Originally, Mu Yue Trading Company's 100 acres of land were adjacent to Lin Zhu's 500 acres, and Lu Mingtao also planned to plant the special rice seeds provided by Lin Zhu there. But Mu Qingqi was not allowed to do anything at the emperor's place.
Carefully speaking, the emperor issued a decree that the one hundred acres of special rice seeds must be planted in the imperial village, and someone would be assigned to take care of it. Basically, there would be nothing wrong with Muyue Trading Company.
When Lu Mingtao heard the news, he felt so filled with hatred that he wanted to rush into Prince Qi's mansion immediately and ask him to explain clearly. But he calmed down and went to Mu Qiyue first to ask for a plan.
"Fourth Master, tell me, what should I do?" There was a tone of blame in his words. Lu Mingtao said in his heart, if you hadn't told Mu Qingqi the news quickly, would this matter have happened? But he didn't dare to tell him.
Say it.
"What's so difficult about this? Just go buy some rice seeds from Miss Lin and come back." Mu Qiyue said lightly, almost making Lu Mingtao hold a sip of tea in his throat.
"What?" Lu Mingtao thought he was hallucinating, "Fourth Master, these are all the rice seeds. Except for Miss Lin who kept some for herself, there are no special rice seeds." Lu Mingtao's eyes widened.
I want to express the seriousness of this matter to Mu Qiyue.
"Hehehehe," Mu Qiyue looked at Lu Mingtao with wrong eyes, and was amused by him for the first time, "Mr. Lu, don't think too simplistically of her. What they said is that they only have this hundred acres of land for us.
Already."
"Huh?" Lu Mingtao looked at Mu Qiyue who was laughing, and his face froze. No way, Miss Lin doesn't look like a deceiver? Lu Mingtao was puzzled.
"Mr. Lu, if she hadn't said that, you would have asked her endlessly for seeds, and in her opinion, one hundred acres of land is enough for us." Mu Qiyue straightened his face and explained to him
"Don't you believe it? She will definitely plant more than she told you by then."
"She has so much ambition?" Lu Mingtao felt that Lin Zhu's sincere face was always dazzling in front of his eyes. During the negotiation, he didn't think she could think of so many twists and turns.
"I don't know if you are too mean-spirited. I only know that for such a young child, if you are not mean-minded, I won't be able to do business with you." Mu Qiyue put down these words and stopped caring about Lu Mingtao's entanglements.
expression.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. She just wants to keep a low profile. As long as you grasp this, she should agree to some of your small requests." Mu Qiyue couldn't stand Lu Mingtao's frightened performance, so he had to support it.
One move.
"Haha, Fourth Master thought it through." Lu Mingtao recovered instantly, making Mu Qiyue wonder if he was pretending to be like this just now, staring at him with a somewhat unkind look.
"Fourth Master, please don't look at me like this. I can't bear it." Lu Mingtao acted like a little boy who was afraid. "With your words, I dare to ask Mr. Zhang for help.
, otherwise if he knows that I am looking for Miss Lin for this kind of thing, he might give me some eye drops in the future. You don’t know, Miss Lin obeys Mr. Zhang’s words.”
Lu Mingtao complained.
"Just because of that pot of orchids, I was in trouble for half an hour. Miss Lin was looking at me with a smile. Alas, Mr. Zhang is very proud."
"If you didn't mention this, I would have forgotten it." Mu Qiyue smiled. "That potted flower is really nice, and it actually blooms in winter. If Miss Lin still has it, you might as well get a few more pots."
"I'm afraid it won't work. Miss Lin gave away two pots. Now she only has one pot left. She will definitely not sell it." Lu Mingtao shook his head. In fact, he had also thought about buying another pot, but,
Lin Zhu politely refused.
"Then let's wait for another chance." Mu Qiyue nodded.
"Fourth Master, would you like to find an opportunity to go hunting in the future?" Lu Mingtao remembered that he had told Feng Yuanbo about borrowing Heidou'er.
"Why, after losing so many times, you still want to compete again?" Mu Qiyue remembered that every time Lu Mingtao went hunting with him, they would make bets, and they would lose every time.
"Haha, it's different this time. I found a good dog." Lu Mingtao said with a smile. Thinking of Heidou'er's appearance when hunting, he couldn't help but get excited. He was so smart. Not only could he understand his own
Even if he gives orders, he will attack from behind. Heidouer is definitely the best helper for hunting.
"Really? You say that every time, but there is no time when your dog doesn't embarrass you." Speaking of which, Lu Mingtao is really unlucky. He can do anything, but hunting and raising dogs are almost the same. He raises the dog too well.
It can't be used for hunting. You can't even catch a rabbit.
"Just watch it this time." Lu Mingtao didn't take it seriously and said solemnly.
Just like Mu Qiyue said, Lin Zhu decided to grow more special rice than what she told Lu Mingtao, but she did not do it to sell it, but to make wine.
After Mr. Du and his son brewed wine for a time, Lin Zhu also tasted the wonderful taste, so she wanted to grow more rice and let Mr. Du help brew the wine. When the time came, he would share the wine. The rest would be taken outside.
We sell it in restaurants, and we only sell it exclusively, and we don’t sell wine on a piecemeal basis.
Of course, Mr. Du is still fighting for Lin Zhu's bamboo garden in Song County, so I won't tell him this good news yet.
Not only rice, but also sorghum should be planted, and some wine is also brewed from sorghum. It would be better to have more varieties.
Lin Zhu actually brought some wolfberry saplings to the capital. As soon as the house in Xiaolinzhuang was built, she would build a wolfberry garden there. When the wolfberry seeds were ready, they would also be used to make wine, and they would be sold specifically to women.
If you don’t believe in the banner of beauty care, those women won’t come to your door.
Although the house in Xiaolinzhuang has not been built yet, Lin Zhu has already planned what to plant in the fields, and there should also be a vegetable garden in the house.
In Lin Zhu's plan, the construction of Xiaolinzhuang's house started. Of course, this was also notified to Shopkeeper Du of Muyue Trading Company. Although Shopkeeper Du was a little embarrassed, he was really busy, so he made an agreement with Feng Yuanbo and decided to work in the future.
Apologize to Lin Zhu.
When Feng Yuanbo came to Xiaolin Village for the third time, the ruins of the house had been cleared away. Lin Youcai brought the villagers to help. Anyway, it didn't matter if they threw away all the things that could no longer be used.
Feng Yuanbo also told Lin Youcai that if you want to build a house with blue bricks, it is best to find a brick kiln with a good reputation. There are also brick kilns that sell tiles, and they should also choose well.
Lin Zhu deliberately added a sewer design to the design drawing, placing it underground instead of using gutters built on the ground to drain water. This made the villagers a little confused, after all, no one had done this before.
In fact, these country people have never done it. When he was in the capital, Lin Zhu discovered that there were sewer pipes in good yards. Moreover, Lin Zhu was inspired by the shape of chimneys. Since it could be fired into a barrel-shaped chimney, then
A pipe of this thickness can be burned. If it is buried deeper underground, where it is not afraid of being stepped on and can drain water, why not?
Lin Zhu's house didn't have sewer pipes before, so draining the water after taking a bath was a physical job. Although Chang's mother did it later, and now there are maids, maybe it's always good to save some effort.
For this purpose, Lin Zhu specifically asked Wu Ping'an from Muyue Trading Company to help and found some experienced craftsmen to do the work. So the house went smoothly.
Lin Zhu built a courtyard with three entrances, but it was a bit simpler than those in the capital. The inverted house in front was removed. Lin Zhu’s reason was that those houses were cold in winter and hot in summer, and there was no sunlight.
, and the most important thing is that with it, it can be the main entrance, which Lin Zhu is not used to, so it has to be changed.
So the left and right wing rooms were built relatively large, because they were arranged for the servants to live in, and as a country person, beds and the like are not as comfortable as a kang.
Much warmer.
Feng Yuanbo's family of three and Xu's family lived in side courtyards on both sides of the main courtyard, which were better than the side rooms. In the main courtyard, Lin Zhu specially reserved a room for Chang's mother, but she didn't expect that Chang's mother would end up
It's no use either.
Because of the salary promised by Lin Zhu, almost everyone in Xiaolin Village came to help, but the children were strictly excluded. This was what Lin Zhu had agreed with Feng Yuanbo in advance. If those children shuttled around the construction site, they would be
The most dangerous thing is that they are not as strong as adults. If something happens, who should be blamed? So in order to avoid this happening, even if the people in Xiaolin Village don't understand, they still have to carry out this method.
However, the food provided by Lin Zhu made all their objections go into their mouths. He hired several women from Xiaolinzhuang to cook, including meat, vegetables, soup, and steamed buns. With such treatment, they still didn't work hard.
If he were alive, that man would have lost his conscience. This is the whole sentiment of the people of Xiaolinzhuang.
The people in Xiaolinzhuang worked hard for one day's wages and two full meals. No one thought that if they worked less every day, this good thing would continue for one more day.
, seeing this situation, Lin Zhu felt that they were still very simple.
However, one thing puzzled Lin Zhu, that is, no one in Xiaolin Village asked to sign a contract. Could it be that his contract was too harsh?
Lin Zhu also asked Feng Yuanbo to ask Lin Youcai insinuatingly, but he was also squeaky and unsure. It seemed that it was not a contract issue.
But what is the real reason? While Lin Zhu and Feng Yuanbo were speculating, someone came to Lin Zhu through Lin Youcai, the village chief of Xiaolinzhuang.
Lin Zhu came to Xiaolin Village to meet that man. He was a man she had never seen before, a very imposing man. Some of the timid children in Xiaolin Village almost cried when they saw him. (To be continued.)
