Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

It was another boring day. No one quarreled with He Xi today, and no one came to pick a fight. It seemed that they were holding it in and would explode during the regular meeting.

As expected, He Xi was tinkering with her goods in the rented courtyard. Self-heating hot pots were selling well recently, so she restocked a lot of stock.

Wang Qiang was still standing at the same place as yesterday waiting for He Xi, but his expression today was much colder than yesterday, probably because of the disappointment.

Every time Wang Qiang stood up and looked in the direction where He Xi was coming, the brothers behind him would stand up and stretch their heads to look as well. If they didn't see him, they would squat down and chat together. This went on for many times until Wang Qiang gradually lost his patience.

Finally, he was the first to see He Xi appear at a familiar street corner, and called out to the people behind him: "Go, keep an eye on her and don't let her run away, she's a dishonest liar."

He Xi was still concentrating on driving the carriage, completely unaware that she had become a "dishonest person". The song she hummed expressed her inner joy.

"The young boss is here. It's been a long time since we last met."

He Xi recognized the man, he was one of Wang Qiang's men: "Yes, I went on a long trip and worked two days."

As the carriage got closer, she could clearly see Wang Qiang's "resentful" eyes. He kept staring at He Xi, which made her feel scared. Did she not provoke him?

"Hey, how can you, a busy technician like Mr. He, find time to visit our small business?"

He Xi listened to his extremely annoying tone and frowned slightly: "If it wasn't for making money, I would never pay attention to you."

"Humph." Wang Qiang turned 180 degrees, leaned against the wall again, and said in a cool tone: "Ditto."

He Xi ignored the childish "hawker leader" and continued to move forward until the carriage stopped precisely in his yard, and called on others to prepare to unload the goods.

Everyone is curious about the self-heating hot pot. What is the principle of heating the food and how can there be so many flavors to choose from?

Spicy tender beef, crispy beef tripe, tomato beef brisket, tomato (spicy) crispy pork, spicy vegetarian food, beef in red sour soup, spicy braised chicken feet, pepper pork tripe and chicken, old Chengdu flavor, fat juicy tomatoes, spicy meatballs self-cooked hot pot.

More than ten choices, seven days a week.

After all the goods were unloaded, Wang Qiang still maintained his previous cool expression, standing not too far away and waiting for the people present. His swallowing throat revealed his true feelings.

The self-heating pot was ready in fifteen minutes. He pretended to tidy up his clothes, combed his hair, and looked down at the uppers of his shoes. After making sure that there were no problems, he slowly walked towards the dining table. This was no different from attending a banquet.

Wang Qiang looked at the self-heating hot pot and spoke in a voice that still deserved a beating: "Ha, Technician He is really a technician from the Ministry of Agriculture. Everything can be turned into food in your hands. If you can't make a big one, just make a simplified version."

He Xi just remained silent about his sarcasm and ignored him for a while.

After a while, Wang Qiang's cool attitude obviously weakened, and he took the initiative to talk to He Xi: "Hey, is Beijing fun?"

He Xi remained silent and ate quietly.

“How does Peking duck taste?”

“Are things expensive in Beijing?”

"What do you think about moving my business to Beijing when the world is peaceful in the future?"

He Xi's silence made Wang Qiang lose all his temper.

I don’t know if it was because the self-heating hotpot was too delicious or they didn’t want to get involved, but Wang Qiang’s voice was the only one heard at the table, and then he gradually became quiet.

After paying the bill, Wang Qiang nodded with great satisfaction. He could finally sell the goods. His downstream buyers had been chasing him for a long time and knew that he had rice, flour, grain and oil, but he ran out of stock recently.

He also asked He Xi if he had other clients. He Xi didn't think much and stretched out three white fingers, telling him that there were only three including him.

After hearing this, Wang Qiang nodded. She hoped that He Xi could treat everyone equally.

He Xi: Why did you think of "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?

As expected, the system was monitoring He Xi's life every day, and gave her a complete book of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" when she signed in at night.

Okay, let’s take a look, and no one will say a word.

Daily tasks completed today.

The next morning when she went to work, He Xi started to prepare a speech in her mind. There was a regular meeting today. Her village was quite famous, but because He Xi was now a mid-level technician, they had always been talking behind her back. But today was different. She might have to be criticized throughout the Ministry of Agriculture.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs holds its regular meeting once a week as usual, and the meeting is currently in progress.

Minister Jiang clasped his hands with the watch on them on the table, looking at the people present with a half-smile, his eyes sweeping over each one of them: "Okay, since everyone is here, let's start the meeting now."

The content of the meeting still focused on the work of existing greenhouses and how to increase the output of processing plants.

The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Naturally, He Xi would not be the first to speak. No matter what the first person to speak says, it would be wrong. Not saying anything would make it difficult for him to go to work.

The production problem of the processing plant is really difficult. For example, the deep processing of blueberries. In previous years, we never thought about processing. Now suddenly we want to set up a factory and we want to increase the production. Where can we "steal" the blueberries?

Everyone expressed a lot of opinions, but none of them was feasible. He Xi sneered after listening. This was not a brainless article to highlight her IQ, so who was the one without a brain?

The order changed unexpectedly quickly and soon it was He Xi's turn. How come they still took turns to speak?

He Xi remained silent like everyone else so it was the next person to speak, but Minister Jiang and Deputy Director Zhang did not intend to let He Xi go, especially Deputy Director Zhang.

Deputy Director Zhang said in a sarcastic tone: "No, no matter who is speaking, you, the technician, have to speak."

Why should I spoil you?

He Xi: "What's wrong? Is it because I get paid more or are you targeting me again?"

Deputy Director Zhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How could that be? We just hope that Technician He will be fair in his words and deeds and not form a clique."

He Xi: "How could that be? Why wouldn't you? You are targeting me."

Deputy Director Zhang focused his eyes and squinted at He Xi. He Xi looked at his squinting eyes that were about to close, and couldn't help but feel curious, can he still see?

He Xi chose to treat people with bad intentions in the same way, so let's squint our eyes together. No matter how you look at it, her eyes are bigger than his.

Let’s squint our eyes, big eyes and small eyes.

After squinting for a while, Director Sun stepped in to mediate: "Okay, let's play for a while. He Xi, tell me what you think."

He Xi: "First of all, I have always been fair and impartial. I have never responded to other people's accusations. There is no point in explaining something that did not happen." Then he changed the subject and said, "The output may not be increased, but seasonal industries can be implemented."

"The processing factory processes wild vegetables and mountain products in spring and summer, and alcoholic beverages and canned goods in autumn and winter. There are also dehydrated vegetables, which can be dried in the sun when not in use and eaten in soaking water when busy. Now, the vegetables that cannot be sold can be dried and pickled."

Seeing He Xi speak, the other technicians breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that their slacking life was really over.

Originally, they only had to worry about agriculture from early summer to early winter, but now they have to take care of all four seasons, and they really have to take care of everything equally, focusing on both greenhouses and processing plants.
