Chapter 29 Small Farm

When Yun Qing came back at night, before entering the inner courtyard, he saw Xu Wu stepping forward and told Yu Cong what he had done: "I didn't know that guy talked so fast, so let him go to see his wife, he just said that." Many words."

Yun Qing was not angry either, and said, "It's okay." He didn't want to say it, but he was afraid that Yu Xi would be worried, but in fact, there was nothing he couldn't say about these things.

However, Yunqing soon regretted it. Because what greeted him was not the tenderness of his wife, but a bowl of particularly unpleasant medicinal food.

It's a pity that Yuxi's hard work was in vain. Because Yunqing didn't eat this food, he just said: "I'm in good health, so I don't need to eat these things." Of course, if you eat it once, you can bear it, but looking at Yu Xi's appearance, he intends to let him eat this food often, so he can't compromise.

Yu Xi said helplessly: "Eating this stuff is good for your health."

Yun Qing immediately said: "I am in good health." After speaking, he stuck to Yu Xi's ear and said, "If you don't believe me, I will let you know later."

Yuxi retreated immediately. Well, Yuxi also has to admit that the medicinal food she cooks really doesn't smell good, one reason is that her craftsmanship is not as good as that of Nunnery Quan, and the other reason is that the medicinal materials here are not neat enough. However, Yunqing's refusal also required a price. In the sky that night, Yuxi did not let Yunqing get close to him, so he called it to take care of his body.

Yun Qing immediately put the blame on Yu Cong, and took Yu Cong by his side the next day and forbade him to go home. This lasted for a month, causing Yu Cong to complain endlessly.

After waiting for more than half a month, Yuxi finally waited for Zhao Ernǎinǎi to come to her door. Zhao Ernǎinǎi and Yuxi said: "Yesterday my natal sister-in-law told me that her cousin's daughter-in-law has a Zhuangzi. The Zhuangzi is not big, with only more than 80 mu of paddy fields and more than 60 mu of dry land. But The production of these paddy fields is not very good, and most of them are low-grade paddy fields. The only advantage is that Zhuangzi is not far from Yucheng, and it can be reached in half a day by horse-drawn carriage. If you ride a horse, it will be faster, and you can get there in about an hour." It was also Yuxi who made the request, that is, not to use Yunqing's name to buy Zhuangzi, which took so long. If not, there is no need to wait, as soon as the news is released, some people will send Zhuangzi to his door.

Yuxi smiled and said: "If Zhuangzi is all high-quality paddy fields, they won't sell it. How much is the other party asking for?" She mainly bought a Zhuangzi

Seeing that Yuxi had no objection, Zhao Ernǎinǎi breathed a sigh of relief. It is not so easy to find a Zhuangzi nearby. It took a lot of effort to find such a Zhuangzi: "The other party asked for 1,200 taels. If my sister wants to buy it, I can probably get it for 1,000 taels."

Yuxi thought about it and said: "The price is quite appropriate. But I think it's better to let someone go and see it first, and then make a decision after seeing it." If you want to buy something, you must first inspect it.

Zhao Ernǎinǎi smiled and said, "It's natural."

When others help, always show it. Yuxi handed Zhao Ernǎinǎi a pair of small goldfish ball fans that she had prepared, and said, "It's just a small thing, I hope my sister won't dislike it." Show your heart.

There are two small goldfishes embroidered under the round fan, one red and one blue. There are aquatic plants beside the goldfish, and a few willow branches hang down from it. From a distance, it feels like there are water waves.

Zhao Ernanǎinǎi took it over and took a look, grinning from ear to ear: "I won't dislike such a good thing if you give me ten more." Such a beautiful round fan, compared with the embroidery bought by Jiangnan, has never been seen before. Nothing less than that.

Yuxi smiled, even though the fan was small, it took her a lot of effort, so Zhao Ernǎinǎi met her eyes, and Zhao Ernǎinǎixìngzi was also straightforward, she wanted to have a deep friendship with him.

Otherwise, it wouldn't take so much effort. Of course, this fan is just a wish, not a return of affection: "Just as long as you like it."

Looking at Zhuangzi's matter, Yuxi handed it over to Hao Dazhuang. Han Ji was engaged in the business of the restaurant, so he couldn't get away. Yuxi planned to wait for the cook to arrive, and then she would open the business here, so these things were rushed.

After Hao Dazhuang looked at it, he said to Yuxi: "Madam, the farmland in this village is not very good. One thousand taels is a bit of a loss. I think nine hundred taels should be able to get it."

Yuxi smiled and said: "It's all agreed, and I don't want to fight for the hundred taels."

After hearing this, Hao Dazhuang nodded and said, "It's not a loss if you buy it for one thousand taels. Although the fields are not good, those dry lands can be opened up to grow some beans and vegetables, and raise some chickens and ducks. By the way, there is a waterway next to it." You can dig a pond to raise some fish in the ditches. If it is repaired, it can be sold for a lot of money every year.” The main thing is to take care of it.

Yuxi's eyes lit up when she heard this: "I didn't expect you to be proficient in the fields?" She was worried about who to ask to take care of Zhuangzi? The one in front of him is a ready-made candidate.

Hao Dazhuang said: "My father has been farming all his life, and after staying with him for a long time, he will know." If it hadn't been impossible, he wouldn't have come to serve as a soldier.

Yuxi asked: "When the restaurant's business is on the right track, you will take care of Zhuangzi and the winery, what do you want?" Since it was the person sent by Yunqing, it must be reliable.

Hao Dazhuang hurriedly nodded and said: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Zhuangzi and the winery." He still has confidence in this.

After saying this, Hao Dazhuang finally remembered one thing: "Madam, this wine has been settled, where will it be refined?" Purification, when he heard this word for the first time, he thought it was rare.

Yuxi had already thought about it, and the wine was processed in the house where she lived before. That house had already been given to her by Han Jianye as a dowry, and it was not far from the restaurant, so it was just right. Immediately said: "The house is empty anyway, so the wine can be transported inside!" The house is empty, and it is easy to break.

Hao Dazhuang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to take a look first." The main thing is to check the environment, if the doors and walls are not thick enough, they need to be reinforced.

After a pause, Hao Dazhuang asked: "Ma'am, the farm will definitely need some manpower at that time. I would like to invite some women from brothers' families to help. I wonder if it is possible?" Just find a few women to do the work.

Yuxi nodded and said: "As long as the person is safe, everything else is fine. In the future, you can do this kind of thing by yourself, and you don't need to ask me again. I only want the result, and I don't need to tell me about the process." The implication of these words If Hao Dazhuang doesn't do well, she will replace him.

Hao Dazhuang's heart shuddered when he heard this, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.

After the people left, Yuxi said to Zijin, "I'm missing a cook now! I don't know when the two cooks will arrive."

Here, Han Jianming received Yuxi's letter, seeing that Yuxi asked him for a cook, he couldn't laugh or cry: "This maid, I even want a cook." Let his big brother solve it!

Mr. Zhao knew what was written in the letter, but he thought differently: "Opening a restaurant is a good place to collect information." The fourth girl's dowry is so generous, even if she does nothing, she will not be short of food and clothing. Opening a restaurant, I'm afraid it has this meaning in it.

Han Jianming thinks this argument is very reasonable, otherwise this girl would open a restaurant because of her bad business: "If that's the case, then you have to pick two good cooks." To open a restaurant, if the dishes are not good , where there are customers. If there are no customers, how can we collect information.

Mr. Zhao said: "Grandpa, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are urging you so hard, shouldn't you mention this matter to Miss Si?"

Han Jianming chuckled lightly and said, "There's no rush for this matter, we'll talk about it after Yuxi has gained a firm foothold." The Yu family also took themselves too seriously, they obviously wanted to win over Yunqing to seize military power, but they still wanted Yunqing to follow him Fourth sister begging them, it's really funny. In the past few years, the Song family had always wanted to put Yunqing to death, but Yunqing had survived, and now that Yunqing was full-fledged, it was impossible to be afraid of the Song family anymore.

Mr. Zhao hesitated for a moment, and said, "At least the fourth girl must have confidence in her heart."

Han Jianming said, "Needless to say, Fourth Sister knows about it." If the Yu family wanted to form an alliance, they would definitely be able to discuss it. It would be wishful thinking to talk about bringing together Yunqing. If you want to seek military power, you also have to see if you have the ability to control it. The Yu family is good at playing tricks and tricks, leading troops to fight, they can't take half of them.

After a while, Han Hao came over and said, "Grandpa, the old lady heard that the fourth girl sent someone to bring something back, and asked the servant girl to come over and ask why she didn't see the letter."

Han Jianming reluctantly picked up the other two unopened letters, and personally sent them to Changle Yuan to be handed over to the Qiu family. After Qiu finished reading it, Han Jianming said: "Mother, you said that Jianye and Simei are doing well in Yucheng, but you are worried. Now you can rest assured!" Seeing his mother eating fast and reciting Buddha every day, he also Distressed! But no matter what, his mother didn't listen, so he could only follow her wishes.

Qiu folded the letter carefully with a smile, and said: "If you can't see the letter, you are always not at ease. You write back to Yuxi, and ask her and Jianye to send home a letter every month." So, raising The son is one hundred years old, and the long-term worries are ninety-nine.

Seeing this, Han Jianming hurriedly said, "Mother, even if Yuxi writes a letter every month, there will always be a delay on the way, and it is impossible to deliver it on time." Han Jianming was also worried that the letter would not be delivered in time, and she The mother is not at ease again.

Qiu Shi said: "If you can't arrive on time, you can always deliver it." On this point, Qiu Shi will not back down at all.

Han Jianming had no choice but to agree. Originally wanted to stay and have dinner with Qiu Shi, but was called away because of something else.

Qiu couldn't help sighing, and said, "I don't know when Jianye will come back?" In fact, Qiu knew very well that the youngest son would not come back in three to five years. It was just because the old lady was lying on the bed crookedly every day, which made her very worried. She was afraid that something would happen to her, and she might not even be able to see her son for the last time.

Mother Li knew about Qiu's heart disease, but she persuaded and talked, but it didn't work. This kind of thing still needs to be figured out by the master himself.

ps: I have something to do tomorrow, and the update will be postponed until evening. (to be continued)
