Mo Qianshang didn't think she had done anything remarkable: "I just bought property for myself, and everyone worked the land for me. I paid them wages. It's all what everyone deserves."
The village chief quickly waved his hand: "How can you say that! Nobody's money comes from thin air. You feed everyone, so they should remember your kindness. What do you mean by 'deserved'? Anyone can farm this land. In the end, isn't the money going to them?"
On this point, Mo Qianshang could not argue, nor did she contend with it.
People at that time had their own stubborn and simple ideas, because they knew that without money and unable to farm, people would really die.
Liao Ping left the fish in Mo Qianshang's car. He followed Mo Qianshang closely, not quite knowing what she wanted to do with him here.
When they arrived at the destination, the village chief pointed out the location to Mo Qianshang.
Mo Qianshang thought the location was acceptable, and she turned to Liao Ping: "Come and take a look with me."
After putting some distance between herself and the village chief, she looked at the barren land and said, "I plan to dig a fishpond here. You can help me raise fish then."
Liao Ping was completely bewildered: "I... raise fish?"
Mo Qianshang raised an eyebrow, turning back to look at him as she walked: "Of course, aren't you the one who raises fish?"
Liao Ping stammered, "But...but I...I just kept them for fun, I don't know how to keep fish..."
Mo Qianshang smiled nonchalantly: "Then let's try raising them. I'll find someone to dig a fishpond, and I'll provide the fish fry. I'll give you twenty coins a day as a basic wage. You'll not only have to raise these fish, but also sell them. I'll give you a bonus based on the profit from each sale."
Liao Ping didn't know anything about the bonus. All he knew was that everything that had happened to him today was too strange. He was just going to the county town to sell fish as usual when he was brought to this village and asked to raise fish.
He really wanted to say that he couldn't do it, to the point that he was a little scared and wanted to back down, but he also seemed to hope that he could do it.
Qin Baiyi and the village chief followed a distance behind them. The village chief couldn't hear what was being said in front, but Qin Baiyi heard it all clearly. He frowned as he watched Liao Ping cower in front of Mo Qianshang.
I'm so tired today, there's nothing wrong with doing something, but going home early to rest and soothe my voice would be good too.
He quickened his pace, pretending not to hear anything: "Finished talking?"
Mo Qianshang glanced at Liao Ping: "How about this, go back and think about it. Anyway, whether you come or not, I'm planning to build this fishpond. I'll have someone dig it here. If you want to do it, you can bring your younger brother and sister-in-law with you. There are empty houses in Dongshan Village that your family can stay in. After you arrive, find Aunt Shen in the village and have her come to me."
Liao Ping's mind was in a mess at the moment. When Qin Baiyi came over to interrupt, he completely lost the courage to make a decision in front of them. He followed the two of them back step by step and got on the donkey cart.
Mo Qianshang returned to Qingping Mountain, and the donkey cart took Liao Ping back to his village.
"You want him to raise fish for you?"
As they walked up the mountain, Qin Baiyi brought up the matter, and Mo Qianshang nodded, sharing her thoughts with him.
"Now you have to go to the county town and raise fish, aren't you afraid of exhausting yourself?"
Mo Qianshang tilted her head and thought for a moment: "It should be fine. Chen Jin has known me for a long time. I trust him with the fishpond business. Once the fishpond is dug, I don't think I'll need to personally sell these potatoes."
Qin Baiyi still felt that she was working too hard.
Back home, Mo Qianshang left everything else in Dongshan Village, only bringing back the fish. Qin Baiyi helped carry it, and he was covered in fishy smell.
However, along the way, Mo Qianshang had already decided what she would sell the next day—mashed potatoes.
She had a lot of meat stored up at home, so she shamelessly asked Qin Baiyi and Master Wen to help her chop the meat into minced meat.
Honestly, Mo Qianshang had never enjoyed such treatment in both her lives, having two people help her chop the meat while cooking.
She was steaming potatoes in a pot, laughing as she did so, while Uncle Wen was sweating profusely.
He was just a businessman after all. Although he was physically strong from traveling all over the country, he was still worlds apart from Qin Baiyi, who practiced martial arts. When he could barely lift his arm, Qin Baiyi was still standing there as if nothing had happened.
"Third Master, your physique isn't up to par, is it? Since you spend all your time on this mountain anyway, why don't you two have him teach you some self-defense skills when you have some free time? Even if you don't use them, it'll be good for your health."
Men are most susceptible to comparisons. Third Master Wen put down the kitchen knife: "I'm perfectly healthy. It's this Qin guy who's not normal!"
Mo Qianshang suppressed a laugh, stood up and took the kitchen knife from him: "Then I'll continue."
When Mo Qianshang isn't busy lately, she often trains herself by going up and down this mountain. If the fitness equipment in the system weren't so expensive, she would love to exchange some of it.
However, all those fancy exercises aren't entirely necessary. She can still get very fit by using the big trees and natural conditions on this mountain.
Therefore, although her clothes don't show it now, her muscle strength and core strength are completely different from the original Mo Qianshang.
However, this is only the result of these past few months. If one can continue to persevere as before, this body is still young and can fully recover to the level of the previous life.
The only pity is that her excellent marksmanship is probably going to be wasted. With her current wealth, this gun is just an addition to her in the system.
After all, this is no ordinary industrial product. The moment this firearm came into existence, it changed an era and the entire world. Mo Qianshang could completely understand that.
However, on the other hand, she also began to wonder if, in a normal way, she led the people of this era toward industrial civilization, would the industrial products in the system also decrease in price along with this era?
This is just her guess, and it cannot be confirmed yet.
While lost in thought, Mo Qianshang chopped the meat filling. After finishing one lump, she started on the next. Her mind was wandering, but her hands remained in a fixed motion, and she chopped for a long time without realizing it.
Master Wen was stunned as he watched from the side.
Mo Qianshang and Qin Baiyi chopped quite a lot, enough to make a meat broth with mashed potatoes. Actually, they didn't need too much meat filling, otherwise it would overpower the flavor of the potatoes.
The main purpose of this minced meat is to make the broth rich and layered.
After she finished, she started making soup in another pot, and both men were chased out of the kitchen.
Qin Baiyi wanted to persuade her to rest, but after thinking about it, she gave up. After all, once Mo Qianshang made up her mind to do something, no one could change it.
