Chapter 178 Uninvited Guest
The carriage was too bumpy. Aunt Kong was old after all, so Shen Jintang asked Bai Ji to slow down the carriage.
Since Su Mu was asked to take over the duties of managing people in Zhuangzi, Bai Ji also took over Su Mu's duties of driving cars.
Bai Ji is very safe in his work, but he is very suitable for driving.
Aunt Kong knew that Shen Jintang asked Bai Ji to slow down the car because he was considering her health, and she was deeply moved for a moment.
She has lived to this age and has no children around her. Even the cousin He Guanjia can't do everything for her.
Grandma Kong made up her mind that she must teach Shen Jintang the rules and etiquette, and when she gets hairpins, she can help her develop her eyesight and choose a son-in-law with a good family background, character, and appearance. p>
Master Jiang saw that there was also a tea set in the carriage, so he smiled and said to Shen Jintang: "Miss, since you have a tea set in the carriage, why don't I come and teach you the tea ceremony now?"
When Shen Jintang heard this, he smiled and nodded in agreement.
Anyway, Zhuangzi is quite far away and the carriage moves slowly.
If you are idle during this period, you might as well learn something from Master Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang looks like Xiuzhu, and her leisurely and clear manner should not be offended.
But her lectures were lively and interesting and never boring at all.
Not only Shen Jintang listened with great interest, Qingdai and Bai Zhi were also fascinated by it.
It was not a short journey, but we arrived before we knew it.
"Girl, we're in Zhuangzi." Bai Ji's voice came from outside the carriage.
Master Jiang smiled when he heard this, drank the tea in his hand, and said to Shen Jintang: "Miss, we are here, let's stop here first."
Shen Jintang smiled and nodded when he heard this, drank the tea in his hand, stood up, opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.
"This Zhuangzi is so big!" Mother Kong sighed after getting off the carriage and looking at the big Zhuangzi.
When Bai Zhi heard this, she smiled and said, "No, this hilltop has been bought by the girl now."
When Mother Kong and Master Jiang heard this, they looked at Shen Jintang in surprise.
She even bought the top of the mountain. She is rich enough.
Nowadays, the mountains are full of wild trees, which have no value other than cutting them down for fire.
When he learned that Shen Jintang was coming, Su Mu rushed over.
"I'm fine, girl." Su Mu saluted Shen Jintang with a bright smile.
Shen Jintang also smiled and said, "Excuse me, why are you so happy?"
Su Mu smiled even wider when he heard this, showing his big white teeth.
He pointed to a row of newly built cowsheds not far away and said, "Girl, I haven't been to the village for more than half a month. I bought two hundred calves and have put them in the newly built cowsheds."
When Shen Jintang heard this, he immediately became interested and said, "Come on, take us there and have a look."
Su Mu smiled respectfully and nodded, leading the way.
Without even taking a cup of tea, I arrived in front of the row of cowsheds.
The calves were lowering their heads to eat the cut grass. When they heard the noise, they all raised their heads and looked towards them.
As if he didn't feel the malice emanating from Shen Jintang and others, he lowered his head again to drink water and eat grass.
"Girl, there are pig nests and sheep pens next to it." Su Mu said to Shen Jintang.
Shen Jintang nodded when he heard this and said to him: "You can lead the way."
Su Mu said yes and walked to the two rows of pig pens.
Inside are all piglets over one month old, including white pigs and spotted pigs.
"How many piglets are there?" Shen Jintang asked Sumu after looking around.
Su Mu smiled respectfully and replied: "These are five hundred piglets in total."
Piglets prefer to bark, and their voices are shrill and harsh.
Although these five hundred piglets were put into different pig pens, there were about ten piglets in each pig pen.
They bark non-stop in order to fight for food.
Shen Jintang only stayed for a while before he felt that his ears were noisy. He quickly said to Su Mu: "Take me to see the sheepfold."
Su Mu nodded and said, "Okay, girl, come this way."
"Lambs are cheaper, so I want a thousand."
Shen Jintang nodded. Now there are chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, pigs, and cows in this village. In the future, whether you want to eat meat, eggs, or grains and vegetables, you can be self-sufficient.
All that’s missing is fish.
Thinking of this, Shen Jintang looked at Sumu and said, "You can surround the river twice with barbed wire to avoid the area where ducks and geese swim, and then buy some fry and put it in."
When Su Mu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he patted his head and said with a smile: "This is a good idea, I will buy fish fry later."
Fish fry are not as expensive as pigs, cattle and sheep. You only need to spend a little money to buy a lot of them.
Shen Jintang: "I have made a batch of anti-epidemic powder to prevent and treat infectious diseases in livestock. You have people drive a few trucks and go to my house to bring the anti-epidemic powder."
Nowadays, there are more than 20 carts in Zhuangzi, which are specially used to pull things.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu quickly waved to someone and said to him: "Take a few people and pull a cart to the girl's house to pull the medicinal powder that the girl developed."
After all, Grandma Kong is getting older. After following Shen Jintang around the village for a while, she felt a little tired.
Shen Jintang heard her breathing a little labored, and smiled and said: "Mommy, if you are tired, go to the house in the village to rest first."
A place for Shen Jintang to rest has been built in this village.
A small courtyard specially set up.
When Grandma Kong heard this, she smiled and said: "Hey, I'm getting old, but I'm no longer useful. I'm tired after just walking a few steps.
I won’t disturb you, girl, I’m going to have a rest first.”
Shen Jintang smiled when he heard this, looked at Master Jiang again, and asked with a smile: "Master, are you tired too? Do you want to take a rest with Grandma Kong?"
Hearing this, Mr. Jiang smiled elegantly, shook his head and said, "I'm not tired yet, so let's go for a walk with the girl. At first glance, I found the various things in this village really interesting."
She used to teach and educate people in the backyards of wealthy families. She had never seen such an ecological environment.
Shen Jintang nodded and asked Bai Zhi to help Grandma Kong go back to rest.
"Su Mu, when it's not too busy, you can have people cut down the useless trees on this mountain." Shen Jintang looked at Su Mu and said, "I'll have people transport some mulberry branches over here. Plant mulberry trees on the hilltop."
As time went by, Shen Jintang discovered more and more the benefits of mulberry trees.
Now this hilltop is hers, and if some useless miscellaneous trees are allowed to grow on the hilltop, it would be better to plant them all with mulberry trees.
Su Mu kept Shen Jintang's instructions in mind one by one.
After the workers in Zhuangzi brought the anti-epidemic powder made by Shen Jintang on a cart, Shen Jintang took out a packet of anti-epidemic powder and said to him: "One packet of powder is mixed with twenty kilograms of water and fed to the livestock in Zhuangzi." They drank it for three days.
From now on, I will drink it every month, and you will go to my house regularly at the beginning of every month to get the powder."
Upon hearing this, Su Mu quickly wrote down carefully: "Okay, please don't worry, girl."
It's getting late now, and Shen Jintang is ready to go home.
