Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 75 Scheme
"Weijun, don't blame Uncle Ming for being harsh. Our village is poor. Farming is just enough for food and clothing. If the villagers give up farming and convert all their land into greenhouses, the mushrooms picked will not be sold and will rot in their hands. Then someone will surely commit suicide by jumping into the river!"

Li Qiming thought more about it. As soon as he asked the question, Chen Shoushan, who was subconsciously nodding in agreement, also frowned.

Yao Weijun smiled calmly and said: "I have already thought about this aspect, please don't worry, Uncle Ming.

First of all, during the mushroom planting period, I will go to the county to contact the private owners of Daoteng Vegetables, and sign an agreement with them to purchase fresh mushrooms on time.

In addition, considering that the vegetable boss may not be able to digest it all, I have a better way, but...it requires some labor in the early stage, but I guarantee that I will earn more than selling fresh mushrooms! "

"Oh? You mean... selling dried mushrooms? Then you have to find a place to store them for drying, right?"

Li Qiming was a bit older, but he often went to communes and even county meetings, so he was quite farsighted. He understood what Yao Weijun meant at that time.

"Yes, the price of dried mushrooms can be increased several times. All in all, selling dried mushrooms is more profitable! In addition, it also ensures that we don't have to worry about rotting in a hurry, so we can sell them at a low price."

Yao Weijun smiled and nodded.

"Then...the Professor Ling you are talking about, did he teach you how to make fresh mushrooms into dried mushrooms?"

Li Qiming suppressed his inner joy and asked cautiously again.

"No." Yao Weijun shook his head, but then said: "But I took the initiative to consult with him. Based on the existing conditions in our village, the best way is to dig a cellar and slowly consume it with the help of the constant temperature underground. To remove moisture from dried and fresh mushrooms, as long as you pay attention to ventilation and removing moisture, this is the most trouble-free and effective way.”

"Okay! Now that the professor has said it, I have nothing to worry about. Wei Jun, you are solely responsible for this matter. How to dig the cellar and how large it is is up to you to design and arrange. I will be responsible for gathering the labor for you, okay? Well, haha..."

Li Qiming was completely relieved. He was also a village cadre who wanted to sincerely do something for the village before retiring. At this moment, he made the decision with great excitement.

"Yes, I, the production captain, personally supervise the work. Some people in the province are muttering behind their backs about household responsibility and idle cadres. It's all bullshit! I'll show it to them myself with practical actions!"

Chen Shoushan also became excited. The land was divided in the village. As a production captain, he really didn't have much to do. At this time, he couldn't help but burst out full of energy again.

"Uncle Ming, Uncle Shoushan, thank you for your support. Come, I wish our Jianchang Village will have better and better days in the future. Let's drink this!"

Yao Weijun was in an equally happy mood. Not only had the matter of building the greenhouse been settled, but he also had the confidence to go to Xingegezhuang tomorrow to discuss purchasing raw melon seeds in large quantities.

The shortest mushroom cultivation cycle is six or seven months, so that the quality of the mushrooms produced will be better. The currently dug cellar can be used to store raw melon seeds and peanuts, which perfectly solves the problem of raw materials for the roasted seeds and nuts trade around the New Year.

The three of them talked freely about the prospects of planting mushrooms in the future, drank wine and ate vegetables. Finally, Chen Shoushan was so drunk that he couldn't talk anymore, and that was the end.

After seeing off the two village leaders, Yao Weijun drank tea for a while in the house. The sound of a tricycle approaching was heard on the road outside the threshing floor.

He didn't even need to look, he knew that the person who came here must be You Damin.

"Sister Chuntao, it's still the same as before, eight hundred catties of melon seeds and five hundred catties of peanuts, you're in trouble!"

You Damin had been here many times and was already familiar with Chuntao and the others. He handed out a cigarette to Li Qixue outside and walked straight into the house.

Yao Weijun greeted him at the door of the house, and they both entered the house and sat down together with a smile.

"Good guy! The house is filled with the smell of wine. You didn't drink less at noon, right? Next time there is a wine shop, call me in advance. Why, I feel sorry for you that the little wine you have is not enough for me?!"

After You Damin sat down, he started teasing with a smile.

"Young fool, don't leave tonight. I'll find some buddies to have a drink with you. There's plenty of wine!" Yao Weijun threw him a cigarette across the table and continued: "It's just a joke, especially Brother, when will you introduce me to your vegetable seller?"

"Hey! Are you going to choke on my head?"

You Damin knew that with his relationship with the vegetable seller, no one could hold him back, so he said this deliberately as a joke.

"I'm going to set up a greenhouse in the village to grow shiitake mushrooms. The mushrooms are in a hurry. Once we wait for a large batch, we have to find someone to sell them immediately. We have this relationship, so I don't need to find anyone else."

Yao Weijun explained seriously.

"Come on, brother, your business is my business. It's all trivial. In a few days, when will you come to the county? Let me introduce you to each other. But let's talk about it first. I won't do it without you. Brother, I will do it now. I make a living by selling some peanuts and melon seeds, but I’m worried about you if you don’t like it!”

After You Damin finished speaking, he burst into laughter.

"How refreshing. We are in a cooperative relationship. Can I find my own way? Yes, I dare you to drink more than me this lunch!"

Yao Weijun looked sideways, but soon started laughing too.

The tricycle outside was loaded with goods. After You Damin finished paying the bills, he followed the driver back to the county town. He really didn't have time to stay for a meal.

Blink to the second day.

When Yao Weijun returned home, he took some money from the canvas bag in his grandmother's bedroom cabinet, added the payment collected yesterday, and settled the money for building a house with Liu Sanshui who came to settle the account early in the morning.

I went to an agency to buy locks of various sizes and hung them on all the doors of my new house.

After doing this, he called Zhou Liqiang from Xingge Village at the village headquarters. After confirming that the village party secretary Wang Tongfu was available, he got on his motorcycle and hurried over.

Less than an hour later, he arrived at the gate of the Xingegezhuang Village Headquarters. Zhou Liqiang heard the sound and ran out. The two chatted in a low voice outside the courtyard gate, and then they entered the village headquarter yard together.

The branch secretary of Xinggezhuang is named Wang Tongfu. Yao Weijun has met him when he first came here, and they have known each other for a long time.

At this time, I heard the noise outside from the house and walked out laughing.

"Haha...Comrade Yao Weijun is here, hurry up, sit down in the room!"

At Zhou Liqiang's signal, the three of them came to the side room and exchanged a few words. Yao Weijun took the brewed tea and put it on the table, and said straight to the point:

"Secretary Wang, let's make a long story short. I'm here today for no other reason than to talk to you about the supply of raw melon seeds..."

As soon as he said this, Secretary Wang raised his hand and interrupted with a helpless smile:
"Oh, Comrade Yao Weijun, you have to be considerate of our difficulties. If the villagers hadn't had any objections, I would have continued to cooperate with you.

But the actual situation is here. You see, all the raw melon seeds in the field will be harvested in 20 days at most. The villagers are looking forward to transporting them out early to save money. I really have no choice! "

"Party Secretary Wang, if you have any difficulties, I can help you solve them. That's good. I'll give you an estimate of how many kilograms of raw melon seeds there are in total. I'll round them up!"

However, Party Secretary Lao Wang must handle the relevant procedures in advance. "

Yao Weijun's calm words immediately shocked Party Secretary Wang and left him speechless for a moment.
