Chapter 218 I Don’t Want to Leave Any Regrets

"It would be great if we can dig a well, no matter how far it is! But after digging the well, we must keep an eye on it and not let anyone add anything into it, otherwise it will harm everyone." The stone courtyards in the mountain village are all built against the mountain, and there is no way to dig a well. Hua Xiali himself is aware of this.

It would be great as long as we can dig a well. At worst we can install water pipes and bring the water into the courtyard, so that everyone can get water more conveniently.

Jia Chenyang smiled and nodded, "Xia Li, leave the work to me, don't worry! I promise to complete every task successfully."

"By the way, when will the sugarcane be planted?" Jia Chenyang asked again.

"Didn't we send two people here to teach you? Just follow their instructions on how to plant sugarcane. They know how to plant it. After they teach you how to plant sugarcane, they will go back."

After all, their home is not here. If they are asked to work here, they will not be able to take care of the affairs at home. So after they have taught the people here, they will be allowed to go back.

"How many of these people who come to open up the wasteland do you plan to keep?" Jia Chenyang asked.

"After the sugarcane is planted, we will keep 20 employees and have them sign the employee contract. We will follow the rules and regulations in the future. As for the rest, we will have them continue to open up wasteland, build roads, plant trees, and dig the mountain spring channel again. When the work is done, we will let them go back. If they are still at home, we will find them when we need them. If they are not at home, we will find someone else. We will need people to cut and move sugarcane in the future."

Hua Xiali had agreed with the old village chief that he would provide some jobs for the villagers, but it was impossible to keep everyone here just to ensure that everyone had an income.

After all, there are only so many things to do, and once they are done, there will be nothing to do. Should we all take a break?
Where does she get so much money to support idle people?

"When the people here learn how to grow sugarcane, you can choose an assistant. If there is anything you need, you can ask the assistant to do it. Otherwise, everything will pile up in your hands, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

Jia Chenyang nodded, "I understand."

"I still have 150 grape seedlings here. Try to plant the grapes together and don't plant them everywhere." Hua Xiali said.

"Okay." Jia Chenyang agreed.

After the boss of the nursery unloaded all the saplings, he paid the final payment and went back early. Hua Xiali did not go back with him. She left only after she finished watering the saplings with two buckets of water. However, she marked the trees that had not been watered with spiritual spring water in time, so when she came back in two days, she could start watering from that tree.

Later, Hua Xiali went to his fourth uncle's house again and gave him seeds of fruits and vegetables, asking them to continue growing fruits and vegetables this year.

Hua Xiali stores all the vegetables grown on the six acres of land here in the space and keeps them for himself. The vegetables grown in the vegetable garden in Huazhuang are grown in cooperation with the restaurant.

Because of the vegetables provided by Hua Xiali, the restaurant owner had already opened a large restaurant in the county and the city center. Now the demand for fresh vegetables is even greater. Although some colleagues reported his restaurant because they were jealous of his money, and people from relevant work units also investigated his restaurant, they did not find any problems, not even hygiene problems, let alone illegal problems.

They also tested all the vegetables and seasonings in the restaurant and found no additives. It might be because the soil and water in Huazhuang are good, so the vegetables grown there are delicious and everyone loves to eat them.

Later, on one occasion, the restaurant owner went to Huazhuang to collect vegetables in person, but was blocked by other villagers in Huazhuang. They wanted him to collect everyone's vegetables as well. The owner thought that since they were all from the same village and had the same soil and water, there should be no difference in the vegetables grown. Besides, everyone had such a small private plot that they could not grow much, so he agreed.

The price was simply lowered to half the purchase price of Hua Xiali, but the boss soon regretted it because those people with picky tastes could immediately taste the vegetables from the villagers and questioned the restaurant manager, asking if he had changed the chef? Why did the taste differ so much?

It was at this time that the boss realized that the taste of the vegetables grown by the villagers and those grown by Hua Xiali was really different. In other words, if he wanted to continue to make money, he could only cooperate with Hua Xiali. If he cooperated with others, he would not make any money and would also ruin his reputation.

But the boss had already promised the other villagers, and it was difficult to go back on his word, so the restaurant continued to use the vegetables grown by Hua Xiali, and the vegetables from other villagers were sold to the vegetable market by the employees, who added 20 cents to the wholesale price per pound. He couldn't help others for nothing and not make a penny, right?
He's not that kind.

After that, the boss no longer dared to have any other thoughts and only bought goods from Hua Xiali. Even if the price was much higher than the market price, it didn't matter, because he could also raise the price due to the price of raw materials. Diners who could come to the restaurant every day were not short of money.

Moreover, he also had to keep his supply channels secret and didn't want others to know about it, otherwise he would have competitors. Hua Xiali's vegetable garden was not very large, just enough to supply him alone. He naturally would not be stupid enough to tell outsiders, otherwise if it was snatched away by others, he would not be able to find such fresh and delicious fruits and vegetables.

Hua Xiali initially gave him hundreds of kilograms of vegetables for him to try. The vegetables did taste better than those sold outside, and others had tested them before and found that the vegetables did not have any additives, so there was no problem. It might be that the fertilizer used in the planting process was different from that of others. Otherwise, there was really no way to explain this matter.

Hua Xiali was too lazy to go out and sell vegetables bit by bit, so it was a good thing that someone could directly buy all the vegetables she grew. As long as the price was right, she didn't want to bother looking for new partners.

When the time officially entered March, the sugarcane fields and vegetable fields also became busy, and everyone was doing every task seriously.

Hua Xiali occasionally went on patrol, and spent the rest of his time at home reading and studying, feeding poultry and livestock, and planting vegetables in the yard.

There were already several old peach trees in her yard, which had blossomed early, and looked particularly beautiful. The fruit trees that she had gotten from her fourth uncle had also blossomed after being watered with the spiritual spring water, and they could eat the fruits this year.

Hua Xiali still goes to school occasionally. After all, the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and she has a lot of things to do every day. If she misses it, she will not be able to take the exam this year.

She doesn't want to leave any regrets in her life.

Hua Xiali goes to Baibao County once every two weeks to learn about the progress there. After all, she plans to earn back her capital this year.
