Soon, time passed and it was October, the golden autumn, and the harvest season had arrived.

The second crop of rice has begun to produce rice ears, the second crop of peanuts are ready to be harvested, and the peppers are also being picked.

In the fields, the villagers were busy. Although it was autumn, the heat of the autumn heat was very strong. The fierce sun was scorching the earth.

Because the weather was so hot, the villagers went out to work early in the morning and came back when the sun rose higher.

I went out after the afternoon when it was relatively not so hot. If it was too hot, I couldn't work and might get a heat stroke.

Shen Ping's family's cotton has basically been picked, and the warehouse is filled to the brim with probably several thousand kilograms of cotton.

Shen Ping plans to use part of the cotton to make quilts and part to make cotton clothes.

During this period, she opened a new cotton processing workshop, specializing in quilt processing.

Shen Ping picked out two servants from her house, Dagui and Chengcai, and asked them to learn how to fluff cotton.

The two of them were about eighteen or nineteen years old, and they were diligent and clever. They got the hang of it after Shen Ping taught them a few times.

Shen Ping promoted the two of them to management positions in the cotton processing workshop, and then recruited workers from outside, about twenty people, and the two of them were responsible for the recruitment and training.

This Dagui is usually a hard-working person in the Zhang family, and he never complains about his work.

Now Madam suddenly promoted them both to workshop management. Dagui was afraid that he had no experience and couldn't do well, so he hesitated: "Madam, I'm afraid I can't do well."

But Chengcai was very brave. He patted his chest and said, "What are you afraid of? What don't you understand? I still have my wife. Besides, there is a first time for everything~"

"That's right!" Shen Ping nodded: "If you don't understand anything, come and ask me."

"Okay." Dagui gritted his teeth. Since the lady was willing to give him a chance, he couldn't turn it away. Being a workshop manager was better than being a servant at home.

In this way, the cotton processing workshop began to operate in a bustling manner.

This is what Shen Ping planned. Now he is basically the one who grows cotton. Others have not planted much yet. Now they mainly process the cotton they grow.

When other villagers have planted cotton, they will have to process it into quilts. However, you can't learn how to fluff cotton just because you want to. Other materials are needed.

By then, their workshop will outsource the processing to other companies. Then, he will be the only cotton processing workshop in the area, and the business will be like a wheel.

At the beginning, 20 people could only make two quilts a day. Now, after half a month, everyone's hands and feet have gradually become faster, and now they can make four quilts a day.

Shen Ping put the finished quilt in the warehouse, thinking that when Mr. Liu came back to purchase goods, she would sell the quilt to him.

When the quantity is large, it can be shipped to Beijing and sold in your own furniture store.

Soon, Erya’s two babies were about to reach their one-month old. The young couple discussed and decided to hold the full-month celebration and the palace’s housewarming celebration together.

This way, there is no need to choose a special day when moving into the palace, saving trouble and effort.

Shen Ping also agreed with this plan, and He Li handed the matter over to Manager Qiu.

As for Jufulou, it will be temporarily closed for two days, and the people in the kitchen will be transferred over to prepare the banquet.

In addition, He Li told Manager Qiu that he wanted him to return to the palace to be the housekeeper, because after all, he had been with him for so long, and he was the only person he trusted.

He Li asked him to go to the pawnbroker to buy a few old women and a dozen maids and servants. Such a big palace needed people to take care of it.

As for Jufulou, let’s take a look and find a suitable person to be the manager.

Shopkeeper Qiu is now nearly 50 years old, and he has felt overwhelmed during this period. It just so happened that the prince proposed this idea, which was exactly what he wanted.

After much thought, he recommended Wu Ren, the waiter at Jufulou, who was also his brother-in-law, to the prince.

Shopkeeper Qiu spoke directly and stuck to the facts. Although Wu Ren was his brother-in-law, he did not take sides.

In the beginning, Wu Ren was indeed a bit unreliable, but later, under his influence, Wu Ren's personality has changed a lot.

He is also working sincerely for Jufulou to see if the prince can give him a chance.

He Li nodded. He believed in Manager Qiu. Since he said it was okay, it must be good. He might as well give it a try, so he agreed.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Shopkeeper Qiu laughed. He had managed to secure a good opportunity for the brat. What would happen next depended on his luck.

When Wu Ren found out that he was going to be promoted to shopkeeper, he was so happy.

But he also knew that holding a banquet in the palace was also a test for him.

Shopkeeper Qiu was very efficient and he quickly bought servants from the pawnshop. These servants saw the words "Prince Yi's Palace" written on the gate.

Only then did they realize that their future master would be a prince. Everyone was shocked and excited.

These servants had all worked in wealthy families before, so they basically didn't need any training and were able to do their jobs quickly.

He Li asked servants to transport the furniture over in advance. Along the way, they attracted a lot of people's attention, especially when they saw the mattress, everyone came to ask what it was.

These servants were only responsible for transporting goods and couldn't explain anything. They only heard the prince say that these were called mattresses. As the name suggests, mattresses are probably used to pad the bed.

After hearing their explanation, the villagers became even more confused. Does the bed still need a cushion? Could it be that it is placed on the bed? For a while, everyone argued endlessly.

It took a whole day to finally transport all the furniture over. He Li asked his servants to put the furniture in place and keep the house clean.

Two nights before the banquet, he took Erya and her son and got on a carriage and returned to the palace.

Soon the day of the banquet arrived. Early in the morning, Wu Ren directed the restaurant's kitchen staff to get busy in the kitchen. Shopkeeper Qiu had already had the ingredients prepared in advance. The servants also helped out.

The palace covers an area of ​​more than 20 acres, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, towers and gardens.

Shen Ping gave He Li a lot of flower seeds and asked him to give them to the gardener to sow, telling him that the flowers would grow within three days.

This kind of seeds include Gesang flowers, double-petaled zinnias, sunflowers, and sunflowers.

No one believed that the flowers could bloom in just three days. Unexpectedly, the flowers grew as soon as they were planted. In just three days, on the day of the banquet, the flowers really bloomed.

At first glance, the garden is a sea of ​​flowers, with colorful Gesang flowers blooming in the wind, it is so beautiful.

The zinnias here are just as beautiful, also colorful and blooming.

The sunflowers and solar flowers also made the guests linger.

This time, He Li did not invite many people to the banquet, except for County Magistrate Zhang and some relatives of the Zhang family.

Those who heard the noise and rushed over to try to get close to the prince were all turned away one by one.
