Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

In the following days, everyone performed their duties.

Liu's father first went to two nearby villages to buy some usable wasteland. Those wastelands were all stone slabs that could not be used for farming. He also bought more than 20 acres of fertile land.

There weren't many fields for sale in the village, so Liu's father offered a relatively good price. Plus, the harvests in recent years had been poor, so more than 20 acres was already a lot.

The main reason is that the village chiefs of the two neighboring villages, east and west, are nice people, and Liu's father always brings some small gifts every time he goes there.

Most people at this time are still relatively simple and have their own little thoughts. It is normal to use their position to gain some small advantages and seek some benefits for their families.

In the face of major issues, no one has the courage to commit crimes.

Overall, it is enough that he has neither done anything good nor made any mistakes during his time as village chief.

Father Liu still has a good handle on the human relationships.

The way to maintain a long-term relationship is to win people's hearts by doing small favors while not giving up your principles.

Farmland was hard to buy, but no one wanted hilltops. Liu's father easily took over the hills behind the two hilltops. In this way, the three hilltops formed a T-shape, with a total area of ​​more than 4,000 acres. In total, he cost less than 5,000 taels of silver, which was much more cost-effective than selling farmland.

Father Liu happily went to the government office with the two village chiefs and got the land deed done.

"Village Chief Lu, Village Chief Ma, thank you for following me to the government office. Come on, now that we're done, let's go to my braised meat shop and have a drink."

"This is what we should do. Mr. Liu, don't spend any money. It's not easy to open a shop and do business."

"They are all our own shops. I am making a profit by treating you to drinks. It is better than going to other restaurants. Our own food will rot in our own pot. Let's go..."

Father Liu took the two of them to the braised meat shop, which was doing good business.

However, when they arrived, the lunch rush had already passed, so Father Liu and the two village chiefs found a seat inside the shop.

Father Liu went straight to cut a plate of pork head, a plate of offal platter, took six sesame cakes, and asked the waiter in the store to go to the street and get a pound of white wine.

The three of them started eating.

The wine smelled good and the meat was delicious, and a warm and lively atmosphere suddenly filled the shop.

Father Liu raised his glass and said with a smile, "Come on, Village Chief Lu and Village Chief Ma, I toast to you and thank you for your support and help to our family. This land deed was successfully processed thanks to your hard work and care."

Village Chief Lu and Village Chief Ma quickly raised their glasses and clinked them with Father Liu's. Village Chief Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, you are too polite. We are from the same village, and it is only natural for us to help each other. Your braised meat shop is well-known, and it is rare for me to taste it in person today!"

Village Chief Ma also agreed, "Yes, Mr. Liu's cooking skills are amazing, especially the pig head and offal platter, which are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, spicy and delicious, and really makes people linger on the taste. We are lucky to be able to drink in such a good shop."

The three of them ate and chatted, and the topics ranged from shop business to the recent situation in the village and then to the harvest of crops. The atmosphere became increasingly lively.

Listening to the village heads' plans and expectations for the village's development, Father Liu's heart was filled with energy and confidence.

"Speaking of which, our family was able to settle down so quickly on the farm, all thanks to the care of the villagers. In the future, I plan to expand the business and recruit more people so that the young people in our village can also have a way to make money. Also, as I mentioned before to the two village heads, how about letting the family grow more vegetables, not just any vegetables, but also poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese, and fish?" Father Liu put down his chopsticks and said seriously.

"Master Liu, since you have such a good idea for our village, you will be our village's great benefactor in the future! Don't worry, the village will fully support you if you have any request. Master Liu, to be honest, everyone is happy to grow vegetables, but not all the villagers can afford to raise chickens, ducks, geese, and fish. It is difficult for each family to raise a few chickens. Not to mention ducks, geese, and fish. Fish are better. There is a river nearby. Every year, we can catch a few fish in the river and bring them back for the New Year. The river here can't support fishing boats. Raising fish is even more difficult."

Village Chief Ma also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the situation in our village is similar. However, I have already thought of a way. These people in the village are all related to each other, and most of them are honest farmers, except for those few second-rate people who are not doing their job properly.

I still want to lead my fellow villagers to live a good life. In the spring of next year, I plan to build a small breeding farm next to the village ancestral hall. I learned this from you, Mr. Liu.

The village will invest in buying some chicks and ask the needy households in the village to take care of them. Other families with the means can also invest. At the end of the year, I will give them dividends according to their investment. The rest will belong to the village, and this money will be used for the development of the village in the future.”

Father Liu thinks that this village chief Ma is really good. Nowadays, the village is the unit of activity, and many villages are composed of people from the same family. Some village chiefs are also clan leaders, so they have even greater say.

Once you have a say, you can basically get things done.

Village Chief Lu also wanted to do this, but he was a little worried. He took a sip of wine to build up his courage and asked, "Master Liu, I've also seen your farm. How many poultry can you raise in such a large farm? If you raise so many poultry yourselves in the future, can you still take in the ones raised in the village?"

Father Liu knew his worries and comforted him, "Village Chief Lu, don't worry. If your two villages are willing, we can sign a supply contract. Of course, both parties must abide by the contract. If either party violates the contract, it must pay liquidated damages to the other party. Also, doing business is inherently risky. We can only guarantee that your products can be sold, but we cannot guarantee that there will be no problems in the process of growing vegetables and breeding."

"Of course! We have been raising chickens for so many years, and many families in the village also raise pigs. Problems are rare. We really can't blame others for natural disasters or man-made disasters."

The two village chiefs raised their glasses and said, "Master Liu, we toast to you. Your arrival has really brought a lot of benefits to our village."

Not to mention that there are people who come to the village to collect vegetables every day.

They were building houses in their village, and the craftsmen in the village all found work after the autumn harvest, and the work was near their homes. Not only was the wages the same as in the city, but they also received a free meal at noon.

It is also convenient to go home after work in the evening, and it is much more relaxing than going to the city to find workers.

Father Liu could see that the two were really grateful, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He didn't expect that the two were so grateful. He raised his glass and proposed again: "Come on, let's drink to our common village!"

"Dry!"

The three of them drank it all in one gulp, and their laughter echoed in the shop.
