Chapter 589 The Importance of Teaching People to Fish (13)
Shen Shan was speechless. Are the people in Shangyang Village too kind?
Seeing Shen Shan's expression, Village Chief Xu said sympathetically: "Sir, there is no need to feel sorry for us. The original boss also gave six coins per catty, but the price can be slightly increased for those with large quantities."
Although the price of eight cents per pound was very tempting, they all felt that Shen Qingqian had solved their predicament and was their village's savior. Moreover, he was going to select people from their village to work in the sugar factory, which would increase their income.
Shen Shan retracted his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.
The sixth sister said that the people of Shangyang Village have good character and should not be buried. When she finishes her current work, she will provide them with another idea for making a fortune so that they can escape poverty.
"It's important to teach people how to fish. As long as they are willing to endure hardships, they can live a good life." This is what Shen Qingqian said at the time.
She rarely gives money directly to help people, as that can only solve the problem temporarily. If she wants to solve the problem fundamentally, she has to provide the most long-term help based on the actual situation.
Shen Shan signed a supply agreement with Village Chief Xu and paid a deposit of one hundred taels.
"Village Chief Xu, once the sugar mill is built, we will go to the village to harvest sugarcane. I'll have to trouble you to take care of it during this period."
Hearing this, Village Chief Xu asked with concern, "Are you short of manpower to build the sugar mill? We have many people in our village and can lend a hand. Don't worry, Mr. Shen San, we don't want any wages."
"That's not necessary," Shen Shan said with a smile, "Just keep an eye on the sugarcane in the field. The season is almost over, and my sixth sister is worried that it will affect the quality of the sugar produced later."
Village Chief Xu quickly said, "Don't worry, we saved it."
He didn't know when the sugar factory would be completed, but seeing that Shen Qingqian and Shen Shan were not unreliable people, it should be completed soon.
What Village Chief Xu didn't expect was that the sugar factory was built very quickly, much faster than he expected.
Shen Qingqian didn't expect that Liang Cheng said it would be completed in five days, but it was actually completed in three days.
Su Mu brought Shen Qingqian to inspect the goods.
"Sixth Miss, please take a look at what else needs to be done."
Shen Qingqian was very satisfied. When she saw the entrance to the cellar, she turned her head and looked at Su Mu in surprise and said, "Mr. Su also had someone build a cellar."
It wasn't on her design drawings. It wasn't that she didn't want to build it, but she felt there wasn't enough time.
"Yes, I wanted to make it convenient for you to store the goods, but the cellar is damp, and sugars should not be stored for too long. Miss Six, you have to pay more attention." Su Mu reminded.
Shen Qingqian thanked him repeatedly, "I will pay attention to it, thank you Mr. Su."
These days she went out early and came back late, going to the planting base, the military medical department, and helping to prepare another caravan. She had no time to pay attention to the construction process of the sugar factory.
Fortunately, Su Mu is reliable and has considered everything for her.
As the saying goes, "It's nice to lean on a big tree for shade." It's true. The people Liang Cheng arranged are very efficient.
What she didn't know was that Shengze played a big role in it.
After the sugar factory was delivered, Shen Qingqian immediately called the sisters over to arrange tasks.
"My second sister and third brother went to Shangyang Village to receive the sugarcane. I watched them get it weighed, and then had someone deliver it back and store it in the sugar factory's cellar."
"The third and fourth sisters are waiting to train the newcomers on how to make sugar."
Shen Qingqian was interrupted by Shen Qingning when she said this, "No, Sixth Sister, aren't you teaching others how to make sugar?"
