My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 332 - 35 Consultation_2

"Yes, Grandpa, you decide," Lin Xiaoguai said with a smile.

She wasn’t worried that the old man would drop the ball in this regard. After all, the operation of the farm and the production teams in the countryside were somewhat similar, and in this area, the old man’s experience definitely surpassed her own.

"Alright, Grandpa will keep a sharp eye on things," Shen Zhangming said, his motivation especially high upon realizing how important his role was.

It was rare to see the old man acting so childishly, and Luo Yufang smiled without raining on his parade.

"Operating the farm requires setting some rules. Do you have any ideas in mind?" Shen Chi asked Lin Xiaoguai.

"I’ve thought it through. The farm will be divided into four departments: livestock production, grain production, vegetable production, and fruit production, with a head appointed for each department. Then, employees will be assigned to these departments based on their strengths, each responsible for a certain range of tasks. Come year’s end, those who do well will receive a bonus, but of course, there will also be punishment for significant mistakes."

Lin Xiaoguai laid out her plans: "For example, among the employees who raise dairy cows, those who achieve the highest average annual yield will naturally receive a special bonus. Besides that, if an employee’s responsible area maintains outstanding hygiene, they too will earn a special bonus. Other criteria, such as attendance, personal demeanor, and so on, can also be standards for awarding bonuses."

She just needed to come up with an outline; the specifics could be left to the smart management system. Her one hundred million Gold Coins were not spent in vain.

"Wanwan, are you really going to raise dairy cows? I’ve never heard of anyone doing that," Luo Yufang said, somewhat surprised.

"Nowadays, there are quite a few families in the city who drink milk, and cake shops also need to buy cream," she remembered that whipped cream in the future required separation from fresh milk, but she wasn’t sure if today’s cake shops were already using whipped cream.

"No, I mean, can you find people who know how to raise them?" Luo Yufang clearly knew that there were many families involved with milk; many people in the courtyard had even subscribed to milk for their children. She wasn’t worried about being able to sell it but was concerned about properly raising the cows and avoiding their death.

Dairy cows were said to be even more expensive than water buffaloes.

"Don’t worry, Grandma, there are books specifically on how to raise dairy cows," Lin Xiaoguai said with a smile.

"That’s good, very good," Luo Yufang replied with a sigh of relief.

"Just setting up department heads for production isn’t enough. We also need to manage the warehouse, and we must consider human resources as well," Shen Chi said. freёnovelkiss.com

"I’ll take care of those two myself," Lin Xiaoguai said when she saw Shen Chi frown. "I just want to oversee things a bit, like shipment registration, which I’ll leave to the employees in charge of that. As for human resources, this farm I’m starting isn’t all that complex, and the staff will be simple to manage."

It wasn’t a matter of her being controlling; the warehouse was so critical she had no trusted person to entrust it to, and she worried that the HR position might become too detached, causing other employees to curry favor, which could corrupt the farm’s atmosphere.

Although she said this, Shen Chi decided he’d persuade her to change her mind if she couldn’t handle it all later on.

"Sister-in-law, do you have any specific regulations in mind? You should have a plan for what kind of livestock to raise and what kind of vegetables to plant to avoid chaos when the time comes," Cheng Jiahui also pitched in.

"Chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, sheep... all the common livestock need to be raised, in addition to a small number of dairy cows. While there is no strict restriction on the seasons for releasing fish fry, although autumn isn’t as good as spring, it wouldn’t have a big impact, so we can go ahead with the fish fry. But since I don’t understand much about fish farming, we need to find someone knowledgeable to decide exactly how many to release and what species of fish fry."

After talking about livestock, Lin Xiaoguai went on to discuss grains and produce: "It’s currently the time to sow wheat, so we need to hurry and get that done. As for fruit trees, we can plant them in the spring. For now, let’s put that aside. As for vegetables, we have plenty of land, so let’s plant everything we can in fall, we’re located near the military region, so we’re not worried about finding a market." With Shen Chi around, she wasn’t concerned at all that the military region might not want products from her farm.

"I know about fish farming," Luo Yufang surprisingly said. "My maternal family has been living off fish farming for several generations. I may not know everything, but I understand quite a bit."

"That would be great, Grandma. I’m truly relieved," Lin Xiaoguai exclaimed happily. She had been worrying about this aspect; in her space, she could release fish fry any way she wanted, and they would always do well. She had planned to find a book and study it thoroughly, but unexpectedly, there was an expert right beside her.

Luo Yufang smiled a little proudly, "You all go on and get the wheat sown, and buy the chicken and ducklings. I’ll stay home with the quadruplets for now. Once you’re done with that, I’ll come over and help you select the fish fry."

The farm’s affairs were almost fully discussed; what followed next was action.

Lin Xiaoguai had already prepared the vegetable seeds, handing them over to Shen Zhangming and Shen Mincheng to start on the seedbeds. This task was lighter work, but when it came time to thin the plants, it was not something just the two of them could handle.

The breeding grounds on the farm were built to a very high standard, as too many animals kept together could easily lead to epidemics; therefore, the sheds within the farm were not large but rather sectioned off, each capable of housing only a few animals.

"Sister-in-law, are you really going to raise them this way?" One day, Lin Xiaoguai took a tour outside and managed to transport the chicks she had purchased at the exchange shop back to the farm, and everyone questioned her plan.

Shen Xiu frowned and said, "If we do it the way you’re saying, with a chicken shed separated from the next, wouldn’t that be a huge waste? And isn’t breeding insects to feed the chickens disgusting?"

She grew up in the countryside and wasn’t as squeamish about chicken droppings and cow dung as city girls, but she couldn’t accept the idea of breeding insects to feed chickens. (To be continued.
