Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

"Xue'er, is there anything else you need to buy?" Jiang Chen asked. Jiang Xue shook her head. She had to arrange for the food and lodging of those people. Suddenly she remembered that she had just recruited a manager, so she turned around and pulled Jiang Chen towards the dock.

In the backyard of the dock shop, a group of people sat, waiting for the owner's arrangements.

At this time, Chen Dafu looked melancholy. He didn't know much about the master's family and didn't know whether he would be valued. Chen Yanshi beside him patted his hand and signaled him not to worry.

With a creak, the backyard door opened, and Jiang Xue and Jiang Chen walked in. Looking at the people in the yard, Jiang Xue felt a little headache. She cast her eyes on Chen Dafu in the crowd and said, "Hey, you must be Chen Dafu! Come here."

Chen Dafu was immersed in his own thoughts when his wife pushed him. He asked in confusion, "Why did you push me?"

"The master is calling you!" Chen Yan said hurriedly. Chen Dafu was startled and quickly stood up and bowed to the master in front of him: "Master, what do you want me to do?"

As expected, she was trained by everyone. Her words and actions all showed the demeanor of a wealthy family. Jiang Xue smiled and said, "You have been a steward before! Although I don't know you well, but we are currently in need of a steward, so this house will be handed over to you. If you don't do a good job, I will replace you."

Chen Dafu was delighted. He thought he could only get a job as a gatekeeper, but he didn't expect the master to trust him so much and let him continue to be the manager. He looked at the master opposite with gratitude.

"Thank you for your trust, Master. I won't let you down."

Jiang Xue nodded, and then asked Jiang Chen to take out five hundred taels of silver and hand it to Chen Dafu.

"Take this money and buy some daily necessities and furniture. If it's not enough, come and ask Ah Chen to pay you back. By the way, the house has been bought. It's on the street, where the plaque of Chen's house is hung. Remember to ask someone to make a plaque for Jiang's house. Here is the key to the door." Jiang Xue thought that some things inside were broken and needed to be replaced, so she gave these people more food and clothing, and gave him the key.

Chen Dafu was slightly delighted, and after bidding farewell to Jiang Xue, he walked out of the courtyard. Chen Yanshi was delighted to see that her husband was still in charge.

Jiang Xue looked at Chen Yanshi on the side, thinking that this person had been trained in a wealthy family and was a nanny, so she might have some ability, so she wanted to let her be responsible for the personnel dispatch. "Chen Yanshi, come here."

Chen Yanshi, who was just delighted, heard her master calling her and hurried forward and said, "Master, what do you want me to do?"

Jiang Xue nodded and said, "That's right. You heard it at the pawnshop just now. I want to open two shops, one at the dock and one on the street. Apart from Chen Yuxi and Zhong Ziqi, you will be in charge of the staff arrangements, and the affairs of the mansion will also be left to you and your wife to manage."

Chen Yan was delighted and stood up immediately to arrange personnel: "Chen Yang and Chen Yan will be in charge of the shops on the street, Huzi will be in charge of the waiters on the street; Wang Youcai and his wife will be in charge of the shops at the dock, Langzi will be in charge of the waiters at the dock; Chen Ziyu will be the shopkeeper at the dock." Seeing that there were no shopkeepers in the shops on the street and that these people were not suitable, Chen Yan asked the master in front of her: "Master, who do you think will be the shopkeeper on the street?" Jiang Xue thought for a moment, looking at Jiang Tiao who had bought a carriage and returned, she had an idea in her mind.

"Second brother, why don't you come? I'll let Uncle Ziqi take you." Jiang Diao was stunned. Why was it him and not his eldest brother?

"I will make arrangements after I get back to the village and finalize the private school matter. You take care of my brother first." Jiang Xue said to Zhong Ziqi.

Zhong Ziqi nodded in agreement. Chen Yanshi, who was standing by, stopped talking when she saw that the shops on the street had been arranged.

Jiang Xue was thinking of taking people back to the house to clean up first, so she asked Chen Yanshi to make arrangements: "Chen Yanshi, let's go back to the house now, and you can arrange for them to clean up and assign rooms later."

Chen Yanshi quickly agreed and immediately arranged: "Everyone follow me and follow the master back to Jiang's house."

The plaque of Chen's House [Jiang's House] has not been replaced yet. Everyone was quite surprised when they saw this house. However, Chen Yan and her family, who had seen the world, did not show the slightest surprise. After all, the mansion of her former master's family was several times larger than this.

Jiang Xue led the group and told Chen Yanshi, who was standing beside her, about the arrangements of the courtyard along the way. After taking Chen Yanshi to tour the entire Jiang residence, Jiang Xue planned to go to the market to continue shopping.

"Brother, second brother, Achen and I went shopping. We need to make meatballs at home. Nanny Yan, I won't come today. You and Manager Chen should arrange the family affairs. I will come the day after tomorrow. You should arrange everything in the next few days." Chen Yan nodded in agreement.

It was already afternoon, and Jiang Xue didn't know the situation with the pork. She was anxious. If she couldn't buy meat, what would happen to the meatballs?

Soon, Jiang Xue and others arrived at the market, which was almost deserted.

Zhang the butcher was packing up his shop and preparing to go home when he suddenly saw a girl coming. She looked familiar. Thinking back, she seemed to be the girl who bought a lot of pork a few days ago. He quickly put down his things and went to greet her: "It's a little late for you to come here now. There are not many people here now. The last piece of meat was bought by a steward."

Jiang Xue frowned and asked hurriedly, "Do you still have meat? No, do you still have pigs?"

Butcher Zhang was shocked. "Pigs." Did the girl want to buy pigs? He thought about how many pigs he had at home, so he asked the girl, "Yes, we have a few at home. How many do you want?"

Jiang Xue thought for a moment. It would take a lot to make meatballs. They would be needed for both stores and for the family, so it would be better to buy more.

"Two heads!"

"Girl, it's really late now, and you'll have to go a long way. How about this, if you need me, I can come to your house and help slaughter the pig. But it's really late today, so I may have to trouble you to arrange a place for me to stay." Butcher Zhang thought to himself, and felt that he had taken the initiative to come to the door, so he expressed his thoughts.

Jiang Xue nodded in agreement. She thought, if she took the ox cart to pull the pigs now, plus the time on the road, it probably wouldn't be too late to get home. "Okay, let's go, let's go to your house first."

About a quarter of an hour later, the group arrived at Butcher Zhang's house outside the town.

Jiang Xue looked at the pig in front of her and couldn't help but worry: this pig is quite large. If it is loaded on a ox cart, there will be very little space left on the cart. Where should people sit?

While she was thinking, Butcher Zhang had already brought out a huge iron cage and placed it on the scale. He pointed at the scale and said, "One hundred and twenty-three pounds!"

Jiang Diao, who was standing nearby, looked at the scale carefully and said nothing more after confirming that it was correct.
