By the end of the meeting, more than a dozen people had gathered around to sign up.
Chen Changyuan wrote down the names one by one, and then said to the first group of ten people selected: "Tomorrow morning, gather in my yard. We will start preparing immediately."
That night, Chen Changyuan did not rest. He carefully sorted out the various tasks of the transport team in the dim light of the kerosene lamp.
He mapped out several transport routes, marked supply points and rest stops along the way, and made a detailed vehicle maintenance checklist.
"long,"
Fang Suxia came in with a bowl of steaming noodles and said, "Don't tire yourself out, eat something."
Chen Changyuan looked up and saw his mother's haggard but hopeful face, and his heart was filled with excitement.
"Mom, don't worry,"
He took the bowl of noodles and said, "I will run this transport team well and make life better for Qingshui Village!"
Chen Changyuan is determined to run this medicinal material base well. Now that Wang Fugui has been arrested, Qingshui Village needs people.
At this critical moment, Zhou Changhe is also keeping a close eye on him.
Chen Changyuan plans to start expanding the farm once the medicinal materials base and transportation team are stabilized.
The next morning, while it was still light, the ten selected villagers had gathered in Chen Changyuan's yard.
Their expressions varied greatly, some were excited, some were nervous, and some even had suspicion mixed in.
Chen Changyuan stood in the center of the courtyard, his eyes sweeping over everyone's faces.
He took a deep breath and spoke loudly: "Brothers! Today is the official establishment of our transport team. Thank you all for your trust!"
After a pause, he continued, "We have a clear division of labor! Engineer Li, Wang Ergou, Zhang Xiaoming, Li Kai, and Zhao Wu, you guys will be in charge of driving!"
"Where are the others? They're responsible for loading and unloading!"
When several people heard their names, their backs straightened instantly.
Chen Changyuan saw the joy flashing in Li Gong's eyes and felt secretly happy.
Mr. Li is well-known in the village for his ability. I guess he had already figured out how to show off in the village when he became a driver?
"Let's go! Let's go to the county to check out the car first!"
Chen Changyuan waved his hand and was the first to leave the yard.
A group of people rushed to the county town.
On the way, Chen Changyuan noticed that Zhou Changhe's youngest son had hidden the tree and followed him secretly.
Haha, he snorted in his heart, it seems that the Zhou family really doesn’t want to let him go?
When we arrived at the county town, three brand-new trucks were quietly parked in the yard of the pharmaceutical company.
The villagers screamed and rushed forward to touch the shiny body of the car.
"Look! This is our real 'gold nugget'!"
Chen Changyuan grinned and said, "Everyone must cherish it!"
He waved to Li Gong: "Come on, go up and try it!"
Mr. Li climbed into the driver's seat excitedly, stroking the steering wheel with both hands. His expression looked like he was drunk.
The others took turns sitting in the driver's seat. The energy was so great that everyone who saw it laughed.
On the way back to the village, Chen Changyuan began to carefully explain the route and precautions.
"We mainly run three lines!"
He pointed at the map in his hand, "Qingshui Village is the first route that goes directly to the county seat!"
"From the county to the provincial capital, the second route!"
"From the provincial capital to the coastal city, this is the third route! I've clearly marked the rest stops and gas stations along each route!"
The villagers listened attentively and nodded continuously.
Chen Changyuan added, "Loading and unloading must be done with care, especially with herbs that break easily!"
"Not only will we have to pay for the damage, but our reputation will also suffer!"
At this point, his tone suddenly became serious: "Safety comes first! Drivers must not drive too fast, and must slow down when encountering dangerous sections of road!"
"Be careful when loading and unloading, brothers! Why rush? Safety first!"
Everyone responded in agreement.
Chen Changyuan looked at these sincere faces, and suddenly a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Hey, aren’t these honest folks the source of my hard work?
After returning to the village, Chen Changyuan asked everyone to go home and rest and gather again tomorrow morning.
After he returned to his room, he immediately started planning the expansion of the farm.
The faint light of the oil lamp was swallowed up by the night outside the window, but Chen Changyuan was completely unaware of the passage of time.
He concentrated on drawing lines on the paper, thinking about the expansion plan of the farm.
His experience of working on a livestock farm in his previous life gave him unique insights into the breeding industry, and now it comes in handy.
"The original pig house will be retained, but the ventilation system needs to be improved..."
As Chen Changyuan painted, he muttered to himself, "This vacant lot on the east side is suitable for chicken and duck farming. It's high, has good drainage, and avoids the main wind direction to reduce odor."
He paused for a moment, frowning slightly, and then marked on the other side of the drawing: "The northwest corner can be developed into a special area for fur animal breeding. Mink and fox are both good animals, and their fur is valuable."
Thinking of the price of mink fur coats he had seen in his previous life, Chen Changyuan couldn't help but smile.
Just as he was concentrating on painting, Fang Suxia gently pushed open the door, bringing a bowl of hot ginger tea.
"It's so late, why don't you rest?"
Fang Suxia looked at her son distressedly, "If you ruin your health, no matter how great your skills are, it will be useless."
Chen Changyuan looked up and saw that the wrinkles at the corners of his mother's eyes were particularly obvious under the dim light, and his heart ached.
The pain of losing my mother in my previous life is still as clear as a knife.
He took the ginger tea, took a sip, and warmth spread from his chest.
"It will be fine soon, go to sleep first."
Fang Suxia shook her head and sat down on a small stool beside her stubbornly: "I'll wait for you."
Chen Changyuan smiled helplessly and quickened his pace. In less than half an hour, a detailed farm expansion plan appeared on paper.
"Okay, Mom, let's go to bed."
At dawn, Qingshui Village was shrouded in a thin layer of mist.
Chen Changyuan was already standing in the yard, with the transport team members ready to go beside him.
"Today is our first official trip, so everyone cheer up!"
Chen Changyuan looked around at everyone and said in a strong voice, "The first batch of medicinal materials will be shipped to the county pharmaceutical company. The quantity is not large, and it is mainly for trial operation to test our process."
Li Gong patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Captain, I will complete the task!"
Chen Changyuan directed everyone to load the truck, and he himself also took action, carrying bundles of packaged medicinal materials.
Sweat soon soaked his vest, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
After the cargo was loaded, Chen Changyuan dusted off his hands and said, "Engineer Li and I will take the first car and lead the way. Ergou, you drive the second car and keep a close eye on us."
The convoy slowly drove out of the village, and the villagers came out to see them off, many of them with envious eyes.
Chen Changyuan caught a glimpse of Zhou Changhe standing at the door of Zhou's house, looking at the convoy with a gloomy face.
"Oh, you have to watch it even if you don't like it."
Chen Changyuan thought to himself.
Along the way, he taught Mr. Li driving skills from time to time, which were the experience accumulated in his previous life.
"Don't brake when going downhill, shift to a lower gear and use the engine braking."
"Slow down before turning, and don't brake on the curve, as it can easily tip over."
Li Gong nodded repeatedly, occasionally exclaiming in amazement: "Captain Chen, is this a skill you've acquired through practice? You can actually practice like this?"
Chen Changyuan smiled but didn't answer, saying only, "Practice makes perfect."
