The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

"Fengzi, go buy some more vegetable seeds and fruit seeds tomorrow. I want to tidy up the land you cleared and plant some vegetables and fruits so we can have something to eat when it gets hot. My sister-in-law said that in the summer, when making cold noodles, we need a lot of cabbage and cucumbers. If we plant more, we can save some money."

Song Chunni has been doing farm work since she can remember, and she still thinks about it now. She always feels uneasy if she doesn't plant something, and isn't that what they need?

“Okay, there are many people in the family, so we can grow a little bit of everything, including peanuts.”

Grain can be bought, and all the wasteland can be used to grow vegetables.

"Has the house construction been finalized yet?"

"I've left this matter entirely to the village chief and Foreman Song. I'll just check on them occasionally. Oh, by the way, Xiao Ning, the shopkeeper said we need to increase the quantity of cured meat and sausages, especially the spicy ones."

"Increase the quantity, how much?" If we increase it again, we won't have enough manpower.

"He told me to add as much as possible, because his master plans to sell this in his own grocery store and supply it to other restaurants and hotels. This quantity is quite alarming. They don't know the exact amount they need right now, they just want us to add as much as possible."

"Cured pork is fine, but sausage won't do, there's no sausage."

"Regarding the intestinal problem, he said that someone from a nearby county goes there every day to collect the waste and deliver it to our home."

Emma!

As expected of a big boss, he solved their supply problem in one go.

"We don't have enough manpower, Mother. What do you think?"

What could Su Shi possibly think? She never imagined she could hire people to do her work, let alone that her household could be so extravagant.

"Don't ask me anything, just do whatever you want."

"Brother Feng, what about you?"

Song Feng thought for a moment, "There's definitely not enough space at home to handle all this. We'll probably need a workshop. As for the workers, there are plenty of idle people in the village. If we're worried about them leaking the formula, we can buy people, put them in servitude contracts, and keep them from leaving the workshop. That way, we won't have to worry about the formula being leaked."

Fang Xiaoning nodded. He was right. He had made a lot of progress in the past six months.

"Do you want to hire people or use villagers? They can't steal the recipe. No matter who you hire, I don't plan to let them touch the cured meat business for the time being."

If she really has to let go in the future, she will only give it to a few people she trusts. But she won't tell anyone about the formula. Right now, all the powder is handled by her and Song Feng, and Song Feng grinds it all in the house.

So hiring and buying people doesn't really affect us much?

Fang Xiaoning nodded. She didn't think it was a big deal; all they did was cleanse and enema the intestines. The only part that was exposed was the intestinal casing.

"Then let's hire the villagers to do it, so that everyone can have another way to make a living."

She knew he would say that.

"In that case, we'll continue building the house. This time, we'll separate the cured meat and sausages. I plan to have a few trusted aunties, like the village chief's aunt, make the cured meat. Their yards will be separate from the sausage-making yards. Better safe than sorry." In this way, they will continue to run up their accounts with the restaurant.

Su nodded in agreement, "Xiao Ning is right. We must keep this prescription safe."

Song Chunni agreed, emphasizing that one's livelihood skills should not be easily revealed.

How many people do we need to hire?

"What did the Silver Money Restaurant say?"

"The shopkeeper said they could pay in advance, but of course they wouldn't lend it for free; we would give them a discount of two coins per pound of meat."

Okay, that's normal, I can understand.

"I plan to hire twenty people to help out for the first time. What do you think? Of course, we'll talk about that after the workshop is built."

Song Feng also felt that twenty was enough; if not, they could add more. "Where should the workshop be built?"

“Isn’t there a piece of wasteland to our right? It’s only about a kilometer from our house, so it’s easy for us to manage.”

Song Xiaogu couldn't help but sigh, "Who would have thought that in less than a year, you would have bought up almost all the wasteland nearby?"

“My aunt reminded me that if we’re going to build it, we should build it big so we don’t run out of space later. Brother Feng, go ask the village chief. We’ve bought all the wasteland nearby. We’ll build a big workshop, including a warehouse. We also need to dig a well, especially since the workshop that cleans intestines needs to have enough water.”

Song Xiaogu remained silent. She had only said it casually, "Fengzi's wife, why did you take it to heart? Building such a large structure, will it really be used?"

Song Feng was a man of action; "I'll go find Uncle Village Chief after I finish eating." Everyone in the village wanted to build a house, right? This time, they'd be quite busy.
