Chapter 863 A New Idea

Mr. Wu pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Since there is no worry about life, don't tell them. After all, they are all women. The more they know, the more trouble they will have. Apart from worrying and panicking, they can't help much. Why bother yourself?"

Wu Anren listened to the tone of her master, thought about it, and felt that it made sense.

She had just told Yiren. It is reasonable to encounter some minor troubles when going out. Since it is not a big deal, it is easier to worry if you don't know.

Bai Yunxi took a carriage back home, changed into home clothes, and leaned on the Luohan bed in thought.

Mrs. Zhu was waiting by the side, looking at Bai Yunxi's expression, and carefully comforted her,

"Old lady, don't worry too much, didn't Wu Anren say it? It is routine for the fifth master to go out on official business. No one dares to be presumptuous when the government is on patrol."

Having said so, she was always uneasy, especially when she met Mr. Wu at the door. She always felt that the man knew something, but it was inconvenient to say it out loud.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi sighed in her heart. In the end, there were not enough people and the limitations were too great. Apart from Wenyou, there was really no one else available.

I really hope that the children in the other courtyards can grow up quickly so that Wenyou can have an assistant.

After sighing, Bai Yunxi sat up and looked at Zhu Pozi with a smile in his eyes,

"Judging from your performance in the past few months, you have your own ideas and good insights. Several maids also believe in you. From today on, you will be the head nanny of Rongshu Hall."

Hearing Bai Yunxi's appreciation, Zhu Pozi was stunned, and then knelt on the ground with a look of surprise and kowtowed to thank her,

"Thank you for your appreciation, thank you for your promotion, I will do my best to serve you."

"Get up and talk, our There are not many people in the yard, which is convenient for management. You should teach the maids well. I plan to leave Dongye and Dongxue to Yaya, Qiukui and Shiliu to me, one is responsible for sewing and clothes, and the other is responsible for food. You can assign tasks to the other servants. "

"Don't worry, old lady, I promise to manage the yard well and not let you worry."

Madam Zhu agreed, smiling like a chrysanthemum. Dongye is her granddaughter. She will have a bright future if she follows the young master in the future.

This is the face given by the old lady to her. She accepted this friendship and will serve the old lady wholeheartedly and manage the yard in the future.

In order to prevent herself from thinking too much, after breakfast the next day, Bai Yunxi told Madam Zhu to prepare the carriage. She was going to Qianpo Village to check the progress of the duck farm and take a look at the fruit trees.

Clear all the fruit trees with poor appearance. Add some new fruit trees.

Once, she saw wild apples in the mountains and forests, which were good, that is, apple trees. Wild apples are sour and have a bad taste, but they can be transplanted and grafted to change the taste of the fruit.

This was already a mature technology in her time, and there was no barrier.

It would be a good idea to get some more grape vines.

Bai Yunxi sat in the carriage and went out of the city leisurely. Since Wenyou left, the driver was replaced by Qingchuan, and the people who accompanied her out were replaced by Nanny Zhu and Shi Liu.

The carriage turned into the small road, and the ground was not so flat. It bumped from time to time. Bai Yunxi came back to her senses, lifted the curtains, looked at the bleak scenery outside, and the withered wild grass, and her heart moved.

These wild grasses grow wildly and wildly. No one usually takes care of them, and no one cares. If a few sheep are put here, they will definitely be fat and strong.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi's mind began to be active again. She went back to the livestock store to see if there were any lambs for sale?

The orchard is so big, and there are big fruit trees, so there is no need to worry about the bark being eaten. Just eating the grass under the tree is enough.

There are also wild grasses growing wildly outside, which is also a good place to graze sheep. In a word, the area outside the city is large and the population is small, so raising horses, cattle and sheep is definitely not a problem.

At that time, she only needs to send people to guard it, and there is enough grass and fodder, so there is no need to worry about raising it badly.

Mutton is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it. It is said that royal nobles like to eat mutton, especially the lamb meat of six to eight months old, which is tender and tastes good.

The people below also followed suit, causing the price of mutton to soar. Ordinary people dare not even think about eating it.

Every winter. It is the most expensive time for mutton, with the highest reaching one hundred coins per catty. Just hearing the price makes many people stay away.

The nobles and those wealthy families eat mutton, and the common people eat coarse grains. Occasionally, they can only choose pork for a feast.

The price of pork is relatively low, and it is affordable to eat it two or three times a year.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi seemed to open the Ren and Du meridians, and his whole body was full of energy. There is no other way. There are many places to spend money at home. After a long time, we are worried that we will not be able to make ends meet.

Anyway, we are all engaged in breeding. It doesn’t matter if we raise a group of sheep or take care of them. As long as we have enough people, we will not be afraid of not making money.

With a plan in mind, Bai Yunxi immediately told Xiao Si about his idea when he arrived at the orchard, and then looked at him helplessly,

"If you agree, we will build a sheep pen next door after the duck farm is built. Fortunately, the area of ​​this orchard is large enough. It won’t be difficult to build a factory building."

Xiao Si blinked his eyes and listened to his mother's proposal. He was very happy.

His mother is really smart. If she were a man, she would definitely be able to pass the imperial examination like Xiao Wu.

"Mom's suggestion is very good. When the sheep grow up, we will open a restaurant in the city to supply our mutton."

Anyway, the duck farm has been built almost, and it won’t cost much to build another one next to it.

After making up his mind, Xiao Si looked at his mother with burning eyes,

"In such a short time, we have done so many things. To be honest, I really don't want to go back."

Hearing this, Bai Yunxi couldn't help laughing. To be honest, she and Xiao Si are the best in making money.

"It doesn't matter if you don't go back. Shu Ren has learned well from you. It's okay to let him take care of the family affairs. There are many opportunities in prosperous places. As long as there are enough people, you can still accomplish something."

Xiao Si is also impatient. As soon as the two of them finished discussing, he invited the master painter to come over and narrated the matter of rebuilding the sheepfold to him.

After listening, the master painter looked up at the sky and pondered for a moment,

"It's completely fine to build another sheepfold, but it must be done before the freezing. If it freezes halfway through, it must be stopped and it will continue until the next spring when it thaws. Otherwise, it is easy to crack and collapse."

Bai Yunxi agreed with this, the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.

The best seasons to build a house are spring and autumn, when the weather is dry and there is little rain.

"In that case, please hurry up and try to finish the house before it freezes. If it doesn't work, it's not your fault."

Time is indeed tight, and they all understand this.
