When Lu Liangzhou left, he was shocked to realize that time passed so fast and it seemed that there were still a lot of things to do.
Lu Liangzhou contacted me about raw melon seeds, but the time was wrong. Apart from seeds, the Corps warehouse did not store much of these things. I basically ran out of food around the Chinese New Year.
Regardless of whether it is raw, cooked or spiced, this stuff is consumed very quickly.
But I still got more than 5,000 kilograms, but that's all. If you want to harvest melon seeds, you have to wait until autumn.
He also asked Gu Mingtang if he wanted to make an agreement with the people in the Corps to plant sunflowers. Gu Mingtang thought it was feasible and had originally intended to do so, but she couldn't change the brigade's planting plan, so Lu Liangzhou took her to see the old leader and signed an agreement to purchase raw melon seeds. .
When Lu Liangzhou left, Gu Mingtang prepared five bottles of spicy meat sauce and twenty salted duck eggs for him. He also made a simple version of instant noodles, which was just the size that a lunch box could fit. A bottle of seasoning was soaked and put on top. The spicy meat sauce is sprinkled with a spoonful of seasoning. Although it doesn't taste like instant noodles, it tastes better than instant noodles.
Lu Liangzhou, who was sitting on the train, was asked by the envious conductor and passengers where he bought it. With a smile in his eyes, he said, "My wife made it for me."
Wow, I'm so jealous.
This wife is so capable.
Lu Liangzhou nodded, his wife was indeed capable.
Even he didn't expect that the Lingxi Brigade would build a kindergarten, and it would be completed soon.
Gu Mingtang also whispered to him that in fact, she was only doing this for Ah Hui and Xue Yan.
So, if Ah Hui and Xue Yan do not leave the Lingxi Brigade, should Tangtang build a primary school, a middle school and a university?
Gu Mingtang has no lofty ambitions, but she has been very busy these days. She is holding a meeting in the county to report on the women's work of the Lingxi Brigade.
After May Day, after Mrs. Niu was taken away, and after her daughter-in-law and son divorced, those bad phenomena seemed to have suddenly stopped.
Mainly because of fear.
They all discovered that Director Gu's melodrama took away several people at a time, just like the thief who didn't leave empty-handed, which was a bit scary.
For this reason, Secretary Chen took advantage of this momentum and also wanted to curry favor with Gu Mingtang, so he wrote an article and submitted it to the Women's Newspaper in the provincial capital.
Unexpectedly, it was published in the first edition.
When Gu Mingtang went to the county, Sister Qian said, "Tangtang, the Provincial Women's Federation asked me to train you well, haha, I'm embarrassed to say that, there is nothing wrong with me."
"Why not? Chairman Qian has good leadership."
Sister Qian glanced at her and said with a smile, "Tell me, what happened this time?"
"We are so close to the grassland, it would be a shame not to take advantage of it."
"How do you want to use it?"
"I want the County Women's Federation to take the lead, and the Xiangyang Commune Women's Federation to assist, to open a sweater processing factory."
Sister Qian was stunned.
Can you still open a sweater processing factory?
Why does it sound so unreliable, but yet so fresh?
Who knows how to knit a sweater, and where does the yarn come from?
"Can it be done? Not to mention that this thing is not easy to knit. The wool is still based on tickets. Whatever color you encounter is the color. Last winter, I wanted to buy a red wool scarf for my daughter to knit. But it was the Chinese New Year and the red wool didn't come in. I asked Manager, he said the supply is not good."
"Now there are woolen mills in Mobei that are famous all over the country. You can place orders with them. Of course, maybe this order will be scheduled until next year. Then we can apply to build a branch factory. Our Corps has a machinery bureau that can process and produce Wool machines, with wool, can be processed into various wool products, such as sweaters, scarves, hats and gloves, and can also organize women to take jobs, such as how much does it cost to knit a scarf, how much does it cost to knit a sweater, Sister Qian, What we wear most in Beihuang every year is sweaters and woolen pants. In the middle of winter, who can live without scarves and hats? We only sell to the three northern provinces, and those are not small numbers..."
Gu Mingtang felt that if he wanted to become bigger and stronger, he had to have this kind of real economy. He could develop his own business while southern brands did not occupy the market.
We must break the monopoly of southern clothing.
Not only do they have a monopoly, but their prices are also extremely high. After all, shipping costs are not low these days.
So, why should we sacrifice the near for the far.
Sister Qian was persuaded, and after Gu Mingtang left, she went to find Zhou County without stopping.
Upon hearing this plan, Zhou County's thoughts changed.
He asked Lao Qian, "What is your original intention?"
"Gu Mingtang said that it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. If you want to improve the status of women, it does not mean that you can support her when she is beaten. It will always treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. Only women can truly become independent. , have their own career, have their own income, and then have their own ideas. At that time, the status of women will truly improve..."
Gu Mingtang also mentioned other things, such as male chauvinism, lack of respect for women, and the belief that women are accessories. These are all obstacles that hinder the improvement of women's status.
But I haven’t told Zhou County about this yet.
To be honest, many men actually have machismo.
She knew this very well.
Zhou Xian said, "We will study this matter. You can go back first."
After Gu Mingtang gave this tempting but difficult-to-implement plan to Sister Qian, he went to the crafts factory to find Director Kang.
But before Gu Mingtang could say who he was looking for, the guard at the door said, "Director Gu, Director Kang went to the commune to look for you. You guys have gone astray."
Director Kang simply refused to leave and waited at Lingxi Brigade.
Gu Mingtang went to the private house where melon seeds were processed. His sister and eldest brother were busy here, but Director Kang was not in a hurry and had to dry him out.
Gu Mingtang was busy here until the afternoon, and then followed his eldest brother and the others back home.
The bicycle Gu Qingshan was riding was a second-hand one that Qi Gang had gotten. It was cheap and OK to use. The road was easy to walk now and he reached Lingxi Brigade very quickly by bicycle.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw Director Kang and the team leader squatting and talking.
Seeing Gu Mingtang, Director Kang lost all his complaints and immediately smiled. He didn't talk around in circles and just said that the sample Xiaohai sent passed.
An additional order of 500 copies each was placed.
Before plastic storage boxes became popular, this one woven with corn leaves could last for several years.
That's enough.
Not to mention a futon.
In fact, in the field of handicraft weaving, the north has little advantage, and the market is basically occupied by the south.
In the south, there are not only corn leaves, but also rattan bamboo, and weaving materials are abundant.
The two sides quickly reached an agreement, and the Lingxi Brigade received half of the orders originally promised by Factory Director Kang. The Brigade Captain and Gu Mingtang would definitely not fight an unprepared battle.
After all, if you take the order, you will lose money if you fail to complete it.
In a word, if you don’t have diamonds, you won’t dare to do porcelain work.
The Lingxi brigade has more than 100 people with weaving skills.
Among them, there are 68 people with good skills.
The ratio of men to women is basically half and half.
