Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 759 - 389 Cousin Set up a Workshop_1

"I’m Xiao Fei here, Auntie I wanted to ask you, isn’t Huzi’s grandpa, my uncle’s dad, a skilled chef? Is he busy at home these days?" Yan Fei’s query seemed roundabout, mostly because he didn’t know how to address his cousin’s maternal grandfather.

"What would he be busy doing? My brother’s family doesn’t need much help at home. If someone calls his name, he’ll go out and work for the day, otherwise, other than his land of over two acres, he doesn’t have much else to do." Yang Caiflower, despite having little exposure, understood that Yan Fei wouldn’t ask about this for no reason, and her tone became a bit agitated.

"What about him coming to the ranch to cook? We might have quite a few people here, but we also have people who can help out, and the wages will certainly be paid. The more people, the merrier it gets. You can ask him if he’s willing or not. If he is, you can give me a message and I won’t look for anyone else."

"Sure, sure, sure, I’ll have Huzi go ask him." Yang Caiflower was very pleased. "Do you have anything else? The phone call costs a bundle, why didn’t you hang up just now and wait for me to call back? You wasted so much time...and the cost of the call..."

Yan Fei did think of something else: "Is my brother Huzi idle during his holidays? Let him come to the ranch to work! I ask him to come and eat here, and he never shows up. He’s too conceited. Have him come do some work and tire him out a bit, so he can earn some tuition for my Sister Lingling, who knows, he might actually want to repeat a year and take the high school entrance exams!"

Last year, Lin Lingling failed her high school entrance exam and applied to a technical secondary school. But these days, technical secondary schools attract students with rather varied academic abilities. The less fortunate schools are essentially vocational schools for diploma seekers, while the better ones have incredibly high admission cut-offs, even higher than the top high schools. Didn’t getting accepted into her ideal school, Lin Lingling decided to repeat a year. This year, she’s changed her mind and wants to go to high school. Her marks have come in, and after summer vacation, she’ll be going to the county’s First High School.

As for her cousin’s academic performance... He took the high school entrance exam this year and is quite the ’talent’. If you doubled his score, he’d just barely reach the cutoff for the town high school -- the school that’s ranked among the bottom three in the county. The bottom three are all about the same in terms of scores; the other two high schools are in towns and just a tad bit worse than the Sancha River high school.

In reality, if nothing unusual happens, Yan Fei’s cousin will probably just tend to the cattle and farm at home. The only reason he’s still at home waiting is because he still holds out a glimmer of hope, hoping that someone can find information about those low-level vocational schools that essentially pass out diplomas.

But with his marks, his thoughts are honestly quite naive...

Yang Caiflower is quite self-aware: "We’d be thanking our lucky stars if he were willing to repeat a year and at least attend a technical school someday. As for high school? When he comes back from his grandfather’s, he’ll go straight to the ranch even if he doesn’t want to. He’ll be fine at home, restless. Once he gets to the ranch, you can take good care of him. He’s tough and thick-skinned, he doesn’t get hurt easily, so don’t go easy on him."

"Technical school is also useless. From now on, they will no longer guarantee job placements," Yan Fei timely reported this good news to his aunt.

"Ah! Is that true or false?" This news indeed surprised his aunt.

"It’s true! Why would I lie to you?" Yan Fei answered confidently.

"Then what should we do? Won’t that mean all those years of school will have been for nothing?" The news clearly made a huge impact on this rural woman.

"Ha ha!" Yan Fei laughed. "You can just let him come first! As long as he’s willing to work, as long as my ranch doesn’t shut down, he doesn’t have to worry about his job. Ask him to go talk to his grandfather first, whether he likes it or not, he must come here. He needs some discipline, a bit of labor might reform him."

"If you say so...you’re a big boss now and you’re teasing your aunt like this!" Yang Caiflower complained. She seemed to have snapped back to reality, realizing that her nephew was just joking around with her!

Now this is the typical thinking of the farm folk, in her eyes, Yan Fei, being a boss now, definitely cannot ignore his cousin. The kinship is undeniable, if he doesn’t help family, who else would he help?

For Yan Fei, the fear of having trouble managing family members had long stopped being a problem. He already has enough workers, as long as relatives do not come in groups and start forming cliques, once they adapt, they naturally become no different from the staff at the ranch. Of course, those who should be contentious certainly are, but those are minor issues.

With the phone call finished, Yan Fei concluded one more trivial matter.

Lin Yumei usually keeps a record of the cattle being brought in and out of the ranch, this is not only a crucial task but also one that is exclusively suited for her — being a woman, her meticulousness certainly helps in keeping clear records. Moreover, after working for over a year, she has also accumulated plenty of experience. Furthermore, she is also in charge of the ’secret feed’, routinely mixing this feed into the distiller’s grains with Ma Chao, handing out the correct quantity when feeding the cattle, and so on.

Cooking is something that a chef can take care of, when a few women are free, they also come to the kitchen to help. Having a head chef to lead allows everything to fall into place. Lin Haihu’s grandfather is the chef who must be invited to cook for weddings or funerals in the village, so cooking for the people at the ranch is easy for him.

There are many trivial matters to deal with, every task, regardless of whether it’s important or insignificant, still must be done.

In the evening after dinner, Master Xing’s brother phoned, stating that he had found the contact for those manufacturing machines. Upon receiving the call, Yan Fei thanked him and arranged for Pang Fa to run the errand the following day.

Pang Fa was a bit insecure, after all, this isn’t the same as selling beef on the streets, there’s a chance he might have to directly communicate with the bosses of the manufacturing firms.

Yan Fei made a final decision: "You can take Master Xing with you, he knows all about those machines. He can take a look at the machines while you negotiate the price. I’ll give you the money later, you just need to push hard on the price. Even if we overspend a bit, there’s nothing wrong with that, we can’t not let them make some money, right? Even if we overspent, I won’t blame you, you just treat each 100 yuan as 1 yuan when negotiating the price, it’s as simple as selling beef..."

In the evening, Ma Yongming, who had arrived for dinner, also encouraged him: "You’re going to have to run this thing sooner or later. You don’t need to be polite with those factory bosses or anything, these days, those who have money are the boss, and if you have the money, you are the boss. In fact, those bosses might not even make as much as Xiao Fei, so what’s there to worry about?"

Ma Yongming didn’t just come for a free meal, Yan Fei also had something to ask of him: "As Brother Fa goes to purchase machinery, you should get ready to build the factory. We don’t need that much space, the remaining land oppposite the station is enough. Let’s discuss based on the location tomorrow; we can follow the layout of the Meat Processing Factory, but make it a bit smaller. "

It’s very simple, just a small refrigerator, two small factories. It’s more like a bigger handicraft workshop really.

Money won’t be a problem now. Not only does it not seem to be lacking but it is also going to continue to increase.

The fattened beef was initially calculated at the lowest yield of beef, but actually the supply volume is a lot higher than that number. The restaurants in Hong Kong and the provincial city have opened the markets, and current beef supplies are only too little never too much, they don’t care about that little extra. Additionally, Agaricus bisporus is being supplied continuously, in fact, the money they prepaid doesn’t even last a month and would be promptly replenished with more payment.

And everytime they sell ordinary beef, it yields tens of thousands of yuan, even though now in order to prevent the lack of beef in the future, they need to replenish a few as soon as a few are slaughtered, the money still continues to increase. The amount spent on building a small processing factory, in Yan Fei’s eyes, isn’t even worth a blink.

That’s the style of the rich.
