In the northeast corner of Mingyuan’s west courtyard, there is a very strange house, neither a tile house nor a weed house.

There is no floor mat in the house. In addition to the dozens of square meters of blue bricks at the door, most of the area is covered with soft soil. The roof material is no longer traditional rafters, but wooden frames in neat grid shape. The wooden frames are fixed and covered with several layers of oil-soaked plain silk. This special plain silk is similar to oil paper, which can be waterproof, windproof, sunproof, but is more transparent.

In addition, all the partition walls in the middle of the house have been demolished, leaving only the columns. What the ancients called "the world changes the autumn air, and the room is hard to make spring" obviously is not suitable for this place.

Because the walls of the house are equipped with pottery pipes leading to the stove outside the house, as long as there is sufficient firewood, it can continue to heat at any time. Even if the autumn wind is rustling outside and the cold air is infiltrating, the house can still be as warm as spring.

Nowadays, people are busy here every day, carrying water, watering, hoeing soil, and fertilizing, and working very hard. Chen Taoer is one of them.

In Chen Taoer's eyes, Li Yao, the lord of Mingyuan, was the person who made her feel more strange than this room.

Because Li Yao even the most commonly used farm tools nowadays are not as good as a person who has done farm work at all, but he can teach her some strange but very effective planting methods.

At that time, Li Yao listed two work patterns for her. One is called short-term work, with a construction period from mid-September to late December each year. The settlement remuneration is 500 cents, one stone of grain and five dou of rice, and ten kilograms of mutton; the other is called Changgong, which means that he is employed in Mingyuan all year round. In addition to the New Year, Shangyuan Festival, Spring Dragon Festival and Spring Plowing Period, he will stay in Mingyuan to work. The remuneration is naturally much higher than that of short-term worker, with an annual salary of 8 jin, ten jin of grain and rice, and a sheep.

Chen Taoer was originally just a mess for her father in Zong Shengguan. She didn't even get a penny except for two meals a day. Now she can earn a dowry money by herself. Of course, like her brother and sister-in-law, she signed a contract for long-term workers without hesitation.

Chen Taoer is a smart person, learns craftsmanship quickly and works hard. The little girl in the countryside doesn't care much about men and women's defenses. As soon as she enters the room, she rolls up her sleeves and wears a pair of lotus root-like arms, busy up and down, running back and forth.

Although Li Yao appointed Chen Wulang as the manager of the greenhouse, she was actually the top leader here. Moreover, Li Yao usually communicated with her first before giving guidance to Chen Wulang and his wife.

As for the others, they were just slaves and maids in Mingyuan, so they would naturally obey her arrangements. After all, the owner of Mingyuan also set relevant reward and punishment rules. If the losses are caused by improper handling, they will be punished.

For example, Li Yao bought expensive "pineapple" seeds from the West Market. A maid was smart and probably had some psychological resistance to Chen Taoer, who was extremely active. She did not do it according to the owner's requirements, and deliberately sprinkled the ash unevenly, resulting in the death of all the vegetables. As a result, the owner of Mingyuan found out that he was locked up in the dark room for two days and almost turned into a fool.

It was also through this incident that Chen Taoer was fortunate to see Li Yao's cold and harsh side, and he did not dare to slack off...
