Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Qing Ning explained her plan to them. The idea was that the current shareholding system would be based on family units, with Old Lady Chen holding 10%, her uncle's family holding 40%, and her family holding 50%. Since she was the one who came up with the ideas and negotiated the deals, she would have an extra 10%. A monthly salary of 50 wen per person would be distributed, regardless of size, but additional or reduced amounts would be added to account for hours worked. Dividends would be distributed at the end of each year.

Then they talked about Qingke's snack business, which was to be split up. She would come up with the plan and negotiate sales, while Qingke would do the work. If they wanted help, Qingke would pay the monthly salary, with she taking 40% and Qingke taking 60%.

"Little sister, I take too much of this dim sum business. You take 70% and I take 30%. Otherwise I will feel uneasy." Qingke was really touched when she heard that Qingning had even arranged her dim sum business.

"Sister, don't think that I take too much. I didn't contribute much, it was mainly you. Although I found a way, if the things you make are not exquisite and not accepted by others, how can others agree?" Qing Ning actually wanted her elder sister to stand on her own and have skills, which would give her confidence when she found a husband in the future.

"Little sister, I know you are doing this for my own good, but this won't work. I can't take advantage of you for nothing." Qingke was also very determined.

"Okay, listen to grandma and split the dim sum business 50-50. Qingning is helping you now but you will have to support yourself later. Don't forget to remember her kindness." Old Mrs. Chen made the final decision and the two of them stopped arguing.

"And you, no matter whether this business can continue or not, whether it can be done well or not, no matter whether it makes money or loses money, you can't blame Qingning. Remember her kindness. A small person runs around for the whole family. If you feel resentment for such a small thing, leave as soon as possible." He swept his eyes over the crowd and said sternly.

"I'll remember this, mother. Never do that."

"Got it, grandma. No matter what happens, we won't blame you."

Everyone quickly expressed their opinions, saying that they were not ungrateful and that they had truly felt everything Qing Ning had done.

"Mom, the village chief is here." Chen Changjiang led the village chief into the kitchen wrapped in the cool wind and wet rain.

"The village chief is here. Please take a seat. Why did you make such a long trip?" Old Mrs. Chen stood up and offered her seat to the village chief. Mrs. Li quickly poured two cups of hot water and placed them in front of them.

"Sister-in-law, I heard from Changjiang that you want to build a workshop and buy land, and you also want to collect mushrooms, right?" The village chief was very excited. Apart from anything else, if he did a good job, all the villagers would become rich and he, the village chief, would also be proud.

"Yes, it was all done by the girl Lianpeng. She has found a place to sell it and signed a contract with the owner." This was to reassure the village chief and was not a joke.

"Yes, yes, Changjiang told me everything. I'm so happy. Lianpeng is a lucky girl. She even thinks about the villagers who are willing to take care of her." The village chief was happy no matter how he looked at Lianpeng. The child was smart, thoughtful and kind-hearted.

"Which land do you plan to buy? Good quality farmland is not cheap, and since you are building a workshop, I think wasteland will be fine. It's cheaper but more laborious to develop." The village chief suggested sincerely.

"Listen to the village chief, we want some wasteland. I think the sloping land not far from the mountain at the end of the village is very suitable. There's a small lake next to it." She had noticed that piece of land a long time ago.

"That piece of land is cheaper than wasteland. It has been left there because it is difficult to clean up. There are a lot of gravels on it and it will take some time to clean up." After thinking about it, the village chief felt that the land was cheap, but it would take some effort to clean up, but it was suitable.

"How many acres is that land?" asked Father Chen.

"There are thirty mu at 300 wen per mu, totaling nine thousand wen (nine liang)."

"What about the little lake next to it?"

"I'll give you that small lake along with that piece of sloping land. It's worth one hundred coins." The village chief thought about it and considered it a favor from the village. The lake was small and no one usually went there. There was a river running through the village, which originated from Junqing Mountain.

The Chen family was delighted when they heard this and immediately decided to buy the land and the lake together. They would ask Chen Changjiang to go with the village chief to get the land deed tomorrow.

Talking about collecting mushrooms, Father Chen directly told the price and made some requests, all of which the village chief agreed to. He only needed to gather the villagers tomorrow to inform them of the news. After everything was discussed, Chen Changjiang saw the village chief out.

"How can we build a workshop on such a large piece of land? The remaining money is not enough. Do we really need to buy such a large piece of land?" Tan calculated the money and felt that she had bought too much.

"Mom, this piece of land is connected. Since we don't need much now, we can just fence it off temporarily and just build a baking oven and a mushroom house. We will need them for other businesses later." Qing Ning comforted Tan and told everyone that the business would only grow bigger and they had to plan ahead.

"Listen to Qingning. She earned the money and came up with the idea. It doesn't matter if the land really becomes barren. We can leave it for future generations to build houses." It is said that although the old lady did not leave this small place, it did not prevent her from being decisive and doting on her children.

"I have already thought about how to plan this land. Let's focus on building the most important things first. The money will be enough if we use it frugally. I will ask Grandpa Ma to draw a blueprint tomorrow. We need to buy bricks, materials and hire people, so I'll have to trouble you, father." After Chen Changjiang sent the village chief in, he heard his daughter arranging tasks for him.

"Well, tell me first how much it will cost and how to build it so I can calculate the cost of materials and labor." He sat down next to Qing Ning and watched the little girl draw on the table with her fingers dipped in water.

"Build five large ovens side by side. The interior needs to be slightly modified so that more ovens can be baked. The oven room only needs to have roofs on both sides to protect it from wind and rain, and build a mushroom house." Qing Ning recalled the style of modern mushroom houses and drew some pictures. He said that they would just surround them with adobe walls first, and leave the rest for now and put three water tanks in the yard as a simple fire prevention measure.

The whole family gathered around, craning their necks to watch Qing Ning, talking and drawing, and a rough idea came into their minds.

"The bricks and tiles needed will cost about two thousand yuan. Now the gray bricks are five cents a piece, which is ten taels. Add in the materials, labor, food and drink, and it will take about five days to repair it, which will cost seven thousand five hundred coins. Add in the money for buying the land, and there will only be eight thousand five hundred coins left. Is this enough for collecting mushrooms?" You wouldn't know until you calculated it. This money is really not worth spending.

"It's okay, Father. We should be able to hold on for a while. We'll be able to recover once the other money comes in." Qing Ning also felt that this little money was not enough and she had to find a way to make more money.

"Oh, by the way, big sister, remember to prepare the snacks and send them to Shizhen Pavilion early tomorrow morning for payment on the spot." Qing Ning said worriedly again, saying that it was the first time to do business, so one must be punctual and trustworthy.

"I know, you don't have to worry about it, it will definitely be done." Qingke responded gently.

"Tomorrow is Qingming Festival and you have a day off. I will take care of all these things tomorrow. You can leave the construction of the workshop to Brother Changhai. He is an expert in building houses and stoves." Chen Changjiang immediately responded. He couldn't let the children arrange everything.

"It rained tonight, so the mushrooms will definitely grow well tomorrow. We have to go up the mountain to pick more. Aunt, Mom, you can first find some good uncles and aunts you know to go with you so you can pick more." After thinking for a moment, he said, "Tomorrow, you four brothers will have to work harder. Go up the mountain with us and pick any ripe mushrooms. And if you find any dead wood that is growing mushrooms, bring them back together."

"Okay, no problem." Everyone responded.

"Grandma, my eldest sister, my second sister, and I are preparing offerings for our ancestors at home, so that they may bless us." He grinned, revealing a mouthful of white baby teeth. Everyone was incredibly excited; life had hope and promise.
