The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

In fact, based on last year's sales, even if the three counties were together, this year's peaches would still be unsaleable.

Zhu Xiaomin didn't expect the commune to intervene in this matter, so she thought about it and asked, "What did the secretary say?"

"What can I say? I just want to come back and study it. Although we have to take care of the brothers' team, we can't ignore our own team." Gu Mancang sighed.

This good old man always wants to have both ends.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled, nodded and said: "Since we want to let them go, we might as well let the other two counties go. It's just that we contacted them through our county's supply and marketing cooperative, so the handover of this matter has to be done by us."

"What did you say?" Gu Mancang almost jumped up and asked with wide eyes, "You said two counties? What should we do? This year there will not only be peaches, but also pears and apples. Then... then... "

"So we have to take over." Zhu Xiaomin hurriedly comforted him and sat back, then said, "Secretary, think about it, among these hundreds of people, not all of them like to eat peaches. Last year, they had no choice, but this year they have Between pears and apples, some people won’t choose peaches, is that the truth?”

Gu Mancang nodded.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Although the peaches from other brigades have also entered the peak fruiting period this year, they were too hesitant to plant many peaches that year, and they couldn't bear many peaches. The sales volume in those two counties was enough for them to give away, or even not enough. .”

Of the 20% in the first year, their brigade itself shouldered more than eight percent, and the rest was distributed to other brigade, which has not yet been fully cultivated.

Gu Mancang nodded.

Zhu Xiaomin said: "If this is not enough, we have to make up for it. We don't make up for peaches, only pears and apples. In this way, the peaches from other brigades are sold, and our pears and apples go to those two counties." At the farmer’s market, they also have more varieties in the county, killing three birds with one stone.”

"But what about our Taozi?" Gu Mancang was still worried.

Zhu Xiaomin said with a smile: "Secretary, in a county as big as ours, there are not only a few communes in our forest farm, but also other towns that are purely engaged in grain production. They don't have any fruit trees."

"You mean, we sell to other towns?" Gu Mancang frowned, seriously considering the feasibility of this operation.

Zhu Xiaomin said: "We are not needed. We will discuss with Secretary Yan and we will also send it to the county, and they will distribute it in the towns."

Gu Mancang was worried: "Then... can those towns be worth two counties?"

Of course not!

Zhu Xiaomin added: "We will make secondary preparations after that." She gave him the materials in hand and said, "This is something Chen Zhiqing and I went to the county glass factory to ask about last year. They usually only produce ordinary glass. Glass, but canning bottles can also be made. The city cannery orders glass bottles from them, but because of the lack of fruit resources, the city cannery cannot order many."

Gu Mancang took the materials and looked at them, his eyes were already bright: "You mean, our peaches will be sent to the city cannery to be canned?"

"Secretary..." Zhu Xiaomin was helpless, "Secretary forgot that several counties actually wanted our peaches last year. It was just because the transportation time was long and the peaches were not released, so there was no cooperation. The only way to transport them was further away from the city."

"Then..." Gu Mancang didn't understand again.

Zhu Xiaomin explained: "What I mean is to see if we can order cans from the glass factory and process them into cans ourselves?"

Gu Mancang's eyes widened instantly: "We can process it ourselves?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "With the money we earned last year, the team left more than 20,000 yuan as a development fund. It won't cost much to buy saplings this year, right? Now we only need to buy a can sealing machine and order a batch of glass Bottle, the labor force will still be chosen from among the sisters-in-law of our team, and the work points will be recorded."

"Then...where is the market?" Gu Mancang asked.

Zhu Xiaomin said: "The long shelf life of cans is nothing more than finding ways to transport them so that they don't break. Then they can be sent to our county, other counties, or even cities and provinces, as long as they can open up sales." You can try it.”

Gu Mancang was stunned by the grand blueprint she drew, and asked after a while: "Then... are you asking Secretary Yan for help?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "From a policy perspective, we cannot bypass the county supply and marketing cooperative and send it directly to the city's non-staple food supply department. However, the city's non-staple food supply is also short of supply, but the county supply and marketing cooperative can send it. We sell the products and Secretary Yan does the performance. This is a win-win situation, no one is helping anyone.”

Gu Mancang nodded repeatedly and tried to ask: "Then...when are we going to order machines and glass bottles?"

"We can prepare now," Zhu Xiaomin said, "but before the machines and glass bottles come back, we need to do some infrastructure here."

"What infrastructure?" Gu Mancang asked.

"The venue." Zhu Xiaomin replied, "Producing canned food is different from last year's candied haws. We can't just do it in the yard. We need a factory to ensure hygiene."

Gu Mancang asked: "How about at the base? There is still such a large area." After speaking, he shook his head, "The base is too far away, and we will have to use manpower to pick it out."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "There are both sheep and chickens in the base. Although we clean up diligently, there is still a smell. The most important thing in food processing is hygiene, so we can't leave it there."

Gu Mancang nodded and smiled bitterly: "Most of our land is mountainous, and some of the flat land is used to grow food. Where can we find a large area?"

Zhu Xiaomin said with a smile: "It's just a machine with more than a dozen stoves."

Gu Mancang said "Hmm" and glanced at her after thinking about it.

Zhu Xiaomin was surprised: "What did the secretary think of?"

Gu Mancang coughed and said, "The backyard of your educated youth spot is pretty good."

Zhu Xiaomin: "..."

That won't work!

Seeing her face wrinkle up for a moment, Gu Mancang asked, "Isn't it possible?"

Zhu Xiaomin smiled bitterly: "Secretary, I am racking my brains here to develop our brigade, but why is it that the Secretary has come to cut off the livelihood of our educated youth group?"

When she said it, Gu Mancang also laughed and asked: "Since you have already thought about this plan, you have thought about the place you want to go."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded and pointed to the backyard of the brigade headquarters: "There is a piece of flat land next to the big kitchen. I thought it would be better to open up the back wall of the big kitchen, so that both the big kitchen and the canteen can be used."

Gu Mancang asked: "There is only land as big as a palm, can it be done?"

Zhu Xiaomin said: "We are just starting now. As long as there is a place where the machine can be placed and everyone can afford the work."

Gu Mancang took out a dry cigarette and lit it. He smoked for a while and then sighed and said, "I will ask other cadres for their opinions on this matter later."
