Chapter 349 Prepare for a rainy day

 "I want to open a factory and raise a few cows."

Xu Jiang thought there was something wrong with his ears and said in disbelief: "Do you know how much a cow costs?"

Cows were considered a labor force in ancient times. The price of a cow ranged from twenty to thirty taels of silver. The average family could not even afford to raise a cow, let alone several cows.

"You only need to give me land and money, and I will take care of it."

"Okay, okay!" Xu Jiang agreed, "Just wait, I will help you solve this problem in a day or two."

"Okay, you measure the land and prepare the contract. Then I will ask the laborers to help me fence the fence and build the shed."

Xia Qianqian warned, "I will give you the drawings and follow the instructions on the drawings. I will not be short of money for the land and wages."

"Okay!" This girl did things neatly and neatly, and Xu Jiang's agreement was unambiguous.

Not far away, Uncle Wang heard the conversation between the two and walked over, "Girl, why do you suddenly want to raise cows? Are you dissatisfied with the cows I found for you?"

"No!"

Xia Qianqian is very grateful to Uncle Wang for always being by her side, supporting her and helping him when she started her business.

"The pearl milk tea produced by the 'Jiajia Fa' shop will not only be sold, but also the formula will be provided to Juwanglou in the future. If necessary, semi-finished products will be provided. The family you found has only one cow..."

She paused and asked: "If his cows cannot provide milk, then our entire business will be paralyzed and shut down. This risk is too great and I am not willing to take it."

What the girl said is reasonable, and Uncle Wang cannot refute it.

After all, their family moved to Jiangcheng, and there was no need for him to pick them up in the future. Uncle Wang felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Xia Qianqian understood his feelings and suggested: "Uncle Wang, from now on you can help me raise cattle and I will pay you for the labor. Is that okay?"

"Raise cows?" Uncle Wang suddenly raised his head, his cloudy eyes revealed all kinds of disbelief, "Let me raise them?"

"Of course I want you to help me raise it!"

Xia Qianqian pursed her lips and said solemnly: "Our family has never raised cows, and we don't understand the art of raising cows. We built a cow farm and raised cows because we want the pearl milk tea we make to have pure milk.

If it is restricted by others, then this cattle breeder must be handed over to the person I trust the most."

Xia Qianqian said confidently: "Don't worry, the work of raising cattle is quite arduous. You can't do it alone by cutting grass and fetching water. If we hire someone else, you can look after it for me and be a technical guide."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Wang felt as if he had been beaten to death, and he was so excited, "Girl, if you give me wages, how can I hire others and make you spend more money? I will do a good job for you!"

"Okay!" Xia Qianqian put down all the comforting words, "We moved to Jiangcheng because we don't want the elderly and children to travel back and forth, which is too hard. In the future, we will come back from time to time. After all, our roots are still there.

In Fu'an Village, the crops in the fields and the poultry in the house still need to be taken care of."

After having a deep conversation with Uncle Wang, Xia Qianqian turned around and was dumbfounded when she saw a pile of things at the door of her house.

She took a deep breath, "We have to rush to the 'Everyone Fa' shop to do business, and all these things are a burden."

"But..." Li Yunniang is not willing to leave any of the things here.

"Let's go first. I'll just bring a little of these things every day."

Li Yunniang wanted to protest, but under Xia Qianqian's intense gaze, she put the things back where they were.

As time goes by, time is lost.

Li Yunniang wanted to urge Xia Qianqian to leave first, but when she turned around, she found that there was no one at the door of Mo's house next door, and even the green carriage that usually parked at the door was nowhere to be seen.

"This...Mr. Mo sent you back yesterday. When did he leave today?"

Xia Qianqian looked at the empty door and looked up at the distant mountain peaks. "The wind has picked up. He should have left very early."

Several people locked the door and got into Uncle Wang's oxcart.

The old scalper walked slowly along the road beside the Fu'an River.

Today, there are significantly more soldiers patrolling the river than in the past.

On the river, many official ships were coming and going. Looking from the shore, you could clearly see the soldiers on board, holding long hair and wearing armor, majestic and imposing.

Yuan Bao was excited for a moment and wanted to stand up from time to time to see more clearly: "Mom, when I grow up, I want to be a soldier. Look, how majestic they are!"

In the eyes of children, they only know that a military uniform is cool and handsome, but they don’t know what kind of responsibility and burden it is to wear this uniform, and what kind of risks and sacrifices they have to face.

Li Yunniang grabbed him tightly and kept telling him: "Sit down quickly, don't fall off the bullock cart."

When she came back to her senses, she looked at the soldiers on the boat with indescribable melancholy in her eyes.

Is this posture going to lead to another war?

While driving the cattle, Uncle Wang warned Xia Qianqian beside him: "When you move to Jiangcheng, stay in the house well and don't run around. The world in Jiangcheng is not peaceful!"

There are some things that old people see clearly.

"Hmm!"

In the carriage, Nanny Gui and Hua Zhuer were busy embroidering sachet bags.

Grandma Gui is truly a walking encyclopedia. There seems to be nothing in this world that she doesn’t know how to do.

When Li Yunniang wanted to weave a basket, she would pick up the bamboo strips and dry them. The bamboo baskets weaved had many patterns and were more beautiful and durable.

Hua Zhuer wanted to learn from Nuhong to make a sachet, so she picked up a piece of needlework and a small piece of rag, and after a while, a lifelike peony flower jumped up.

At this time, even Li Yunniang was impressed. Several women gathered around Grandma Gui, asking her for advice one by one.

In her previous life, Xia Qianqian worked with needlework all day long, but the things she stitched were people's flesh. As for mending clothes, she was really not good at it.

Now, she is too lazy to learn.

She sat on the shaft of the car and stretched out her hand. The wind blew her sleeves and tore her hair.

The sky today is overcast and windy.

The trees on the shore swayed their treetops, and their leaves made a rustling sound.

Xia Qianqian looked in the direction of the green mountains and whispered, "Squid!"

The bullock cart bumped all the way to Jiangcheng.

Today, Jiangcheng is as lively and prosperous as usual.

But upon closer inspection, there were a lot more soldiers patrolling the streets. Under the bustling atmosphere, there was a suppressed silence.

The ox cart was traveling along its original route and was blocked.

Uncle Wang stepped forward to inquire about it. It turned out that a horse at the street corner was frightened and the carriage rolled over. There was an accident. I don’t know when it will be over.

So, the bullock cart turned around and headed to the side alley.

After leaving the alley, we came to the main street and happened to pass by the gate of Yalan Tea House.

Two days ago, there was a lot of traffic in front of the teahouse and an endless stream of guests.

Today, the teahouse door is closed, and there is not a single boy.

When Li Yunniang saw it, she couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, she sells her things and we sell ours. The two families don't have to fight to the death. Why is this necessary? I must have lost a lot of money now."

Xia Qianqian didn't say anything, but she was keenly aware that there was a gaze fixed on her.
