It is also a local custom whenever a new rice or wheat harvest is followed. Farmers will definitely use new rice or noodles to cook a bowl of fragrant white porridge and steam a basket of steaming steamed buns.

This is the enjoyment of life by the peasant family, and it is also a gratitude to the gods and nature, which comes from the gifts of nature, so that they can better understand where everything comes from.

Facing the loess with their backs to the sky, it is not only the people of Shaanxi, but almost all farmers across the country can describe it in this way.

The emperor saw the hospitality of the people of Shandong and could not help but be overjoyed. The first leg of this southern tour was so eye-opening to him, and he was sure that the rest of the trip would not disappoint him.

This leisurely life made the emperor and concubine Niangniang, who had been locked up in the Forbidden City all year round, feel comfortable. Everything was curious to them, and the emperor even led everyone to work together on Nongsang.

This is not only because agriculture is the foundation of the country, but also because of the freedom and comfort it brings to the people in the Forbidden City. These are really a new life experience for people who have been locked up in the Forbidden City all year round.

If it was true, the emperor had just come up with the idea the night before, and the next day he gave them action.

After finding the county order of Jinan that night, the emperor told him about this plan, and the county order of Jinan did not want the emperor to go down to the ground in person.

After all, the emperor is a golden body, and if there is a slight mistake, he can't afford it.

But at the emperor's insistence, the Jinan County Commander had no choice but to agree to this matter, so the next day there was a scene of the emperor and a group of concubines, including Su Zhenzhen, plowing on the ridges.

Su Zhenzhen sat on the edge of the field with a sad face, looking at the endless fields, and her mind drifted to somewhere.

She didn't know how to farm, and she was afraid of messing things up, so she racked her brains to figure out how to solve them.

At this moment, a woman walked not far away, she walked up to Su Zhenzhen and sat down, "Why is the girl sad?" ”

Su Zhenzhen turned her head when she heard the sound and looked at the people around her, only to see that he looked ordinary, and the clothes he was wearing were also the most ordinary fabrics.

She thought about it in her head, but she didn't find the slightest impression of the woman in front of her.

"You are?" Su Zhenzhen asked with a puzzled face.

"My name is Lin Xu, and I live in a nearby village," the woman who called herself Lin Xu explained with a smile, "Seeing that the girl was worried here, I stepped forward and asked one or two, if the girl had any difficulties, I could help." ”

Hearing Lin Xu's answer, Su Zhenzhen's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Since her home is in a nearby village, she should know about farming.

"And you don't know how to farm?" Su Zhenzhen supported her chin with her right hand and turned her head to look at her, "I am involved in all the affairs of farming here, but I don't know anything about farming, so I think about what to do." ”

"Girl, it seems that I came by coincidence!" In order to express the joy in his heart, Lin Xu slapped his thigh and said with a smile, "The farming thing is wrapped up in me, and I am the best at this kind of thing!" ”

"Really?" Su Zhenzhen's eyes were shining, and the corners of her mouth couldn't hide her smile, "That's great!" ”

Next, Lin Xu took the tools needed for farming and began to work in the field, while Su Zhenzhen sat and watched, as if she had learned from experience.

Under the hot sun, Lin Xu worked for a while, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled at Su Zhenzhen, who was sitting on the side.

Seeing that she was not hot, Su Zhenzhen's heart moved, she stood up, jumped into the field briskly, took the tool from her hand, and said with a smile: "Why don't you teach me how to farm, and when I farm next time, I can also participate in it, and I don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

"Okay." Lin Xu untied his mouth, revealing a row of big white teeth.

Lin Xu began to teach Su Zhenzhen how to hoe and sow seeds, and after working all day, a large area of land in front of her had been sown.

Su Zhenzhen was busy, took the kettle from her hand, and began to drink it directly to her mouth without restraint.

After a few sips, she wiped her mouth with her sleeve, glanced at Lin Xu, who was still busy, and ordered her subordinates: "Go and find out what the origin of that woman is." ”

"Yes." His subordinates bowed slightly, and then retreated.

There was still half a pot of water in the kettle, Su Zhenzhen shook it, walked to Lin Xu's side, patted her shoulder, and handed the kettle to her, "It's been a busy day, let's drink saliva." ”

Lin Xu was already thirsty, probably because of implication, she didn't dare to go to Su Zhenzhen to ask for water to drink, so she could only wait next to each other like this, but she didn't expect Su Zhenzhen to hand over the water on her own, and she couldn't help but feel a little grateful in her heart.

"Thank you." Lin Xu took the water and began to pour it into her throat, and after a while, the water in the kettle was drained by her.

After that, the two sat together and chatted for a while.

After inquiring about the news, his subordinates walked to Su Zhenzhen's side and whispered to her: "Lin Xu is innocent and an ordinary girl. ”

Su Zhenzhen bowed slightly, and waved her hand to signal her subordinates to leave.

Then, she turned her gaze to Lin Xu and asked softly, "Are you interested in finding a way to make money?" ”

"What?" Lin Xu didn't expect her to ask such a question, and looked at her with wide eyes in disbelief.

Su Zhenzhen had expected this reaction from her.

In this era, under the status of women, anyone who has become a family has to marry and teach children at home.

However, there is no shortage of people who go out to find errands.

But with this thought, it is difficult to find an errand, and it is even more difficult to find a good errand.

Su Zhenzhen knew what she was thinking at this time, so she said: "You don't have to worry about this, I have a branch in Jinan, and there is a shortage of people in the store, so it is better to introduce you in, and the remuneration is not small." ”

"Really?" Lin Xu seemed to have heard some earth-shattering good news, and grabbed her hand tightly.

Su Zhenzhen smiled at her, "Really." ”

Before the sun set, Su Zhenzhen got into the carriage and took Lin Xu to the branch.

As the big boss, Su Zhenzhen personally took Lin Xu to visit the layout of the branch, and also informed her of her main tasks one by one.

It was getting dark, and Lin Xu saw that it was not too early and offered to go home.

Su Zhenzhen saw that Lin Xu had been grabbing the hem of her clothes, and immediately understood, it turned out that she was afraid that she would come home too late and be reprimanded by her family.

"Why don't I send you home, it's not too early." Su Zhenzhen glanced at the night on the horizon, afraid that she would refuse, so she explained, "I'm afraid that your family won't agree, so I'll go with you, two mouths are better than one." ”

Su Zhenzhen was afraid that something would happen on the way, so she specially called two guards over, and the four of them entered the Lin family together.

Su Zhenzhen told the two elders of the Lin family the news that Lin Xu had entered the Jinan branch to work, and they did not refuse, but were very happy.

Father Lin glanced at the low beams and sighed, "Now it is even more difficult to find a serious job than to ascend to the sky, Miss Su proposed to help the little girl find a job, which is equivalent to helping our whole family!" ”

As he spoke, he squinted at Mother Lin who was standing aside: "Go to the backyard to pick some vegetables and treat Miss Su." ”

When Lin Mu and Lin Xu heard this, they immediately opened and exited the door, and after a while, they brought two sacks of vegetables over.

"We don't have anything to thank you for, so let's give you the vegetables grown in the backyard."

Father Lin took the sack and handed the dish to Su Zhenzhen after many attempts to shirk it to no avail.

Su Zhenzhen finally returned to the store with these dishes.

Somehow, this matter reached the ears of the emperor.

"This Miss Su's shop is quite interesting." The emperor played with the pearls in his hand and glanced at Concubine Ai, who was laughing with him, "It seems that Concubine Ai is also interested in her shop, why don't we visit it together?" ”

"It's all up to the emperor." The concubine lowered her head and smiled smartly.

Subsequently, the emperor ordered his subordinates to prepare a few carriages, the concubines talked and laughed on the carriage, and the guards followed behind the carriage, and the scene was very lively.

This kind of battle naturally reached Su Zhenzhen's ears.

Su Zhenzhen naturally wanted to give the emperor a son, so she gathered the whole store and went to the gate to greet the emperor.

The emperor jumped out of the carriage, waved his hand to flatten them, and then stood at the gate, looking at the decoration inside.

"I didn't expect Miss Su to have this kind of talent, a small girl's family, and she actually took care of the shop in an orderly manner." The emperor couldn't help but praise, "I've heard about the store for a long time, and although it's just a branch in front of me, it has an extraordinary connotation." ”

The emperor waved his hand and beckoned the concubines behind him to follow.

Su Zhenzhen walked in the front and led the group into the door.

And those eunuchs and guards, because of the large number of people, can only stay outside the door of the store.

Su Zhenzhen led everyone to an extremely spacious room, where all kinds of tools were placed, and the employees sat in front of the tools and made a "squeak" sound.

"This is used to make rouge gouache, the raw materials are precisely washed, put into this tool, and then manually pushed, the rouge gouache will be naturally formed." Su Zhenzhen pointed to a tool in front of her and introduced.

While listening to her introduction, the concubines curiously touched these novel things with their hands.

One of the concubines suddenly whispered, "Excuse me...... Can I make one myself? ”

Su Zhenzhen smiled and nodded, "Of course you can." ”

Then, she took the concubine by the hand, walked to a tool, sat her down, and taught her by hand: "Put your favorite flower in first, and then pour in the special essential oil...... Then stir the ...... with a tool"

"Then can I put my favorite lotus flower?" The concubine looked at her with that hopeful gaze.

"Yes," Su Zhenzhen nodded, and instructed the staff to fetch the cleaned lotus flowers and hand them to the concubine, "Now follow the process I said." ”

The concubine let out a low "um" and began to try it carefully, every step she made was extremely attentive, Su Zhenzhen didn't remind her much, and she did these processes like a cloud of peers.

After the finished product came out, the concubine applauded excitedly, put the rouge she had made on the side of her nose and smelled it, and said happily: "It really smells like a lotus!" ”

When the other concubines heard about it, they came forward to smell it, and they all had to let it go.

Su Zhenzhen smiled helplessly.

"Miss Su, I don't know where you're going to sell these goods?" The emperor walked up to her and asked curiously.

Su Zhenzhen turned her head to look at him and replied, "Our shop is a small business, and it is specially prepared for those girls from ordinary families, so the scope will be larger." At first, it was for the Jinan generation, probably because the name of our store gradually grew, and some people from other provinces began to send people to buy it. ”

Su Zhenzhen paused, and then said: "So now, our goods are not aimed at a certain place, but all over the country. ”

When the emperor heard her say this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

I didn't expect the business to be so big with just a small shop.
