Xia Ran looked at the time and saw that it was time for the two bosses introduced to Cheng Zi to deliver the meat, so she drove away at the agreed time.

In addition to the meat that had been ordered yesterday, Xia Ran specially took a few more old hens and roosters, as well as rabbit meat and eggs.

The two bosses' factories were not far from each other, so Xia Ran made a trip to each of them and completed all the deliveries.

They were very satisfied with the beef, mutton and pork they had already ordered. "Boss Xia, it's really good. They are all good meats. They look the same as what we saw yesterday. Not bad. You didn't fool us."

"Of course not. The high price has its reasons. We have to make everyone feel that it is worth it. Come, take a look at the chicken and rabbit meat, as well as eggs. See if you want them. They are of this quality."

"You cleaned it up very well. This old hen is good. Look at the chicken thigh, it's strong and plump, not bad. The rooster and rabbit meat seem good too. However, rabbit meat can't be compared with chicken meat. Rabbit meat is just a game delicacy. If you want to satisfy your craving, you have to eat chicken."

"Your eggs seem pretty good."

"The eggs taste great, not fishy at all, and are very nutritious and affordable. They are all laid by the chickens that people raise at home."

Xia Ran is not exaggerating. The eggs from her hometown are indeed delicious. Xia Ran especially likes to fry them with leeks grown at home. The golden eggs have a hint of green inside, which is both delicious and beautiful.

The last boss ordered another 2600 yuan worth of goods, and another boss ordered another 1800 yuan worth of goods. However, the demand for rabbit meat was very small, which was also within Xia Ran's expectations.

Xia Ran happily collected the payment for the previous goods and left. The new goods were scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, the reason being that they were freshly slaughtered.

After delivering this batch of goods, Xia Ran sent another batch of goods to the store, and these three items should be put online as well.

Thinking of the merit, Xia Ran called Secretary Wang again, "How is the application for electricity going?"

Secretary Wang: "I was just about to call you. The application has been approved and it has been confirmed. It can be installed. The power company has already entered the village to survey the terrain."

"That's perfect. Have you done the math for this? How much budget do you think it will take?"

"I estimated that it would cost at least 1800 yuan, and the exact amount will have to wait until the power company completes the survey. There are a total of 9 large villages in our township, with 26 communities under them. The villages along the highway are easy to deal with, but the most worrying thing is the people living in the mountains. They live too scattered, and there are only one or two small villages after crossing several mountains. Such places are the most troublesome, the journey is too long, the cost is too high, and it is difficult to deal with.

Do you have so much money? Will it affect you? Here’s what I think. If possible, you can just take care of the cement poles in the public areas, and let the villagers solve the problem themselves. Otherwise, the cost will be too high.”

Secretary Wang felt embarrassed to pick on Xia Ran alone, and it didn't make sense to do so.

The village uses wooden poles to make them, paints them, and they can last for many years.

"Okay, sure. I'll make a call later and have someone send the money to you. Let's do it." Because of his intervention, his village had electricity more than two years ahead of schedule, which could be considered a good deed.

How wonderful it is to have electricity just by pulling the cord. Unlike before, it was pitch dark at night, and the kerosene lamps were fumes and not bright, and most importantly, they were not cheap.

The main thing is that it is inconvenient to do anything.

"Okay, I won't say thank you any more. When the time comes, we'll paint the poles to indicate that it's your donation. Think about what name or unit to write on it when you're done."

By the way, help Xia Ran with publicity. How can you do business in this place without a good reputation? Just consider it as a way to give back to Xia Ran for his contribution to his hometown. This is also the result of the township government's brainstorming meeting.

This idea was proposed by a new subordinate, and the others immediately agreed: it is not easy to have such a person from your hometown, and while everyone is pushing him, it is also a good idea to fatten him up so that you can continue to make money from him later. In case the other party is happy, you can donate some money later.

Their village is so poor, their work is so difficult, even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

Secretary Wang had this plan in mind already. Without waiting for her to propose it, everyone else agreed, so she naturally made the decision.

There is also this benefit. "Okay, Secretary Wang, don't think about it, just write the two words Shenzhou, and don't advertise that it was donated by me, just say that it was donated by an organization called Shenzhou. It's not good to write a person's name."

Anyway, it was Xia Ran who spent the money, and the merit would be counted on her, so superficial fame was not important. Who needs fame when there are tangible benefits?

What's more, it is not easy to get false reputation at this time. It is very easy to be morally kidnapped and targeted by various organizations and units, who come to beg for alms from time to time.

She didn't want to be kidnapped.

For people with good conditions in large villages with a large population, it costs a lot of money just to celebrate the Spring Festival.

He has to pay the biggest share for opera performances, community performances, shadow play, and also for activities like welcoming and worshiping ancestors.

Wherever you can think of in daily life where everyone needs to raise funds or crowdfund to pay, these wealthy families have to pay the biggest share.

Of course, people like this are generally happy to spend the money.

It means that one lives a good life, is a person of some importance, is well-respected when going out, has a good reputation, is respected by others, and has a good reputation.

So even though they spent money, they were very happy.

Xia Ran doesn't care about face, she only cares about the inside.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Secretary Wang also breathed a sigh of relief. She was also afraid that they would mean well but end up doing something bad.

Xia Ran thought about it and said directly, "How about this, Secretary Wang, I will use the name of Shenzhou to donate money to our township for digging wells. You can count how many wells our township needs in total. Once you have counted, give me a number and I will pay for it."

It is so difficult for the villagers to get water. It might be better to help them solve the water problem.

Chenjia Village is located next to the highway and is the place with the lowest altitude in the entire county. But even so, the well in her family is 9 meters deep.

Not to mention some people living in the mountains, Xia Ran has even heard of wells that were more than 13 meters deep.

Of course, this also depends on the underground water source. In some villages, the wells only need to be more than 6 feet deep.

The key is that the cost of digging a well is high, and there are only a few wells in a village.

As for water cellars like the ones built by people in northern Shaanxi, there seemed to be a policy in the year 2000 that stated that families who met the requirements could build water cellars, and the government would provide the necessary cement for free, while the sand could be dug out from the river themselves.

Even so, there are only a few vacancies in a village, and people without connections cannot apply.

Later, those who had water cellars did not use them much. They mainly relied on God. But who can predict what God will do? If he says it won't rain, it won't rain. It's almost useless.

What's more, the village soon installed running water, and the water in the water cellar was only occasionally used for the family's livestock to drink.
