Hearing Zhang Shangqi say this, Xiao Manmao suddenly opened, and the things that had been entangled and difficult were completely answered at this moment.

Since the last time the king asked the shopkeeper He to sign a contract with Huali, the cotton clothes recovered from Lao Qin were quickly sold out, and Huali took advantage of the situation to take back the clothes of the rest of the stores, and the supply of three hundred cotton clothes exceeded demand, and the price was getting higher and higher.

It can be seen that these people can spend so much money to buy clothes, presumably there are still people in Canglan who like Donglan's clothing and embroidery, in this case, if Zhang Shangqi's method is implemented, the result must be better than posting notices all over the street.

After thinking about it, Xiao Man was overjoyed, "Master Zhang, your method is really good!" I didn't think of that before! ”

"The county lord praises it, in fact, I didn't come up with this method." Zhang Shangqi touched his chin a little embarrassed and said.

"Oh?" Xiao Man became more and more curious, "Then who came up with this method?" ”

As soon as he asked this, Zhang Shangqi rarely showed a little shyness, he looked away from everyone's eyes and coughed lightly, and said: "Actually, my wife bought clothes in Hao Yixuan, and found that Donglan's embroidery method is very different from ours, because she likes it very much, so she always wants to learn it, but there is no one who knows this kind of embroidery in Canglan, so she can only give up." Now I happened to meet the county lord who wanted to recruit students, so I came up with this method. ”

Speaking of which, it turned out that Zhang Shangqi himself had similar thoughts, so when he heard that Xiao Man was distressed, he gave such an appropriate idea.

Thinking that this Zhang Shangqi is about forty years old, presumably Mrs. Zhang and him should be about the same age, if the other party really wants to learn, it is okay.

Thinking of this, Xiao Man nodded, and Ying Ying smiled: "Thank you Lord Zhang for your advice, I will let people go to Hao Yixuan and inform them later." However, the class I set up is for others to teach on her behalf, and since Mrs. Zhang really wants to learn, it is better to come to my house from time to time, and I can also teach her personally. ”

"Thank you, Lord!"

After saying this, the three of them discussed the matter of the suburban greenhouse again, and it was not early in the morning that the two of them went home.

And Xiaoman went to the study again and began to re-prepare for the start of the class, but it happened that she had just called Wang Youhe, and the little guy who had been sent to Hao Yixuan to inform the shopkeeper He of the lecture was also back.

didn't care to answer Wang Youhe's confusion, Xiao Man hurriedly asked, "How is it, what did Shopkeeper He say?" ”

"Madame, rest assured, Shopkeeper He agrees with this matter very much, and has already informed many guests, and everyone is very curious, and they have signed up." As he spoke, the little guy took out the list written by Shopkeeper He from his arms, and after presenting it, he continued: "This is the person who has signed up so far, Shopkeeper He asked me to hand it over to you." ”

After taking the list, Xiaoman was really taken aback.

These are the names of the mansions of the rich and noble families in the city, there are high-ranking officials and nobles, there are also ordinary rich and noble families, and there are no less than three people in each mansion who want to learn embroidery, and the most is even seven or eight, and there are more than 50 people on this list alone.

Although Wang Youhe on the side didn't know what was going on, she was also frightened by so many people on the list, "Sister Xiaoman, are there really so many people who want to come to the house to study?" This... Isn't this a bit too much, can we fit so many people in our house? ”

Hit by the number of students again and again before, Wang Youhe now feels that it will not be easy even if he can get together ten people, but now there are more than fifty, and listening to the tone of this little guy, there will be people coming one after another......

"Now that there are more people here, it's time for us to pick up the previous standards again." As he spoke, Xiaoman put down the list, found a piece of paper in the cabinet on the side, and introduced: "This is a requirement I made when I first recruited students, but there were too few people recruited later, so this requirement was useless." ”

Xiaoman returned to his seat and sat down, unfolding the paper, "Now it's okay, now that there are more people here, we can also select students well, besides, even if everyone agrees with the conditions, we don't lack embroidery girls in class, right?" ”

Those embroidery girls in the backyard have also lived for a lot of time, and now let them do this, saving time and effort, and being respected, this shouldn't be a mess back to Donglan, right?

"There are people, but what about the venue?" Wang Youhe pursed her lips, looked at the requirements and conditions above, and said: "In case we can really select more than 100 people in the end, it's nothing for us to work hard to teach, but there is not such a big place, and there is not so much embroidery." ”

"Don't worry, I have my own way to solve it." Xiaoman handed the paper to Wang Youhe and raised his eyebrows, "Okay, you first select students according to this standard, and then tell me when everyone is selected, and I will arrange the follow-up things." ”

Wang Youhe took the paper full of requirements and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go and get busy with this first." ”

Sent Wang Youhe away, Xiao Man pondered the details of the lesson alone in the study, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the tiredness and sleepiness of running around for a few days also swept in, she couldn't stand it and yawned, so she went to rest.

Although the vegetables in the county lord's mansion have not yet grown completely, because everything is developing in a smooth direction, it can be seen that the method proposed by Xiaoman to grow vegetables in the greenhouse can indeed be implemented.

Therefore, after the greenhouse in the suburbs was completely built, Xiaoman began to prepare for the greenhouse in the suburbs to grow vegetables.

When he arrived at the suburban greenhouse prepared by Zhang Shangqi and others, Xiao Man couldn't help but be a little surprised, because the place where the suburban greenhouse was located was only a village away from the place where Lu Li lived. In other words, the two can live together again from now on.

After realizing this, Xiao Man did not delay for a moment, and after looking at the greenhouse, he took a carriage to the place where Lu Li lived.

The village separated by the two was not big, and it was not even as good as the people who lived in a certain neighborhood in Shangjing, and Lu Li already lived on the outermost edge of the village, so the carriage quickly arrived at the place where Lu Li lived.

The place where Lu Li lives is an extremely ordinary farmhouse courtyard, there are a total of five small houses, surrounded by a bamboo fence wall outside, and a few ordinary farm tools are placed in the corner of the yard.

It's just very unfortunate that Lu Li didn't know that Xiao Man was coming today, so he went up the mountain to hunt early in the morning, leaving Xiao Qi to guard the hares and pheasants outside the garden.

"Madame!" Xiao Qi, who was wandering around with a weed in his mouth, hurriedly greeted him, and spit out the grass in his mouth sideways, a little surprised: "Why is Madam here?" Is there something going on? The master went up to the mountains early in the morning to hunt, and he hasn't come back yet! ”

Xiao Man coughed lightly, with a soft smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's okay, I'll wait for him for a while." ”

Now this season is the warmest month compared to Canglan, and of course, it is also the most active time for wild animals in the mountains, so it is no wonder that Lu Li will enter the mountains early in the morning.

As she spoke, she leaned over and looked at the garden behind Xiao Qi, raised her eyebrows, and was slightly surprised: "This garden is so well cleaned up, and a fence has been added around it, is this fence also made by you yourself?" ”

The last time I visited, the garden was full of weeds and garbage, but now that I look at it, there is already a faint prototype of a breeding garden.

The pheasants were still kept in large wooden cages, while the hares were kept in the garden, and a strong fence was added around them, presumably because they were afraid that the rabbits would escape.

"This is all taught by the master to do, and it will be done in half a day, how about it, it's amazing." When he spoke, Xiao Qi's smug emotions couldn't be hidden, his mouth was full of pride, and he was even more appreciative when he mentioned Lu Lilai, making Xiao Man laugh and laugh.

Xiao Qi is young and speaks a little unscrupulously, but he knows how to be measured, which also makes Xiao Qi, who is a little unscrupulous, more sincere and likable.

After talking for a while, Xiaoman got down to business: "I heard that these pheasants have begun to hatch chicks, where are those chickens?" It doesn't freeze outside, does it? ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qi immediately opened the chatterbox, and said a lot of things, the approximate content of which was how surprised they were when they found that pheasants began to hatch eggs, and how the first person to find out was ecstatic, Balabala said it, and finally said excitedly: "Madame wants to see it?" I'll take you there! ”

"Okay, you lead the way first."

Under the leadership of Xiao Qi, Xiao Man, Pearl and the others walked straight to the hut where Lu Li lived, entered the courtyard, and walked to the smallest and most middle room, Xiao Qi carefully opened the door a crack, and said, "That hen is here to hatch eggs." ”

There was only one charcoal fire in the house, but it was enough to maintain the temperature, and the pheasant was already adapted to the local environment, so there was nothing wrong with it.

It's just that now the hen is hatching eggs, and Lu Li specially ordered not to disturb people, so even if it is like Xiaoman, Xiao Qi does not dare to open it, and can only expose a slit for Xiao Man to look inside.

Xiao Man didn't care about these details, she walked over quietly, squinted half her eyes and looked into the crack in the door, and really saw the pheasant that had been sitting on the thatch, the pheasant was concentrating on incubating the eggs, and was not disturbed by the outside world.

Seeing this, Xiao Man quietly retreated out of the door, instructed Xiao Qi to close the door, and asked, "How long does it take for this chicken to hatch chicks, Xiao Qi, do you know?" ”

I thought that Xiao Qi, a secret guard, a child who danced with knives and swords, and accompanied by hidden weapons, should not know these things, but unexpectedly, after hearing this question, Xiao Qi was full of interest and said: "The master said that it will hatch in less than half a month." ”
