farm lady

Chapter 170

When Yi Xue returned home, she told Qiushui, Sanya and Tianwu not to tell what happened just now, lest my mother worry.The Liu family kept provoking her, and Yi Xue also felt helpless, as she was still not strong enough.

Seeing Yi Xue, Mrs. Zhang said, "Why have you been here for so long?"

Yi Xue smiled faintly, "Isn't there a lot of things to do?"

"By the way, mother, how did the newcomers arrange it?" Yi Xue asked.

Mrs. Zhang said sympathetically, "I've let them eat, I'll let them rest first."

"Qiu Shui, tell Tianjia to bring all the people here," Yi Xue said.

Soon, the 20 people gathered together, and the Zhang family stood at the top. After Yi Xue introduced them one by one, she asked the ten men what kind of craft they could do. Six of them were peasants, one could grow vegetables and flowers, and the other was a carpenter. , and one of them turned out to be a cook.

Yi Xue was puzzled, "You have carpentry skills, how did you end up selling yourself?"

The man lowered his head and said, "I was born in a big family since I was a child. My parents were beaten to death by the master. Later, the master's family encountered robbers. I escaped, but was arrested by the master's family and sold again."

"What about you?" Yi Xue asked the cook.

"I used to be the cook of Ruyi Restaurant in Beijing, but because my mother was seriously ill and had no money to buy coffin boards, I had to sell myself to bury my mother," said the 30-year-old man with his head down.

Unexpectedly, he was still a dutiful son, Yi Xue nodded.

"Okay, I have a rough idea. Your names range from one to ten, from water to ten. All of you men, within ten days, you will follow the arrangements of the head of the sky. The specific affairs will be arranged later. You six younger sisters, They are called Liujin, Suiyue, Xiaofeng, Mingyue, Jixiang, and Ruyi. Let Mrs. Jia let you familiarize yourself with the situation first, and then assign your work after you get used to it. The four aunts, whose names will not be changed, will work with Mrs. Jia. Hmm , the accommodation will be arranged by Manager Tian and Mrs. Jia, that’s it, let’s go.”

"Master Tian, ​​Mrs. Jia, these people who came just now, you are responsible for getting them to know each other as soon as possible. Also, don't forget the house rules, if you find dishonesty, you will sell them," Yi Xue said.

She needs to employ people now, and once the restaurant opens, it will be indispensable.

"These people shouldn't arrange too many assistants these days, let Tian Bing teach them to practice in the morning and read and write in the afternoon," Yi Xue said again.

After making arrangements, Yi Xue hid in the house and planted all the cotton seeds in the space. It is estimated that there must be enough cotton wool to make new clothes before winter.After finishing, she writes and draws on the paper, this time she will redesign the newly built house, this time to strive for perfection.

Well, if the water is like this, the bathroom should be indoors, so the water should be designed like this, and the rockery will be arranged here, and the place where apple trees will be planted......

This time Yi Xue did it very carefully, thinking through every place, every corner, and every detail.

"Elder Sister, mother called you", Erya shouted.

Yi Xue was contemplating deeply, when Er Ya called out, she came to her senses, and agreed.

Yi Xue thought for a while, and then asked Qiushui to call the Tian Zi generation.

"For such a long time, everyone has worked hard and learned to read and write. I am very pleased. However, there are still many things to do. Therefore, you will be the pillars of my Zhang family. In addition to reading and reading, I will improve your strength." , Yi Xue paused, then glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone was looking at him expectantly. Although they didn't know what the eldest lady was going to say, it must be a good thing to know.

"You have been practicing martial arts for two months. During this period, everyone is very serious, but this is not enough. If you practice martial arts normally, you will reach the realm of Master Xu Lei in ten years. I have a hunch that many things will happen, so , Today, I want to improve your skills, not weaker than Master Xu Lei", Yi Xue said, she didn't know why, she was very flustered today, and couldn't tell what would happen.

Tianwu was the most excited. He had the best foundation in martial arts. He thought he was the best, but in the end he found that he was actually much worse than the eldest lady's family. He had thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. But now, he understands that the eldest lady has the means to improve her skills.

"These are two 800-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, divided into Tianjia, each with one piece, I hope you can improve a little in this month," Yi Xue said, she made a plan, and everyone's martial arts will not surpass her own He Xiaojun and Erya are at most Xu Lei's level.

Everyone was numb to the 800-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and there were no more words of admiration for Yi Xue who could do miraculous things. They took the Ganoderma lucidum excitedly and went back to take it.

"Miss, what did you give them just now?" Xu walked in at this time and asked.

"This is an 800-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, I give it to you," Yi Xue said with a smile.

800-year-old Ganoderma lucidum?Xu Lei took a deep breath, and only now did he understand what happened just now.Immediately excited and shameless, he said, "Miss, I won't leave, I will protect you for the rest of my life, can you give me another plant?"

Yi Xue glared, "Don't forget it, I just have this one."

Xu Lei hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, why not, hehe"

In the afternoon, Zhang Xian came and said very politely, "Miss, I'm late, I don't know what Miss will do this time?"

"Mr. Zhang, I still want to build a house this time. Take a look at my drawings," Yi Xue said.

Zhang Xian took the drawing and looked at it carefully. It took an hour to look at it.Yi Xue's project this time is too big, Zhang Xian asked for advice one by one, and wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Girl, this project is too big, it is estimated to cost 900 taels of silver"

Yi Xue smiled, "You don't have to worry about money, as long as the project is done well."

Zhang Xian pondered for a while and said, "It is estimated that [-] workers will be needed to complete all the work before the snow falls."

Seventy workers, as Yi Xue roughly guessed, could no longer recruit people from the village, and they still had to work on mining carbon, so they had to recruit people from other villages.

Yi Xue immediately ordered Tianjia to go to Xiahe Village and other nearby villages to recruit people, explaining that he would take care of one meal a day and pay fifty Wen.The next day, many people came, and Yixue handed it over to Zhang Xian to make arrangements, and then asked Zhang to call some better village wives to take care of the cooking.

People came to work one after another, and on the third day, villagers from Xiahe Village, Shanghe Village, Lijia Village and other nearby villages all came.Because the autumn harvest is over, these people don't have much work, and they came here immediately when they heard that they were paid a lot of money to work here.

Zhang Xian arranged them one by one, classified them, and did it according to his own method.

Just as he was talking, Lao Zhang came forward and said that Miss Wen Ruonan had come, and Yi Xue rushed to meet her.

"Hehe, sister, I'll come to see you, I've been so bored for the past few days," Wen Ruonan said with a smile.

"I'm still thinking about my sister coming to stay for a few more days," Yi Xue said.

"Sister, is your family building another house?" Wen Ruonan was surprised to see the busy crowd not far away.

Yi Xue pulled Wen Ruonan into the courtyard, ordered Qiu Shui to serve tea, picked it up, took a sip, and said, "Yes, sister, our family is getting bigger and bigger."

"Now you are the real land rich man," Wen Ruonan said with a smile.

"My sister was joking"

"By the way, I didn't pay attention to congratulations, I found my relatives"

"Well, my mother also made up one wish," Yi Xue nodded.

Wen Ruonan asked with a smile, "Why are Xixue and Zhixue missing? Zhixue is so lively and cute, she is so lovely."

Yi Xue chuckled, turned to look at Wen Ruonan, and said mischievously, "Then let aunt give birth to a younger sister for you."

Wen Ruonan sighed, "Now that my illness is cured, I guess my mother will have the same idea. Dad has always wanted to have a son, but he never dared to mention it in front of me, for fear that I would be sad."

Yi Xue understands that every family wants to have a son who will inherit the incense and the family business.But now is obviously not the right time to bring up this topic.

"Sister, let's go out for a walk," Yi Xue said with a smile.

Wen Ruonan went out with Yi Xue, and saw the bustling scene, everyone moved things, made mud, and dug the foundation in an orderly manner.Yi Xue lamented Zhang Xian's ability, it was not easy to organize so many people together and follow the rules.

Mrs. Zhang was busy cooking with a group of women, but Yi Xue didn't join her. She took Wen Ruonan's little hand and ran to the field.A piece of green wheat seedlings grew out, fully half a finger high.

"Wow, it has grown," Yi Xue exclaimed in surprise.These days, Yi Xue didn't come to see her, she looks so good.

Wen Ruonan asked suspiciously, "Sister, what is this?"

"Food", Yi Xue said.

As for food, Wen Ruonan doesn't know the difference between grains and grains, and he can't figure out why, but is just happy with Yi Xue.

The two found a higher place, Qiu Shui took out the prepared blanket, and the three sat down.

"Sister, the beginning of winter will be in 20 days. I don't know what winter is like here." Yi Xue looked at the sky slowly.

Wen Ruonan looked at the yellowed grass here, "The grass here is not completely withered and yellow, it's really a good place, I heard that it's at the foot of the mountain, it's not cold in winter and not hot in summer"

Yi Xue said with a smile, "Sister, do you want to live here?"

Wen Ruonan elbowed his head, and said thoughtfully, "I also want to live a carefree life like this, but Daddy has a lot of troubles. I want to be with Daddy and make him happier."

Yi Xue's expression was gloomy, her father didn't know what he was doing, that father in name would come back after the Chinese New Year?If she came back alive, I don't know what would happen... Yi Xue was suddenly afraid of the appearance of that father she had never met. This feeling was like taking something from her.

"Sister, are you alright?" Wen Ruonan exclaimed when he suddenly noticed Yi Xue's face flickering.

Yi Xue came back to her senses, and said lazily, "It's okay, just a little sleepy"

"Then go back," Wen Ruonan suggested.

Yi Xue shook her head, "Sister, have you ever eaten beggar's chicken?"

"Beggar chicken? What kind of chicken is that?" Wen Ruonan asked curiously.

"Tianwu, go and catch a pheasant," Yi Xue laughed and shouted towards the nearby woods.

Wen Ruonan looked around, only to see a figure quickly disappear in the mountains.
