Another way was to sign contracts with the commune or factory canteens, securing orders before other teams even started producing bean sprouts.
The captain kept twirling the pen in his hand, thinking for a long time before finally making up his mind.
"Okay! I'll take the bean sprouts from home and your accountant uncle to the commune another day, at least to talk to the commune leader and see what he says."
If the leaders agree to let us do this side business, I'll explain how hard we've worked, and then send them some bean sprouts to try. Maybe I can use that as an opportunity to get them into their cafeteria. If I can, then everything will be much easier..."
Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian were quite surprised that the captain had such a brain, so neither of them tried to stop him and let him do as he pleased.
"Yes, Captain, we'll do it your way. Once our bean sprouts can get into the commune canteen, other canteens will probably come running as soon as they smell them."
"That's right, that's exactly the point. We'll see then..."
----------------
The two were summoned by the brigade leader early in the morning, but when they were finally released, wisps of smoke rose from the rooftops of many houses, indicating that they were preparing lunch.
The entire village was covered in snow, creating an exceptionally tranquil beauty. For a moment, they were both captivated by the scene.
"Okay, okay, you're saying that bean sprout side business is a good idea, right? Our team will have many more side businesses in the future, and everyone's lives will get better and better, won't they?"
Zhu Qinghao wasn't entirely sure either, but at the moment, she couldn't bring herself to say anything that would spoil the mood.
"Of course it will. The team has leaders like the brigade leader, kind and lovely villagers, and educated youth like our Tian Tian who think of everyone. It will definitely get better and better."
"Oh dear, you're making fun of me, you're so mean!"
"Hey—I was clearly praising you, and you don't appreciate it!"
"..."
The two laughed and joked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of the educated youth settlement, which was the only way they could go home.
Upon arriving at their destination, the two tacitly stopped their loud playful fighting, wanting only to walk over there peacefully.
It's not that I'm afraid of anything, I just want to pass by there peacefully and don't want to get entangled with them again.
However, the world is sometimes so dramatic; the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen to you.
Just as the two were about to pass safely through the entrance of the educated youth settlement, they ran into Zhu Pandi, the big-mouthed girl, coming out from inside.
"Hey? What are you two doing here? And you didn't say a word. Are you here to steal something?"
Last time, Zhu Pandi tried to steal from Zhu Qinghao's house but failed, so he always held a grudge and wanted to go again. However, Shi Qiang just didn't have the guts.
Because he always felt that the injuries the two of them had when they came back last time were very strange, he thought that he had tried to possess something unclean, and he refused to go to Zhu Qinghao's place again.
Zhu Pandi himself certainly didn't dare to go, but he couldn't do anything about Shi Qiang, so he felt frustrated.
Now, the mere sight of the two of them inexplicably ignited a surge of anger within Zhu Pandi, causing her to begin speaking sarcastically before she even had a chance to react.
Zhu Qinghao simply didn't want to deal with them, which didn't mean she was afraid of trouble.
So the instant she heard Zhu Pandi utter a complete sentence, she strode over and slapped that annoying face hard across the face.
