There are competitors selling vegetables in Emster City, and even the monopoly of selling bean sprouts in Four Seasons has been broken, Stuart is worried, but Liu Ci does not pay much attention to it.

There are so many ideas to make money, not to mention anything else, as long as she uses the growth charm to vigorously promote birth, ordinary businessmen, what means do they have to compete with her?

A few zigzag plows worked incessantly, the cattle and horses were tired and thin, and the thousands of acres of uncultivated land in the valley were finally turned over.

At this time, it was late March, and the wheat and peas in Liu Ci's manor had been planted, and more than a dozen acres of vegetable fields had been opened.

Winemaking grape varieties don't need to be climbed like ornamental varieties, so Liu Ci plans to use "trellis planting" to reserve space for vine seedlings to grow, and 300 seedlings can be planted on one acre of land. With Stuhl's help, nearly 100,000 seedlings were also transported back one after another, and the vine seedlings cut from the main branches were not valuable, but the manpower and energy spent on the road were more, and Liu Ci did not spend a total of 10,000 gold coins on the vine seedlings filled with glass greenhouses.

For a tea plantation planted on 20 acres of tea plantations, the cost of grape vine seedlings is completely small.

100,000 vine seedlings, covering an area of more than 300 acres. Liu Ci asked people to plant on the northern slopes first, and the first batch of grape seedlings brought back when the greenhouse was first built grew particularly robust, cultivated in small clay pots, and nine out of ten must have taken root and sprouted to survive.

Mainlanders are good at wine, civilians have two spare money to buy beer as a drink, and those who have a little money drink wine, all countries have places to grow grapes, and the technology of growing food in the Magic Continent is very rookie, but like the "mathematics" that has been deformed and developed because of the magic scroll, the technology of grape cultivation is a standout.

Two-thirds of the hired workers with 50 family members had come into contact with grapes before, and Liu Ci only had to say that it was appropriate for them to plant grapes.

Fifty strong men, half of whom went out to dig ditches, and twenty and thirty women, and a dozen half-grown children who were able to work, went back and forth to Beishan, slowly transplanting the grape seedlings cultivated in the glass greenhouse. In late March, the energetic vine seedlings have begun to sprout and draw new leaves, and on the brown vines, a few grape leaves the size of a baby's palm are waving in the wind, and everyone who grows them is careful.

Liu Ci himself led the remaining women to start planting the flowers that were raised in the glass greenhouse last year.

Tulips prefer sunny climates with cool and dry winters, and are perennial flowers. If it weren't for Liu Ci's greenhouse technology, there would really be no way to try it out in Emster's climate. After a winter of management, the flower bulbs buried in small clay pots have begun to sprout and pull leaves, and since it loves light and prefers sandy soil with strong drainage and ventilation, Liu Ci decided to plant tulips on the buffer zone between the snow canal and the valley. When it blooms, a sea of flowers swayes before you enter the valley, and the scenery must be extremely beautiful.

Under the catalysis of the greenhouse, the original autumn planting bulbs can also be planted, no wonder the old old saying "science and technology is the primary productive force".

Seeing that the women buried the flower bulbs, and the remaining sprouting leaves were exposed, Liu Ci sighed.

After tulips, there are baby daisies, then lavender.

Layer by layer stretches into the manor, lavender followed by roses. The rose seedlings placed in the Birth Talisman Array not only exceeded Liu Ci's expectations, but also surprised her with the health of the flower seedlings. In a clay pot, there are always seven or eight seeds that have successfully germinated, and the flower seedlings that are crowded together are not particularly slender, they are already almost two feet tall.

Looking at it this way, because of the birth of the rune array, the roses will not be able to bloom until next year.

It's just that with divine sense, the seemingly robust flower seedlings are full of vitality, but they lack some confidence, although the effect is fast, it always hurts the root of the flower seedlings, and the flower age of this batch of rose plants should be reduced by at least two or three years.

After transplanting roses, there are more than a dozen acres of sunflowers, planted in the innermost, and when the flowers bloom, from the outside to the inside, the layers of flowers do not interfere with each other and reflect each other, Liu Ci wiped the sweat on his forehead, and he was looking forward to the flowering period in a few months.

"Miss, when the flowers bloom, there will be no such beautiful manor in the whole of Amster."

The spring sun is easy to dry out on people's faces, Liu Ci wants to stay in the field and nod, and Sang Man holds an umbrella for her to shade the sun according to Nana's instructions.

Nana handed water and handkerchiefs from time to time, and the two maids served diligently, but the leisurely Liu Ci was lined up like a big dog daughter who didn't know the hardships of the people's livelihood.

Nana saw that Sang Man's eyes were shallow, and laughed at her: "Which aristocratic family doesn't plant flowers in the garden?" The ladies and ladies who came and went had a treat, and the noble ladies wore court skirts and held floral silk umbrellas, and they always had to go around the garden to be considered a successful banquet. ”

Sanman, however, grew up in Emster, and had never seen the prosperity of other parishes, and listened to Nana talk about the true aristocratic style, and her heart was very yearning. But Nana treated him well, Xiao Nizi became bolder, and asked Liu Ci quietly if what Nana said was true.

Liu Ci sneered, "Your young lady is a countryman, and the aristocratic style in the city has not been learned." If you want me to say, in the future, there will be a variety of fruit trees in the manor, and in the spring, peach, plum, apricot blossom and so on will compete for beauty; In summer, two water pavilions are built in Lintang, and the pond is full of lotus flowers by leaning on the pavilion; In autumn, I scalded wine, enjoyed chrysanthemums and ate crabs; In winter, it is better to have a plum grove, and when the snow falls, set up two iron shelves and eat freshly roasted venison...... It's not as good as the aristocracy, isn't it okay to live comfortably? ”

Nana smacked her tongue, this is not particular, compared with the scene Liu Ci said, the nobles of Rhine City seem to be vulgar!

Samman pestered Liu Ci to ask what a peach and plum was, then a lotus, and three times what a "crab" was.

The spring ploughing on the manor was carried out in an orderly manner, and Liu Ci was in a good mood, so he answered the detailed descriptions one by one, and the two maids were stunned when they heard it. The subtle and low-key beauty of Chinese civilization, not to mention Sanman, who grew up in a barren pastoral area, or Nana, who was educated and raised by a maid, all felt a huge impact.

Under Liu Ci's supervision, the people in the manor were in full swing.

In the first year, she had to take care of everything when the foundation was laid, the flowers were planted, and the planting of the vineyard was nearing completion.

There is also a small pond of half an acre in size by the bamboo forest behind Liu Ci's small building. The small pond was filled with water, most of which was spiritual spring water that Liu Ci had mixed in. More than a dozen lotus seeds were lost under the pond, except that the fish and shrimp fry had not been purchased, the clear water waves were rippling on the edge of the bamboo forest, and the lotus flowers had not yet sprouted, and it seemed that the scenery had a rough outline.

In addition to the extensive irrigation ditches, this year's planting plan is basically complete.

After planting hundreds of fruit seedlings one after another, Liu Ci assigned the orchard to Aunt Mace for management. The vegetable greenhouse is in charge of Kerry Blatter's mother, the brick pottery kiln factory is in charge of Harvey, and there is also a steward on the vineyard side.

Liu Ci said early that all managers get three times the salary, and the selected people are afraid of losing their positions, so they dare not do their best to be responsible.

"Miss, there is plenty of grass outside the valley, so we really don't raise more livestock?"

When March arrived, the snow had melted and the grass sprouts were all running high, and the valley was far away from the city of Emster, not a traditional herdsman's activity zone, and the old steward James felt very sorry when he saw the vast area of unowned mounds and meadows outside the valley.

Liu Ci knew that in addition to regretting the pasture, he was probably also worried about the lack of agricultural fertilizer in the manor, and asked if there was any money left in the account, so he took out a part of it and bought two hundred lambs, calves, and ponies, and simply mentioned Hansen as the foreman of the herding.

There was not much gold left in the accounts, and the people in the manor also went about their own business, and the valley was running normally every day, and Liu Ci, who was idle, found that he had become a poor ghost again.

"Poor ghost Liu" realized that he had just found out that the glass greenhouse after the seedlings were vacated could not bring benefits immediately, and he did not say that he would check the bottom of his competitors, and the other party came to find the bad luck of "Four Seasons Fresh".

Don't talk about Stuart, even Liu Ci can't help it this time. Relying on the output of the greenhouse, the vegetables that Liu Ci and Stull could supply were not as good as each other, and the bean sprouts were cracked by someone to steal the market with malicious price cuts, and Stull was already angry.

Liu Ci, who was short of money, was about to ask someone to withdraw the dividends of the snack shop, but after receiving the news, someone reached out to the snack shop.

Daring to grab food in her bowl is arrogant enough, and Liu Ci is really annoyed when she hears that there is a vicious incident of collective poisoning among people who eat in the store.

"Nana, let someone match the car, I'm going to the city."

Nana quickly grabbed her skirt and ran out.

Her own young lady was obviously smiling, and there seemed to be a fire in her eyes, I don't know which person who didn't know whether she was alive or dead had angered Miss Ci.

The carriage was ready, Liu Ci took off the giant sword that had not been used for a long time and threw it into the carriage, and the smashing of the carriage made a loud noise, and the groom was frightened.

Liu Ci ordered some talismans in the lotus pond space, there are some of the five element talismans, and there are all kinds of talismans that are extremely boring and have different effects, because of the lack of yellow paper, most of them have been accumulated before, and they have rarely drawn new talismans in the past two months.

Liu Ci was not very satisfied with this, and held two new talismans drawn overnight in his sleeve to make a four-wheeled carriage heading for Amster City.

…………

At the entrance of the Beicheng Farmers' Market, the door of the "Four Seasons Fresh Snack Shop", which has been crowded with customers in the past two months, is closed at noon.

People in and out of the farmer's market were pointing and talking about the seals affixed to the doorways.

The clerks didn't know what to do, but outside the store, there was a group of family members of customers who claimed to have eaten Four Seasons fresh tofu and had poisoned their heads. Sturt Garland was smiling all over his face, trying to calm everyone down, these usually scared civilians didn't know whether they were angry or supported by unknown external forces, and now they were emotional, and they couldn't listen to it at all.

Stuart said he wanted to pay compensation? They scolded him as a profiteer, saying that the four seasons had no regard for human life.

Stuart said he was going to ask the Holy See priests to heal the "poisoned", and someone tried to put him in the middle of nowhere. Dozens of blue-faced patients were lying on the ground with a languid face, apparently symptomatic of poisoning.

There was a lot of noise as a team of patrol guards dispersed the crowd.

Before Stull could rejoice, they took out the chain shackles.

"Boss Garland, your shop has poisoned many people, and the city lord has ordered us to take you back and lock you up first!"

The crowd was silent and let out a boiling cheer, all words in praise of the city lord.
