Devouring Chaos

"Yes, it's ten thousand taels of silver! Do you have it or not?" Guan Xiaobai said softly!

Manager Liu also knew the importance of dishes. If Lu Wan and his gang of unscrupulous people continued to raise the prices, the restaurant’s business would probably be over!

With a slight grit of his teeth, Manager Liu said in a deep voice, "Although I cannot embezzle so much public funds, I have saved a sum of money from my personal work over the years! I can give it to you!"

"Well, thank you! You've done a great job for the restaurant!" Guan Xiaobai praised with a smile!

"Hmph, if you mess this up, I'll skin you alive!" Manager Liu scolded with a smile!

"You can rest assured!"

Manager Liu took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, feeling both amused and helpless!

"Here, check it out. Originally, this ten thousand taels of silver note should be handed over to the Finance Department. Now I give it to you. I will fill the hole myself this afternoon!"

Guan Xiaobai took the banknotes with a smile! Each banknote had a face value of one thousand taels, exactly ten in total, no more, no less!

"Thank you. I will return the hundred thousand taels of silver to you in full in a little while."

After Guan Xiaobai finished speaking, he stopped being pretentious and left Piaoxiang Tower with the 100,000 taels of silver!

Now that he has money, he can go out of the city to cause trouble!

Guan Xiaobai went to the city bank first to exchange a thousand taels of silver for a smaller denomination! This way it would be convenient to use!

Lu Wan’s vegetable field is outside the east of the city. Guan Xiaobai plans not to go to the east, but to Guanjia Village in the west of the city!

The environment around Guanjia Village is also good, mainly because the land is fertile. This is the decision Guan Xiaobai made after investigation!

When you arrive at Guanjia Village, first ask the villagers where the village chief lives!

Then Guan Xiaobai walked all the way to the village chief’s house!

It seems that several people in the village chief's house are discussing something!

"Alas, this year's harvest is too bad. It would be better to give these lands to that Lou Wan!"

"Humph, that guy Lu Wan's price is lower than before, it's not cost-effective to give it to him!"

"Then we can't just watch the villagers have only enough to fill their stomachs with this year's harvest!"

"Then what do you say we should do!" an old man said in a deep voice!

"Cough..." Guan Xiaobai entered the yard, and no one noticed him yet, so he had to cough lightly to remind everyone!

After hearing the cough, several people's ears and eyes turned red, and then their eyes shifted to Guan Xiaobai!

The young man in front of me looks very unfamiliar and doesn’t seem to be from this village!

"Who are you? What can I do for you?" the old man asked!

"Um, my name is Guan Xiaobai. I'm from Piaoxianglou in the city. I want to talk to your village chief about something!" Guan Xiaobai chuckled!

"I am the village chief. Tell me! What's the matter!" A look of doubt flashed across the old man's face!

He knew there was a Piaoxianglou restaurant in the city, which was doing very good business!

The people from Piaoxianglou came to my house, but they seemed to have nothing to do with me!

"It's like this, Mr. Village Chief. I want to contract the land in your village. Do you think it's convenient for you to communicate with the villagers? The money will not be small!"

The old man was surprised when he heard this! It was strange that the people from Piaoxianglou came here to rent the land! He heard that the price of Lu Wan’s vegetables had increased a few days ago. Could it be related to this?

The village chief is worthy of being the head of the village. His mind works quickly and he has thought of a lot!

"I wonder what the price is?" The village chief rolled his eyes!

"I will bid the same as Lu Wan's previous bid!" Guan Xiaobai said!

After hearing what Guan Xiaobai said, the village chief and the people next to him looked at each other, and saw each other's eyes light up!

"Well, the price was higher before, fifty taels of silver for renting one acre of land for a year! I wonder if Master Guan is willing?" The village chief said directly!

Although the person in front of them was very young, he was from Piaoxiang Tower. As long as they asked someone, they would know the identity of the person in front of them, so they didn't worry at all that Guan Xiaobai was here to make fun of them!

"Sure!" Guan Xiaobai said with a smile!

"I need twenty acres of land temporarily! And vegetable farmers to work! I wonder if the village chief can do it?"

"Haha, that's no problem. There are many idle vegetable farmers in the village, and they are all very experienced in growing vegetables!"

After hearing this, the village chief already knew what Guan Xiaobai was going to do.

If my guess is correct, Piaoxianglou will be making big moves!

"Okay! Let's sign the contract! I've brought the money!"

"No problem!" said the village chief with a smile on his face!

Just now, a few people were worried about the problem that villagers could not make money, but now it has been solved. It’s like a perfect ending, just right!

After both parties signed the contract, Guan Xiaobai paid one year's rent!

Then, under the leadership of the village chief, Guan Xiaobai selected ten middle-aged male vegetable farmers and took them to the fields in the village!

Guan Xiaobai asked the village chief to find a few young and strong men to do odd jobs!

Plow the field first, so that it is loose and soft, just right for planting vegetables!

He selected a smart-looking young man from among several middle-aged men and asked him to go to the city to help him buy vegetable seeds, tarpaulins for greenhouses, and other materials!

Not long after, after several houses were built on the field, the purchasing man came back with the vegetable seeds!

Then everyone worked together, and by the evening, according to Guan Xiaobai's design, the vegetable greenhouse had taken shape!

Guan Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of a world of cultivation, the physical strength of these villagers would definitely make them sports champions in modern times!"

The vegetable greenhouses are neatly arranged in rows, with vegetable seeds already sown and watered. Guan Xiaobai has handed over the rest of the maintenance work to the vegetable farmers, because these people are more professional at growing vegetables than himself!

These vegetable farmers can earn two taels of silver every day, which is twice as much as Lu Wanchu. Every vegetable farmer is very grateful to Guan Xiaobai!

Guan Xiaobai planted more Lingzhi vegetables because they were very useful to him! If he devoured them, he could increase his Qi!

Of course, Guan Xiaobai has also tried to devour other vegetables, but the true energy in them is not as much as that in Ganoderma lucidum, so for the time being, he will focus on Ganoderma lucidum!

Among these vegetables, only Ganoderma lucidum has the longest growth period, which takes one month to grow. However, Guan Xiaobai looked at the greenhouse in front of him, and he was confident that the growth period of Ganoderma lucidum could be shortened by half a month!

Guan Xiaobai was looking at the results of his and his group's labor with satisfaction!

A vegetable farmer walked out of the greenhouse happily!

"Master Guan, please come in and take a look..."

At first, vegetable farmers thought Guan Xiaobai was a layman. He built a stuffy greenhouse to grow vegetables. Wouldn’t that suffocate the vegetables to death?

Now they don’t think so anymore!

Guan Xiaobai followed the vegetable farmer into the greenhouse!

Suddenly, Guan Xiaobai felt the greenhouse was steaming hot, and the temperature was much higher than outside!

Guan Xiaobai's eyes lit up, it seemed that the greenhouse had already played its role!

"Mr. Guan, look, the seeds we just planted have already sprouted!" The vegetable farmer pointed his finger at the seeds on the black soil!

"Well, not bad!" Guan Xiaobai nodded!

It seems to be better than I expected!

I estimate that in a few days, once the farmers have taken good care of the vegetables, this batch of vegetables will be available to Piaoxianglou!
