Chapter 216: Breeding
Liu Meiniang went to the suburbs of Zhuangzi to inspect the next day.
The climate in Zhuangzi in the suburbs is not bad, the carriage stopped on the ridge, Zhang Jihan jumped down, and then Liu Meiniang came out of the carriage and glanced around, everywhere was a piece of emerald green.
"Ma'am."
"Second master."
As soon as Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan got off the carriage, a group of people in Zhuangzi surrounded them.
Zhang Jilin had already sent someone to tell them, Liu Meiniang would come to see Zhuangzi, knowing that it was the master who was coming, and these people were also very attentive.
"Get up." Liu Meiniang said lightly.
"Madam, second master, these fifty acres of land are all properties under the name of the master, including some surrounding houses and villages, the ground is just going to be sown this year, what suggestions does the second master have?" A man who looked like a steward walked beside Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jilin and explained, Liu Meiniang nodded with satisfaction after listening, which was exactly what she wanted.
"How many people are there in Zhuangzi?" Liu Meiniang asked.
"Mrs. Hui, counting the cooks and husbands, there are forty-six people in total." The man in charge was obviously familiar with this place.
"What do you call a steward?" Zhang Jihan asked.
"Don't dare to be, madam, the second master's subordinate surname is Fang."
"Steward Fang, I really want to trouble you with this matter." Liu Meiniang's heart moved.
"Madame, please." Steward Fang listened.
"After you go down today, divide these people in the Zhuangzi, probably into literate and illiterate, I have my own use, and what will be planted in the Zhuangzi this year, I will write a letter and hand it over later, and when you divide these people, come to the house and tell me about it." Liu Meiniang also came to the capital to open a supermarket, and there are not many people at hand at the moment, she just glanced at the people in Zhuangzi, and they all seem to be loyal and honest, and they can be used.
"Mrs. Hui, there are a total of eighteen literate people in Zhuangzi, including his subordinates, twelve men and six women. The subordinates have already made it clear. After Liu Meiniang finished speaking, Manager Fang said without hurry.
Hearing Steward Fang's words, Liu Meiniang raised her eyebrows in surprise, has it already been divided?
"The subordinates knew that Mrs. had opened a supermarket in Qingshi County before, and they also went to ask, opening a supermarket should be a literate person, so the subordinates have already distinguished the people in Zhuangzi in advance, which ones are suitable to go to the supermarket to help, and which ones continue to stay in Zhuangzi to farm." Seeing Liu Meiniang's surprised face, Steward Fang continued to explain.
After listening to Steward Fang's explanation, Liu Meiniang glanced at this steward in her heart, and was able to think so thoughtfully, which was really unexpected by Liu Meiniang.
"There's a labor manager." Liu Meiniang was obviously satisfied.
"Don't dare to do it, it's a matter of duty." Steward Fang bowed his head and thanked him.
Liu Meiniang asked the others to go down first to do their own work, and she took Zhang Jihan and Steward Fang to take a walk in the Zhuangzi.
From time to time, he squatted on the ground and twisted up the dirt to take a look. Liu Meiniang is discerning whether this place is suitable for growing vegetables, but fortunately, the geology is very good. Further ahead is the foot of the mountain, there is a small stream with a good scale at the foot of the mountain here, Liu Meiniang is happy, this can simply move the planting model of the mountain behind Liuhe Village, and can raise fish, grow trees and silkworms, and raise chickens, of course, it is better.
"Steward Fang, from tomorrow, everyone in Zhuangzi may have to work hard, I need you to fence this land and fence it all." Liu Meiniang pointed to the dozens of acres of fertile land in front of her, until the foot of the mountain not far away.
"Yes, ma'am." Although Steward Fang didn't know what Liu Meiniang was going to do, he still obeyed Liu Meiniang's wishes.
"In addition, this section of the land through which the news flows, you can help me circle it, make it bigger, and make it a fish pond." Liu Meiniang continued to settle here.
Steward Fang nodded frequently.
The explanation was basically finished, and Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan got into the carriage and went to another Zhuangzi.
I have to say that Emperor Changping is very big, and the Zhuangzi fertile fields and other courtyards that were rewarded to Zhang Jirin are not bad.
Liu Meiniang looked at these properties that belonged to her family, and her smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, who made Liu Meiniang have some attributes of a little wealth fan.
The other Zhuangzi and the land are completely different from the one where the previous steward is located.
This area was originally used to grow rice, and it is a rice field that can be seen as far as the eye can see. Now on the edge of the rice field, Liu Meiniang fell into deep thought.
"Sister-in-law, we can only continue to grow rice in our rice fields." Although Zhang Jihan also expects Liu Meiniang to come up with some new planting ideas, this Zhuangzi is very different from the previous one, and it must not be able to follow the previous method.
"We want to continue growing rice, but we will change the way." Liu Meiniang's eyes lit up, and she remembered the method of raising fish in the rice field she saw on TV in her previous life, so that the rice also grew well, the fish were fat, and she could also raise crabs and lobsters in it, but in this time and space, she had only seen prawns. Haven't seen a lobster yet.
Thinking of this, Liu Meiniang was excited, and it was a good way to make a fortune.
Zhang Jihan looked at Liu Meiniang like this, and knew that Liu Meiniang had her own ideas, so she didn't ask much, just listened to her sister-in-law.
After looking at the three suburban Zhuangzi and fields, Liu Meiniang was satisfied.
The two returned to the carriage, and a housekeeper was standing by the carriage.
This housekeeper's surname is Yang, she is an old man left behind before the palace, and the princess was specially served before, although Liu Meiniang knows a lot, but just came to the capital, Liu Meiniang is still confused about many things, fortunately, with Mama Yang's mention, Liu Meiniang will not be in a hurry and at a loss.
"Madam, there are several shops in our capital, and they will all go around on the way back?" Mama Yang took out a booklet and handed it to Liu Meiniang, who nodded and took it.
These shops were also given to Zhang Jilin by Emperor Changping, and two or three were bought by Zhang Jilin himself.
Liu Meiniang glanced at it roughly, there were more than a dozen, and she was slightly surprised, when she went back, it was okay to turn around these shops, just when she was going to open a supermarket, choose a store as a supermarket, in addition, she also wanted to open a restaurant, a hot pot restaurant.
She has a lot of ideas in her mind, and she knows a lot of food, and she dares to guarantee that no one here has eaten a lot of things, the so-called scarcity is expensive, Liu Meiniang is confident that as long as her shop opens, the business will definitely not be bad.
On the way back, Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan inspected their own shop all the way, and when they walked into a jewelry store, there was a sound of quarrel inside, and the jewelry store was called Linlang Pavilion.
"Shh~" Liu Meiniang made a silent gesture towards Mama Yang, originally Mama Yang was going to come forward to report Liu Meiniang's name, but Liu Meiniang signaled Mama Yang not to speak first. A few people walked in.
"You guys are too unreasonable, the jewelry is obviously broken by you, but it is said that we sold bad jewelry, and we will return it, how can I return it to you?" A woman dressed in blue had a private anger between her eyebrows.
"It's clear that what you're selling is bad!" The woman in yellow did not give up, and there was a rebellious air on her face.
"Miss Li Er, I tried it on when you came to buy it yesterday, could it be that there was a problem when you tried it on, you didn't find it!" The woman in blue is well-founded.
"I ...... I tried it on, but it was really fine when I tried it on, but it broke when I got home, and the quality of your jewelry was not good at all. ”
The woman in blue wanted to say something, but she reached out and took the hairpin in Miss Li Er's hand from the air.
"This young lady, this hairpin is obviously broken." Liu Meiniang said with a smile.
"You are talking nonsense, it is the quality of the hairpin!" Miss Li Er flicked her sleeves and looked at Liu Meiniang's brows furrowed tightly.
"Where did you come from, be less nosy!" Miss Li Er glanced Liu Meiniang up and down, and saw that Liu Meiniang was dressed plainly, very late, and her tone was even more domineering.
Liu Meiniang also looked down at the clothes she was wearing, she was going to the suburbs to see Zhuangzi today, so she was dressed very casually, the previous sauce purple neat dress, and her hair was simply combed up. The highest ready-to-wear garments in the Caiyi Pavilion.
It's a pity that Miss Li Er doesn't know the goods and doesn't see it.
"This young lady, let's not say I'm nosy, you broke the hairpin yourself, is it really good to take it to Linlang Pavilion to slander people?" Although Liu Meiniang was smiling, the chill in her tone was self-evident.
"I'm me, I'm not falling, don't spew blood." When Miss Li Er saw Liu Meiniang's determined tone, she began to feel weak.
"The fracture of this hairpin is not flat here, there are burrs on it, if it is a problem with the quality of workmanship, the fracture should be flat and neat." Liu Meiniang showed everyone the hairpin in Miss Li Er's hand with her backhand, and everyone saw that it was so.
"Madame is right, such a break should have been accidentally broken." The woman in blue nodded and glanced at Liu Meiniang gratefully.
"You...... You talk nonsense, who knows if what you say is true or false. Miss Li Er stiffened her neck and didn't admit it.
"There is a jade shop when you go out and turn left. Ask the owner of the store to take a look, Miss Li Er, but are you sure you want to do this? Liu Meiniang looked at Miss Li Er with a smile.
"Hmph." Miss Li Er looked at the people in the store, stomped her feet and left.
"Thank you for this girl's help to break the siege, please accept Aya's worship." After Miss Li Er left, the woman in blue walked up to Liu Meiniang and bowed.
"Lan Aya, this is Mrs. General Division, this is the Second Young Master." Mama Yang covered her mouth and introduced with a smile.
Lan Aya was stunned for a moment and glanced at Liu Meiniang twice.
"Aya has met Madame and met the second young master." Hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted Liu Meiniang.
"Get up, don't be so polite." Liu Meiniang gave a hand.
After taking a serious look at Linlang Pavilion, Liu Meiniang nodded with satisfaction, the things inside were neatly arranged, and they were arranged very carefully, and the business was not bad. Seeing that Liu Meiniang seemed to be very satisfied, Lan Aya also breathed a sigh of relief. took the photo album brought by a little girl and handed it to Liu Meiniang.
"Madame, please take a look." Liu Meiniang was not afraid of life, took the photo album and sat aside and began to look at it, after all, her own business, the approximate income still needs to be known.
"What was the origin of that Miss Li Er just now?" Liu Meiniang asked on a whim.
"Madame doesn't know, this Second Miss Li is the daughter of Li Yan, a famous wealthy businessman in the capital."
Lan Aya told Liu Meiniang about Miss Li Er.
