Chapter 334 Chen Yongliang Goes to Town
The clouds and mist were thick, and the sky was gradually brightening.
Chen Yongliang got up early to pack his bags, preparing to take an early oxcart to town.
Hearing the commotion, Wang Zhi got up and helped Chen Yongliang tidy up, while constantly reminding him, "There are many people living with your sister-in-law, so tell her to be careful. You can never be too careful."
Chen Yongliang understood what she meant and immediately replied, "Mom, don't worry, with Gousheng following my sister-in-law, there won't be any problems!"
Although Wu Gousheng was very trustworthy in Wan Qiqi's eyes, he was not so reliable in the eyes of the other members of the Chen family.
Regardless of the circumstances, men and women are different.
Seeing Chen Yongliang's expression, Wang Zhi knew that there was no point in saying anything more, as the other party believed Wan Qiqi more.
She turned and walked inside, rummaged around in the cabinet for a while, and then turned back and said, "Your sister-in-law's restaurant is opening, this is a congratulatory gift that Mother prepared, take it with you."
Chen Yongliang didn't read the contents of the bag, but stuffed it into his own bag and said, "Mother, don't worry, I'll come back to help as soon as I'm done with this busy period!"
Although Wan Qiqi wasn't there, she gave the two brothers a serious task.
One method involved buying several acres of wasteland in Chen Yongnian's name and then developing the wasteland.
Developing wasteland in such a famine year is seen by others as suicide, cutting off one's own escape route.
Although people can buy wasteland with money, developing wasteland is not that simple.
Wasteland is inherently barren land with low nutrient content, making it difficult to cultivate.
Even if they cultivate the land, it is difficult to have a good harvest.
In barren areas, water sources are often far away, making irrigation a major problem.
Lianhua Village has just had water introduced, so irrigation shouldn't be a big problem.
Chen Yongnian worked for the government and owned land to cultivate, so it wouldn't cause any trouble.
However, land reclamation requires manpower, and it is estimated that a large number of people will be needed in Lianhua Village for land reclamation. This threatens the wealthy landlords, making them unable to afford sufficient labor.
This was precisely what Wang Zhi was worried about.
After hesitating for a long time, she said to Chen Yongliang, "Yongliang, go and persuade your sister-in-law. Clearing land is no small matter. If things go wrong, she might lose all the money she has earned!"
In fact, Wan Qiqi doesn't need to clear land for farming.
She has a shopping mall and a ready-made supply of fruits and vegetables. She doesn't need manpower or resources, and she doesn't have to worry about quality. She can have as much as she wants.
However, she had to do this herself, and if others asked, she couldn't say where or from whom she bought it.
Therefore, she needs a vegetable farming base.
At home or in the village, there is a need for a suitable place to earn money.
For the villagers, their forte is farming.
That's exactly right.
Others, however, were unaware of Wan Qiqi's thoughts and simply felt that her actions were too risky.
Just like Wang Zhi, I'm afraid that all the money Wan Qiqi worked so hard to earn will end up being nothing.
Chen Yongliang knew what Wang Zhi was worried about, and said, "Mother, don't worry so much. Sister-in-law must have her own plans... Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. I have to go drive the oxcart, or Uncle Sun will be gone!"
He slung his bag over his shoulder and started walking outside.
There were many people going to town today, and the oxcarts were almost at their limit and could no longer carry any more people.
Chen Yongliang listened in front of the oxcart for a while, then hesitated, wondering if he should just go to Wu Gousheng's house to borrow a mule cart.
Just then, Aunt Youyi, who was sitting on the oxcart, saw Chen Yongliang and called out with a smile, "Yongliang, are you going to town?"
At her call, the others in the oxcart looked over and greeted Chen Yongliang.
Because the Chen family solved their water problem, the villagers had a good impression of them and were always very excited whenever they saw them.
Before Chen Yongliang could answer, the villagers had already shoved him onto the oxcart and paid his fare.
Aunt Youyi stood where he had been standing and said with a smile, "Yongliang, you must have something to do in town, so I won't go today!"
"I……"
Before Chen Yongliang could speak, Aunt Youyi interrupted him again.
"Sigh, we're all neighbors, no need for thanks. If you really want to express your gratitude, how about my husband helps with the clearing of that piece of wasteland you bought?"
"This is not..." a big deal.
Before Chen Yongliang could speak, he was interrupted by Aunt Youyi once again.
"If it doesn't work, that's fine too." Aunt Youyi still had a smiling face, looking like she really didn't mind.
Chen Yongliang sighed and stopped talking, afraid that he would be interrupted again if he was about to finish his sentence.
It's really unpleasant to have your words cut off when they're on the tip of your tongue.
Tomorrow I need to help my sister-in-law get customers to sign up for memberships, so I can't let someone shut me down like this!
At this moment, Wan Qiqi is busy on her last day at the restaurant.
She and Zhu Chengye inspected the restaurant thoroughly, inside and out, and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no problems.
So everyone sat in the lobby on the first floor.
Wan Qiqi walked onto the stage for the second day's performance and said loudly, "Thank you all for your hard work over the past few days. We're about to take a break. Here are a few points to note for the opening tomorrow."
"First of all, don't panic if anything happens. If you can't handle it yourself, come to me and Boss Zhu. Don't get into conflicts with customers, and especially don't argue with them at this time."
"Secondly, everyone is at their assigned post, with designated people to serve the food and keep an eye on their guests. Regardless of status, the first to arrive is served first!"
"I will assign specific people to promote our memberships. If you are able to get customers to sign up for memberships, you will also receive a commission, with different amounts depending on the membership tier..."
