some extra money.
That should be enough to buy at least a few kilograms of grain.
Huang Youqing knew that what he said would annoy people, but he had no choice, as the whole village was suffering from famine.
If he, as the production team leader, doesn't stick to his position shamelessly, who else can take the job?
"Alright, Captain Huang, your village is in trouble."
Xiao Jiang has already told me that he even specifically requested garment processing orders for your village.
"Don't say anything more. I've already promised Xiao Jiang that I'll have the fabric ready for you in a couple of days. Then, as the team leader, you'll bring the men over to collect the fabric."
These words were like a pie falling from the sky and hitting you on the head.
Huang Youqing almost fainted again.
