Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 753 - 752: The Grand Opening of the Agritainment Farm
Chapter 753: Chapter 752: The Grand Opening of the Agritainment Farm
After dawn, Zhang Xiaoshan left Jia Lanhua in the city area.
Luo Meili was going to be quite busy following this, with Jia Lanhua also participating in the upcoming competition, it was great for the two of them to keep each other company in the city.
Zhang Xiaoshan returned to White Dragon Village alone.
The renovation of Wu Damming’s little Western-style building had finished.
"White Dragon Farm!"
A brand-new sign now hung at the entrance, and with the first wave of visitors advertising on social media, a steady stream of tourists had begun arriving in White Dragon Village, making the agritainment business incredibly lively.
Sister-in-law Yu Xiuxiu assumed the role of the farm’s proprietress, welcoming and bidding guests farewell at the reception.
"Little Shan, you’re back, look, we’re completely full up."
Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan enter, Yu Xiuxiu greeted him with a beaming smile.
Zhang Xiaoshan looked around, there were more than ten tables in the courtyard and five on the ground floor, with every private room filled to capacity.
Tents were even set up outside the yard, and there was still a line of people waiting.
"Sister Xiu, a lot of villagers are outside."
Suddenly, an attractive figure approached Zhang Xiaoshan.
A gem among mortals, a sight so lovely it was like sustenance for the soul.
Upon seeing Zhang Xiaoshan, her cheeks flushed slightly and she lowered her head, seemingly unable to look Zhang Xiaoshan in the eye.
"Wu Xiaoru, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Xiaoshan was somewhat astonished.
Yu Xiuxiu spoke to Wu Xiaoru.
"Little Ru, go off and take care of your tasks first."
"Little Shan, there’s something I decided on without consulting you, I assumed authority and had her come help out at the farm. After her mother passed away and they sold their land to you, she still needed to make a living, so I asked her to help out here."
"She’s clever, diligent, and good at her work. As for past grievances, I hope you can let them slide."
"Ah, Sister-in-law, you’re too kind-hearted. Well, alright, I’ll listen to you. Let her stay then. I’ll go out and see what’s going on."
"I’ll come with you."
"No need, someone has to look after the farmhouse, I’ll go alone."
Zhang Xiaoshan went out.
Outside the yard, indeed, a large crowd of villagers had gathered, with people from every household showing up.
"Little Shan, are you still up for the land renting deal?"
Boatman Wang Goudan asked with an eager tone.
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately understood what was going on.
The villagers must have envied his earnings. Just as he had entered the village, boatman Wang Goudan had divulged his whereabouts, and the villagers hurried over.
"Have you all thought it through?"
He looked around.
"This isn’t the place to discuss with outsiders present, let’s go to the village hall."
He and the villagers headed to the village hall.
"Little Shan, my family has ten acres, you’ll rent them, right?"
"My family still has fifteen acres, you... do you want them?"
One by one, they eagerly inquired.
"Pfft, I told you, Zhang Xiaoshan was just fooling you guys. He doesn’t have that much money, and yet you believed him."
Liu Qingchun stood in the midst of the crowd, singing a different tune.
"Hehe."
Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled.
Now that he had taken over a few agricultural and mercantile companies in the city, especially after obtaining the largest agricultural market in Yang City, there was a huge shortfall in fruit and vegetables. He was planning to expand, and with more land available, he could grow more produce, something he longed for.
He squinted at the annoying Liu Qingchun and then announced loudly to everyone,
"Folks, I’ll rent your land, but like Liu Qingchun said, my money isn’t infinite. So, anyone wanting to work with me must agree to my terms."
"You’ll need to send away the women from home before we can sign the contract."
Zhang Xiaoshan was well-prepared.
He had already prepared contracts beforehand, and with a glance, Ge Xiue pulled them out.
"Those who meet the conditions can come forward and sign the contract now."
"Whoosh."
Zhang Xiaoshan brought out a large bag from the room and threw it before everyone.
He unzipped the bag.
"Whoosh."
It was full of cash, bright and red, instantly capturing everyone’s attention.
"This, that’s a lot of money, there must be millions there?"
"I... I’ve never seen this much money before."
The impoverished villagers were stunned by the sight of the banknotes.
Really, it was too much.
Zhang Xiaoshan smiled with satisfaction.
He had deliberately withdrawn cash just to stimulate everyone.
Bright red banknotes were indeed much more exciting than cold numbers.
"Line up, get in line."
The villagers immediately rushed forward to sign and put their thumbprints on the contracts, each taking their share of the money.
The wives of Li Erniu and Wu Biao, both of whom had been dispatched by Zhang Xiaoshan,
were originally quite dejected, but now they blossomed with happiness.
"Little Shan, you really are a good man. If you ever need us, we’ll be there, without question."
"I actually do."
Zhang Xiaoshan pondered for a moment before responding.
"From now on, our village patrol team will be in charge of patrolling my fruit and vegetable bases, protecting the visitors. Wu Biao, you will still be the captain."
"Li Erniu, you will be the captain of my transport team, responsible for escorting produce to the city."
"Each of you can recruit thirty people, with a daily wage of three hundred yuan per person, and four days off per month. You two will earn five hundred a day."
"Really!"
The two immediately became excited.
"Little Shan, no, Village Chief, we will definitely work well with you, this is fantastic, hahaha..."
Though these men were impulsive, they each had strong physical abilities and a certain influence within the village. Most importantly, they were the young leaders of the two largest clans in the village, the Li family and the Wu family. By winning over these two, issuing commands and getting things done in the village would be much easier for Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Brother Liu, what are we going to do now?"
"Yeah, Qingchun, tell us what should we do?"
The villagers who had planned to bring women home looked hopefully at Liu Qingchun, the leader of the troublemakers.
