The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 203 Zhuangzi is good
I sat in the hall, drank a cup of tea, and ate two pieces of snacks said to be made by Jiang Zhuangtou's wife. The snacks tasted pretty good, not much worse than the snacks sold in some shops in the city.

Shiliu nodded secretly, saying that servants from wealthy families are all talented, and it is true.

She also made money from these dozen households of farm servants.

After a while, Shiliu asked Jiang De to lead them to continue visiting Zhuangzi.

Now I walked out of the hall and followed the corridor to the main room. There were five main rooms, and the three in the middle were opened up to form a large flower hall. The flower hall was still decorated with a complete set of mahogany furniture, which was spotlessly polished and could be used to take photos of people.

Shiliu couldn't help but be curious, "Did Dong Liu's family come to live in Zhuangzi before?"

Jiang De shook his head, "This Zhuangzi has been in the hands of Liu Dong's family for more than ten years. I have only met Liu Dong's family once."

The servants of more than a dozen of them were originally transferred from the previous owner to Liu Dong's family along with Zhuangzi. The original owner committed a crime and had his house confiscated. When they came into the hands of Liu Dong's family, they knew that the Liu family was the richest man in Bingzhou, so they expected It's better to be valued by Dong Liu's family and get a good way out than to stay in this village all his life.

It's a pity that in the past ten years, Liu Dong's family has only stayed with his family for two days.

The owner of the iron-clad Zhuangzi suddenly changed hands again. When the Liu family came to take care of him, he spent money to inquire about the owner. He heard that the owner this time was a young girl who was very capable in business.

When he listened, he secretly marveled that he was very capable to take down this Zhuangzi from Liu Dong's family!

So these days, he has been looking forward to the arrival of the new owner. He hopes that the fate of their village will fall into the hands of the new owner, which will be a good way out.

Today I met the new owner in person. Jiang Zhuangtou's first reaction was a little disappointed, because this little girl was really too young. He thought she was still sixteen or seventeen years old. .

However, he did not show it. After all, he thought that the girl who could deal with Liu Dong's family would not be looked down upon even if she was thirteen or fourteen years old.

Shiliu heard that Liu Dong's family had only been here once in ten years, but the main courtyard was still as tidy as if it were new. It was clean from top to bottom. It could be seen that Zhuangtou was a real person. Even if the owner didn't come, he would still be there. Take good care of this village.

But she didn't know that Jiang De's ancestors had lived in Zhuangzi for generations, so his feelings for Zhuangzi were naturally very different.

After looking at the main courtyard, and then going to the back, there are rows of back rooms.

A door was opened in the back wall, and when you went out, you could see a sparkling river. There was a stone bridge on the river. When you go down from the stone bridge, you can see the paddy fields.

At this time, rice seedlings had just been planted in the paddy fields, and they were all green. Li Jihe couldn't help but rub his hands.

The courtyard on Zhuangzi has many houses and no matter how nice it is, in the end it cannot compare with the temptation of the fields.

This continuous area is a total of forty acres of paddy fields. It is really gratifying to look at it!
Looking further ahead, we can vaguely see patches of dry fields. I heard from Jiang De that there are 80 acres of dry fields, 40 acres of corn, 20 acres of cotton, 10 acres of sweet potatoes, and 5 acres of beans. Five acres of peanuts.

On the side of the field, there are a dozen hills connected together. Many fruit trees are planted on the hills. The grass on the mountain below is lush and green, and cattle and sheep can be vaguely seen.

Jiang De introduced: "We currently raise ten cows in our village. We are busy with spring plowing. Having cows plowing the fields saves a lot of worry. We also raise about thirty sheep, and we also raise chickens and ducks."

When Pomegranate heard that they were raising sheep, her eyebrows moved, and she secretly remembered it in her heart. She just asked how many chickens, ducks, and eggs there were...

I was happy to learn that there are more than 20 hens and they can pick up more than 20 eggs every day, and there are also dozens of ducks and they can pick up dozens of eggs every day.

"How did Liu Dong's family collect rent before?" she asked. In fact, she had heard it from Huang Quan.

Jiang De said: "Liu Dong's family collects 60% of the rent, and the remaining 40% of the rent belongs to us." When Jiang De talked about this, he had to sigh that Liu Dong's family was a kind owner. He didn't know that this new owner, Will he change the rent? He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Pomegranate heard the same thing as Huang Quan, and nodded, "Then I'll do this from now on. I'll take all the chicken and duck eggs. I'll give you 40% of it, and I'll give it to you directly in silver. You'll send it to me every ten days." Someone delivers the eggs to Li’s Specialty Shop in the south of the city—"

Jiang De was also happy to hear that the rent had not changed. In the past, they were reluctant to eat eggs, leaving only the duck eggs that were not easy to sell for themselves. The rest were also sold.

He quickly nodded in agreement and remembered clearly the Li's Specialty Shop in the south of the city.

The sun was shining brightly, so Shiliu and the others didn't go around Zhuangzi. They only had a rough look at Zhuangzi's appearance on the stone bridge, and then returned to the flower hall in the main courtyard.

It was already dinner time, and Jiang De had already told his wife to take someone to prepare a table of food.

The father and daughter then washed their hands and sat at the table.

The dishes are all home-style stir-fries, but there is also a stewed chicken soup, which is very fresh.

There were so many dishes that it was impossible to finish them all, so Li Jihe didn't think much about it and immediately called Jiang De and the others to sit down and eat together.

Jiang De was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly. They were just servants of the village. How could they eat at the same table as the master?
Shiliu saw that Jiang De was really frightened. If he really pulled him to sit down, he would even eat with trepidation.

Knowing that this was the case, she spoke out and asked Jiang De and the others to go down to eat and not stay here.

After hearing this, Jiang De breathed a sigh of relief and retreated with his men.

There were only father and daughter in the huge side hall. Li Jihe couldn't help but said, "I'm not used to it!"

Zhuangzi was already theirs, and so were the servants. They had to get used to it even if they were not used to it. Pomegranate smiled and raised her hand to serve him a bowl of chicken soup. "Dad, are you hungry already? There are so many vegetables, so we can't waste them. Eat more." point."

Li Jihe nodded, he was indeed hungry.

Pomegranate took a sip of chicken soup and nodded secretly. This cooking skill is not bad!
After dinner, go to the main hall to drink tea, and the table will be cleared.

Shiliu looked at the woman with the two little girls, and had already heard from Jiang De that they were his wife and two daughters.

Turning his head, his eyes fell on Jiang De, Shiliu said: "Excuse me, Jiang Zhuangtou, and call all the servants here to see you."

Jiang De went out in response and quickly recruited his son to run errands to call all the servants to come.

There are a total of twelve households in Zhuangzi, with a total of seventy-eight people. It didn't take long for them to arrive.

The sun was shining brightly and it was not easy to stand in the courtyard, so Pomegranate asked them all to stand in the corridor. The door was open so that those sitting inside could clearly see everyone outside.

Most of these people were wearing patches, and they looked worse than those in their village. Li Jihe also secretly lamented that he thought they were miserable before, but he never thought that there were people in the world who were more miserable than them.

Shiliu looked around and then said to Jiang De: "Jiang Zhuangtou, I plan to pick a few useful people to leave."

Jiang De thought he had heard wrongly, but when he realized it, his heart was trembling with joy.

Unexpectedly, the new owner would give Li and the others such a big surprise when they arrived!
The servants of the village all dream of being used by their master. It would be an honor to leave this village and go out to see the world. Furthermore, it would be an honor to be able to work for the master's side!
Shiliu felt the servant's restlessness, so she asked Jiang Zhuangtou to pick out a few strong and reliable people. Jiang Zhuangtou knew these people best and could choose the most suitable ones for her.
