"My brother asked me to come here and said he would help you teach people to drive tractors." Fang Zhuoyue looked around and asked, "Who wants to learn how to drive a tractor?"
Lin Mai pointed at Li Mingcheng and said: "He."
Fang Zhuoyue showed his disappointment without hesitation: "Why isn't she a girl? It's disappointing!"
The corners of Li Mingcheng's mouth twitched, as if he liked male teachers.
Fang Zhuoyue drove a tractor and took Li Mingcheng to find an open place to learn how to tractor.
The two of them didn't come back until after five o'clock in the afternoon.
Lin Mai treated Fang Zhuoyue as an honored guest and personally cooked many delicious dishes to entertain him.
Fang Zhuoyue ate happily.
Fang Zhuoran glanced at his younger brother: "Don't just know how to eat, how are you teaching him?"
Fang Zhuoyue held a spiced pig's trotter and gnawed on it: "That guy Li Mingcheng is not bad. He can drive it by himself after just one afternoon of learning. After a few more days of learning, it will be no problem to hit the road."
Fang Zhuoran said: "Then you teach him for a few more days until he learns it."
Fang Zhuoyue nodded readily.
Lin Mai asked: "Don't you have to go to work?"
Fang Zhuoyue snorted: "Our dilapidated factory is suitable for retirement. Whether you go to work or not is the same thing.
Anyway, I still receive my salary, and I won’t starve to death even if I don’t have enough to eat.”
Lin Mai was stunned for a moment.
You should know that Wang Rong and Fang Ting only have high school education, but one works in the power department and the other works in the Tobacco Bureau, both of which are good companies.
She heard Fang Zhuoran mention that Fang Zhuoyue was a college graduate, so how could he work in a unit with such poor efficiency?
After Fang Zhuoyue left, she asked the questions in her heart.
Fang Zhuoran told her that after Fang Zhuoyue graduated, Fang Weiguo wanted to place him in the petroleum system.
But Fang Zhuomo refused. He would rather obey the school's assignments and work in whichever unit he was assigned to. He firmly did not want his parents to interfere in his life.
Lin Mai praised: "Your brother is quite ambitious and doesn't rely on his family."
Fang Zhuoran smiled and said nothing.
He wants ambition in front of his parents, but he only wants money in front of his eldest brother.
Early the next morning, Lin Mai packed half of the bacon and salted duck that Fang Zhuoran brought back from Hunan, and took them to Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang.
He also brought the chrysanthemum stone craft with big chrysanthemums that Fang Zhuoran bought from Hunan to the old couple.
The old couple like the chrysanthemum stone very much, especially the old lady, who can't put it down.
Lin Mai harvested the corn, had lunch at Grandpa Fang's house and returned to Jiangcheng.
As soon as her tractor drove into Jiefang Road, a neighbor stopped her and tipped her off with anxious expressions.
"Maizi, it's not good. You were reported for reselling corn. Now the district chief has brought people to investigate and collect evidence from your employees."
"Hurry up and hide the tractor somewhere. If the district chief sees this tractor full of corn, he might call the police immediately to arrest you!"
Lin Mai didn't know what was going on for a moment. She was about to turn around the tractor and avoid it until she could figure out the situation, when she saw a man running out of her snack bar.
Pointing at her and shouting: "Comrade, don't leave!"
Lin Mai had no choice but to stop.
The neighbors surrounding her tractor all said in frustration: "It's over, we can't run away!"
In less than a minute, the man ran up to Lin Mai with a very kind attitude: "Comrade, we are just here to investigate the situation, don't be afraid."
The next moment, Lin Mai followed the man into his snack bar.
Zhou Caiyun and the others all stood in the store uneasily.
The man introduced Lin Mai to a man in his forties who was particularly well-dressed: "This is our district chief Ouyang."
District Chief Ouyang smiled kindly, made a gesture of invitation, asked Lin Mai to sit down opposite him, and asked: "How did you come up with the idea of bringing agricultural products to the city to sell?"
Of course it is profitable.
But the truth cannot be told.
Lin Mai said seriously: "Every time I go back to the countryside, I see that the villagers are worried because they cannot sell their agricultural products, and I feel especially sorry for them.
That’s why I thought of selling agricultural products in the city, just to help the villagers.”
District Chief Ouyang praised: "Good comrade!"
He asked again: "What difficulties do you face when selling agricultural products? Just tell me."
Lin Mai smiled shyly and said: "These are just minor difficulties. Just overcome them yourself and you won't bother the district chief. The district chief also has a lot of things to do every day."
"You can also report small difficulties to me and I will solve them for you."
Lin Mai then said: "The difficulty is, there is actually only one, and there is no place to do business.
When I go to the community to sell, some residents won't let me sell it, so I sell it on the street, which also affects traffic.
It would be great if the state-owned food market gave me two stalls."
"This is easy to handle. I will solve it for you in two days."
Standing behind the district chief, a man in his thirties wearing glasses hurriedly wrote down these few sentences in a small notebook to prevent them from being forgotten.
The district chief chatted with Lin Mai for a while, thanked her for selling agricultural products to farmers, and then left with his staff.
Many neighbors felt happy for Lin Mai when they saw that not only was she unharmed, but she was also praised by the district mayor.
He deliberately stood in front of her store and said sarcastically: "Some people have evil intentions, and all they think about is how to plot against others.
It's a pity that Xiao Lin is a lucky person. Not only was he not successfully plotted, but he was a blessing in disguise and was praised by the district chief."
Some neighbors deliberately asked: "Who do you think the person who reported Xiao Lin would be?"
Someone responded like a compliment: "Of course he is the person who has a grudge against Xiao Lin!"
Everyone looked at Aunt Hu's house and then at Chun Xing's house.
Chun Xing immediately jumped to her feet and said: "What are you looking at? It's not me who reported it!"
The crowd didn't argue with her, but their faces said "There is no three hundred taels of silver here".
Seeing that no one believed her, Chun Xing was furious.
Aunt Hu was secretly happy when she saw that everyone was suspicious of Chun Xing.
Lin Mai asked Li Mingcheng to hand out the corn to the order list.
From now on, all these tasks will be done by him. From now on, he has to learn.
Many neighbors gathered around Lin Mai and asked: "Xiao Lin, when will you invite the master who makes the barbecue cart for us?
Without a grill cart, grilling corn on a barbecue grill consumes too much charcoal and the cost is too high!”
Lin Mai thought that after hanging them for a while, he could make them realize that he was not as easy to talk to as they thought, so he could let Master Zhang appear.
So I pretended to think for a while: "Then I will call the master for you now."
Lin Mai went to his own small western-style building across the street and told Master Zhang that many people wanted to customize a barbecue cart for him.
Master Zhang asked: "Are those people all your acquaintances?"
Lin Mai understood what he meant: "Although we are acquaintances, we have no friendship. We are just neighbors. You don't need to look at my face.
I have already told them that it costs twenty-five yuan to customize a barbecue cart, so you can give them a discount of one or two yuan depending on the situation."
Master Zhang nodded gratefully: "I understand."
He made a baking cart for Lin Mai and only charged her fifteen yuan, making a net profit of five yuan for one car.
Lin Mai told others it was twenty-five yuan, not because he wanted him to earn more.
Lin Mai took Master Zhang to the other side of the street, where they were surrounded by bosses who wanted to order a grilled cart.
Lin Mai introduced: "This is Master Zhang, who makes barbecue carts. If you have anything to discuss with him." After that, he separated from the encirclement and left.
She couldn't help Master Zhang bargain with the neighbors, as that would easily lead to people misunderstanding that she and Master Zhang were on the same team, digging holes to deceive people, which would be self-defeating.
She stayed out of the situation to help Master Zhang.
