Chapter 97 Slaves Are Slaves
The shopkeeper brought two assistants to her house to have a look. There were several baskets. Such a good fruit must be sold well in the teahouse, so he asked Xier for a basket of oranges, a basket of grapes, and a basket of bananas. .

Xi'er asked him for fifty cents a catty, and a basket weighed almost fifty catties. Even though the price hurt his heart, the shopkeeper bought it.

The three baskets were given to Xi'er eight taels of silver, and after carrying them back, within an hour, half of the 150 catties went away.

"Is there any more in your house? Can you sell me some more?"

"What? Gone?"

"Yeah, my family doesn't produce this kind of stuff, I bought it when I went to Fucheng a few days ago"

"Hey, what should I do?"

"It's cool, just sell it once and eat something fresh. If you keep selling this thing, who can afford it?"

"Oh, okay"

Just as the shopkeeper was leaving disappointed, Xi'er asked, "How is the business after the storyteller arrives?"

"Thanks to you, I am much stronger than before"

"Will you pay his wages next month, or will I pay?"

"I pay, I pay"

"Well, let's go"

The shopkeeper didn't seem to fall down, he thought that Xi'er called him to stop, trying to get him some rare food.

The two cooks finished all the fish, leaving one fish for lunch, and the rest were spread with salt and dried in the sun, which can be dried in half a day in the sun.

They also set aside some of the prawns for lunch, and boiled the rest, peeled off the skin, removed the prawn threads, then salted them and dried them in the sun.

These two cooks are veterans in handling ingredients, Xi'er looked at it and nodded in satisfaction.

At noon, I made a fish section, braised prawns in oil, scrambled eggs with leeks, roasted water spinach, roasted loofah, and fried bacon with beans.

They ate the same as the master's family. When the dishes were ready, they were divided into two halves. After the master's family's food was placed on the table, they ate in the kitchen.

The kitchen is very clean, and there are Eight Immortals tables and chairs. At first, Mrs. Luo asked them to serve the table, but Nanny Zhou disagreed. She thought it was too unruly. The master is the master, the slave is the slave, and the slave should have a slave look.

However, although they didn't serve the table, they ate the same food as the host's. The three of them were very moved.

There was one storytelling in the morning and one in the afternoon. After Mrs. Luo finished listening, she went home with Nanny Zhou, and the meal was ready when they got home. Her current small life was envied by all the women in the town, saying that she Raised a good daughter.

Being able to make money and being filial, even the scars on Xi'er's face were ignored because of her ability.

Every family is considering giving Luo Xi'er a boy of the same age as their own, and every family is eager to marry such a daughter-in-law.

Every time she asks Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Luo smiles and refuses because Xi'er is still young.

Everyone paid more attention to Xi'er than the mayor, and sometimes Xiao Jian pouted when he heard them talking about Luo Xi'er.

I heard that she went out again two days ago, what will she bring back?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished talking in the morning, the cook of Luo's family brought fresh fish and shrimps. This was the first time that Xi'er had someone send live meat.

Looking at the plump live fish in the basin, he swallowed his saliva, and then looked at the big, lively prawn, he swallowed again.

Bigger than fish and shrimp in the sea, this girl can always come back with something mouth-watering, counting as she has a heart, hum!
Xi'er went to the farm on the second day after her return. She first visited the cemetery. It has been almost five months. The cemetery is well built. The surrounding works of Father Luo's tomb have all been completed.

The cemetery is surrounded by high walls, with mountains behind it, rivers on the right, trees on the left, and the gate facing south. This is what Master Zhiqing planned for this place.

The inside is full of pine trees, and there is a large house on the side of the gate, which is full of everything that should be there. It seems that there is only one tomb guard here.

Xi'er looked at the gate and thought of the old man in the tea shed, wondering if he would like it?That is a kind-hearted person, let him guard here, presumably it will make the feng shui here better.

The pond has been dug by more than half, and in the pasture, the house for the livestock has also been built, and the workers are leveling the ground.

The orchard has been leveled, and the workers are digging holes to plant fruit seedlings. These small saplings were bought by Manager Liang through his contacts.

I believe that before winter comes, it will almost be completed here.

It's just that these saplings are only planted at this time. I don't know if they can survive the severe winter in the north.

She glanced at the saplings, and it seemed that they would have to give them extra meals at night, so that their roots would grow long and deep into the soil before the cold winter came.

As for the open space between the trees, it has to be used. It is also possible to plant some pastures. Although they will compete with the fruit trees for nutrients, but with her, the descendant of Shennong, is it afraid that they will not bear good fruit?

After watching around, she drove the carriage back home. As soon as she entered the house, Liu Qing trotted over.

"Boss, someone sells land, someone sells land"

"Adjoining our ten acres of land?"

"Yes, it's just a little expensive, he asked me to send you a letter, see if you want to"

"Isn't he jealous that our family has grown vegetables to make money?"

"He said he's leaving here, let's see if we can?"

"How much silver is an acre? How many acres are there?"

"Two, 20 taels, a total of [-] acres." Liu Qing looked at Xi'er embarrassedly.

"Money is not a problem. After buying the [-] acres of land, you will solve the manpower problem?"

"I know people from other villages, and I can assure my boss that there is no problem with their character."

"Well, you can tell him, I bought it, and let him hang it in the dental store, otherwise I won't buy it"

"Ai, ai"

"By the way, people in your village don't grow vegetables in winter?"

Liu Qing scratched her hair, "We just borrowed money from your son to build a new house, let's be more down-to-earth and work for you,"

"You don't want to get rich?"

"Let's wait until we have saved up some money. We are very satisfied working with you now. We often make some sugar and plan some medicinal materials at home. It's already very busy, so we won't grow vegetables."

"Okay, I won't force you, if you want to grow vegetables, just hum, and if you don't have any money, go to the accountant and make an IOU. I won't stop you from getting rich."

"Boss, you are a good person. We are lucky to be able to follow you in this life."

"Well, with the money, let the children go to the school in the town to learn some words. Your village is close to the town, and it is convenient to go to school. You can't let the children run around at home anymore."

"Yes, Master"

Manager Liang came to find her the next day, and as soon as he saw Xi'er, he surrendered and edited.

"Miss Xi'er, you are now a famous person in the town and even in the whole county. Even the land sellers only sell you and not others."

"The thirty acres of land belong to you?"

"you do not say"

"Is there a problem here?"

"No, when he bought this land, I bought it through me, and I also handled the title deed, and they are all acquaintances."

Xi'er took out 700 taels of silver bills from her purse and handed them to him, "Tomorrow you go to the county government and put this place under my name."

"It doesn't take that much"

"Please eat the rest, you have worked hard during this time"

"This is what Liang should do"

"How long will it take for Luo's farm to be completed?"

"Only the perimeter and the gate are left. The perimeter built with mud and grass is a bit slow"

"Then you have to surround it, otherwise anyone can go in and pick the fruit."

“It’s almost the end of October”

"How much money do I need from you?"

"Two thousand eight hundred taels"

Xi'er took out the 3000 tael silver ticket again, "I went to see it the other day, and the work was done well. The 200 tael is for your hard work. Let's settle this transaction, shall we?"

"It's cleared up, cleared up, I'll bring you the paperwork as soon as the work is finished, and I also want to ask, after the work is handed over, will you still employ workers there?"

"It's useful, no matter what, someone has to live there and watch the gate, and someone has to guard the cemetery inside, and then cultivate a group of fruit farmers to take care of those fruit trees, as well as ponds and pastures, all of which need manpower."

 Babies should also pay attention to safety at ordinary times, take good protection, and protect yourself and your family!By the way, starting from tomorrow, we will update twice a day and stock up some manuscripts, otherwise I won't even have any manuscripts to save for the editor's activities.
