Military marriage, the last big man married the soldier king, the stronger the stronger

Jiang Yan quickly picked up her soda and said, "Uncle, you are making me feel embarrassed."

"Why are you embarrassed? This is what you deserve." He looked at Bao Shengli with his tiger eyes, "Shengli, let me ask you, do you admire Xiao Jiang, the educated youth?"

"I admire you." Bao Shengli quickly raised his glass as well. "If you ask me who I admire the most, it must be Xiao Jiang, the educated youth."

He said sincerely, "My father and I were both saved by the educated youth Xiao Jiang. You are our savior. If you say I don't admire you, who should I admire?"

Speaking of this, Li Caiying was full of gratitude. If it weren't for Jiang Yan, her son and grandson would have encountered accidents one after another. Who could bear this blow?

"Xiao Jiang, you are truly the most special and powerful educated youth I have ever met."

Bao Zhiguo was very emotional. "Before you came, I felt that the educated youth in the city were weak and incapable of carrying heavy loads, and could not endure any hardship. They daydreamed about returning to the city all day long. But after you came, I realized that there are also educated youth like you, who care about the country and the members of the commune, and want to stay here to do something practical for us. I won't say anything more. I'll toast you a glass."

Jiang Yan clinked glasses with him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and Bao Shengli drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp.

"Little Jiang, you eat dumplings."

The four of them talked while they ate, and Bao Zhiguo also took the opportunity of today's meal to talk to Jiang Yan about the subsequent work direction of the commune.

"It's almost the end of the year. We have a good harvest this year, so the value of work points can be higher. After distributing money and grain, we should kill the New Year pig according to the custom in previous years. If everyone has nothing to do, they should prepare for the New Year, but this year is different."

Jiang Yan knew that he was going to talk about the fish pond.

"I've been to the fish pond and saw that the fish are growing very fast. I didn't expect that." Bao Zhiguo was also very excited, but he had no experience in sales. Even if he sold the fish in the name of a collective, he was still unsure.

"Uncle, are you asking how to sell this fish? How to divide it?"

"It's mainly about selling fish. I'm not sure about it. As for how to divide it, I know it very well."

Bao Zhiguo told Jiang Yan about his ideas.

"We held a small meeting, worked out a plan, and it has been unanimously approved. The money from selling this batch of fish is mainly used to repay debts. You paid for the construction of the fish pond. You can't just sell the fish and not pay me back!"

At this point, Bao Zhiguo still had a hint of embarrassment on his face. It was still unclear whether the fish could be sold! Even if it was sold, there was probably no way to pay back Jiang Yan's investment in one go.

Take the water pump for example, how much does it cost?

And there's this osmotic membrane thing, I've never heard of it.

"There's no rush to pay back the money. In my opinion, we can make preparations for both scenarios."

Bao Zhiguo immediately perked up and said, "Tell me about it."

"In my opinion, fish ponds can certainly make money, but it would be better to establish an industry closely related to fish farming. Selling fish alone can only make a limited amount of money. What can really make members rich is the secondary industry, such as secondary processing of products."

Bao Zhiguo was confused. What did secondary processing mean?

"For example, this grilled fish fillet is a snack. It tastes great and can be made with a very simple method. This snack is relatively rare nowadays, so it should have no problem selling."

The three of them had never heard of it.

"Is there no supply and marketing cooperative?"

"Could there be any in a department store? I've never heard of one."

Bao Zhiguo was very interested in the grilled fish fillet and felt that it should be very profitable, but he also felt that this thing was far away from them.

"Xiao Jiang, how do you make this grilled fish fillet?"

“This thing is not difficult to make, the difficult part is the packaging.”

"Package?"

Jiang Yan nodded. "Yes, you see, the milk powder and malted milk we bought all have packaging boxes. The grilled fish fillets should also have them. They need to be kept fresh using a vacuum machine."

Jiang Yan told Bao Zhiguo about the entire production process and packaging.

Bao Zhiguo shook his head. He knew there was no hope when he heard it. Such a complicated process required so much equipment to be purchased. With the current financial resources of the Victory Brigade, it was simply impossible to build it.

If they really want to set up a small workshop factory, they have to do it in the town. It is too unrealistic to set it up in their countryside.

"If this doesn't work, we can expand the fish pond area and train a group of fish farmers to give members an extra source of income. Raising fish during normal times counts as work points. During holidays, we can give out one or two fish as a reward. At the end of the year, when the fish are sold, we can keep a reserve fund and pay off debts. The rest will all be distributed to members according to their work points."

Bao Zhiguo's eyes sparkled as he listened. "He is a cultured man after all. He speaks so well."

"Xiao Jiang, how do we sell the fish?"

Jiang Yan smiled mysteriously, "This is not simple..."

She gave Bao Zhiguo some advice, saying that, in general, the value created collectively is reasonable and legal.

The town leaders have much better connections than Bao Zhiguo. They can just find a unit to give the fish as a New Year benefit. With such a small amount of fish, they have no problem selling it.

Bao Zhiguo suddenly realized, "This is a good idea. I should go to the town more often while I have time before the New Year. I understand."

He poured himself another glass of wine and said, "Xiao Jiang, the educated youth, I toast to you." After saying that, he drank another glass of wine.

Li Caiying said unhappily, "Xiao Jiang, the educated youth, doesn't drink, but you drink one cup after another. Are you greedy?"

Bao Zhiguo chuckled twice, "I'm happy today."

"Xiao Jiang, you are amazing. Do you guys learn this in school?"

"I prefer reading books. Books contain all kinds of knowledge."

Speaking of this, Li Caiying felt very regretful. She gave birth to four children, none of whom were good at studying and got a headache when they saw textbooks.

It's okay if they are just three brats. As long as they work hard, they can always have something to eat.

What should I do with my daughter?

Bao Fang is only fourteen years old and has just entered junior high school. Nowadays, no one values ​​studying enough.

"Uncle, what are your plans for Xiao Zhiqing and Su Yun?"

This was the most important topic of conversation today. At least Bao Zhiguo could understand what Jiang Yan meant.

These two people cannot be let off easily. They have been causing trouble again and again and have crossed Jiang Zhiqing's bottom line.

"Of course I think they should be taught a lesson." Bao Zhiguo said, "But Jiang Zhiqing, I'm too busy at the end of the year. It won't sound good for a grown man like me to be nitpicking with an educated youth! And Su Yun, after all, was once a member of my family, this..."

His meaning was very clear, and Jiang Yan understood it. "Thank you, uncle." She held up the big bowl and said, "Here's a toast to you."

The two clinked their glasses happily and never mentioned Su Yun and Xiao Yan again.

After dinner, Jiang Yan went home by herself.

Bao Zhiguo was confused. "Dad, what are you and Jiang Zhiqing talking about?"

He always felt that there was something that these two people had not said clearly.

"You! You're not even close!"

"So who are Su Yun and Xiao Yan..."

"Why do you care about that?"

Bao Zhiguo snorted softly, "Someone will always take care of them."
