When talking about Mo Rao's father and brother, the village chief happened to see Mo's father at the foot of the mountain, so he stepped forward and introduced him: "Sir, this is the father of the little girl Mo I was talking about."

“Oh,” the county magistrate responded after hearing this.

Father Mo was in a daze at the moment, and he would not have come to his senses if the village chief hadn't reminded him.

"Boss Mo, why don't you come over and meet the county magistrate?"

When Father Mo saw the man in official uniform next to the village chief, he recognized him as the county magistrate at a glance. However, ordinary people were instinctively afraid of officials when they saw them.

Father Mo was no exception. After hearing the words of the village chief, he immediately came to his senses and stammered forward, saying, "Your Excellency the County Magistrate." As he spoke, he was about to kneel down to salute.

The county magistrate hurriedly stopped him, saying, "No need to be so polite. I'm just taking a look around. Are both of the hills in your village yours?"

Father Mo said carefully: "To answer your question, sir, yes."

Could you take me in to have a look?

Father Mo thought about it and agreed.

There is a high wall erected around the mountain. If you want to see what is inside clearly, you still have to go in.

The few of them walked along the path. The originally dense forest on the mountain had disappeared. The trees were uprooted and the stones were cleared and piled aside. It looked very empty.

Seeing this, the county magistrate was very puzzled. This peasant girl was planning to open up wasteland and cultivate land on the mountain! Although this mountain is relatively short and has a small slope, it can be used to grow plants, but spending such a huge amount of money just to open up wasteland and cultivate land, is there something wrong with her brain?

With the money used to open up mountains and farm, it would be more than enough to buy thousands of acres of fertile land. What's the point of this?

After reaching the second hill, the county magistrate decided not to go any further. After all, the road on both sides of the second hill was densely packed with trees. It went without saying that there were deep mountains and old forests further in. The further he went, the more nervous he became.

He was also afraid. If he encountered wild beasts like wild boars and wolves, it would be terrible.

He had heard that a pack of wolves appeared in the mountains years ago and injured the people working there. If there had not been so many people working there at the time and they had killed the wolves, he didn't think they would have had a chance of winning against the wolves.

The area surrounding these two mountains is separated from the deep mountains. Naturally, the county magistrates are unaware of this, and Mo's father, the village chief, and others will not deliberately remind them.

They also didn't want the county magistrate to move forward. Without Mo Rao's approval, they didn't want to bring outsiders on a tour. But the person in front of them was the county magistrate.

Fortunately, the county magistrate did not want to move forward, which was exactly what they wanted.

How could the magistrate have known that the hilltop Mo Rao had bought was already separated from the deep mountains? He assumed they had only built a wall around it. After all, enclosing the entire hillside with a wall would be a massive undertaking. Isn't this just a case of having too much money to spend?

What the county magistrate didn't know was that Mo Rao was really bored and went to the trouble of building the wall.

They breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing off the county magistrate. At this time, Mo Qingshan had also rented a shop in the county town. Since he was running a grocery store, he did not need overly luxurious decoration. He used a simple and minimalist decoration and completed it in a few days.

The day after Mo Rao returned, Mo Qingshan's grocery store had already been tidied up. All they had to do was load the goods and hang up the sign before they could open for business.

Mo Rao got up early in the morning, and before she could distribute the gifts she brought back to everyone, she was dragged away by her eldest brother to do hard labor.

Looking at the well-organized grocery store, Mo Rao was truly impressed by her eldest brother. The rows of shelves looked quite authentic, and the store was at least a hundred square meters in size, with a backyard containing a well, a kitchen, and two main rooms. Overall, it was quite complete.

In the store, she saw everything from rotating dining tables to manual washing machines. Toilets, washbasins, vegetable sinks, and pipes...

From needles and thread to small items, it has everything and can be called a real grocery store.

Now that the weather is gradually warming up, charcoal usage is relatively low. So, we only have some on hand in the shop. The charcoal is actually produced by the Mo family themselves. It's just that the production time is wrong. With spring just around the corner, no one would buy charcoal at this time. So, the bulk of the charcoal is stored in a moisture-proof cave.

Mo Rao, Mo Sanya and Mo Xiaowu, the three siblings, were all busy placing goods on the shelves.

Mo Qingshan was moving and transporting goods, and boxes of goods were piled up next to Mo Rao, which made it convenient for them to take and display the goods.

Thinking that there was no shop name on the door, he asked, "Brother, has the grocery store not been named yet?"

Oops! I almost forgot. I don’t know what to name the store. I’ve been agonizing over it for days.

"Mom and Dad can't think of any nice names, so you should come up with one, eldest sister," Mo Qingshan said seriously.

My parents named my eldest brother Qingshan Grocery Store, but I think it’s too rustic, Mo Sanya said seriously.

Mo Rao smiled and said: Big brother has thought of a name

I have opened the Mo Family Grocery Store, but none of my brothers like it, so you should think of one, sister, Mo Sanya said with a smile.

Mo Qingshan continued, "Sister, what's a better name for this shop?" Mo Qingshan said as he sorted out the goods in his hands.

Do you think so highly of me? So Mo Rao thought for a moment and said, "How about calling it Sihai Grocery Store?"

This is a good name, Mo Sanya said first.

Mo Baoshan also said: Well, okay.

Mo Qingshan also thought that this name was feasible, so he decided to call it Sihai Grocery Store.

"Okay, the eldest sister is really good. This name sounds very resonant." Mo Qingshan praised.

The grocery store was proposed by Mo Qingshan, so Mo's mother had no objection. After all, her daughter had her own business, and she naturally hoped that her son would be able to support himself.

As her children are all capable, she is naturally happy as a mother.

Mo Qingshan also hopes that he can achieve some results so that he can protect his younger siblings. Although the Mo family is not short of money now, he still wants to do things with his own abilities.

Therefore, the initial investment in the store was repeatedly reduced, and all the money in my pocket was also emptied.

Fortunately, the grocery store has a wide variety of products, including some that are not available on the market, and business became booming within a few days of opening.

The grocery store soon got back on track. The shop hired a manager and a clerk. All the members of the Mo family learned to read from Shiwu and others, so they had no problem doing some simple accounting.

Mo Qingshan marked the prices of all the goods and also listed all the goods on a delivery list. As long as the goods were sold, they had to be registered. Even if the shopkeeper wanted to make changes to the accounts, he couldn't.

When the laboratory was renovated inside and out, the distiller was quietly transported up the mountain at night. After that, the gate of the laboratory in the valley was closed. Except for Twelve and others, even Mo's father and mother and others were not allowed to enter the laboratory without Mo Rao's approval.

Li Lingye didn't even need to think about it. He didn't expect that he would be stopped by the guards at the door. He hadn't seen this woman for several days.

He went out before dawn every day and came home after dark, which made him really unable to sit still, so he came over to take a look, but he didn't expect to be stopped outside.

The reason why Mo Rao didn't let anyone get close to this place was because she was afraid that it would accidentally explode, which could be fatal. Naturally, she didn't dare to let her family come over.

These days she has been refining oil, which is a precious natural resource and can be used to produce many important things.

First of all, petroleum can be refined into fuels such as gasoline, diesel and kerosene, which can play a great role in her subsequent inventions.

Secondly, petroleum can also be refined into lubricating oil and grease, which are used to reduce wear and friction of mechanical equipment and extend its service life. These things will be used in the future.

In addition, petroleum can also be refined into chemical raw materials such as paraffin, asphalt and plastic, and greenhouse cultivation can be carried out with clinker.
