The eldest lady became popular in the farming variety show

Jiang Hexi was reluctant to let Yan Jie carry such a heavy water tank.

She found a cart and threw it in front of him, "Move the water tank onto the cart."

"You are smarter than me."

Yan Jie bent down and knelt to move the coarse earthenware water jar onto the cart, then pushed the water jar back and followed her to the truck selling cabbages.

Jiang Hexi chatted enthusiastically: "Uncle, I want all the remaining cabbage you have."

The uncle looked at her in surprise, then put away the remaining half of the cabbage with a smile on his face:

"Big sister, I'll deliver the cabbage to your home right now."

"Uncle, I bought three large water jars. Do you think these cabbages can fit into the jars? Can you help me take them back?"

The uncle readily agreed, "Sure, just carry the water tank to the car and I will transport it back for you."

Jiang Hexi handled everything easily. She glanced at Yan Jie proudly and said:

"What are you still standing for? Move."

"Listen to you."

Yan Jie saw that she had a cocky look on her face but was pretending to be tsundere, so he couldn't help but go up and mess up her short hair.

After Jiang Hexi returned home, he hung the cabbages on bamboo poles to dry in the sun for two days.

She ran to the camphor tree at the entrance of the village, and when she said she wanted to make sauerkraut, the grandmothers and grandmas all expressed their willingness to teach her. They all ran to the stone courtyard and started to help her make sauerkraut.

Light the stove, boil water in a big pot, and keep adding firewood to the fire.

"Sister Xi, Wanwan, come over here and listen to the sound. This is the sound that tells you to put the water into the pot."

Granny Xiang stood in front of the stove, reached out and lifted the lid of the pot. Steam rolled out. She picked up the cabbage in the winnowing basket and put it into the boiling water:

"The cabbage must be rinsed with water, so that the sauerkraut will not spoil easily. Put the cabbages one by one in the pot, rinse them all with hot water, then turn them over and rinse the leaves with water again."

Seeing that Granny Xiang was pulling her hands away due to the scalding water, Jiang Hexi quickly stopped her and said, "Granny Xiang, if you keep doing this, your hands will get burned. Let me do it instead."

She squeezed in front of the stove, picked up the cabbage and put it into the water, arranging the cabbage neatly regardless of the heat.

Then the cabbages that had been drained of water were brought out in basins and placed neatly in the warehouse.

The old ladies spread a layer of plastic film in a coarse earthenware jar, piled the cabbages together one by one, and then pressed them tightly. After the jar was full of cabbages, they sprinkled a layer of salt on the top, and finally pressed a big stone on it and wrapped it tightly with plastic film to seal it.

It was not Jiang Hexi's turn to do the entire process of packing the cabbages, as all the cabbages had already been packaged.

In order to thank the grandmas for their help, Jiang Hexi set up two tables in the yard and treated them to crispy sesame chicken.

She waited until everyone present had finished eating before she spoke:

"Mother-in-laws, how about we get some money together at the end of the year?"

"Okay, Sister Xi, you give us the advice and we will all listen to you."

The grandmas and aunties put down the sesame chicken in their hands and turned to look at her.

Jiang Hexi stopped laughing and started talking about business. "The Spring Festival is coming soon. We plan to sell a batch of Canglang Village New Year's goods online. I want to lead everyone to make preserved meats for the New Year, such as sausages, bacon, marinated food and so on."

"That's a good idea."

Aunt Cui took the lead in expressing support: "Don't look at their age, they are all experts in making sausages and bacon, and the taste is delicious. There will be absolutely no problem if you let them make this."

"If the mothers-in-law have no objection, this matter will be settled."

Jiang Hexi got back to the point and arranged the tasks one by one:

"This time, it will be the same as the mooncake making. We will all work together in the prefabricated house. Chu Yang and Wan Wan will be in charge of purchasing, and the task of cutting meat and stuffing sausages will be left to the aunties and grandmas."

"What the grandmothers need to do is to visit the village and see which households have native pigs and ask them if they are willing to sell them to us. We want to buy the pigs at a high price."

"Are they willing to give it a try?"

Granny Xiang responded enthusiastically, "Then we'll accuse them of destroying the reputation of Canglang Village's New Year goods, and see how they can survive in the village in the future. This way, they won't dare to stop selling pigs."

"A Xiang——"

Aunt Cui said to her, "Don't always accuse others of anything. As long as Sister Xi gives enough money, based on my understanding of the people in the village, none of them would be unwilling to sell pigs."

Jiang Hexi suddenly felt that his wallet was threatened.

Granny Xiang always listens to Grandma Cui. She always follows what Grandma Cui says:

"Atai is right. I will go door to door to collect pigs. I don't believe that we can't come to an agreement on this matter."

Yan Jie stood at the door, watching Jiang Hexi arrange the work in an orderly manner, and heard Shen Yingyu say behind him:

"Sister Xi's mass appeal would have made her a perfect women's director in the past."

"It seems like there is nothing for us to do here." Yan Jie smiled proudly.

"Indeed."

Shen Yingyu continued, "I mentioned the apricot gift pack to the general manager of the e-commerce company before. They acted quickly and have already purchased a batch of apricots. Once the yellow rice cakes and cured meats are released, we can sell them online together."

"From now on, let these three handle all these matters."

"What about us?"

Yan Jie looked at the excitement in the yard and said, "Harvest the corn in the field, complete the third phase of the ecological wetland park project, and the rest is up to fate."

Shen Yingyu naturally understood what he meant by leaving everything to fate.

After harvesting the crops and renting out the thousand acres of land, it was time to settle the accounts. He had no idea whether the income could offset the expenditure.

After all, the investment in the third phase of the ecological wetland park project is a considerable expense, and it is still unknown how much revenue Canglang Village can generate from New Year's goods.

"If we were only a little bit away from paying off the debt, would we still spare no effort to invest in the third phase of the project?"

"I think Ximei will give us a surprise in the end."

Yan Jie's eyes fell on Jiang Hexi reluctantly, "Even if there is nothing, we still have to do the right and meaningful things. We have the courage to start over again."

[My eyes are filled with tears. I never thought that one day, words like this would come out of the King of Yan’s mouth…]

[There is no lack of courage to start over. The flood that submerged the wheat was a watershed. Since then, the five chaebols have completed their own transformation. ]

[Ximei is becoming more and more like a leader. She only used two sesame chickens and asked the aunties and grandmas to help make pickled cabbage, and also assigned all the work of preparing New Year's goods. ]

[They had many opportunities to turn losses into profits, but they chose the most difficult path. Come on, come on, come on, my second generation of farmers! ]
