Other people on the farm also learned that the third young lady was trying something new.

People passing by always look at it curiously.

"Miss Third is amazing. She is so young but knows so much."

"Yes, it's good for us too."

"Xiaobao must also study hard with the teacher, so that he can become as capable as the Third Miss."

"All the children on our farm have to study hard. It's not cheap to hire a teacher. Miss San even bought lanterns for you."

The adults earnestly told the children not to let the little master down.

The children were also sensible and nodded in agreement. They would not miss such a rare learning opportunity.

The others also dispersed, busy turning over and drying the autumn grains, and then storing them in the barn. This year's harvest was good, and the grains would be enough for them to eat until next summer's harvest, and there would even be some left over. As for what to do with the remaining grain, it would depend on the Third Miss, either to sell it or to keep it.

Uncle Cai went out to find a temporary job, so Zhang had to go and report to the third young lady herself.

"Miss Third, what should we do with the remaining food? Do we really not have to worry about the master's family?"

Mu Chaoge was pounding charcoal powder, and he was covered in charcoal powder. Hearing this, he looked up at Zhang and said with a smile, "Don't worry about my father. If he asks you for food, just push it to me. With me, will our autumn harvest be enough to last until next year?"

Zhang looked at the black powder flying everywhere, and for a moment she couldn't understand what the Third Miss was doing. She came to her senses after hearing her words, "Ah? Hey, it's enough to eat, and there's still a lot left. I just want to ask Miss, are you going to sell it?"

Mu Chaoge asked her, "Have you done the math? If everyone can eat dry rice, will it really be enough to last until next year? If there are leftovers, how much can be saved?"

Zhang was confused by her question and was a little nervous for a moment. She said awkwardly, "I haven't calculated it carefully, I just estimated the amount."

Mu Chaoge asked her to go back and settle the accounts. "You can't be unclear about accounts. Come back to me after you figure it out. If it's only about 200 pounds more, keep it for yourself. If it's more than that, come back to me."

If there isn't much, just keep some to feed the livestock, that's just enough.

If there are more.

If you don't mind the trouble, you can make some cakes and sell them, and you can make some money. If you find it troublesome, you can just sell rice. Anyway, you are quite familiar with the grain shop.

Zhang quickly agreed, wiped the sweat off her forehead and left. As she left, she was still thinking, "Third Miss is young, but she really has the demeanor of a master."

But you can't really treat them as children.

Mu Chaoge sneered when she heard this, then turned around and continued to tinker with her things.

Dujuan was a little surprised.

My third young lady is becoming more and more powerful, and her speed of growth is truly impressive.

The period when she was spoiled and domineering seemed to have passed in an instant, and she had become so reliable. Although she was small in stature, she had become the backbone of the farm, and everyone was becoming more and more dependent on her.

Mu Chaoge hopes that the villagers will trust him, but he also hopes that they can stand on their own.

Don't let her worry about everything.

They should be taught what they need to be taught. As the saying goes, there is no order without rules.

The first thing Mu Chaoge wanted them to understand was that the accounts had to be clear and not be confused about everything, otherwise they would be upset every day if the numbers didn't match.

It is better to make everything clear so that everyone will have a better idea of ​​what is going on.

Zhang has gone back to learn arithmetic and calculate the amount of grain harvested in autumn. She will come back slowly and after a long time, this habit will be engraved in her bones.

Nanny Zhou came back before dark. The farm had just added some extra dishes tonight and stewed a large piece of pork ribs. The aroma wafted from far away and made her hungry.

When I got back, the dishes were already prepared on the small table: a big bowl of braised pork ribs in soy sauce stewed on a wood stove, refreshing cold dishes, fried tofu, and rice.

When Mu Chaoge heard that Madam Zhou had returned, he didn't even bother to eat and quickly called her in, "Madam, come quickly! Have you found the recipe for the tooth powder?"

Nanny Zhou came back carrying a bag, and it was clear at a glance that her trip was not in vain. Sister Dujuan quickly took it, and Xiao Taozi went to serve tea to Nanny.

Mu Chaoge put down his chopsticks and went straight to Du Juan to ask for the package to open.

"Little ancestor, at least eat your meal first. It won't be too late to watch after you finish your meal."

Nanny Zhou had just drunk a cup of tea and couldn't help but say something to Mu Chaoge when she saw him.

Xiao Taozi grinned and said, "Miss has been thinking about it for the whole afternoon, how can she bear it?"

Du Juan was helpless: "Mammy didn't see the young lady's appearance in the afternoon. If you had seen her, you would have fainted. She was all black, all charcoal powder."

Madam Zhou drank another cup of tea that Xiao Taozi had refilled for her. She was surprised when she heard the words, "Charcoal powder? What charcoal powder?"

Xiao Taozi immediately gestured, "It's the charcoal we usually use for burning firewood, Ma'am! Pick out a few good ones, and the young lady and I will crush them together, like this! The charcoal powder blows loudly, and the charcoal powder that is ground out is really fine!"

She demonstrated to Nanny Zhou out of thin air how to make charcoal powder in the afternoon, and she looked very excited.

Nanny Zhou almost fainted just by listening to it, "You're killing me. You followed the young lady when she was making trouble and you even tried to persuade her and play with her?" She twisted Xiao Taozi's ear and was about to teach her a lesson.

Mu Chaoge lowered her head to look at the prescription, and said without raising her head: "Mammy, please don't bully Xiao Taozi. I asked her to help me, what does it have to do with her?"

She also said aloud: "Sister Dujuan, it is not a good habit to complain."

Du Juan was shocked by her words and quickly said that she didn't dare to do it anymore.

My heart was lifted.

Xiao Taozi immediately escaped from Nanny Zhou and hid behind Mu Chaoge.

Mu Chaoge glanced at Sister Du Juan, then said to Nanny Zhou, "Mammy, you have been very helpful. This recipe is very good. I finally have an idea! I will try to modify the formula later. Who knows, it might work."

Madam Zhou was also frightened by her young master's scolding. She was both afraid and relieved! So she could only nod dryly, "Well, I am satisfied that I can share the young lady's worries and my old bones can still be put to use."

Mu Chaoge smiled and told her not to say that, "You are all my closest people and the people I trust the most, so I hope you also believe me."

She must have her reasons for the decision she made, and she also wanted them not to worry too much.

Especially the matter of filing a complaint.

Dujuan sometimes cares too much and tends to forget her own identity.

She is just a slave after all.

The first thing a servant should do is to obey orders, instead of trying to put pressure on Mu Chaoge by complaining to Nanny Zhou to stop her from doing anything out of line.

Ordinary rich girls would not do these things, let alone touch dirty charcoal, but she is not like that. Mu Chaoge wants to develop this farm well, so she has to endure some hardships. She hopes they will not spoil themselves too much.

Dujuan thought about it for a while, and finally knelt down and bowed to show that she understood.
