Chapter 18 Buying Land
"Brother Xia, put Xuanxuan down quickly. There is too much dust on the country kids. Your clothes have been soiled."
"It would be great if I had a daughter like this." Xia Yunyuan muttered with lingering feeling.
"Brother Xia, the village chief is here. Let's go check out the factory address together."
Xia Yunyuan put Xuanxuan down and turned back from time to time to joke with Xuanxuan.
The shopkeeper did not go because he was afraid that the carriage would run into the children who were watching the fun.
The three of them came to the foot of the hill together. There were willow trees everywhere. Xia Luo told Xia Yunyuan about his plan. He planned to open a medicinal material processing factory and a seasoning factory. The two factories were in their own factory areas and did not conflict with each other.
Xia Yunyuan kept nodding. Xia Luo had a good sense for business, was daring, and had a flexible mind. She managed the business and promoted it herself. Together, they would soon be treated differently by the family.
"Uncle village chief, can you grant me a residential plot? I want to build a factory and a house together."
"Then we can mark out a piece of land to the east of your house, and when the government comes to measure the dimensions, we can approve it together."
"Is that hill over there part of the village or someone else's?" Charlotte pointed to a hill covered with willow trees.
"It's in the village. The villagers have dug up all the vegetables inside. A little further inside is another mountain. No one dares to go into the deep woods."
"Then I'll trouble you, uncle. I'll take them all. Please calculate how much silver it is."
"The homestead, the factory address, and the hill add up to 180 taels of silver. This is the lowest price for you."
"Okay, here are two hundred taels of silver. You'll need to help entertain the people coming to the yamen, and for the rest, I'll have to trouble the village chief to give some tips to the yamen runners, so they can enjoy the land demarcation."
Xia Yunyuan didn't say a word the whole time, just watched Xia Luo negotiate with the village chief.
The village chief admired Charlotte's generosity. He was also capable of doing things and would not make mistakes in the future.
"Brother Xia, do you have any suggestions?" Xia Luo looked at Xia Yunyuan left and right, without saying anything, but his eyes were shining.
"Sister, you are smart. I am not familiar with this place. The address has been decided. Sister, go back and write down the materials you need, and I will transport everything."
"Uncle village chief, you will talk to the villagers about recruiting workers. We pay 25 cents per person per day, and we will settle accounts once a week. The start date will be announced soon. However, we don't want those who are cunning and dishonest. We don't want those with bad character. Uncle village chief, please help me check."
"I'll be there now. The factory is right at the doorstep. Don't worry, I know what to do." The village chief said hello to Xia Yunyuan and left.
"I'll find a bricklayer." Xia Yunyuan suddenly remembered to find a bricklayer quickly.
"Well, there are many things that need to be written down, otherwise you will have to run around if you forget."
The two men were thinking about building a factory as they walked home, but they had no idea what details they would need.
To outsiders, it seems that the two people are very ambiguous and are just dating.
There were many children in front of Charlotte's house looking at the carriage, touching it here and there.
Many villagers were also curious about why the carriage went to her house?
So when they got home, Xia Yunyuan stamped the dust off his shoes and waved his hand to call Xuanxuan over.
He stroked her head and said, "When your uncle goes back, ask your mother to take you to the restaurant one day, and your uncle will take you to buy toys."
"Thank you, uncle. Goodbye, uncle."
Charlotte saw the shopkeeper turn the car around and called them to "Wait a moment."
Charlotte asked them to take back the sauerkraut that she had pickled a few days ago.
She took two more big fish. Her car was still at the restaurant, so she had to take a car back.
In the car, Charlotte was drawing and writing with a pen and paper. When they were almost at the restaurant, Charlotte handed two pieces of paper to Xia Yunyuan.
"Brother Xia, this is the factory plan, and this is the material usage."
"Okay, I'll go back and take a look. But what dish are you going to make with so much cabbage and fish? It's almost noon, and I might as well show off my cooking skills and let my brother taste what the fish and cabbage taste like together." Xia Yunyuan just wanted to eat the dishes cooked by Xia Luo.
"Okay then, let's make more for lunch today and see how the diners react."
The waiter moved the sauerkraut to the kitchen and put the two fish into the bucket.
Charlotte cleaned the pickled cabbage, cut it into shreds, and set it aside. She also cut the fish fillets and set them aside. Then she fried the chili peppers and peppercorns in vegetable oil until fragrant.
First boil the sauerkraut in hot water. After about half an hour, the diners arrived.
She put the cooked pickled cabbage in one of the small pots, put the fish fillet in the pot, and then poured fried chili and peppercorns on it. The aroma filled the restaurant.
"Hurry, bring it to the boss." The shopkeeper urged the waiter.
"Boss, what delicious dishes have you made today? Bring them up quickly. I can eat two big bowls of rice just by smelling them."
Charlotte served it to the diners in a small pot.
Then I told Master Zheng, "You have seen the process of making pickled fish. This amount will be served to customers in the future."
"Second Master, can sauerkraut be used to make other dishes?" asked a young chef.
"I can cook many kinds of dishes, but I have something to do today. I'll come over when I have time and cook for you."
When Xia Luo went to the private room on the second floor, he saw that Xia Yunyuan had eaten almost all of the pickled fish.
"This is so delicious. My sister's cooking skills are really unique. Our restaurant will promote pickled fish today."
“The chefs all know how to make it, and the diners are already enjoying it.”
Charlotte laughed at him for eating too much. If this was stewed meat with pickled cabbage and vermicelli, he would be so full that he would be beyond belief.
"But you have to buy pickled sauerkraut from Aunt Zhang's house. I'm afraid the pickles from other houses won't be pickled well and may cause poisoning."
"Okay, you contact the shopkeeper about this matter, and you can purchase goods from her in the future." Charlotte gave Aunt Zhang's family a chance to get rich.
As for Zhuzi's mother's family, if it doesn't work out, let them raise fish. Dig a piece of land on the west side of the house into a pond. Zhuzi's father can't do heavy work, so let him feed the fish and look after the pond, and find something to do.
"Just buy the fish from Zhuzi's mother. I'm going to dig a pond for them and introduce fish fry for making pickled fish. If the pickled fish sells well, their lives will also improve. The key is that they have good character."
"A brother will obey unconditionally whoever his sister trusts." Xia Yunyuan was telling the truth. He believed in Charlotte and really wanted to treat her like his own sister.
There is now a dish of pickled fish on every table in the lobby, and some diners even said they would bring their families to eat there in the evening.
There is only a little bit of sauerkraut, and I think it will be used up tonight.
Charlotte was lucky to have pickled a lot of cabbages at home in advance. I'll ask the shopkeeper to bring them over tomorrow. It will be fine for a week. When these are almost finished, the cabbages that have just been pickled will be ready soon.
It seems that we need to identify the farmers who sell cabbage, otherwise after this season, there will be no cabbage left. Stockpiling cabbage is imperative.
After eating a little, Xia Luo had something on his mind, so he said goodbye to Xia Yunyuan.
She went to the market to find the farmers who were selling cabbage. They were from the next village, and every family grew cabbage.
Now that Charlotte had no place to store the vegetables she had bought, she placed an order with the farmer for 10,000 kilograms, paid a deposit, and had them delivered to Liushu Village in half a month.
He bought another five thousand kilograms and ten large vats and placed them in the space.
Take out 500 kilograms of fish by night and take out the big vat. Let Zhuzi's mother and Aunt Zhang continue to pickle it tomorrow.
There are two sides to this story.
The village chief told the villagers about the recruitment.
We are currently recruiting 30 people. The future recruitment will depend on market demand.
The villagers were very happy. They could work right at their doorstep, and the wages were higher than in the city.
By noon, the yard was filled with people who went to the village chief's house to register.
