"My God." Mrs. Ming pinched the only two remaining copper plates that Ming Di handed her, "No wonder you only have two pennies left in the end!" ”

"It's thanks to the fact that we ate at Zhuangzi for three days, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to afford roast chicken, dim sum and candy cubes for our children." Mingyue smiled and looked at a few small snacks and sugar cubes, "But it doesn't matter, soon our family will be able to sell the next batch of rabbits, eggs, goose eggs and out-of-season greens." There are also those sunflower seeds that are stocked, we can also sell some of them for money. Original, spiced, caramel, all have a portion. ”

Mrs. Ming shook her head helplessly, "In the past few days when you are not at home, your brother and Jiayan have not been idle, and they have sold pheasants and hares on the mountain, if you need to spend money, you can tell your grandmother." ”

Mingyue waved her hand, "You don't have a few taels of silver in your money box, you should keep it in case you have any urgent needs, I have my own private money." ”

Mrs. Ming glanced at her with disgust.

This kid is so reasonable when she has private money, people don't know what to say about her.

"Sister, sister, what's caramel-flavored?"

"There are also five-spiced ones, sister, I want to eat five-spiced ones."

I have already eaten a few small bites of the original fried melon seeds, and vaguely begged for food around the bright moon.

Mingyue raised her hand and touched the little brains of her younger brothers and sisters, "Don't worry, I'll let you be the first to eat at a moment's notice." ”

"Then do we still buy river beach land?" Although Mingtang was also curious about the five-spiced and caramel-flavored sunflower seeds, he was obviously more concerned about what the family was going to do next year.

"Buy, when I have money, I'll let my father go to Lizheng to buy land." Although Mingyue already has a small pond on the Zhuangzi, this does not prevent her from pulling the land in front of her house to her plate first.

If it weren't for the fact that Nanshan was too big, and the people in the village were used to digging wild vegetables, cutting grass, and chopping firewood, she would have wanted to buy Nanshan together.

"You bought this old lot of land, and you want to dig a pond or something, can our family be busy?" Mingtang was dizzy when he thought about it, three hundred acres of land, plus a small mountain bag, a small pond, and a large piece of river beach land that Mingyue was about to buy, they were afraid that they would die of exhaustion in the ground.

Mingyue couldn't cry or laugh, "Third uncle, that Zhuangzi has a long-term worker, we just need to send someone to keep an eye on their spring plowing and autumn harvest, and then go to the field to have a look." As for planting fruit trees, raising chickens and ducks, planting lotus roots, and raising fish and shrimp, these things are indeed more troublesome than simply farming, but we can hire long-term workers. A man was hired to take care of the lotus roots, fish and shrimp in the pond, and a woman was hired to take care of the fruit trees, chickens and ducks. When there is a lot of work, we will hire a group of short-term workers to help harvest fruits, fish and shrimp, and lotus roots, and it will be enough. ”

Mingtang scratched his head, okay, he thought about it.

Mingdi quietly patted his third brother on the back, don't be embarrassed, your father and your eldest brother didn't understand this at first, thanks to your second brother and your niece, both of whom have studied and seen the world, and taught us all by hand, and soon taught us all.

Thinking about the three days spent in the Zhuangzi, Mingdi felt that he had really made too much progress, not only learned from his niece how to use the mountains and ponds to make money, but also learned from his second brother and niece how to manage the grange and how to recognize and manage people.

He thought that he would probably never forget how his little niece cheered him up on the night Zhuangzi bought it, "Uncle, you are the eldest son, you have to stand up and support our family." My father is soft, my third uncle is detached and naïve, only you are calm and careful, and you are a good candidate. ”

He still remembers the delicate face of his second brother, and he doesn't know how his little niece is so bold and dares to comment on his father's "soft nature" in front of his own father.

"And it's time for our workshop to open." Mingdi was secretly slandering his little niece, and Mingyue talked about other things, "Now that our family has no money, the workshop can't be built, I think we might as well use the old house first." ”

Mingtang reminded his niece, "Isn't the old house planted with out-of-season greens?" Are you going to move the greens to your new house? ”

Mingyue shook her head, "I only use the stove room and the barn, and the rooms where the vegetables were originally planted should be what they should be." However, I think we can plant vegetables in the two rooms behind the new house, and our family is not short of firewood now. As for the old house, I want to open a soy product workshop in the backyard, and a vermicelli workshop in the front yard. ”

Old Man Ming agreed after a little thought, "Do you have anything to add?" If you have one, ask your uncle tomorrow and they will buy it for you. ”

"Just add a stone mill to make soy products and vermicelli. But you have to ask my dad to help me build a shed, in case it rains or snows, we will continue to use this stone mill. ”

"Then the boss will go to the town to buy a stone mill, and the second and third will follow me to build a shed tomorrow." Old Man Ming said and turned his gaze to Mingyue, "What are your plans for this manpower to make soy products and vermicelli?" ”

"You can ask a few trusted aunts to help, and you have to be clean and tight-mouthed. Then let them help clean, slice and grind the beans, and the key process has to be our own family. Mingyue said as she said and divided the work among the people in the family, "My grandmother, my mother, and my sister-in-law are responsible for the soy products, and the vermicelli workshop will be handed over to my third aunt and my eldest aunt." ”

Old Man Ming nodded, "Then you have to be careful not to let other people steal the school, this is a great ability to make children and grandchildren have food." ”

Mingyue nodded on the side and agreed, "Especially my mother, don't let people watch you work without being open, whether he is a relative or a neighbor, as long as he wants to steal our family's craftsmanship, then he is not kind to our family." People are not kind to our family, you can't still care about relatives. ”

Tao's face couldn't hold it, she glanced at her daughter, "Your mother is soft, and she is not lacking in heart." ”

Mingyue grinned, "Aren't I afraid that you will be too honest?" Don't you know, those people with bad hearts, they only look for people who are kind and care about their relatives. ”

Tao was immediately coaxed by her to turn angry into joy, and Mrs. Ming shook her head helplessly and amusemently-her second daughter-in-law, thanks to giving birth to such a shrewd and thoughtful girl as Mingyue, otherwise people would have to eat all the bones and dregs.

In the past, the family was poor, and it was not obvious that there were not so many people making up their minds, but now that the Ming family has many secrets, Tao's character is very sad.

This is why she always looks at Tao without a trace under her nose or Mingyue, Xie, and Zhou.
