Chapter 459 Holy Will
Precisely because of this consideration, from the very beginning, the workers that Old Mrs. Zhou hired were all women whose families were in financial difficulty.
If they themselves know their own value and their families know their value, the living status of these weak women will be improved.
A woman has to obey her father before she gets married, and obey her husband after she gets married. Her whole body and mind are tied to her husband and children. She never thinks about herself and has no freedom at all.
But as long as you have money in your hands, your words and actions will carry more weight, and you will care more about yourself. This is what Zhou Mingshu wants to achieve.
-
Half a month later, all the tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and utensils that the Zhou family needed were ready.
Everyone helped to carry the things into the sweet water shop one by one, and arranged some paintings and potted plants.
"Now at first glance, it looks much better than the restaurant in town. What's its name? Yes, 'Elegant~'"
Zhou Mingqi walked around the room, never wanting to keep the rag in his hand idle for a moment, wiping everything at hand until it reflected light.
"That's right. Anyway, our work over the past two months has not been in vain. We have almost achieved the desired results."
Zhou Mingshu also let out a sigh.
She was the one who made this sweet shop a success, and it is very good to have it decorated to its current state.
It will surely amaze everyone when it opens!
"Saya, when will we open? I get excited just thinking about it." Zhou Mingqi laughed.
"Don't worry, don't worry. There aren't many flowers in our garden that have bloomed yet. We have to wait until the peonies bloom. The only thing left to do is spring planting. We still have a lot of potato seeds at home. If we don't hurry up, it will be too late."
"I know, but I have a small suggestion."
Zhou Mingqi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking very evil, and no one knew what bad idea he was up to.
"What proposal?" Zhou Mingshu asked.
"Last year, Lord Qi helped us dig and plant potatoes. Should we invite them to help us this year?"
"Hahaha, so that's what you were thinking." Zhou Mingshu laughed, but his second sister's suggestion was not impossible. "I don't know if Lord Qi and the others are busy. If they are not busy, maybe they will really send someone over."
"Hey, then why don't we go ask? It's just a matter of opening our mouths and it won't take much effort."
It would be really tiring if you carried a hoe and dug a hole.
"Okay, we'll go when we're free. There's no rush now. I'll ask a few aunts to come over and help us take care of the flower and vegetable gardens."
If you don't take care of it, it will be overgrown with grass.
The weather is getting warmer, and the mushrooms and wild vegetables on the mountain are growing. If they don't go up the mountain, they will have no fresh vegetables to eat.
"Yeah, okay, I'll go help too."
The season is just right now. Not only Zhou Mingshu and his friends think so, but the servants in the village have already taken care of their own fields. This way they can free up their hands to work for Old Zhou's family and earn extra money to supplement the family income.
Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi ran around the village and called five or six aunts and uncles to help.
The soil in spring is soft, and the grass in the vegetable field is fresh, tender and easy to pull.
Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi also followed behind them to help transport the grass out.
The fresh grass that was pulled out was thrown directly into the bamboo shed in the backyard to feed the chickens, and the uneaten grass was piled in the open space to dry.
Zhou Mingqin was free now and brought over a small basket.
"I see there are quite a few wild vegetables in there. I'll pick out some good ones for us to cook."
"Big sister, please pick more shepherd's purse so we can make shepherd's purse dumplings and buns."
"okay!"
All the aunts and sisters-in-law were good at cleaning, and not even a blade of grass was left wherever they passed, so Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi saved a lot of trouble and effort.
At this rate, the vegetable garden and orchard will be cleaned up in a few days, and the flower garden will be ready next.
The Zhou family has a lot of land in particular. In the past two years, the emperor has rewarded them again and again. In addition to the land they originally had, they now have hundreds of acres of land.
Some of the food that could not be fully taken care of was rented out to people in need.
In this way, the land rewarded by the emperor is still in their hands, but they no longer ask what to plant on the land; it is up to the tenants to decide.
But if they did this, their family would soon become landlords.
The adults in the family have to take care of the restaurant business. Although there are many children, they are too young and few of them can do anything, so they can only wait.
Zhou Mingshu stood in the flower bed, picking the side buds of the peony.
It was so small last year, but this year it has grown to the height of her thigh.
When the weather gets a little warmer, they will start to produce flower buds, which is great.
Two days later, Zhou Mingshu asked a few more aunts to come and help.
There is strength in numbers. Finish this job early so that you can move on to the next one.
"San Ya, when are you going to ask Master Qi? The potatoes in our cellar have sprouted."
"Okay, I'll go right away. Look how anxious you are."
Zhou Mingshu fed the gold to the hungry ghosts and rode his horse to the military camp.
I heard before that the county would give some instructions on potato planting, but why is there no news yet? !
It was only when she arrived at the military defense camp that she realized that she was not the only one in the master's room, but also Master Xue.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. After meeting, they were extremely intimate and greeted each other repeatedly.
"Ming girl, you came at the perfect time. Before you came, I was discussing something with Lord Qi, which was the issue of potato planting. The emperor is very concerned about potatoes and has even approved a piece of farmland specifically for potato cultivation. I just don't know what the weather and soil in Kyoto are like, and whether potatoes can be successfully planted. But I heard that the emperor meant that we must pay enough attention to potatoes here."
"Don't worry, Master Xue. I'm here for potato planting. I came here specifically to ask Master Qi for instructions. The weather is getting warmer, and it's almost the best time to plant potatoes. I don't know if you want to plant conservatively or expand the scale. If we want to expand the scale, I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower, so we need Master Qi to lend a hand."
After Zhou Mingshu finished speaking, he looked up and winked at Qi Rui who was sitting in his seat.
Qi Rui put down the letter in his hand, looked at her round eyes and curled his lips.
This little girl is not good at using official business for personal gain.
"Since the emperor intends to expand the scale of potato cultivation, we must obey his orders. I will send someone to verify the potato seeds and calculate the scale that can be cultivated."
"There are still some potato seeds left in the army. Zhou Mingshu must have quite a few at home. Plant all that can be planted."
"Sir, can you save some for your family?"
