Chapter 251: Back to the Villa

In comparison, on the way back, you can always see corn stalks on both sides of the road that are taller than people, and slices of sweet potatoes.

After the corn and sweet potatoes harvested in Qingping County last year were sent to the capital, they were distributed to the prefectures and governments by the imperial court as grains.

Because the imperial court vigorously promoted the new grain grown by the county lord of Qingping and her, the people knew that these new grains were not only delicious, but also had high yields, and they did not need to spend money to buy them as seeds, so the people were scrambling to plant new grains in their own fields.

It's a pity that there are only those grain seeds, not every family has the opportunity to grow new grain, and the imperial court has recorded that whoever has a good field and a high yield will only have these seeds first.

That's it, along the way, you can always see corn sweet potatoes growing just right on the side of the road.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes have not yet been harvested, but corn can be eaten with green sticks.

Lin Xiaoman wanted people to buy some green sticks and come back to taste them, but who knew that when he asked, he would ask for twenty wen a stick, which was the price, because he wanted more grains, and the court did not let farmers buy and sell casually.

Lin Xiaoman didn't want to be the boss of this wrong, so he gave Xu Yuanru a look, Xu Yuanru reluctantly drove the carriage away, and when he came back, there were a few more sacks of corn cobs in the car.

Lin Xiaoman gave her a thumbs up, and Xu Yuanru snorted arrogantly: The corn grown in her space is much better than the ones on the side of the road that look malnourished.

Afraid of being suspicious of melon fields and plums, Lin Xiaoman and his entourage hurried for a while, until they were more than ten miles away from the nearest corn field, and then let people take out the corn, part of it was directly burned on the fire, and part of it was put in the pot to boil, and after a while, the air was filled with the sweet aroma of corn.

Lin Xiaoman loves to eat green cob corn, but compared with the pure natural green and pollution-free corn he ate last year, the corn grown in Xu Yuanru's space is many times more delicious, and his mouth is full of sweetness when he takes a bite.

But there are hundreds of people, no matter how much corn Xu Yuanru takes out, it is only enough for one person to eat one stick, and after eating, he is still unsatisfied, Lin Xiaoman asked Xu Yuanru to 'buy' a few bags when he stays in the hotel at night, and then kill a pig, pork and beans stewed corn. Of course, the ingredients are all provided by Xu Yuanru.

Xu Yuanru also accepted her fate, and willingly followed Lu Jin's people to run in front to get some food and lodging.

Just walked all the way, ate all the way, and returned to Hedong Village, Qingping County, it was mid-July.

The group returned to the county government first, where Lin Xiaoman met the legendary Mrs. Qing.

Mrs. Qing was a woman who looked to be forty years old, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, but her body was thin and could be blown away by a gust of wind, and Lin Xiaoman was worried about whether she could adapt to the winter in Qingping County.

However, Qingping County has a kang in winter, and her newly built farm is paved with a ground dragon, as long as it burns well, it is much more comfortable than the wet and cold weather in the south, and it should be better.

Coming to Qingping County with Mrs. Qing, in addition to her husband Zhou Deshui, there is also her son's family.

Mrs. Qing's son is called Zhou Hongfei, a simple young man, the same age as Lu Jin, but he is already the father of three sons, and even Lin Xiaoman was stunned when he saw it.

Zhou Deshui was very trusted by Lu Jin because of the relationship between Mrs. Qing, and it happened that Lin Xiaoman's villa needed to be managed by manpower, so Zhou Deshui temporarily became the head of the farm, and Zhou Hongfei also worked as a steward in the farm, mainly responsible for the external affairs of the farm.

Zhou Hongfei's wife is a cool woman, because Mrs. Qing is not in good health, since she got married, the big and small affairs in the family have been handed over to her to deal with, Lin Xiaoman felt that she was a housekeeper at first sight, and after getting married, she handed over the affairs of the backyard to her, and she could be much easier.

After meeting, Mrs. Qing's family returned to the newly built farm with Lin Xiaoman, while Lu Jin stayed in the county government to deal with the county affairs left behind for a few months.

When Lin Daqiang learned that Lin Xiaoman was back, he waited at the intersection early, and as soon as he saw someone, he led Lin Xiaoman's sister and brother to the farm.

After a few months of construction, the farm was completed, and in addition to the large area of farm land outside, a huge mountain lodge was built near the foot of the mountain.

Standing outside the villa, you can feel the huge scale of the villa.

Zhuangzi is divided into two parts, the inner village and the outer village, the inner village is close to the foot of the mountain, there are hundreds of houses, divided into more than a dozen courtyards of large and small, this time I am not afraid of those gold and silver treasures and other things transported back from the capital have no place to store.

Mrs. Qing and her husband were arranged by Lin Xiaoman to live in the outer courtyard of Neizhuang, which was closer to the courtyard where they lived, and they could also take care of each other.

The outer village is a courtyard for the people of the Zhuang household, and the people of the Lu Mansion who happened to be brought back from the capital were placed here, in addition to the affairs of the Zhuangzi, there is no shortage of manpower for external affairs.

There are several workshops built on the periphery, and there are even a few inns for tourists or businessmen to stay. Even teahouses and restaurants are readily available, and the stewards are all selected from the subordinates brought by the Lu government, but the workers are recruited from outside.

The area of the outer village is more than ten times that of the inner village, although there is still a lot of vacant land left for later construction, but such a large project, completed within half a year, it can be seen how huge the manpower and financial resources used.

It can also be seen that as long as the mountain resort is operated, the benefits will be equally huge.

Xu Yuanru took things out while feeling distressed, and took out a few boxes to nag a few words, "This evil rich man, my aunt and grandmother have worked hard for several years, and the savings are not as much as a fraction of others." ”

Lin Xiaoman patted her on the shoulder and comforted, "Mix with your sister, your sister won't let you suffer." ”

Thinking that Lin Xiaoman is now also a rich woman with a million taels of money, and then thinking about the Lu family's family background that she helped Lu Jin transport back from the capital, Xu Yuanru decided to hollow out Lin Xiaoman's family background little by little, and she wanted to be the richest person in the Daning Dynasty.

Lin Xiaoman didn't know what she was thinking, if she knew that she would definitely welcome her, and wanted to hollow out her family, then she couldn't exchange the corresponding good things for it? Anyway, she has been coveting the things in Xu Yuanru's space for a long time.

Before Lin Xiaoman came back, Lin Daqiang had already recruited everyone according to her requirements, and when she came back, she checked again, and saw that there was no problem, and with an order, the workshops of the villa opened one after another.

Among them, the workshop of deep processing of chili pepper has just opened, it has attracted a lot of customers, there are several kinds of chili sauce alone, but it is a pity that the preservation technology of this era is not mature, and these products can not be transported over long distances.

But it does not prevent Lin Xiaoman from asking Lu Jin to drive the workshop elsewhere, as long as the formula is kept secret, he can always make good money for a few years.

As soon as the chili workshop opened, the surrounding area was always filled with the smell of spicy eyes, and fortunately the workshop was far away, otherwise the villa would not be able to live.

In addition to the pepper workshop, there is also a wine-making workshop in the villa, and the wine-making methods are all taken by Lin Xiaoman, in addition to liquor and fruit wine, as for the taste, it will take a while to know.

In addition to a few large workshops, there are also small bead flower workshops like the two cousins of Uncle Lin's family are also very popular. The eldest aunt Yao is not young, and she still wears beads all day long, saying that she wants to solicit business for her family.

Lin Xiaoman was a little used to the aesthetics over there, and was a little worried about whether her live advertisement would scare the guests away.
