Chapter 199 Enriching Our Diet

Brother Wang stood up to show his support, "Brother Li is right, we need to have a clear management system so that similar problems can be avoided from happening again."

Li nodded forward, satisfied with everyone's support. He knew that this regular meeting was not only to deal with current problems, but also to make plans for the future development of the team and the stability of survival.

"In addition to this issue, we will also discuss how to further improve crop yields and how to manage food and other resources more efficiently," Li Xiangqian continued. "I hope everyone can actively participate and jointly formulate a development plan for the courtyard."

The whole regular meeting lasted for a while, and everyone expressed their opinions and suggestions. Everyone gradually found a consensus in the discussion and was full of confidence and expectations for the future.

After the meeting, the people in the yard went back to their jobs, but the tension and doubts in their hearts had been released. They knew that with a clear management system and a platform for team discussion, they would be able to face the challenges of life more unitedly.

Li Xiangqian watched everyone leave, his heart filled with a sense of responsibility and mission for the team. He hoped that through his own efforts, he could lead the team to a more stable and prosperous future.

Li Xiangqian's day starts early. He gets up early and prepares to go out to buy food for the yard. The recent dry food stockpiling problem has been solved, but he realizes that there are still some shortages in daily life needs, especially bread and other similar foods. These simple and nutritious foods are essential to maintaining the physical strength and mood of everyone in the yard.

He walked along the village road, the sun shining through the sparse trees and shining on his shoulders, warm. This quiet morning made him feel particularly peaceful. He was full of responsibility for the team and cared about everyone's life, hoping to bring back some good news and good food for them.

Arriving at the village market, Li Xiangqian began to look for bread to buy. He walked past each small stall, carefully observing each one. Finally, in an inconspicuous little shop, he found a boss making steamed buns.

"Hello, boss." Li Xiangqian walked forward and greeted politely.

The boss was an elderly countryman. He wiped his hands and responded with a smile: "Hey, hello, young man, which kind of steamed bun do you like?"

Li Xiangqian looked around the shop and found that there were steamed buns of various sizes and shapes, some big, some small, some round, some square, all looking tempting. He chose a few of the largest ones because he knew that the people in the yard wanted to eat a full stomach, especially when working.

"I want these big steamed buns." Li Xiangqian said, pointing at the steamed buns on the table.

The boss happily wrapped the steamed buns and handed them to Li Xiangqian, then asked, "How is your yard doing recently?"

Li nodded forward and said, "Thank you. Everything is fine recently. Everyone is working hard."

The boss smiled and handed over a small bag. "These are the steamed buns I made myself. Give them to the people in your yard to try. They're free."

Li Xiangqian was grateful, knowing that this was a gesture of kindness and concern from his boss. He took the bag and said solemnly, "Thank you, I will take this gift back with me."

When leaving the shop, Li Xiangqian felt a sense of warmth and satisfaction. Behind these simple foods, there is love and mutual help between people. He is determined to bring this warmth back to the yard and share it with everyone.

When he returned to the courtyard, he found that everyone was busy with their work. He distributed the steamed buns he brought back to everyone, and everyone took them happily and expressed their gratitude.

"Brother Li, did you buy this?" Brother Wang asked as he took a steamed bun.

Li nodded forward, "Yes, I think everyone might like it."

Aunt Zhang also smiled and said, "This steamed bun looks really good. It seems that our breakfast today is guaranteed."

Everyone sat in the middle of the yard, sharing this unexpected beauty. Under the leadership of Li Xiangqian, they were like a big family, sharing the difficulties in life, as well as the warmth and joy in life.

Li Xiangqian is busy in the yard every day, taking care of various chores and ensuring that everyone can live a normal life. However, he also realizes that the resources in the yard are not enough to be completely self-sufficient, especially for basic food ingredients such as flour.

One afternoon, when he was out inspecting the fields, he came across a villager who was selling freshly ground flour at his stall. The villager's surname was Wang, and he was an amiable middle-aged man who always smiled at everyone who passed by.

"Brother Li, come here, take a look at my newly ground flour, the quality is absolutely good!" Uncle Wang shouted, stirring bags of wheat with a shovel.

Li Xiangqian stopped and walked to Uncle Wang's stall, carefully examining the crystal clear flour. "Uncle Wang, this flour does look good." He smiled and replied, "How much do you have left?"

Uncle Wang patted his flour bag and said with a smile: "Brother Li, my flour is really good. It is freshly ground. Don't worry, the quality is absolutely fine."

Li Xiangqian looked at Uncle Wang's sincere smile and felt a little warm in his heart. He knew that the people in this village relied on mutual help to overcome difficulties, and he was also very happy to meet such enthusiastic villagers.

"I want to buy some flour. How much can you give me?" Li Xiangqian asked.

Uncle Wang smiled and said, "Brother Li, I have as many as you need. It depends on how much you want."

Li Xiangqian thought for a while, and considering the number of people in the yard and the daily consumption, he decided to buy a certain amount of flour. "Okay, I want this flour." He pointed to some bags and said.

Uncle Wang happily packed the flour and handed it to Li Xiangqian, and also handed over a bag of cornmeal, "This is for the people in the yard, I hope everyone likes it."

Li Xiangqian took the flour and cornmeal, nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wang, the people in the yard will be very happy."

When he returned to the courtyard, he distributed the flour he bought to everyone, and also distributed the cornmeal that Uncle Wang had brought. When the people in the courtyard saw the extra food, they were all delighted and expressed their gratitude to Li Xiangqian and Uncle Wang.

"Brother Li, did you buy it?" Aunt Zhang asked as she took the flour.

Li Xiangqian smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I think we need some flour to enrich our diet."
