Zhao Cheng's concerns are justified. Hazel mushrooms are typically harvested from late July to late August, and now that time has passed, there's no way to place additional orders even if there are existing ones.
Fortunately, Zhu Qinghao had thought of this problem early on, so she told many of the aunties and older women in the village that she wanted to buy hazel mushrooms and asked them to pick more when they had time.
Her initial thought was that if the order came through, all would be well; if not, she would just buy the hazel mushrooms herself, since she liked them anyway.
In addition, she has space inside so that the food won't spoil no matter how long it's stored. Maybe she can store more so that she can have a meal with it from time to time after she leaves this place.
"The hazel mushrooms should be fine. I asked several aunties to help me pick them, and the feedback they gave was that they picked quite a lot. Sweetie and I also picked quite a lot ourselves, and with the help of the other people in the team, it should be enough."
As for other mountain products, that's even easier to handle. We already have the orders, and when the team leader announces it, everyone will do their best to fulfill them.
However, with more people, the quality will inevitably vary. We might need to discuss this with the team leader and explain to the members that we also check the quality when accepting goods; anything too poor quality cannot be accepted.
Upon hearing Zhu Qinghao's words, Zhao Cheng immediately understood. Since the captain was there, he could just use him; there was no need to try communicating with the team members himself.
Then, he nodded thoughtfully:
"That works too. If we don't have enough high-quality, up-to-standard items, we might consider getting some from the neighboring brigade."
However, this needs to be discussed with the captain; if the movement is too large, it might easily cause problems.
Seeing that he understood, Zhu Qinghao didn't say anything more.
Anyway, it's all his and the brigade cadres' business. She doesn't know much about it, so it's best not to interfere.
After finishing her story, she played with the children for a while, and after seeing that they were both drowsy, Sheng Yi took her home.
On the day the autumn harvest ended, the brigade leader gathered everyone in the team at the threshing ground early in the morning and announced the good news that had been kept secret for a long time with a happy face.
"Fellow villagers, do you all know why we've gathered here today? Why don't you take a guess?"
The busy autumn harvest is finally coming to an end, and the team's harvest is quite good, so everyone is in a particularly good mood and is helping the team leader guess.
"I guess the autumn harvest is almost over, so we won't have to work from dawn till dusk tomorrow and can finally take a breather!"
"I guess it's because our team had a good harvest this year and received praise from the commune, or maybe we can exchange our work points for more money!"
These two arguments were widely accepted, but some people also began to offer their rebuttals:
"Hey~ Your guesses are so lame. Something that can make the captain so happy must be something big!"
The one who said this was Luo Dahan, who had gone with Wang Ergou to clear snow for the tractor that was transporting bean sprouts.
After he said that, everyone felt that there was some truth to it, and they all started asking him questions:
"Big Han, tell me, what could make the brigade leader so happy? Isn't a good harvest and the commune's praise enough to make him happy?"
Feeling everyone's attention on him, Luo Dahan's already honest face flushed red, but he didn't get stage fright.
"A good harvest and praise from the commune would certainly make the brigade leader happy, but not to this extent."
If you ask me, anything that can make the brigade leader this happy must bring real benefits to all of us.
