Then Qian Xiaoxing and Uncle Xu visited the mushroom planting plant. The factory was located in the woods and the trees in the woods were not cut down, because the mushrooms themselves could grow in dark places and could not be exposed to the sun.

The second sister-in-law was leading the workers to clean up the shrubs and weeds in the woods. When she saw Qian Xiaoxing coming to inspect, she hurriedly greeted her and greeted her.

The second sister-in-law took Qian Xiaoxing to the wood where the mushrooms were released and took a look. Small black bags were already exposed on the woods, and small umbrellas were already blooming and were growing vigorously.

The second sister-in-law asked, "Dong Qian, do you know how long it takes to collect this mushroom?"

"It's about two or three months. By the way, I used to hear that mushrooms are expensive. How expensive are they?" Qian Xiaoxing asked.

Uncle Xu replied: "I rarely go out to sell it. Usually, I dry it. After a few pounds of pounds, I will sell it in Guandu. It can be sold for about 600 cents per pound."

Qian Xiaoxing calculated that a pound of dried mushrooms requires 6-8 pounds of fresh mushrooms to dry. So, a pound of fresh mushrooms can be sold for 100 ci, which is worth RMB 50, and the price is also good.

Looking at the large forest in front of me, I remember that the yield of one acre could reach 600 kilograms of dry products in the past. The output value of one acre is 360 taels. Looking at the about ten acres of land in front of me, the harvest was more than 3,000 taels, which was indeed good.

"Six hundred people, the price is good, Uncle Xu, this plant can be expanded as big as possible," said Qian Xiaoxing.

"Okay, my second sister-in-law and I will go and see where there are some places suitable for planting," Uncle Xu replied.

In the next few days, there are two things to deal with, one is the excavation of the Pearl Pond and the other is the construction of an oil press. The Pearl Pond does not need to be very deep, and it is almost one and a half meters. It is a depression itself, so it is excavated relatively quickly. The excavation can also build dams.

Looking at the soon-to-be-digging Pearl Pond, Qian Xiaoxing and Xu Rulan next to him explained in detail the precautions for feeding pearl musses. The water should not be too clear, otherwise it will be without nutrition and too dirty, and it will pollute the water quality.

In modern times, pearl mussels are raised by floats. In ancient times, there was nothing but wood. Qian Xiaoxing asked them to build wooden stakes in the pond and then hang them on wooden stakes.

Seeing Qian Xiaoxing talking for most of the day, Xu Rulan took a bowl of cold water and handed it to Qian Xiaoxing: "Dong Qian, have a little tea."

Qian Xiaoxing took a sip and said that Xu Rulan was still twenty-seven years old, but her figure was still very good. She was wearing tight clothes, with a bulge in front and a slim waist, pretty facial features, and bright eyes. She couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Dong Qian, you see you are sweating, wipe it off." Xu Rulan handed over a white handkerchief.

"No need for this." Qian Xiaoxing wiped his sweat with his sleeve. Seeing Xu Rulan caring about him so much, he couldn't help but ask: "Who else in your family?"

"There are parents and husbands." When Xu Rulan talked about her husband, her eyes dimmed. Qian Xiaoxing noticed this strangeness and did not ask any further questions.

After leaving the pearl factory, Qian Xiaoxing pulled Uncle Xu and asked: "Uncle Xu, what's going on in Xu Rulan's family?"

After hearing this, Uncle Xu shook his head and said, "Ru Lan is a miserable girl. In the war five years ago, his husband was beaten to pieces and his legs were broken. Now he can't walk. Ru Lan still takes care of him carefully, but his husband's temper is getting worse and worse. In the past, they had a good relationship, but later they realized that his husband could not be a man and was useless."

Qian Xiaoxing then understood why Xu Rulan's eyes were so sad. She would be a widow in the future. It was really a waste of resources. She sighed and said, "Just hope that the affairs of her family will not affect her work."

When Uncle Xu heard this, he was not very satisfied with what Qian Xiaoxing said. Xu Rulan recommended it himself, so he waved his hand and said, "No, absolutely not." Even though he said that, Uncle Xu himself was not sure. He thought that he would go to Xu Rulan's house tonight and talked to her husband. Xu Rulan is now the factory director, and his monthly salary is five taels per month. If there is a conflict that affects his work, he will not blame him if he is fired.

"It's good if it doesn't happen." Qian Xiaoxing replied meaningfully.

The two of them moved to the oil pressing factory construction site. From a distance, they saw Xu Youyi limping his legs and moving things step by step. Uncle Xu smiled and said, "This is Youyi, he is just not willing to admit defeat. Although his legs and feet are inconvenient, he doesn't need everyone to take care of him. He still works the same as ordinary people."

Qian Xiaoxing nodded with satisfaction, and saw that the trench had been basically dug and the ground beam could be poured tomorrow. So he walked to the construction site and called Xu Youyi, and told him how to pour the ground beam to him carefully, and strive to pour all the ground one day tomorrow.

After hearing this, Xu Youyi replied firmly: "Don't worry, don't worry, when you hear it tomorrow night, you will pour it all."

"Well, that's good. You can leave these heavy work to others. I asked you to be the factory director to lead everyone to work, not yourself. As long as you coordinate and organize everyone's work, everyone will do much more work than you do alone." Qian Xiaoxing analyzed.

After hearing this, Xu Youyi secretly admired Qian Xiaoxing. He thought about working more and taking the lead, but he didn't expect this and nodded and replied, "What Mr. Qian said is, I know how to do it in the future."

Days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was half a month. In Songyue Garden, Qian Xiaoxing convened everyone to hold the second senior meeting of Qian's Group. Unlike the last time, Lu Shengzhong was added to attend the meeting.

Although Qian Xiaoxing often visited various factories and understood all the contents, the purpose of this meeting was to make a summary and make plans for future development.

Among the people in a row, Qian Xiaoxing spoke first: "We have just arrived in Yingwang Village for only a month. The village has undergone earth-shaking changes. I think everyone is like me, and they are very confident and looking forward to our future development. Although they have not yet obtained a penny and the expenses are nearly 1,000 taels, I believe that soon, we will earn ten taels, hundreds, one thousand taels, or even a thousand taels."

After hearing this, everyone was excited and shouted: "Be confident!"

Seeing that everyone was full of confidence and energy, Qian Xiaoxing was very excited about the team and continued: "As these days, everyone has done a good job with their work. I am very satisfied. Next, everyone will tell you about your work and raise any problems in time. Please help solve them. Uncle Xu, please tell me first."

After hearing this, Uncle Xu cleared his throat and said excitedly: "The flood that has been plaguing Yingwang Village has finally been solved. A river embankment has been built by our river. I dare to be very honored to be able to do this in my hands. I feel that life is more vigorous now. Although I am much busier than before, I am very satisfied and happy no matter how hard or tired I am."

After hearing this, Si Yingying said, "Uncle Xu, you are old, don't be too tired. If you have any questions, arrange for others to do more. This time, you will focus on the river dam and take care of the Qian Group's work every day. It's really hard."

Uncle Xu waved his hand and said, "Thank you Princess Yingying for your concern. I don't work hard, I feel happy. It was not so easy to do it well. Thanks to Mr. Qian, who was a bully and a wooden track, doubled his work efficiency. The biggest credit is Mr. Qian."

Everyone agreed. When Qian Xiaoxing heard everyone praise him, he became terrible and said, "These are all small things, small things, if you have time, you can make some big things for you to see."

Everyone listened to it. Could there be something even more powerful? Then the second sister-in-law began to report: "The mushrooms planted first are the same size as copper coins, and it is estimated that they will be harvested in another month. Now, in addition to the forest in front of the village, we have also cleared a forest in the south of the village. Although the terrain is not flat, it does not affect the planting of mushrooms. The trees cut down have been arranged, and we are waiting for the mushroom mother to plant and sow the seeds. At present, personnel are being arranged to surround the outer periphery with fences, and the one in front of the village has been surrounded."

"Okay," Qian Xiaoxing nodded with satisfaction, thinking about the next work, and said: "For mushroom harvesting, drying, then you will borrow the drying yard of the oil pressing plant. If the drying yard is tight, we will do it again."

After hearing this, Xu Youyi replied: "No problem. There are already many sunbathing sites, enough sunbathing, so I'll talk about my work here?"

After Qian Xiaoxing nodded and acquiesced, Xu Youyi said: "The oil press factory has been built. According to the concrete frame that Qian Dong said, it is made from two layers. At present, there are twelve oil presses. The highest oil yield process for oil pressing is also found. At present, three kilograms of tea seeds can be squeezed out one kilogram of oil. One oil press can now produce fifteen kilograms of oil a day, and more than twenty large and small drying yards have been built, all of which have been put into use. There is also the supply of raw materials. It has been stored and received more than 15,000 kilograms of tea seeds picked by villagers. However, the daily purchase amount is gradually decreasing. I estimate that all tea seeds collected by our village are only 20,000 kilograms. After the 20,000 kilograms of tea seeds are squeezed, I don't know what to do."

After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing said to Si Yingying: "Yingying, 20,000 kilograms of fresh tea seeds, after drying, the tea seeds are counted as 15,000 kilograms, and three kilograms of dried tea seeds are squeezed into one kilogram of oil, and one kilogram of oil is 200 quids of silver in total. How much is the total amount of silver? Calculate it."

Si Yingying took the abacus, and with a crackling sound, the result came out in a while, and replied: "One thousand taels."

"Okay, then do it. A press produces fifteen kilograms of oil a day, a total of twelve units. How many days does it take to squeeze 15,000 kilograms of dry tea seeds?" Qian Xiaoxing asked, thinking about Si Yingying.

"You are trying to take me on purpose, but don't think you can defeat me. I'll show you." Si Yingying did division this time, took out a quill pen and calculated it on the bamboo piece, and replied, "About twenty-eight days."

"Okay, good, you can earn 1,000 taels in a month. If the tea seeds are squeezed, we will go to other places to buy them. If the purchased ones are squeezed, we will squeeze other crops. Of course, we will choose the cheapest crops to make the most profits. So when everyone reports, I will discuss the construction and personnel arrangements of the marketing department with you." Qian Xiaoxing looked at everyone and saw Xu Rulan looking at him, so he called Xu Rulan to start reporting.

Xu Rulan was thinking about what kind of person Qian Xiaoxing was. When she heard the name, she was a little embarrassed and calmed down. She reported to Xinshenhui: "At present, the pearl farming pond has been dug and the pearl mussels have been stocked. Every day, we put fermented fertilizers as Qian Dong asked, and we also raised fish in the pond. However, all the river clams that can be found have been found, and there are only more than 1,000. This batch of them has been raised after raising them."

After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing thought about it and replied: "This is indeed a problem. Without river clams, you can't raise them. In this way, let's try whether river clams can be raised by themselves."

"How to raise it yourself?" Xu Rulan asked in confusion.

Qian Xiaoxing replied: "The small river clams are also hatched. We can produce small river clams by letting the male and female clams mate."

"River clams mate?" Xu Rulan had never heard of mates on the riverside and asked, "How to mates?"

"Well, I don't know this yet. I'll study how to match with you when I have time." Qian Xiaoxing replied.

"Okay!" Xu Rulan answered seriously.

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. Qian Xiaoxing looked at everyone in confusion, but didn't understand. He asked Si Yingying, "Why are you laughing? What did I say wrong?"

"Don't you know what you said? You said you should study mating with Rulan, but what did you say?" Si Yingying covered her mouth and smiled.

Xu Rulan realized after hearing this, and she had just replied yes, and was immediately embarrassed and buried her head low.

"I'm just studying mating, what's wrong, it's very pure." Qian Xiaoxing saw Xu Rulan's face flushed, hurriedly stopped everyone: "Okay, stop laughing."
