Su Shuoci has perfectly solved the problem of leading everyone to grow medicinal herbs, and the only thing left is to encourage everyone to raise pigs.

Raising more pigs will provide a lot of pig manure as fertilizer. Using this organic fertilizer to grow medicinal herbs will make the medicine much more effective, according to his wife.

The villagers liked to use pig manure and chicken manure as fertilizer in order to save money because buying chemical fertilizers was too expensive.

They don't know that organic fertilizers are more effective on medicinal herbs than chemical fertilizers.

Another thing is that the cost of chemical fertilizers is indeed much higher than that of pig manure, so the cost of growing medicinal herbs is also higher.

Pig manure not only contains nutrients, but most of its nutrients are in organic form, making it easier for crops to use directly.

Organic fertilizer also has multiple advantages such as improving soil, increasing soil fertility, and improving soil environment.

It is particularly critical for the healthy growth of crops. Fertilizers made by chemical or physical methods will have a certain degree of irritation.

If the skin comes into direct contact with chemical fertilizers, symptoms such as itching, redness, and pain may occur. If you have an allergic constitution, you should seek medical attention.

This would increase costs even more, but Su Shuoci would not tell his fellow villagers so much.

He just told his fellow villagers how good pork was and that it could be made into bacon and sold in the city.

No matter how many pigs you raise, you don't have to wait until the Chinese New Year to slaughter them like before. As long as they weigh more than 150 kilograms, there will be people to buy them at any time.

What he said was simple and clear, and it maximized the benefits, so he got everyone's approval.

Even if there were a few people who disagreed, they didn't dare to say it out loud. In their hearts, they just wanted their family not to raise pigs.

They didn't want to join in the pig farming, mainly because they thought Su Shuoci was just doing it on a whim and would naturally give up after having enough fun.

So what should they do with the pigs in their pens?

But they would also think, what if Su Shuo resigned for real? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for them to say it rashly?

Those few people also knew their identities and status, and they were also aware that they could not compare with Su Shuoci at all.

As long as they help Su Shuo to open up new land, they will be paid, and they will not be deducted a penny.

They are not stupid. After so many years of life, they have realized one thing: don't be the first to act.

So they signed up to work at the pig farm run by Su Shuoci, to be breeders and help Su Shuoci with his work.

In their hearts, they still felt that Su Shuoci was no ordinary person. It was a miracle that he possessed such vision and courage at such a young age.

It would definitely be a good idea to follow him. Before long, the pig farm was basically full of people.

Hu Yungen finally benefited from his wife's influence, and Su Shuoci made him the manager of the pig farm.

The villagers had no objection, after all, he called Su Shuoci "big brother".

The mayor watched the whole process in amazement. This time he learned a lot. Comrade Su either said nothing or nothing.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he had to explain the benefits to the villagers, so that everyone would be excited and respond to him loudly.

Before coming to Shuanghe Village, the young boy was embarrassed to talk about money all the time.

However, the folks are so realistic that they like the speakers on the stage to talk about money all the time.

When talking about money, the villagers become very energetic and excited, expressing their opinions or whispering to each other.

The villagers in the threshing ground are no longer listless and quiet like chickens.

So, when he concluded his speech, he said loudly to everyone: "I came to Shuanghe Village this time mainly to sign an agreement with Comrade Su to protect the personal interests of the villagers and lead them to make more money."

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers cheered and expressed their gratitude to him.

"The new mayor is someone who gets things done."

"What a good man! We are no longer afraid that Brother Su will leave and never come back."

"Yes, with the new mayor guaranteeing us, what are we afraid of?"

"Yes, next year I will catch five pigs and raise them. I will also open up a piece of wasteland to grow medicinal herbs."

“…”

The young mayor waved his hand, asking the villagers to quiet down, and then continued, "Actually, I'm here today to make another announcement. I'm a principled person. As long as everyone abides by the rules, I can guarantee everyone's interests."

After listening to the young mayor's words, the villagers began to discuss excitedly again.

Even after the village chef had prepared the pig-killing meal, everyone was still talking about it with great interest.

It seems that pork is not as important as imagining the future, which makes Song Zijie feel very emotional.

"Brother Su, seeing this makes me want to live in Shuanghe Village to manage and grow medicinal herbs."

"From now on, collecting medicinal herbs will be your responsibility." Su Shuoci waved his hand. He just couldn't find anyone to contact him.

After staying in the village for three days, Su Shuoci drove Song Zijie back to Qingcheng because his wife was going to have winter vacation.

Originally, Gu Jiaojiao said she wanted to go back to Qingcheng, but Su Shuoci was afraid that it would be too tiring for her to travel back and forth, so he returned to the imperial capital early.

Because Second Brother Gu is holding a wedding banquet at the end of the year, Su Shuoci and Gu Jiaojiao must attend.

Sheng Shiwu also had winter vacation, but he didn't plan to attend Second Brother Gu's wedding because the round-trip fare was too expensive.

He earned some money working in a medical equipment factory, and bought clothes for himself and a long down jacket for his older brother.

During this period, he secretly asked Su's mother to make some meat sauce for him and send it to his eldest brother, so he didn't have much money left.

He didn't spend a penny on his second brother, let alone give a penny to his sister.

Sheng Yueliang knew that he was a student and had no intention of taking advantage of him.

He bought a gift in the store and asked his eldest brother Gu to give it to his second brother Gu. He and his second brother Gu had a good relationship.

Because the two of them often gossip about Su Shuoci in private, they also discuss their sister Gu Jiaojiao.

When he saw the dark and thin Brother Gu, he wanted to lend him the hundred yuan he had hidden.

Because he felt guilty about his sister asking too much from Brother Gu, he was afraid that Brother Gu would not have enough money for the trip home.

"Xiao Wu, I won't lend you this money for now." Brother Gu said embarrassedly.

"Your salary this month is only enough for the trip home, right? So why don't you buy a gift for your second brother?"

"I do want to buy gifts, but if I go home for the wedding, I'll have to stay home for the New Year and might not be back to work until next year. Are you worried?"

"Well, look at what Big Brother said. How can I not trust you? You have money to protect yourself, and it won't make your parents worry."

"Thank you very much, Xiao Wu. I will pay you back next year when I get my salary."

When Brother Gu talked about paying back the money, he thought of his promise to give it to Sheng Yueliang when he got his salary next year, and he hesitated to speak.

Xiao Wu was right. If he had money, his grandpa and parents wouldn't be so disappointed.

In the end, Brother Gu still had the heart to lend Sheng Shiwu a hundred yuan, which was a huge sum of money for him, two months' salary.

But it is also his confidence and face. He should not be stingy when he goes home and cannot afford to buy a decent gift.

Sheng Shiwu was looking after his elder brother, and he really wanted to tell him not to give money to his sister anymore.

After thinking about it, he decided to call and tell Brother Gu.
