Seeing Mo Hongying finally nod in agreement, Mo Yuan finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. Although it was only half for each of them, he believed that as long as his older sister mastered the technology, there would definitely be opportunities to expand the scale in the future. At that time, they could find suitable locations to add more greenhouses and further expand production. In this way, even if the profits were split 50/50, it would be enough for his older sister to support her two children. More importantly, this would help his older sister gradually become independent and get rid of the shadow of her past failed relationship.
In the days that followed, Mo Yuan became exceptionally busy. During the day, he constantly shuttled between the construction site and the brick kiln, keeping a close eye on the progress of both. Fortunately, both projects were progressing very smoothly. Mo Shuisheng led the team in carrying out the construction tasks methodically, while the brick kiln had officially started production and was about to successfully fire its first batch of bricks. Mo Yuan deeply admired the villagers' craftsmanship. He realized that once the market opened up in the future, they would definitely be able to achieve great things with this skill.
After all, with the economic development boom, everyone's lives will soon improve, and building new houses will become an urgent matter for every household! The village can set up a construction team while firing kilns, and after getting the equipment ready, they can also get a crusher to break up the stones. Then, they can provide stone, brick, and construction services all in one place. Xiaomozhuang can exclusively contract projects, which will definitely make everyone rich quickly.
Mo Yuan wasn't idle at night either. Besides having in-depth conversations with Lin Xue every day after lights out, which deepened their relationship, he also had to organize some materials before going to bed every night without fail. These were all fragmented instructions in Mo Yuan's mind, which he needed to compile into a booklet so that his older sister could have a general understanding first. This way, she would have a better grasp of the material when it came to actual implementation. After all, Mo Yuan was used to being the one in charge, and after the mushroom shed was built, his older sister, Mo Hongying, would still need to take full responsibility. It wouldn't hurt for her to learn more.
During the day, Mo Yuan spends most of his time at the construction site. Since the bricks are not yet finished, he asked Mo Shuisheng to lead everyone to build a simple shed during their spare time over the next few days.
This design protects the equipment from the elements and provides a relatively flat space for people to rest and eat. Today, the most eye-catching place in Xiaomozhuang is Mo Yuan's construction site.
Especially during breakfast and lunchtime, people would often happen to pass by, whether intentionally or unintentionally. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Mo Yuan, they would ask what he was eating. Once they received an answer, they would hurry away.
Despite Mo Yuan's warm invitations to dine with them, they were politely declined each time. This happened almost daily, with different people passing by.
Mo Yuan initially thought these people might need help with something else, but Mo Shuisheng's words cleared up his doubts: "They're just curious about what we eat, and now it's become the subject of bets among some people in the village. Some people are just bored and have nothing better to do than want to see what we eat every day. They don't think we're all good workers; their work buddy Uncle Shan didn't think much of us and didn't let us come in the first place. So naturally, they're itching to know what we eat, which gives them something to brag about when they leave the village. You don't need to pay them any attention or be polite to them. How could they possibly have the face to actually stay for a meal?!"
Mo Yuan suddenly understood; so that's how it was. He had been worried that these people might have other motives, but now it seemed they were just curious. Mo Shuisheng's explanation put him at ease and also gave him a clearer understanding of the situation at the construction site.
Mo Yuan then understood why some people hesitated and were eager to try when he was exchanging pleasantries with them, but fled in panic after just one look from Mo Shuisheng and the others. That was the reason. It also explained why the construction site was so lively lately, even before mealtime.
He realized that while these people were somewhat curious, they wouldn't actually cause them any trouble. He could continue communicating with them with peace of mind and maintain a friendly attitude. After all, they were all from the same village, and although they were unhappy about not being selected, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly, otherwise Mo Shuisheng and his men would not let them off the hook.
Soon it was noon, and lunchtime was something everyone had been looking forward to. Although Mo Yuan had said that there weren't any fancy dishes for everyone to enjoy these past few days, everyone ate to their heart's content.
Although the dishes consisted of ordinary vegetables like eggplant and green beans, they always contained large chunks of meat that made one's mouth water. Mo Yuan's generosity was admirable; he was never stingy, and the dishes always included fragrant fatty meat and layered pork belly.
Each time they tasted it, everyone felt incredibly satisfied. It must be said that this kind of rich, oily food truly tasted delicious and was also very filling. Recently, everyone was surprised to find that despite eating such lavish meals every day, their appetites hadn't increased; in fact, they had gradually decreased.
In the past, everyone could eat a lot of steamed buns and rice, but that's no longer the case.
Everyone discussed this phenomenon as a joke, while Mo Yuan explained to them, "It's because you're lacking in oil and water; dry rations simply can't fill your stomachs." Everyone believed this explanation without a doubt. After all, although they had been eating less recently, they were still able to resist hunger, and they felt more energetic when working.
Although everyone isn't eating as much staple food at each meal as on the first day, Mo Yuan hasn't reduced the amount of staple food supplied based on the actual situation. He still prepares the same amount of rice and steamed buns each time. This isn't because he's worried about people not having enough to eat, but because the number of people eating has increased.
Every day at mealtime, a group of boy scouts brought by Erdan would appear. Apart from Erdan himself taking a bowl to Moyuan to get his food, the other children would always greet Moyuan's family respectfully with great enthusiasm, and then run happily to the villagers who were eating.
They each went to find their own families and obtained some food from them.
Seeing the children eating so heartily, all the villagers smiled kindly. At the same time, they looked at Mo Yuan with gratitude, expressing their admiration for his generosity.
Everyone secretly resolved to do this job perfectly, ensuring both quality and quantity, and completing the task as soon as possible.
No matter what happens to Mo Yuan in the future, they will be the first to rush to his aid without hesitation.
