Chapter 236 Newcomers, New Atmosphere
"The third rule!"
Under the gaze of the crowd, He Daqing continued,
"This time, on behalf of Fengze Garden, I brought some chickens, ducks and geese to everyone. In the future, I will also find a way to get some cattle and sheep for everyone."
"These are all the property of the commune and belong to each and every one of you."
"So, I hope that each team will assign someone to feed and take care of these livestock every day. If you take good care of them, you will be rewarded with work points. If you don't take good care of them, you will be deducted a few points. Does anyone have any opinions?"
He Daqing knew that ever since everyone started eating from the same big pot, the number of poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese in each village had become fewer and fewer, and even the cows that plowed the fields died for unknown reasons.
Why?
In the past, chickens, ducks and geese belonged to individuals, and people would feed these poultry with even the food they saved from their teeth. But after they became public property, many people no longer cared about them. Moreover, they could still eat their meat after they died, which formed a vicious cycle.
But this won't work.
Apart from other things, the eggs laid by chickens, ducks and geese alone can provide a lot of nutrition for the villagers. If these poultry cannot be kept alive, the canteen in Qinjiawan will eventually not be able to operate.
"Okay, we agree!"
The villagers respected He Daqing, and since he brought them so much food, they naturally agreed to everything He Daqing said.
"Since you've agreed, these three rules will take effect from now on! Let's eat, everyone!"
He Daqing nodded and personally distributed corn porridge to everyone.
The cafeteria director Qin Jianming, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but nod secretly and had a different opinion of He Daqing.
"A new official sets three rules right from the start."
Qin Jianming thought to himself,
"These three rules may seem simple, but they are not simple at all. On the one hand, they increase revenue, and on the other hand, they cut costs. This He Daqing is quite something!"
Thinking of this, Qin Jianming picked up his bowl and walked towards the queue.
At the beginning, he thought that He Daqing was the same as the previous two groups of people, so he didn't take it seriously.
But now it seems that He Daqing really wants to run this canteen well, so he naturally has to cooperate.
Although the corn porridge did not fill everyone's stomach, it did give them a little more food.
After the meal, everyone went home.
He Daqing also brought two bags of food and leisurely came to his father-in-law's house.
"Daqing, it's great that you can come, and you brought so many things, this..."
Seeing that He Daqing brought them two bags of cornmeal, Qin Dashan and Liu's faces were also particularly happy.
"We are all family, why be polite!"
He Daqing smiled and said,
"Besides, I'll have to live here for a while, so just consider it as my food expenses. Also, give some to the uncle and aunt next door."
"alright."
Hearing this, Qin Dashan smiled helplessly, and happily moved the two bags of cornmeal to the kitchen. He then took out most of the bag and distributed it to his brother's family next door.
Although we can go to the cafeteria to eat during the day, given the current situation in the cafeteria, it is better to have some food at home.
Silent all night.
The next morning, He Daqing got up and went straight to the cafeteria.
However, the canteen door was already open, and Qin Jianming was preparing breakfast with everyone. Because there was a supply of food, in addition to yesterday's corn porridge, they also prepared cakes and pickles for the villagers.
Although the food was a bit simple, it was good enough for the villagers.
When He Daqing walked around the chicken coop at the back and looked at the clean environment, he couldn't help but nod secretly.
"Don't worry, these chickens, ducks and geese are here, no one dares to touch them!"
At this moment, a voice came from behind.
He Daqing turned his head and saw Qin Jianming smoking a pipe and looking at him with a smile.
"Lao Qin, are you responsible for all this?"
He Daqing pointed to the surrounding environment, which had obviously been tidied up overnight.
"Ah."
Qin Jianming admitted it openly and said with a smile,
"Manager He, you are different from others. I have a feeling that you can manage our cafeteria well. I'm telling you, if you have any problems in the future, just tell me. I have no problem with these small things!"
"Old Qin, you're too polite!"
Hearing this, He Daqing felt relieved. It seemed that he had taken down Qin Jianming without realizing it.
He Daqing smiled and said,
"I'm just passing by, and I can't stay here for long. There are many things that still require your attention. But I believe that as long as you strictly abide by the rules I set, the canteen in Qinjia Bay will definitely get better!"
Qin Jianming nodded.
"I believe in Manager He!"
He Daqing said again,
"Have the people who grow vegetables been allocated the land?"
"It's assigned. I'll have them come over after dinner!"
Qin Jianming smiled.
"It's good to grow vegetables. Now we can grow tomatoes, beans, eggplants and the like. It only takes a month and we can have enough to eat."
Qin Jianming had actually thought of this simple move before, but no one listened to him. Everyone's attention was focused on other aspects.
Now with He Daqing at the helm, everything seems to be getting easier.
So, after breakfast, He Daqing took a group of people and started to cultivate the land near the canteen.
He Daqing naturally knew nothing about growing vegetables.
But it is not important.
All the people present were old farmers, and they were all skilled. With just one order from He Daqing, they could tidy up the huge wasteland and make it smooth and soft.
They pulled out the weeds and reclaimed the wasteland. Under He Daqing's supervision, everyone sowed seeds, with hope on their faces.
Yes, when these seeds take root and sprout, they will be able to eat fresh vegetables in some time.
He Daqing was not idle either. After everyone finished their work, he asked Qin Jianming to pull a ram they brought towards the next village.
A ram is meaningless, but if we mate it with ewes from other communities, wouldn't we have more sheep?
Moreover, the sheep grow very fast, and can grow a lot in almost half a year. If He Daqing's guess is correct, the days in Qinjia Bay will change drastically during the New Year.
While everyone was working in the fields, Qin Jianming went to another place to conduct negotiations. He Daqing came to the upper reaches of the river in Qinjia Bay alone. Looking at the clean river water with nothing in it, He Daqing was speechless.
With a helpless sigh, he secretly took out some fish fry from his space manor and put them into the river.
