The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 330 Zhuangzi's Trip ([-])

After this arrangement, all the errands of the servants in the house were settled.

Steward Chen and Nanny Chen, one is in charge of the outside world and the other is in charge of the house. Su Yunduo assigned two stewards to each of them to assist them in their work.

There is a nanny and a maid beside Ning, namely Nanny Chen and Banxia, ​​and another nanny is arranged for Su Zerui, that is, Nanny Lin who subdues Mrs. Wu together with Shaoyao and Banxia, ​​who is Su Zerui's nanny.

Beside Su Yunduo are two maids, Zisu and Baizhi, and Shaoyao was arranged by Su Yunduo to work in the kitchen.

Su Zexuan and Su Zechen were still surrounded by the original two servants, and no maids were arranged for the time being.

Mother Chen persuaded Su Yunduo to arrange a mother for herself, but among the more than 40 servants, there were only eight women, and today three of them were sent away at once.

For the remaining five women, Nanny Chen would definitely work by Ning's side, and there was one less.

Su Yunduo picked the more careful Nanny Lin from the remaining four women for Su Zerui.

Although the remaining three women were all left in the mansion by Su Yunduo, two of them were cooks, and the other was illiterate and could only do rough work.

Since there is no mother-in-law who can get into Su Yunduo's eyes, and arrange the mother's affairs by Su Yunduo's side, I have to let it go for the time being.

Apart from Qiuxi, Su Chengzhi also arranged for him a driver named Dongzi who often went in and out of the car.

The rest of the servants have also been arranged. The gatekeeper and the courtyard are combined into one, the coachman and the gardener are combined into one, and the kitchen and cleaning are the most numerous. In these two places, Su Yunduo specially arranged small stewards. It was the woman surnamed Yuan.

After arranging the people who stayed, Chen Butler naturally mentioned the remaining people who were selected: "How to arrange for the remaining 16 people?"

Naturally, Su Yunduo couldn't let people idle there and get moldy, so he had other arrangements.

During the two hours for the servants to choose, Su Yunduo had already explained to Zhang Pingan, asking him to lead these people to reclaim a two-cent-sized field in the back garden along the wall from tomorrow.

This yard is said to have only three entrances, but the backyard is not too small, which gives Su Yunduo space to plan.

She plans to grow some special vegetables or some rare fresh flowers in the back garden, and she brought a lot of seeds from Geshan Village.

After listening to Su Yunduo's arrangement, Steward Chen was silent for a long time, and finally said nothing, but nodded to express that he would do his best to cooperate and support Zhang Ping'an.

Early the next morning, Su Zechen made a fuss with everyone in the family.

After breakfast, he excitedly urged Su Chengzhi to take them to Baiming Academy for registration.

After seeing off the father and son, Su Yunduo had a conversation with Ning Shi, and then brought Zisu and Bai Zhi, accompanied by Ning Zhongping, and joined Lu Jinkang to the western suburbs to select a venue for making preserved eggs.

Lu Jinkang pre-selected two sites for making preserved eggs, one is the Zhuangzi given to Su Yunduo by the old lady Lu, and the other is the Zhuangzi of the Zhen Guogong Mansion. Both Zhuangzi are in the western suburbs, not far from the city. The distance between the two Zhuangzi is not too far. Going earlier will give you plenty of time to compare the pros and cons of the two Zhuangzi, and you can decide on the address of the workshop as soon as possible so that you won’t be too rushed when you come back.

About half an hour out of the city, Zisu slightly opened the car window, pointed to a village in front of her and whispered to Su Yunduo: "The Zhuangzi over there belongs to the Duke of Zhen, and I grew up here when I was young. My parents, brothers and sisters-in-law Now it’s in this Zhuangzi. I don’t know if the young master chose this Zhuangzi.”

Su Yunduo looked in the direction Zisu pointed, and a village bigger than Geshan Village appeared in front of him, but to Zisu's disappointment, the car did not enter this village, but continued on for about a minute The bell carriage stopped in front of a Zhuangzi surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Seeing Su Yunduo get off the car, Lu Jinkang pointed to Zhuangzi and said, "This is Zhuangzi under the name of my cousin, how is it? The environment is not bad."

Su Yunduo looked around, the environment was indeed good, and what surprised her even more was that the lotus leaf fields in the lake in front of Zhuangzi were swimming in groups of ducks, yes, they were indeed ducks!
Seeing Su Yunduo staring at the duck without turning his eyes, Lu Jinkang said with a chuckle: "As long as you have tasted the delicious preserved egg, no one will let it go. I thought that since my cousin's family is coming to the capital, instead of buying duck eggs from outsiders one by one, I might as well raise more ducks myself. Anyway, most of the villages in the house and my aunt’s hands have water, so I asked people to raise ducks in several villages with water. At present, there are about [-] ducks in total.

Ducks are raised early and late, and the number of ducks that have started to be raised is about [-] eggs per day. "

In this way, everything is ready, just waiting for her to decide on the address of the workshop, and then she can start making preserved eggs on a large scale.

Su Yunduo glanced at Lu Jinkang gratefully. He didn't expect that the high-definition nobleman could do so meticulously. His arrangement really saved her a lot of things, and also saved labor and cost.

Lu Jinkang knew that Su Yunduo came to Zhuangzi today, in addition to choosing the address of the Songhuadan Workshop, he also had to investigate whether the grapes in the Zhuangzi were suitable for wine making.

Due to the tight schedule, Su Yunduo did not rest much in the Zhuangzi, but Lu Jinkang introduced him to Zhuangtou, drank some water, ate some melons and fruits grown in the Zhuangzi, and asked Zhuangtou to guide him to the grapes. garden.

Su Yunduo turned around the vineyard under the scorching sun. The grapes in the vineyard are not big, and there are almost no ripe grapes at present. The head of the village means that the grapes here will take at least half a month to enter the ripening period.

The vineyard in the Zhuangzi is not big, only about ten acres. The growth and fruiting rate of the grapes are not good in Su Yunduo's opinion, but Su Yunduo sees the appreciation of the Zhuangtou in Lu Jinkang's eyes.

Su Yunduo picked some seven or eight mature grapes and tasted them carefully. After tasting, he got to know the grapes in this vineyard. Even if they are fully ripe, the taste of the grapes will be sour, which is even more incomparable with the grapes eaten in the previous life. But it's perfect for winemaking.

Seeing this vineyard with a size of about ten mu, Su Yunduo was secretly delighted.

"Is there anyone else growing grapes around here? Are there any other varieties?" Su Yunduo calmed down and asked Zhuangtou who was following behind.

Zhuangtou shook his head: "In the western suburbs, there is no other place except grapes grown in our village."

Su Yunduo frowned slightly, the grapes on the ten acres of land are still sparse, how many grapes can be harvested, it seems that there are not enough grapes to make wine.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Su Yunduo frowning, Lu Jinkang asked silently.

Su Yunduo shook his head, and did not answer Lu Jinkang, but continued to ask: "Then how many grapes can we harvest per mu in our garden?"

"One mu can harvest about six or seven hundred catties." Zhuangtou said proudly.

Six or seven hundred catties, what is there to be proud of? !

In the vineyards in the previous life, the yield per mu of the lowest yield could be up to [-] catties, and the high yield could even be as high as five or six thousand catties.

But considering the yield per mu of agricultural products here, the yield per mu of six or seven hundred catties is probably not bad.

After asking about the yield, Su Yunduo turned to Lu Jinkang: "These grapes are all used to make wine, probably enough for relatives and friends to taste."
