Returning to my hometown to inherit three mountains: Don't stop me from raising pigs

Chapter 250 What’s going on?

Early the next morning, Gu Chang, Gu Guoqing and Qi Tianming, this time with Wang Jinglun, had breakfast early and drove to Zhumao Village again.

When we arrived at the village committee compound of Zhumao Village, we found that a long queue had already formed.

Yuan Zhongli has already started weighing the bamboo shoots and recording the weight of each person, and is waiting for Gu Chang to collect their wages.

As soon as Gu Chang and his group's car arrived, the crowd immediately erupted in cheers of welcome.

The God of Wealth is here again today. How can the villagers not welcome him?

As soon as he got off the car, Gu Chang looked at the villagers and said with a smile, "You guys are here pretty early!"

"It's getting late, the sun is already high in the sky!"

"Yes, I went to dig bamboo shoots for an hour before I came back!"

“I also dug for more than an hour.”

"..."

The villagers were talking at once, leaving Gu Chang confused.

These villagers dug for half a day yesterday. Aren’t they tired? They got up early this morning to dig again!

What Gu Chang didn’t know was that they didn’t just get up this morning to dig!

Many of these villagers continued digging in the dark for several hours after dinner yesterday!

After going back to sleep, I woke up early and came back to dig!

So, today, when Yuan Zhongli was weighing bamboo shoots, he was shocked to find that the number of bamboo shoots sent by the villagers was outrageous!

Some villagers who were not able to deliver their food yesterday, had at least 6.700 to kilograms when they delivered their food today!

The most exaggerated one was a family of five, who donated more than 800 kilograms of bamboo shoots!

Yuan Zhongli repeatedly weighed the villagers' bamboo shoots many times.

He was afraid that he would accidentally weigh the wrong amount and cause Gu Chang to lose money, and he would think that the people in his village were colluding with each other to cheat him, a person from another village.

Although we in Zhumao Village are poor, we still have dignity and we cannot lose our ambition.

"How is it, Village Chief Yuan? How many kilograms have you harvested now?" asked Gu Guoqing.

"It's probably more than 2 kilograms." Yuan Zhongli made a rough estimate and said.

"How much?" Gu Guoqing said.

"More than 2 kilograms!" Yuan Zhongli repeated.

"Oh my God, so many?" Qi Tianming was also confused!

Where did this group of villagers get so many bamboo shoots?

Gu Chang also looked confused!

That shouldn’t be the case. Logically speaking, there can’t be so many bamboo shoots.

Yesterday afternoon, although there were still some villagers' bamboo shoots that had not been weighed and purchased, Gu Chang took a look and found that there were not many households left.

"Ahem, maybe some villagers went to work for a while at night. Then they got up early in the morning and worked for a while again." Yuan Zhongli could only say euphemistically.

He had dinner last night and dug with his wife until 11 o'clock in the evening!

Other villagers were even more ruthless and dug until late at night!

Gu Chang did not investigate further. He called Wang Jinglun over, gave him some instructions, gave him all the money, and asked him to pay the villagers who had weighed the bamboo shoots.

Wang Jinglun immediately took the bag of money happily and went to distribute the money to the villagers who were eagerly waiting.

Wang Jinglun murmured to himself: "This is a good job, I get paid, I am happy, and others are even happier..."

Ignoring him, Gu Chang turned around and asked Yuan Zhongli.

"Village Chief Yuan, do you know the situation of Yaling Village east of Zhumao Village?"

Gu Chang still had some hope regarding the matter of Yaling Village.

"There are not many families left in Yaling Village. It seems that there are only three families left, with only a dozen people in total, and they are still living there." Yuan Zhongli replied.

"The government has sent people to persuade them many times to move out and live in a better place."

"But these people are so stubborn that they refuse to leave and are willing to stay in that shabby place called Yaling Village."

"What's wrong? Why are you asking this?" Yuan Zhongli asked curiously.

"I ate it once with my father. There is a delicacy called stone ear in Yaling Village. It tastes delicious and leaves a lingering fragrance. I will never forget it."

"I originally planned to develop their stone ears and sell them to other places. I can have an extra product and also increase their income. It's a win-win situation." Gu Chang explained.

"Besides, you don't know that the price of this stone ear is very expensive, and it can bring them a lot of income!"

"This is a good thing." Yuan Zhongli said.

"But yesterday, when we went to Yaling Village and mentioned Shi'er, the villagers' faces changed drastically and they immediately drove us out," said Gu Guoqing.

"Ah? What's going on?" Yuan Zhongli was stunned.
