"Hurry up and bring it out, let your old man have a taste." Wen Jinzhong smacked his lips; he ate his three meals a day here all day long.
There wasn't a single snack to be had—no sunflower seeds, no peanuts—so Wen Jinzhong, feeling lonely, could only drink cold boiled water.
Wen Nan indeed took out a package wrapped in oiled paper from his sleeve and threw it to Wen Jinzhong.
Wen Jinzhong was about to open it.
A voice drifted from Wen Nan: "Rat poison."
Wen Jinzhong paused slightly as he was about to open the parchment paper.
"You brat, are you trying to murder your own father!" Wen Jinzhong plopped down in a chair, then carefully picked up his glass of cold water, took a sip, and smacked his lips.
Wen Nan tidied himself up and then went to the village chief's house.
It was lunchtime, and everyone had stopped doing farm work.
Wen Nan wanted to discuss something with the village chief. She wanted to develop Lianhua Village and make the entire village a crayfish farming center, thus becoming a supplier.
When Wen Nan arrived, the village chief's family was having dinner.
The village chief was incredibly welcoming to Wen Nan.
The news spread far and wide: a big shot had emerged from Lianhua Village, making crayfish, and his business was booming in Jiangnan.
I heard that he has now gone back to inherit the Wen family's property.
In their eyes, Wennan is now practically a name that's written all over the place.
Beautiful and golden.
The village chief didn't even have time to eat before immediately calling Wen Nan in.
Aunt Yin invited Wen Nan to eat with her, but Wen Nan declined.
She came here with a purpose.
"Village Chief, I have something I'd like to discuss with you." Wen Nan's attitude was sincere.
Seeing Wen Nan's serious tone, the village chief immediately became serious as well.
"You may speak, Madam Wen."
Aunt Yin was about to leave.
Wen Nan said, "Aunt Yin, you can also listen to this."
Aunt Yin and the village chief sat opposite Wen Nan.
Yang Sheng went to school.
Although Ding Fu and Yang Zhaodi lived in the same village and occasionally ate together, they didn't come over often.
So now only the village chief and Aunt Yin live in the village.
"Village chief, how much income do you make from farming in a year?" Wen Nan asked directly.
The village chief didn't expect Wen Nan to ask about income as soon as he arrived.
However, it's never a good idea to ask someone about their income, but now Wen Nan's status is different.
They also looked down on the village chief's small sum of money.
The village chief naturally had nothing to hide.
"To be honest, we work hard all year round but we can only make ends meet."
It's true that I've been busy all the time.
The only time to rest is in winter. In spring, we have to loosen the soil, transplant rice seedlings, and be careful to prevent the seedlings from falling over.
The harvest of the year is in the autumn. The wheat is cut, taken out and sold. That is the harvest of the whole year.
Rice is hard to exchange for meat; it's only enough to keep us fed.
Rice has a long production cycle and requires a long maintenance period. Since surrounding villages also grow rice, the abundance of rice naturally leads to a depreciation in value.
The village chief sighed. These days, no one has it easy.
Wen Nan is lucky and has a good business sense.
Naturally, they couldn't compare to the poor villagers of Lotus Village.
"Village Chief, I was wondering if we could get everyone in Lotus Village to raise crayfish together?" Wen Nan said, revealing his purpose.
The village chief didn't react for a long time. Aunt Yin, standing nearby, was also dumbfounded.
"Madam Wen, crayfish are a hot commodity. Are you really going to teach us how to raise them together?" Aunt Yin was stunned when she realized what was happening.
Crayfish... are indeed profitable.
Wen Nan actually proposed that the entire Lianhua Village raise livestock.
Wen Nan nodded solemnly.
“If you want to raise lobsters in Lianhua Village, you can sell them to restaurants and make a living. It should be more profitable than growing rice.”
"Yes, it's good, of course it's excellent." The village chief's eyes lit up immediately.
Who wouldn't want to make money?
Wen Nan nodded.
“I can teach you lobster farming techniques, but all your lobsters can only be supplied to the Wen family. We need to draw up a contract.”
Wen Nan added.
In Lianhua Village, crayfish are farmed. Wen Nan is responsible for opening a shop outside the village to buy crayfish and then selling the processed crayfish.
A complete production line was thus created.
The aquaculture supplier's store has everything you need.
In fact, Wennan can also profit from this, so it's a win-win situation.
However, the village chief also bears risks when engaging in crayfish farming. First and foremost, he must ensure the quality of the crayfish.
This is how they can be sold in stores.
Both sides rely on each other and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
How could the village chief possibly disagree?
There's nothing else to it. Wen Nan can hire people to come and plant, but large tracts of land need to be purchased... and a lot of people need to be hired to maintain it.
It's a huge undertaking.
Moreover, even if you hire someone, that person, who only receives a basic salary, won't be fully committed.
If the villagers are the suppliers, then each family has several acres of land, which will be cultivated more meticulously, and the crayfish raised with such care will definitely be plump and fat.
"Since the village chief also thinks it's feasible, shall we begin?" Wen Nan asked in a low voice.
The village chief was slightly taken aback.
I didn't expect it to start so soon.
But the village chief, having lived for so many years and seen so much, quickly made a decision.
"Start digging the pond tomorrow!"
Wen Nan didn't plan to go and talk to each villager individually.
The village chief's family started... so naturally, people from the village would come to ask.
Once there's a first, there's bound to be a second.
Wennan believes it will soon become widespread.
Sure enough, the village chief found people the next day to dig ponds into all of Wen Nan's several acres of land, and then diverted water to them, as Wen Nan had requested.
