Chapter 548 Sold Out
Chapter 548 Sold Out
The production team's vegetable business was in full swing. After the autumn harvest, the villagers and educated youth were also busy. They were either sent into the mountains to collect mountain products by the team leader, or were pulled to help store sauerkraut. Even the matter of storing sauerkraut at home was delayed.
Fortunately, Liu Jingxue had anticipated this situation early on. The next day after she proposed to Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao that they sell vegetables, she called Aunt Sufen to help store sauerkraut.
Liu Jingxue had no plan to use the vegetables from the garden at the back. Instead, she took advantage of the night when no one was around and used her spiritual sense to harvest all the vegetables in the garden and stored them in the space warehouse.
When the spiritual sense scanned and detected Aunt Sufen walking towards this side, the vegetables planted in the space were released out of the space.
Aunt Sufen not only came herself, but also brought her two daughters-in-law to help.
Liu Jingxue helped and learned from him at the same time. It took the three of them a whole morning to finish the three tanks, one large and two small.
They were repeatedly asked to stay for dinner, but the three of them refused because the whole family was waiting for them to cook.
Liu Jingxue had no choice but to present four feet of cloth as a thank you gift. The three men tried to refuse again and again, but they were no match for Liu Jingxue.
Seeing that they were unwilling to accept it, Liu Jingxue agreed on the surface, but after sending them out, she stuffed the cloth into Aunt Sufen's arms, closed the gate, and refused to open the door no matter how they knocked.
"This kid is just being a scoundrel." Wu Sufen knocked on the door for a long time, and when she found that she couldn't open the door, she said helplessly.
Zhang's eldest daughter-in-law looked amused, "Liu Zhiqing is still acting like a child, using this trick again."
"Mom, I think you should accept it. If you don't, I don't know what Liu Zhiqing will come up with later."
"Okay, take it then."
After Wu Sufen finished speaking, she shouted to the courtyard, "Xiaoxue, you can't do this again next time.
If you continue to do this, I will be embarrassed to help you if you ask me for help again. People will think I am after your stuff."
"Auntie, everyone knows that you are not that kind of person, so you don't have to worry about that.
You take what I give you.
Your cooking skills are really great. I couldn’t get enough of the pickled vegetables from last year. I’ve been missing them for a long time.”
Wu Sufen was very happy that her craftsmanship was recognized by others.
“I just taught you how to make pickled cabbage. It’s not difficult at all.
You can try it later. Even if you are not here anymore, you can still eat authentic Northeastern pickled cabbage."
"Okay, Auntie, I will definitely try to do it."
Everyone in the production team was so busy that they couldn't even find anyone to deliver the public grain. After all, selling vegetables earned money, but delivering the public grain earned nothing, and they had to watch their own grain become something that no longer belonged to them.
Anyway, the autumn harvest in other production teams has not yet been completed, so it doesn’t matter if the public grain is delivered late.
This year, the production team had the incident with Wang Lihua, so there was no hope of becoming an advanced production team, so there was no need to rush to show off and deliver the public grain early.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a few days late, making money is what’s important.
Fortunately, the team leader still had some energy and went to negotiate with the people at the grain station early.
After spending a day with the production team members to prepare sauerkraut from the vegetables transported back from Liushugou, the next day the people from the grain station drove to the door to collect grain.
Most of the team members went up the mountain to collect food early in the morning. Although the team leader had agreed with some people in advance to stay at home to collect food, there were still not enough people. The team leader remembered Liu Jingxue and asked someone to call her over.
The group of people worked hard for most of the day before they finally paid the public grain that was due.
"Captain, the public grain has been paid, so it's time for us to distribute the grain," a villager asked.
After working hard for half a year just for this money and food, the villagers naturally couldn't wait to ask.
"What are you thinking about? It's still early. Don't you see that our vegetable business has just started?"
"But the vegetables for our production team have already been ordered, and we also brought back a lot of vegetables from Liushugou."
“You just don’t want to make more money.
Since we can bring back vegetables from Liushugou at a low price and sell them as sauerkraut, we cannot bring back vegetables from other production teams and sell them to units in the town to make a profit from the difference.
Do you have a grudge against money or something? You don't want to make more money." The captain asked back.
When the villagers heard this, they were immediately delighted, "The captain can do it this way."
"Why not, didn't we do that last year? We are just continuing this year.
However, before, you bought vegetables from your relatives in your own name, but now you are just purchasing them from various production teams in the name of the brigade.
When the brigade made money, it was counted as work points and distributed to everyone, and none of us brigade cadres kept any of it for ourselves.
Why, you are not willing to wait a few more days."
"Of course, of course we are happy to do so." The villagers responded with a smile.
"Since you have nothing to do, don't stay idle at home this afternoon. Go into the mountains and get some mountain products. If you sell them, you'll make a lot of money.
The educated youth in the team are now out there trying to attract business for us, so you must not hold them back. Don’t let others attract business and you have nothing to sell, and you have to watch them make money.”
When the villagers heard that others could earn money while they could only watch, they immediately stopped working and said, "Don't worry, Captain, we will go into the mountains soon."
The Red Star Production Team's vegetable sales lasted for half a month. They not only cleared out the excess vegetables, dried vegetables, and mountain products from their own production team, but also cleared out the excess vegetables and mountain products from seven or eight nearby production teams.
Not only that, the production team now has sixty jars of sauerkraut stored in its warehouse, waiting for the right time for the person who placed the order to come and pick up the goods.
Even Liu Jingxue took this opportunity to sell all the vegetables and dried vegetables that were not produced in the space and stored in the space warehouse.
There was really no goods to sell, so the team leader stopped the educated youth.
In fact, there were other production teams further away, and they must have had surplus vegetables, but the distance was too far, and the small price difference was not enough to cover the gas money to bring the vegetables back, so the cadres of the production teams were not willing to go to that trouble.
In fact, there are two production teams nearby. Last year, they were jealous of the Red Star Production Team, and this year they also wanted to go to the town to sell vegetables. However, there were no capable people in the village. Although those educated youth also went to the town, they could not attract any business.
The cadres of the Red Star Production Team also approached their brigade, hoping to purchase the vegetables and mountain products from their production team, but they asked for too high a price, leaving no profit margin for the Red Star Production Team at all.
The captain and his men were not fools, so they naturally disagreed, and the final result was naturally an unhappy parting.
After sending off the last group of people who came to collect the grain, the captain waved his hand and announced, "Tomorrow the cadres will settle the accounts, and the day after tomorrow we will start distributing the grain."
"Captain, those pickled cabbages haven't been sent away yet. Shouldn't we wait until they are sold before distributing the food?"
"No, I won't wait any longer. It will take at least half a month for the pickled vegetables to be ready. I don't have much money, so I'll just keep it for my expenses.
This time when we divide the money, we can just keep a little less from the public.
After we divide the money and food, we will take a break and prepare for the winter hunt. We don’t have that much time to waste.”
Since the team leader said so, the villagers naturally had no objection and just waited for the distribution of food the day after tomorrow.
