Chapter 454 Not a single chicken could get out.
But the villager from Lin Village clearly misunderstood the man's reaction.
He squinted at the two of them, feeling that this cunning girl from the An family definitely had no good intentions.
But after seeing the results of the renovations of the resettlement houses in Jiangcun, he felt somewhat unwilling.
Xinlin Village also has a geographical advantage, and they moved here two years earlier than them.
Some tenants have already settled down.
Unlike them, they not only moved here much later than Xinlin Village, but also later than Jiang Village.
Moreover, Jiangcun has basically renovated all the houses.
The people of Xinlin Village were worried that the people of Jiang Village would steal their tenants.
But most people know the truth.
Jiangcun's house is decorated like that, so the rent will definitely be higher than theirs.
Those who rent houses in Jiangcun are not necessarily their target customers.
But... the people of Xinlin Village were still unwilling to give up.
They're all resettlement housing. Although they start earning money two years earlier, their rent is obviously much higher!
But let them vacate the house and renovate it.
Let's not even talk about whether they're willing to spend the money on renovations.
Their existing tenants are also a source of income that they absolutely cannot afford to lose.
Furthermore, by starting renovations now, they are clearly a step behind the people of Jiangcun.
Then we'll be even less competitive.
Therefore, Xinlin Village quickly figured out its own positioning.
They had absolutely no intention of getting involved in Lin Village's plan to recruit tenants after the New Year.
After all, compared to Jiangcun, the people of Lincun, who had just received their resettlement housing and had nothing, were their competitors!
The people of Lin Village are aware of their predicament, and now they are in an even more difficult situation.
Some people are hesitant, wondering if they should follow Jiangcun's example and finish the renovations first.
Even if they miss the initial leasing period this year, in the long run, they should still be able to compete with Jiangcun.
However, considering the average income of people in nearby factories, it doesn't seem very necessary.
It's just that Lin Village's location makes its competitiveness less obvious.
The Jiang villagers didn't notice the rather unpleasant look on the Lin villagers' faces. After he realized what was happening, he quickly pulled An Songyu and the other man to find Jiang Wenlin.
"Village chief, we're going to start renting out our houses early next year. How much should we set the rent?"
Jiang Wenlin was surrounded by people from Jiangcun, and they all realized what he meant after hearing his words.
Yes, although many of their houses are not yet fully renovated.
However, there are indeed quite a few houses available for rent.
How to rent it out and how much to rent it out are all questions.
Jiang Wenlin wasn't in a hurry; there was plenty of time during the long Spring Festival.
Many people from other places either go home for the Spring Festival or come out to find work after the Spring Festival.
They usually don't come out until around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
As for those who arrived early, they either already had jobs or accommodations.
Not many people would rent their houses!
Jiang Wenlin's composure naturally inspired the people of Jiang Village.
On the contrary, everyone in Lin Village was in a particularly bad mood after hearing the news brought back by the people they had just met with An Songyu.
This time, they specifically chose this place to worship their ancestors, which was indeed partly to show off to the people of Jiang Village.
But after hearing this news...
Fortunately, they had finished paying respects to their ancestors and were waiting for their meal. Otherwise, if they had told their ancestors that they were doing well, their ancestors probably wouldn't have believed them given their expressions.
An Songyu and An Songlin arrived late, and with An Songlin's company, they went to pay their respects again before descending the mountain.
Over here at the ancestral hall, a portable stove made from a large tin oil drum has already been set up.
In addition to the roasted pig and roasted goose used for ancestral worship, there were also dishes prepared on-site today.
Of course, there's also a classic dish that's indispensable for the people of Shuncheng.
"Looks like we're going to have poached chicken again!" Jian Ziyu sighed with mixed feelings as she saw the familiar cooking method over there.
An Songyu looked over as well, and sure enough, this delicious dish, which was always present on auspicious days, appeared again.
She couldn't help but recall a joke from later generations: "I doubt there's a single chicken that can actually make it out of the Southern Province alive!"
"It's not just the Southern Province, we probably won't even be able to leave our Shuncheng!" An Songrui, who had just walked over, greeted the two of them while adding this with an air of seriousness.
Someone nearby overheard him saying this, and immediately someone said in a serious tone, "Then it must be because there are fewer people raising chickens."
"If we could do what we did back in Jiangcun, we could not only feed ourselves, but also provide food for people outside Shuncheng!"
"Then why didn't you do it back in Jiangcun?"
"How could it not have been done?"
Upon hearing this person's words, the people around immediately looked over.
He said with great pride, "Our Jiangcun farmhouses are famous not only in Shuncheng."
“Every time the holiday is a little longer, Jiangcun welcomes so many people from outside Shuncheng!”
Well, they really couldn't refute that.
In an instant, everyone burst into laughter.
They've made sure that people outside of Shuncheng can also enjoy the chickens from Shuncheng.
However, once An Songyu and the other person sat down at the table, they still had to eat the poached chicken.
The person who just answered An Songrui's call even came to their table and took a look around.
Then he said, "Although they are all poached chicken, the taste is very different because of the different people who make it, the different chickens used, and even the different cooking utensils."
"You should really try it. I'm sure the poached chicken we make today will taste even better than the one you made at home yesterday!"
An Songyu asked with some curiosity, "Why? Is it because you have some special skill?"
"Haha! Xiaoyu thinks so much..." Everyone around couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing An Songyu's confused expression, the person who had spoken earlier reluctantly explained to the group, "Of course, it's because the chicken we used today was of good quality!"
“The chickens we’re using today aren’t the specially raised ones; they’re the real free-range chickens, like the ones you raise over there.”
"Besides that, the fire here is strong, the pot is big, and it's convenient to work!"
All right!
This unexpected yet somewhat predictable answer finally prompted An Songyu to pick up a piece of chicken with her chopsticks.
Chien Tzu-yu, who was standing next to her, also forgot her earlier reluctance to eat and took a small piece with her wife.
I tasted it carefully...
This does seem to taste a bit better?
For a moment, neither of them knew whether they were influenced by their own thoughts or if it was simply the truth.
Just then, An Songlin suddenly said, "Ayu, you should eat more!"
An Songyu looked up, not quite understanding.
An Songlin said with particular melancholy, "Because a good portion of these chickens come from our reservoir!"
