Looking at his excited expression, Yu Yuehui hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you planning to work with the villagers?"
She paused briefly, then continued without hesitation, "I'm not trying to discourage you, but our village is complicated. There are many people, and everyone has their own thoughts. It's too difficult to unite everyone as one."
“In the past, my father had thought about how to generate income for the village. After all, there were quite a few villages around that had developed. Take Dahe Village for example, they have developed very well by treading stones.”
"But our village is different. People aren't united, so it's hard to accomplish anything."
Xie Yan shook his head slightly, his eyes full of confidence, and explained, "My method is different from the others. This is a project for the village collective, not for individuals. As for how to distribute the profits, that's entirely up to Father."
“Dad has lived in the village his whole life and has interacted with everyone for longer than we have. He definitely knows better than us what to do.”
Yu Yuehui, her face full of curiosity and her eyes wide open, pressed, "What exactly are you going to do?"
Xie Yan's lips curled into a mysterious smile, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense: "Do you remember what I said to others about the dishes I brought out last time?"
Yu Yuehui nodded without hesitation and replied without thinking, "Of course I remember! You said you bought them from the city, where there are greenhouses where vegetables can be grown in winter."
Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly seemed to be awakened, and looked abruptly at Xie Yan, her eyes full of surprise, "You don't mean to say that we're going to grow these greenhouse vegetables ourselves, do you?"
As she spoke, she looked at Xie Yan with a face full of surprise and disbelief, saying, "You even know how to plant this?"
"I've heard that this technique is very difficult!"
Xie Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes radiating confidence, and said casually, "What's so difficult about that?" After all, as a modern person, the technology of growing vegetables in greenhouses is almost common knowledge in this information-saturated age, and few people don't know about it.
Then, he gestured enthusiastically, "And let's start with a small-scale test run."
"Even if we can't promote it in the village, at least we'll have enough vegetables for ourselves. We won't have to sneak around like this every time we eat vegetables, like we're doing something wrong!"
Sigh! Xie Yan sighed as he spoke of this matter.
Whenever I want to eat fresh vegetables, I have to sneak them out at night!
As Yu Yue listened, her eyes gradually brightened, and after thinking it over, she realized it was indeed feasible.
In any case, their original intention was simply to be able to eat fresh vegetables, and it didn't really have to do with whether they made money or not.
Speaking of Xiliu Village, Yu Yuehui felt a sense of helplessness.
This village is so disunited; not only that, the villagers can't stand to see others doing well.
Whenever there's any trouble in the village, someone is sure to come out and cause trouble. Over the years, Xiliu Village has had opportunities for development, but each time they've been ruined by those with ill intentions.
Yu Yuehui's father, Yu Shan, has been working tirelessly for the development of the village, but he has been repeatedly heartbroken by the villagers and has now completely given up on the idea of leading the village to prosperity.
His greatest wish now is simply to keep everyone from going hungry, and for him, that is already the best he can do.
Yu Yuehui had watched her father worry about village affairs since she was a child, and she felt far more disgust than affection for these villagers.
There's a reason why some places are poor.
After the two agreed on the plan, Yu Yuehui immediately got to work with great enthusiasm, washing meat and chopping vegetables. The aroma of food gradually filled the kitchen, and a dinner full of anticipation began.
Before long, Gu Bin came over, drawn by the smell.
When Yu Yue saw him, she immediately said, "Go to the educated youth settlement and call my master. We're having hot pot today."
Gu Bin was about to step into the house when he suddenly stopped. "A youth settlement? And hot pot?" These words instantly lit up his eyes like a ray of light.
He immediately thought of Zhang Linghui!
The thought of such delicious hot pot, which she had never tried before, made Gu Bin unable to resist. He skipped Xie Yan and went straight to Yu Yuehui's side. Looking at her, his eyes were full of undisguised anticipation. He opened and closed his mouth slightly and stammered, "Um... how much food have you prepared?"
Following Gu Bin's gaze, Yu Yue glanced at the neatly arranged ingredients, a gentle smile appearing on her lips. She said, "Don't worry, there's plenty! If you don't have enough meat and vegetables, there are also soaked vermicelli noodles. You'll have plenty to eat."
She thought Gu Bin felt that if Gu Che came over to eat, there wouldn't be enough for him!
Gu Bin knew immediately that Yu Yue had misunderstood, so he quickly shook his head, took a few steps closer, and asked tentatively in a low voice with a hint of unease in his eyes, "If I bring one more person back, will this be enough to eat?"
Xie Yan, who had been observing silently from the sidelines, couldn't help but laugh out loud and teased, "Oh, so you're starting to make a move?"
Gu Bin's face flushed red to his ears, and he lowered his head shyly, nodding slightly, looking just like a young man experiencing his first love.
Xie Yan was stunned by what he saw.
I've never seen Gu Bin like this before.
Yu Yuehui was taken aback at first, then turned to Xie Yan with a look of surprise. Seeing him nod in confirmation, she looked at Gu Bin with great astonishment and praised him with a smile, "Wow, Gu Bin! I didn't expect you to be so quick! You're really fast!"
As she spoke, she urged, "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and call that girl over! We happen to have some venison tonight, let her have a taste."
"Oh, right!" Yu Yuehui seemed to suddenly remember something, and held up a finger, half-jokingly and half-seriously reminding him, "Don't forget, you still have to call me Master. Don't get so excited later that you forget all about it."
Gu Bin was so excited he felt like he had the wind on his feet, almost jumping up and down. His eyes shone brightly with gratitude, and his chest stood straight like a soldier about to go into battle. He solemnly said to Yue Hui, "Sister-in-law, thank you so much! Really, on the day I marry her, I will definitely invite you to sit at the head table so that Xiao Hui and I can thank you properly!"
Xie Yan, watching Gu Bin's excited appearance, found it both amusing and exasperating. She raised her hand and slapped him, urging, "Alright, alright, stop standing here like an idiot professing your loyalty. Go and call for help. Look, the pot here is almost boiling."
Gu Bin was in such a good mood today, like a flower in full bloom in spring, that he didn't care about Xie Yan's slap at all. He grinned, revealing a set of big white teeth, his smile almost reaching his ears, and turned around and rushed out the door like a gust of wind. His eager back seemed to tell of his impatient desire to share his joy with his sweetheart.
