Chapter 480 Initial Preparation
It was the third day after Wang Zeren sent the letter.
Chen Xingjie was worried about what to do with the watermelons in the field. Zhan Laowu had not touched the watermelons, and now the watermelon vines were getting old.
I guess it won’t last long if you forcibly prolong the freshness of the watermelon like this.
Don't waste such a precious thing.
“Is this the residence of the village chief of Jixiang Village?”
At this time, a young soldier on horseback came to the gate of the courtyard, carrying a large package on his back.
Chen Xingjie nodded: "Yes, I am the village chief of Jixiang Village. May I ask what can I do for you, County Magistrate?"
After all, the village chief is also a minor official, so Chen Xingjie is not very afraid of the officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers outside the courtyard dismounted and rummaged through their bags.
"It's rare to see such a young village chief. This is a letter from General Wang. Please keep it."
After handing the letter to Chen Xingjie, the officers and soldiers hurried away on horseback.
Wang Zeren had sent letters before, but they were all sent to Sanyan Beverages. How come this letter came directly to the village today?
After opening the letter, Chen Xingjie showed excitement.
After calming down, Chen Xingjie ran towards the factory.
"Xiaohu! Uncle Jianye! There's news from Wen Yan!" Chen Xingjie was panting on the hillside, waving the letter in his hand.
Zhou Jianye put down the hoe in his hand and tears flowed down his face uncontrollably. He treated his nephew Xu Wenyan more like his own son.
At this moment, he felt like his long-lost son had sent him a letter.
Xiaohu ran up the hillside crying.
Chen Xingjie read the letter again, and everyone was filled with joy and tears.
Today, Jixiang Village is a real big family, and Zhou Jianye has more or less linked the interests of the entire village together.
The whole village is developing together.
After going through so many things before, the villagers have deep feelings for Xu Wenyan.
"Woo, I'm glad Brother Xu and Brother Sanlin are okay. I was so worried about them." Xiaohu rubbed his slightly red eyes.
Yuyin patted his shoulder.
"Ayin, how about we get married in the frontier? I want Brother Xu to drink our wedding wine." Xiaohu held Yuyin's hand.
The little girl was not as naughty as before: "Well, Brother Xu and the others will definitely be happy."
As long as there was news, everyone would be very happy. When they left, they all wanted to follow Chen Sanlin.
But Xiaoman is right. The foundation laid by Xu Wenyan needs someone to look after it, and maybe he will need everyone's help by then.
Isn't it time to repay Xu Wenyan now?
After a moment of sadness, Zhou Jianye remembered what Xu Wenyan mentioned in the letter.
Since Xu Wenyan said he was short of money, he must be in great need of it.
Now they have to help Xu Wenyan overcome the difficulties.
The village today is no longer what it used to be. Before, they might worry about a piece of steamed bun or a piece of pancake.
Most of the time, I can't even fill my stomach.
But now, the villagers can eat meat at least once a week, and rice and flour are also common. Compared with before, they are now living a life like gods.
All of this was brought about by Xu Wenyan.
Although the villagers of Jixiang Village today come from all over the world, they feel unprecedented warmth in Jixiang Village.
The county’s policies and the village’s choices are all better than their original village.
It was Xu Wenyan who made them rich.
Farmers value integrity the most.
"Okay, put away your tears. We are Wen Yan's biggest supporters now, and we have to work hard to help him.
"Xiao Hu, take all the carriages in the village and go to the pond to ask Zhan Laowu to load all the watermelons and bring them here as soon as possible."
As for those dehydrated vegetables, Zhou Jianye still needs to discuss it with Chen Xingjie.
The method Xu Wenyan provided was very detailed, but a new factory would have to be built, and it would take at least half a month to implement.
"Yubai, you two sisters go catch some crayfish, no... just call them shrimps from now on."
While the two sisters were out, Zhou Jianye and Chen Xingjie found dozens of young people in the village, and they all helped build the drying room.
When they heard that it was Xu Wenyan's request, the villagers picked up their tools and helped with the work. No one asked the price and insisted that the house be built within ten days.
But there is no way Zhou Jianye would really not give them the money.
This factory is larger in scale and it probably uses a lot of carbon every day.
The earthen kiln in the shelter has not been used for a long time because there is no place to store the burned charcoal.
When Xiaohu went there next time, Zhan Laowu and the others continued to burn charcoal.
There are so many trees in the forest that it is impossible to pick them all up.
Soon, the two sisters Yubai and Yuyin came back with bamboo baskets.
The crayfish was prepared using Xu Wenyan’s method.
"Uncle Jianye, village chief, come and try it." Yuyin was holding a lobster in her hand, and had already peeled it as Xu Wenyan had instructed.
The crayfish meat is firm and tender, and paired with the spicy sauce, the taste is simply amazing.
I can't stop eating one after another.
This large pot of crayfish was quickly peeled by several people.
"Catch more. We'll send them to Qing'an Hall and the beverage store tomorrow to put them on the shelves."
Zhou Jianye stood up and contacted the villagers with Chen Xingjie to help dig a pond.
At least ten acres of land need to be dug for lobster farming. Although a lot of lobsters were released before, the supply was sold out in a month at most.
This crayfish was originally found in the ditch of the pond.
They had eaten it once when Xu Wenyan was still in Jixiang Village, and it tasted great too.
But before it could be sold on a large scale, Xu Wenyan was no longer here.
But it's still early. Zhou Jianye has seen a lot of big things and is still confident that he can make money.
Zhou Jianye had already prepared before this letter arrived.
He bought the remaining fields in the village and used them to plant some fruit trees on the mountain, including cherry trees, plums, persimmons, and pears.
It is also easy to take care of, just water it once every half a month.
Some land was used to grow peppers and potatoes, and mushroom sticks were brought back to the shelter.
Xu Wenyan said that this thing was very valuable, and Zhou Jianye just wanted to try his luck.
Anyway, there are already a lot of them in the pond, so it doesn’t matter even if he kills them. He can just treat it as a waste of time.
I didn't expect that I would actually succeed.
It’s just that the mushrooms grow a little slowly, so we’ll have to wait until at least next year.
All the money earned in the past six months was in the hands of the couple. They were reluctant to spend any money and saved it all for Xu Wenyan.
Zhou Jianye returned home and opened a wooden box.
Without exception, the boxes were filled with glittering gold.
Xu Wenyan had told them before that they should exchange their silver for gold and store it as much as possible, saying that it would preserve its value.
Zhou Jianye listened carefully to everything he said.
Tomorrow he planned to take the gold, exchange it for two thousand taels of silver notes and send it to Xu Wenyan.
The remaining gold still needs to be saved to see if Xu Wenyan still needs it.
He wanted to send the gold directly, but that was obviously not realistic.
