"Pfft, I may not hold a high position, but I still manage several people, don't I? You, Big Mouth, don't have that power. You can only take care of the products in your supermarket..." Xia Sanwa said proudly.

"Alright, don't show off," Zheng Dazui said dismissively, his gaze falling on Xia Sanwa's suit. He asked curiously, "It's boiling hot out, why are you wearing a full suit? Aren't you hot?"

Far from feeling hot, Xia Sanwa straightened his suit and boasted, "How about that, Big Mouth? Impressive, eh?"

This time, Zheng Dazui didn't put Xia Sanwa down but seriously commented, "You're missing a tie..."

"Good eye! I came here tonight to buy a tie. Do you sell them here?" Xia Sanwa asked.

"Yes, of course, we have them in all sorts of colors. I'll go get one for you..." The variety of goods sold at Big Mouth Supermarket was quite comprehensive, including not only daily necessities, groceries, but also clothes, ties, shoes, and the like.

Zheng Dazui took out all the ties from the supermarket for Xia Sanwa to choose from. Having never bought a tie in his life, Xia Sanwa ended up purchasing a red one. However, when he got home, he didn't know how to tie it. After struggling for most of the night, he managed to knot the tie, but it was tied like a red scarf, not in the proper way for a tie.

Nevertheless, it was secured and looked decent enough. Xia Sanwa was very pleased, admiring himself in the mirror for a long time. Afraid that he wouldn't be able to tie it again, he refused to take it off and slept in it.

The next morning, his sweat had soaked through his clothes, but Xia Sanwa didn't care. After washing his hair, he found some leftover hair gel his daughter had used before, applied some to his hair, and combed it into a gleaming slicked-back style. Then, after hastily eating a packet of instant noodles, he left the house with his hands clasped behind his back.

With his head held high and chest puffed out, he walked with swagger, stepping in an exaggerated stride along the village road towards the orchard.

Xia Sanwa's strange outfit and behavior immediately caught the attention of the villagers. They sized him up with curious glances and smiles, greeting him and purposely asking, "Sanwa, what are you off to do?"

Like a leader, Xia Sanwa nodded slightly in response, "Hello, I'm off to work!"

"Morning, Fourth Master, I'm off to work!"

"Ergou, still eating, huh... I'm off to work. Yeah, I'm the foreman now, right, the orchard foreman."

For those who greeted him, Xia Sanwa would also take the initiative to greet back, unusually indicating his current identity and work.

...

The vegetable greenhouse, under Zhu Erpeng and the efforts of a group of workers, was quickly completed. A twenty-acre mature greenhouse, plus a half-acre glasshouse with complete lighting, drainage, and ventilation equipment, was ready. It could house out-of-season vegetables and various other rarities.

Next, it was time to consider what vegetables to plant. Early July in the local area was past the planting season for summer vegetables, but planting now could still be successful, it would just be later than others.

The cultivation of fruits and vegetables should aim for an early start—early planting is better than late—because the first crop harvested is the most expensive due to its scarcity, and then the price drops as more produce comes to market in bulk.

However, Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't too concerned about this. He was chasing quality over speed, especially with such fruits and vegetables where quality is most important.

Vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, and green peppers are common and their varieties too numerous and complex to manage well. Wang Xiaoqiang didn't consider out-of-season vegetables and planned to plant just these four types. Zhu Erpeng suggested intercropping with watermelons and Little White Melons to increase profits.

Wang Xiaoqiang thought it was feasible.

Seeing that the boss had spoken, Zhu Erpeng estimated the number of seeds required based on the space of the greenhouse, calculated the amount, and reported it to Wang Xiaoqiang.

After getting the data, Wang Xiaoqiang drove his Hummer to the county town's agricultural technology station to buy vegetable and fruit seeds.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't ask Zhu Erpeng to accompany him to purchase seeds for two reasons, the first was he felt it unnecessary, and second, he still wanted to imbue the seeds with "Spiritual Energy." Of course, he also considered future issues such as the maturation time of the fruits and vegetables and their quality.

It was conceivable that seeds nourished with Spiritual Energy would definitely have a higher survival rate, sprout faster, and be disease-free with shorter flowering periods, more fruiting, and larger produce. All these would attract the workers' attention and raise their suspicions.

When they asked about it, Wang Xiaoqiang could make up some stories about the seeds, such as claiming they were high-tech seeds obtained through connections from the Agricultural Academy and were naturally better than ordinary seeds.

Before leaving, Wang Xiaoqiang went to the chicken farm, loaded a box of wild mountain eggs into his Hummer, and then headed straight to the county town, going directly to the County Committee Family Courtyard.

Now that the vegetable base was completed and the orchard was established, everything would soon be on the right track. The office building was about to be completed. Such a large-scale industry was too eye-catching; without a proper business license, it was bound to invite scrutiny. Wang Xiaoqiang thought it was time to set up a company.

Since he didn't understand this aspect, his visit today was mainly to seek advice from Old Tang, and of course, he hoped that Old Tang could help.

At the gate, Wang Xiaoqiang called Tang Mingyuan, who came down with his daughter Tang Xiaofei to greet him.

The arrival of Wang Xiaoqiang quite surprised and delighted the father and daughter. After Wang Xiaoqiang had discreetly treated Tang Mingyuan with Spiritual Energy, Tang Mingyuan's health had significantly improved; he was more robust, had more energy, and his heart condition had improved. He no longer experienced shortness of breath or rapid heartbeat when climbing stairs.

At this rate, he could live another thirty years without any problems. Naturally, the family hoped that Wang Xiaoqiang would visit often.

However, they felt uneasy because every time Wang Xiaoqiang visited, he brought something, even if it wasn't anything expensive. Yet, because it was from Wang Xiaoqiang, they felt undeserving.

But since Wang Xiaoqiang had brought it, they wouldn't refuse, and eventually, they accepted it,

Old Tang instructed his daughter to go buy groceries, planning to have Wang Xiaoqiang stay for lunch. That's when the old man remembered that Wang Xiaoqiang had a "cousin" named Jiang Xiaoxin studying at the county's key high school and decided to have his daughter bring her over for lunch as well.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't object; he thought, considering Jiang Xiaoxin was studying alone in the county town and only returned home once a month, she'd inevitably feel lonely. Inviting her out for a meal was the right thing to do.

However, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't trouble Tang Xiaofei and instead drove his Hummer to the county key high school himself.

When his Hummer parked at the school gate, it coincided with the school's dismissal. A large group of students came pouring out of the campus, and Wang Xiaoqiang's Hummer immediately caught the attention of many students.

In this county-level city, although Hummers were seen, they were not common.

They could be considered a rarity!

Moreover, driving a Hummer to the school gates at dismissal time was bound to draw attention. Everyone wanted to see who was the parent of which student?
