Feng Cai, who was lying on the bed, hurriedly sat up when he heard his name. He looked at Yu Bing in confusion. “Miss Yu?”

Yu Bing smirked slightly. “Feng Cai, I have something to discuss with you.”

Feng Cai stood up and walked forward. “Miss Yu, please go ahead.”

Yu Bing was very gentle when she asked for help. “Feng Cai, your family owns a mechanical factory, right?”

Feng Cai was quick-witted and immediately thought of the factory equipment, so he nodded.

Yu Bing didn’t like to beat around the bush. She said directly, “Our factory currently plans to purchase a high-temperature disinfectant equipment in March, but as you know, there are many projects in the village now, and there are many places that are in urgent need of money. Village Chief Mr. Wu said that he will give you permission to visit your family during the new year. I heard that you haven’t been home for two years. It just so happens that you can go back and reunite with them this year. At the same time, help our factory ask if the equipment can be bought on credit for now.”

Feng Cai frowned when he heard this. He felt that this matter was a little troublesome. If they wanted a discount or to pay in installments, he would definitely be able to help. However, if they weren’t paying a single cent upfront…

When Yu Bing saw Feng Cai’s troubled expression, she smiled awkwardly and said, “I know you’re in a difficult position too. I really had no choice but to shamelessly look for you. As the person in charge of the project, I can give you an affirmative answer. As long as this matter is settled, you’ll be a great contributor to our factory! Our factory welcomes capable people like you to join us!”

Yu Bing dared to use a position in the factory as bait because a young man had previously asked her about her recruitment requirements. At that time, Feng Cai had stopped to listen.

This offer was indeed very attractive to Feng Cai. If he entered the factory, he would be a worker. Not only would his job be easier than farming, but he would also receive salary and work points.

He was ranked fourth among the five children in his family. His parents had limited abilities, so he didn’t expect them to help him find a job and arrange for him to return to the city. However, he was still a high school student after all. He was really unwilling to spend the rest of his life as a farmer!

Feng Cai thought about this and decided that he had to think of a way to get this done no matter what. Although it was a factory in the village, there was still a chance for him to rise if he performed well!

After making up his mind, he looked at Yu Bing with a firm gaze. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely think of a way to settle it.”

Yu Bing smiled. “Alright, I believe you can do it! I have nothing else to do, so I’ll leave first. If you need to communicate anything in the future, look for me.”

Feng Cai agreed readily. After coming to He Mountain Brigade to build the countryside for five years, he finally saw hope.

Beside him, Yao Nian had already fallen asleep in bed. Coupled with the fact that their conversation wasn’t very loud, Yao Nian didn’t hear their discussion at all.

It had to be said that Yao Nian’s illness had saved Yu Bing a lot of trouble. Otherwise, if he found out, many more trouble might have happened.

After taking down Feng Cai, Yu Bing returned home happily.

Previously, Xiao Sheng had planted a lot of mustard vegetables in bulk. Now that the mustard vegetables were ripe, he came to Yu Bing at night to discuss the matter of making pickled vegetables.

Yu Bing asked, “How much can you harvest?”

Xiao Sheng estimated, “About 2,000 kilograms.”

After making a judgment, Yu Bing replied, “We can only use vats for pickled vegetables. We only have a total of three vats now. We can only marinate up to 1,000 catties at a time. There will be two batches.”

Xiao Sheng said to Yu Bing, “Now, the main customers are individuals, and individuals usually make their own pickled vegetables. I plan to go to the city to check the situation on my day off.”

Yu Bing said worriedly, “But we don’t even know the situation in the city. If we go there rashly and something happens to you, no one will be able to help you. Moreover, you still need Mr. Wu to write a letter of recommendation. How are you going to tell him?”

The recommendation letter was the least of Xiao Sheng’s worries, but there were many things he couldn’t tell Yu Bing now. “Don’t worry about the recommendation letter. Although I’ve never been to the city, the boss I know has connections in the city. I plan to look for him.”

When Yu Bing saw that Xiao Sheng had made preparations in advance, she calmed down a little. “A batch of pickled pickled vegetables can be released in three to seven days. Confirm the order first. Once you get the order, I’ll marinate it immediately. If you can’t get it, you can sell it directly. You also have to consider the transportation.”

Xiao Sheng nodded. “Let’s see how much we can get at once before we see how to transport it over. Actually, I also want to take this opportunity to see if we can establish a channel with the city. The selling prices there will be better.”

After the two of them made their plans, Xiao Sheng decided to go to Wu Jin’s house immediately.
