Reborn Wangjia's little koi, reclaiming wasteland and farming to become the richest man

Chapter 71 What is the artistic conception

It used to take half a day for Mrs. Qi to sell apples, but after a few days of selling, Mrs. Qi became more and more eloquent about selling apples. When the apples were sold out of a basket, one morning was enough.

With more and more free time left, Mrs. Qi became flustered and didn't want to go back to farming, so she wanted to take a walk around.

She gave the veil to Sheng Jiaojiao, and Sheng Jiaojiao looked at the embroidery technique on the veil and said doubtfully:

"It doesn't seem to be the embroidery skill of our Zhishou County, but it seems to be the handicraft of the county south of Daze."

"Really."

Mrs. Qi Er took a surprise look at Sheng Jiaojiao. She didn't expect Sheng Jiaojiao to recognize her, so she only said:
"That lady is from the south of Daze. Her family was sent to our barren frontier because of a crime. The whole family is slaves. The poor are really hard to get rid of, so they married her to Huangguo Village. When I went there, I saw her sitting in the yard embroidering with a big belly, she looked pretty, and I saw that she embroidered well, so I accepted her for a few embroidery jobs."

Mrs. Qi Er, who has been farming all her life, does not know the difference between these embroidery skills. However, the old lady Qi and Miss Qi Er at home always do embroidery work and sell it. Others embroider.

So Mrs. Qi could tell at a glance that the handkerchief embroidered by the widower's wife was more delicate and unique than the ones embroidered by her eldest daughter and mother-in-law.

She saw a small business opportunity right away.

Sheng Jiaojiao glanced at Second Lady Qi with admiration, returned the handkerchief to Second Lady Qi, and said:
"The second aunt will sell it at the market tomorrow. If it sells well, I can do embroidery work with this lady for a long time in the future, or I can invite her to come to my house to do embroidery work for grandma and grandma. It can be regarded as helping her to supplement some family expenses."

She had told A Niang before that she wanted to hire an embroiderer to help the family with embroidery work, but A Niang scolded her for spending money indiscriminately.

Now the embroidery work of this widower woman is still eye-catching, Sheng Jiaojiao invites her to come to the house, the commission is not too much, but it can save the grannies and grannies from having to work hard.

That's right, in her previous life, Sheng Jiaojiao thought that her grandma and grandma's embroidery was good, but now she can't even catch her eye.

To say that the embroidery work is good, the embroidery work in Nanjun is the most exquisite. The women in Nanjun are skillful, and most of the embroiderers in the palace are from Nanjun.

Sheng Jiaojiao told this matter to Second Lady Qi, and Second Lady Qi thought about it and said:

"She is a criminal slave and was sent to our place. It is said that there are two older sisters in the family who are working as prostitutes in the military dormitory. The embroidery work does not require much money. I think it is quite good to give her this amount. "

She said, holding up a few fingers, it was less than three-tenths of Niu Ju's daily wages.

Mistress Qi wanted to say it before, but actually Sheng Jiaojiao paid Niu Ju so much a day, which is considered very high in Zhishou County.

Sheng Jiaojiao is like this. She seems to be living in the sky all the time, and she is not so clear about many small things in people's livelihood.

Life in the frontier was difficult, and the arable land was half-dead. With the daily wages she paid Niu Ju, she could hire someone to do some murder and arson.

But because Niu Ju was Sheng Jiaojiao's only best friend since childhood, she was willing to take care of Niu Ju more, and Mrs. Qi Er didn't say anything.

As long as the matter of hiring an embroiderer at home can still save some money.

Sheng Jiaojiao took Second Lady Qi's suggestion and asked Second Lady Qi to talk to the embroiderer from the south tomorrow, and then went to deliver food to Niu Ju.

Niu Ju is capable. When Sheng Jiaojiao left, she built a square earth wire frame for the sheep shed. When Sheng Jiaojiao brought her food, the square earth frame had already risen a little, reaching the height of her calf.

Not only that, but she also picked a solid basket of herbs, vegetables and apples, and piled them on the side of the sheep shed.

Very neat.

Sheng Jiaojiao put down the bamboo basket slung on her wrist, tsk-tsk said:
"Niu Ju, you are really amazing. After the cowshed is finished, you can build a grape trellis for my yard." "Grape trellis?"

Niu Ju wiped the sweat off her forehead, rolled up her trousers, walked forward barefoot, sat down on the edge of the bamboo basket, held the big rice bowl, and started to eat voraciously.

The girls in Zhishou County are all like this, they do their jobs neatly, but they also eat a lot. Compared with Niu Ju, Sheng Jiaojiao eats like a kitten.

Sheng Jiaojiao nodded and emphasized again,
"That's right, grape trellis. Even if I don't grow grapes, I plant some climbing vines and flowers. It's quite artistic."

What is the artistic conception?Niu Ju was dumbfounded when she heard that,

"I've never heard of what a grape trellis is, how to set it up?"

So Sheng Jiaojiao gracefully sat beside Niu Ju, and showed Niu Ju what a grape trellis was.

While eating with her cheeks puffed out, Niu Ju shook her head and said:
"Without wood, this thing can't be built."

"Why is there no wood? Yes, there are so many trees planted in my house."

Sheng Jiaojiao put her hands on her cheeks, looked at Niu Ju with a smile, and said in a low voice:
"You just cut wood in my backyard, and I'll pay you more."

While Niu Ju was cooking, she took a look at Sheng Jiaojiao's extremely friendly smile, and her heart beat.

I heard that the Qi family's trees were bought by the servants of the abandoned Prince's Mansion, and the Qi family didn't like those trees.

Maybe it doesn't matter if you saw them off, but I heard that when those trees were bought back, they also cost a lot of money.

Niu Ju felt a little pity, looked at Sheng Jiaojiao, and asked naively:
"Do you really want to cut down trees?"

"cut!"

Sheng Jiaojiao made the final decision.

So Niu Ju calmed down and said proudly:
"Okay, just chop it up, but don't give me any extra money, you've already given me enough, if you give me some extra money, I won't come to work for you."

She was too honest, and she didn't want to take advantage of her best friend anymore. The two wages that Sheng Jiaojiao gave her could make Niu Ju work hard for her. If Sheng Jiaojiao gave her more money, Niu Ju would feel ashamed.

Looking at Niu Ju's honest face, Sheng Jiaojiao smiled,

"It's fine, I won't give you extra money, I will give you meat every day, and you will work for me in the future, and you will eat three meals a day at my house. Our guys eat well, and there will be meat every meal. "

This is fine, Niu Ju thinks this is okay.

After making an agreement with Niu Ju, Sheng Jiaojiao told the people in the family when she returned home. She was very skillful in speaking, and she didn't explain anything about the situation in Tuao, only that she hired Niu Ju to grow medicine fields, small vegetable fields, Plant trees, build sheep sheds, raise sheep, and build grape trellises.
Sheng Jiaojiao's speech was so fast that the whole family was dizzy after hearing this series of tasks. They naturally thought that Sheng Jiaojiao asked Niu Ju to open a few more plots of land.

Because everyone was very busy, they didn't ask where Niu Ju's fields were.

I only heard Mrs. Qi thinking about it and said:

"It's okay to give Niu Ju two wages, but since she wants to do so many things for our family, she will go to the market to sell apples in the future, so let me do it."

Recently, Mrs. Qi Er has sold a lot of experience in selling apples. She likes selling apples so much.

Sheng Jiaojiao also thinks it's okay, Niu Ju is good at doing farm work, but doing business is always not so fun, if it wasn't for Niu Ju to sell apples alone, she probably wouldn't be able to make money.

It might as well let Er Niangzi sell apples exclusively.

Anyway, Mrs. Qi Er likes it.

In the main room, a family of women sat and chatted, Sheng Jiaojiao sat next to Mrs. Qi Er, leaned her body and said:

"Since Second Aunt has to go to the market every day, why don't you sell some side dishes from our backyard, which will also make money."

The small vegetable field in the backyard used to be only half an acre, but because it grew well, the three uncles of the Qi family opened up half an acre each, and now the fields are all open to the edge of the woods in the backyard.

Sister Sheng Jiaojiao is in charge of these acres of vegetable fields, and Mrs. Qi San will help take care of these acres of vegetable fields while maintaining the medicine fields.

What she used was the manure made by the Qi family eating and drinking, while the Qi family drank the water released by Sheng Jiaojiao.

Therefore, the vegetables in the vegetable field grow well, and the medicinal materials in the medicine field also grow well.

This growth rate is the same as other crops in Zhishou County, but the quality is much better than the crops in other places.

The Qi family blamed this on the luck of the family. If they are going to be prosperous, the whole family business will go up, so the crops of the Qi family also feel this luck and grow in a good direction.

Mrs. Qi Er thought of so many lush side dishes in the backyard, and she had this idea long ago. When she was selling apples, she also sold side dishes along the way. Now that Sheng Jiaojiao took the initiative to mention it, she was very happy and agreed with one bite.

On the second day, Miss Qi Er started to work in the vegetable field in the backyard before everyone got up.

This time Qi Erlang came back from the business and brought back the three mules originally given to him by his family. Qi Rong originally had a mule given by Tan Ji, so there were four mules in total at home.

Before dawn, Mrs. Qi led a mule, hung a basket of side dishes and a basket of apples on the mule's back, and went to collect them excitedly.

Didn't even eat breakfast.

Second Master Qi lay on the bed, touched the cool blanket beside him, and got up with a sigh.

He has always had a feeling recently, has his wife forgotten him?

But recently, he saw light in the eyes of his mother-in-law.

Thinking of the radiant look of the second lady recently, Second Master Qi rubbed his soft heart, forget it, his wife has always been depressed, and now there is rarely something that makes her happy, let her go up.
That's how it came in the morning, when the family was busy, Sheng Jiaojiao called Qi Rong, who had delivered goods to the military camp, and Niuju, who had finished picking herbs, side dishes and apples, and the three ran behind Qi's house.

Pointing to the dozens of trees planted outside the backyard, she said to Niu Ju and Qi Rong:

"You pick one and chop it down."

Niu Ju has never been outside the backyard of Sheng Jiaojiao's house. Although she and Sheng Jiaojiao had a good time, outside the backyard of Qi's house is a bumpy loess slope, and no one would deliberately walk around here. This is not very good. road.

As a result, I came here today to take a look, and the place was sparsely populated. I don't know when a small forest was planted.

Niu Ju couldn't help asking:
"Jiaojiao, how many trees did your family plant?"

"I don't know, there are too many to count. Mr. Chao said to buy it, so we can only buy it."

Sheng Jiaojiao's answer was very helpless, which further deepened the passive situation of her family being bullied by the servants of the abolished prince's mansion.

Niu Ju didn't know what to say. These nobles were like blood-sucking locusts. It was a very happy thing for Brother Qi Zhang to be promoted in the army. As a result, good things came and bad things followed. .Now the whole village is envious of the Qi family starting to make a fortune, but they are shaking their heads and sighing secretly.

They saw how the servants of the abandoned prince transported trees to Qi's family with carts and carts. It was not obvious that they were forced to buy and sell, so they saw that the Qi family was making a fortune, so they came to the house to fight the autumn wind.

The Qi family still prefers not to offend the servants of the deposed prince.

Think about how embarrassing this must be.

Everyone felt that the Qi family hated the servants of the abandoned prince's mansion so much, maybe even hated the abandoned prince.

It was also said that Sheng Jiaojiao from the Qi family might marry a nobleman in the future and become a golden phoenix flying out of this earthen nest.

But now seeing the style of abolishing the Prince's Mansion, the Qi family has been bullied like this. Even if Sheng Jiaojiao never marries for life, she cannot marry such a family.

Therefore, the more trees that Chaozong "forcibly sold" to the Qi family, the fewer people would arrange for Sheng Jiaojiao to marry a nobleman.

Niu Ju looked at the trees in the grove, walked up to a small-leaf sandalwood, and said to Sheng Jiaojiao:

"Chop this one down."

Sheng Jiaojiao turned her head and took a closer look at the tree that Niu Ju was pointing at. If she was not mistaken, this tree should be red sandalwood, right?
Small-leaved red sandalwood builds a grape trellis.

Sheng Jiaojiao: "...cut."

With an order, Niu Ju faced the small-leaved red sandalwood tree and chopped it up bang bang bang.

Sheng Jiaojiao's hands were too delicate to do heavy work, and as soon as she lifted the ax, Qi Rou snatched it away.

Qi Zhi looked at Sheng Jiaojiao with a big head, with a look of "don't help me", and said:

"Sister, go and bring us some water and food, don't worry about your work, if you get injured later, my mother will kill me."

After finishing speaking, Qi Rong took an axe, bang bang bang bang, and chopped down another huanghuali tree next to the small-leaf red sandalwood.

Sheng Jiaojiao was a little hurt, so she ran away quickly, so as not to cause trouble to Qi Rong and Niu Ju, she went back to the house, carried out the earthenware pot, and brought a bowl for Niu Ju and Niu Ju.

They brought down three trees in total, which were red sandalwood, huanghuali, and camphor wood.
For the Qi family who had already planted dozens of trees, cutting down three trees was no big deal at all.

Niu Ju and Qi Rong even wanted to cut some more to build a stable. Although the Qi family used to have a shed, half of that shed was used to tie four mules, and half was used to dry papyrus.

The stables are simply not enough.

It has to be expanded.

So after setting up the grape trellis, they can use the remaining rosewood, camphor wood, and huanghuali to expand the stable.

Sheng Jiaojiao listened to Niu Ju and Qi Rong's discussion, she silently lowered her head, rubbed the space between her brows, and offered a solid suggestion:
"Just get some furniture, one set for each room."
