The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1217: Chapter 1217: Reuse

After the sixteenth day of the first lunar month had passed, the New Year was considered over, and as everyone had rested enough, they all started to get busy preparing for the livelihood of the new year.

Yang Ruxin looked at the vibrant chili seedlings, which seemed to her like Gold Ingots. She felt that by autumn, the Sichuan restaurant would surely open. However, she would only start businesses in the town and county; as for those in outer areas, she would let the Eighth Prince take care of them while she provided materials such as chili sauces and powders.

Of course, it wasn’t just Yang Ruxin who was excited, but also a crazy one, and that was Yang Rulin. This lad had been acting like he was possessed recently; he didn’t even take a break for the New Year and was instead buried in work at the furniture workshop. It seemed that his pals were also stimulated by the prospect of making money, working frenetically with him. Not only did they produce the furniture designs Yang Ruxin had come up with, but they also, through her suggestions, created many new styles on their own, such as the multifunctional folding cane chair. Folded up, it was a walking stick, but spread out, it became a very comfortable little chair, particularly suited for elderly people to rest anywhere when they got tired during a stroll.

Seeing all this, Yang Ruxin felt she definitely hadn’t picked the wrong people and provided many more novel ideas from the modern era, invigorating the workshop even further.

Qian Er even approached her several times to say that they were running out of goods and must restock.

So, the transport team needed to set off earlier.

The only issue was that a round trip took nearly two months, and with spring ploughing coming up, she worried that some families might not be able to spare the manpower.

However, to Yang Ruxin’s surprise, as soon as she mentioned that the transport team was setting out, not a single person from the previous families declined; on the contrary, they were all very eager.

Everyone knew how to calculate. A round trip, if done quickly, could take one and a half months, and even with delays, it wouldn’t take more than two. Not only were food and accommodations provided along the way, but after one trip, one could earn five or six taels of Silver – more than what a family could make in an entire year. Who could pass up such an opportunity? Even if they couldn’t sow their crops in time, they could rent out their land or not plant at all and still buy food without starving – life could even be better than just farming.

After her initial shock, Yang Ruxin quickly understood the key point, and the village elder even revealed that many people were trying to curry favor with him to get their sons or husbands into the team.

”Village elder, recruit anyone you deem reliable and steadfast into the team. I need to set up another transport team in Beijing; one team is just too slow...” Yang Ruxin smiled, ”Oh, by the way, don’t include Brother Zhenshan into the transport team...”

”My girl, do you have an issue with him?” Yang Mancang was taken aback, ”That lad is my son, but I don’t play favorites – he’s diligent in his work, and he...”

”Hehe...” Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but laugh, ”Of course, I know Brother Zhenshan is diligent and smart, and most importantly, he’s reliable. That’s why I have a more important use for him...”

”What?” Yang Mancang seemed somewhat confused.

”I’ll have more and more business dealings in the future, and I need a Manager...”

”Xinxin, even though Zhenshan has studied for a couple of years, how can he be a Manager? That...”

”Auntie...” Yang Ruxin suddenly winked mischievously and called out loudly.

Lin Xiaoling, busy in the kitchen, rushed in wielding a kitchen knife, ”Xinxin, what’s wrong?” followed by a bewildered Geng Jinhua, carrying a fire poker in her hand.
