Parents are busy farming

After Lu Zili was empty, Ye Zifen discussed with him about opening up the shop.

"Have you already bought the store next to it?" Lu Zili looked in disbelief.

Ye Zifen nodded, "I bought both sides, and the one on the right is due tomorrow. Find someone to tidy up the inside. It's best to repaint the walls and open up the back kitchen, so that there won't be any need later. It’s so crowded.”

Because new food has been served and the mutton soup has not been removed, the kitchen has become much more crowded now.

After Lu Zili nodded, he asked another question: "Now we can't sell a single sheep, and we have to kill the sheep. What do you think we should do? We can't waste it!"

Zhang Gaoyi interjected: "Let's roast the lamb! The roast lamb we made that time was very well received!"

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Zifen and saw the blackness in her eyes, feeling extremely distressed.

Normally, he wouldn't have said this!

Ye Zifen also nodded in agreement.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Then we need to find someone else. The two of them in the kitchen are very busy now. The roast lamb needs someone to keep an eye on it."

Lu Zili also felt that this was the best way to do it. He also suggested: "It's best to find a few more boys. Wang Sheng and Li Song are already learning accounting and reading from me. I'm wondering if you want to train them to become shopkeepers! Then you also need to re-learn the boys' work. We’re hiring!”

Ye Zifen nodded and said: "Tomorrow I will buy someone and come directly to the store to teach her how to roast mutton. As for the work, you can directly ask Wang Sheng and the others to see if they have suitable candidates. They are already in this business. How much? You should know some people, but you don’t know that they should have children of appropriate age at home, and they can just train them.”

"In addition, the money you spend to find someone to tidy up the store will be directly deducted from the store's income!" Ye Zifen reminded again.

Zhang Gaoyi couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed Ye Zifen's hand and walked out: "Just leave it to him. He's older than you and me, so don't worry about this little thing!"

Ye Zifen had no choice but to shut up and walk out with Zhang Gaoyi.

Inside, Lu Zili looked at the two people walking out with a narrow look on his face, his eyes full of unbreakable affection.

After Ye Zifen left the shop, she strongly requested to go to the medicine shop. Zhang Gaoyi couldn't resist her and took her to the medicine shop.

Ye Zifen bought back all the six pounds of saltpeter from the drug store.

Five hundred coins per catty, a total of three taels of silver spent.

Seeing her buying so much saltpeter, the medicine shop owner quickly warned her, "Miss Ye, saltpeter must not be mixed into food. It will cause diarrhea, so be careful."

Ye Zifen nodded solemnly and said that he would definitely remember it.

On the way out of the city, Zhang Gaoyi asked: "What are you buying saltpeter for?"

Ye Zifen blinked and said: "Secret!"

Zhang Gaoyi stopped asking and the two came to the city gate.

Zi Zifen wanted to walk back, but Zhang Gaoyi disagreed. He hired a bullock cart to take Zi Zifen home.

On the way home, Ye Zifen couldn't help but fall asleep.

Zhang Gaoyi was afraid that Ye Zifen would catch cold, so he took off his coat and put it on her, and asked her to lean directly on him, so that she would be more comfortable sleeping.

He himself was thinking about establishing a caravan.

Now he teaches his friends boxing every day whenever he has time, hoping that they can go out like him in the future.

He knew very well what it was like to live guarding those acres of land. He wouldn't starve to death, but he couldn't have any accidents.

Instead of going to the training ground by herself, Zi Zifen asked Zi Ziwei to help.

The training venue is the land behind the sheep shed where the dyehouse has not yet been built.

At first, these half-grown children were not convinced by Ziwei, but they all became convinced after being tortured by Ziwei in a single fight.

Lu Hongguo used to be the king of children among them, but now no one wants to go out and have fun with her.

Because they want to learn their skills well and make big money with Zhang Gaoyi in the future.

This made Lu Hongguo's hatred for Ziwei even stronger.

Zhang Gaoyi's method of persuading them was very rough. He went to the mountain to hunt three rabbits and roasted them for them to eat. "Follow me from now on and I will ensure that you eat meat every day."

Then they accepted it, and now they gather at the training ground every day when time comes, and they also help with household chores.

Therefore, the recent atmosphere in Lujia Village is very positive.

Now that the caravan has horses, the master will find someone to escort them in the early stage, so only the cars and goods are left.

Zhang Gaoyi thought: ‘Let’s discuss it with Xiaowu when she is free! ’

The car swayed home, and the period of time that Ye Zifen rested in the car was very useful.

After arriving home, he first told them the general situation. When they heard that the bandits were attacking Zhuangzi, Ye Yongwang and Wang Tinghe's faces suddenly turned pale.

Although he saw his daughter coming back safe and sound, when he thought of his daughter fighting those bandits, a chill came out of his heart unconsciously.

"Dad, those bandits burned several wheat fields. I promised to subsidize them after the wheat is harvested. Go and see how many acres of land were burned, and write down the names of the people and the number of burned fields. I'm too tired. , there are other things to deal with. Please help me run a trip!"

Ye Zifen said in a pleading tone.

When Ye Yongwang heard the soft voice, his heart softened, and he immediately hit the bullock cart and set off.

Before leaving, he said to Ye Zifen: "By the way, I have hired two long-term workers. If you see what they need to do, just ask them to do it!"

Ye Zifen nodded, and after sending Ye Yongwang away, he went to meet the two long-term workers.

Thinking that the farming will be busy soon, it would be better to plant soybeans before harvesting wheat.

After seeing the two people, Ye Zifen nodded unconsciously.

From the appearance, both of them are relatively honest and willing to work. They have a lot of calluses on their hands and are around 27 or 28 years old.

The clothes looked like they had been re-purchased after coming home, and the fabric style was very similar to the clothes of the Li family and his son.

At this time, the bull came back with a group of sheep. The herd was huge, with one sheep taking the lead and the others following behind.

The naughty lamb stopped deliberately. After the ewe saw it, she stopped and waited for it.

When it refused to leave, Li Daniu whipped it on the ground next to it with a whip.

The lamb was so frightened that it ran forward quickly. When the ewe saw that the lamb was following, she also followed the large group back to the sheep shed.

When the two long-term workers saw the sheep coming back, they quickly poured the water from the bucket into the trough and let the sheep drink.

Why is it drying water? The water in the well is too cold to prevent the sheep from having diarrhea after drinking it, so after the water is brought up, it must be dried in the sun. When the sheep come back, the water temperature will be just right.

Finally all the sheep entered the sheepfold. In order to prevent the sheep from fighting for water, Mr. Li and Daniu prepared many drinking troughs.

The three of them poured water together, and it took a long time!

Ye Zifen was also very pleased after seeing it. The two long-term workers had a job in their eyes, so there wouldn't be too much conflict.

As for whether the two of them were doing it for her to see, there was no need to worry. How long had Daniel been here? They were acting in front of her. How could Daniel not speak?

Seeing that they had finished their work, Ye Zifen said to the two of them: "You have just arrived, so you may not know what to do. I have three acres of land planted with spring corn, and the spacing is relatively large. I want to plant a row of soybeans between the two rows of corn, which is just right for you." Plant it in two afternoons. Daniel knows the location of the land. Let Daniel take you there. Come and get the soybeans from home!"

When the two heard this, they quickly agreed. Although they did not agree with the idea of ​​growing soybeans in corn fields, it seemed that there was no room for them to speak.

Then Ye Zifen went home carrying a bucket of fresh goat milk.
