Although the cotton grown in the first year was not enough for all the soldiers to wear cotton clothes, it was barely enough to supply the soldiers in the cold northern regions.

With the successful experience of planting cotton this year, and with high-yield grain, we can free up a lot of manpower to grow other things.

I believe that it will not take more than two years for the people and the army to put on warm cotton clothes and cover them with warm quilts in the cold winter.

Because when he received the holy decree before, the corn had not yet been harvested, and the emperor did not know how high the yield of corn was, and when the corn was sent to Beijing and saw the whole process of corn planting to harvest recorded by Lin Xiaoman, the emperor realized that corn was more valuable than sweet potatoes.

This time it was to reward the cotton she planted, and it also meant to make up for the lack of the last reward, and the four surrounding counties of Qingping County were reduced to towns and unified under the jurisdiction of Qingping County.

And Lin Xiaoman was named the Qingping group leader after being the Qingping county lord for a few months. All wasteland in Xinqingping County is managed and planted by Qingping group owners.

Thinking that the planting plan she had just formulated would be greatly adjusted after receiving this holy decree, Lin Xiaoman would inevitably have some headaches, and the management of the original land in Qingping County made her worried, and now that the management area has quadrupled, she is terrified.

Fortunately, seeing Lu Jin's reassuring gaze made her feel at ease, with Lu Jin giving her advice and managing the land, she just had to think about what to plant on the new land.

There are so many new varieties and new planting experience over there, can she still copy the homework?

Pork ribs stewed with dried beans, sauerkraut pork belly stewed vermicelli, and a spicy sauce stewed fathead fish, under the guidance of Lin Xiaoman, Xiuxiang's cooking skills have become more and more sophisticated, and the dishes made are also presentable.

Cornmeal cake, cornmeal cake tube is enough, and Fang's father-in-law is eaten again.

After drinking a large bowl of sweet and sour hawthorn water, Gonggong Fang breathed a sigh of relief, "If the county lord goes to the capital to open a restaurant, these few dishes alone can be made the first in the capital." ”

Lin Xiaoman smiled shyly, "Then how can it?" There are all capable people in the capital, and I can cook some home-cooked food, but I can't compare. ”

"Hehe, the county lord doesn't have to be presumptuous, just these dishes are delicious that our family has never tasted, not to mention better than the imperial chef in the palace, it is also a unique flavor."

Thinking of the delicious food he had just eaten, Fang's father-in-law thought of his younger brother who had opened a restaurant in the capital, if he could let these dishes appear in his brother's restaurant, he would not want to come to the restaurant like now, just to see his face before sending money.

But it was too presumptuous to bring up this matter, and he didn't know whether to talk about it or not.

Seeing that he looked preoccupied, Lu Jin said: "If you have something to say, say it." ”

Father-in-law Fang laughed twice and said to Lin Xiaoman: "County Lord, I don't know if it is feasible for our family to put these dishes in my brother's restaurant?" ”

"What's wrong with that? It's just a few home-cooked dishes, and I write down the recipe when I go back, and my father-in-law takes it. ”

After living in Hedong Village for a period of time before, Father-in-law Fang also knew that Lin Xiaoman was not the kind of person who could calculate, she said that it didn't matter, and it shouldn't matter in her heart, so he thanked her and accepted her kindness.

Lin Xiaoman took a pen and paper, wrote down the practices of these dishes, and wrote down the practices of a few more big dishes, and when Fang's father-in-law took a look at the dishes, he was even more grateful to Lin Xiaoman.

This time, there was no need to wait for the corn to dry and thresh, and after Fang Gonggong read the holy decree, he only stayed in Hedong Village for two days before leaving.

Before leaving, Lin Xiaoman loaded him with a cart of pickles, a cart of sauerkraut, and a cart of sausages and bacon that had not been dried well.

He also wrote down the practice of pickling sauerkraut, and brought him two packets of cabbage seeds, as long as he found land near the capital and planted it, he could also produce big cabbage next year, and then he could pickle the sauerkraut by himself.

Father-in-law Fang is very grateful, don't look at these compared to the dozens of hundreds of taels of silver he took when he went to other people's mansions to read the holy decree, but these are all good things, and they can't be bought if they want to buy them outside.

Although he is also very greedy for Lin Xiaoman's recipe for making bacon and sausages, he can't be too aggressive, and he didn't even dare to mention it.

Lin Xiaoman also prepared a cart of local products for Mama Jin, such as potato vermicelli and sweet potato flour skin, and wrote down how to make a dish.

There are also a few boxes of brown sugar made by Lin Xiaoman with beets, including ginger dates, roses, and osmanthus, the taste is very different from the brown sugar made here before.

Father-in-law Fang and Mama Jin are already familiar with each other, and the relationship is also very good, seeing that Lin Xiaoman still remembers Mama Jin, while being happy for Mama Jin in his heart, he also thinks that Lin Xiaoman is a real person, and he is not the kind of person who is employed and made friends at the same time.

After sending Fang Gonggong away, it cooled down again in a few days, and the people in the village stayed at home most of the time, except for tending to the warm shed.

Lin Erhu still goes to Xu Qiuliang and Lin Dajiao's house to study every day, and those students who live far away live in an empty house in the west of the village, and go to Xu Qiuliang's house every day to eat and study.

Lin Xiaoman stays in the warehouse most of the time, the warehouse is very homely by her, and the rental house on the side of the textile factory is quit by her, but from time to time she will go to Grandma Chen's house to sit, and the level of stepping on the sewing machine has increased linearly, and it won't be long before she has the confidence that she can make the same quality as the dowry that Lin Dajiao wore on the day she got married.

When she has nothing to do, she reads a book here, learns to study, and swipes her phone from time to time, and she can hear shouts when someone comes to the house.

On weekends, she will also go shopping with Meng Meng, since she earned more than 30 million yuan by selling jade, Lin Xiaoman wants to buy a villa in the city.

The economy of Qingping City was very prosperous in the early years, but due to some policies and energy depletion and other reasons, the economy has become worse and worse in recent years, and a three-story villa in the urban area is only more than 2 million, which is not much better than living in a rental house in a textile factory?

So, Lin Xiaoman looked for information on the Internet about where to sell villas, and wanted to buy any of them, but he couldn't make up his mind.

Thinking about whether to live with the sister and brother, or wait for the first month, Lin Erhu doesn't have to go to Xu Qiuliang's place to go to see it again when he goes to class.

In the afternoon, Lin Xiaoman went out to the express point and pushed a flatbed, and when he came back, the flatbed was full, and it took more than an hour just to unpack.

Until Lin Erhu came back from school and came to the warehouse, Lin Xiaoman was still changing the packaging of alabaster.

This work is really tiring, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't explain where the alabaster went after it was bottled, Lin Xiaoman would have wanted to hire someone to do it.

Lin Erhu ordered a takeout, and soon after eating, the doorbell rang outside, and the tutor came to class.

Although this is a warehouse, everything that should be purchased has been purchased, and it does not look shabby.

Who knew that halfway through the class, the sisters and brothers heard the knock on the door and the sound of Lu Jin shouting from outside the courtyard, looking at the tutor who didn't feel anything, Lin Xiaoman was anxious, but he couldn't get into the closet in front of her.

Alas, it's really a desperate person, it seems that this villa must be bought.
