My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 83
Jiang Tangtang had expected this and was indifferent, but Su and the others were extremely excited, "Seriously? Seriously, can the seeds sown at this time germinate?"

"Really," He Qiuniang said, "This is also the first time I've seen sowing seeds in winter sprout."

Su said happily: "Then it won't be long before we have our own food to eat?"

He Qiuniang said: "I will take good care of it. As long as it doesn't freeze to death, it won't be long before I can eat home-grown vegetables."

In order to motivate the two servants, Su gave them the homespun cloth Jiang Tangtang bought two days ago, "You have worked hard these days, work hard, we will not forget your good deeds."

He Qiuniang was so moved that she kept expressing her sincerity.

What kind of hardship is this? Didn’t you have to work at home before?

The work at home is no less than before, the food is not as good as now, and the whole family is very kind to others.

……

When he saw his mother-in-law using a piece of homespun cloth that he had planned to give to his servants, he was moved to tears and vowed to work hard and repay them.

Jiang Tangtang sighed in his heart. He was indeed from a wealthy family. Although he didn't know how to wash and cook, he was very familiar with winning people's hearts.

Although Su didn't know how to farm, she was very curious about the vegetables that could sprout in the winter, so she went to the wasteland with He Qiu and his wife early the next morning.

Jiang Tangtang went to the county seat again today.

But today I am not going to the county town to sell cakes and do business, but to go to the blacksmith shop to pick up an iron plow.

This time Lu Shili did not accompany Jiang Tangtang, but Manager Xia went to the county town with her.

Guanshi Xia valued the iron plow designed by Jiang Tangtang very much. After he and Jiang Tangtang went home with the iron plow, he immediately called his son and took the ox to the wasteland to try out the new iron plow.

Seeing that the new iron plow was much easier to use than the one they used before and the soil was very fluffy, Manager Xia couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

He went to Jiang Tangtang to discuss: "Ms. Lu, can I submit the drawing of your iron plow to the court to benefit the people of Zhou Dynasty?"

There is nothing Jiang Tangtang doesn't want to do.

Manager Xia took Jiang Tangtang's drawings and went to the government office that day and presented the drawings to his immediate superior. After that, he went to the blacksmith shop and asked Old Li Tou to help him build an iron plow.

Here, Jiang Tangtang decided to put strawberry planting on the agenda after seeing that the speed of land reclamation had greatly increased with the iron plow.

Jiang Tangtang was busy planting, but in the county town, Shopkeeper Pu and others could see through the autumn water.

"Then little lady, why aren't you here yet?"

Shopkeeper Pu stamped his feet anxiously, but couldn't help but complain that the waiter in the store was incompetent, "You said you had such a good chat with that lady yesterday, why didn't you just ask her where she lived? If you asked I can’t even find a place to live.”

Just as he was talking, another waiter came hurriedly outside and said: "Shopkeeper Pu, the customer at the table yesterday is here again. The customer said he wanted egg yolk crisps. If there is no egg yolk crisps, cat ears or glutinous rice sticks will do. "

It turns out that after Jiang Tangtang left yesterday, shopkeeper Pu asked the waiter in the store to introduce various snacks to the guests who came to the teahouse as new products in the teahouse.

Unexpectedly, the effect was unexpectedly good.

Many guests not only ate at the teahouse, but also took a portion with them when they left.The goods he picked up from Jiang Tangtang were sold out within two hours. "Where's Master Wang? He ate a lot of the pastry yesterday, haven't you made it yet?" Shopkeeper Pu couldn't wait for the waiter to answer, so he strode towards the kitchen.

In the back kitchen, several pastry chefs have tossed a large bag of flour, steamed it in a pot, fried it in oil, or baked it over a fire. They tried many methods, but they couldn't make an egg yolk cake.

Seeing how much flour was wasted and nothing was produced in the end, Shopkeeper Pu was so depressed that he scolded the waiter and told him to go to the street to look for someone. If he found the little lady selling pastries, he would have to invite her. Come in.

On this day, all the major restaurants and teahouses in Raoying County were like Shopkeeper Pu, looking for a young lady selling pastries.

But got nothing.

However, customers who had just tasted the delicious egg yolk cakes and other pastries frequently came to the building to inquire, which made the shopkeepers anxious because they could not make any money from the business.

There are also many people, like Shopkeeper Pu, who instruct their own cooks to cook egg roll cakes, glutinous rice sticks, etc. by themselves.

Small snacks such as glutinous rice sticks and cat ears were barely cooked out, but the egg yolk cakes were not cooked out despite all their efforts.

While the shopkeepers were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, Jiang Tangtang had already brought more than 50 strawberry seedlings from the space under the guise of going into the mountains to look for wild strawberry seedlings and planted them in the newly opened wasteland.

There was no plastic film in this era, so Jiang Tangtang used straw to keep the strawberries warm.At night, cover the house with straw, and then lift it off at about ten o'clock in the morning.

Although this method is a bit troublesome, it works very well and all the strawberry seedlings planted survive.

The four sons of Steward Xia's family all helped in the fields as agreed earlier.

In addition to helping with the plowing, I also helped water the strawberry seedlings, cover them with straw, and dig black soil from the mountains to improve the soil.

The villagers of Zhounanzhuang were shocked to see the four sons of Butler Xia's family working in the wasteland of the Lu family.

Slowly, various rumors began to spread.

Some people say that Jiang Tangtang is the daughter of Manager Xia who is living abroad, while others say that Manager Xia has taken a fancy to Lu Zhixi and wants to make Lu Zhixi his wife for Xia Laosi.

Otherwise, people really couldn't understand why, given Xia's position as manager, he would please the sinners like the Lu family and let his sons go to help work in the fields.

Jiang Tangtang didn't know that because of this cooperation, there were so many strange rumors outside, and strawberry planting had to be done step by step.

If you find too many wild strawberry seedlings in the mountains at once, you will be suspicious.Therefore, for the time being, she has no plans to bring strawberry seedlings out of space, and plans to return her focus to her small business of making money.

The winter melon has been pickled, and Jiang Tangtang starts to light the fire, boil the winter melon sugar water, and make winter melon candy.

When they heard that Jiang Tangtang was making sweets, the children no longer had the time to study and kept looking towards the kitchen.

Lu Shiyan could see what the children were thinking, and finally put down the book and said, "Go! Don't argue, I have to help your mother with the work, you know?"

"Daddy is the best!" Lu Tiantian stood on tiptoes, hugged Lu Shi, Yan Xiang took a sip, and ran away quickly.

The two sons, each of them smiling, also showed a smile on their faces and ran happily towards the kitchen.

"Mom, can winter melon turn into sugar if boiled with water?" Lu Tiantian moved a small stool and stood on the stool, curiously looking at the winter melon and water in the pot.
