Xia Luo asked Shaoyao to bring the wine to them, and Tiandong and Kongqing drank with them.

My sister and brother-in-law are from the country and have never eaten these things. Even the guards have never eaten such delicious food.

After three rounds of dishes and five kinds of rice, the whole family was very satisfied.

The next day, Charlotte took her sister and brother-in-law to check on the farm.

This village is located on the west side of Anping Town. It has fertile land and covers an area of ​​1,000 hectares. It was a place where the royal family came to vacation in the past.

In the village, there are pavilions, bridges over flowing water, green corridors, flowers, plants and trees.

There is a large area of ​​black land on the back side. Even though it is winter, the trees around the land are still green.

"Tiandong, go and ask Mr. Xia to come over later." Find Xia Yunyuan and ask him to find a mason to build the pigpen. Wild boars are ferocious in nature, so the house built on it must be sturdy.

"Yes, ma'am." Tian Dong responded and stepped back.

"This is a friend's farm. He is in the capital and has no time to take care of it, so he lent it to me to farm. You can live here from now on. There are enough rooms, and you can bring mother over as well."

Charlotte didn't tell them that it was a reward from the emperor, for fear of scaring them and also for fear that they would have a desire to cling to her. She would plant the land for a year to observe their character, and when the opportunity came, she would lead them to live a good life.

"Sister, why do they respect you so much?" The second sister asked Charlotte curiously.

"They are all my husband's people. Although my husband is gone, they won't leave. I can't do anything about it."

Charlotte had no choice but to lie like this. It was not something that could be explained in just a few words. It was better not to reveal Situ Jin's existence.

Although the prince and the queen have calmed down, there are still unknown forces watching her in secret. It is better to be safe than sorry.

"Sister Xia, what are you doing again?" Xia Yunyuan followed Tiandong over.

"Brother Xia, I plan to raise pigs on this farm to provide food for the restaurant. My sisters are here to help me, so I want Brother Xia to find those bricklayers to build a pig house."

It not only provides food for restaurants, but also for the people in the mountains, the soldiers at the border, and the factories, which also need to distribute benefits during the Chinese New Year.

"That's easy. It's winter now and they don't have any work to do. It should be no problem."

"It's winter now, and the soil is not easy to get." Xia Yunyuan reminded Xia Luo.

"They are often doing construction work, so there should be a way to solve it." Charlotte thought that if it couldn't be solved, she would find another way. There are always more solutions than problems.

"Then I'll go find them and tell them directly what your plan is."

Xia Yunyuan is very capable.

After a while, all the bricklayers arrived.

Charlotte drew a range.

Tell them how to construct it. After all, it's just a pigsty, so it's very simple.

After agreeing on the wages with the bricklayers, they started working.

"Brother Xia, why didn't you go to Willow Village yesterday?" Xia Luo was curious about what he was busy with.

"It's your husband. There is a shortage of food at the border, so he asked me to go and collect some food."

"There is a food shortage at the border, why didn't he tell me?"

"He said not to let you know because he was afraid you would worry. But I spent several days preparing, and it's still not enough to feed the soldiers on the border for half a month." Xia Yunyuan sighed bitterly.

"I have tens of thousands of kilograms of cabbage stored here, as well as rice and noodles. You can send them over and say that you raised the money. It should be no problem for them to get through the winter."

"This is just in time. Are you doing a good deed without leaving your name or are you giving him a surprise?"

"Neither. Send a truck to the warehouse tomorrow to pick them up. I'll check it out later and make some cotton and linen clothes for them to take back."

"Brother Xia, I have a jade pendant. You are in the capital and have many connections. Please help me find my family." Xia Luo handed the jade pendant to Xia Yunyuan. She now believed him without reason.

Xia Yunyuan felt very familiar when he took the jade pendant, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

He fumbled with the jade pendant and thought for a moment: "Okay, Sister Xia, don't worry, I will keep it in mind."

"When spring comes, I will plant rice on all the land in the farm. Then we will have white rice to eat."

"If we can buy the farm next door, we can plant wheat there. Then we can eat white flour and be free."

Xia Yunyuan listened to Charlotte's imagination of the future. He couldn't help but admire Charlotte's wisdom and courage. It's too late to meet her. Otherwise, with such a beautiful woman, why worry about not being happy for the rest of my life?

"The farm next door belongs to Mr. Wang. If you want to buy it, I'll go ask for you. It's been idle for a long time, so I think it might work."

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Xia. If you succeed in buying it, just say it was you who bought it and don't let my family know."

If his sister and brother-in-law knew about this, he would be afraid that they would have the idea of ​​despising the poor and loving the rich, which would affect the sisterhood.

One hundred pig pens were built, each with a flushing device to prevent the pigs from having to take a bath in the summer.

After several rounds of communication, Xia Yunyuan bought the manor for 15,000 taels.

The sisters went back to pack up the things at home, make arrangements, and bring their children to live in the farm.

Xia Luo brought her mother and Xuanxuan to live with her sisters. She was often traveling around and could not take care of the elderly and children.

The old lady is in good health now, and Xuanxuan is still there to keep her company.

Xia Luo also transferred the secret guards left by Situ Jin to the manor to prevent any unexpected events.

The two farms were connected, with the second sister living in the newly purchased farm, and the eldest sister and mother living in this farm, so that both sides could be taken care of.

In order to raise pigs, Charlotte brought ten farmers from the mountains out of the mountains and sent them to the farm.

Let the eldest brother-in-law be responsible for management, and the second brother-in-law be responsible for delivery and purchase.

The eldest sister collects the debts, and the second sister is responsible for the expenses of the farm.

I sent my eldest sister's child to college, while my daughter and Xuanxuan learned embroidery and reading at home.

Charlotte cleared out most of the wild boars in the space.

The pigs in the pigsty are all very strong. Fortunately, the pigsty has the best protection.

"Third sister, your pigs are almost ready to be killed. How can you raise pigs like this?" The eldest sister looked at the adult pigs. It must have cost a lot of money.

"These are boars and sows. Buy them and let them mate first."

"Breed a little bit at a time. Slowly, there will be more."

"Oh, that's okay. I thought they were all going to be killed and eaten as meat." The second sister relaxed.

Charlotte didn't dare to release the little wild boar, as it would be too obvious. She waited until everything was on track, then released them little by little. Including the fish, the stream was almost overflowing.

Xia Luo was thinking about Situ Jin's side. The New Year was coming soon. Should he kill a hundred pigs and some fish to bring to the soldiers? Although it couldn't solve the problem of eating meat and fish for a long time, it would be fine to satisfy their hunger temporarily.

Xia Yunyuan delivered the food and cabbage to the border, and the soldiers were overjoyed.

The food provided by the court was all brown rice, with no vegetables, just some pickled radishes and the like.

After eating it for a long time, my stomach can’t take it and I want to vomit when I see it.

After all, they still have to defend the city, and they are lacking in nutrition and feel weak all over.

Even if we go to fight, we are still unable to do it.

The food delivered this time includes white rice, white flour, and Chinese cabbage, which is also a green vegetable.

The firemen were full of energy and could make white flour buns to eat.

Situ Jin was very lucky to have a friend like Xia Yunyuan, who sent him supplies at a critical moment. It was really timely rain.

What he didn't know was that all of these were bought by Charlotte.

What he didn't know was that Charlotte would give him an even bigger surprise.
