Chapter 16 Idleness
Before dawn, Yan Xiaoyue secretly moved the wooden box replaced with strawberry seedlings back to the original place, and then went back to the house to sleep.
After everything was arranged, Xiaoyue found that she was idle again, the shop had a child, and the farm had a fortune, so she was bored and began to clean up the house.
First, he took the maids to remove all the weeds and flowers in the garden, and planted roses, chrysanthemums, peonies, and magnolia flowers produced by the space. The pond also called Uncle Zhang to clean up, and when Jin Hui and the others didn't pay attention, they threw some lotus seeds and put some fish into it, the pond in the space was about to be full of fish, and the empty pond here was just enough to consume a point, and the next time I went to Zhuangzi, remember to throw some in.
After two days of repairs, the garden has changed a lot, and the bad son can't believe it, saying that Xiaoyue is too tired and has to buy some maids.
Frightened, Yan Xiaoyue hurriedly shouted to stop, there were already four maids around her alone, and she really felt a waste again. During the day, they all ate in the store, and there were only five or six people in the Mu Mansion on weekdays, and Jin Hui and the others performed their own duties, and their cooperation became more and more tacit, and there was no place to arrange for more people.
Two days later, the store was re-prepared and ready to reopen tomorrow. Xiaoyue cut two bunches of red roses that bloomed just right, planted them in vases, dug up two big ** in full bloom, planted them in porcelain pots, repaired two evergreen pines to make large potted plants, and sent them to the store as soon as the morning dawned.
Evergreen pines are placed at the door, chrysanthemums are placed in the corners of the house, and fiery roses are placed in prominent places in the store, so that the store is brightly colored, the fragrance is elegant, and the sight and smell are enjoyable. Of course, the effect is also very good, many customers come in and ask how to sell roses? Zigui also reacted very quickly, saying that roses were gifts, and a flower would be given for five taels of silver, and a young lady bought a cake for ten taels of silver.
The price of goods in the capital is high, Xiaoyue sells the preserved fruits made in the space for one or two pounds of silver, and the rest of the pastries are sold at the same price as those sold in the city. The business of the store improved, and Mama Zhang couldn't be busy alone, so she hired two more helpers, these were all taken care of by Zigui, and Xiaoyue didn't interfere.
Ten days later, the farm was also cleaned up, Yan Xiaoyue took Jin Hui to take a trip in the carriage of Zhaocai, and fifty acres of eighty-five acres of fertile land were greenhouses, all next to the hot springs. The sand was also cleaned up, and the large stones were piled up on the edge of the pond, and the hillside was also cleared, and then it was seen that it was originally a platform with a high point, and there were several acres of flat land on the top, so that a pavilion could be built, and the plum blossoms were planted all around, and it was fun to cook wine and enjoy the plum blossoms in the pavilion in winter, and it seemed that I had to get some red plum trees to plant, and the water moon was watching and planning at the same time.
After walking around this circle, Xiaoyue was very satisfied, and was ready to go back and tell Zigui to let Zhaocai follow her. Called Zhaocai over and asked, "Zhaocai, what do you think of me, a Zhuangzi?" ”
Zhaocai said happily: "I was shocked when I first saw it, but after Miss's skillful hand, Miss's Zhuangzi has become excellent." ”
Xiao Yue scolded with a smile: "Hmph, full of nonsense, do you know what I want to do with such a waste Zhuangzi, Miss?" ”
Zhaocai scratched his head and said: "Miss, although the little one doesn't know what Miss's intentions are, the little one understands that Miss won't do useless things, but the little one is stupid and can't see through Miss's intentions." ”
"You can talk about it, then I ask you, will you help me take care of this Zhuangzi in the future, are you willing?"
Zhaocai hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Miss is very gracious, how can the little one be unwilling, but I am afraid that it will not be managed well, and there will be a negative Miss cultivation." ”
Xiaoyue asked Jin Ling to help him up, "It's good if you have a heart, I have planned this Zhuangzi, and you can just listen to what I say in the future." ”
"Yes, Miss, the little one must listen to Miss, Miss, I will never dare to go west if you tell me to go east, and I will never dare to grow grain if you ask me to grow vegetables." After Zhao Cai finished speaking, he was embarrassed: "It's just the young master?" ”
"Zigui brother, then I'll go and talk to him. Okay, let's go back. ”
At dinner, I told Zigui about the fortune, Zigui nodded without thinking about it, and let Xiaoyue look at it herself, if there are not enough people to enter the treasure, you can also send it to Xiaoyue.
Yan Xiaoyue shook her head when she heard this, "I only have one person in charge in my Zhuangzi, and the rest of the things are hired to do it, and it's good to have a fortune, and besides, I'm used to using him." Brother Zigui, when my farm is built, there will be more and more goods in your store, and when the time comes, you will have to work hard. ”
"Don't worry, you just have more goods to eat in my store, and I plan to open another store when the goods are more!"
"Yo, it's not a small tone, it seems that business has been doing well recently."
"It's very good, especially the preserved fruits you made, which sell more than fifty catties every day, and I'm afraid the goods we shipped won't be able to sell for a month."
"Don't worry, it'll be there in a while. I'll surprise you then. ”
"Oh, is it? Then I'll wait. Come eat more, see you've lost weight lately. After speaking, she sandwiched a chopstick meat into Xiaoyue's bowl, Xiaoyue stared at the pork belly in the bowl, glared at Zigui, knowing that she didn't like to eat fatty and greasy meat the most, she rolled her eyes and put a fish tail in Zigui's bowl, "Brother Zigui, you have been thinking too much recently, eating fish to replenish your brain." Hey. After speaking, he looked at Mu Zigui triumphantly, this Zigui eats quickly, he doesn't like to eat fish very much, and every time he is forced by Xiaoyue to only eat the belly of the fish.
After eating lively, Xiaoyue explained that Zhaocai would go back to the yard when she came to see her tomorrow.
At night, Xiaoyue prunes the rose branches in the space, and waits for Zhaocai to send them to the Zhuangzi to plant them tomorrow. Satsuki planned to plant strawberries in the greenhouse first, and the rest of the fertile land was planted with wheat, and grapes and roses were planted in the sandy land.
It's already October, there is a hot spring in the greenhouse, and then water it with some space water, and the strawberries should be able to harvest the first batch by the time of the New Year, and they can be sold at a good price while the New Year is over. The roses planted in the sand next to the hot springs should also be able to bloom, and the rest of the places are afraid that they will not be good, but there are a batch that is also good.
In the following days, Yan Xiaoyue took Jin Qiaoqiao outfit to visit attractions every day. I found out that there is a red plum forest in Huguo Temple, which was built by a previous emperor for his favorite concubine, and has a history of 100 years. In her previous life, Yan Xiaoyue had only seen a red plum tree spitting fragrant and red flowers fighting snow waves on TV, and she was attracted by the cold and extraordinary form of the red plum.
Now that she has the opportunity, she has to taste her long-cherished wish and build a red plum forest in Zhuangzi. It's a pity that it's only October, and the plum blossoms are still blooming very early. Although she couldn't see the beautiful scenery of the red plum blossoms, Xiaoyue still took the maids to Huguo Temple on the fifteenth. The first and fifteenth days of each month are the days when Huguo Temple presides over the lectures, so there are many people who come to incense on this day.
