Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 322
Chapter 322: Win-win Solution
Although he wanted Han Yuheng to stop using human excrement as fertilizer, Li Chenmo also understood that in this era, using that kind of fertilizer was normal in the village. It would be difficult to change his mind. What’s more, this matter also involves extra work points for most villagers. Therefore, the possibility of this matter being approved is almost zero.
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Chenmo sighed and said, “In this case, I will go to the brigade secretary. If the pig manure is not transported out, I need to dig more pits, which may pollute the water source.”
Lu Jueyu knew that this matter was important, so she nodded at his words. Since her husband was going out, she took out a small pouch from the space and handed it to her husband, “Husband, bring some money and coupons for emergencies.”
Li Chenmo knew that his wife was worried that he would be embarrassed if he went out to socialize without money, so he took it and said with a smile, “I’ll be back in an hour or two.”
“En, be careful on the road.”
After Li Chenmo left on his bicycle, Lu Jueyu locked the door and went to the living room. Pan Meijia saw her coming and asked, “Jueyu, what snacks are we going to make today?”
Lu Jueyu sat down opposite her and asked, “Meijia, have you informed your cousin about my requirement?”
Pan Meijia nodded and said, “My cousin agrees to your conditions. Bajie will be responsible for picking up the items every day. He will come at midnight. When he comes again the next day, the money will be given to you.”
As if she remembered something, she took out a purse from her clothes, handed it to Lu Jueyu, and said, “This is the money for your tonic wine. My cousin has already deducted his share.”
Lu Jueyu took the pouch and checked the money. Judging from the thickness of the money, it must be more than a thousand yuan. She used her clothes as cover and put her purse into her space.
Zhang Dongmei listened to them and was surprised by their arrangement. This was the first time she had done something against the government regulations, and she was still a little scared. But after listening to their conversation, she felt much more at ease.
“Third sister-in-law, the snacks will be taken at midnight, should we make it later? The weather is getting hotter and the food will spoil faster.” Zhang Dongmei asked.
Hearing her words, Pan Meijia nodded, agreeing with her. Lu Jueyu thought for a while and said, “Since that’s the case, how about we prepare dried snacks instead?”
Pan Meijia and Zhang Dongmei were both confused by her words. Zhang Dongmei can only make some steamed cakes, while Pan Meijia is an amateur and knows basically nothing about cooking. The main purpose of her coming today was to serve as a food taster and to learn cooking skills from Lu Jueyu.
Seeing their confused looks, Lu Jueyu smiled and said, “We can make some biscuits, beef jerky, meat sauce, or fruit jam. These foods have a longer shelf life and are still delicious even if they are cold. As for steamed cakes or other food, we will make it around 9pm.”
Their eyes lit up when they heard her words. This way, they can prepare more food to sell instead of wasting time idling away.
After reaching the agreement, they went to the kitchen and started preparing the dough for the cookies. Under Lu Jueyu’s step-by-step instruction, both Zhang Dongmei and Pan Meijia learned quickly. They think biscuits are hard to make because biscuits taste so good. Turns out, it’s very simple and easy. The main thing is the brick oven.
In addition to making biscuits, they also make beef jerky, grilled fish, meat sauce, and fruit jam.
After Zhang Dongmei saw the raw materials, she was worried that they would not be able to sell them and would lose money instead. But when Lu Jueyu assured her that the food was pre-ordered, she finally felt at ease.
While they were busy cooking, Li Chenmo came to the brigade office. When he locked his bicycle, Comrade Jiang saw him and strode over.
When he was a few steps away from him, he said in surprise, “Comrade Li, it’s indeed you.”
Hearing his voice, Li Chenmo turned around and said, “Comrade Jiang, how are you?”
“What brought you here today?” Comrade Jiang asked with a smile.
“I came to ask the brigade if they need pig manure as fertilizer. The pit I dug to store pig manure is almost full. If the pig manure cannot be transported out, I will have to dig a new pit.” Li Chenmo explained.
After hearing what he said, Comrade Jiang’s eyes lit up and he said, “We want it! Please come with me to fill out a form so I can go get the pig manure.”
Seeing his excitement, Li Chenmo nodded and followed him. Comrade Jiang was ecstatic since he managed to get a good amount of fertilizer while Li Chenmo was relieved that he managed to find a way to throw away the pig manure. This is a win-win solution.
Comrade Jiang can imagine that with Li Chenmo’s pig manure, the production of vegetables and fruits can be increased. He also doesn’t need to go to the production teams and ask them to share the fertilizer.
Every time he visits the leaders of the production team, he must bring them a ‘gift’. What’s more, he prepared this gift himself and spent a lot of money on it. In addition, when he went to visit, some production team leaders were also very arrogant. Thinking of this, Comrade Jiang felt that Li Chenmo was very pleasing to his eyes.
Comrade Jiang led Li Chenmo to his desk and said, “Comrade Li, please have a seat.”
After saying that, he poured him a glass of water, then he sat down and took out a piece of paper from the drawer.
