After the homemade mooncakes from Canglang Village were put on sale online, they were sold out in no time.

Bulk mooncakes have the best sales.

In the context of economic downturn, the homemade mooncakes they launched quickly captured the market with their extremely high cost-effectiveness, and also attracted a large number of repeat customers with their super high reputation.

Yan Jie and Shen Yingyu looked at the growing orders and did not blindly expand the production of mooncakes.

The villagers all have some farm work to do.

In order to ensure the quality and quantity of mooncakes without delaying the harvest, they decided to start work at 2 a.m., limit production to 3,000 mooncakes per day, and complete the day's work before 10 p.m. at the latest.

In the morning, Jiang Hexi was still driving a tractor to plow the land when he heard a sharp hissing sound coming from the village loudspeaker. Then the village chief began to speak:

"Hello, I'm the village chief. Let me announce something."

"According to reliable information from above, inspectors from civilized villages and towns have already begun conducting unannounced visits to various villages."

"This evaluation is related to the development plan of Canglang Village in the next ten years. We cannot afford to be careless. If anyone dares to make a mistake at this critical juncture and bring shame to our village, I will be the first one to not let him go!"

"The village committee has sent out teams of children to guard the entrances of each village. Once a strange face appears, they will report the news back to the village committee, and then the village cadres will make unified arrangements."

"Those of you with buzz cuts whose hair hasn't grown out yet, remember to wear your straw hats when you go to work in the fields and cover your hair tightly..."

Jiang Hexi was lying on the steering wheel, listening intently, when someone suddenly knocked on the driver's door. She turned around to look at Yan Jie who was standing outside, lowered the car window and said:

"Prince Yan, what's wrong?"

“What are you doing parking your tractor here?”

"Listen to what's being said on the radio. The village chief is making a big fuss about not allowing this and not allowing that. Is the civilized village evaluation so important?"

Yan Jie checked the influence of the award online:

"If Canglang Village is selected, it will be promoted nationwide as a typical demonstration village. Do you think this will be a great help to the village's tourism resources that are in urgent need of development?"

Jiang Hexi understood and said, "We need to strive hard for it. Is this evaluation difficult?"

“There are only a little over a thousand places available nationwide.”

Yan Jie thought for a moment and said, "It's difficult to say, but it's not difficult to say either. It all depends on how the village committee performs."

The village chief was still saying on the loud speaker, "No defecation in the bushes," when he heard a child's urgent cry in the background of the broadcasting room:

“Here they come… Village Chief… They are coming——!”

After the microphone was covered, a series of lingering "buzzing" sounds were heard.

In the short ten seconds that passed, everyone turned to look at the big loudspeaker hanging on the telephone pole.

The village chief spoke with a strong local accent, changing his previous arrogant and overbearing tone, imitating the tone of the announcers on TV and reading:

"The above content is excerpted from the novella written by Li Youtian, a fish farmer in the village. It contains some wonderful content from Chapter 12 of "My Village Chief Neighbor". Edited by Song Yanan and broadcast by Zhou Guangzheng."

In order to avoid exposing his true colors, the village chief continued to maintain a stable situation and said:

"Next, please listen to the poem recitation, "Remembering My Brothers on a Moonlit Night" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty. The sentry drum stops people from walking, a wild goose cries in the autumn at the border, the dew starts to turn white tonight, the moon is bright in my hometown... Today's noon cultural learning time ends here. Thank you for listening, folks, and see you next time."

The village chief decisively cut off the broadcast.

Yan Jie looked at the big speaker on the electric pole and sighed:

"It turns out that not everyone can be the village chief. If it were someone else, their hearts would have exploded long ago."

Jiang Hexi had completely different ideas from his. "So the village chief's name is Zhou Guangzheng."

[This is such a funny reversal!!! The village chief can still make up for it after shouting through a loud speaker. It's amazing! ]

[There are ten minutes left before the end of the class. The students in the back row all laughed so hard that they fell on their chairs. The professor caught the students who were secretly watching the farming variety show.]

[Village tyrant Li Youtian: What the hell? I was feeding the fish in the pond. When did I start writing a novel? And you call me the village chief as your neighbor. Isn't that disgusting?]

[The village chief was cursing and shouting before, but when he knew the undercover investigators were coming, he immediately changed his tone to literary style. The poem he read gave me goose bumps all over the floor! ]

After Jiang Hexi gave the tractor to Yan Jie, he got out of the cab.

She looked back and saw Director Chen running towards her from a distance.

"What's wrong, Director Chen?"

"Hurry up and answer the phone, village chief."

Jiang Hexi took the phone from him and immediately answered:

"Village Chief, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Sister Xi, I need your help with something urgent. We can't afford to waste even a minute. Please go to the camphor tree at the entrance of East Village!"

"Don't worry, just talk slowly. I'll rush to the camphor tree at the entrance of the village now."

The village chief took a sip of water, took a breath, and continued:

"The inspection team went to the camphor tree for a secret visit. Although Aunt Cui is a centenarian, she knows what to say and what not to say. But Grandma Xiang has a mouth that can't be sewn shut with a needle. She talks nonsense all day long about other people's private affairs!"

Jiang Hexi didn't dare to raise any objection to this, "Didn't you warn Grandma Xiang when you held the mobilization meeting before?"

"If warnings were useful, she would still be a famous gossip in the village?"

The village chief's evaluation of Granny Xiang was very insightful:

"You who are in the grandma circle must know that when Grandma Xiang was talking nonsense, Grandma Cui always tried to persuade her. But was it any use? She just responded on the surface, but she still said the same thing. She even liked to chat with strangers. Don't you think this is infuriating?"

Jiang Hexi agreed with this deeply. It turned out that the people who understood Grandma Xiang best were those who had been hurt by her.

"Village Chief, have you never thought of an emergency plan for this situation?"

"Yes, my plan is to lock up all these troublemakers at home on the day of the secret visit and not let them come out."

When the village chief said this, he became extremely annoyed.

"Who knew these inspectors would come here without any notice? They said they were conducting a secret inspection, and they really did come for a secret inspection!"

Jiang Hexi deeply felt his helplessness and hung up the phone in a hurry.

When she arrived at the camphor tree, Grandma Xiang actually pulled three strangers to sit on small stools and chatted about village gossip.

Judging from the situation, it seems that the conversation has just begun.

Jiang Hexi kept comforting herself that she came early and everything was still in time.

When she walked to the foot of the tree and pulled out a small stool to sit down, she heard Granny Xiang speak to the three strangers sitting around her in an extremely mysterious tone:

"I'm telling you, you can go anywhere in the village, but you can't go to the shallow water alone."

"Mother-in-law, why is this?"

Granny Xiang came up to them and broke the news: "In the early years, many people drowned in that shallow water, and they were all outsiders like you."

Jiang Hexi's brain froze on the spot.

She prayed to God to send a lightning bolt to kill her. How could this place be saved? !
