Chapter 86: I Will Definitely Get This Done
Song Chu released Xie Hao, who had his arms twisted behind his back, and smiled at the two men.
“I’ve been taught a lesson!”
Boss Hu smiled and said, “Come, let’s go back inside and sit for a while.”
Song Chu didn’t refuse and followed the two men into the living room along with Song Lao Si.
Xie Hao even made tea for the two of them, a completely different treatment from before.
“Little comrade, have you practiced martial arts?” Xie Hao asked.
Song Chu smiled, “I’ve been strong since I was a child. I often got into fights in the village, so I learned from practice.”
Boss Hu, Xie Hao: “……”
They were speechless at this reason. Was this a normal daily routine for a pretty young girl?
Boss Hu chuckled awkwardly, “Haha, I see. Little comrade, you must be the best fighter in your village, right?”
Before Song Chu could speak, Song Lao Si proudly puffed out his chest, “Of course, my sister is the village bully of our village.”
“……” The corners of Boss Hu’s and Xie Hao’s mouths twitched.
Judging from Song Lao Si’s expression, he seemed very proud of his sister being the village bully. They were suddenly at a loss for words.
“Ahem, impressive!” Boss Hu gave a thumbs up in admiration. It was the first time they had heard of a female village bully.
He recalled Song Lao Si’s previous bragging, and now that he had met her in person, he basically believed it all.
“Little comrade, I heard that you not only opened an oil pressing workshop but are also building a breeding farm?” Boss Hu asked with great interest.
Song Chu smiled, “It’s not ‘going to be built,’ it’s already under construction. It should be officially operational by next month.”
The farm buildings will be completed next month, and all the chicks will have hatched.
Boss Hu lit a cigarette, “Little comrade, do you sell the chickens and other livestock from your breeding farm?”
Song Chu understood his meaning, “We do sell them, but we probably won’t go through the black market. We applied to become a collectively owned and state-operated farm.”
“For the next two years, we will probably only sell to state-owned units. In a couple of years, we can supply you.”
She didn’t need to put the breeding farm at risk for a slightly higher price. After all, if someone reported that their chickens and ducks were being traded on the black market and it was verified, it would be very troublesome.
The economy will be much more open in two years. After the reform and opening up in ’78, they can do it openly. That will be the best time for the breeding farm to develop.
As long as Boss Hu and the others don’t get reported and caught before then, they will generally become the first group of people to get rich under the reform trend, as they are bold, well-connected, and have channels.
She wants to establish a good relationship with Boss Hu and the others now to pave the way for the future.
Mainly, she wants her fourth brother to get involved so that when he officially enters the business world in the future, he can also accumulate a lot of connections and relationships.
Boss Hu said with some regret, “I see, that’s a bit of a pity.”
But he didn’t force it. Since it was a state-operated farm, selling to state-owned units would definitely be much safer, and he could understand that.
Song Chu smiled lightly, “But my family can cooperate with you and sell vegetables, fruits, and melons. I wonder if you’re interested?”
“Vegetables, fruits, and melons?” Boss Hu asked with a smile, “What do you have?”
Song Chu roughly listed the types of seeds Song Lao Si had bought, “These are the ones for now, and if nothing unexpected happens, there won’t be a shortage even in winter.”
Her father’s wooden boxes were almost ready, and soon the one-meter vegetable garden could be planted.
In winter, they will gather the wooden boxes and create greenhouse vegetables. She had met the director of the steel factory today, so she should be able to buy some steel to build frames.
Boss Hu was taken aback, “You can grow so many vegetables in winter too?”
Song Chu thought for a moment and replied, “At least half of the varieties can be guaranteed.”
“How do you grow them?” Boss Hu had never heard of this before.
◈◈◈
Song Chu smiled, “This is a method I heard from someone, so I can’t tell you for now.”
Boss Hu slapped his head, “Haha, pretend I didn’t ask.”
If they could really grow so many vegetables in winter, there must be some secret method, and naturally, she wouldn’t tell him.
“We’ll do this business. The price of vegetables is average now, but if there are many varieties, the price can be raised a bit.”
“If you really grow so many vegetables in winter, the price can definitely be multiplied several times.”
Song Chu thought the same, “Okay, then we’ll have my fourth brother deliver the vegetables we grow to you to sell.”
“No problem, when can you start delivering?” Boss Hu asked.
Song Chu replied, “About a month from now.”
Boss Hu nodded, “Alright, then I’ll be waiting for your vegetables.”
It’s difficult to buy meat in the city, and the variety of vegetables is relatively limited. By the afternoon, there are basically no vegetables left to buy. If there are many varieties, the sales will also be very good.
Song Chu emphasized, “But I have to emphasize one point: you can’t tell anyone about our cooperation.”
Boss Hu smiled and assured her, “Don’t worry, we know the rules of this business. We definitely won’t say anything.”
Having settled this matter, Song Chu left with Song Lao Si.
On their way back, Song Lao Si asked, “Sister, can we really grow so many vegetables in winter?”
Song Chu glanced at him, “Of course, would I boast about it if I couldn’t?”
“Hehe, of course, I believe you can do it. I’m just a little curious.” Song Lao Si scratched his head.
Song Chu looked at him with disdain, “Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand. You’re not cut out for growing vegetables.”
“……” Song Lao Si felt a blow.
When they got home, they saw Song Jianjun and Song Youfu fiddling with the wooden boxes. There were already more than a dozen in the courtyard.
“Chu Chu is back.” Song Jianjun looked up.
Song Youfu beckoned to Song Chu, “Yaobao, what do you think of these wooden boxes?”
Song Chu looked at them, “Not bad, Dad, your carpentry skills are really good. They look pretty good.”
Different methods should be used to transform different people. For someone like her father, who cared about his face, she had to praise him to make him proactive.
Sure enough, when Song Youfu heard her say this, he couldn’t stop smiling, “I just did it casually. It’s good that it works.”
Song Chu smiled and said, “Dad, you and Big Brother take good care of these vegetables. I’ve already made a deal with someone today. Once the vegetables are ready, we’ll take them to sell, and the price is pretty good.”
“When the vegetables are sold, keep 70% for household expenses, you take 20%, and Big Brother takes 10% as labor fees.”
Just praising him won’t work for long; there must be some incentives.
Song Youfu was stunned, “How did you make a deal already? Can we really grow them? Will we really get money?”
Poor thing, the money in this family was all kept by his wife. He was a commander without an army. If he could have some private money, he would be very tempted.
At least he could buy some candy for his grandnephews and give them some lucky money, which would give him some face.
Song Chu said, “If I say we can grow them, we can definitely grow them. Don’t worry, Dad. Work hard with Big Brother, and you’ll be collecting money every month. You are the pillar of our Old Song Family.”
Song Youfu looked at Song Chu with eyes full of fatherly love. It was the first time he had been trusted so much by his family. He nodded excitedly, “You’re right, I’m the pillar of our family. I will definitely get this done.”
