The ancestors of the last days were reborn with great success! Chapter 177: Show Off The Xia Ji Farm outside the city ushered in another bumper harvest after the autumn harvest.
The fields here are completely different from the bare fields elsewhere. Many crops are planted in the fields near water sources, which are full of vitality and fruitful.
Ding Daqiang took everyone to the farm. Chen Yongtian and others were stunned by the harvest scene in front of them.
The fields in the farm are all planted in batches, and the place where they got off the carriage happened to be in a cucumber field.
The cucumbers in the fields are growing well. If you stand on the ridge and look over, you can see many large and small cucumbers hanging on the vines. If you have good eyesight, you can also see the small yellow flowers on the vines.
The farmer in charge of this hilly field saw the steward bringing someone over and hurriedly picked a few cucumbers and ran over.
"Everyone has come a long way and thank you for your hard work. This is the cucumber I grew. Come all the way, taste this cucumber and moisten your mouth."
With that said, he handed each person a cucumber.
Chen Yongtian bought a cucumber as soon as he got off the carriage. He looked at the cucumber with small thorns and laughed: "This cucumber is good-looking and fresh enough."
The man who came to the next table was named Yu Quan, and the three men at the table with him all came together.
Yu Quan directly picked off the little thorns on it and took a bite: "It's crispy and sweet, and it tastes good!"
After hearing what he said, Chen Yongtian couldn't wait to take a bite. The taste was not inferior to the one my mother grew in the yard.
While eating, he asked: "Shopkeeper Ding, are you also responsible for this farm?"
Ding Daqiang smiled and shook his head, pointed at Yong Gen who was standing next to him, and said, "Yong Gen, go and call that boy Zuo Jiuchuan."
Yonggen responded and ran away first.
When Ding Daqiang saw the person running away, he smiled and said: "I am only in charge of Huaxia Real Estate Company now. Zuo Jiuchuan is now in charge of the farm here. If you have any needs, you can talk to him."
"Shopkeeper Ding is a capable person. Whenever your princess needs you, she will let you take charge of the overall situation. It shows that you are very popular with the princess."
"Haha, Brother Chen deserves the award!"
Regardless of whether he was favored by the princess or not, Ding Daqiang was still very impressed by hearing these words from others.
While the two were talking, Zuo Jiuchuan came over from another field ridge.
After everyone got to know each other, Chen Yongtian ate the last bit of cucumber, wiped his mouth and then asked: "Manager Zuo, besides cucumbers, what other summer vegetables does your farm have?"
This question is also what others are most concerned about. Everyone pricks up their ears and wants to know what is grown in this farm?
Zuo Jiuchuan led everyone to other planting areas while replying: "Due to transportation issues, the summer vegetables grown in the farm this year are all easy to transport and storable. There are not too many varieties, not too many varieties. Let's follow suit.
I’ll go take a look together, and if you’re satisfied, you’re welcome to place an order.”
Chen Yongtian and Yu Quan looked at each other with expectation in their eyes.
Whether we can transport enough supplies this time depends on this trip to the farm.
They just browsed all the vegetables in the farm, and they were dumbfounded.
There are many varieties, but they have never seen most of them, and they only know a few varieties.
"Manager Zuo, where did you get these vegetable seeds?"
Zuo Jiuchuan looked at everyone's suspicious eyes and smiled: "The princess taught me to grow the varieties. I heard she said they were seeds from overseas."
"Extra things? I think the princess must have known about it. Can they eat it? How does it taste?" Chen Yongtian was afraid that they would misunderstand, so he explained: "I am not worried that these vegetables are poisonous, but I am mainly worried about whether the taste of this dish is not suitable for us Dayu people.
Is it acceptable?"
If they can't accept the taste, no matter how rare it is, no one will be willing to pay for it.
"No matter how delicious I say, you can't realize how delicious it is. Why don't we let the kitchen renovate at noon and let everyone taste the taste of these new vegetables? What do you think?" Zuo Jiuchuan suggested.
Chen Yongtian agreed: "This is a good idea, so I will disturb you at noon!"
"Don't bother, don't bother. I'm happy if you can stay for a light meal." Zuo Jiuchuan invited the people back to the yard and arranged lunch in the kitchen.
Sanjin's house was newly built after the farm was cleared. It was Xia Jing's villa in the farm. The group of people were all grown men. They couldn't hang around, so they sat in the front yard and chatted about home affairs.
Chen Yongtian remembered that when he came over, he saw the buildings on the mountainside in the distance, and asked Zuo Jiuchuan: "Manager Zuo, when we came over, we saw that the rows of houses on the mountainside opposite were for tenant farmers?"
When Zuo Jiuchuan heard this question, he probably knew where he was referring, "The hillside opposite is the farm of our farm. The rows of houses you see are the factories of the farm."
"Farm?"
This is the first time everyone has heard this word.
"Yes, a breeding farm." Zuo Jiuchuan explained to everyone what kinds of poultry and livestock were raised in the breeding farm.
Chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep are all raised. In fact, farm cattle are also raised, but the raised cattle are used for plowing the fields, not for slaughter.
"Can poultry and livestock be farmed intensively? This is the first time I have heard of this farming method." This farming method shocked Yu Quan, and he was also very interested.
But before he proposed to go to the breeding farm, Zuo Jiuchuan spoke first and said: "This breeding method was proposed by the princess. However, unfortunately, in order to prevent poultry and livestock from getting sick, non-breeding personnel are not allowed to enter.
Breeding area, otherwise, I can take you to see it."
"You can't come in." Anyone can hear Yu Quan's regretful tone.
However, the owner has explained it so, so it is not easy for everyone to force a visit.
Zuo Jiuchuan apologized and said: "Please forgive me, this rule was set by the princess herself. As the steward of the farm, I cannot take the lead in violating it."
"It doesn't matter. Guests are welcome to do as they please. Manager Zuo doesn't have to blame himself." Chen Yongtian smoothed things over with a smile. "Why don't we sit here and have nothing to do anyway? Why don't we go to the kitchen and see how the cooks cook?"
After hearing this, Ding Daqiang clapped his hands happily and said, "Brother Chen, what you said is exactly right. There is a new vegetable. I am also trying to learn a trick or two so that I can know how to make this new dish at home in the future!"
Finally, everyone agreed to go to the kitchen to learn two tricks.
In this era, cooking basically relied on stewing or boiling. This made Xia Jing, who was used to stir-fry, unable to stand it, so she taught the cook many cooking methods.
No, the cook who learned a lot of new dishes finally came into play this time.
The cook also wanted to show off her cooking skills in front of the guests, and the two parties reached a consensus. A group of people stood aside to watch, while the cook stood busy in front of the stove.
There are not too many dishes that can be paired with green and red peppers, such as fried meat with green pepper and garlic sprouts, scrambled eggs with tiger skin and green pepper, stuffed meat with green pepper, etc. As for red pepper, it can be paired with more dishes, and the red color is both beautiful and delicious.
The eggplant chef only made two dishes, one was eggplant stew and the other was garlic-roasted eggplant.
In the back, the cook prepared two dishes for beans, pumpkins, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
The cooks worked like tigers, and it took them half an hour to cook a table of food.
Various delicacies were served on the table, making a group of grown men salivate.
This was a way of cooking that they had never seen before, and the ingredients were also new to them. After finishing the meal, everyone didn't keep their mouths shut and just ate it up!
"Shopkeeper Ding, Manager Zuo, I want to order two thousand kilograms of each of these vegetables. I will come over tomorrow to load the truck and try to return the day after tomorrow. I will return to Changsha County before the Chinese New Year and make a lot of money before the new year!" Chen Yongtian ate
After having enough to drink, I started to place my order as soon as I touched my mouth.
These fresh out-of-season vegetables were shipped back before the Chinese New Year, so that the rich and powerful people in Changsha County could taste the fresh dishes, and the prices could double. He was sure to make a lot of money from this!
"Okay, okay, I'll ask the tenants to help pick vegetables tomorrow!" Zuo Jiuchuan happily wrote down the quantity.
What Chen Yongtian could think of, Yu Quan also thought of. When he saw that Chen Yongtian had taken the lead without paying attention, he was not to be outdone, "Guanshi Zuo, I will order three thousand kilograms of each vegetable, and I will bring people over tomorrow as well."
Load the car and return with Team Leader Chen the day after tomorrow, everyone will be looking after you along the way!"
"Okay, okay, tomorrow I will arrange for some more tenants to help pick vegetables." Zuo Jiuchuan smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. He was worried about the sales of vegetables, but he didn't expect customers to come to his door!
Chen Yongtian unexpectedly turned his head and glanced at him, "Brother is luckier than me. My caravan vehicle has already been loaded with a lot. It can barely hold two thousand kilograms. No more can be transported back."
Yu Quan chuckled and said: "God is kind, the supplies shipped back this time are too small. Unexpectedly, another village has a bright future. It is really lucky!"
In the thirty-fifth year of Huiyuan, many major events occurred in the Yu Dynasty.
Successive years of drought have left the people in dire straits, Beidi invaded, rebels gathered, the imperial court moved south, and Emperor Huiyuan was buried, all of which showed that this year was particularly unstoppable.
Even if there are many disasters this year, it will not affect the people's busyness in celebrating the New Year.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the last two months of the year, everyone at Lingnan Xiaji Farm is extremely busy.
Ding Daqiang used the contacts he made at the salt shop to draw many caravans from the city to the farm.
The leaders of these caravans saw the deliciousness of off-season vegetables and boldly placed orders.
The number of caravans suddenly increased, which made the people in the farm very busy.
Picking, weighing, and loading vegetables all require personnel to complete.
The tenants of the farm are secretly happy while they are busy. This year is the first time in three years that they no longer have to worry about celebrating the New Year.
The people are preparing for the New Year, and Xia Jing is also preparing for the New Year.
Years ago, the account books of all industries including shops, farms, ironworks workshops, salt fields, cement factories, textile factories, and breeding farms were collected on Xia Jing's desk.
Fortunately, the accounts have been settled, and what is summarized is only the general ledger of each industry.
Running water in the millions is really not a small amount. Fortunately, Xia Jing's computing power is good, so it didn't waste her much time.
There are also New Year gifts distributed to employees everywhere at the end of the year, as well as red envelopes that need to be given during the New Year. Ye Fei takes care of these for her, she only needs to sign.
Looking at Ye Fei's handsome back holding the account book as he walked out, Xia Jing asked Hongmei: "Do you think I put Ye Fei in the wrong place?"
She is obviously the domineering CEO Fan, but Xie made her play the role of assistant!
Hongmei was immersed in sorting out the account books. After hearing her words, she was slightly startled, "Where does the princess think he is suitable?"
Xia Jing held her chin, tilted her head slightly and looked at Hongmei, her red lips parted slightly: "Just because of his extraordinary skills, strong martial arts, and good ability to deal with things, he can be qualified for the position of the general manager!"
Hongmei: "." Princess, you really dare to think!
After saying this, Xia Jing's eyes lit up: "What do you think, I let him be my chief internal manager?"
"Ahem!" Hongmei was so frightened that she coughed violently. It took a while before she calmed down, "Princess, are you serious?"
Xia Jing nodded: "Ye Fei's ability is undoubted, plus he is bold and careful. When he stays by my side, I feel particularly safe.
Besides, the most important thing is his ability to do things. He can handle the things I ask him to do very well and beautifully. This saves me a lot of energy and time!"
"But..." Hongmei thought about the words in her heart and whispered: "But the position of chief internal manager is really not something that anyone dares to use!"
This position is only available in the imperial palace. If the princess also takes this position, she is afraid that the people above will find out within three days, which will endanger her life!
Xia Jing glanced at her maid with helpless eyes, "Don't you know how to change your mind? We can keep this position, but we can change the external title to manager."
Bai Mei walked in from outside and came forward to greet her: "Princess, Anu is here."
"Is there something wrong with him?" Xia Jing asked in surprise.
Bai Mei shook her head, "The prince said that he wanted to invite the princess to come over. Do you want Anu to come in and answer the question?"
Xia Jing nodded: "Let him come in and answer!"
Anu said with a wooden face: "I have met the princess. I came here to invite the princess on the order of the prince."
"Do you know why he came to me?"
"I don't know very well, but the prince has been reviewing this year's account books in the past two days."
After hearing this, Xia Jing raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Why is he looking for me to check the accounts? Could it be that the account books can't be sorted out clearly?"
Anu urged: "Princess, please go there, the prince is waiting for you."
Xia Jing stood up, stretched her limbs, and breathed out, "Let's go over and have a look."
The study room in the front yard of the palace.
As soon as Xia Jing walked in, she saw a mountain of account books, "Oh, your accounts here can bury people!"
"Wei Chen has met the princess!"
Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yan, who were sitting to check the accounts, stood up and saluted Xia Jing.
Xia Jing waved her hand, "No need to be polite, just sit down."
With that said, Xia Jing found a seat and sat down, looking at the account books piled in front of her, "What's going on with you? Didn't you invite Mr. Accountant?"
"Please." King Qian raised his head and glanced at her, "When I came to Lingnan, I took too big steps and got into trouble for a while."
"These account books include expenses for building roads and bridges, clearing wasteland for seeds, repairing city walls, military pay and rations, and various government agencies. Only after counting them today, I finally know that these expenses add up to astronomical figures every day."
Xia Jing casually flipped through an account book, "You have a lot of expenses and a lot of income. Not to mention other things, this year's autumn tax is several times that of previous years. Plus salt fields and mines, you don't want to be too rich!"
King Qian stroked his forehead, "Don't mention your income to me. No matter how much it is, I will get dizzy when I see the figures I consume every day!"
Xia Jing couldn't laugh or cry after hearing what he said, "So, why did you ask me to come over? You asked me to come over so you can show off in front of me?"
