With a large sum of money being spent, Zhou Guicai had never considered helping Zhan Lingfeng. He bought everything good from any vendor, and the banquet was lively, with everyone from the village attending.
"Today is a joyous day for Xu and his bride. Everyone knows Xu is capable, and now that he has a woman by his side, his heart is settled. We are all looking forward to the development of the Warrior Family, so I just want to say that from now on, everyone in the village should listen to Xu; trusting him will not be a mistake." Zhou Guicai's voice was loud, drawing everyone's attention to the two young people.
This banquet was a type of celebration in the village; even though the couple didn't have a certificate, everyone in the village acknowledged their relationship.
Hearing Zhou Guicai's words, everyone nodded in agreement. Who didn't know about the situation of the Warrior Family? Yet, such a family had undergone tremendous changes because of Zhan Lingfeng. His story had become legendary throughout the village; who would dare to go to City alone to do business?
Thinking about what Zhan Lingfeng had accomplished, everyone couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Today, witnessing Zhan Lingfeng's impressive feats made them even more convinced.
"Village Chief, we understand this matter without you saying it; now the Warrior Family is remarkable."
"I think it's Xu who is remarkable!"
"Yes, that's right! Xu is amazing; in such a short time, he has transformed the entire village. I can hardly believe it!"
"Indeed! Xu, why don't you say a few words? You have insight; guide us on how to make money."
Everyone's gaze turned to Zhan Lingfeng.
"Xu, please say a few words," Zhou Guicai urged Zhan Lingfeng.
Zhan Lingfeng thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll talk about our family's next development plans. As you all know, we have contracted six thousand acres of land; of course, three thousand acres are mountainous. I plan to turn those three thousand acres into a Tea Garden. Everyone knows that Wei Hong'an is currently in charge of the Tea Garden; he is an experienced tea farmer and understands this well. Right now, I’m not thinking about making money from it; I just want to plant Tea Trees first. I will buy any Tea Trees you can dig up. Eventually, I want to turn the entire mountain into a Tea Garden, which will naturally require hiring many people. My mother and Wei Hong'an will be responsible for recruitment; as long as everyone is willing to work, we won't treat you unfairly."
"Everyone is very concerned about Xu's Tea Garden project. The village has a tradition of tea cultivation and has produced good tea before. Now everyone is digging up Tea Trees from various places," Wei Hong'an said happily. He had been nearly out of food but had now become the deputy manager of the Tea Garden and technical supervisor. The Warrior Family even paid him a monthly salary; he was so happy he woke up smiling.
"Besides collecting trees from within our land, I will also buy some Tea Trees from outside to plant. Professors from Provincial Capital will come to teach us about tea cultivation and processing techniques. I plan to gradually expand the garden until it reaches at least ten thousand acres of Tea Garden area. So don't worry about having nothing to do or not making money; there will definitely be opportunities for profit there."
Everyone listened attentively; when they thought about a ten-thousand-acre Tea Garden, many were even more astonished.
"Now let's talk about the situation with the three thousand acres of land abroad. The first thing I plan to establish is the Wild Chicken Farm. This type of wild chicken is in demand in the city and has high value. Once we scale up and obtain all the necessary licenses, we will operate throughout the country, which will also require hiring people. I intend to have Li Shitou in charge of the wild chicken farm as the farm manager."
Everyone's gaze immediately turned to Li Shitou, who straightened up and became more spirited.
The expressions of the villagers became complex; many thought to themselves that selling their daughter to Zhan Lingfeng was indeed a wise decision, and now Old Apricot seemed to be turning her fortunes around thanks to this connection!
As this thought emerged, those with daughters at home began to have their own ideas.
Even some Shrews kept casting glances at Zhan Lingfeng, who had become quite an impressive figure in everyone's eyes.
"Although our path is not smooth, we cannot stop seeking ways to get rich. The second thing I will establish is a Wild Boar Breeding Farm. I will purchase a large number of wild boars and set up a big breeding farm. Once we raise the wild boars, whether we transport them to the countryside for sale or slaughter them for sale, we are sure to make money. I plan to have Li Laosi manage this project."
Hunter Li Laosi, who was skilled not only in hunting pigs but also in raising them, was surprised that Zhan Lingfeng mentioned his name. He immediately perked up and said loudly, "As long as you trust me, don't worry! I can handle this!"
"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. You know who is who in the village; you can discuss with my mother about selecting suitable people for pig farming."
"Sure."
Another person on the path to prosperity!
No one expected that having Zhan Lingfeng speak would feel like an appointment meeting, making everyone a bit nervous. After this, they would need to hire workers, which would affect every household.
Huang Xiaocui also felt a bit anxious; her son's ambitions were getting quite large.
Thinking about the family's finances made Huang Xiaocui uneasy. Out of seventy thousand yuan, thirty thousand had been used for contracting land, and she had given Li Shitou's family sixteen thousand. That left only a little over twenty thousand yuan remaining. With her son wanting to expand so much, where would that money come from?
However, looking at her son's expression, Huang Xiaocui didn't know what to say.
Maybe she should go ask her son again.
Zhan Lingfeng knew very well that there wasn't much money left at home, but he still hoped to give the people in the village some hope. He also wanted to use this opportunity to promote himself, so that the surrounding villages would know about his presence. This way, the collection of Soft-shelled Turtle and wild game would increase, and money would come in faster. Once the scene was set up, finding someone to lend money wouldn't be a problem.
Of course, Zhan Lingfeng had one last trick up his sleeve: he thought of the tattooed individuals who had come today. They were part of a gang, and he could just eliminate them and take their money.
However, this was merely an idea from Zhan Lingfeng. He wouldn't act on it until the last moment.
Once the scene was established, he believed the next steps would become easier.
"Hey, I found a herd of wild deer in the mountains. Can we establish a deer farm?" Wang Ergou suddenly asked.
The Villagers burst into laughter.
Zhan Lingfeng was delighted; he truly needed a large amount of deer blood and antler for his cultivation. If he could raise a batch, it would indeed be a good project.
"If you can catch ten of them, not only will I buy them from you, but I will also have you manage the farm."
Wang Ergou was overjoyed and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely get them."
Everyone became enthusiastic again, discussing what they could do.
Zhan Lingfeng realized that there were many ideas he hadn't considered. Some even suggested beekeeping, which he hadn't thought of either. Therefore, as long as everyone proposed something he deemed feasible, he accepted their suggestions and appointed each person as the manager of their respective farms.
