Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Tan Yuan had her own things to do and did not put too much energy on her cousin Zhao Yang.

When she returned to the threshing ground from the educated youth site, the public grain had already been loaded onto the tractors. She had just left, and the threshing ground suddenly became empty.

"We'll build a few sheds here when the time comes. The stone mill will be placed here. We'll also need two stoves, otherwise there will be no place to make soy milk and brine."

As Tan Yuan spoke, she looked at the paper bag that Secretary Li had handed over, which was now in the hands of the team leader.

The captain saw her intention and was also curious about what was inside.

"Hey, that name... Huaiyin Brigade Dried Tofu Factory..."

The name written on it was read out word by word, and it was actually the name they had just discussed. It was unexpected, such a surprise.

"What a tacit understanding!"

The team leader laughed out loud. He didn't expect that he forgot to choose a name at that time, so the commune simply helped them choose one. It turned out to be the one they wanted. How could he not be happy about such a coincidence?

Tan Yuan was happy when she saw the words "commune brigade collective enterprise" written on it. Although individual economy is not allowed now, collective economy is recognized everywhere.

With this thing, she can start preparing for what comes next.

"Captain, I need to use the team's bicycle. I have to go to the commune's oil mill this afternoon..."

Oil mills, grain and oil stores, and packaging bags, all of these things need to be prepared. If you want to produce dried tofu, these things are indispensable.

When Accountant Zhang heard Tan Yuan say that she was going to these places, he suddenly had a bad feeling. He subconsciously held his purse tightly and wanted to pee.

Unfortunately, his action was too late, and before he could move, he was called out by Tan Yuan.

"Accountant Zhang, I need money. Can you give me a hundred yuan in advance?"

The first thing he asked for was a hundred yuan. Accountant Zhang was in tears. He felt as happy as he was when he agreed to set up the factory, but now he felt as miserable as he did.

He looked at the captain for help, and the captain gave him an encouraging look in return.

He had already made preparations to empty the brigade's savings, so how could he be reluctant to part with the hundred yuan?

There is one hundred missing, but doesn’t their team still have more than five hundred and thirty?

The other cadres all had the same expression. They felt pain, but what could they do? Everyone knew that you can't catch a wolf without risking your child!

It was not easy to take the hundred yuan from Accountant Zhang. It was not because of anything else, but mainly because Tan Yuan felt like she was bullying an old man.

Everything became much easier once she had the money. When she went to the commune oil mill to purchase rapeseed oil, she took the certificate she had just obtained and the oil mill was sure to sell it to her. However, she didn't want much, only 30 kilograms, and the oil mill was unwilling to give it to her at all.

Not only was he unwilling, but he also looked down on her. Tan Yuan knew clearly that the person in front of her probably thought of her as someone who used chicken feathers as a token of authority. She could understand that, after all, which food factory bought oil in batches of thirty kilograms?

Tan Yuan didn't want to be so stingy, mainly because the Huaiyin Brigade was too poor. She couldn't pay for it out of her own pocket. Besides, she couldn't just ask people for credit. They would definitely ignore her.

Then she could only be stingy. Ignoring the gazes of the people in the oil mill, she tied a full pot of rapeseed oil to the back seat of her bicycle.

Making braised tofu does not require as much oil as other things, and the braising liquid can be reused. As long as it is properly stored, it will become more fragrant with use. These 30 kilograms will be enough for her to use for a long time.

After buying the oil, there are also the marinade ingredients. The price of spices has always been high, so the more you save, the better. The ingredients that can be found in the health center will never be bought here at the commune.

She bought so much salt and soy sauce that the bicycle could hardly carry it, so Tan Yuan carefully rode her bicycle to the brigade.

When they saw Tan Yuan coming back, everyone in the team was very enthusiastic and greeted her warmly. If the locusts had not eaten all the vegetable seedlings such as cucumbers in the field, her hands would definitely be full of things now.

After putting all the things back to the threshing ground, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had very little money left, and no matter how tired she was, she had to take it all to the brigade headquarters to have Accountant Zhang keep the accounts. Fortunately, she would ask them to issue invoices for everything she bought, so it was easier to keep track of it this way.

As soon as I walked out of the brigade headquarters, I met the brigade leader coming back from outside. When he saw Tan Yuan, he asked in surprise.

"You're back so soon? Have you bought everything?"

The commune has everything, and I have bought everything I need, except for the packaging.

As for packaging, Tan Yuan plans to wait until the brand name is decided. At that time, she will have to go to the county plastic factory to order a batch of white plastic bags, and then send the items to the printing factory to print their factory name and brand. These are all essential.

Compared with these things, the cost of raw materials for making braised tofu seems so insignificant.

The most important thing is the sealing problem, so we have to find a way to get a sealing machine.

"I'll find out about the sealing machine. But you, have you had lunch after being out all day?"

When she mentioned lunch, Tan Yuan suddenly remembered that she had actually forgotten to eat today. This was the first time since her rebirth. She usually didn't pay much attention to other things, but she paid special attention to eating...

My stomach also started to growl.

"Okay, I'll find someone to help you with the scorekeeping job. You can go back and have a good rest first."

Tan Yuan nodded obediently, and just after taking a few steps forward, she turned around and came back.

"Captain, has anyone delivered rations to the educated youth who came today?"

When talking about the new educated youth who came today, the team leader's face became dull. If Tan Yuan hadn't mentioned him, he really had forgotten about him.

There are so many things going on in the team. If there were two more people, he might be able to remember them. But there is only one person. How can he remember them all?

Looking at his expression, Tan Yuan knew what was going on. She probably didn't send it to him. Hahaha. But it's better this way. Zhao Yang will have to go hungry for two meals before he realizes how hard food is to come by.

Besides, she didn't do it on purpose. She had been away from the team all afternoon.

Thinking of this, the last bit of guilt disappeared, and she felt completely justified. It wasn't that she didn't want to send it, but that the team forgot about it.

"This... maybe others should remember..."

The captain thought about it, but he knew in his heart that he had put the matter behind him, so how could anyone else remember it?

"Isn't that Zhao Yang, the educated young woman, your cousin? If no one is there to take you there, tell her to come to the brigade and find me. I'll get it for her."

"It's my cousin, but..."
