Ultimate Village Doctor

The villagers of Longyang Village looked at each other, puzzled.

Some of the elders were still reluctant to give up the stable rental income of tens of thousands of yuan a year.

However, the younger ones felt differently, thinking about the investment of over a billion yuan, and that Xiaoshan had never failed in anything since his return.

"Xiaoshan, I'm willing to follow you and do this."

"Me too, I may not understand much, but if those big bosses believe in Xiaoshan and are not afraid to invest over a billion yuan, then what do I have to be afraid of?"

In a moment, many responded.

Xiaoshan said decisively, "Alright, if that's the case, those who are willing to contribute their land as shares, come here to sign up, and those who wish to rent their land to me, sign up over there. Later on, we'll make a formal agreement."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone sprang into action.

They split into two groups to sign up.

Watching from above, Xiaoshan noticed that more than half were willing to invest as shareholders.

There was also over a third who were not willing to become shareholders and only wanted to rent out their land.

These were the older folks who only sought stability.

Although Xiaoshan hoped that everyone would become shareholders, because he was confident that he could develop it to the point where every person in Longyang Village could become a millionaire or even a multimillionaire,

he knew such matters could not be forced.

Moreover, even without becoming shareholders, these individuals would still receive annual rent of tens or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, living a rather comfortable life.

What followed was a busy period.

Professional surveyors were hired to measure the land.

Then they calculated the value of the land and the shares.

Once all the preparatory work was ready,

they chose an auspicious day to establish the official group company.

On the day the company was officially founded,

a fleet of black cars entered Longyang Village.

With the influx of a large number of cars,

Longyang Village became livelier than it had ever been.

Gu Jingheng, Shangguan Baihe, and others had already been waiting here.

Today was the day the Longyang Group was established.

The foundation of this large company, with an investment of over a billion yuan, attracted countless gazes.

Xiaoshan, the small farmer, who had always been unnoticed,

was now in the spotlight for the first time.

People were made aware that the renowned magical shrimp and health-preserving vegetables all came from this remote and impoverished village.

But now, no one dared to overlook this small village.

This was a village that had attracted an investment of over a billion yuan.

To put it in perspective, the GDP of Niu Y County for the entire previous year was only about a billion yuan.

This village was equivalent to an entire county.

And this was just the beginning.

With a financial deity like Gu Jingheng around, who knew what the future would hold.

The villagers of Longyang Village were widening their horizons.

In the past, even the visit of a township head was considered a big deal.

Now, major leaders from the county and city were coming.

Longyang Village had not seen such an occasion in many years.

Some of the older villagers were tearfully praying in the Long Family Ancestral Hall, commemorating their ancestors.

The Long Family had produced a True Dragon.

The "True Dragon" they spoke of was undoubtedly Xiaoshan.

Without Xiaoshan, Longyang Village would never have undergone such a revolutionary change.

After the dignitaries had inspected the entire village, they gathered at Xiaoshan's farm. Xiaoshan looked at everyone with a smile, noting how they were unaccustomed to luxury; especially given Longyang Village's terrain, walking around had left them all with sweat on their brows.

"Honored guests, it's been tough for you all to make the trip to my humble place. So, I'll prepare a few medicinal meals for everyone to try, using ingredients from my own farm."

Although Xiaoshan was internally proud, he was not unaware.

Especially with his experience in prison,

he understood that to survive and thrive in this society, one must have connections and relationships.

The connections provided by Elder Ye were useful, but using favors too often could sour them, and even the most significant favors could be expended.

Relationships needed to be cultivated.

So, he planned to show off his skills.

At that moment, a woman laughed and said, "President Long, you can make medicinal meals too? That's quite rare. It's not often you find successful men like President Long willing to cook. Unlike my husband, who might not have many skills but does have plenty of problems."

Women possess a natural advantage.

With so many important figures present, no one dared to speak freely.

However, when a woman made a joke, it elicited laughter from the group.

Xiaoshan smiled and said, "Today I'll be showing off a little."

Then his gaze swept over the crowd.

Everyone felt as though Xiaoshan could see right through them.

This feeling was fleeting, leaving them puzzled, thinking it was just an illusion.

After scanning the crowd,

Xiaoshan turned and went to the kitchen to get busy.

The kitchen was stocked with plenty of ingredients that day, along with herbs Xiaoshan had foraged from the mountains.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Xiaoshan fired up the burners and got to work.

Each clay pot was lit and simmering.

Xiaoshan added a variety of vegetables and herbs to each one.

Each pot was unique.

About half an hour later,

a fragrant aroma wafted from the kitchen, making the saliva of the waiting guests churn.

But the smell alone was not enough to quell their watering mouths.

Soon, Xiaoshan began bringing out the clay pots one by one.

Quickly, each guest noticed that their pot was different from the others.

"President Long, why are they all different? Is there some special treatment?" asked a director of the Water Resources Bureau with a laugh.

Xiaoshan replied, "Yes, they are indeed different. As for why, you'll find out soon enough. But I must remind everyone not to mix them. The medicinal properties might conflict and cause problems if consumed together."

Hearing Xiaoshan's words, those who were thinking of swapping their dishes for something else stopped immediately.

Everyone was hungry after the wait and enticed by the unique fragrance, so they all started eating without delay.
