As soon as the news of the recruitment spread, every household began discussing which family member to hire.
If the water is clear, then the factory site selection is underway.
This piece of land is over ten acres in size, but the soil is too hard to cultivate. However, it is very suitable for building houses and living on it.
However, this was also because she and Fan Jin had different ideas. Fan Jin had no choice. When the family divided the property, the house belonged to his elder brother. The open space next to the brick house was narrow. He did not want to rely on his elder brother. This high ground was the most suitable place.
She, on the other hand, has a modern mindset: living away from crowds but not too far away, away from wild beasts, nestled in a high place surrounded by mountains and rivers, where one can enjoy panoramic views – isn't that a paradise on earth?
Compared to living in cramped quarters next to Fan Qiansun Jinhua's house in the village, she was more than willing to move here.
However, most of the villagers thought differently from the two. People in this dynasty were still used to living in groups. They lived in one place and could help each other when needed. As for conflicts and quarrels, they didn't care. They would rather quarrel and fight than move to the outermost area.
In particular, her land can no longer be considered the outskirts of the village; it's almost become an independent place.
The large courtyard house, consisting of the main house, the rear building, the east and west wing rooms, the storeroom, the kitchen, and a large yard, occupies more than two acres of land.
Rabbit pens, chicken, duck and goose sheds, and sheep pens were built against the back of the mountain, while pig pens and livestock sheds were built along the edge of the high ground, so that the manure could be flushed down with water for composting.
These days, excrement is especially important; nobody will waste it.
Secondly, it can also reduce odor. Although these places are located downwind, it is always best to reduce the odor so that the person feeding the livestock can be more comfortable each time.
The open space in front of the livestock pen was not wasted; it was used as a vegetable garden, which not only separated it from the main house but also made it convenient for harvesting and feeding the livestock.
These cover a total area of four or five acres.
The houses and courtyards of the four households on the other side cover a total area of more than one acre.
A plot of land of ten to twenty acres is still quite large, and this is only a fraction of what we've used.
After Shuiqing finalized the location, he announced at the dinner table: "Our medicinal herb workshop will be located at the exit of the highland, which will make it convenient for the villagers to go to work and will not affect our living area here."
She had already discussed it with Fan Jin, Uncle Ding, and Aunt Ding. A few people in the family knew about the decision, but there were still some who didn't know. She took the opportunity to inform them all during the meal.
Yan Qiuxing knew about it early on because she spent a lot of time with the three sisters of Wanxia and Shuiqing every day.
Fan Jiang goes to the fields to plant medicinal herbs every day, his simple, honest face looking completely bewildered.
When are you going to build a house or a medicinal herb workshop? Why didn't anyone tell him?
He looked at his older sister, younger brother, and younger sister, and saw that they didn't seem surprised at all. He then asked Fan He in a simple-minded manner, "You all know?"
Fan He nodded and said in a low voice, "I overheard a bit of what Mother and the others were discussing before, and I roughly guessed what they were thinking."
Fan Hu shook his head. "I don't know, but it doesn't matter whether I know or not."
Fan Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, he wasn't the only one who didn't know!
Butcher Hu asked in a loud voice, "Then what about water?"
My daughter's place is great in every way, but the land is high up, so digging a well is not only tiring but also prone to not producing water.
Fortunately, there is a spring near her house. The spring water is clear and delicious. She built the house along the spring and left a drainage outlet outside. It was enough for the vegetable garden and livestock.
Vegetables and livestock that grow up drinking spring water taste much better!
But there's only one spring, enough to supply people, vegetable gardens, and livestock; any more and it might not be enough.
Fan Jiang nodded vigorously in agreement upon hearing his maternal grandfather's words.
