Parents are busy farming

Xiang Qiang was thinking about how to draw the terrain of the field, so he was meditating all the way.

Back at Zhuangzi, Ye Zifen sent Qianqian to the house to draw pictures.

He also said to the pawnshop owner: "You go and inform Pang Chao that I will stay at this village for another day. He will naturally know how to deal with other things. Come pick me up tomorrow, and we will go to another village."

After notifying Pang Chao, Pang Chao would tell Lu Zili and ask him to take the news back so that her family would not have to wait for her.

The pawnshop owner agreed and drove the carriage away.

Ye Zifen asked Qianqian's son to take him around Zhuangzi to get a basic understanding of the situation in Zhuangzi.

The biggest advantage of this Zhuangzi over other places is that the warehouses here are stronger and larger.

I think this village was prepared for the Fu family's food supply.

Xiang Zhibo, Xiang Zhibo's eldest son, is very talkative. He was a little nervous around Ye Zifen at first, but later he became much more confident when he introduced the granary.

"Boss, our granary is built with stone slabs stacked together with glutinous rice water and lime. It is very strong." Xiang Zhibo introduced it to Ye Zifen.

Zi Zifen felt very uncomfortable hearing him call her boss, so she said: "From now on, just like them, just call me Fifth Miss."

"Yes, Miss Fifth! I'll take you in and have a look." Xiang Zhibo pointed to one of the warehouses.

Ye Zifen nodded.

Xiang Zhibo took out the key and opened the big copper lock on the warehouse door.

The door of this warehouse is very heavy. Without Ye Zifen's help, Zhixiang Zhibo would not have been able to push it open.

And when pushing away, it changes direction from time to time. If you push hard, you won't be able to push away at all.

Ye Zifen took a look at the thickness of the door. It was ten times thicker than an ordinary door.

After opening the door, Ye Zifen discovered that the opening and closing of the door followed a certain trajectory, with several irregular grooves underneath.

The bottom of the door has a protruding part stuck in the groove.

Ye Zifen extended his thumb.

I don’t know whose design is so ingenious.

Xiang Zhibo smiled and pointed to the sacks piled to the top of the warehouse and said, "These are this year's corn, which have been ground into corn kernels."

After Ye Zifen saw that, she suddenly felt like "I am very rich".

"Most of the nearby warehouses contain corn and soybeans, and there is also a warehouse of sorghum." Xiang Zhibo admired the surprise on Ye Zifen's face and continued.

"Sorghum?" Ye Zifen looked at Xiang Zhibo.

Xiang Zhibo immediately explained: "Yes, there is a wine merchant who comes to buy sorghum every year, so we plant some every year. In previous years, there were not so many, but this year the weather is good, so the sorghum yield is high, and we have a warehouse."

Ye Zifen asked: "When did the wine merchants come in previous years?"

Xiang Zhibo replied: "In previous years, he would have come long ago, but I don't know why he has not come this year."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Ye Zifen's face. The weather has been smooth this year and the grain yield is high, so it will be much easier to buy grain this year.

It seems that the wine merchant has bought enough sorghum at a low price, so he probably won't come.

However, the food in this warehouse now belongs to her, and she cannot let it be wasted no matter what.

Sorghum rice doesn't taste very good, but people who live near the sea probably won't mind.

With an idea in mind, she stopped panicking and warned: "Keep an eye on the grain in these warehouses. I will be of great use. I will find someone to take away the sorghum in that warehouse. You don't have to worry."

When Xiang Zhibo heard this, his heart that was originally hanging finally returned to his stomach.

"Don't worry, Fifth Miss, I will check the food inside every day. There will definitely be no problem." Xiang Zhibo assured.

Ye Zifen has never dealt with him, so she is not so confident about him.

She looked at the next few warehouses one by one.

It's exactly what he said.

"How many people are there in Zhuangzi and what do they do? How many tenants are there?" Ye Zifen learned about other things while looking at the grain.

Xiang Zhibo quickly replied: "There are three families in Zhuangzi. One family is the dowry of Mrs. Fu's family. When he came to Zhuangzi, he came to Zhuangzi to...ahem, supervise my father, and the other family is responsible for the cleaning of the Zhuangzi. , cooking, and menial tasks such as running errands.”

Zi Zifen didn't expect Mrs. Fu to be able to do this. I think Master Fu agreed because he was afraid of doing something to the manager that he didn't know about!

Just when Ye Zifen asked Xiang Zhibo about the situation at Zhuangzi, Qiang Xiang was scratching his head in the room.

Although he was literate, he knew nothing about drawing. In the end, he had no choice but to go out looking for Ye Zifen with a piece of paper.

"Fifth Miss, can I give you a dictation? This drawing is really difficult for me!" Qiang Qian approached with a sad face.

Ye Zifen saw the empty white paper and asked, "Orally, can you explain the specific distance clearly?"

He looked forward and looked at Zhibo. The two looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Ye Zifen took the paper in his hand and said, "You two come in with me."

Then the three of them entered the room. After Ye Zifen explained to them the direction marks on the paper, they started to pick up the brush and prepare to draw.

"Miss Wu, the river has a bend three hundred meters east of this place, and the direction is south."

"The distance from Fifth Miss to this place should be one mile. The distance you drew is too small."

"Miss Fifth..."

During the drawing process, Ye Zifen listened to the two men's back-and-forth discussions from time to time.

Until dusk, it took more than ten pieces of paper to draw the general outline and the direction of the river.

Look at the map in your hand, and then look at the areas marked with water shortages.

"You two said that if you dig a pond here, you can raise fish." Ye Zifen pointed at the drawing.

He also easily drew the approximate location of the pond and the direction of the water flow.

The two people looked at the new line and the circular position that appeared on the map. They were shocked and at the same time admired the new owner's courage.

"However, the fifth girl has two problems. One is the personnel problem, and the other is that winter is coming soon. After the freezing..."

Ye Zifen had already thought about this problem and said: "There is still about a month and a half before the freeze. Let's use this month and a half to dig out the pond. As for the manpower, it means all the tenants. Tell them that we want to do it next year. If you continue to rent my land, you have to go. As for the reward, it is the corn in our warehouse."

Xiang Xiang was still thinking about the possibility of this matter, but Xiang Zhibo had already begun to calculate the appropriate amount of food to give to the tenants every day.

This amount must be grasped well. It must attract people, but must not feed the tenants' hearts with random supplies without a bottom line.

Ye Zifen looked at Xiang Zhibo, and the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became. He was another seedling who was good at taking care of things.
