1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

The bus convoy set off, and Chen Tiezhu returned to the village with reluctance.

The atmosphere in the village was also very tense today, because today was also a big day for everyone.

"Professor Xu, have you explained the techniques of cutting mushrooms in detail?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"I have finished. It is not that difficult. It is just that everyone is a little nervous." Professor Xu said with a smile.

"I can't help but be nervous. This time we are really going to see money." He Jianguo said with emotion.

"In previous years, we had to wait until the autumn harvest to see a few dollars. After paying the public grain, the remaining is the harvest of the year."

"Right now, the fields have not been officially planted yet, and mushrooms can be sold for money. In the past, who dared to think about it? We can't ignore it."

"In the future, I will ask the machinery factory to make a plow that can be hung behind the small four-wheeler. It is fixed when planting, and the small four-wheeler can plow the land out when it is started." Chen Tiezhu said.

"But it's also because the horsepower of the small four-wheeled vehicle is limited, and it can only plow four ridges at most at a time. Anyway, it's better than using animals to pull it, and it will be easier to farm when the time comes."

"After I finish the land I rented, I will help the people in our village to plow the land. Those who are in a hurry can plant it first, and those who are not in a hurry can wait for us to finish it."

"What's the hurry? It won't take a few days to farm." He Jianguo said with a smile.

"But there is not much land in our village. After the mushrooms are grown, there will be nothing to do. Anyway, we can hurry up and whoever can catch up will own it."

"That's it for this year. I'm also a hunchback who lives in the mountains, and money is very tight. Next year, I will buy a seed drill and other things, and then we can realize mechanized planting." Chen Tiezhu said.

"In fact, this is also a direction for the future development of agriculture. It can save more labor to do other work and earn more money."

"Don't be nervous about cutting mushrooms today. It's just a little tedious. After all, they are weighed with the skin, so the weight of the wooden baskets must be calculated in advance."

"Tiezhu, it's not necessary, right? We can just weigh some baskets and get a rough estimate of the weight, right? The difference is no more than three pounds. There are so many mushrooms, and no one can afford such a small amount." Hu Yadong said.

"Uncle Dong, if this happens once or twice, we can do it this way. We have to keep growing in the future. If the difference is three or two pounds once, the difference will be a lot of money if it happens eight or ten times." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"So, even if it's a little complicated, we have to weigh it accurately for everyone. I've already made money from selling mushrooms, and the price difference already includes shipping costs and losses, so we have to be fair and just."

"You have a really good brain. But sometimes you're stubborn." Hu Yadong said helplessly.

"It won't work otherwise. It's not easy for everyone to make money through hard work, and I can't take advantage of them." Chen Tiezhu said.

"To be honest, when I do things for the villagers, I sometimes feel very embarrassed. I always want everyone to spend the least money and do the best things."

"I make a lot of money, and the villagers rely on this little income. So we have to be stricter and make it clear, so that we can do things better in the future."

"By the way, have you gone to the mountain temple to check it out? The materials there will be calculated in advance, and they will be purchased together with my house, and we can build it together when the time comes."

"Yeah, I checked it out and made a rough estimate. Anyway, it will take at least ten days or half a month to farm, so it's still in time." Hu Yadong nodded.

"Where will you live after the work is done? Will you live in the dormitory over there at the primary school?" He Jianguo asked.

"Yeah, it's more convenient to live there. Anyway, it's faster to build a house, and it will be done in less than two months, right?" Chen Tiezhu nodded.

"No problem, the materials are ready, and we don't lack workers, so this can be done quickly." Hu Yadong said.

"Lianshan has also contacted the bricklayers in advance. As soon as they heard that they were going to build a house for you, they lined up to come. I'm just afraid that there will be too many workers and some people will have to be idle."

"Hahaha, that's okay." Chen Tiezhu was happy.

"At that time, at most we can get together and chat. The more lively the better. I just like lively. That's when people are lively, and work is not tiring."

"Ding ding ding"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large truck drove over, loaded with a lot of wooden boxes.

"This guy came as soon as he said he would." Chen Tiezhu waved his hand.

"Tiezhu, I sent the boxes of Niu Er's brothers over with another truck. Can two trucks fit this time? They all have trailers." Liu Da, who jumped off the car,Someone asked.

"Enough. Master, let's get off the car and rest first. We still have to drive hard tonight." Chen Tiezhu greeted.

The driver nodded with a smile and led his apprentice to jump out of the car.

He also knew that this transportation task was very arduous and the county attached great importance to it.

"After working so hard for so long, it finally came to light." Liu Dayou said with emotion.

"That's right, everyone is looking forward to it. Have the sales matters in the city and the province been settled?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"It's settled. It will be done when it is delivered tomorrow morning. Our company's people can handle it there." Liu Dayou said.

"We will send the first three batches to the market. Later, we will go directly to the wholesale route? Some vegetable sellers are interested in our mushrooms."

"Well, it's also for peace of mind. When we deliver goods in the future, we can just follow a salesperson. There is no need to make so much trouble." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Although the profit will certainly be affected, the impact is not big. The key is to save a lot of worry. We have to move in this direction in the future."

Liu Da nodded. In the matter of sales, he still had to follow Chen Tiezhu's guidance.

"How is the inventory of the feed factory's assets going?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"It will be almost done in three or two days. In order to save some time, our people will also take inventory together." Liu Da said with a smile.

"Director Cui has finished talking. At that time, we will arrange a few people to inspect their equipment. It will definitely ensure the good operation of the equipment, which is better than repairing it when there is a problem."

Chen Tiezhu nodded. He was very satisfied with the result.

For me now, I really don't lack talents. Otherwise, why do we say that the old factory is a treasure? There are really many talents in it.

"Dinglingling, dinglingling..."

At this time, the phone at home rang.

"I'm Chen Tiezhu."

Chen Tiezhu walked into the room and picked up the microphone and said.

"Brother-in-law, my thesis seems to be really going to cause trouble."

Han Zhenwen's pitiful voice came from the microphone.
