Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 749 Skilled
On the way, Tang Wan thought of Wang Xiaohua's face again.

However, Tang Wan quickly put the matter aside.

Because we're almost at the fortune-telling shop.

When Ding Li arrived in his carriage, they set off to return home.

Another busy day.

Upon returning to the Tang residence, she first paid her respects to her parents, and then went to her room to rest for a while.

The family ate quietly at dinner time.

After the meal, Tang Wan asked about her younger brother Tang Mubai's condition. Wang Shi said that he was still a little weak and needed to rest.

It was also mentioned that the Zheng family sent someone to visit Tang Mubai today.

Speaking of the Zheng family, Tang Wan recalled something.

As soon as they returned to their room, she took her older sister's arm and said, "Elder sister! I have a favor to ask you!"

Tang Jing looked up and asked with a gentle smile, "Second Sister, what's wrong?"

Tang Wan stepped forward, took her sister's arm, and said with a smile, "I promised Madam Huang the other day that I would make another doll for that little girl Huang Ying. But as you know, I'm not good at needlework, so I can only trouble you for help, sister!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Jing smiled and said, "I wondered what it was about. Of course, Xiaoying is a lovely child, making her a doll is nothing. Where is the pattern? Let me see how to make it."

"The design is on the desk outside. This time it's a little fox doll. I finished drawing it but forgot to give it to you in time," Tang Wan explained with a smile.

Then he went to the outer room to find the blueprints.

Tang Wan took the drawing out of the desk drawer and went into the room to hand it to Tang Jing.

Tang Jing took the drawing, gently unfolded it, and her eyes lit up when she saw the lively little fox on it. She praised, "Wow, it's so cute! Xiaoying will definitely love it! Don't worry, leave it to me, I'll make it for you as soon as possible."

"Thank you so much, elder sister! I'll make it when I have time. I've prepared the fabric and thread." Tang Wan said with a smile, watching her sister carefully put away the pattern, thinking to herself that she had at least kept her promise.

She slept soundly through the night, unaware that a momentous event concerning her was quietly unfolding outside.

……

The next morning, Tang Wan got up early, looking radiant.

She quickly took care of the household chores as usual.

As soon as she finished her family business, she rushed to the cannery in the backyard.

Yesterday, two truckloads of canned goods were delivered to Zhao's grain shop. Regardless of the response, two more truckloads need to be prepared and delivered today to ensure a smooth supply. Even if sales are not good, it's good to keep some at Zhao's for backup, so that we won't be short of goods when needed.

The workshop was still bustling with activity.

Under Chen Da's guidance, the newly recruited workers have gradually become proficient, and the processes of washing, peeling, pitting, canning, and sealing are carried out in an orderly manner.

When Chen Da saw Tang Wan approaching, he quickly went to greet her: "Second Miss, you've arrived."

Tang Wan looked at the busy workshop with a smile in her eyes and said to Chen Da, "Uncle Chen, prepare two more truckloads of goods today and send them to the Zhao family this afternoon."

"Don't worry, Miss, the rules are being strictly observed, and we would never dare to make a mistake," Chen Da assured her.

He then reported, "The newly recruited staff are already able to keep up, and the workshop's output can be increased even further. Master Wang and his team are working day and night to expand the new cellar quickly, and it should be completed in another two or three days. Once the cellar is finished, we can confidently harvest the late peaches to make canned goods."

Tang Wan nodded in satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Chen and Master Wang. The cellar is of great importance, so please make sure they do a thorough job, and that ventilation and moisture control are handled properly." "Yes, I understand," Chen Da quickly replied.

"By the way, has there been any news about the other fruits that Uncle Chen asked about?" Tang Wan had previously instructed him to go and check if there were any other seasonal fruits that were about to be harvested, so that they could be pre-ordered and more varieties could be developed.

Chen Da replied respectfully, "Reporting to Second Miss, I had already sent someone to investigate two days ago, and I was planning to report to you today."

After saying that, Chen Da looked at Tang Wan and then at his surroundings.

After a moment's thought, Tang Wan replied, "Alright, let's discuss this in detail up ahead!"

The two walked outside, and Tang Wan went to check on the construction site of the cellar expansion. Seeing that everything was progressing smoothly, she returned to the front yard.

Chen Da followed along, and Tang Wan, who didn't think any adjustments were needed, directly told Chen Da.

Chen Da carefully noted down the details, telling the workers what could be adjusted at the time, and discussing the rest in detail later.

The two of them then walked towards the front yard.

They went to the side room where Tang Wan usually handled household matters to discuss the matter.

This room was originally used by the Luo and Tan families, but it was left empty after they left. Now, however, each family has its own use for it.

Once inside, Tang Wan gestured for Chen Da to sit down. Chen Da, half-sitting, reported to Tang Wan, "Your Highness, the fruits in our northern desert region are mainly apples, pears, and hawthorns from this season onwards. These are locally grown and grow quite well. Other fruits are not grown on a large scale, and there aren't many varieties."

Tang Wan was very satisfied with these words and asked, "These kinds are quite good. They would taste good if made into canned goods. Have you found large-scale suppliers for them?"

"I found a few orchards with apples and pears. After the late peaches are harvested, it will be almost time to harvest apples and pears, but the hawthorns won't be ready for harvest for another month or two," Chen Da hurriedly replied.

Tang Wan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then you should go and talk to these big orchards as soon as possible and sign a contract."

Chen Da replied, "Then I'll arrange things later, deliver the canned goods to the Zhao family, and then go to those orchards."

Tang Wan was very satisfied with Chen Da's arrangements and nodded with a smile, saying, "Then Uncle Chen, please make the arrangements as they are. If you encounter any difficulties, please feel free to come to me!"

Chen Da agreed and rose to take his leave.

Tang Wan also got up and went back to her room.

Upon entering the room, I saw my older sister, Tang Jing, sitting on an embroidery stool by the window, holding fabric and needle and thread in her hands. She had already begun to compare the pattern and start cutting out the fox doll.

Seeing Tang Wan come in, Tang Jing looked up and smiled gently: "Wan'er, you're back just in time. Come and help me sort out the threads. They're all tangled up, and it's really hard for me to handle them by myself."

As she spoke, Tang Jing shook the several strands of colored silk threads in her hand that needed to be separated.

"Oh, I'm here." Tang Wan responded, smiling as she walked over, sat down on the stool next to her sister, took the somewhat tangled ball of silk thread, and began to comb and separate the strands.

One of the sisters began sewing the initial shape of a doll, while the other quietly separated the threads.

While Tang Jing was sewing, she said to Tang Wan, "This apricot-colored fine cotton fabric is indeed soft, and it's perfect for making dolls for children."

Tang Wan continued, her fingers never stopping, and chimed in, "Yes, this is a doll for Xiaoying, so naturally we have to put some thought into it. Speaking of which, Madam Huang is the aunt of the Zheng family, and Mu Bai is under the tutelage of Old Master Zheng. It's always good to maintain good relations with them."

Mentioning the Zheng family, Tang Jing paused slightly in her movements for some reason.

As if remembering something, she said with a slightly wistful tone, "Yes, in the capital and the prefectures, the relationships between families are intricately intertwined. It's always good to build more good connections. Sometimes, a person's fate is truly unpredictable."

Tang Wan sensed something was off; she felt there was something more to the conversation.
