Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Su Cheng hesitated.

Seventy cents per pound is a bit expensive. If I ship it to the north at this price, I will earn less.

"Shopkeeper Xu, I can't say anything else. At this price, I basically have no profit. How about sixty cents?" This was the highest price Su Cheng could accept.

If Xu Wenyan didn't give in, he would have no choice but to give up.

"Master Su and I are also destined to be together, so let's do it, but I have a request."

Seeing Xu Wenyan agreed, Su Cheng said happily: "What are your requests? Shopkeeper Xu, tell me."

"That means our cooperation will last at least half a year." If Su Cheng quits after working for a month or two, then Xu Wenyan will have wasted a lot of time.

"This is natural."

The two discussed the details again, and then drafted a contract, which they just had to sign and put their fingerprints on.

"I have to go back next month. I wonder how much potato flour Manager Xu can supply this month?"

Xu Wenyan made a rough estimate and concluded that it would take at least several thousand kilograms: "Order 2,000 kilograms first. If it's too much, the risk will be high."

Su Cheng nodded with satisfaction. He didn't expect that Xu Wenyan was such a decent person and was a candidate for long-term cooperation.

The people at the factory have been working for half a month. Xu Wenyan plans to pay them all their wages next month after they finish the work. It is all noted in Xiaoman's book, so the villagers are relieved.

After sending Su Cheng away, Zhan Laowu looked at Xu Wenyan: "What you promised me..."

"You will set off in the afternoon and will probably arrive in the evening. Eat more because it's a long way to go." Xu Wenyan thought carefully and said, "Also, take everything you can. You know that if you quit, you won't be able to return to normal life."

Zhan Laowu nodded gratefully: "We will repay your kindness."

"Well, wait for me to get you some noodles." There were more than fifty people, and Xu Wenyan prepared a small basket of noodles and gave it to Zhan Laowu.

The villagers must not be informed of the transportation of these people, after all, it is risky.

When Xu Wenyan returned to the room, Chen Sanlin had already gotten up. While working in the morning, Chen Sanlin kept sticking to Xu Wenyan.

To be honest, Xu Wenyan didn't hate him sticking to her. Dahuang also stuck to her like this when they were in the village. After all, they were both big dogs, the same.

After a busy morning, the two prepared to return to the village. This time, Xu Wenyan had to gather more people. There were hundreds of people in Jixiang Village now, most of them were young and strong.

I wonder how many people envy those who work in Xu Wenyan’s factory. This time Xu Wenyan’s recruitment should be smooth.

Xu Wenyan first came to Chen Xingjie's house, and the work of building the breeding farm had to start immediately.

"Brother Xingjie." As soon as I walked outside the door, I saw Chen Xingjie holding little Chen Zhao and playing in the yard. From his silly look, I knew how much he loved this son.

"Wen Yan, come here, come here, your little cousin is blowing bubbles." Chen Xingjie walked towards the two of them with a smile, his steps extremely gentle.

Xu Wenyan and their family have their own opinions. He calls Chen Xingjie "sister" and Chen Zhao "cousin".

Wang Dongmei's nutrition was supplemented during her pregnancy, and Chen Zhao has been healthy since he was born.

"Brother Xingjie, please help me select a group of people. I want to build another breeding farm next to the factory." Wen Yan plans to adopt a semi-captive breeding method in the farm.

Xu Wenyan bought more than ten acres of land around there and fenced them off. He would let the chickens move freely in them, but of course they would have to be fed.

There were special chicken feeds in ancient times, but farmers could just pick a few vegetables from the fields, mix them with wheat bran and feed them to the chickens. It was not that troublesome at all.

But Xu Wenyan is different. This factory will be able to hatch thousands of chickens in the future. Now Xu Wenyan has fifty or sixty chickens at home. If all the eggs are hatched, the number of chickens can reach about a hundred.

At the latest, by next year, we will be able to have several thousand chickens, enough for the store.

"Okay, there are many people who can work in the village now. I'll pick fifty experienced ones, most of whom have worked for you before. How about that?"

"Okay, Brother Xingjie, you can arrange it." Xu Wenyan nodded. He still trusted Chen Xingjie, and there would be no problem leaving this matter to him.

It was the same as before, the selected people would go directly to Xu Wenyan’s house, but Xu Wenyan asked for the day after tomorrow. As for why, Chen Xingjie would not ask.

After leaving Chen Xingjie's house, the two first went back to tie up Xiaohong, and then went to the factory.

Zhou Jianye has been helping to take care of Xiaoman since he injured his leg: "Xiaoyan, why didn't you come back yesterday?"

"I spent a day in the county with Brother Chen." Xu Wenyan said, "Second Uncle, gather everyone together. I have something to announce."

Looking at the puzzled crowd below, Xu Wenyan said, "I want to announce a good news here. From today on, the factory can continue to operate for at least half a year."

"That's great! It's hard to find such long-term jobs in the county."

"Not so good. It costs 20 cents a day to go to the county, and the accommodation is very bad."

Now that we can earn money at home, everyone is so excited.

"To celebrate, I'm going to give everyone some money!" Xu Wenyan said with a smile, "From today on, you'll get 25 cents for every day you work."

These words stunned the villagers. They were just working in the village, and twenty cents was already a high salary, but they actually had to pay processing fees?

There is actually such a good thing in this world, and I just happened to encounter it. It’s really like pie in the sky!

Everyone looked at Xu Wenyan in disbelief, thinking he was joking.

"But." Xu Wenyan's voice suddenly became cold: "If I find out who is causing trouble in the factory and not working properly, I will fire him at any time."

"Hey, Brother Xu, I will definitely do my best."

"Yes, such a good job, I'm afraid it's hard to get it even in the county. I will definitely do my best."

Xu Wenyan nodded and said, "Tomorrow Xiaoman will come to announce the rules and regulations of our factory. They will be posted at the factory door. You need to memorize the factory rules and read them every day."

It was really not that Xu Wenyan wanted to secretly take advantage of them. Most of these people were uneducated and had no idea about many things.

If there are no rules and regulations to restrain them, they may not even know they are doing something wrong when they violate the rules.

Of course, Xu Wenyan’s request was nothing to them. It was just memorizing some rules and regulations. They were paid twenty-five cents a day, so it didn’t matter if they read it a few more times.

"Okay, that's all for today. You guys go back and get busy. Zhou Rong, you stay."

After the honeysuckle flowers were dried, Zhou Rong and Xiao Yang were responsible for the key step of mixing the powder.

"What's wrong, cousin?" Zhou Rong felt a little embarrassed. She didn't have much contact with this cousin, and she could even be said to be a little afraid of Xu Wenyan.

She was very worried that Xu Wenyan would fire her. She didn't have a land deed, and their land was now being cultivated by someone else. If Xu Wenyan didn't let her work, she would really have no source of income in the future.

"You don't have to work in the factory anymore."
