"Tomorrow is especially important; the shipment must not be delayed the day after tomorrow."
"Little sister, tell me your plan first, and I'll add to it."
"If anyone has any good suggestions, we can discuss them together."
Just now, as she descended the mountain, Ruan Meng had already gone through the plan in her mind, and the plan she presented was already very comprehensive.
"Dear brothers and sisters-in-law, tomorrow's work can be divided into three parts."
"First, we need to expand the house; second, we need to process the oysters; and third, we need to arrange food and drink for our own people."
"Among them, expanding the house required logging on the mountain and firing clay bricks..."
"The village chief is helping with the oyster collection, but we still need to assign people to clean and shuck them..."
“We bought millet on our way back from the city today, so we can make sure everyone has enough to eat for the next two weeks. I suggest that at least one person stay home to cook.”
The third child spoke first, "Little sister, can we have seafood with gravy too?"
I only managed to have two bites during my trip to the city today, which wasn't enough!
The eyes of both the Song and Fan families lit up!
Ruan Meng curled her lips into a smile, deliberately saying, "That won't do..."
Although neither family said anything, the light in their eyes clearly dimmed.
The third brother, understanding his sister's feelings, didn't immediately react, but listened to what Ruan Meng said:
"Everyone has helped us so much, how can we only eat those few dishes?"
"Don't worry! I guarantee everyone will have a different meal every day for the next two weeks!"
"The only requirement is that everyone can relax a bit before the village chief hands over the collected oysters?"
"Let's go beachcombing first. I'll cook everything except oysters into delicious dishes for you!"
The eyes of the Song and Fan families converged once again!
Ruan Qian smiled faintly and asked Ruan Meng, "Is there anything else you want to say, little sister?"
Ruan Meng asked Fan Zizhong, "Brother Fan, have you started planting the chili peppers and wild millet chili pepper plants that you sent last time? How long will it take?"
Fan Zizhong said solemnly, "I really want to find an opportunity to tell you that the soil by the sea is not very suitable for growing chili peppers."
"My second brother and I have turned over two plots of land in the past two days. We'll plant more after we've composted the soil."
“It grows inland, and it takes about three months to grow. This stuff has a high yield.”
"But I'm not confident about the seaside location. I just don't know if you're in a hurry?"
Ruan Meng thought for a moment and suggested, "Brother Fan, focus on the wild millet peppers."
"I dug this up in the mountains. Is it because it's more suitable for growing in the mountains? Is it faster to compost and grow it than you can around here where you live?"
"I'm going to use this in the soup, and I'll be using a lot of it. Today, I bought some regular chili peppers from the city. Brother Fan, guess how much they cost per pound?"
Five coins!
Fan Zizhong was somewhat shocked.
Ruan Meng continued, "Wild millet peppers are produced in very small quantities. I went up the mountain several times later and only found a few."
"The spiciness of wild millet peppers surpasses that of ordinary peppers, so selling them at a higher price is no problem."
"It's not just for me; as long as Brother Fan can grow it, I guarantee I'll sell it all for you! Just be quick, I need it urgently!"
Upon hearing this, Fan Zizhong was immediately filled with enthusiasm and quickly agreed.
"Alright! I'll wait, little sister. I'll produce in large quantities in three months!"
Ruan Meng nodded, "I'll go up the mountain tomorrow to look for wild Sichuan peppercorns and peppercorns. If I find them, Second Brother, we can plant them together. Then we won't have to worry about selling them in the future!"
Now, not only Fan Zizhong, but also Fan Zili and his wife were visibly excited.
Ruan Meng looked at her eldest brother and said, "Big brother, tomorrow I'll take Third Brother up the mountain to look for wild millet peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and other wild peppercorns. We'll also find some wild vegetables for everyone to enjoy."
The bark of the ironwood tree wasn't completely removed last time.
Ruan Qian asked, "Is the third brother enough? Do you need the second brother's help?"
The second child stood tall and proud, trying to make his presence felt.
Unfortunately, Ruan Meng chuckled, "No way! I'm not afraid of poisonous insects in the mountains, but I'm afraid my second brother will scream and startle me!"
The second son blushed, while the others suppressed their laughter.
Ruan Qian concluded, "My sister has considered everything very thoroughly. I'll proceed with the specific allocation of personnel based on her analysis."
"Shiwen, arrange for your family to receive the oysters that the villagers have dug up, which are handed over by the village chief."
"Weigh and record the oysters, then clean and shuck them."
"My second brother, Zizhong, and Zili, along with I, will expand the house tomorrow under the leadership of Brother Feng Xi."
"My two younger brothers and sisters-in-law, please help prepare meals for everyone and look after the children."
"Little sister and third brother, go up the mountain and get on with your work."
"Madam, shall you take charge of boiling the oyster meat?"
Regarding the division of labor, no one else had any objections, but when it came to Ruan Qian, almost everyone spoke in unison.
"Brother Ruan, you'll be in charge of scheduling!"
"Brother Ruan, you don't need to get involved!"
"Big brother, I'll build the house!"
......
Once the noise subsided, Ruan Meng said, "Brother, someone still needs to make arrangements on site. As for me going up the mountain, if anyone has a question, someone needs to answer their questions and handle temporary coordination."
