Chapter Forty-Five

Long Xiaoshan's melons and vegetables were a huge success, earning him two million yuan, and Lily Hotel injected another three million yuan as an advance investment.

This gave him over five million yuan in working capital.

Long Xiaoshan was now halfway to being a millionaire.

In Xiaoshan Village, that was quite an accomplishment; with over five million yuan, there was so much he could do.

He decisively hired another construction team from the town.

They sped up the excavation of the fishponds and built several temporary houses on the side of the farm that served as a mess hall and provided living quarters for the night watchmen on the farm, since it was unreasonable for them to live permanently in wooden sheds.

With the addition of the construction team,

the excavation proceeded even faster.

The fishponds were quickly completed.

Long Xiaoshan reached out to Su Wan to buy fry and shrimp seedlings in the city. Although they could catch small shrimp in the mountain streams, it was not enough for large-scale farming, and the purchased shrimp seedlings came in more varieties and were more expensive.

It was the same with the fry; he bought carp from the Yellow River and bass from the Songjiang River.

These were among Huaxia's four famous freshwater fish. If the Yangtze River's reeves shad and Tai Lake's silver fish fry were available in the market, Long Xiaoshan would have bought them all.

With the Spiritual Liquid, he was not afraid they wouldn't survive.

Now, the most pressing issue was the insufficient Spiritual Liquid. The county hospital had referred patients to him, and Long Xiaoshan visited every few days to perform acupuncture on a tumor patient. Thanks to the Dean's endorsement and the patient's desperation, they hadn't expected much, yet the results were astonishingly good—the tumor had actually shrunk.

It was important to note that this was not just any tumor, but cancer.

And it was in the late stage.

Long Xiaoshan had managed to control even late-stage cancer and reduce the tumor size, leaving the Dean amazed to the point of deeming him a Heavenly Being, and the patient was so grateful that they paid a hundred thousand yuan for the treatment, and that was just for one session.

Long Xiaoshan unceremoniously accepted the hundred thousand yuan.

After all, he was saving someone's life.

Ten thousand yuan for a life was definitely not too much.

Long Xiaoshan's words had an implied meaning.

Zhang Widow eagerly said, "Little Xiaoshan, thank you. I'll change my clothes and come to work."

"Alright. Later on, just go to that room to register, and you can start," Long Xiaoshan said.

Zhang Widow left with profuse thanks.

A month had passed, and the farm already looked impressive.

The barren hills of Xishan were now a lush green expanse, brimming with fruits and vegetables, and the fruit trees had grown over a person's height, their emerald green leaves now blooming with flowers.

There were three large fish ponds.

One was stocked with green shrimp and prawns, another with Yellow River carps, and another with bass.

By the fish ponds near the foot of the mountain, a breeding facility was under construction, intended for livestock and poultry.

A large sign stood at the edge of the farm, with ambitious plans that ignited people's passions.

Where some rejoice, others turn green with envy.

Long Fakui was furious.

Long Xiaoshan, that brat, had actually managed to cultivate fruits and vegetables on such barren land.

It was utterly against common sense.

Furthermore, Long Xiaoshan's farm provided not just daily wages, but also a lavish lunch—a meat and cabbage-filled pancake, chive dumplings, pickled cabbage and pork buns, varying every week, always hearty and filling.

Simply for that meal every day, the farmworkers felt like they were celebrating a holiday.

Many people said they would work at the farm just for that meal, even without pay.

Moreover, many villagers had quit Long Fakui's sawmill to work at Long Xiaoshan's farm.

Although some were forced, having been told they would forfeit their back wages if they left, the sign of change was already evident.

The women in the village no longer let themselves be manipulated as before. Just the other day, when he had gone to Zhang Widow looking to relieve some stress, he was met with a shut door. And ever since Zhang Widow quit her job to go to the farm, even his threats were useless.

Long Fakui directed all his resentment at Long Xiaoshan.

If things continued like this, that darned kid would be climbing over his head. He had to think of a way to sabotage the farm.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
