What is the survival rate for Chapter 288?
Boom—rumble—
The sudden tremor and loud noise interrupted Xu An's thoughts; it sounded like a large truck had passed by.
Before Xu An could ask, Li Sixin, who had been chatting with Xu An, heard the voice and jumped up, his joy overflowing. He clapped his hands and shouted, "The greenhouse construction team is here!"
A greenhouse construction team? The greenhouse can be built now!
Upon hearing this, Xu An was overjoyed. He finished the bowl of brown rice porridge in one gulp, then quickly got up and followed Li Sixin to the designated area for greenhouse construction.
Because the road was difficult to travel, the car moved extremely slowly. Xu An, Li Sixin, and most of the villagers had already arrived at the greenhouse construction site several minutes before the two cars slowly approached and stopped at the entrance of the plot.
As soon as the large truck in front came to a stop, seven or eight people got out of the van behind. One of them scanned everyone present, then strode up to Li Sixin, laughing loudly as he shook Li Sixin's hands: "Secretary Li, congratulations! With this greenhouse built, the villagers will be rolling in money!"
"Haha, then I'll take your kind words, Manager Zhu!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Manager Zhu's gaze fell on Xu An, who didn't look like someone from Qingyan Province at all, and he asked with a smile, "Secretary Li, may I ask who this gentleman is?"
"This is Mr. Xu from Haishi. The greenhouses we're building now are mainly for cultivating the hot pot 'Shuan Shuan La' that Mr. Xu needs!" Before introducing Mr. Xu, Manager Zhu introduced the identity of Hezibao to Mr. Xu: "That's Hezibao, the branch of Qingye Agricultural Technology Company in Honghe City."
Qingye Agricultural Technology Company?
After making her plans, Xu felt much more at ease. Before returning to the village office, she took out her phone and made a call.
Although the shuanshuan chili is not difficult to care for, its growth pattern is the same as other chilies, and it takes eight months to mature.
"What is this?" Upon hearing those words, Madam Xu became fully awake.
The two chatted for a bit about what Professor Yu had been up to lately and how far the development of the mudflats in Xujia Village had progressed. As they talked, the topic turned to hot pot.
Just as Li Sixin was getting bored to the point of madness, his cell phone rang. The caller was his future boss, Xu Shi.
"Alright, that's enough. If you look at them any less, you feel like you're about to have a heart attack. You need to go inside and catch your breath..."
"Hello, boss!" Before Li Sixin could even see the blurry caller ID, he jumped up from under the sofa and pressed the answer button.
"So you're not the owner of Xu'an Catering!" He Zibao took Xu's business card, looked it over, and then affectionately shook Xu's hand, as if he had known her for a long time: "I've heard so much about you, I've heard so much about you!"
"Professor Wei is an expert in agronomy and is quite interested in the cultivation and consumption of 'Shuan Shuan Chili'. Before I heard that 'Shuan Shuan Chili' was used in cooking, I even went to his Taobao store to buy some to try..."
Manager Zhu had no objection to Ms. Xu's request and immediately nodded in agreement.
"What's Mapo Tofu that melts in your mouth? What's the refreshing and delicious cucumber salad? What's the sweet and sour pork tenderloin?" As he spoke, Hezibao started counting on his fingers, and when he got to the first one, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're really getting hungry."
"I've heard of him, but I've never actually seen him before. I've finally met him in person today!" Professor Wei walked up to the seven people and said with a smile, "The boss that Professor Yu told you about, the one who came to Lu Shengnan to buy hot pot skewers, isn't him. After that, you probably thought he was some kind of con artist from out of town!"

"So, boss, does that mean I'll get paid for working overtime during the National Day holiday?"
As he spoke, the man turned and walked towards the door, intending to avoid any confrontation. However, upon turning around, he saw the seven members of the Xu family standing inside, and the anger that had not yet completely dissipated on his face immediately lessened by a hint of embarrassment.
Upon hearing Peng Taobin's words, the villagers who had signed contracts to withdraw from the small-scale greenhouse planting immediately relaxed and began to offer suggestions.
Um......
Speaking of that, Peng Taobin took a deep breath, and his usually icy and indifferent tone suddenly became cold and ruthless.
"But for those spicy peppers, the lower the planting density, the lower the mortality rate. Based on the experiments over the past few days, planting at a spacing of seventeen centimeters is the most suitable. But if the spacing is too small, at least a thousand plants will be planted per acre. Adding in other losses, the final number that can grow to about seven hundred to four hundred will be around."
"The boss wants to locate the production base of Xu'an Braised Food Taobao Shop here with Peng Taobin. He wants you to do a market assessment to see if it's suitable... Referring to Taobao's 'Charity Baby' program, eight cents will be taken from each product to help Lu Shengnan's students finish their schooling... Lu Shengnan's agricultural products will be sold independently in a separate Taobao shop... A large filming team will also be assembled to be stationed in Lu Shengnan for filming..."
"A month has passed! That's almost the first batch of 'Ghostly Sorrows' to be produced at the beginning of next year, before the new year!"
"Boss, it seems we haven't signed an employment contract yet, right? It's not like you're still an employee of Xu'an Catering, is it...?"
"No, no." He Zibao waved his hands repeatedly, saying regretfully, "The person in charge from Haishi went to participate. Did you participate?"
Xu looked at the business card from Hezibao and muttered to herself, "That name feels so unfamiliar, I should have seen it before."
"Hmm?" Xu could only utter a syllable indicating doubt. She hadn't had any contact with agricultural companies, had she...?
