Zhang Tan doesn't know if Teacher Jiang can let go of her depression, but at least this is a good start that will free her from the huge psychological pressure.
Teacher Jiang was extremely grateful to him, and all his gratitude could not be expressed in words.
In the morning, Zhang Tan looked for work everywhere at home, and he finished all the heavy physical work.
The weather was a little hot, so Teacher Jiang asked him to go back to the room and drink some water.
Although Baijia Village is located in the mountains and there are constant mountain winds blowing down from the mountains and forests, I am still sweating profusely while working.
Zhang Tan returned to the room, picked up the boiled water that Teacher Jiang gave him, and took a big sip, filling his mouth with the sweet taste.
"Is this sugar water?" Zhang Tan asked in surprise.
Teacher Jiang said: "It's honey, wild honey from the mountains. It relieves the heat and can be soaked in water to drink."
Zhang Tan said: "It is indeed very sweet. Why don't you go up the mountain to find wild honey? Don't go, it's too dangerous."
Teacher Jiang said: "I didn't go there, the village chief gave it to me."
According to Teacher Jiang, the village head was very concerned and caring about her life during this period and would often come to help her with some farm work.
It doesn’t have to be the village chief himself, his son, or the village captain.
"Then I have to go thank him." Zhang Tan said.
“Boss Zhang—Boss Zhang!”
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will come.
When the village chief came, he shouted twice while he was still outside the yard.
The village chief wore a pair of black baggy trousers and a white T-shirt. The trousers looked like they hadn't been washed for a while. There were dried mud marks on the trousers' legs. As for the T-shirt, it was soaked through.
Turned yellow due to sweat.
It seemed that he had changed his clothes specially to see him. Otherwise, he would not have dressed like this at home, which would have been very inconvenient.
The village chief has a round face with a smile. His hair is still healthy, but his hairline has receded, revealing his broad forehead, which is shiny due to sweating.
"Mr. Zhang, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back that we would pick you up in the county?" the village chief said with a smile.
Zhang Tan said: "We came back directly from Chengdu. We drove by ourselves. Why did you pick me up? No need to bother."
The village chief added: "Come to my house for dinner at noon, bring Xiaobai, and Teacher Jiang will also come with you."
Teacher Jiang said: "I'm already making lunch, you don't need to bother."
The village chief was extremely enthusiastic. He wanted to pick him up at the airport, invited him to his home for dinner, and finally explained his intention.
"Let me report to you on the operation of the tea factory."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Tan to reply, he took out an old and thick notebook from his trousers pocket, flipped it to the middle position, and began to report to Zhang Tan various data on the tea factory during this period.
.
Upon seeing this, Teacher Jiang went to the kitchen on the pretext of preparing lunch.
Zhang Tan saw that the village chief had already begun his report, so he did not interrupt. He could report what he wanted.
In fact, every month, he receives financial reports and has a thorough understanding of the tea factory's operating conditions.
The financial director was appointed by him. He was a local in the county. He was hired to work in the tea factory and could report directly to him.
It's not that I don't trust the village chief and other people in Baijia Village, but that money, people, and things should be separated, which is good for everyone.
The advertising of Taibai Xiuya Tea on Pentium APP was very successful, and orders have always been in short supply.
The output of the tea factory is still not high and needs to be further improved.
It is precisely because of the booming business that the village chief reports with great vigor, holding his head high, full of energy, radiant and eloquent.
At this moment, an excited "old man" came from the yard.
"Look at the big fish I caught—"
The next moment, Xiaobai ran over and appeared at the door.
The little guy's straw hat was gone, his face was red from the sun, his trousers were rolled up, his shoes were gone, and his bare feet were on the ground.
At this moment, she was holding a big grass carp in her hand and couldn't wait to show it off to Zhang Tan: "Look! I caught this one! Haha - do you know how I caught it? Huh?"
She was talking excitedly, and suddenly she glanced at the village chief who had stopped reporting and was looking at her.
The two stared at each other, and the village chief's eyes fell on the big fish she was holding.
Too bad~
Without saying a word, Xiaobai turned around and ran away, dragging Dunzi away from the yard who was following him.
Dunzi was holding two big fish in his hands, stringing branches from the gills to the fish's mouth, holding branches, one in each hand.
"Why are you leaving?"
Zhang Tan asked the question in the air, then looked at the village chief. A smile broke out on the village chief's astonished face again, and he said, "Then I will continue to report."
Zhang Tan said: "That's enough. I understand everything you said, village chief. The tea factory is running very well now. If we keep up our efforts, we won't need to be so formal."
When the village chief heard this, he put away his notebook and invited him to visit the tea factory, saying that the tea factory now had a completely new look.
Zhang Tan agreed to go tomorrow morning, exchanged a few words with the village chief, and then left.
He saw Xiaobai poking his head at the door several times and knew he was leaving.
"Village Chief, walk slowly."
Zhang Tan escorted the village chief out and came to the yard. He caught a glimpse of Xiaobai and Dunzi not far away and immediately hid.
The village chief seemed to have seen it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, stay here, don't send me away. Oh, by the way, if Mr. Zhang likes to eat fish, I will send some fish over in the afternoon."
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Didn't Xiaobai already catch it just now?"
"Did you catch it? I didn't see it. I didn't see it. It's amazing. Xiaobai is really amazing."
After seeing off the village chief, Xiaobai and Dunzi reappeared, carrying three big fish in their hands.
"Old man, look! Dunzi and I fished, hahaha~~~"
Xiaobai was extremely proud.
Zhang Tan looked at the big fish, then at her bare feet, and asked, "Where did you catch it?"
He felt that this little guy and Dunzi must have done nothing good, otherwise they would not be hiding from the village chief.
"Caught in the water."
"Of course I know it was caught in the water. Where else could the fish be if it weren't in the water? I'm asking, was it caught in the river or in the pond?"
"...in the pond."
"Whose pond is it?"
"...the village chief's."
"What a good guy, you~"
Xiaobai:→_→
"I saw you went fishing by the river, didn't you? Why did you end up fishing in the village chief's pond?" Zhang sighed.
Xiaobai: "You can't catch any fish in the river. There are many fish in the pond, just one at a time. We threw away the smaller ones, leaving only the big fish. Old man, I'll make boiled fish fillets for you."
Zhang Tan said: "This is the fish raised by the village chief. How can you go fishing?"
He looked at Dunzi. Dunzi was an honest boy and would definitely not take the initiative to go fishing in the village chief's pond, so it must have been Xiaobai's idea.
Xiaobai rolled his eyes and said: "Old man, I will make boiled fish fillets for you to eat. If you eat them, you will be on our side. You won't tell the village chief."
Zhang Tan was speechless. The village chief should have noticed it just now. Do you still need me to say it?!
"Quickly take the fish to the kitchen, keep it in the water, and remember to wash your hands."
Xiaobai and Dunzi immediately ran to the kitchen carrying the big fish, shouting as they ran: "Grandma - Grandma! I'm here to fish, and I'll make a feast of fish for you! Go away and rest, I'll do it
