Chapter 601: Chapter 266: Who Should Be Busy_1

It wasn’t until he realized nothing was stirring in the kitchen for quite a while that Ma Yongming reacted. Laying there, isn’t it a little inappropriate?

Once the dumplings are ready, he also intends to eat some, but he isn’t even offering to help make a few. Is that a bit unseemly? Yes, Boss Ma has no plans to go back home for lunch. Today, he’s prepared to hang out with these two — specifically, he’s ready to hunker down with Yan Fei.

At this point, he made up his mind to see if this damn kid really doesn’t care about this contract and is coolly making dumplings at home, not even thinking about preparing for anything at the cattle farm.

A contract worth one hundred and fifty million!

Just like he said last night, a small cattle farm suddenly handling such a big contract — it’s not good to advertise it too much for fear of attracting unwanted attention. Since he couldn’t talk about it openly, all he could do was swallow it. But it’s so hard to have such a significant thing going on without engaging in discussion with someone!

Such a huge deal, not only in Sancha River village in Tanghe County, but even if it got out, it would likely shock the city. Being unable to brag about it, the discomfort it brings, it makes him scratch inside as if he was smoking without fire!

Originally, he had hoped to see the two of them talking for a while, but their appearances, so indifferent, were infuriating!

When he finally walked over and saw them making dumplings from the doorway, he immediately felt as if he shouldn’t have come.

One was rolling the dumpling wrappers, kneading the dough with one hand and rolling with the other, so fast that he left an afterimage. The other, the dumpling-making girl, her two hands fluttering like a butterfly, blink, and a dumpling was ready.

He had only zoned out for a moment, the girl raised her head and saw him, smiling, "Uncle Ming, you’re awake. The dumplings will be ready soon, you wait a bit longer, okay?"

Watching as the girl skillfully pinched a dough leaf, and that damn kid, as if in competition with her, made the last few dumplings. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of heat on his face — at least, he didn’t come over earlier. Otherwise, compared to these two, he would look clumsily clumsy, which is even more embarrassing!

You two, it’s fine if you can make money, but even your dumpling-making skills are this efficient, are you leaving any leeway for others to live?

At noon, the workers were eating egg noodle soup, and the noodles were rolled out by Yan Fei himself. On this side, Boss Ma and the two of them were eating dumplings when he finally couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, "You two just signed such a big contract, aren’t you in a hurry to get ready? What if you can’t supply enough beef in the future?"

Yan Fei and the girl, between foraging for wild vegetables and making dumplings, had spent the morning in amiable enjoyment. At this moment, they didn’t bother to get into an argument with him, and casually answered from the side, "How could we not supply enough? When their money comes through, we’ll just buy cattle..."

"Uh..." Boss Ma suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

Actually, it seems to be the case!

Just wait for the money to arrive and buy cattle. Why was he so unnecessarily anxious?

After serving as a general contractor for several years, he was even less composed than these two young people. It was so embarrassing!

While he was in a funk, he heard Yan Fei say, "By the way, Uncle Ming, are you planning to hire more people for your construction team? Now that there’s money, I’m planning to renovate the cattle farm."

"What do you want to do with the renovation? Is it for the contract? If you want to hire people, there are plenty out there, I can find workers at any time." Ma Yongming perked up immediately not because work was available soon, but because the young man had finally started talking, showing that he had, indeed, given thought to matters!

"Just as we mentioned before, build cattle sheds and troughs on the eastern side, the same as the current ones, and extend the water faucet over there too. Also, I want to convert the cattle farm into concrete flooring. It’s a sizable area, so it’ll probably take a few days. You see what fits best?" Yan Fei told him the plan without knowing what he was thinking. "As for building the structure, we can do it once the sheds here are done. After all, the construction over there will also take a few days."

"There’s no need to make all of it concrete. Other than inside the cowshed and the pathways in the middle, why would you want to turn such a vast open field into concrete? Save some space to plant some plants and trees, which will help cool down the heat in summer." Ma Yongming, being experienced, said. "When summer comes and the sun hits it, if the whole yard is concrete, the sole of your feet would burn walking on it. I think it’s better to plant trees in the saved space. It’s a lot cooler under the shade rather than under the sun in summer."

"Okay, you can decide since you have the experience! Don’t worry about the trees for now, just save some space. I’ll figure out a way to get some trees later." Yan Fei casually said.

"When are you planning to start?" Ma Yongming asked right after hearing this.

"Anytime is fine. They already called to say they’re sending the money, so it should arrive in a few days. We don’t need to buy too many cattle in the initial stage, just calculate the days and buy a few each day will suffice to prevent having to feed them for an extended period."

"You don’t have a phone. When did they call to say they’re transferring the money?" Ma Yongming grumbled as he looked at Yan Fei’s composed demeanor.

"They called home to transfer the money... You don’t need to worry about this. Go on and get to work!" Yan Fei wasn’t going to tell him that after those people left last night, he followed them after the girl fell asleep and listened to their conversation — after all, he wasn’t exactly at ease relying on just the contract.

"Whatever you say, as long as they pay, everything’s fine. I’m going back to my hometown this afternoon to get more people to start working. Do you have any other instructions?" Not wanting to make a fool of himself anymore, Ma Yongming asked straightforwardly.

"Nothing much, you have more experience in this than me, you just take care of it. Oh, yes, at the far eastern corner where it borders the road, leave a space for a shed. It doesn’t need to be a cattle shed, it’s for slaughtering, just remember to install a water faucet there. You can handle the rest as you see fit."

"Alright!"

"If we have more manpower, I’ll also find more people to prepare the earth, I plan to add two more worm sheds, the previous two probably won’t be enough, now that we have money, we might as well build more. Five in total should be about right..." Yan Fei continued to arrange.

"No problem, it’s easier to find people to build sheds, in fact, if it wasn’t too cold here in winter, we could directly build a large shed." Ma Yongming agreed and sighed.

"Also, on the river side, isn’t there some space close to the river? Usually, the large area used to dry cow dung there, except for those trees, maybe we should also pave it with cement! It’s not suitable to dry directly on the ground for a long time..."

"That’s all fine, paving the ground is very easy, anything else..."

"Nothing more, remember we talked about building a fermentation feed place, just build it by the south side."

"Don’t worry, I remember it all! I’ll first go tell them to make contact for labor, make a rough blueprint, and start working once people are here in a couple of days."

"Okay, you go ahead..."

"Alright!" Ma Yongming put down the bowl. "I’m going now, if you have anything else, just let me know later, it’s not a task we can finish in a day..."

"Uh-huh..."

She just remembered as he was about to leave! Miss Xu Xiaoyan said: "Uncle Ming, there are radishes in the back, wait, I’ll find a bag for you..."

Riding the motorcycle back home swiftly, he dropped off the radish, and grumbled a few complaints to his mother: "You also ask for radishes?"

"This is delicious." Ma Yongming commented happily. "I still have to hurry back to my hometown to find more people, Yan Fei’s place is busy and short-handed..."

Just about to leave on the motorcycle, Old Ma said: "So Yan Fei is planning to keep expanding! Once everything is built, you could raise hundreds of cattle there, he would be a real big boss then!"

Ma Yongming nodded: "Yes!"

He then thought about the 1.5 million, in less than a year or two, he would be one of the top bosses in the entire county. There are not many factories in the county that can make more than ten million a year! Even counting those state-owned factories, there probably are not many that can match Yan Fei—though, there actually aren’t many factories in the county to begin with.

As he rode his motorcycle towards the village, he slowed down as he approached...

Why did something seem off again?

Right, he was supposed to see Yan Fei’s reaction today, but ended up getting excited and stone-walled for an entire morning, then came back with a ton of work.

Turns out, the preparations were all for him!

Thinking of this made him furious!

That kid must have already decided what to do—although this was a misunderstanding, Yan Fei had been occupied with his girlfriend all day long. He was so worried that his girlfriend lost a little weight that he couldn’t focus on anything else.

Ma Yongming, on the other hand, assumed that Yan Fei purposely didn’t say anything in the morning, that he deliberately watched him sleep without saying a word, deliberately stringing him along, only to finally dump a ton of work on him!

Once the construction is finished, all Yan Fei needs to do is arrange for someone to buy a few cows every once in a while. He doesn’t even need to manage feeding the cows, the people on the farm do that. Unlike him, who has to monitor multiple construction sites, exhausting himself daily, riding his motorcycle back and forth to the point of almost getting chill leg pain!

He initially thought Yan Fei would be busy, but now Boss Ma realized that the only people who would be busy are people like him. Whereas others could make big money without having to do anything, they just needed to direct others to work...

Turns out the more money one makes, the less one has to work. It is only people like him, doing hard labor while others make big money, who become busier and busier!

Thinking about this made him angry!

But he still has to do it, who asked him not to have the ability to make big businessmen come to him! Now, even if a large project was delivered to his door, his construction team wouldn’t be able to handle it!

For the future, to avoid being so busy, he must work hard. In the future, he could split his team into a few smaller squads, select good workers to lead the groups for him, then he could also make big money just by lying around...
