The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 168 Father and Daughter
"Cheng..." Shen Sisile smiled, looking at this spacious workshop, what rose in her heart was her dream. In the future, she will open this place into the largest seasoning base, a hot pot restaurant, braised meat restaurant, and roast duck in the country. Roast goose shops have to buy ingredients from her, and every farmer in the city here will be her ingredient supplier, and this place will soon become rich...

Zhong Gensheng and He Axiu worked together for a few days, cut all the ingredients, put them in the yard to dry, and then put the poles in the ground to burn them into ash and a good fertile land. It was going to be winter soon, and it was not too late. If it is cold, Chinese cabbage can still be planted here for a season.

Zhong Gen had been a farmer all his life, so he was willing to let the land go uncultivated. He Axiu at home was busy drying the materials, and he quickly fertilized the land, and sprinkled some pig manure and duck manure on the ground. After plowing out, Chinese cabbage seeds began to be sown.

He thought about the large population in his family, so it would be good to grow some Chinese cabbage, pickle some sauerkraut and sell it, or eat it, and store some in the cellar, so that he can eat fresh ones in winter.

Zhong Gen has been busy in life for a long time before finishing his work. Hei has lost a lot of weight, but he walks with a smile. Everyone in the village thinks the same way. After harvesting the bottom material, it is sun-dried. He was busy all the time, the Zhong family had little land, so it was relatively fast to be busy.

It will take some days for the raw materials to come out, and cooking is even more troublesome, so everyone in the village is very busy, and there are few people wandering around the entrance of the village. Because Niu Laogen wants to see ducks and geese, the things in the field are basically All three sons snatched it up. The three sons saw that he made some money by selling duck eggs, and they all worked hard to please him. A duck egg cost a penny, and at least dozens of duck eggs and goose eggs were collected a day. One hundred and eighty yuan a day, none of the three sons is jealous, seeing that the old father has money, he is naturally doing his best, and he doesn't complain about suffering or tiredness. The male goose heard that the Zhong family was going to collect it, and it was a big income. Besides, the weight of the duck and geese was also very heavy.

The three sons count small accounts every day, and they are very wary of each other in private, but in front of the old man, they are really good brothers who love each other.

Niu Laogen really thinks that the three sons are quite capable, and he is also smiling, always with a smile on his face.

Now many people watch Niu's family make money, and each family has raised some chickens and ducks as much as possible. Although it cannot be large-scale, at least it is also an income.

Seeing that the Zhong family's workshop is about to start to recruit people, everyone in the village is rushing to Zhong's house, thinking that they can find a regular job to do, and at least 18 taels of silver will be paid in a year. Who wouldn't be tempted? !

So they all tried their best to go to Zhong's house, but Zhong Gensheng refused on the grounds that the workshop hadn't started yet, and only said to wait until the ingredients were collected.

Not only these people ran, but Tian Guihua also received the news naturally, her mind moved faster. When she heard the news, she couldn't sit still when she thought of the purpose of this workshop. Before going to Zhong's house, she first went to be a cow boss. Gen's work, so she ran to the duck shed by the river, and the reason she used was quite aboveboard. She smiled and said to Niu Laogen: "We are in-laws with the Zhong family. Recruiting staff, the three children in our family are Dabao’s brother-in-law, who will they recruit?! Lao Gen, you also know that the Zhong family doesn’t like me very much, why don’t you go talk to them and let the three sons They all went to Zhong's house to work, and they didn't take their money for nothing. After taking the money, they would naturally work hard..."

Niu Laogen paused for a moment, obviously a little moved, but didn't say anything.

Tian Guihua said helplessly: "...Seeing that Zhong's family is getting better and better, and Xiaohua's life in Zhong's family is also good, I don't worry, it's okay to pull a few older brothers for things within my power?! Lao Gen, you Speaking of which, if one day we both kicked our feet and left, you kept these three children so poor, how can you be the eldest brother-in-law of the Zhong family in the future, and Xiaoshui and the others are your own grandsons , you can see that they can't even afford to read, although we can subsidize them, it is only reasonable that they can earn their own money..."

Niu Laogen's heart moved slightly. Although he raised ducks and geese for the purpose of studying for his grandchildren, but...Tian Guihua was also right. They can keep them for a while, but they can't keep them forever. They have to earn money.

"If the three sons can't do it, it's okay to let the three daughters-in-law go..." Tian Guihua said in a low voice, "Although their mouths are a little broken, they are still capable..."

Niu Laogen frowned and said: "The three of them have too broken mouths. They can't do it when they don't stop talking. Don't cause trouble for the Zhong family. It will be our fault..."

Tian Guihua was overjoyed, knowing that Niu Laogen was also moved, so she smiled and said: "Then let the three sons go, Lao Gen, why don't you go and talk to Zhong Gensheng?!"

Although Niu Laogen was tempted, he was still a little hesitant, and said: "This matter is up to the local girl to decide, it's not right for me to tell Gensheng like this..." He paused again, and said: "That's all, I gonna go see……"

As he said that, he stood up and went to Zhong's house, but Tian Guihua's eyes rolled around, as long as he entered Zhong's workshop, he would not be afraid of not finding the prescription.

She looked at the duck shed while waiting for Niu Laogen to come back.She looked at these ducks and geese, although raising them was not a loss and could make money, but compared with the Zhong family, what was it? !
She sneered in dissatisfaction, selling a duck egg to Zhong's family for a penny seemed high, but their salted duck eggs cost ten penny. When she heard what Niu Laogen said, her eyes widened I'm about to stare out the window, the more I think about it, the more uneconomical it is, if there is a recipe, I can make it myself, why sell it to the Zhong family? !

But the salted duck eggs were just a little salty, probably they were soaked in salt water and pickled. Tian Guihua really figured out something similar after thinking about it. She thought about getting some duck eggs back and trying to pickle them.

Niu Laogen came to Zhong's house, and the Zhong's house was busy at the moment, when he saw Niu Xiaohua, he smiled and said, "Where's Gensheng?!"

"Elder-in-law is in the fertile land in the backyard..." Niu Xiaohua smiled and said, "Father, what do you want to do with Eunuch?!"

Niu Laogen smiled and said: "It's not about your brothers. The three of them don't have any serious work to earn some money except for farming. Seeing that the local girls are going to build a workshop, it's not because they want to recruit People?! I want to recruit who is not recruiting? Your three elder brothers are also very capable, I just want to talk to Gensheng and let them all go to work, Xiao Hua, what do you think?!"

Niu Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, then said: "...Father, you..."

Niu Laogen saw that her eyes were not right, so he felt something was wrong, and he restrained his smile and said, "Xiaohua, I know you have resentment in your heart, but they are your brothers after all... No matter what, you can't just look at them Are you living poorly?! You have a better life in the Zhong family now, but..."

"Father..." Niu Xiaohua saw that his words were getting more and more wrong, and hurriedly called out: "...Father, what are you talking about? Naturally, I also care about family affection, but Dad, don't forget, how did I Did you forget that you came to Zhong’s house? Was I sold into Zhong’s house?!”

Niu Laogen froze, unable to speak.

Niu Xiaohua lowered her eyes and said: "Didn't dad know why I was sold in at the beginning?! It stands to reason that I have nothing to do with my brothers or mother, but the Zhong family treats me well and never treats me as a The servant is a servant, but I have never forgotten how I came here. Now if my father has to rely on his in-laws to let the Zhong family take in three older brothers, I can't help it. Father-in-law and mother-in-law are kind , Dad opened his mouth, and they would definitely agree, but, dad, have you ever thought about it?!"

Niu Xiaohua's eyes were sore, she shed tears and said: "As the saying goes, one's nature cannot be changed. Mother is a person who likes to take advantage of things. Now she just looks at the Zhong family's good relationship, so she becomes a little more sensible. If the Zhong family is still that poor, will she still be like this today? The cooking workshop involves the secrets of the Zhong family. I would never let the three brothers go in. They are all of one mind with their mother. , but how will it end?!"

Niu Laogen couldn't even speak.When Niu Xiaohua said this, she said sadly: "...Father, the three elder brothers have hands and feet. If they are willing to follow you to raise ducks and geese, and expand the scale, they will also make a lot of money. They can make a lot of money a year." Now that I have made a fortune, why should I get involved in the affairs of the Zhong family? How can I be a person at that time!? Now that I am away from home, I have managed to live a better life, and my father really has the heart to see me in the middle. person?!"

Niu Laogen really couldn't utter a single word. He just felt stuffy in his chest and felt very uncomfortable. After a long time, he said: "...Your mother made mistakes at the beginning, but she has corrected her. Your three brothers After all, he is still your brother..."

But Niu Xiaohua gritted her teeth and said: "...I don't believe what you say has been changed. She has been like that for more than ten years when I was at home. Now that I come to Zhong's house, she has changed?! There are three older brothers, when I was at home, she was like that. They didn't even pay attention to me. When I went to Zhong's house, they never came to see me. Even if I wanted to take care of them, they would not be grateful to me. One day today, two tomorrow, and the condiments today. Fang, what will they do tomorrow?! They will never be satisfied, they will always think that this is what the Zhong family should do, and the Zhong family does not owe the Niu family..."

Niu Xiaohua said with red eyes: "...Father, I will definitely not agree. If dad comes to Zhong's house to do some work, I can still agree. I know dad is a person who knows what to do. If mother and the three brothers and sisters-in-law don't agree That's all,"

Niu Laogen couldn't even speak.

Niu Xiaohua has a gilt hairpin on her head, she looks wealthy and courageous, she has to deal with accounts every day, she can think now.

"Father, it's not my fault that I live well now, nor is it the Zhong family's fault. Why do you think that if the Zhong family marries me, they will drag the three elder brothers? But if they are more motivated, why do they have to enter the Zhong family?" Can't work?!" Niu Xiaohua whispered: "Didn't you ever think about it, mother asked them to do everything possible to come to Zhong's house, really just want to earn a few wages?!"

Niu Laogen stood blankly, looking at his daughter, and realized that she was much better now, at least her words were incomparably smooth, but she was also reasonable in every way, which made it impossible for him to refute.

"The Zhong family is good, but we can't let them push their noses. Dabao treats me well, my in-laws treat me well, and my uncle and sister-in-law also respect me as a sister-in-law. This is their kindness. Dad, I was bought by the Zhong family. Even if they treat me like a servant every day, it’s not an exaggeration. It’s okay to toss me every day, and outsiders don’t say anything. I’m just a servant who bought it. Being a concubine is even more worthless, the Zhong family is rich now, and Dabao can afford to marry ten of them, but they really treat me well, so...should we make more money?!"

"Father, I really can't do it..." Niu Xiaohua said sadly.

Niu Laogen said in a low voice: "...Xiaohua, you have changed a lot, and now you are more courageous, and you are willing to say some things."
