Grandpa Guo waved his hand and said, "No need. We are from the same village. Why would I be afraid that you would cheat me? It doesn't matter. I will make it for you directly. You can just come and get it when the time comes."

Seeing that Grandpa Guo was so straightforward, Lu Chengcheng didn't insist on paying him: "Then come and tell me when you're done, and I'll pay you."

Grandpa Guo responded happily: "Okay."

……

In the afternoon, the technical instructor came over.

Lu Chengcheng first took the technical instructor to the town for a meal, and then asked him to do the work, hoping that he would do his best.

The technical instructor was very conscientious and made arrangements immediately.

Order wooden frames, bamboo plaques, and all the utensils needed for raising silkworms.

While he was busy, Lu Chengcheng was not idle either. She was planning to hire a few workers for the silkworm house, otherwise there would be so much work without anyone to do it.

Lu Chengcheng made an announcement in the village to recruit people, and people who wanted to work in the silkworm house came to the village primary school.

Lu Chengcheng had already stated the requirements on the radio: be literate, under 50 years old, patient, able to obey instructions, and quick, so only five people came.

Five is exactly the number of people Lu Chengcheng needs, which saves her the embarrassment of chasing people away.

Lu Chengcheng said to them, "Ladies, I want to talk to you about the treatment issue."

This is what everyone wanted to hear the most, and everyone pricked up their ears.

Lu Chengcheng slowed down his tone and said, "The basic salary is 3,000 yuan a month, with a bonus of 500 yuan and a performance bonus of 500 yuan. If you have made contributions, you will receive additional rewards, depending on the size of your contributions."

Xu Mei asked: "Cheng Cheng, what is performance?"

Lu Chengcheng simply put it: "Performance refers to the completion of work, the degree of fulfillment of responsibilities, etc. In simple terms, it means whether you have completed the work and how well you have completed it."

Now everyone will understand what I mean.

Xu Mei quickly assured: "Cheng Cheng, don't worry, we will definitely work hard to complete it and make you satisfied."

Lu Chengcheng nodded and smiled slightly, "That would be great. Then I'll have a reason to give you more bonuses."

After finishing talking about the important matters with everyone, Lu Chengcheng went to buy brooms, shovels and other cleaning tools and asked everyone to clean the house.

Everyone was very satisfied with the salary of 4,000 yuan, so they worked very hard. After Lu Chengcheng arranged the work, she didn't have to worry about it, and they all did their job well.

……

After being dried in the sun for a few days, the kudzu root powder was finally dry. It was put into a blender and ground into fine powder. Lu Chengcheng collected it all together and weighed it. It weighed thirty kilograms.

Pueraria root powder costs fifty yuan per pound, and here are thirty pounds, which costs fifteen hundred yuan.

Lu Chengcheng put the Pueraria powder away.

Just as she put the Pueraria powder in place, the phone rang. She picked up the phone... It was Nie Haichuan calling her, saying that the mountain had been dug and mulberry trees could be planted.

Lu Chengcheng rushed over immediately.

The mountain that was originally covered with weeds and shrubs has been completely flattened and now has become a flat land. The color of the soil is lighter than that of ordinary soil, and the contrast is very obvious.

Lu Chengcheng walked around the mountain, then went to the broadcasting room and asked everyone to help her plant mulberry trees.

It costs one dollar to plant a mulberry tree. All you have to do is plant it and she will water it.

There is no need for watering, and it is quite cost-effective at one dollar per plant. The villagers who have nothing to do came here, received the mulberry trees from Lu Chengcheng, and started planting.

The mulberry trees are spaced 1.5 meters apart. Nie Haichuan designated the locations for them and the villagers just had to plant them.

After watching the villagers plant for a while, Lu Chengcheng went back and brought back two small buckets. The buckets could only hold about ten pounds of water, which was very easy to carry in hand.

Lu Chengcheng put the small bucket at the edge of the field, scooped water into the bucket with a ladle, then dipped his wrist in the water, poured out a bowl of gourd water and mixed it with the water in the field, and then used it to water the field.

One bowl of water is enough to water one mulberry tree, and two buckets of water can be used to water forty trees, which is relatively easy.

We worked from morning to night, and continued working the next day. It took two days, and finally all the mulberry seedlings were planted.

Lu Chengcheng also watered the mulberry seedlings, which made everyone admire Lu Chengcheng's hard-working spirit.

After the work was completed, Lu Chengcheng called everyone over and distributed their wages to everyone.

The villagers got the money and went home satisfied.

Lu Chengcheng returned to the mountain and looked at it again. From now on, her territory expanded a little more.

Everything is fine here for the time being, so Lu Chengcheng went to the village primary school.

This place has been cleaned and the wooden racks, bamboo plaques and other silkworm breeding tools have been put in place. The next step is to wait for the silkworm eggs to come in. But there is no rush. We need to wait until the mulberry leaves grow before buying the silkworm eggs to hatch them.

Lu Chengcheng looked around the rooms and felt like something was missing.

Granny Zheng came over and said, "Cheng Cheng, when are we going to pick up the silkworm eggs?"

Lu Chengcheng thought for a while and said, "Wait half a month. The mulberry leaves should be grown by then."

Granny Zheng nodded and said, "That's fine. It takes time for the silkworm eggs to hatch. By the time they grow up, there will be enough mulberry leaves to eat."

Lu Chengcheng said hesitantly: "Mother-in-law, do you feel like something is missing here?"

"Is something missing?" Granny Zheng turned around to look at the things in the house. "Nothing is missing."

Lu Chengcheng reacted at this time: "The air conditioner has not been installed yet." How can large-scale breeding be done without air conditioning?

Lu Chengcheng called the manufacturer directly and asked them to install fifteen air conditioners for her.

If you buy so many air conditioners at once, you can save a lot of money and have no worries about after-sales service if you buy them directly from the manufacturer.

The manufacturer quickly sent someone over to install the air conditioner for Lu Chengcheng.

Once the air conditioner is installed, everything is ready.

……

Three days later, Lu Chengcheng went to water the mulberry seedlings again.

This time she used pure calabash water for watering. This place is far away from the village and not many people pass by. Even if they see it from a distance, they will just think it is growing fast and will not suspect anything else.

After watering the gourds, Lu Chengcheng took some wood ash and sprinkled it on each plant.

Don't worry about it anymore.

The village chief called Lu Chengcheng and said, "Chengcheng, the swallow house has been repaired. Come and take a look."

"Here I come." Lu Chengcheng happily went to the new swallow house.

There are a total of six swallow houses built here, each of which is relatively spacious and has the same structure as the swallow house next to the vegetable garden.

After Lu Chengcheng took a look, he accepted it directly, paid the money to the village chief, and then thanked him profusely.

The village chief and the workers went aside to divide the money. Lu Chengcheng returned to the old house, brought over the feces of the swiftlets and white swallows, and smeared them in the swallow house.

There should be fewer swiftlets, occupying two swallow houses, and there should be more white swallows, occupying four swallow houses.

After applying it, Lu Chengcheng went back to take a shower immediately.

……

The next day, Lu Chengcheng saw swallows flying in and out of the swallow house.

With the arrival of the swallows, the number of Chinese grasshoppers in the sweet potato fields gradually decreased. They were no longer a threat, but they could not be completely eaten, so a new ecosystem was formed here.
