The old man was happy all day long, and he seemed to be a threatless old man, Liu Ci never ignored the gleam in the other party's eyes when he first met. He wandered around the village all day long, and the hired workers had very tight mouths, and there were some things they didn't know about, so how could they leak them?

So Liu Ci didn't take care of her too much, but she couldn't cultivate at night for the time being, and she was still doing other things.

Her physical skills have always been mistaken for "vindictiveness", and she doesn't have to shy away from it in front of people.

On the way to practice, as the saying goes, "practice three nines in winter, practice three dogs in summer", that is not the slightest slack.

"Thirty-nine" is from the nineteenth day to the twenty-seventh day from the winter solstice, for the coldest weather in winter, "three dogs" is divided into the beginning, middle and end, about mid-July to mid-August this time, dog days day is longer than night, every day the ground absorbs more heat than emitted, the temperature near the ground is higher day by day, so "three dogs" is the hottest time in summer.

Amster's January, according to the solar terms of ancient China, is the "39" day.

Scooping a cup of hot water into the air and falling to the ground turned into ice slag, Liu Ci got up almost early with the stock workers every day, and when they were working, she was practicing physical skills.

In the ice and snow, Liu Ci ordered people to erect many wooden stakes.

The high and low staggered wooden stakes are not disorderly standing, their arrangement is secretly in line with the gossip, the pattern of the cloth pile is varied, and it is collectively called the "plum blossom pile", which was originally mastered by the ancient martial arts family, the Liu family is powerful, and naturally collects a lot of "private goods" everywhere, and the plum blossom pile is one of them.

There are five potentials such as the big trend, homeopathic trend, bad trend, small potential, and defeat potential, and the routine is five certain shapes, and its potential is like flowing clouds and water, changeable, but fast and not chaotic, it is specially made for the "plum blossom fist", before the new era, the ancient martial arts will gradually decline, after the new era of the Earth Federation, it is easy to practice the ancient martial arts for decades to see results, and where can it be faster than learning physical combat after injecting the genetic evolution liquid? Therefore, at the beginning of the new era, during the turmoil of more than two hundred years, many ancient martial arts were completely decayed, and plum blossom boxing was completely lost.

The plum blossom pile restored by the Liu family is just used to exercise the lower plate and the body.

Seeing Liu Ci jumping down from a high wooden stake with beads of sweat, Nana hurriedly handed over a hot handkerchief. In the ice and snow, Liu Ci's head was steaming, but the handkerchief given by Nana carefully wiped her face, and she inadvertently glanced aside.

The old man is really cheeky.

Before, she was only interested in the things of the villa, but now she is exercising in the morning, and the old man is also holding little Harvey and a few children by the side. It seems that he can't stay any longer......

"Miss, the hot water for bathing is ready, hurry back, I'm going to get sick if I wear wet clothes." Nana chirped. The lively Nana is different from the silent Amy, her concern for Liu Ci is often clearly audible on her lips, and although her temperament is less calm, she is also simple and lovely.

Liu Ci nodded, and the little Harvey who followed the old man looked at her with a blank eye, his eyes lingering on the plum blossom pile.

She was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that it was not surprising that children who had no entertainment activities would be interested in plum blossom piles, or rather, they were interested in "physical arts"?

Liu Ci thought about it, ignored the old man who was spinning around the plum blossom pile, and followed Nana back to the room.

Hot water was prepared in the large wooden barrel, and Amy was throwing dried petals into it. Liu Ci stretched out her hand to scoop up the sun-dried roses and daisies, and her heart moved, "The rich man of Emster, he likes to bathe with flower petals?" ”

"Yes, young lady, when I was at the inn, I heard from other guests that Emster had a hot weather and ate meat all year round, and many ladies and ladies disliked the smell of sweat, and in addition to covering them with spices, they would also put flower petals when bathing, and these dried flowers were also purchased in the city at that time."

Nana Nu mouthed: "There is no unpleasant smell of sweat on Miss's body." ”

Liu Ci smiled, because of her physique and diet, even if she sweated profusely, she did not smell the smell.

"In addition to growing vegetables, flowers are also very profitable."

Liu Ci was a little moved, flowers can not only be used as a decoration landscape, dried flowers can be used as spices, and fragrant varieties like roses are also good for refining flower dew, and the ladies of Amster should like this kind of thing very much. She can't make perfume, but she can try it, there are several ancient recipes on "Qi Min's New Edition", and any rouge paste is impressively listed.

Nana's eyes widened, "Miss, do you still grow flowers?" ”

Her own young lady is too capable, if she is not free, I am afraid that the gardener who stays in the Rhine City to look after the house will be unemployed.

Liu Ci soaked in the barrel and snorted, he can only talk on paper, is it considered to be a seed? Another day, remember to let people go to the city to bring some flower seeds back, the valley area is large to run horses, there is no shortage of two flower fields, if the precious flowers are not good to feed in the open air, and so on the economic turnover, build a few more glass greenhouses.

Today, when the snow was clear, Stull rode a horse to find Liu Ci.

His family's greenhouse is also not badly built, and now he has to come to the valley every two days, according to him, he knows the boss, only to know that farming is also so exquisite. Stuart himself is a knowledgeable young man, seeing Liu Ci use the greenhouse to grow vegetables in winter, he immediately recognized the benefits inside, and after obtaining Liu Ci's permission, he learned "technology" very carefully.

Seeing him coming, Liu Ci invited him to go to the greenhouse together.

Pushing open the door and entering, Stull only felt that the temperature inside was too high, but there was no stuffiness as he imagined.

Faced with his doubts, Liu Ci pointed to the glass windows that were open on the wall and said: "I just changed my breath today, and plants and people have to breathe, and they are always not ventilated, and they will suffocate to death." ”

Stull nodded subconsciously, and then his face was black.

Plants also want to breathe? It's the first time he's heard this, but the boss says yes, yes, she says the moon is flat, that's flat. Woohoo lament, the young man is gradually evolving into a brainless fan.

Stuart looked up and saw a lush green in the brightly lit glass greenhouse, which was particularly precious and gratifying when he thought of the ice and snow beyond the wall.

From the emergence of seedlings to the present, there is also a month, the cabbage has grown large leaves, the spinach is neat, and the celery is tender and tender...... All the stems and leaves that can be harvested in a short time, Liu Ci has let people plant, the temperature and moisture are enough, and under sufficient fattening, the growth of vegetables has not disappointed her.

After looking at several greenhouses for growing vegetables, Stuart couldn't help but nod: "Boss, can these vegetables be sold?" It's a pity that I didn't plant with you earlier, and the first wave of vegetables can't catch up. ”

Liu Ci seemed to smile, "Your vision can't be limited to a limited land, people have to do what they are good at." ”

Seeing that Stull was concentrating, she continued: "In the future, all the goods in my manor will be handed over to you to operate, and how others take commissions will be as usual." ”

Stuart hurriedly waved his hand: "Boss, you are laughing." ”

Liu Ci said: "You can make a discount, but you can't not accept it." We will cooperate for a long time in the future, and we must set the rules at the beginning, and you can take this batch of vegetables to practice first. ”

Stull smiled bitterly: "Boss, why do you have to calculate so clearly, according to this, shouldn't I first return the gold coins you issued for the mercenary mission?" ”

Liu Ci blinked: "What mercenary mission?" You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense...... "Everyone knows that she did it, and she goes around shouting that the vineyard of the Marquis of Strave was burned by her, and it is not low-key at all."

Stuart didn't choke on anything to say.

Liu Ci discussed with him and completely entrusted the matter of the vegetables to Stuhl.

He rode to the city of Amster that afternoon, and in the evening he saw no man, and came back the next afternoon with a tired face.

"Boss, organize people to harvest and transport a batch to the city first."

The valley was not far from the city of Amster, and it took half a day to ride a horse, and it only took one day and one night for Stull to prepare well, and it took not a little bit of energy.

The little cabbage is left in the ground, it can continue to grow, and it can grow in a circle in a few days in the greenhouse. Spinach can be harvested in its entirety, it grows very quickly, and it is only a few days of fresh and tender food. Celery is treated the same as bok choy, and some mint leaves are also harvested.

Seven glass greenhouses, because they are multi-layer planting, have about 14 or 5 acres of land. Except for the cucumbers, loofahs, and other vegetables planted in clay pots, which were still not plucked by vines, the women were light on their hands and feet, and by the time it was dark, the first vegetables had been harvested, all neatly loaded on the wagon, covered with thick cloth, and dragged to the city of Emster overnight.

Tomorrow morning, these out-of-season vegetables will be placed on the shelves arranged by Stuhl, waiting for the buyer to move them away.

Liu Ci has not yet discussed the distribution of benefits with Stull, and running is a very time-consuming matter, since she has made up her mind to hand it over to Stull, she will let it go completely.

Regardless of the time and space, the modus operandi of business is very similar. Buy low and sell high, scarce is expensive, hoarding goods, speculation, etc., in Rhine City, she has seen all kinds of daily utensils shops, in addition to not paying attention to agriculture, the development of commerce has reached a height, in the field that she is not good at, Liu Ci will never interject indiscriminately.

Stull pulled a cart of vegetables and left.

The people of the villa were full of confidence in Liu Ci, and they all believed that fresh vegetables that were hard to find in Emster would sell for a good price. From the construction of the shed to the harvest, it has only been more than a month, and Liu Ci's vision seems to have made a good start for the future development of the villa.

The tender spinach was harvested, and the butler James organized the replanting.

Liu Ci asked people to sort out one of the greenhouses, and she was going to plant some flowers and put them into the market to test the water.

Stuart and James agreed with this idea, one old and one young, one was good at business, and the other was not opposed to many old prejudices, and Liu Ci had a lot more confidence in his proposal.

What should I plant?

Liu Ci held her cheeks and pondered, famous flowers are in the city, some flowers and trees have to be carefully cultivated for several years or even longer before they can see benefits, she doesn't have that patience, like a peony with a real national color, the aesthetics of the magic continent may not be appreciated. Thinking of the dried roses and daisies that Amy sprinkled in the bath tub, it seems safer?
