Quickly wear a life of peace

The mother and son were very happy to see the person return safely, and they specially prepared a table of delicious food to celebrate.

Live by the mountain and eat by the sea, eat by the sea, deep-fried hairtail, stir-fried squid, spring rolls, crystal skin jelly, braised prawns and other main dishes, as well as some stir-fried seasonal vegetables that the mother and daughter like, and finally have a tofu three-fresh soup.

Zheng Yunshu also took out the sorghum wine that he had learned to brew in his previous life. It was very mellow due to its age.

The little abacus in my mind is clattering. Let's eat and drink well so that we can talk about business!

But Zhou didn't give her this opportunity at all. She sent her away after dinner and asked her grandfather and others to have a good rest.

Well, health is important, but you can never make enough money.

Nothing happened during the night. Zheng Yunshu got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for the family. She also had to prepare several snacks for her grandfather to refer to and see what to make. She was really busy and having a lot of fun.

There’s no way to make something like cold noodles which takes a long time to prepare, but it doesn’t matter, I’ve made it for them before when I was in Shangshu Mansion.

Today I will prepare the soup base for oden, and marinate the meat for deep-frying and grilling.

Zheng Changqing got up and smiled happily when he saw it. It seemed that Zhou had mentioned it to him yesterday. Grandfather Zheng Xingrong looked puzzled, thinking that his granddaughter was in a good mood today.

After breakfast, Zheng Yunshu couldn't wait to express his thoughts. Every day was too boring. It would be great if he could have something to kill time.

After listening to his granddaughter's words, Zheng Xingrong thought it was worth a try. He didn't want to pour cold water on her, but he was also afraid that her expectations were too high and she would be disappointed.

"Prepare the food first. Make it tomorrow morning and I'll bring people to taste it. People here may not be used to the taste of the capital. Those officials all bring their own chefs. Those who don't bring their own chefs can't afford to eat in a restaurant. Don't have too high expectations. Just prepare some snacks!"

Zheng Yunshu was not disappointed. He had his own space, no worries about food and clothing, and no obsession with making money. It was just that he was watched very closely here and could only wander around in the yard all day, which was too boring.

He asked Lin Dashan to buy the necessary materials and started tinkering with it at home.

Suddenly I remembered that all kinds of toast, roast chicken and roast duck are also very good!

She also instructed her father and Lin Dashan to build an oven. This oven cannot be used today, but it doesn’t matter. They can be used one by one. There is no rush.

After tasting the food, everyone discussed and decided to make cold noodles together. Of course, Zheng Yunshu was left out of the discussion on how to cooperate and how to divide the profits. Although her grandfather said that he would leave half of the money for her as a dowry, Zheng Yunshu was so angry that she said that women have no human rights.

After a few days of rest, Madam Cheng was taken away. Before leaving, she insisted on kowtow to Zheng Yunshu, but was stopped by Zhou, who was afraid that it would shorten her life.

Zheng Yunshu was free again. She had finished embroidering the tent of a hundred sons and a thousand grandsons and handed it in. She needed to take a break and recuperate, so she decided not to take any more embroidery work.

So she thought about doing something else. Since she was not allowed to do business, she might as well do breeding.

She took out her own private savings and counted them. There were about five hundred taels in total. They were all exchanged for gifts from the ladies in the Shangshu Mansion over the years, plus the money she earned from embroidery. It was not a small amount of money.

Fearing that Zhou would stop her again, she secretly found Zhuang Rui and asked him to find out where there was a suitable hill. She wanted to buy it to plant fruit trees and raise livestock. This would not only save time on maintenance, but also provide cover for her own space.

Zhuang Rui did not disappoint her and helped her buy a barren mountain in Zhangjia Village for only three hundred taels of silver, which was not expensive. The remaining money was just enough to hire someone to tidy up the mountain.

When Zheng Yunpeng is on leave, use him as a shield and take him along for a field investigation.

It can't be said to be a barren mountain, but there is not much vegetation, mostly miscellaneous trees and weeds.

Zheng Yunshu was quite satisfied, so she asked the village chief to arrange for people to build a pig shed and chicken coop at the foot of the mountain, and asked them to follow her drawings and not to pay them unfairly.

It is too late to plant fruit trees this year, so I scattered some alfalfa seeds all over the mountains under the pretext of inspection. They will be just the right amount of food for the piglets and chicks when they grow up a little.

After finishing all these, there is no time to do anything else. It’s getting late and it’s time to go home.

If a child is quiet, he must be doing something naughty.

After she had a career, Zheng Yunshu no longer thought about going out all day, and focused on running her own business. Zhou also felt that her daughter had grown up and was very pleased.

For convenience, she also hired a widow with a child who had lost her husband in Zhangjia Village to do odd jobs for her.

The widow Gao was in charge of breeding matters in the mountains. When the child was twelve years old, he would run errands for her, report on the situation in the mountains, and then convey her instructions to Gao.

As spring passed and autumn came, Zheng Yunshu's mountain had changed a lot. The mountain was covered with green grass, and there were pigs, sheep, and chickens everywhere. There were also hundreds of rabbits in the rabbit house.

A septic tank was dug at the foot of the mountain, which would be clean and not smelly. For this purpose, Gao's sister-in-law, Wang, was also asked to work with her.

The chicks haven't started laying eggs yet. We'll have to find people to pick up eggs and plant fruit trees in the spring of next year. We'll need more people, but we don't plan to find people from Zhangjia Village. We still have to find professionals who can take care of fruit trees.

I still need my grandfather’s help with this kind of thing. There’s no rush now. I’ll wait until the breeding scale is reached by the end of the year.

Now, after several months of heat waves, the cold noodle business is booming and is even sold to the provincial capital. This has added a lot of silver to Zheng Yunshu's small treasury, so she decided to buy a small villa to sell Chinese medicinal materials.

Now that Zhuang Rui's fame has spread, many poor people and even wealthy families are willing to seek medical treatment from him, which results in a huge consumption of medicinal materials.

Although Zheng Xingrong's connections helped him buy some, the medicinal herbs were too expensive for the poor people to afford.

So Zheng Yunshu thought that since he had the ability and skills, he wanted to do something.

Of course, this matter still has to be handled by Zhuang Rui, because he has the time and connections!

After considering various aspects, Zhuang Rui decided to let Zheng Yunshu buy the mountain connected to the farm. It would be easier to manage if they were connected, and it would also be safer with the farm blocking the way.

This time, Zheng Yunshu plans to cooperate with Zhuang Rui, one will provide the money and the other will provide the labor. The medicinal materials will also be handled by Zhuang Rui in the future, and the money earned will be divided equally between the two, which can be considered a win-win cooperation.

Likewise, there is nothing that can be done this year. One can only collect medicinal herb seeds and plant them in the spring of next year. So Zheng Yunshu bought a group of piglets and lambs and raised them on the mountain to take care of the land first.

After all this work was done, the weather had turned cold and the cold noodle business was not very good. Zheng Xingrong was ready to start making oden and fried food to sell.

Zheng Yunshu took out the winter wheat seeds from the space and asked Zhuang Rui to take them to Zhangjia Village and find someone to plant winter wheat on the mountain. Of course, they had to leave room for planting fruit trees.
