Xu Niannian took into consideration that the soldiers could not use kitchen utensils to cook in the dormitory, so she waited until the cucumbers and tomatoes were ripe before she asked her employees to start picking them.

There were 100 people who came to help, and she picked 500 cucumbers and 500 tomatoes.

This is the first promised gift.

It's freezing cold, so people just eat them for the novelty of picking them. If you pick too many, you might get diarrhea and it would not be worth it.

When Lu Huaijin sent people to distribute the goods, everyone was very excited.

The prickly cucumbers and red tomatoes look fresh and juicy.

This is unique in the military.

Those in the same group who were not selected cried out in pity. If they had known earlier, they would have rushed to go too.

The brother who received the cucumbers and tomatoes noticed the eager eyes around him, so he picked up the cucumbers and started eating them directly. He could taste the sweetness of the cucumbers and the freshness of being freshly picked.

It’s amazing to think that this little thing was grown in a shed that I built myself.

When everyone returned to the dormitory carrying cloth bags in the evening, they were all so happy.

Zhang Liang, who was coming back with a basket of tomatoes and cucumbers, opened his mouth wide:

"Deputy Captain Zhang, how come you have so much more than us?"

Zhang Liang twisted his neck:

"How can it be the same? I am a family member, do you understand? I eat vegetables grown directly in my sister-in-law's yard!"

Everyone realized what was going on, and several other bachelors passing by lamented that they didn't chase after her and were intercepted first.

At the same time, the military wives were unhappy. Where are the vegetables that were promised to them? They haven’t eaten them yet!

We strongly request Xu Niannian to enable the paid grocery shopping function.

In the end, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative of the Family Compound could not withstand the pressure of people asking questions every day, and took the initiative to find Xu Niannian to discuss cooperation.

Fortunately, the cooperation negotiations went smoothly and Xu Niannian adjusted the price to a reasonable range, so they felt comfortable.

When the family compound supply and marketing cooperative first started selling vegetables, military wives rushed to grab them early in the morning:

"My husband insisted that the fried tomato and eggs in the cafeteria were delicious and asked me to buy a few more."

The military wife who ate it last time said:

"That vegetable is really delicious. We bought it once and it tasted better than what we eat in the summer. I don't know how they grow their tomatoes. They are sour and sweet. The tomatoes we grow in the summer are not as delicious as this."

"Can this be grown to taste better than in summer?"

But they couldn't continue chatting because the supply and marketing cooperative opened and everyone rushed there to grab food.

Those who didn't get the chance met the people who had said something sarcastic about Xu Niannian before, and they couldn't help but say a few words:

"Before, you said that people couldn't grow them, but now you're grabbing them more than anyone else. If you have the guts, give the vegetables to me."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the face of the military wife who was being talked about. If her husband hadn't insisted on eating this, she wouldn't have come here to embarrass herself!

Of course she wouldn't admit that she wanted to eat it too.

The news that the army's vegetable greenhouses had achieved results spread to the city as quickly as the wind. At first, the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city thought that they would contact them actively.

After all, sales now depend on supply and marketing cooperatives.

In the end, I waited and waited but nothing happened.

The reason is that the army had just started using this vegetable during this period, and the production in the greenhouse had not yet caught up, and everyone thought it was very fresh, so they all rushed to eat it.

Let’s give priority to the military first.

Secondly, the employees have been busy for so long and still haven’t received their pay.

After finishing the two orders, Xu Niannian could finally sit down and carefully check how much money the employees could be paid.

Everyone worked hard pulling weeds from the ground and taking care of the seedlings, it was very hard work.

When the day finally came for the payout, it would be a lie to say that everyone wasn't excited. This was especially true when they saw Xu Niannian clearly mark the prices and calculate how much work each person had done and how much money they would receive.

You have to know that they initially held the mentality that even if they couldn't succeed, it was better than sitting idle at home. Now they can actually get paid, who can not be happy.

Some of them can earn 25 a month, and some earn 20 a month.

Some people even cried with excitement on the spot.

Working here, you can also buy fresh vegetables at the internal employee price, although a maximum limit is set each month to prevent speculation.

But there is no problem buying food for the family.

Everyone is very happy because they can buy vegetables at the internal price that others are rushing to buy.

Moreover, this thing was a rare thing in that era. If you lived close to home, you would carry a basket of vegetables when you went home.

Almost half of the people in the village came to see it. It was a great honor for myself and my family.

Now that they can receive so much money, they instantly feel confident and can speak with confidence at home.

In the future I can say that I also have a job, and suddenly I found that my children are more obedient than before. It is not like I thought, that my children become disobedient because I have a job and have no time to accompany them.

The status of the family has also changed a bit.

After finishing all these, Xu Niannian took the samples to the largest state-owned restaurant in the city. She did not choose the supply and marketing cooperative because she felt that the service attitude of the supply and marketing cooperative was not good.

I have eaten in the state-owned restaurant several times, and the food is quite good. The chef must be a man of high standards.

The waiter who was knitting at the door heard someone coming in and looked up:

"It's not time for dinner yet. Come back in an hour."

"Hello, can I meet your chef?"

The waitress didn't even raise her head this time:

"You can meet our chef whenever you want..." Before she could finish her words, a fresh cucumber appeared in front of her, and her words were stuck in her throat.

She put down the sweater in her hand and reached out to take the cucumber:

"Did you bring this?"

By the way, I took a look at the basket that Xu Niannian brought. Wow, there were so many kinds of vegetables.

Recently, she also heard that a certain military region had grown greenhouse vegetables, which resulted in their restaurant being asked whether there were any fresh vegetables arriving in the past few days.

Before the purchasing director had the chance to contact him, this person showed up at the door.

Xu Niannian nodded:

"Yes, I'm the person in charge of greenhouse vegetables in the military area and I want to meet your chef."

As for why we went directly to the chef instead of the purchasing director.

Because good ingredients have a magical attraction to chefs, as long as the chef agrees, there will be no problem in entering this restaurant.

Nowadays, a good chef has to pass strict examinations and is popular wherever he goes, so he has a lot of say.

The waitress didn't dare to be negligent this time. The man looked about the same age as her and was actually the person in charge of the greenhouse in the military district.
