Spatial Farming: Busy with Cubs to Abuse Scum

Chapter 144 You Are Thoughtful
It’s almost the end of the month. Shopkeeper Niu has annexed the two rooms next to it. The left side has become Qiao’s Snack Shop. The place has doubled in size and is even more spacious. There are even tables and chairs in the shop, which are very elegantly arranged. .

The outside is even more outward, and the expansion to the north has more than doubled, so that it can accommodate more guests.

People started to inquire about the four shops in the south, but because the prices were slightly higher, they failed to negotiate.

Qiao Mai didn't panic either. One shop rented five taels of silver a month, only 60 taels a year, and four shops only cost more than 200 taels. She was not short of this amount.

Some people only see tenants with this little money in their eyes, and she doesn't bother to be their charter wife.

It just so happened that she had other plans.

On May 26, the Lu and Qin families got engaged, and Qiao Mai was invited to go, just as a witness.

Because she was going to attend Miss Wang's wedding in September, Ruyi's wedding was scheduled for the next spring, March 21st.

The day after the engagement, she sent her makeup over.

Seeing that she gave such a valuable gift again, shopkeeper Lu was too embarrassed to say the next thing.

"Sister, I, I think I will live in my house in the future, and I won't move there anymore, you see?"

"Okay, what's the matter, I can stop you from going back to your own home, is there anything else?"

"Ruyi also married from me. They are all people who know everything, and there is no need to change the pomp."

"Yes, this is your married daughter, you make the decision."

"You, aren't you angry?"

"Tch, why am I angry? It seems that I belong to Baozi, and I get angry at every turn. I added makeup. There are a lot of things at home, and the seeds are being sown in the field."

"Okay, it's fine if you don't get angry."

"As long as your family is doing well, it's too late for me to be happy."

After Qiao Mai left, shopkeeper Lu wiped away a few tears, and she felt sorry for the girl's kindness.

Living at Qiao's house is more comfortable than living at her own home, she also thought, but Ru Xin was at home by herself, so she, a mother, had to accompany her.

She was already in a bad mood, and it was even worse when she was left alone.

Now Lu Ruxin puts the focus of her life on her Liangpi shop. She wants to open a shop elsewhere, and with the support of Mayor Qian and Shopkeeper Lu, she goes out almost every day to buy shops and people, and teach them recipes.

After opening one shop, she was able to open another one with peace of mind.

She must follow the path that Master pointed out, otherwise she will fail Master's whole heart.

Shopkeeper Lu moved back, and Liu Ye naturally followed her. Now that she can start embroidery work, shopkeeper Lu also started to pay her wages, two hundred cash a month.

Qiao Mai had inquired with shopkeeper Tong that Liu Hai had done a good job at his place, one person was in charge of two or three people, and he was planning to pay him more wages.

She smiled and didn't say anything. She asked them to work just to keep close to see their character. The next step was to help them get rich.

Pointing to the few acres of barren land of the Liu family, they will never be able to make a fortune in their lifetime, and they still have to do business.

Right now, Ruxin's business is only in the county and prefectural cities. The Liangpi shop in Tianshui Town, why not give it to Liu's family, and serve it with fried pancakes. Da Fu dare not say, but Xiao Fu can't escape.

She guards her shop again, and there are many merchants coming and going. If she introduces her to eat there a few times, the business will improve within two days.

As for the rent, it's not too late to pay the rent after making money first.

Don't just say that this house belongs to her, so you don't want to pay the rent, there's no way!

If they dared to do this, she would directly beat them back to Liushutun.

Yuan's family came back once a month, and when he was on vacation, he packed up and saluted, and came back in a horse-drawn carriage at the gate of the city.

As soon as I got home, I went to see the old man first.

"Teacher,"

"Well, what have you learned in the academy this month?"

"Each teacher has his own unique insights. There are many students. Although some of them are wrong when answering the questions, they are also very innovative and benefit the students a lot."

"Well, after all, the old man is not an orthodox gentleman. They all have certain experience in teaching students and know the strengths and weaknesses of each student. You have more to learn there than I do here."

"Mister is also different from Mr."

"That's natural. Your daughter-in-law is sorting seeds in the backyard. Go over and help. She is the one who has worked hard for everyone."

"Yes!"

Yuan Jiaqi put down his things, changed into working clothes and went to the back.

Seeing her sowing seeds with her mother-in-law and the children watering with tools, he hurried over and took over the work from her.

"Let me do it!"

"Yo, are you back?"

"Ok!"

"What do you want for lunch? I let the kitchen do it?"

"How about eating cold noodles on such a hot day?"

After hearing this, a woman put down her things and went to the kitchen.

Qiao Mai sat down on a chair to rest, and Yuan Jiaqi carefully placed the seeds in the dug hole, and then buried them in soil.

"What do you plan to plant on these five acres of land?"

"Growing food and vegetables doesn't make any money. I want to save my laziness and plant five acres of strawberries."

"Oh, strawberries are too delicate, and summer always rains."

"Strawberries are not easy to transport. They were sold in the past. This time we will grow them ourselves. We will plant an acre of strawberries this winter. By the end of the year, we can sell them for ten taels of silver per catty. As for the rain, we will wait until the strawberries grow. I'll put up a shelf and cover it up when it rains."

"You are very thoughtful."

"You are not as good as you when it comes to studying, and you are not as good as me when it comes to making money."

Yuan Jiaqi looked neatly dressed, his hair was pulled high into a diamond, with a very beautiful hair accessory pinned to it, a pair of small white pearl earrings on his ears, fair skin, and a heroic Qiao Mai.

The little heart couldn't help beating vigorously again, his face blushed, he hurriedly lowered his head and continued with the work in hand, not daring to look directly at her.

Qiao Mai drank a few sips of water, took a short rest, took some more seeds, and sowed them in the field beside him.

Originally, seedlings like strawberry seeds need to be raised first, otherwise it would take a long time for the seedlings to emerge, but she has Linghe water in her hand, so she doesn't need to be so troublesome, just put the seeds the size of sesame seeds into the kang, and pour the diluted Linghe water, seedlings will emerge within two days, and the emergence rate reaches 99%.

This is the real purpose of aura, to stimulate vitality!

One mu of land was planted and watered in one day. Sure enough, there are more people and more power.

During dinner, Mayor Qian and shopkeeper Lu came over at the same time.

"Miss Qiao?"

"Mayor, what's the matter?"

"Well, more and more disaster victims are coming from the south. I don't have much food on hand. How much food do you still have in hand? Can you give me some?"

"Of course I brought all my belongings with me when I escaped. You can't always point to others to help you?"

"The imperial court only sent relief food to the south, but we don't have any in the north."

"The yamen doesn't care?"

"Who would dare to open a granary to release grain without an order from the court? That would be a serious crime of beheading."

"How much do you want?"

"I don't care about other towns. The sixteen villages around our town have a total of 120 households. How can each household get a hundred catties of grain?"

"That's more than 1 catties, right?"

"yes,"

"It just so happens that the grain that my tenant farmers have just handed in, in addition to the grain tax paid, still has tens of thousands of catties. Last year, there were a few thousand catties left over, and all the old grain was taken away. How about I distribute five thousand catties of new grain on average?"

"Thanks, you don't need that much, just give me last year's stale grain, and my family can make up some more, and we can raise some from the wealthy households in the town."

"It's not enough for you to talk, my Qiao family fully supports you as the mayor."

Shopkeeper Lu curled his lips, "My Lu family has no land, but I donate 100 taels of silver. Are you looking to buy food?"

"No, I'll pay for your share."

"You don't need to pay. What I donate is my heart. What does it have to do with you?"

As soon as the two met, they picked it up again, Qiao Mai shook his head, "Sister Lu, what's the matter with you?"

"How long has it been since you gave me embroidery, I'll come over and ask."

"You have five embroiderers in your family, and you still miss my embroidery?"

"Who says your things are good?"
