A god-tier fishing spot, anglers lined up to give me money.

As soon as this word comes out,

Yang Youhe was the first to get restless. As one of the three families, having tasted the sweetness of success, he was most afraid that Yang Qi would abandon his post.

He slapped his thigh and stood up: "I agree to 50! Xiao Qi, don't you dare leave! Anyone who kicks you out doesn't deserve to be a member of Yangjia Village!"

Yang Guocheng also raised his hand: "I agree too!"

Yang Siwen adjusted his glasses and raised his hand: "Agreed."

With the village chief and village party secretary taking the lead, the situation changed dramatically.

I agree.

"I agree."

Count me in.

One hand after another was raised, breaking the tense atmosphere, and the old people relented.

Seeing this, Yang Jinming muttered under his breath, "Old happy, what about Old Hao?"

"What can we do? Don't overthink it," Yang Hao said, then raised his hand, "I agree too."

Yang Jinming's expression changed several times before he finally lowered his head and said, "I agree."

Seeing the situation turn against him, Yang happy wanted to say something, but looking at the hands already raised around him, and then at Yang Qi's expressionless face, he finally raised his hand and whispered, "...I agree too."

"32 people, unanimously approved."

Yang Guocheng smiled and turned to look at Yang Qi: "In that case, a buyout for 500,000, Xiao Qi, are you willing?"

"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm willing."

Yang Siwen took out a thick file from the drawer, flipped through it, and handed one out:

"This is the new contract. Take a look, if there are no problems, sign it. Once the money arrives, the right to use and own the reservoir will be entirely yours to manage."

Yang Qi took the contract and carefully flipped through it from beginning to end.

Only after confirming that there were no loopholes or ambiguities did he pick up the pen and write his name in the signature area.

"I will deliver the money to the village secretary tomorrow. You can then collect it from him."

"Don't worry, everyone, you won't be shortchanged a single penny." Yang Siwen took the contract and put it away.

Once Yang Guo saw that the matter was settled, the string in his heart finally snapped.

Looking at the audience, he raised his voice and said, "Xiao Qi, now that things are settled, let's talk about the plans for the agritainment business. That way, everyone will have a clear understanding."

Yang Qi nodded.

"I've already talked to the village chief about the agritainment business. If any family wants to run one, they should register with the village chief. There will be a unified standard: the prices must be reasonable and the ingredients must be fresh. If any family tries to cheat people with stale ingredients, they won't be allowed to run one in the future."

"And hygiene... If you can't even do one of these things, you shouldn't run the business in the first place, don't ruin everyone's reputation."

"In addition, after the road is repaired, the village can start some other projects, such as selling drinks, selling fishing gear, or running homestays. As long as they don't rip people off, I will support them."

Remember, don't be greedy for small gains. If someone ruins their reputation, the whole village will suffer.

"Aba aba..."

There were points of interest and questions, and Yang Qi explained them, leading to lively discussions among the crowd.

At 9 o'clock, seeing that the discussion was almost over, Yang Guocheng laughed loudly, "Did you all hear that? Go back and think it over carefully. Those who want to apply, come to my house to register. The opportunity is right here; whether you seize it or not is up to you."

Meeting adjourned.

The three brothers walked out of the ancestral hall side by side, and then the others dispersed one by one.

"Brother Qi, that's awesome! Did you see Yang happy's expression? He looked like he'd swallowed a fly."

Yang Xiaojin shook his head speechlessly from the side: "You've got quite a temper today, you almost overturned someone's table."

"How can you blame me?" Yang Huizhang said matter-of-factly. "Who told them to be so shameless? 50 yuan! They're just bullies who pick on the weak and fear the strong."

"Not bad," Yang Qi patted Zhang Huizhang on the shoulder, "This guy is strong, he's got the strength."

"See? Even Qi-ge praised me," Zhang Huizhang boasted.

Yang Xiaojin: "..."

Yang Qi smiled, then poured cold water on the situation, saying, "Xiao Zhang, remember, be firm when you need to be, but don't act recklessly when you shouldn't, or you'll easily be used as a pawn, understand?"

"I understand, I'm not stupid."

"That's good."

Yang Qi looked towards the reservoir; the construction team had already stopped.

It was quiet, with only a few temporary lights still on, emitting a faint starlight.

"elder brother."

Yang Xiaojin asked worriedly, "Can you come up with 50 yuan tomorrow? Do you really need a loan?"

"Okay. I'll go to the bank first thing tomorrow morning and borrow 300,000."

As he spoke, Yang Qi quickened his pace.

"Brother, aren't you being a little too hasty? What if it doesn't work out? That's 300,000!"

Yang Huizhang agreed, nervously saying, "Yes, Second Brother, 300,000! If we lose it... ptooey, ptooey, I don't mean you'll lose it, I mean..."

Yang Qi stopped, turned around and looked at the two of them, and said in a deep voice, "This is my business. You two just need to take good care of the agritainment business."

"The division of labor must be clear, and the allocation of money must be crystal clear. Once everything is agreed upon, a contract should be drafted and signed. We can't let money cause a falling out and turn brothers into enemies."

"Brothers turning against each other? The three of us? How could that be?" Yang Huizhang said nonchalantly, not believing they could possibly turn against each other.

Anything is possible.

Yang Qi looked at the two men, his eyes firm, and said seriously, "I don't want to see them turn against each other. What I want to see is brothers working together, putting their efforts in the same direction. Understand?"

"this……"

Yang Xiaojin and Yang Huizhang exchanged a glance, looked at Yang Qi, and then laughed together, "Brothers, let's work together towards the same goal! We'll remember that!"

"What are you standing there for?"

Yang Qi turned back and continued walking. "You two will be busy tomorrow. Running a farm stay isn't easy. Pack what needs to be packed and buy what needs to be bought as soon as possible."

Seeing Yang Qi walking out, Yang Huizhang asked, "Second Brother, aren't you going home?"

"I have to keep an eye on the reservoir." Yang Qi waved without turning his head. "I'm leaving."

Yang Xiaojin and Yang Huizhang stood at the intersection, looking in that direction, neither of them saying a word.

After a long pause, Yang Huizhang scratched his head: "Brother Xiaojin, do you think... it'll work?"

Yang Xiaojin was silent for a while, then shook her head: "I don't know, but I have a strong feeling that following my brother is definitely the right thing to do."

The two stood there for a few more seconds, then turned and walked home.

The next morning, Yang Qi got up early, washed up quickly, picked up his empty suitcase, and rode his electric scooter to town.

The morning air was cool and refreshing, and there weren't many people on the road, with only one or two motorcycles passing by occasionally.

Yang Qi rode for more than ten minutes until he reached the main street of the town, where he stopped in front of a breakfast restaurant.

This breakfast restaurant isn't very big, but it's doing a great job. There are several tables set up both outside and inside, and several people are already sitting there.

"Boss, one bowl of three-delicacy loach noodles!"

Yang Qi found an empty seat and sat down, then called out.

"Okay!"

The noodles were served in no time, a large bowl full of clear broth, with plenty of pork, seafood, and other ingredients, topped with chopped scallions and a few tender green vegetable leaves.

Loach noodles without loach are like beef noodles without beef.

Yang Qi added pickled cabbage, chili peppers, vinegar, and pickled radish to the bowl, stirred it well, and then buried his head in his hands, slurping it down.

The long, thin noodles, shaped like loaches, are quite chewy, with a tangy and spicy flavor that whets the appetite; one bite and you feel warm all over.

Yang Qi took a few more slurps, and sweat began to bead on his forehead, making him feel warm all over.

After finishing a bowl of noodles, I felt completely refreshed. I paid seven yuan and headed towards the bank.

This Jiushang Bank is located at the crossroads in the town center, with two ATMs standing at the entrance.

When Yang Qi pushed open the door, the lobby was empty. He walked to a counter window and saw a female staff member sitting behind it.

Yang Qi walked to the counter, took out the card he had used to deposit money yesterday, and handed it over: "Hello, I'd like to withdraw money."

The teller looked up, took the card, and swiped it on the machine: "How much do you want to withdraw?"

"Five hundred thousand."

The teller paused, looking Yang Qi up and down.

Wearing an ordinary T-shirt and ordinary shorts, his expression changed: "Sir, you need to make an appointment in advance to withdraw amounts over 5."

"You can't pick it up without an appointment."

"Can't we just make an exception?"

The teller pushed the card back, saying, "Sir, that's the rule. For amounts over 50,000, you need to make an appointment one day in advance. Also, according to the rules, amounts over 50,000 must be explained in terms of purpose and source."

"Okay, I'll come again tomorrow."
