Regardless of whether the person is hired or not, Shen Chi plans to build the hardware facilities first.
For example, in the laundry room, just washing clothes becomes a problem when there are too many people living there. Nowadays, we can no longer stand by the pool in the backyard, so we need to build a special place for washing clothes.
There is also a canteen. There are already a lot of people in the villa now. If the sanatorium is built, it will not look like everyone crowding into their own dining room to eat.
Therefore, these required buildings still need to be repaired. Fortunately, it is difficult to find caregivers, but it is easy to find masons.
Yuanjia Village has been busy constructing according to its own design for more than half a year. Now that the project is coming to an end, it is time to hire some of their masters.
Thinking of this, Shen Chi felt that there was no need to delay. After dinner, he went down to Leigongping to find Yuan Jiaoting and the others.
Shen Chi's arrival was unlucky. When he arrived at Yuanjia Village, he caught up with a conflict between the people from Yuanjia Village and the people from Yanghuwan on the other side of Xiaoqi Mountain.
Looking at both sides holding hoes and shovels, the situation has reached a point of breaking out.
Shen Chi couldn't help but feel very puzzled. Although Yuanjia Village was only a mountain away from their Yanghu Bay, the mountain road was difficult to travel. To get to their Yanghu Bay, they would have to walk twenty or thirty miles.
Everyone rarely interacts with each other, so they don't understand why the people from Yanghuwan would bring equipment to trouble the people in Yuanjia Village.
"What are you doing? Is there something that we can't all sit down and discuss carefully?" Shen Chi said, looking at both sides of the confrontation.
As soon as he saw Shen Chi, Yuan Jiaoting hurriedly came over and said to him: "Shen Chi, you came just in time. The people in Yanghuwan said they wanted to dig out a road in their mountain. Our lake near the mountain depends entirely on that mountain. If they dig out the Leigong Lake that we have worked so hard to build for more than a year, wouldn’t all their work be in vain?"
It turns out that Yuanjia Village and Yanghu Village share the same hilltop, and the hill that the two villages share is the natural embankment of Leigong Lake.
Now the people in Yanghuwan say they want to dig up mountains and build roads, but they don't go towards Yuanjia Village. This is obviously deliberately stirring up trouble.
Looking at an old man who was nearly fifty years old opposite with a calculating look in his eyes, and looking at the situation on the other side, the people in Yanghuwan were vaguely headed by him, Shen Chi believed that their move must have some purpose.
"Who among you can make the decision?" Shen Chi asked the people in Yanghu Bay opposite.
"Boy, do you want to help the people of Yuanjiacun?" The fifty-year-old man opposite looked at Shen Chi and said.
Shen Chi smiled and said, "I'm not trying to stand up, I'm just trying to be a peacemaker for both of you. Why are you, Yanghuwan, suddenly building a road towards Yuanjiacun, and you don't go this way?"
"Who said we won't go from this way? Now who doesn't know that Song Town has become a famous scenic spot, and we can get some glory by building a road from this way." The old man replied.
The people in Yuanjia Village were filled with anger when they heard this. They had worked hard to build this lake for nearly a year. The people in Yanghu Village dug it when they were told. It is easy to destroy the embankment but difficult to build it. No wonder the people in Yuanjia Village were angry after hearing this. .
But Shen Chi was more certain from the other party's words that they had ulterior motives.
"The reason is very good, but if you really use the light to build a road directly to Song Town, wouldn't it be better? Why go around in such a big circle to confront the people of Yuanjia Village? Just ask for whatever you have." Shen Chi hit the nail on the head.
The old man opposite saw that Shen Chi had such a knack for calculating people's hearts at such a young age. Although his expression changed slightly, he still said with a stubborn smile: "What can we ask for? It's just a way to borrow a way."
Seeing that the other party refused to eat and drink as a penalty for the toast, Shen Chi also suppressed his smile and turned to Yuan Jiaoting and said: "Since the people in Yanghu Bay want to dig, let them dig."
"But wouldn't all our hard work be in vain?" People here in Yuanjia Village were very worried. After the lake was repaired, they brought many tourists from Song Town to take a boat tour.
Especially after the village was renovated, business immediately boomed, and the rice wine brewed in the village became a signature, attracting many people.
Seeing that life is getting better and better, people from Yanghu Bay are looking for trouble. Without the number of tourists in this lake, the number of tourists will definitely decrease.
"At worst, we will have to work hard again and move the lake embankment back a little to clear the way for them to Yanghu Bay." After that, he turned to the old man opposite and said, "You have also seen that Yuanjia Village is now separated from the Yanghu Bay.
Song Town is connected, and the tourism business is getting more and more prosperous.
So this land... Of course, every inch of land is valuable. You can build roads, but if you occupy the land in Yuanjia Village, you have to pay for every inch."
After saying this, Shen Chi smiled softly at the people in Yanghuwan, and then turned to the people in Yuanjia Village: "Uncle Jiaoting, take people back. If they want to repair, let them go and see what tricks they can come up with."
"Xiao Chi, that's what I say, but once they really dig, even if we shrink the lake embankment, the amount of work will be huge.
And this business will be greatly affected. They cannot let them dig the lake embankment." Yuan Jiaoting said to Shen Chi in a low voice.
"It's okay. If they dare to dig the embankment and flood Yanghu Bay, we won't be blamed." Shen Chi didn't lower his voice when he said this. Everyone in Huwan heard it.
Shen Chi's words changed their expressions greatly. Yuan Jiaoting also understood what Shen Chi meant. If the people in Yanghuwan dared to dig mountains, they would release the water. Shen Chi's words were a warning and a threat.
"Yes, it was the Yanghuwan people's fault that Leigong Lake broke its embankment when the embankment was dug and he was held responsible. Let's go! Let's go back." Yuan Jiaoting raised his arms and shouted to the tribesmen.
The people in Yanghuwan opposite were dumbfounded. Just as Shen Chi expected, they had other motives for doing this.
They saw that Yuanjia Village, Tangsun Village and other villages were getting rich under the leadership of Shen Chi, and their days were getting more and more prosperous. They thought of the strange side of him falling into the lake when he fell into the lake as a child, and the strange side of the fish holding him on the lake surface, and they immediately thought of the story about Shen Chi. After reading all kinds of legends about Chi, they also wanted to ask Shen Chi to show them a clear path.
However, they had no contact with Shen Chi, and they were afraid that Shen Chi would ignore them when they came rashly, so they thought of this method.
Firstly, they can draw out Shen Chi, and secondly, they can take the initiative. When the time comes, they won't be able to do whatever they want.
It's a pity that Shen Chi saw through their thoughts and acted against common sense. As a result, they were the ones who were passive.
How dare they really dig a lake? When the time comes, the lake will burst its banks as Shen Chi said, and the water in this lake will be enough to turn their Yanghu Bay into a real bay.
"Wait!" Seeing Shen Chi and the others were about to leave, the old man shouted quickly.
"I've let you dig them up at will. What else do you want?" Yuan Jiaoting replied angrily.
After Yuan Jiaomin turned around and scolded all the people in Yanghuwan, they didn't know how to answer the question. The old man reacted quickly, and regardless of whether he had the advantage of taking the initiative, he hurriedly said to Shen Chi: "If you want us not to dig, It’s okay, as long as you meet one of our requirements, everything will be easy for business.”
"I told you not to tell me just now. Now I'm not interested in knowing. If you want to dig, just dig." Shen Chi interrupted the old man coldly and turned to Yuan Jiaoting and said: "Uncle Jiaoting, call for the excavator and shovel tomorrow." "Che, the people in Yanghu Bay are digging embankments with their front feet, and we are opening the lake with our back feet to release water."
He said and left without looking back.
At this time, everyone in Yanghuwan was dumbfounded. They wanted to pinch others, but they didn't expect to be pinched by others.
"What should I do, village chief? All of them are gone." A person from Yanghuwan said to the old man. "Well, it seems I have to go to Leigongping in person. I'll ask a few people to accompany me in the evening. "Then. The old man sighed heavily as he spoke, and led the villagers back with a frustrated look on his face.
Shen Chi followed the people from Yuanjia Village into the village. The entire village was built according to his design. Now the appearance of the village has changed drastically, and there is no trace of the previous one.
A bluestone road runs straight through the entire village, with shops built on both sides. Some have been opened and some are under preparation. If the people looking at the shops are all dressed in ancient costumes, it really feels like they have traveled to an ancient market.
Seeing Shen Chi looking at the buildings in the village, Yuan Jiaoting asked, "How is it? We all followed your design."
"It's done well." Shen Chi couldn't help but nodded.
"Peach trees have been planted all around the village according to your instructions, and we plan to plant them all on the mountainside in the distance." Yuan Jiaoting pointed them out to Shen Chi one by one.
"It's just that the mountains above the mountainside are steep, so it's inconvenient to plant fruit trees, and it's a pity to leave them uncultivated." Yuan Jiaoting said with a look of regret.
"Let's plant bamboos, cover the surrounding area with netting, and raise some free-range chickens inside. We must maximize the use of all the land and not waste a single cent." Shen Chi said to Yuan Jiaoting.
Yuan Jiaoting nodded when he heard this, and the reason why Shen Chi asked them to build a bamboo forest to raise chickens was because as the reputation of his supermarket spread, the sales of farm chickens increased day by day. Now a chicken farm is as big as the joint farm. It can only maintain existing supermarket sales.
Shen Chi also plans to wait for the TV series directed by Xie Kun to be aired and take advantage of the situation to open a few more stores. In order to maintain a stable supply of goods, the forest land in Yuanjia Village must also be used rationally.
Furthermore, when farmhouses develop in the future, the food cooked in rural earthen stoves will be the soul of farmhouses. As those mountainous areas have been transformed into fruit orchards, the firewood used by villagers for cooking will be greatly reduced.
Bamboo grows quickly and has many uses. It can not only create economic value but also be used for cooking. It is the best choice for killing multiple birds with one stone.
Yuan Jiaoting kept Shen Chi's words in mind and planned to implement what he said later. "Are all the young people in Yuanjia Village at home now?" Shen Chi suddenly asked.
"Because the village is under construction this year and cannot create much economic value, nearly half of the young people in the village have gone out to work." Yuan Jiaoting replied.
"I need some cooks in Lei Gongping. If you are interested, you can come over. It doesn't matter. I have ready-made famous chefs who can teach you. Please help me ask if anyone in your village is willing to go." Shen Chi said to Yuan Jiao Ting said.
People in Yuanjia Village were very excited when they heard that Lei Gongping was recruiting chefs. This was an opportunity to learn a craft for free.
