Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Chapter 137: 1000 Yuan Design Fee

Sun Lanlan’s father was the head of the production brigade in the village, and after the household responsibility system was implemented, he became the village chief, commanding immense prestige in the village.

The Sun Brothers were numerous, yet they weren’t the sort to throw their weight around; instead, they were well-liked in the village.

Such people were suitable not only for finding help but also for keeping things in order.

"Make sure to discuss with your oldest and second brothers to plan out next year’s farm work well. Raising chickens will more or less affect the fieldwork, so try to plant something simpler. As for wages, I will talk to them in person. It’s just that with the current cold weather, we’ll have to wait until spring next year to bring in the first batch of chicks."

"I understand, my oldest and second brothers know all this."

Since everything was settled, Lin Chuxia asked Sun Bingnan to go back to the village to sign the contract.

Originally, renting mountains and land in the village did not require a lease contract, but just to be safe, Lin Chuxia still drafted one which at least specified the rent, lease term, and their absolute right of first refusal upon lease expiration.

The contract was handwritten in two copies. After finishing the contract, Lin Chuxia handed 1,000 yuan to Sun Bingnan.

This 1,000 yuan was what she had received yesterday.

The mechanical factory had ultimately approved the design proposal she submitted.

This time, in addition to providing her with two finished vacuum-sealed packaging machines as a reward, they also gave her 1,000 yuan as a design fee.

They hoped that if Lin Chuxia had more designs in the future, she would prioritize working with their mechanical factory.

With her affairs concluded here, Lin Chuxia went to the prepared food courtyard.

If the vacuum packaging machines were produced, it would be a turning point for their prepared food industry - and especially since the Spring Festival was approaching, she needed to plan the next steps with Su Wensong.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, the two people standing around the meat stewing pot stood up to greet her.

"Mr. Lin!"

"Manager Lin!" ƒrēewebnovel.com

Lin Chuxia nodded slightly, looking at Chen Chunhua somewhat unexpectedly.

Chen Chunhua quickly explained, "Manager Lin, it’s my day off from the Bun Shop today, and I didn’t have anything to do at home. I thought I’d come and keep Yingzi company for a while. I didn’t hold her up from her work, just watching from the side..."

"It’s okay, you two chat."

She was just surprised to see Chen Chunhua here, but she wasn’t that unsociable.

Chen Chunhua had been introduced by Ma Yingzi, and they seemed to have a good private relationship.

She walked past them and called Su Wensong, then returned to the office.

After hearing Lin Chuxia’s plan, Su Wensong nodded in agreement, "Right now we’ve just entered the winter month, and our prepared food business is already in high demand. I was just about to talk to you about this; the supply of chickens from the poultry farm is already at its limit, and we indeed need to add another poultry farm."

Pork was easy to resolve; their county had a meat processing plant that could meet any demand they had.

It was the fresh chickens that were the issue – these were raised by individual poultry farmers, of varying scales, mostly centered around families, and not many met their standards.

"Hand this matter over to you then. As always, while you can negotiate on price, we cannot be negligent with food hygiene standards."

"I know."
