Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 134 It's Snowing

After a tiring day, Song Chen was really hungry.

I didn't stay in the greenhouse for long before I left. I sent the dishes to the kitchen and waited for dinner.

The kitchen was also very fast, and it didn't take long for them to wait. The dishes were brought out one after another, and the oily plate made Song Chen's index fingers move.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had these fresh vegetables.

Sometimes she is so bored that she can only hide in the space and eat a few fruits.

The food cooked by Cang Xiuxuan's chef does taste pretty good, especially after she taught him how to use the condiments she brought before, the food here is even more delicious.

"Your cooking skills here have indeed improved. I feel like I can add another bowl of rice."

"Enough."

Cang Xiuxuan put down his chopsticks with a smile and moved Song Chen's favorite dish in front of her. She didn't eat in small bites like those ladies, as if she was afraid of hurting the rice.

But she doesn't grab food without rules. She still looks good when she eats. And when you watch her eating, you will feel that the food is delicious and your appetite will improve accordingly.

"If you are in town from now on, come to Zhuangzi for dinner."

Song Chen smiled and said, "That's a good idea. Do I need to pay for food?"

"Food expenses? What are food expenses?" Cang Xiuxuan had never heard of this term.

Song Chen let out a sigh in his heart, and unknowingly said something strange, "I mean, do you want to pay for the meal?"

Cang Xiuxuan gave her a blank look, "How much do you plan to give?"

Song Chen chuckled, "Just kidding, but these vegetables are really good. Although they don't taste as refreshing as the ones in season, they will satisfy your craving after all."

Song Chen had thought about the problem of taste before. Because the vegetables in the greenhouse have not been exposed to the sun and are not baptized by the sun, it is normal for the taste to be worse.

"By the way, do you know where there is a hot spring?"

In addition to greenhouses, it is also possible to use hot springs for watering.The vegetables watered in this way should taste better than those produced in the greenhouse.

"This village is just a hot spring village." Cang Xiuxuan looked at her helplessly, "Didn't I tell you?"

Song Chen also forgot whether he said it or not.

But now she finally understood why a prince like him would build a village here. It turned out to be because of the hot springs.

This thing is hard to come by. For princes and nobles like them, as long as they find a place with hot springs, they will naturally try their best to make it their own.

They should have taken over [-]% of the hot springs in the world.

"Why do you suddenly ask about hot springs?"

Song Chen pointed at the vegetables on the table, "Vegetables watered in hot springs should taste better than vegetables produced in a greenhouse."

"Can hot spring irrigation also allow you to grow vegetables in winter?" Cang Xiuxuan didn't know this. "Won't you freeze to death when it snows?"

"We also need to take appropriate measures to avoid wind and cold."

"I'll let someone try it."

"Well, if that works, I'll lend you some land to plant some."

However, she does not plan to expand the promotion of greenhouse vegetables. Confucius said, "I don't eat them from time to time." She doesn't want to spend her time on this.

She mainly plans to make medicinal materials and fruits.

These things are affordable.

Cang Xiuxuan naturally had no reason not to agree, "It just so happens that the mountains over the hot springs are empty. I'll have people clear them out. Come back in a few days to see what measures you can take to avoid the wind and cold. If you plant them now, you can eat them in the first month. On."

Although Beiguan Village is not too far north, winter does not end until February or March.

After dinner, it was completely dark outside.

Cang Xiuxuan helped Song Chen make tea, and after sitting for a while, he personally sent her back to the town.

Shopkeeper Zheng and the others knew that Song Chen was coming back, so there were lights at the door. The dim lights looked particularly warm in the cold winter.

"Snowing!"

Suddenly, Song Chen screamed in surprise.

When she just got out of the car, she felt something fall on her face. Coldly, she thought it was raining and didn't pay attention. Just as she looked up, the light on the carriage made her see pieces of white things floating down from the sky.

Song Chen quickly reached out to pick it up, and the snowflakes fell on his hands and quickly turned into water.

Song Chen was as excited as a child, "It's snowing, it's really snowing."

Cang Xiuxuan stood aside and looked at him. Through the dim light, she could clearly see the doting in his eyes. She now seemed to be what she should be at her age.

Before, she had been running around for her family and suffered a lot.

Cang Xiuxuan feels very conflicted. On the one hand, he hopes she can have more of this kind of time, but on the other hand, he hopes she can grow up quickly.Seeing her like this, Cang Xiuxuan guessed that she would play outside for a while, so he turned around and took out a cloak from the carriage, tied it carefully around Song Chen's shoulders, and finally helped her to go The front is closed.

Song Chen was having a good time. There were more and more snowflakes and they were getting bigger and bigger. Song Chen was spinning around happily.

Cang Xiuxuan's cloak was a bit too long for Song Chen. It dragged on the ground and seemed to bloom with happy flowers as she moved.

**
It snowed all night, and the outside seemed to have turned into a world covered in snow.

The streets were covered with a thick layer of white snow, and the roofs seemed to be covered with white goose feather coats.

Shopkeeper Zheng and the others couldn't help but become worried when they saw such weather, "With such heavy snow, I'm afraid not many people will go out."

There may not be many people coming to the milk tea shop today.

Song Chen wasn't worried at all. He found a custom-made sign, wrote a row of words on it, and hung it in front of the milk tea shop.

Shopkeeper Zheng and the others came up and took a look, "Heavy snow goes well with milk tea~"

There is also a very cute pattern below.

Seeing this sign, several people laughed. They really didn't expect that Song Chen had such a cute side.

The sign was put up, and Wenping and Qiu'an were getting ready to open the door. They had already prepared the things they would use today in the early morning. Originally, they were thinking of preparing less things due to the heavy snow, but Song Chen insisted on keeping the same as yesterday.

The store door opened, and Wenping and Qiu'an arranged some things again to make the whole store look tidier.

Shopkeeper Zheng had already sent several braziers to the dining area outside the operation room, and the temperature in the room suddenly became much higher. There were no guests coming, so Qiu An and Wen Ping sat aside and listened to Song Chen talk about something new.

About two quarters of an hour later, the first customer came to the door.

Song Chen recognized her at a glance, "Sister's sister, have you thought about it, right?"

The person who came was the sister of the scholar whom Song Chen mobilized yesterday to let her come here to work. Yesterday she had agreed with her family to come and work today. Before leaving, her mother regretted it again and tried to persuade her. It won't come out for a while.

"Well, I have thought about it and discussed it with my family. Can you give me [-] yuan a month? Don't worry, I will work hard. I can do any job."

Song Chen stood up with a smile and walked to her side, stretched out his hand, "Welcome to join."

The girl was a little stunned, not knowing what Song Chen meant.

Qiu An and Wen Ping helped demonstrate what a handshake was behind Song Chen, and the girl quickly took Song Chen's hand in hers.

"Thank you, boss girl."

"You don't need to thank me. You have to thank yourself. You understand the meaning that milk tea can convey to others. This job is suitable for you. You come in and sit down first. Since you have decided to work here, there are some things we still have to say up front. of."

The girl nodded and followed Song Chen into the house.

As soon as she entered, she felt a lot warmer. The cotton-padded jacket she was wearing had been worn for many years and was no longer warm. She was so cold that she wanted to turn around and go home several times.

Wen Ping also noticed her state and hurriedly got up and made her a cup of milk tea and brought it over. She made it hotter for her, "You warm yourself up first."

"Thank you sister."

"What's your name?" Song Chen asked her.

"Girl, my name is Li Xuemei." She was born in winter, so I gave her this name.

"You don't have to be reserved. You can call me girl like Wen Ping and the others, or you can call me by my name. My name is Song Chen."

Song Chen felt that this name really reflected the weather today. It happened to be a snowy day, and Li Xuemei came.

"Then I'll call you girl. There is no rule about calling you by your employer's name." Li Xuemei waved her hands quickly, rejecting Song Chen's last proposal.

Song Chen was amused by her honest look, "From today on, you will be a member of our store. I will give you a salary of [-] yuan every month. If you do well in half a year, I will give you a salary increase during the Chinese New Year." There will be bonuses for the holidays, but you have to promise not to say a word more about my affairs here, otherwise I will send you to see the official."

When making it here, she will teach some recipes to the store staff, so this must be clarified in advance.

Li Xuemei did not shrink from seeing the official, and immediately raised her hand and swore, "I, Li Xuemei, swear that if I work for my boss girl, if I say one more word when I go out, I will be struck by lightning and die!"

The ancients made heavy oaths.

Her reaction was very favorable, and Song Chen naturally believed it.

"Okay, I'll start working at the end of each month. If you need it urgently, you can advance it." This was also something Song Chen came up with on the spur of the moment. In this era, if a girl who hasn't left the government is willing to work, she must be forced by the conditions at home, especially hers. There is also a brother who is studying, and it will cost a lot of money.

Li Xuemei took everything Song Chen said to heart.

"You should watch it for the next few days and ask Ping how they do it. They will slowly teach you how to do it."

Song Chen has already taught Wen Ping, so there will be no need for her to come in person for employee training in the future.

Li Xuemei is very smart.

She quickly understood what Wen Ping told her. While waiting for the customers, Wen Ping took her to the operation room and taught her how to recognize things first.

Song Chen looked at Li Xuemei's clothes, then turned around and went to Cloth Shop.
