Zhang Shuilian was surprised and asked, "Wanwan, you don't want us to raise pigs, do you?"
"Don't be anxious, second aunt. Listen to me. There are already big pig farmers in our county. We don't need to compete with them for business. What I mean is to buy a piece of forest for you. We can raise chickens, ducks and geese. They take a short time to be put on the market and the profit is relatively good. My shop also needs them. What do you think?"
"Buy, buy a forest? How much money would that cost?"
"Oh my god, this is crazy..."
She went on to say, "I have cooperated with a Mr. Fu and have opened braised pork shops in all the counties around us. Now there is one in Yecheng. In two months at the latest, we will have opened shops all over Xuanyuan Country. The braised pork shops not only sell braised pork, but also roast duck and roast chicken. Just think about it, if we can supply all our shops, how much money will we make?"
"Oh my god, I can't calculate it!"
"This is so scary! Wanwan, have you really opened so many shops?"
"Old man, hurry up, pinch me, I'm going to faint!"
"Mom! Are you okay?"
"mother!"
Zhang Cuiqin patted her chest and it took her a long time to calm down.
"Wan girl, you really surprised me. Our family finally has someone who can make it!"
Lin Wanwan kept rubbing her chest, "Grandma, are you feeling better?"
"It's okay, it's okay, go on."
"Is everything really alright? Then shall we continue our conversation?"
"You guys say yours!"
"Our shop in Yun'an County needs about 60 to 90 chickens and ducks every day. We have opened 25 shops now. Some wealthy counties will need even more. You can do the math yourself."
Lin Wenhua thought for a moment and said, "That means your shop needs at least 1,500 to 3,000 chickens and ducks every day. But if we send out a batch and buy another batch to raise, we won't have enough time. And even if they are small ones, they still need time."
Lin Wanwan was a little surprised, "Uncle, can you do arithmetic?"
Chen Wenhua fell silent for a moment, his face looking a little unhappy.
Chen Dachang sighed and said, "Your uncle has been very smart since he was young, so your grandmother and I sent him to a private school. He studied there for two years, but because your eldest and second uncles needed money to get married, they stopped him from studying. If the family had money..."
"Dad! Stop talking!"
Lin Wanwan didn't care. She looked at Chen Wenhua and said, "Uncle, do you still want to go to school? It's okay. There is no age limit for studying. If you still want to study, let's continue studying!"
Chen Wenhua shook his head. "I've already married and have children. I don't have the energy to do that anymore. Besides, I'm old and can't remember things anymore."
"If you can't remember it, just remember it a few more times and put in more effort. Uncle, since you have been to school, it's the same if you study at home."
When Chen Wenhua heard this, a few glimmers of light flashed in his eyes. He looked at Yang Yuer uncertainly, and saw her nodding to him with a smile. Then he said firmly to Lin Wanwan, "I want to read!"
"Hahaha! OK, I get it. So, you guys take care of the chicks we brought today. Is there anyone in our village who can build a house?"
"Yes, there are, but not many."
"It's fine if I have it. I'll go buy the land tomorrow and write Grandpa's name on the deed. After that, I'll fence off the forest and build some chicken coops. Let's do it step by step."
Chen Dachang nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"
After the discussion, Lin Wanwan took Lin Bai back home. Chen Dachang insisted on having someone send her back. Finally, she asked her uncle to send them back so that she could buy some things for him and then let him come back with the land deed.
Lin Wanwan returned to the county town and arranged for her uncle to stay in a rented yard. She asked Lin Jiu to vacate a room for him to stay for one night, and the others could just squeeze in, since it was only one night.
The next day she went to the county government office to find Liu Zhubu and talked to him.
Liu Zhubu asked her, "The forest in Shili Village? Let me take a look. There is some, but it's so far away. What are you going to do with it?"
"My grandparents live over there, and I want to buy a piece of woodland to raise chickens and ducks."
Liu Zhubu immediately understood and circled a piece of flat forest for her. "You can't grow crops on forest land, but it's good for raising chickens and ducks. So, this piece of forest land is about more than a thousand acres. If you can take it all, I'll give it all to you for two hundred taels of silver."
"Okay, I'll buy them all, but can I use my grandfather's name on the land?"
"That place is indeed a bit remote. Okay, then tell me his name and I'll write you a deed."
After completing the task, Lin Wanwan thanked Liu Zhubu again, took the land deed to find her uncle, took him to the bookstore to buy some pens, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as the books he needed, and then bought a new ox cart and let him drive it back by himself.
Chen Wenhua drove the ox cart back home. They asked why he drove back by himself. Chen Wenhua told them that it was bought by Wan Yatou. They were all surprised. They also had an ox cart at home! They didn't have to walk such a long way!
And this was just the appetizer. When he showed them the land deed and learned that he had bought 1,500 acres of forest, they were all stunned.
A man who had lived most of his life shed only sweat and no tears was also shedding tears.
"Mom! Wan girl really gave us so much land!"
"Wow, Chen Wenshi! I've been suffering with you for most of my life, and now I can finally make it through..."
"Wow, wow, mom! Our family has finally made it!"
Everyone couldn't help crying to celebrate their happy days that were about to begin.
