1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"This guy, it's just a coincidence? You all have time?" Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"Hahahaha, I know you're going home today, so even if you don't have time, you have to make time. Is there any work? Let's help." Director Hu said happily.

"There's nothing to do for now, and today's dishes are very simple. I'll just cut the meat out later." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Tiezhu, are these the vegetables in your greenhouse? They look really fresh." Gao Xiaoguang asked.

"Yeah, Doudou and I just picked them back, and today is a good time to taste them." Chen Tiezhu said.

"But let's make a deal first, today we'll talk about food and drink, not work. On a happy day, eating and drinking is the most important thing."

"Tiezhu, we can't not talk about work. You've prepared so many ingredients this time, and Xiao Zhou and I have finished, and we've sent all the comrades out." Director Hu said.

"In fact, we are only responsible for domestic transportation, which is quite easy to handle. The difficult route is the section to Kunming. We have also contacted the trucks and airlines."

"There are indeed a lot of materials this time. Before we came back, we took out our working capital and used the rest to buy materials." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Tiezhu, tell me, did you make a lot of money this time?" Li Yinglin asked hurriedly.

Chen Tiezhu smiled and nodded, "I did make a lot of money. The public auction over there is actually gambling on stones. With the word 'gambling', there are wins and losses."

"But as I said, more of it is still on the goods. This is how business is. Many times, you can't see the money at all, and it's all on the goods."

"In this case, the return of funds will be slower. At that time, we have to prepare funds for the next round of public auctions. It will take more than two or three years to really develop."

Everyone nodded, and that was what he said.

That's jade, not cabbage. You can sell it if you get the ones that are close to the market.

"Is this a big publicity for our county?" Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile.

"Didn't you say not to talk about official business?" Gao Xiaoguang asked cheerfully.

Chen Tiezhu rolled his eyes, "How difficult is it for you guys not to talk about official business?"

"It's indeed a big publicity. Many places have contacted us and plan to come to our county for inspection." Gao Xiaoguang said.

"One is the machinery factory in the county, the other is your town, and the other is your village. It can be said that you are really at the forefront now."

"But even if it has a big publicity effect on the county, it has no actual help at present. The funds in the county are still very tight, and we have to take it slowly."

"That's for sure. This is a process. But with this publicity, more people will focus on our county, and it will definitely have a certain promoting effect on future investment attraction." Chen Tiezhu said.

"It's almost time. I'll stew the beans, and then we can continue chatting. Today's beans must be very fragrant. Doudou, right?"

"Yeah, it's fragrant with meat." The little girl looked at the meat cut by Chen Tiezhu and nodded happily.

"Doudou hasn't eaten enough meat yet?" Li Yinglin asked her teasingly.

"Yeah, the meat is fragrant." The little girl said.

This is her belief. She must have a good meal of meat cooked at home today.

It can also be said that there is strength in numbers. Chen Tiezhu will have less worries when he arranges dinner today.

After the beans are stewed, cover them with the rolled pancakes, and the job is done.

As for cutting potato shreds, peppers, and cucumbers, he doesn't need to worry about them. He only needs to be responsible for the final process.

"By the way, Tiezhu, when can your potatoes be eaten?"

Li Yinglin asked.

"We have to wait for that, too. Although the film is covered, it doesn't grow that fast. But it's definitely earlier than other people's normal planting." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Just wait for the potatoes to come down. No vegetable can compare to boiled potatoes. We have to wait a few more days for the eggplants. Now they are all small eggplants. They have to grow for another four or five days."

"Anyway, my family doesn't have to worry about vegetables now. When the vegetables in the greenhouse grow a little bigger, we can share them with the villagers in the village and taste them properly."

"Now look, your life is really beautiful." Director Hu sighed.

"Hehe, it's also because you are making money, so you have such a little confidence." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"No matter what, this year is still a critical year. Although reform and opening up were promoted earlier, our actions were relatively late. By the way, leaders, how is our inspection team doing?"

"Hahaha, I was wondering when you can ask." Gao Xiaoguang laughed.

"The inspection was very successful. We just came back the day before yesterday. The night market was already busy yesterday. Although it was the first day, there were many people going there."

"I heard from our comrades that this stuff is really too cheap there. The sunglasses that sell for several yuan are less than one yuan when we buy them."

"That's what, these things are all made of glass, and they are easy to break during transportation. That doesn't matter, as long as they are not all broken."

"And the hairpins and so on are very cheap, and there are many styles. I stayed at the night market for half a day yesterday, and the more I looked, the happier I was."

"But it's really good, and it can be regarded as finding a new way for the residents of our county." Chen Tiezhu nodded.

"But there is one thing I don't understand. Why are they so cheap when they produce this stuff? If we build a factory here, will it be okay?" Gao Xiaoguang asked.

"We should be more cautious about this matter." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Just tell me, if the factory is built, how many people will come to our side to buy? If no one buys, no matter how cheap the things are, we will still lose money."

"They have formed a scale and popularity there. When people want to buy, the first thing they think of is to go there. So, don't think about it for the time being. It's still okay to start with cash crops."

"But my personal advice is not to give any guiding opinions. If you can make money, everyone will be happy. What if you lose money? Even if you don't make money, you will be scolded."

"This is how it is in our village. I support everyone in whatever they want to do. It's everyone's own choice. Even if there is a problem, no one can blame anyone else. ”

Everyone nodded again after hearing this. This is the effect of scale.

Just like a restaurant, people are not afraid of crowds. They just love to eat at such places. Even if there is no room in this restaurant, they can still choose another one, right?
