Chapter 218: No Regrets

"It would be great if we can dig a well, no matter how far away it is! But after digging the well, we must keep an eye on it and not let anyone add anything into it, otherwise it will harm everyone." The stone courtyards in the mountain village are all built against the mountain, and it is impossible to dig wells. Hua Xiali himself is aware of this.

It would be fine as long as we can dig a well. At worst we can install water pipes and bring the water into the courtyard, so that everyone can get water more conveniently.

Jia Chenyang smiled and nodded, "Xia Li, leave the work to me, don't worry! I promise to complete every task successfully."

"By the way, when should sugarcane be planted?" Jia Chenyang asked again.

"Didn't they send two people here to teach you? Just follow their instructions on how to plant sugarcane. They know how to plant it. After they teach you how to plant sugarcane, they will go back."

After all, their homes are not here. If they are asked to work here, they will not be able to take care of the affairs at home. So after they have taught the people here, they will be allowed to go back.

"How many of these people who come to open up the wasteland do you plan to keep?" Jia Chenyang asked.

"After the sugarcane is planted, we will keep 20 employees and have them sign the employee contract. We will work according to the rules and regulations. As for the rest, we will let them continue to open up wasteland, build roads, plant trees, and dig the mountain spring channel again. When the work is done, we will let them go back. If they are still at home, we will find them. If they are not at home, we will find someone else. In the future, we will need people to cut and move sugarcane."

Hua Xiali had originally agreed with the old village chief that he would provide some jobs to the villagers, but it was impossible to keep everyone here just to ensure that everyone had an income.

After all, there are only so many things to do, and once they are done, there will be nothing left to do. Should we just let everyone take a break?

Where does she get so much money to support an idle person?

"When the people here learn how to grow sugarcane, you can choose an assistant and tell him to do anything. Otherwise, you will be overwhelmed by all the work."

Jia Chenyang nodded, "I understand."

"I still have 150 grape seedlings here. Try to plant the grapes in one piece instead of planting them everywhere," said Hua Xiali.

"Okay." Jia Chenyang agreed.

After the boss of the nursery unloaded all the saplings, he paid the final payment and went back early. Hua Xiali did not go back with him. She only left after she finished watering the two buckets of water. However, she made a mark under the trees that she had not had time to water with the spiritual spring water. When she came back in two days, she would start watering from that tree.

Later, Hua Xiali went to his fourth uncle's house again and gave him seeds of fruits and vegetables, asking them to continue growing fruits and vegetables this year.

Hua Xiali keeps all the vegetables grown on the six acres of land here in the space for himself. The vegetables grown in the vegetable garden in Huazhuang are grown in cooperation with the hotel.

Because of the vegetables provided by Hua Xiali, the hotel owner has already opened a large restaurant in the county town and the city center. Now the demand for fresh vegetables is even greater.

Although some of his colleagues reported his hotel because they were jealous of his money, and people from relevant work units also investigated his hotel, they did not find any problems, not even hygiene issues, let alone any illegal issues.

They also tested all the vegetables and seasonings in the hotel and found no additives. It may be because the soil and water in the flower farm are good, so the vegetables grown there are delicious and everyone loves them.

Later, there was one time when the restaurant owner went to the flower village to collect vegetables in person, but he was blocked by other villagers in the flower village. They wanted him to collect everyone's vegetables as well. The owner thought that since they were all from the same village and had the same soil and water, there shouldn't be much difference in the vegetables grown. Besides, everyone only had a small amount of private land and couldn't grow much, so he agreed.

The price was simply lowered to half of the purchase price from Hua Xiali, but the boss soon regretted it because the picky people in the villagers' homes tasted the vegetables and asked the hotel manager if the chef had been changed and why the taste was so different.

It was at this time that the boss realized that the taste of the vegetables grown by the villagers and those grown by Hua Xiali was really different. In other words, if he wanted to continue making money, he could only cooperate with Hua Xiali. If he cooperated with others, he would not make any money and would also ruin his reputation.

But the boss had already promised the other villagers, and it was difficult for him to go back on his word, so the hotel continued to use the vegetables grown by Hua Xiali, and the employees took the vegetables from other villagers to the vegetable market to sell, adding 20 cents to the wholesale price per kilogram. He couldn't just help others for free without making a penny, right?

He is not that kind.

After that, the boss no longer dared to have any other thoughts and only bought goods from Hua Xiali. Even if the price was much higher than the market price, it didn't matter, because he could also raise the price due to the price of raw materials. Diners who can come to the hotel to eat every day are not short of money.

Moreover, he had to keep his supply channels secret and didn't want others to know about it, otherwise he would have competitors. Hua Xiali's vegetable farm was not very large, just enough to supply him alone. He naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to tell outsiders, otherwise it would be snatched away by others, and he would not be able to find such fresh and delicious fruits and vegetables.

Hua Xiali initially sent him hundreds of kilograms of vegetables for him to try, and the vegetables did taste better than those sold outside. Moreover, other people had tested them before and found that the vegetables did not have any additives and there was no problem. It might be that the fertilizer used in the planting process was different from that of others. Otherwise, there was really no way to explain this matter.

Hua Xiali was too lazy to go out to sell vegetables, so it was a good thing that someone could directly buy all the vegetables she grew. As long as the price was right, she didn't want to bother looking for new partners.

When it officially entered March, the sugarcane fields and vegetable gardens became busy, and everyone was working seriously on everything.

Hua Xiali would occasionally go over for a patrol, and spend the rest of his time at home reading and studying, feeding the poultry and livestock, and planting vegetables in the yard.

There were already several old peach trees in her yard, which had blossomed early, looking particularly beautiful in the form of a haze of smoke. The fruit trees she had gotten from her fourth uncle had also blossomed after being irrigated with the spiritual spring water, and they would be able to eat the fruit this year.

Hua Xiali still goes to school occasionally. After all, the time for the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and she has a lot of things to do every day. If she misses it, she will not be able to take the exam this year.

She doesn't want to leave any regrets in her life.

Hua Xiali goes to Baibao County once every two weeks to learn about the progress there. After all, she plans to make back her capital this year.
