Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

When Xu Huaiyi left at dawn, village chief Xu sent him out of the workshop door and tentatively asked, "Huaiyi, when you recruit people, do you have to consider people from the original Hutian Village? If you don't recruit anyone, it will be a shame on your face." It doesn’t look good. Village Chief Hu is very considerate in his work, so we can’t be too rude..."

Xu Huaiyi said casually, "You just have to take care of things. Recruit them as you see fit. Sooner or later, the two villages will be integrated, regardless of each other."

When Village Chief Xu heard this, he knew something in his mind, "I think the eldest grandson of Village Chief Hu's family is a capable person. How about recruiting him?"

Xu Huaiyi thought for a while, "Let me ask him first. I should have finished the Zhuangzi. I am still planning to see if he is willing to take care of the Zhuangzi for me."

Hu Yingjie had a cold face and a warm heart, but he also had some boxing skills. When he came to work in the tofu factory, his talents were somewhat buried. He was thinking about whether he could help him lead a nursing team in the future.

After leaving Tofu Factory, he went to Xu Maoyuan's house. When he asked, it turned out that the village had been built. The fifty taels of silver he initially gave him had not been used up, and there were still more than seven taels left. Xu Maoyuan's accounts were very meticulous. , every little bit of expenses had to be written down, and it took several pages of paper.

Can Xu Huaiyi not believe him?

Without looking at the account, he returned the money and said with a sincere look, "Uncle, I have been busy going to the disaster relief site to maintain order recently. I really don't have any time to rest. I didn't originally plan to treat the workers to a meal. Well, I can’t take care of it now. I’m so happy to take care of the children. I can only continue to work hard. You can help me take care of it and see how the banquet is arranged. You have the final say on the details.”

Hearing this, Xu Maoyuan didn't respond. He discussed with him roughly what dishes to prepare for the banquet, how big the red envelopes would be for the workers, and only after setting the rules, Xu Huaiyi left.

After that, he went to the Liu family to check on the progress of the wooden toys. The Liu family was worthy of being carpenters for generations.

He also went to have a few words with Uncle Gao Er. Uncle Gao opened a grocery store in the village, selling oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, needles, thread and brains. He also set up a meat stall. Not only did he raise pigs at home, but he was also responsible for providing food for the neighbors. Those who went into the mountains to kill the animals would also be brought to him to collect them.

Finally, I went to the village chief's house and talked about the school. The school was about to be built. Just pick a good day and start classes directly. Shu Xiu didn't need much. There were quite a few students who signed up now, and they were all waiting at home.

Village Chief Hu originally wanted to wait for Xu Huaiyi to rest and witness the opening of the school together, but after hearing that he had no time recently and that he really didn't care, he nodded and agreed.

When leaving, Xu Huaiyi asked Hu Yingjie if he was willing to go to Zhuangzi to help him for two taels of silver a month. He didn't say to be a captain, but to be in charge.

Hu Yingjie was stunned when he heard this.

Village Chief Hu was surprised and quickly pushed him.

After Hu Yingjie came to his senses, he did not agree immediately, but said he would think about it.

Xu Huaiyi was not surprised, "Okay, when you think about it, go to the Jingwu Academy outside the city gate and find me. I'm free at noon."

Seeing that there was no annoyance on his face, Hu Yingjie felt relieved and nodded "Okay".

After he left, Village Chief Hu couldn't help but reprimanded him angrily, "What can you think about such a good thing? Where can I find such a job for only two taels of silver a month?"

As he spoke, his voice paused and he asked in disbelief, "You don't want to take advantage of him, do you? Do you want him to give you a higher salary? Yingjie, we can't be too greedy. If this matter spreads, others will only laugh. We don’t know how to praise, and besides, Xu Huaiyi is not something you can handle..."

Hu Yingjie frowned and explained, "Grandpa, I didn't mean that."

How about Xu Huaiyi? It's not like he's crazy.

Village Chief Hu was puzzled, "Then why didn't you just agree?"

"Gotta think about it."

"Looking reserved?"

"No, I just can't figure it out...why he suddenly asked me to be the manager of Zhuangzi. Ordinarily, he should use people from Xujia Village. His uncle is much more suitable than me."

After saying this, Village Chief Hu also began to think about it, "So, do you think there is something fishy here, so you dare not agree to him, for fear of being cheated?"

Hu Yingjie shook his head, "He is not that kind of person. I believe him. He is just curious..."

Village Chief Hu muttered, "You might as well go directly to him in two days and ask. Xu Huaiyi is an open and honest person. It seems petty for us to speculate like this behind our backs."

Hu Yingjie also had this intention and readily agreed.

Xu Huaiyi returned home and left with the 200 kilograms of donated grain.

After he left, Village Chief Xu began to recruit people again, this time including the villagers of Hutian Village, and initially settled on thirty people. He would wait for Xu Huaiyi to confirm the number of goods to be picked up before making adjustments.

The group of people recruited were first given on-the-job training. Xu Huaixiao was promoted to the supervisor in charge of production, so he naturally had to take on this responsibility. The others were a bit more straightforward, but in charge of production one had to have a real stubborn streak, which was appropriate. , I was not used to it at first, but after two days of adapting, I started to work well.

The same goes for others, like Meng Erzhu, who was in a hurry at first. He was in charge of purchasing various raw materials needed in the workshop. Things were quite complicated. In addition to being careful, he also had to be patient. He was under great pressure, lest he made any omissions. I'm sorry. Xu Huaiyi offered him such a high salary, which made him frightened for a while. He bit the bullet and worked hard for two days before slowly getting on the road.

Liu Xiuwen was fine, except that his accounts were a bit more.

Gao Zhuang was the most impatient. Ever since Xu Huaiyi left, he had been waiting for news. He ran to the village entrance countless times every day, stretching his neck back and forth, finally hoping for someone.

The person who came to discuss business was Su Zhe's chief steward, his name was Li Mingda. He was in his forties. From the looks of it, he didn't have the shrewdness and ability of a businessman at all. He looked more like a simple, laid-back, wealthy man. He took the letter and went to visit him first. Gu Huanxi also brought a cart full of gifts with him.

Gu Huanxi asked Wei An to go to the workshop and invited Village Chief Xu and Gao Zhuang. There were many people, and they could sit in the spacious hall with less gossip.

After the greetings, Gu Huanxi took the letter and looked at it. In fact, Xu Huaiyi had already entered the RV a day earlier and explained all the details of the cooperation to her. Manager Li came today just to go through the motions, but others didn't know. , so she pretended to read it and handed it to Village Chief Xu.

After Village Chief Xu read it, his hands trembled with excitement. This was even better than he thought. With such a large amount, he was still too conservative when recruiting thirty people.

Manager Li always smiled and looked very talkative, and was especially polite to Gu Huanxi. Before calling anyone, the young master had repeatedly warned him never to underestimate Mrs. Xu, who was the head of the family.

Su Zhe and Xu Huaiyi had already negotiated the specific charter. Gu Huanxi had nothing to worry about. He asked Village Chief Xu and Gao Zhuang to take him to the workshop for another on-site visit. There were pre-made items in the warehouse, such as hot pot base and ingredients. There is still a lot of fermented bean curd in stock. This time I will take a cart and put it in Shuiyunxuan to see what the response is.

Gu Huanxi did not follow. She took a look at the gifts that Manager Li brought. There were several snack boxes, several pieces of fabric, a whole sheep, half a fan of pork, and even the four treasures of the study for the children. It was very interesting. It was all made of silk, but the most eye-catching thing was the silk cotton, which weighed dozens of kilograms and completely filled the carriage.
