Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 166
The family had a lively Mid-Autumn Festival, and then they started to go about their own business again. First, Xiao Hoe entered Chinese studies. On the third day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Hoe packed his luggage and arrived at Lan Lingxue in the capital. He put his things in the house, and went to the Chinese school with ease. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he had already come to the Chinese school to inquire about it. The Chinese school can live or study, and the little hoe plans to go back to the house. After all , my sister built a martial arts training ground for herself in the backyard of the house. Every day when I get up early and before going to bed at night, I can practice for two hours. It is much more convenient than in Chinese studies. Where there is a lot of trouble, they are all the sons of high-ranking and wealthy families. In case there is any involvement, and my family has no background to show for it, I have to be bullied by others. Little Hoe has thought it through clearly, and it is better to minimize it as much as possible. It's good to cause trouble, but you can't let your sister fill in the hole for everything, no, when you have the ability to solve the trouble yourself, it's not too late to show up.

I took the note sent by the second prince, and quickly went through the formalities. During the period, no one made things difficult for me, and it was smooth sailing. Lan Lingxue wanted to help him prepare a servant, but the master sent his second boy The leopard came over and asked him to follow the little hoe, half to protect, half to accompany the little hoe, so he followed the little hoe, even though there was someone around the little hoe, Lan Lingxue helped him find a boy to follow, One is that it is not good to let Er Baozi take care of everything. After all, he is the second senior brother in terms of name. He washes his face, serves meals, fetches water, and carries bags. How dare he let him do it. Besides, Lan Lingxue found a younger brother Boys of the same age as Hoe, let them grow up together, and those who eat and sleep together will have a bond, thinking that when they grow up, they will be close to each other, and Xiao Hoe can also help, right? For my sister Little Hoe has never disobeyed his arrangement, not to mention that such an arrangement is really appropriate, and Little Hoe is embarrassed to ask the second senior brother to help him do this and that. If the environment is disadvantageous, then it is right to act as a guard, thinking that when he brings out the servants around him, he will not need the second senior brother to follow him. He did not expect that this envoy would be a lifetime of never leaving, From this day on, Little Hoe started his school life in the capital.

And dear, all the ice shops in the city have replaced all kinds of fruit juices and dairy products, because it is not yet deep winter, there is still a certain demand for fruit juices at room temperature, and the fruit juices in Lan's shop , there are many exotic fruits, such as lychee, banana, longan, blueberry, carambola, lemon, loquat, rambutan, etc. There are many kinds of fruits, which are rare in the capital, and they are collected by Li Yongtai when he goes out. When it came to food, he helped his daughter collect it, and Zhao Lianqing came across a special variety of fruits and vegetables when he went out to open a new shop, and helped the lady bring them back. He knows that no matter what crop it is, it doesn’t matter It is suitable for planting in the north. Once it is in the hands of the eldest lady, there is nothing that will not survive. As long as he can bring the seeds back, the eldest lady can turn them into fresh fruits. Therefore, Zhao Lianqing has never worried about whether things are difficult to grow. Just swipe to the capital.

Although the price of the fruit juice ordered in the Lan's shop is high, but what is the capital like? It is a place where high-ranking officials and rich people live, and there are many people who want to try something new and want to show off. The higher the price, the higher the price. The more distinctive the value is, the more customers will come in an endless stream, and the shop in the west of the city, Lan Lingxue has been playing the style of common people's consumption, using the most common fruits, but the taste can be guaranteed Yes, ordinary people can afford it, and the sales are quite impressive. What's more, there are so many carefully prepared dairy products, which were all invented by Lan Lingxue later, such as hot milk, yogurt, milk tea, etc. Once it came out, it caused quite a stir, and the shop became even more popular, and Lin Qiutang kept busy. Seeing the customers flooding in, she became even more energetic. He didn't feel tired, but Lan Erzhuang was so distressed that he kept yelling that his daughter-in-law had lost weight, but his daughter-in-law loved it so much that he couldn't stop it.

Lan Erzhuang watched his daughter-in-law make the business flourish, and he also refused to admit defeat. The supply of his own greenhouse is now in short supply. Although they don't take out, they are still in great demand, especially those of the second prince. In the hot pot shop, the daily consumption is surprisingly large. Fortunately, there is a girl’s clear spring water, otherwise it really can’t support it, but it’s starting to be stretched, not to mention that the girl has to occupy the greenhouse to grow all kinds of strange fruits. Zhuangzi, it is really not enough for his own tribe now, so he spent a lot of effort to buy another Zhuangzi near his own Zhuangzi. This Zhuangzi took a lot of effort, and he didn't want to sell it at first. , because the master of the family is going to go to Shaanxi to be the magistrate, and the population of the family is small, it is really not enough to manage the family's Zhuangzi shop or something, so I thought it would be better to take the family out and rent the shop to others, only charging rent , Divide the village into pieces, lease them to farmers for planting, and wait until I return from office, and then continue to collect rent money.

When Lan Erzhuang heard about this, he begged an acquaintance of the two families to act as an intermediary. He expressed his sincerity in wanting to buy this Zhuangzi, and also said how many of the leased Zhuangzi were the most difficult to manage. In this place, there is no family. This Zhuangzi asked these farmers to plant for several years, and they all wanted to take advantage of the fertilizer to produce more grain. Who would plant and raise the land at the same time? I am afraid that when they come back, the entire Zhuangzi’s land will be poor. , I want to raise it again for a few more years, and the harvest for a few years is in vain. The loss outweighs the gain. It’s okay to say that when the big dad reports his work and returns to Beijing, the farmers feel that the harvest is not very satisfactory and they don’t want to pay the rent. If he came out and ran away with the harvest and rent, could he still search for the few taels of silver in Wuxia Kingdom? No one can say whether the released officials will be able to return in three years, maybe six years, or nine years. It's fine to buy it again. It's more uncertain than this, and I'm worried. Anyway, in the end, Lan Erzhuang really made sense.

Zhuangzi is 2000 mu, but there are no green brick walls and luxuriously built houses inside. Lan Lingxue spent [-] taels of silver to buy it and put it under the name of Xiao Hoe. Discuss with my daughter that this Zhuangzi is specially used to grow those rare fruits. Lan Lingxue thinks about it, this is okay, there is really no place to grow these fruits in the greenhouse of Zhuangzi, but here, use The Zhuangzi fence surrounded by birch sticks is absolutely unusable, so the father and father decided to buy some blue bricks and build a fence for this Zhuangzi. After all, the things grown in their own family are too shocking. People have seen it, there are only advantages and no disadvantages, and the farmers on their own farms are no longer surprised. They only think that their boss has some top-secret means to raise what they grow. The survival rate is very high, and they grow very fast. It’s especially good. I don’t even need to do the work of pulling weeds and picking insects, because there are no weeds or lettuce insects in the greenhouse. The work is much less than before, and I have food, drink, and clothing at home, so I don’t care. There are so many things, not to mention that the boss treats people well, and all the members of my family have signed the contract. If the matter is leaked out, what good will it do for me? Wherever it is sold, it is nothing more than detrimental to others.

It has been a month since Lan Lingxue opened up the wine in the warehouse and started to filter the dregs. After the wine is brewed, the grape seeds, grape skins, and fermented The pulp is filtered out, which is called filter residue. Lan Lingxue prepared two empty buckets and two ten-layer gauze. The gauze was boiled in boiling water and exposed to the sun. Lan Lingxue was really afraid If something unclean contaminates the wine again, all these efforts will be in vain. She asked Qiuyue to look at the peasant women, wash their hands and faces, and then wear clothes that have been exposed to the sun, trying to achieve the best hygiene. Okay, then teach them how to wrap the gauze around the wine barrel, and then how to pour the grapes on the gauze to filter. With so many layers of gauze, the wine filtered out should have no dross, and it has been filtered twice, and finally The wine filtered into the wooden barrel is crystal clear, and under the sunlight, it shines with a light purple red, ruby-like luster.

After all the tossing and tossing, it took a day and a half to filter the wine. Lan Lingxue sealed the lid of the wine barrel tightly. Although the wine is now brewed, I like it. Anyone who drinks wine knows that if you store the brewed wine well and prolong the storage time, its taste will be better. The longer it is stored, the stronger the taste of the wine will be. Now this wine is ready to drink, but Lan Lingxue likes wine with a strong taste. If it is stored for a longer time, the aroma of the wine will be more mellow. When it is in the glass, shake the wine and see it Hanging on the wall of the glass cup, it has been reluctant to slide down for a long time, and it has a taste of time, which is very memorable.

Parents and little hoe are all busy with their own business. Lan Lingxue is busy helping the second prince to open a shop, and arranged for Zhao Lianqing to follow the second prince's shop and open his own Lanjia chain store. Lan Lingxue bought two more clever servants, and asked Zhao Lianqing to look at them himself. After nodding, he recognized Zhao Lianqing as his master, and asked Zhao Lianqing to take them all over the country, hoping to bring these two together. After the training, Zhao Lianqing will be able to relax in the future and don't have to run around. After these two years, Lan Lingxue has also seen that Zhao Lianqing is really hardworking and a rare talent, so she wants to keep him in the capital. Zhao Lianqing is very happy. I understand the painstaking efforts of the eldest lady, so I try my best to train these two boys. After all, these two people will also be the eldest lady in the future, and I can't get out of my own palm when I bring them out. In the future, the eldest lady should let herself be in charge of the chain stores across the country, and if there are jobs like running around, these two little ones can take over completely. , Lan Lingxue couldn't help but sigh with emotion, these days really passed so quickly, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a blink of an eye.
