In late February, Baiyun Village.

During this week, the whole village is busy, and it can be said that the men, women and children in the village are not idle.

Able-bodied men have joined the construction team, and the construction of houses is in full swing, and now the population of the village has skyrocketed, and the speed of building houses has greatly accelerated.

Today's Baiyun Village has a total of 126 households, which is definitely a relatively prosperous village among the surrounding villages.

There are an average of 10 people in each family, and the lowest in the village is more than 1,200 people, and if you add the 400 or so labor prisoners who have been subdued, the total number of people in Baiyun Village is almost 2,000 now.

At least half of the men between the ages of 16 and 40 were young and middle-aged, and Song Shaoqin mobilized 200 prisoners to dig coal in the mountains, and the rest of the strength was allocated to the infrastructure in the village.

Therefore, the speed of this infrastructure construction is not fast.

More than 1,000 people started construction at the same time, and several bungalows were built in almost a few days, and the progress that had fallen before was now not only successfully completed, but even exceeded the previous estimate.

Now, depending on the number of households, each registered household already owns their own new house, but the work of the construction team has not stopped, and the construction of the house is still non-stop.

However, the buildings that have been built today are no longer just bungalows, but have basic places such as schools, textile workshops, food processing workshops, health centers, and kiosks.

At the same time, the engineering department also divided a team to start building a cement road in the village, so that there is no need to worry about potholes on the ground on rainy days, and it is also convenient for daily walking.

In short, today's Baiyun Village has fully started infrastructure construction work.

Some of the women in the village are learning to weave, some are cooking in the canteen, the younger girls are in class every day, and the older girls and their daughters-in-law are learning to embroider.

Even the old people in the family are not idle, the old lady is responsible for growing and taking care of the mushrooms, and the old men are also taking care of their own vegetable patches, and some small vegetables can still be planted at this time.

Therefore, if you walk in the village during this time, you can see the busy figures of the villagers.

And today is the day when the first batch of artificially cultivated mushrooms are harvested!

Early in the morning, the village is lively, and every household carefully picks the mushrooms and puts them in clean bamboo baskets.

Subsequently, everyone happily carried bamboo baskets to the compound of the village committee.

"How? How many mushrooms do you have in your house? ”

"It's not bad, the two kinds of mushrooms add up to more than three catties."

"Yo, your mushrooms are really good."

"Hahaha~ My mother waits more carefully."

Everyone stood in the compound and began to inquire into each other, all wanting to see how the mushroom harvest of other families was.

"Okay, let's take a good team and come one by one."

Village Chief Li held a small horn and shouted while directing the team.

At this time, in the center of the compound, there were five tables placed side by side, and at the same time, there were five staff members responsible for checking the mushrooms for everyone, and the villagers were divided into five teams in an orderly manner.

Even though the queue was long, everyone was smiling and patiently waiting in line.

"Li Dashuang, qualified, two and a half pounds."

"Zhang Laolian, qualified, three catties."

"Zhao Dafu, qualified, four catties."

"Cheng Changfu, qualified, five catties."

"Liu is honest, qualified, two catties."

Singing and reporting echoed in the compound, and every mushroom that passed the inspection would sign the registration form or press a handprint after receiving the mushroom.

In order to encourage and mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, Xia Ning adopted the method of on-site settlement, directly handing over the money and delivering the goods on the spot.

Therefore, when the villagers received a large handful of copper coins, the smiles on their faces were even brighter.

At this moment, the feeling of holding the money in your hand was simply very comfortable, and all the worries and assumptions in everyone's hearts before that disappeared.

It's still the cooperation method proposed by Miss Xia!

It's so convenient.

The mushrooms at home can be exchanged for money immediately, and there are no worries or worries, how good is this.

Before, everyone heard Miss Xia say that mushrooms can be bought for 30 yuan, but if they are handed over to her for sale, they will have to deduct 5 yuan per catty, and everyone is still a little distressed, after all, one pound is 5 yuan, and then five catties will cost 25 yuan.

This amount of money is not a small amount for the countrymen.

At first, everyone was still secretly muttering in their hearts, if they took it to the town and sold it themselves, wouldn't they be able to earn an extra five cents per catty?

It can be seen that everyone else chose to cooperate with Miss Xia, even if they were a little cautious in their hearts, they didn't dare to say anything.

But now, the villagers, who were still eager to try their hand at buying mushrooms, instantly dispelled all their thoughts and thoughts.

Because they found that this way of getting money immediately was too comfortable, and if they really let them sell it themselves, they might not be able to sell it for thirty yuan.

Therefore, these countrymen still farm honestly and obey the arrangements and commands of the village committee.

After all, the twenty-five dollars were originally earned extra.

In one morning, the Ministry of Agriculture received a total of more than 250 catties of mushrooms, which directly filled the entire body.

In the afternoon, Xia Ning led people to Pingsha Town with the mushrooms that the villagers had carefully raised.

Of course, it was still the previous way of operation, Bai Qi and Huzi stayed outside the town to wait, while Xia Ning took Jing Ze into the town with the relationship of sister and brother.

This time, Xia Ning didn't bring her ingenuity, because the car was full of goods and couldn't seat so many people, so she left her in the village to do other work.

As soon as she entered the town, Xia Ning immediately felt that the atmosphere was not very good, and the whole street exuded a lifeless feeling, and there was an inexplicable sense of decay that the vitality was fading little by little.

"Ozawa, do you feel like the whole town feels a little different?"

"Well, it's more depressed than last time." Song Jingze nodded secretly, and subconsciously touched the saber hidden in his waist.

Xia Ning said in a low voice, "Let's be careful." ”

The two of them walked quickly through the main street of the town, and found that there were more and more closed shops on both sides, and there were few people on the whole street, and even the residential courtyards in the alleys were closed.

The town, which was not very prosperous and lively, is now even more deserted and lonely, if it weren't for the fact that a few figures could be seen from time to time, Xia Ning would have thought that they had entered a ghost town.

It's scary to be empty!
