When Liu Qingshan heard Liang Xiaonan say that he would donate all 20,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes to the town, almost all the cadres in the town wanted to kowtow to her.
Nowadays, there is no harvest, and last year’s grain has not returned. The bark of the elm trees has long been stripped off. People who raise silkworms can still make some money, but they don’t raise silkworms. It’s really hard to open the pot.
In the past, Xiaoyun Town was at the bottom and Nanfeng Town was second to last. Liu Qingshan was dealing with the top and supervising the bottom, but there was no way. The seeds and fertility were not strong enough. Then, there was no resale of grain, and everyone endured year after year.
This batch of sweet potatoes was not within the scope of collection by the superiors, but was donated by Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan, so he calculated that each of the 16 natural villages in the town, with a total population of 12,000 people, could receive one and a half kilograms of sweet potatoes.
After the sweet potatoes were divided, Ergouzi came to Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan. The second batch of silkworm cocoons were packed up, and farmers from nearby villages also handed them over. This time they expanded the breeding and harvested a total of 1,200 dans.
Zhou Yan immediately made a calculation in his mind, 1,200 dan, 120,000 jin, and charged a total of 360,000, and paid 120,000 to the factory...
Can extract 48,000 kilograms of clean silk!
120,000 kilograms is 60 tons. Zhou Yan drove to the silk reeling factory, and the factory manager led a man to drive a big truck to pull it out that day.
The cocoons were a cheap commodity, and one truck could hold 10 tons. It took two big trucks five trips to transport the 60 tons of cocoons.
The scale weighed, and the total was 120,320 kilograms.
Zhou Yan went to the silk reeling factory to collect 360,960 yuan, came back quickly, handed it all to Liang Xiaonan, and said, "Go and give the money to Ergouzi and the others."
They themselves are not anxious about the money, but the workers in the silkworm factory are.
Liang Xiaonan said with a smile: "It is going to be sent. Everyone is craning their necks in anticipation of this money."
The money given to the silkworm factory was 1 yuan per pound, totaling 120,320 yuan. Liang Xiaonan counted the money, put it in a sack, and went to the silkworm factory with Zhou Yan.
Everyone had been craning their necks to wait for them. As soon as they appeared in the silkworm factory, all the men and women in the factory gathered around and enthusiastically offered tea and water.
Er Gouzi also came out to greet him. Er Gouzi was still Er Gouzi, but now he was more imposing and had the air of a leader.
"Brother Zhou, sister-in-law, why did you deliver it yourself? Just call me and I'll get it myself." Ergouzi said with a smile.
Zhou Yan said: "I came here when I had time to call you. What are you doing?"
Liang Xiaonan handed the money to Ergouzi: "You ask people to count."
"Hey," Ergouzi said, scratching his head in embarrassment, "I definitely don't need to count what my sister-in-law has already counted..."
"No, you have to figure it out face to face. Friendship is friendship, business is business, and you have to calculate it face to face."
Ergouzi said "oh oh oh" and called the accountant. The accountant didn't hide anything and counted the money openly in front of the office table!
In the office, there were heads outside the windows, and everyone was waiting with smiles.
Is there anything more exciting than this?
120,320 yuan, what does it mean? A stack of 1,000 yuan, 121 stacks.
After counting, the accountant flicked his wrist and said, "My hand hurts!"
Everyone laughed!
Ergouzi said to Liang Xiaonan and Zhou Yan: "You guys wait a moment, I'll call the mayor over and make him jealous. He didn't ask us to hand over last month's money. This month, except for the workers' wages, we don't have any other money."
Turn it all in."
This group earns a lot of money, but the workers are also very tired. It’s not like just spreading mulberry leaves on the silkworms and that’s it. There’s a lot of work!
So when the weight was determined to be 120,320 pounds after weighing, Ergouzi discussed with Liu Qingshan and the accountant to give the workers a salary of 100 yuan and a bonus of 50 yuan each.
The monthly income of 150 yuan is higher than the income of division-level cadres in the county.
The entire silkworm factory was filled with joy and people lined up to share the money.
At a glance, Liang Xiaonan saw the two daughters-in-law of Sister Hu's family queuing up. They all ran over to say hello to her and excitedly invited her to go home.
Before Liang Xiaonan could reply, he saw Yang Zhili walking in from the outside with a gloomy face. He saw Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan nodding and saying nothing.
Zhou Yan looked at him, then at Li Hongmei who was smiling in the team, and twitched the corners of his lips. Chen Yuling separated Yang Zhili and Li Hongmei, and Sister Hu had already said goodbye to Li Hongmei.
I heard that the other party’s family is poor, maybe a little poor, but they are pretty good people and their parents are very honest. He is also an employee in a factory. The two of them can earn more than 200 yuan a month. How can they live like this?
Everyone received the money. When Liu Qingshan heard that Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan were here, he hurried over and said happily: "Our silkworm factory is now more fragrant than any factory in the nearby town. This is an old mother who can lay golden eggs."
chicken."
If the town has money, things will be easier to do.
Liu Qingshan took the town's accountant Bai, paid the workers' wages and bonuses, and took away all the remaining money, but promised Ergouzi to leave a small part of the silkworm factory's daily expenses.
Er Gouzi didn't have any objections. Zhou Yan and Liang Xiaonan gave him the job as factory director, but the factory was from the town. He was content with getting his salary and taking care of his acquaintances.
Seeing the happy workers, Ergouzi factory director immediately made an important decision.
"Today the mayor left us money, we are tied! Everyone contributes 2 cents, and the factory contributes 150 yuan. We invite someone to cook a meal, and everyone eats to their heart's content, and everyone eats the leftovers.
Take the guy home."
2 cents per person, that’s 24 yuan and 40 cents, plus the 150 yuan from the factory, you can imagine how rich this meal is!
Ergouzi took care of it himself. He was a little selfish and asked Liang Xiaonan secretly: "Sister-in-law, is there any meat, vegetables, etc. in your mulberry garden? If we can buy it here, we don't have to buy it outside."
Zhou Yan looked at him with disgust: "Er Gouzi, don't think that you are taking care of your sister-in-law. Let me tell you, your sister-in-law's things are the best, and you can't buy them even if you have money."
Ergouzi said: "Of course, I asked my sister-in-law for her goods because I knew they were good. Think about it, I asked to do it in person, and this was the first time we were tied. I couldn't make them remember it deeply. I made them all greedy.
Die? I won’t care next time. Anyone who cheats will never buy more food than I do!”
Liang Xiaonan said: "There are a lot of good things in my mulberry garden. There are so many of you. I will give you 50 kilograms of pork, 50 kilograms of fish, 10 kilograms of chickens, 20 kilograms of duck eggs, and 50 kilograms of potatoes. You can take care of the rest.
How about matching yourself?"
Ergouzi had sold her fish and knew her potatoes. Of course he knew that Liang Xiaonan would definitely take care of him. He bowed deeply to Liang Xiaonan and said in a smooth tone: "Sister-in-law, thank you very much!"
Zhou Yan said: "Go away!"
Ergouzi, the loser of the silkworm factory, simply asked Zhou Yan to invite Master Zheng from Wanghu Tower.
Ergouzi said to Master Zheng: "Master Zheng, give them a lot of oil and water."
Master Zheng had known about it for a long time. He brought two apprentices here and cooked four dishes in total: braised pork and eggplant; fish with pickled vegetables; chicken with potatoes; fried duck eggs with chili and garlic sprouts.
Except for the sauerkraut fish that Master Zheng does himself, his apprentices do everything else with one purpose: great profits!
For 174 yuan, everyone was full and stuffed!
In the end, there was still a lot left. As originally promised, each person would take an enamel jar home. Today is a carnival day for the whole town.
