The muscles on Cang Xiuxuan's face twitched together.
It was the first time in my life that I saw Cang Xiu Xuan pull out ginseng like a radish.
"This ginseng is about two hundred years old. If you can find an expert to process it, you can take it back like this. If you can't find an expert, I will process it for you."
Last year, she made a lot of money from the Chinese patent medicines she cooperated with Huichun Tang, especially the hemostatic pills she traded privately with Cang Xiuxuan, which made her smile.
In order to have a long-term cooperation, we have to express ourselves no matter what.
It just so happens that I have this opportunity this time, it's not too unexpected.
Cang Xiuxuan looked at her with a helpless smile, "I don't think it's necessary to concoct it. It's just right to take it as a gift."
Song Chen lowered his head and looked at the flower pot in his hand, then changed his hand and stuffed the ginseng into the soil, "You'd better change the flower pot, I was too bad, but don't change the soil in it."
"Okay, I remember, but this is 200-year-old ginseng, so you just give it to me?"
Cang Xiuxuan felt that he could look forward to this answer.
But he didn't know that this precious medicinal material that was sought after by everyone outside was really as worthless as a big radish to Song Chen. She could get as much as she wanted.
"Take it and continue to help me make more money this year."
The bubbles of expectation around Cang Xiuxuan were shattered by Song Chen's very bold words. He knew that he couldn't expect too much from a girl who had not yet realized what she was doing.
"I accepted the item. This is too valuable. You can't refuse my return gift in the future."
Cang Xiuxuan talked things over in advance.
Song Chen thought about it and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, so he agreed, but he didn't expect that Cang Xiuxuan would dig a hole for her here.
This guy’s so-called valuable return gift is actually a betrothal gift!
Of course, this is all for later.
Time passes day by day, and after the first month of the year, Song Chen will start looking for someone to plow the land. The land he bought before needs to be plowed first, and the mountain bought by Shiping Village needs to be planned.
It feels like there are still a lot of things going on and there is never a moment of relaxation.
Fortunately, her father can take over all the matters in the fields. Her father knows better than she does what to do when.
In this way, she can devote herself to getting aloe vera in Shiping Village.
Aloe vera is a plant that can be harvested all year round. After several heavy snowfalls in winter, it was slightly frostbitten and turned black, but it did not affect the growth of the plant.
The aloe vera on this mountain could not meet Song Chen's requirements, so she wanted to make a new plan on the mountain.
When Song Chen's carriage stopped at the door of Zheng's house in Huixing Village, the whole people in Shiping Village were alarmed. They had been expecting Song Chen to come since he bought the mountain in their village.
Right now, the villagers in Beiguan Village are living a prosperous life, which is really enviable.
They looked forward to the day when they could live a good life like the villagers in Beiguan Village, and they pinned all their hopes on Song Chen.
When Li Zheng from Shiping Village saw Song Chen, his eyes lit up, as if he saw a moving golden mountain.
"Miss Song, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time." Xinli Zheng of Shiping Village was an upright and forthright person, and he did not mince words when he saw Song Chen.
Such a character is very popular with Song Chen.
Song Chen prefers to associate with such people. After all, she will have a base workshop here in the future and will spend more time dealing with them. It is easier to deal with such generous people.
“I was a little busy before, so I’ve been waiting for a long time.”
"Anywhere, as long as Miss Song is willing to come, she is willing to wait as long as she wants. It's quite cold outside right now. If Miss Song doesn't mind, let's go sit inside and talk."
Song Chen smiled and nodded, "Okay."
As soon as they sat down, Li Zheng quickly poured hot water for them. The honest man looked a little ashamed and said, "I'm really sorry, I only have hot water here."
Everyone laughed, without any hint of ridicule.
When Li Zheng also sat down, Song Chen spoke up, "I wonder if there is any land for sale under the mountain I bought in your village before? No fertile land is needed, wasteland will do."
"What is Miss Song going to do?" Li Zheng from Shiping Village asked.
Song Chen smiled and looked at the people of Shiping Village who were watching outside Li Zheng's house, and said louder, "I need to renovate and plan that mountain. A workshop will be built at the foot of the mountain."
The people in Shiping Village outside were all excited when they heard the word "workshop". People in Beiguan Village can only make money because of workshops. If there are workshops in their village, does it mean that their good days have also come?
Thinking of this, the people of Shiping Village seemed to see hope.
Someone asked.
"Miss Song, what is your workshop going to do? Is it going to make medicine like your workshop in Beiguan Village?"
"Will you look for workers in our village or in your Beiguan Village?"
These two questions basically represent the people of Shiping Village. When Song Chen saw that they were all looking forward to it, Song Chen simply told everything.
"The workshop in your Shiping Village does not make medicine, but other things. Workers will be found from your Shiping Village. The wages are the same as those in Beiguan Village, but the requirements are also the same as those in Beiguan Village."
After saying this, Song Chen turned to Li Zheng of Shiping Village and said, "I'll have to ask Li Zheng for help with this matter."
What Li Zheng from Shiping Village wanted to hear the most was this news. When Song Chen said this, his lips turned to the back of his head, "Don't worry, girl, I will take care of this."
He then thought about what Song Chen said about buying land, "I will help you ask about the land Miss Song wants to buy and see if anyone in the village is willing to sell it. Then I will go to your village to send you news."
"Then there's Lauri Zheng. Let's go up the mountain to take a look. Planning on the mountain also requires help."
Song Chen wanted to cultivate these aloe vera plants on a large scale so that she could meet her future needs.
Naturally, Li Zheng from Shiping Village couldn't wait to stand up, walked outside the door and said to the onlookers, "You have heard what Miss Song just said. You go back first and think about whether you are qualified, and then come to me."
Sign up here and I will screen it again and give it to Miss Song."
Song Chen was recruiting workers in Shiping Village for the first time, and Shiping Village was absolutely determined to satisfy her.
In this way, Shiping Village can also have long-term interests.
They were all very impressed by this new character, and when they heard what he said, everyone dispersed.
Song Chen took Wenping and Conghai to the Aloe Mountain first.
It had just rained and the road was still slippery. Wen Ping held Song Chen's hand and did not dare to let go the whole way.
Conghai is also very nervous.
Fortunately, the journey up the mountain was uneventful.
Although there are not many aloe veras on the mountain, as Song Chen said, they are not large-scale at all, and the leaves of this wild aloe vera are not thick enough.
"This entire mountain needs to be renovated. Just give me about three acres of flat land."
Song Chen pointed to the small mountain area belonging to Shiping Village and told Conghai that from now on, Conghai would be responsible for everything here.
Keep them in mind one by one from the sea.
"Don't touch the area where the aloe vera grows yet. The wages of the workers who will be hired to clear the land will be slightly higher. This work is tiring and needs to be done more carefully."
Conghai nodded, "Don't worry, girl, Conghai has remembered what the girl said."
Several people continued walking forward, but suddenly Song Chen stopped, "This is the mountain connecting another village, right?"
Although the mountains are connected together, only Shipingcun Mountain grows aloe vera. Song Chen found it very interesting.
Li Zheng from Shiping Village looked in the direction of Song Chen's finger, "Over this mountain, you will find Wang Village."
"Wangcun?" Song Chen didn't believe it, "It turned out to be Wangcun."
"Ms. Song, do you think it's strange? The route we usually take is around the mountains, so it's a bit winding. But if we go down from here, we can reach Wangcun very quickly."
After listening to his words, Song Chen thought about it in his mind, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
"Where does Wang Village connect to?" Song Chen looked further away.
Li Zheng from Shiping Village was a little embarrassed, "I don't know where it is. It doesn't seem to belong to any of our villages."
Song Chen walked a little higher, and the more he looked, the more familiar that direction became.
She decided to finish the things here and go to Wangcun.
The mountain area she bought in Shiping Village was not big, less than 200 acres. Although Song Chen didn't go around for a while, he had already made it clear to Cong Hai everything he needed to pay attention to.
"That's pretty much what happens here. I'm helping with the purchase of land and recruitment of workers at the foot of the mountain. First of all, I have people who need to plow the land to open up wasteland on the mountain. There is no limit to the number of people. The more the better, but they must be honest and willing.
If you are a diligent and careful person, I will choose most of the workers in the workshop from this time."
This was Song Chen's usual practice. They would be inspected first, and those who passed the test could enter the workshop.
Especially for Shiping Village, a place she was unfamiliar with, the inspection would be more stringent than that of Beiguan Village.
"Don't worry about this Miss Song."
After Song Chen left, Li Zheng of Shiping Village found a suitable place at the foot of the mountain. However, there was an acre of fertile farmland owned by the villagers, and the rest was uncultivated wasteland.
There are other places, but Li Zheng of Shiping Village thinks this place is more suitable.
So he went to find the owner of that acre of land.
"Er Mao, are you selling the land at the foot of the mountain?"
"Did Song Chen's workshop in Beiguan Village choose my site?" When Er Mao heard Li Zheng say this, his eyes glowed green, like a wolf seeing its prey.
Li Zheng from Shiping Village frowned subconsciously, "Well, that place is more suitable. Your piece of land is only one acre, so I will give you a fair price."
I don’t know what happened to Ermao’s family, but they just left an acre of fertile land over there. The rest of their land was far away from the foot of the mountain.
Er Mao looked at Li Zheng and smiled, "The price is not a big problem. I will pay whatever other people pay. I won't ask for more, but I do want one of the workshop workers' quotas."
