"Miss, are you mistaken? If you plant something poisonous, can you sell it?"

Everyone questioned Shen Qingjia.

Shen Qingjia clapped her hands, and suddenly several boys came in from outside, each carrying a plate of things. The aroma was fragrant when they came in.

"Everyone try it and see if it tastes good."

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and then looked at the plates of potatoes with different cooking methods on the table. Although they were fragrant, it was impossible for them to take poison!

Shen Qingjia stood up first, then took a plate of potatoes and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Managers, please feel free to taste it. It's not poisonous. I already ate it yesterday. If it was really poisonous, I would have died long ago!"

Cai Huan also nodded and said: "My lady and I have eaten, and Zhou Nan has eaten too. We have eaten a lot. We are all fine!"

When everyone saw Shen Qingjia eating it, they became a little doubtful.

Manager Ji still questioned: "If it's not poisonous, what happened to those people who were poisoned before?"

Shen Qingjia explained: "This potato is a little special. Because it grows at the root, it is both a dead and a seed. Once it sprouts, it will produce toxins and cannot be eaten, otherwise it will be poisoned. But if it is a good potato, it will be poisoned if it is eaten." It will definitely be fine, we can just inform those people in the future."

"But they already have the idea that potatoes are poisonous. If they grow them, can they sell them?"

"Of course! How many people across the country don't have enough to eat now? It takes two or three months for potatoes to mature, which is faster than rice. If they are grown, they will definitely solve the court's food problem in the future. Besides, there are many ways to make potatoes , our restaurant can also develop delicious food, which will definitely be sold in the capital or everywhere."

After Shen Qingjia said so much, the stewards still had some doubts and started to think about it.

Shen Qingjia said: "Try it! How does it taste?"

One of the stewards was brave and started to pick up his chopsticks and taste it. The fried potatoes were wrapped in chili noodles. It was really delicious.

Once there was one, there were two. The stewards began to eat one after another, and each commented: "It tastes really good."

"If our restaurant makes this dish, it will definitely be a hit!"

"It can be planted in three or two months. Wouldn't it mean a huge yield in a year?"

"Yeah yeah!"

The stewards began to agree with Shen Qingjia's proposal.

However, Manager Ji still had some objections and said: "Miss, although the yield of potatoes is fast, the soil quality in our farm is not good. Even if they are planted, will they grow well?"

Shen Qingjia smiled inwardly, it turned out that Manager Ji also knew that the property was caused by poor soil quality, so he came to trick him.

Shen Qingjia said: "Don't worry, Manager Ji. The soil quality can't be changed by changing it. We can give it a try to see if the potatoes can be grown well. After all, the land will be empty in winter, right? Even if it is Planting rice also doesn’t produce good yields, so it’s better to plant potatoes.”

This is the truth.

But Manager Ji was still somewhat reluctant to admit that Shen Qingjia was in charge.

"Miss, let's do this! But if this property still suffers a loss, what will happen?"

Shen Qingjia said: "If there is still a loss, then I have not solved the matter well, and I will not interfere in the future."

Manager Ji got his answer, stood up and said, "Then according to the wishes of the eldest lady, I still have things to deal with, so I will take the first step."

After the matter was discussed, the stewards left one after another. "Guanshi Ji!" Someone called to Guanshi Ji. It was Guanshi Wu from Xiulou. Guanshi Wu said: "Guanshi Ji, the eldest lady handled this matter very well. Why don't you give me face?"

Manager Ji snorted: "No matter how good she is, she is still a woman. Since ancient times, which business house has been managed by a woman?"

Manager Wu said: "What you said is right. Aren't we doing business just to make money? Who has the ability to make us money, it doesn't matter whether he is a man or a woman!"

Manager Ji said: "Even if I don't have any prejudice against women, don't others have the same? If the people who work with Shen Ji will be looked down upon when they hear that the person in charge of Shen Ji is a woman, how can this business continue? Woolen cloth?"

Manager Wu nodded: "That's the same reason!"

Manager Ji sighed and said: "The eldest lady is very capable and has the flexible mind of my boss when he was young, but it's a pity that she is a woman!"

Manager Wu suddenly said: "In Shu, women are the most important thing. There are so many women in public. It shows that women are not a scourge, right? Aren't we all born to women? We have to be controlled by women even when we go home?"

Manager Ji glared at Manager Wu: "You are afraid of your wife, but you think all men in the world are as afraid of their wives as you are? You are worthless!"

Manager Wu was unconvinced and muttered to Manager Ji: "I love my wife, Lao Ji, please take care of your family more! Be careful that your wife doesn't want you!"

Manager Ji glared at Manager Wu Li again and ignored him. Manager Wu was asking for trouble and didn't say anything more. The two of them parted ways when they reached a fork in the road.

After settling this matter, Shen Qingjia planned to investigate the soil of the fields outside the city.

There are actually many ways to improve the soil. It would be better to hire more experts. The fields halfway up the mountain produce less water and are actually not suitable for growing rice. The soil is just a bit hard and requires watering and a lot of fertilizer.

Fertilizer is easy to handle, manure, dead leaves, etc. can be used as fertilizer.

Shen Qingjia asked Manager Liu of the farm to gather the villagers and water the fields to moisturize them. Potatoes could be planted in less than half a month.

Manager Liu was a scholar, so he still had some doubts. He said, "Miss, is this possible? The soil stinks a lot!"

Isn't this equivalent to growing vegetables in a manure pit?

"Don't worry! You'll be able to grow good things this way, and if you cover it with dead leaves, the smell won't be too strong!"

Shen Qingjia hired someone to fertilize the land. After such operations, potatoes were planted in this field in less than half a month.

The stewards came to her for matters like this, and she solved them one by one. In this way, the stewards slowly calmed down and realized that the eldest lady was somewhat capable.

Manager Ji's attitude has also changed. In the past, she was strongly opposed to it, but now she just doesn't oppose or approve of it, and she doesn't dig holes for her anymore.

However, Manager Ji still disapproved of Shen Qingjia taking over the Shen family.

The days are passing by, and the New Year is here. Every household hangs lanterns, puts up Spring Festival couplets, and the sound of firecrackers and candles sounds, making it very lively.

On the New Year's Day, a group of people from Shen's hometown came unexpectedly. There were suddenly a few people in Shen's house, and the atmosphere was a bit uncomfortable.

The people who came were the second room of the Shen family, the family of Shen Mingqi, the former cousin of Mr. Shen.

Mr. Shen Er's family used to suggest that Mr. Shen adopt an adopted son because Mr. Shen had no children. Now that they are here, they definitely have no good intentions.

Shen Qingjia was called out to meet her relatives. She remembered many of the faces. After all, she had been dealing with relatives since she was a child.

Mr. Shen has a total of two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is already in his twenties, the younger son is only ten years old, and he also has a daughter who is about the same age as Shen Qingjia, named Shen Yanping. As soon as he saw Shen Qingjia coming, he seemed to run up and grabbed Shen Qingjia and said: "Jiajia, I haven't seen you for several years. I miss you so much!"

Shen Qingjia raised her hand and pushed this delicate-looking girl away. Their relationship didn't seem to be so close.
