Da Shanle couldn't close his mouth, and quickly agreed: "Am I going to be the shopkeeper?" Miss, don't worry, I can learn well without sleeping, I have learned a lot of words recently, and I can also count, I will definitely be able to do well. ”

Qin Mengdie trusts Dashan more, this person is grateful and studious and motivated, although he is not the smartest, but he must be the most attentive, she nodded with satisfaction: "I know that Dashan will be successful, then tomorrow you will go to the Qunxian Residence to find Shopkeeper Li, I wrote a letter to him, you take it, he will accept you when he sees it." ”

The smile on Dashan's face was really uncontrollable: "Thank you, Miss, for your trust." ”

Qin Mengdie turned to look at Uncle Chai: "Uncle Chai, I really have something to ask you to help me with, the emperor rewarded me with a manor, which is not far away, but I usually don't have time to manage it, I have my own plan over there, I want to ask you and my aunt to help me take care of it." ”

Hearing that Qin Mengdie had a place to use himself, Uncle Chai hurriedly responded: "I am a farmer, just leave the planting matter to me, even if I can't manage it." ”

Seeing Uncle Chai's enthusiasm and statement, Qin Mengdie couldn't say what she felt in her heart, feeling warm and a little sad about this era.

She smiled and said to Uncle Chai: "In a few days, I will start planting fruit trees, I want you to help me take care of it, you and Aunt Chai will live in it, and you will keep the original house or sell it for yourself."

But don't worry, as long as you want, my garden will always be your home, and I will set aside a separate small courtyard for you, even if it is enough for the mountains to marry a wife and have children in the future, and we can hire long-term and short-term workers if there is work there. You don't have to work, your salary is five taels of silver per month, and everything you eat and drink is mine, do you see enough? ”

Uncle Chai couldn't help crying when he heard it, and the crying of such an old man was even more touching: "Miss, why are you asking me to help, you are letting us support the old couple for the elderly, I never thought in my life that I could live a life of abundant food and clothing, from the day I met Miss, I changed my luck, and I know that people don't live to be full." ”

Uncle Chai wiped away his tears and continued: "I have become a status among the neighbors around me. Whoever gets married and has children will let my old man help him. This is people's affirmation of me, I am happy, it is a kind of happiness that has never been before, I will show you the yard. I don't want money. You let the mountains learn things. I don't even know how to repay the shopkeeper, thank you, miss. ”

Qin Mengdie also has shallow eye sockets, which made Uncle Chai shed tears: "Uncle Chai." I really want your help, there are too few people around me who can be trusted, I don't have enough in this house and this yard, you can go to help me, you say I hired someone I don't know, can they give me care, and when the fruit tree dies, can others care about our own people? And I will add things in the yard in the future, can I rest assured that others are there? ”

Uncle Chai wiped away his tears with his sleeve: "Miss, don't worry, I must be more attentive to my own things, as long as Miss has arrangements, I will do everything and not let Miss down." ”

Qin Mengdie also wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "That's right, Uncle Chai, you and Aunt Chai clean up, I'll pick you up tomorrow, let's go to the manor together, I'll go once, the place is not small, we will have to hire people in the garden in the future, and then Uncle Chai will have to worry more about managing it." ”

Speaking of this, Uncle Chai was nervous again: "Miss, I have always listened to the arrangement, which makes me discipline others, and I can't do it." ”

"Uncle Chai, everything has to be tried, we are not exploiting others, nor are we disciplining others, but when the place is big, there must be rules for everything, when the time comes, I will let Steward Li come over to help you for a while, and then you get used to it, how about you do it yourself?" Qin Mengdie hurriedly reassured him.

"Then I'll do my best, my ancestral grave is smoking, and my generation will be regarded as turning over." Uncle Chai muttered from time to time, in fact, Uncle Chai is in his fifties, but he looks very old.

Qin Mengdie was also a little sad when she looked at Uncle Chai, acquaintance can be regarded as fate, not to mention that this is a fate that has passed through thousands of years, and it is not easy.

After Uncle Chai and his son left, Qin Mengdie began to draw some strange drawings again, a small barrel with a lid, ten inches tall and six inches in diameter. On the top is a screw-on lid, to make sure that the bucket is screwed on the lid to isolate the air, this keg should be made of fine iron, and after the painting is done, let Dali take it to the blacksmith shop to build ten.

Wang Dali was also accustomed to this inexplicable thing, and hurriedly went to the blacksmith shop. This thing is also simple, Wang Dali worked in the blacksmith shop again, and he also followed the hands, and made it in the afternoon, and now there are carriages in and out of the house, and it is convenient to take things, and Wang Dali drove the carriage back in the evening.

Qin Mengdie took the iron bucket back to the yard, and asked Shui Ling to find a few porcelain jars, she was actually not sure whether this porcelain jar was suitable for canning, because after sealing it with wax, she didn't know how effective the exhaust was, if it could, it would be more economical to use the porcelain jar, but she was preparing with both hands, which one was suitable for which one.

Then let a few maids take out the hawthorn and apples, and these two fruits can still be seen this season.

Everyone peeled the apples, cleaned the hawthorn and removed the seeds, and then Qin Mengdie took a clean pot, never made meat, made sure that there was no oil, cut the apples into pieces, add sugar and boiled them, and then put them in a fine iron bucket after a while, and the hawthorn was also this step.

A few maids looked inexplicable, Hong Lie and Xiaoxiao sat in the courtyard with a bowl and ate it, they didn't care much about what Qin Mengdie was going to do.

Qin Mengdie looked at a few maids and was too curious to explain: "This is canned food, but the method I saw is a little different from this, we can't find those materials, so we can only use this refined iron instead, but the cost of this refined iron is higher, but if it can be done, this jar can be reused, and the cost will not be so high." ”

Shui Ling couldn't help but ask: "Miss, what is the canned food, isn't this the fruit boiled in sugar water?" ”

Qin Mengdie said while wiping the jar in her hand: "What about this, it uses the principle of vacuum, so that it can be stored for more than a year without rotting, do you believe it or not?" ”

Several little girls shook their heads together, with the same firm attitude: "I don't believe it." ”

Qin Mengdie then explained: "This is a sealed bucket, put this hot canned sugar water in it, and when it cools inside, the air will come out, so if there is no air, the food is in a vacuum environment, and it will naturally not rot." ”

The four maids looked at her with puzzled expressions, confused and frightened, Qin Mengdie knew that they really couldn't understand and said: "Forget it, you will know the truth of what I said when you eat in two months, hurry up and do all this and put it in the basement." (To be continued......)
