Alien landlady

Chapter 119 Part-time Vegetable Selling
The servants in the house were preparing the master's breakfast. Hearing the knock on the door, he wondered who it could be so early. A male servant hurried out to open the door. Seeing that it was Bai Tongtong, he rushed into the room.

Bai Tongtong didn't go anywhere, but went straight to the kitchen.

"Oh, Miss Bai, is there something important to come here so early? The principal is still washing up. I'll go upstairs and have a look." The butler was originally in the kitchen supervising breakfast, but seeing that the early morning visitor was Bai Tongtong, I thought something serious happened, and I was very nervous.

"No, no, it's nothing important. I'm here to make breakfast for the principal and his wife." Bai Tongtong grabbed the ring with his fingers, and threw out the basket of leeks with a bang.

"Oh!" The servants exclaimed happily, "It's vegetables!"

"Haven't you eaten fresh vegetables for a long time? Bring a basin and try my local dishes."

The cook hurriedly brought a basin for washing vegetables, Bai Tongtong put half of the basin in it, and told the cook to wash it, chop it up and cook it in soup.

At the same time, Bai Tongtong picked out some vegetable leaves and asked the cook to boil water for her. She washed the leaves and put them aside for later use. Then she took out the bread and sliced ​​it to make egg, ham and vegetable sandwiches. The servant tasted it together.

The crisp and tender vegetables blanched in boiling water had a great taste, and the servants were all smiling. With the aftertaste in their mouths, Mr. Housekeeper went upstairs to serve the principal with a smile on his face, but after hearing Bai Tongtong's words, he did not report to the principal and his wife for the time being Then give them a surprise.

Principal Hart finished washing up first, and went downstairs to eat in the restaurant, but as soon as he walked in, he saw Bai Tongtong standing beside his seat, saluted him with a smile and said good morning, and at the same time, Ahuang Nya said.

"Hey?!" Principal Hart thumped in his heart, "What's going on? How did you come back? Did you encounter difficulties?"

"Principal, don't be nervous. I'm here to do business." Bai Tongtong simply went up to him, took the principal's arm and sat down in front of the seat, spread a napkin for him, and uncovered the plate in front of him, which contained different sandwiches. sandwich.

The principal's piercing eyes immediately noticed that the sandwich had a vegetable skirt exposed outside.

"Is this fresh vegetables? Have you switched to selling vegetables?"

"Yeah, take care of the business?"

"Do you remember the day you passed?"

"March 3st."

"What's the date today?"

"number 3."

"In just two days, you changed your career to become a vegetable farmer? Would you mind telling me what happened? You used magic to give birth?"

"How is it possible? Hundreds of acres of vegetables are spawned by magic. I'm exhausted and I can't do it." Bai Tongtong dragged out the chair next to him and sat down.

"Hundreds of acres? There are so many? Isn't it the [-] acres of the guild?" Principal Hart pondered the taste.

"Of course not. The land hasn't been turned over yet. I've been shopping for things these two days."

"Then...?" The principal picked up a sandwich and was about to put it in his mouth.

"In the village outside the guild, a few widows and I rented their land to grow vegetables."

Headmaster Hart was stunned, biting the sandwich, and quickly put down the food, "Are they willing to rent it to you? No one objected?"

"Of course there is objection. At first I wanted to find some village women to help me with sewing, but it turned out to be a fight. Later, I talked with them, and they finally agreed, and they wanted to rent the land to me. .”

"What did you tell them?"

"Actually, the central thought that the villagers are afraid of is that the magician is the Lord's sinner. If you get too close to the magician, you will be willing to degenerate. You can't go to heaven after death. Then I will lift your majesty out. They deal with magicians every day and haven’t seen God punish them, so I tell them that God allows it, because God wants his believers to live a good life, so those who oppose the villagers to live a good life have bad intentions.”

Principal Hart and the butler beside him all stared wide-eyed, "Fortunately, you are from our magic world. Your hat is really hard buttoned, which makes sense. He has nothing to say in front of the archbishop."

"Of course, the villagers are richer and pay more taxes. No matter how upset the new priest is, he doesn't dare to complain about it publicly. The increase in taxes is his performance. As for the relationship between him and his superiors and colleagues? Talking about it is none of my business."

"You are blatantly grabbing the church's territory."

"So that's not the purpose of putting me there?"

"Slick tongue." Principal Hart scolded with a smile, and finally began to eat with peace of mind, "Mm, this vegetable is very tender."

"Early this morning, the villagers specially picked a basket for me, with dewdrops on it. I brought them all. Principal, can you take care of the business?"

"What is this vegetable called? How long is it growing?"

"I call it Chive Yabai. It can be on the market in ten days, and it can be harvested three or four times after sowing. Locally, they call fast-growing vegetables that grow within two months. This is the fastest-growing vegetable."

"A hundred acres are all this?"

"No, a group of widows with underage children, planting a few acres of rations is a problem. Most of the land is unused there. I will rent it in the name of the guild. I will rent the land with the guild. I will tell you what to plant. Forget it, I am responsible for the harvest alone, and the guild only has stable land rent income on its books, and there is no risk."

"Well, you're careful planning, but if the guild passes in the middle, the cost of a land like yours will go up."

"So I'm just relying on the principal. Taking advantage of the blank period when local vegetables are not on the market, I will earn back the land rent first."

"How do you transport? Teleportation array? Do you know how much you have to deliver to spread the freight?"

"The amount of vegetables consumed by the teachers and students of the school every day is not a small amount. There are hundreds of acres of ready-made arable land. I have planted more than ten kinds of vegetables with different growth periods. Like this leek bud, it grows fast and can be cut several times. The second time, the price is cheaper, and it doesn’t matter if you lose a little bit. There will be a growth period of about 15 to 20 days after that. Come here again and again. The previous loss can be made up later. The main purpose is to let people know that in the local area In the season when there are no vegetables, there are still a lot of fresh vegetables from other places to choose from."

"If you sell it a little further north, the price can be higher. Some high-end restaurants and rich people are willing to pay."

"The principal really understands me very well."

"Stop flattering, and you have to look like a business when doing business. You know how many teachers and students there are in the whole school. Send more tomorrow. If everyone eats happily, you will have a good business."

"Thank you principal, I will deliver it tomorrow!"

"Tongtong?!" Mrs. Hart walked into the restaurant, very surprised.

"Good morning, ma'am." Bai Tongtong jumped up and greeted Mrs. Hart with a hug, took her to her seat, and took off the lady's sandwich plate, "I'm here to do business with the principal, look."

"Is it vegetables? You seem to have only been there for two days? Are you changing careers?" Mrs. Hart cast her puzzled eyes on her husband.

"Ma'am, you are exactly what the principal said." Bai Tongtong was helpless, as expected of a husband and wife.

"We are husband and wife." Mrs. Hart smiled gracefully, laid out the napkin, and picked up a sandwich to taste the vegetables.

"However, selling vegetables is also my job. I am a future earth mage. Any product on the earth is our responsibility. Farmers should actually be our believers."

"Well, fortunately the archbishop is not here, otherwise the religious war that has been subdued for a long time will be rekindled because of your words." Principal Hart bit the second sandwich, and gave Bai Tongtong a disapproving glance.

"That's right. It took me all afternoon to persuade the villagers to do business with me. I don't want to do business that makes money. Isn't it foolish to believe in religion?"

"Is their reason because they are too close to the magician and can't go to heaven after death?" The taste of vegetables is very suitable for the wife, and she glanced at Bai Tongtong with a smile, "Is that town so closed? No one in the city has mentioned it for a long time. Point of view, where do they still keep it?"

"The town is really closed. It is said that life is convenient because the guild has a teleportation array. I can go anywhere, but for the locals, it is actually a very closed environment. Because of the rules made by the former lord, the villagers have never They dare not go to the border forest for activities, but dare to carefully ask me to still allow them to use the artificial forest for grazing and picking.

"Oh, if they go to a big city, they will be regarded as monsters by the citizens."

"They really look at me like a monster."

Mrs. Hart gave Bai Tongtong a sympathetic look of comfort.

"But how did you break through the concepts formed by generations of villagers in one afternoon and achieve your goal?"

"Lift Your Majesty first. The relationship between His Majesty, who is bestowed by the king and the magician, is even closer, and the gods have not condescended. Use this trick to break the long-standing fixed concepts of the villagers, and then selectively re-glue the fragments together. To put it bluntly, the villagers can only pay more taxes when they have money, and they can also make donations at ordinary times. The Lord likes the donations of believers, which means that believers are living well. If the new priest is not stupid, he will definitely choose to ignore Silent, and maybe he will secretly support my statement and make the surrounding villages do business with me. I just don’t know his experience, whether he has lived in a big city, if he was transferred from a small place, most likely There is nothing new." Bai Tongtong told his wife again, she thought she would have to repeat it several times before going to school.

"You haven't met the new priest yet?" The headmaster finished his two sandwiches and began to drink soup.

"I haven't even met the new mayor. I only know that the mayor of a nearby village was promoted."

"When you've packed everything up, invite them to dinner and have a meet and greet."

"Well, I thought so too. Whether they come or not can tell their attitude towards me." Bai Tongtong tilted her head slightly, and began to plan the dishes for the meeting banquet.

The discussion on Bai Tongtong's rapid work efficiency has come to an end. Bai Tongtong is drinking the tea handed by the butler, sitting in the dining room while reading, waiting for the principal to go back to the bedroom after breakfast to change clothes and prepare to go. He also took away the basket of vegetables .

A basket of vegetables was divided twice, and the remaining amount was a little small, just enough for the teachers to taste. The method is also simple, boil soup or cut into shreds, blanch them in boiling water, and then make cold salad as an appetizer. Bai Tongtong followed the main purpose of coming to school It was the children of the aristocrats and rich families with backgrounds who sold the vegetables she grew to the parents behind them.

When we arrived at the school, it was still the school restaurant's business hours. The principal's carriage stopped at the entrance of the driveway leading to the noble dormitory area. A Huang, who had already used the ground escape technique, came out from behind the woods, and the two of them walked straight to the restaurant.

On the trail near the restaurant, the students who came out after breakfast walked towards their dormitories in twos and threes. They suddenly saw Bai Tongtong, and just wanted to greet her habitually, but suddenly remembered her current identity, and immediately obediently stood on the side of the road and greeted her. She salutes.

Bai Tongtong held up the posture of a superior, raised her head and chest to return the salute to them, until she pushed open the door of the restaurant and walked in.

The students sitting near the door saw her first, and called out "President Bai", which attracted everyone's attention. They stood up together and saluted Bai Tongtong in unison.

Bai Tongtong accepted the salutation from the students with her hands behind her back, smiled and asked everyone to sit down and continue eating, then she walked towards the seats where the three of them were sitting.

The students next to him immediately gave up their seats, but they pricked up their ears curiously, wanting to hear what Bai Tongtong was talking to them about.

"Tongtong." Annie waved at Bai Tongtong a little excitedly, Trim and Ted both responded by drawing circles in the bowl with a spoon, pursing their lips and not looking straight at them.

"You two young masters, are you interested in discussing a business?"

The two boys still rolled their eyes in displeasure, but Ai Ni moved closer to Bai Tongtong with great interest, "I'll listen to you."

"I got hundreds of acres of uncultivated farmland in the village. There are fast-growing vegetables that can be marketed in ten days. I wonder if the two young masters are interested in building a bridge?"

The students sitting nearby heard the word vegetable with their ears pricked up like rabbits. They haven't seen fresh green in winter. Although it is the spring plowing season in Menise City, there are no vegetables that grow in ten days.

"Are the vegetables delicious?" Trim and Ted, the two young masters whose hometowns are in the north, haven't said anything yet, but the other students couldn't help it.

"It's very delicious, tender and crispy. I'll send a batch to the school tomorrow. If you feel good after eating it, remember to write to me."

"But how do you transport it? Teleportation array? The shipping fee is more expensive than the price of vegetables."

"The price can be favored if the quantity is large. You only buy what you eat at home. Of course, the shipping cost is skyrocketing."

The students nodded, so they understood.

"President Bai, do you have any other vegetables besides those from the past ten days? I heard that the weather in Fabao Town is pretty good."

"The climate is very good, humid, rainy and warm, very suitable for the growth of plants, and the cultivated land is the best first-class land. You can grow anything. There are many varieties of vegetables that grow within two months. There are hundreds of acres of cultivated land. Not enough."

"Wow, Chairman Bai has become a big landlord over there."

"You are welcome to come and play when you have time, and you can eat the dishes I made by myself." Bai Tongtong proudly threw out his best tricks.

The students immediately roared with laughter. Even Trim and Ted forgot that they were deliberately angry just now. Many people shouted amidst the laughter that they must write letters to their families.

Ai Ni and the others finished breakfast quickly, and left the dining room with Bai Tongtong. Before they broke up and went back to the dormitory, Bai Tongtong got the latest news.

The school opened several basic courses in one breath, and the new teachers have also arrived. The first test for all students is to get a basic understanding of mathematics. It is said that according to the scores, students will be divided into several different classes according to their mathematical ability. Students with good foundations study For more difficult knowledge, if the foundation is weak, the basics should be supplemented first. What makes people worry is that I heard that new teachers may use the latest research results in the academic world as example problems in class.

Bai Tongtong reassured them that she was behind her. If they didn't understand, please write to her and ask her. She is also very interested in the research results of the academic circle.

Bai Tongtong really wants to know what is being debated in the academic world composed of ordinary people about the air pressure and water pressure that magicians have researched.

Because he was rushing back to plow the land, Bai Tongtong didn't go back to the dormitory with Aini, so he just said goodbye.

When walking out of the teleportation array of the Forborg Town Guild, the people arranged by Bernard in the hall were sitting behind a standard counter. Even if no guests came, a receptionist must be arranged in turn in the hall, so there was nothing to say. From time to time, messengers from other places will come.

The farmers went to the village with new farm tools after breakfast. They had a lot of work to do today. Bai Tongtong was a little worried about whether the widows and landowners had enough vegetable seeds. After all, the harvests on their land kept coming Taxes are not enough, are they?

After much deliberation, Bai Tongtong took Ah Huang to the village.

When I came here yesterday afternoon, it was cloudy and I didn’t have time to pay attention to the farmland. Today, the sun is shining brightly. Walking on the village road with stagnant water, the villagers are all working in the farmland. Because of the lack of effective irrigation facilities, they can only rely on manpower to push the wheelbarrow. Put a big tub full of water, and use a ladle to water the ground.

The efficiency of this agricultural production is too low, but on the other hand, the potential for improvement is huge.

Ah Huang caught all kinds of smells in the air, and brought Bai Tongtong to the field where her farmers gathered together.

The widows' farmlands are scattered here and there, and they are not next to each other, but because they want to teach the farmers in Baitongtong about local vegetables, they moved stools and gathered in the open space in the center of the village to talk.The widows’ families originally had large livestock for farming, but after the death of the man, their lives were worsened day by day, and the livestock were all taxed, which is why they were unable to plant so much farmland. died.

When they saw Bai Tongtong coming, they all stood up to greet her and offered their seats to her.

Because we will deliver vegetables to the school tomorrow, we must first know how much vegetables the village can provide. If there are not enough vegetables, we will go to the morning market in the town to buy them tomorrow morning.

The answer is expected. The staple food that other villagers grow, at most, they grow a few rows of vegetables in the corners, enough for their own food. Occasionally, they take them to the town to exchange for oil and salt. Only these few widows grow them to make money. There are more vegetables, but the output that can be harvested is not enough.
