Chapter 140: Potato Business

As summer approaches, Mohe City starts to get hot, but not too hot, considering that it is cool here compared to other places.

Ever since that conversation seeking an explanation, the vast majority of poor villagers have been waiting for He Xi's next move.

Understanding potatoes is secondary. The most important thing is how to turn them into snacks and exchange them for money. That is what they are looking forward to.

Whenever the villagers of Team Six had time, they would wait at the entrance of their respective villages, waiting for He Xi to show up with her skills, but why hadn't she shown up in half a month?

That morning, He Xi worked in the office for a while, briefly dealt with a few urgent matters at hand, said a few words to the three people in his group, and then went to Minister Jiang's office.

Luo Hong put down the work in his hands, looked in the direction where He Xi left, and murmured: "Minister Jiang is quite honest, He Xi should not quarrel with him, right?"

Shen Chuan: "..."

Kong Li: “…”

Why don't you listen to what you're saying?

He Xi knocked twice on the door of Minister Jiang's office. When he heard the voice "Qin Jin" from inside, he slowly pushed the door open and walked in, then put it back in place.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw another person in the office. She looked pretty good, but I couldn't remember who she was. I had a feeling that she looked familiar, as if I had seen her somewhere.

Minister Jiang waved his hand to signal He Xi to wait for him. He Xi sat in a chair a little further away and listened to their conversation.

Minister Jiang: "I think your proposal is good. 'New Agriculture, New Development' is in line with our current trajectory. Greenhouses, processing plants, fruit trees, etc. are already different from traditional agriculture."

The woman nodded: "Yes, so our propaganda work this time is based on the starting point of "New Agriculture, New Development", which is in the bulletin boards, art performances and newspapers."

Propaganda work? Oh, Director Qin Su of the Propaganda Department.

Minister Jiang: "There will also be a cultural performance?"

Director Qin: "Yes, during the spring ploughing period, we can comfort the spiritual world of the broad masses of working people and escape from the monotonous rhythm of life for a short time. Our thoughts are imprisoned, but we must seek to liberate our thoughts in this imprisonment."

He Xi:?

is an interesting person.

The two of them chatted for a while, and when Director Qin stood up to leave, he greeted He Xi and said, "Good morning, Technician He. I haven't heard from you for a long time. Let me know when you start working, so we can have some fun after work."

He Xi nodded: "Right away."

Director Qin turned around and looked at Minister Jiang sympathetically and said, "May you be blessed."

Minister Jiang: It seems that there were not enough chrysanthemums in the water cup today, that’s why he wasn’t angry for a day!

"It's like this." He Xi stood up and walked to the seat where Director Qin had sat before and sat down. "I should also fulfill my promise to the Sixth Brigade. I've been busy recently and may not be able to work in the compound all day."

Hearing this, Minister Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes lit up, and he seemed a little surprised. He hoped that he was not here to quarrel, and it would be better for the little ancestor to stay away for a few more days.

He Xi briefly introduced to him the plan for the in-depth development of potatoes, extending from simple dried potatoes to delicious helpers in the kitchen and various flavored snacks.

Seeing his inquiring eyes, He Xi reluctantly said a few more words to him. The delicacies in the kitchen: potato starch: used for thickening, instead of flour to wrap food and fry it, potato vermicelli: the characteristic Heilongjiang Province Eugene potato vermicelli, can be used for stews, stir-fries and soups, potato flour: a kind of noodle, rich in various nutrients.

Snacks are even simpler, including baked hollow French fries, potato chips, solid original-cut French fries, whole pickled potatoes, and hash browns that can be used in state-owned restaurants, which need to be fried.

Minister Jiang couldn't help but look at He Xi in disbelief, doubting the truth of what she said.

How did she know so many ways to eat it? What had he been eating all these years? Wasn't it all the same coarse grains with occasional fine bran? Could it be that this was not what the child ate?

He Xi looked at Minister Jiang's "useless" appearance, felt sorry for him for a second, and asked, "Can I leave now?"

"Where?"

He Xi was speechless: "It seems that what I said before was in vain. I will go to the Sixth Brigade to guide the work."

Minister Jiang: "You go."

He Xi: “…”

She took the initiative to leave, even though it might only be for a few days, but it would give people a break. A little girl who kept asking others to leave would make them blush and angry. In her eyes, there was only the people who should be asked and those who should not be asked, not the leaders or not.

He Xi took out the document that he had just sorted out this morning and handed it to Minister Jiang: "Take a look at this first. It contains the names of the teams that are trying to plant new varieties this year, and most of them are corn."

Minister Jiang took the document and flipped through it. His relaxed brows knitted together. "Six of the sixteen brigades have planted the new variety of corn that the technicians researched this year? How much will we have to pay if something goes wrong?"

Seeing this, He Xi stood up and was about to leave. This was not something she had initiated, and if there was really a problem, she could just hold the relevant person in charge accountable. This matter was not her responsibility.

"Hey, just leaving?"

He Xi: "What else?"

He Xi left Minister Jiang's office and returned to her own office. She gave a few instructions. Luo Hong also wanted to go with her, so she simply took her with her.

He Xi drove the car and Luo Hong worked hard. Luo Hong rode with He Xi all the way to the location of the Sixth Brigade. Originally, since that day, they always had to have someone waiting at the entrance of the village for He Xi to show up. After a long time, no one was seen, so they stopped waiting today. In the end, he showed up.

On the way here, He Xi and Luo Hong discussed the issue of priority. There must always be a first-come-first-served order for what to develop first. Finally, they decided to develop daily necessities first. Snacks can be temporarily defined as dispensable commodities, but people have to eat them all day long.

He Xi and Luo Hong were standing on the land of the Sixth Brigade. Someone saw them, ran home, got a handy tool, and started knocking on the houses. They were so scared that they huddled together, their eyes full of panic. Did they violate the Heavenly Law?

Han Hou, the new captain of the Sixth Brigade, appeared upon hearing the voice and shook He Xi's hand enthusiastically, saying, "Technician He, you are finally here. We have been looking forward to your coming every day, but today you didn't stand guard at the gate of the brigade."

He Xi was stunned for a moment, and explained: "The town's technicians have distributed the newly developed seeds to the test subjects of each brigade, and we have been busy running around, and there are also matters related to the spring production of the processing plant, so we have delayed you."

"As compensation, our focus for the recent period of time will be on our Sixth Brigade, which will fully serve our First Brigade."

"Really?" Queen Han was very excited. "Then let's take a look at the potatoes first?"

"Let's go!" He Xi and Luo Hong then went to the largest potato storage area.

Looking at the mountain of potatoes in front of him, He Xi felt relieved. Such a large number of potatoes could form a certain production scale, so could he start processing them?

Okay, let’s get started!
