1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

After breakfast the next day, Han Xiuying felt a headache when she saw Chen Tiezhu sitting in the driver's seat of the jeep.

"What are you doing? Take care of mushrooms at home." Han Xiuying said.

"I have to press oil today, and I have to bring back some pig skin to cook." Chen Tiezhu said seriously.

"It takes a long time to press oil, so you have to go early. Otherwise, you don't know when it will take. Get in the car quickly, there is no time to explain."

"Hahaha, Brother Chen, good job." Han Zhenwen shouted happily.

Han Xiuying was helpless, but she had to go to work, and she couldn't really use Chen Tiezhu's home as an office.

Even with Ma Zhanhua's words yesterday, can she really do this?

I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with all the work. Now is a very critical period.

"Don't worry, I will definitely be as obedient as Doudou. Are you going home for lunch? I'll pick you up." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Don't go home, eat in the cafeteria, and drive honestly." Han Xiuying said angrily.

"Why are you angry? Be good, don't be angry. I'll pick you up in the evening, we have to eat braised meat." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Why are you so annoying? I should have driven away by myself if I had known." Han Xiuying said.

"Hehe, you must give me this opportunity to show my ability. Besides, I have important work to discuss with you today. It's not Chen Tiezhu and Yingzi, but Chen Tiezhu and Mayor Han." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Then what can't you talk about at home?" Han Xiuying glared at him.

"That's different. We have to distinguish between public and private. Right?" Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

Han Xiuying was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

When they arrived at the town government, they saw Han Xiuying and Chen Tiezhu getting out of the car together, and many people saluted.

"Hey, I know, you are the type of parachuted in. Your job is not easy to carry out. But don't worry, I'm here." Chen Tiezhu whispered.

"It's because of you that I'm upset." Han Xiuying said, but her tone was much gentler.

When walking in, many people took the initiative to greet Han Xiuying, and she responded politely.

Now Han Xiuying is no longer the Yingzi in Erdaoling Village, but the serious Deputy Mayor Han.

"I've seen it all, shouldn't you take Doudou to press oil and make pig skin?"

After visiting the office, Han Xiuying said.

"No, there is no secretary? You have to do everything yourself?" Chen Tiezhu asked curiously.

Han Xiuying rolled her eyes, "What level am I? I'm assigned a secretary. Can you please stop interfering? I really have something important to do today."

"I have it too." Chen Tiezhu sat across from her desk.

"Mayor Han, I'm actually in trouble now. Although the current mushroom cultivation has taken a solid first step, I can't live up to the expectations of the provincial leaders."

"So I'm thinking about how to carry out mass production on the basis of reducing costs. Only in this way can we ensure the vigorous development of my and Yingzi's mushroom cultivation industry and lead more people to achieve common prosperity."

Han Xiuying rolled her eyes, "Comrade Chen Tiezhu, then tell me what difficulties you are currently facing, and see if the town can coordinate."

"Really, the biggest difficulty at present is the storage of the culture medium." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Although I can save a lot of time to produce the culture medium at present, I can't keep it for so long. If I wait until the future mass production, it will definitely be too late."

"After all, my production method is a family workshop, and the labor efficiency is very low. See how I can help Comrade Chen Tiezhu in this regard?"

Han Xiuying frowned, thinking that Chen Tiezhu came here to talk nonsense, but now he is still talking about serious things.

"Then what do you think? Does Professor Xu have any suggestions?" Han Xiuying asked.

"You know that old Xu, he cares about how to grow mushrooms well. Do you expect him to be distracted by this?" Chen Tiezhu shrugged.

"What should I do? Only Professor Xu is the best in this area." Han Xiuying was also a little worried.

Originally, she was very optimistic about Chen Tiezhu's mushroom planting. Although he was not very good at it, he was willing to work.

Getting up in the middle of the night to turn the pile, and persisting for so many days in a row, is really rare.

But what Chen Tiezhu said now is also a real problem. If we can't mass-produce, how can we expand the scale of planting in the future? How can we let others make money?

"In fact, I was also in the dark at first, but..., eh? Why is my shoulder a little sore now?" Chen Tiezhu came suddenly

"You..., why are you so irritating?" Han Xiuying was helpless.

"I can't help it. My shoulder suddenly became sore. Mayor Han, what should I do?" Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile.

Han Xiuying gritted her teeth and told herself to bear it for the time being, for the rest of the people in the town.

She went behind Chen Tiezhu and used her elbow to hit his shoulder hard.

Even though Chen Tiezhu was in pain, she was happy in her heart.

Doudou, who was eating a banana on the side, took a look and said that it was nothing. This is all normal. Sister Yingzi just likes to play with her father like this.

"Is it time to say it?"

Han Xiuying returned to her chair after venting her anger.

"Actually, I'm just thinking about it. The key to this thing is still a production process." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"For example, my fermentation room is made of plastic sheeting, which will definitely not work, so we have to work on this."

"If we can build a fermentation room with a larger area that can ferment more culture media at one time, can we solve part of the problem?"

Han Xiuying frowned, this is indeed an idea.

"Another thing is the preservation of these fermented culture media. I thought about it earlier. Do you think we can simply press it and then wrap it with plastic film?" Chen Tiezhu continued.

"After wrapping it like this, it can play a certain protective role. It will not allow external bacteria to invade, and it can also keep the nutrients and activity of the culture medium for a longer time."

"However, there are too many things involved here. So, I think Mayor Han has to help consider and coordinate to see how to do it."

After speaking, Chen Tiezhu looked at Han Xiuying with a smile.

This is the method he spent most of the night thinking about to help Han Xiuying break the ice.

If you want to gain a foothold in the town, you can't just rely on your background, you have to show real achievements.

What he just said is achievements, and they are very easy to achieve.

As smart as Han Xiuying is, she can hear it.

Now looking at Chen Tiezhu, her mood becomes very complicated, and her eyes become complicated...
