Chapter 267 The hope of the whole village
After Li Boxi finished speaking, he looked at everyone's reactions. Most people were excited when they ate chili peppers.
"Lin Ting, Bo Shi, tell us how to run the chili workshop. What do you need us to do?"
"Yes, our family will definitely follow you. As long as you ask, I will do my best."
Tian Wang took the lead in speaking, and Shen Zhuxiong also nodded. Anyway, he couldn't control what happened in Wushan Village, but he was sure that he would have meat to eat if he followed Lin Ting.
"Our family is also willing to build a workshop."
Many people were discussing in low voices, but most of them were willing.
Li Boxi raised his hands and asked everyone to be quiet.
"Everyone, listen to us first. We will definitely build this workshop. I have a plan prepared by Lin Ting in my hand. Let me read it to you."
Li Boxi read out the contents of the plan one by one. It required a lot of silver. Even if they had to do many things themselves, they would still need at least five hundred taels.
When they heard this number, everyone in Wushan Village fell silent. Even if all the assets of the villagers were added together, it would not be that much.
And several hundred taels is an astronomical figure for them.
"That's about it. You can go home and discuss it with your families tonight. Tomorrow, my father and I will visit each of your homes and ask questions. Anyone who is willing can join and become the owner of our workshop."
Li Boshi said it very clearly, and the villagers of Wushan Village also heard it clearly, but their family did not have much money to come up with.
"Bo Shi, if we really want to join, our family only has one or two taels of silver. Is that okay?"
Li Boshi looked at Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou. This promise would be more convincing if it came from Lin Ting.
"Lin Ting, go tell the villagers."
"it is good!"
Shen Qingzhou and Lin Ting stood in front of everyone, looking at the simple villagers in the village. Many of them had helped Lin Ting's family.
"I will answer all the questions in everyone's mind. This chili workshop will be built in our village under the leadership of the village chief.
No matter how much silver you have, whether it is one or two taels or a few dozen coins, as long as you invest in this stock, when dividends are distributed in the future, they will be divided according to the proportion of your investment.
But don't worry, everyone, you won't have enough money to build after you take it out. Everyone can contribute first, and I, Lin Tingquan, will make up for the difference later. I will definitely make our village prosperous."
After Lin heard this, the crowd below instantly became excited, and even Shen Zuxiong followed with a firm look in his eyes.
He will take out all the money in his house tonight and give it to the village chief tomorrow. He wants to invest, he wants to get rich, and he wants to eat and drink well.
Li Boxi continued to prepare the villagers psychologically. The next day, he and the village chief would go door to door to ask and raise funds.
But Lin Ting doesn't have to worry about this. In Wushan Village, no one wants the villagers to get better more than the village chief.
The next day!
Lin Ting sent Shen Qingzhou to the college, and she also went to work at Huayan.
But this day was a sensational day for the people of Wushan Village. On this day, all the men, women, young and old in the village gathered at home, waiting for the arrival of the village chief and Li Boxi.
It only took the village chief and his men one day to raise funds in the village. When Lin Ting came back in the evening, she looked at the silver and account book that Li Boxi placed in front of her.
She checked the accounts and found that there were a total of 160 taels of silver. This was almost the amount that the people of Wushan Village had to give up all the silver in their homes to get.
"Brother Li, your family paid 75 taels, and you and the village chief only get one share, right?"
Li Boshi had been working hard outside for many years and had some money on him, but the village chief also had some savings, which Lin Ting knew.
"Yes! My father's and I's share, so my family counts as one share."
"it is good!"
Lin Ting continued to read. Tian Wang's family contributed four taels, and Ahua's family contributed ten taels.
As for the people in the village, most of them have four or five taels, one or two taels, and some have a few hundred coins.
What surprised Lin Ting the most was Brother Shen Zu. He actually took out thirteen taels of silver. Do they have so much silver?
Seeing Lin Ting staring at Shen Zuxiong's name, Li Boxi explained.
"Brother Shen Zhu originally only had six taels of silver. Later, he went to Wenzhu County and sold his wife's silver lock. He also borrowed from his father-in-law to get this much silver."
Lin understood. Brother Shen Zhu was going to give it a try this time. It seemed that her second uncle trusted her so much that he even took out all his family assets.
"I see. This workshop will cost about five hundred taels. I told you I'll pay the rest. You and the village chief can pick a date to start work."
"Okay, my dad and I will definitely satisfy you."
Li Boxi looked excited and full of energy. They were getting closer and closer to success.
Lin Ting also made up the remaining 340 taels, and with that she became the largest shareholder of the workshop in Wushan Village, followed by Li Boxi.
She and Li Boxi first calculated each person's share based on this amount, and the dividends would be divided according to this proportion in the future.
After finishing all this, the village chief went to the county government to apply for land rights, and the villagers finished their busy farming days.
The whole village worked together to make tiles from mud. Strong men built the foundation and transported bricks. Everyone worked together to build and cook.
Lin Ting had planned the layout of the blue brick and tile house and the workshop, and everyone followed her drawing and there was no mistake at all.
Finally, I built a stove, bought iron pots, jars, large vats, kitchen knives, and all the things I could use. I made what I could make myself, and bought what I couldn’t.
After two months, the workshop was finally built. The village chief chose a good day and started a fire on one of the stoves inside.
It means that the business will be booming, and here they are also going to officially operate.
On this day, the whole village stood in front of the workshop and watched it open for business. This workshop, built on six acres of land, was the hope of their entire village.
"Please! Grandpa, let's start the sacrifice!"
The village chief shouted, and the old man, as the oldest person in Wushan Village and the only one who knew about sacrifices, was the first to step forward, burning paper, lighting incense, pouring wine, and reciting some words that Lin Ting could not understand.
Finally, the ceremony was over and the village chief invited Lin Ting to speak, which was actually an announcement of the opening, because in June, the green peppers and red peppers were ripe.
"Everyone, be quiet. Today is a big day for us in Wushan Village. Now, we would like to invite the biggest owner of our workshop, Lin Ting, to come and say a few words to everyone and tell everyone the full name of our workshop. Lin Ting, please come in!"
The people of Wushan Village shouted: "Lin Ting! Lin Ting! Lin Ting..."
Lin Ting was flattered. She walked to the platform with a smile on her face. She even wore a red dress today to bring a good omen to everyone.
"I am grateful to Wushan Village for their trust in me, and I am grateful to the village chief and Brother Li for their hard work over the past few months. I am also grateful to everyone for their silent efforts, which have enabled us to have our own workshop."
