Happy Life in the Red Chamber

Ming Xi bought too many seeds, most of which he didn't know. Zero Seven diligently scanned them and made a hand-drawn atlas, which also included the habits and planting methods of the seeds.

When Mingxi took out this picture book and showed it to Xue Pan and Baochai, they were all shocked: "Mom, where did you get this treasure, isn't the painting too clear?"

Mingxi: "This is a Western oil painting, turn it back and you will know."

When Baochai turned to the end, her eye circles couldn't help turning red, and at the end there was an oil portrait of her dead father Xue Xun.

Ming Xi touched the small portrait: "Your father bought it from a missionary with a lot of money when he was in the capital, and this one looks like the missionary painted it for him.

In the past, I always laughed that his money was wasted. I have never seen these seeds before. They must be coaxed by missionaries, but I didn’t expect it to be true.

Pan'er, your father left you such a good thing, and mother hopes that it can be carried forward in your hands.Maybe by farming, you can really become a knight, and let those who look down on our family take a good look at it. "

Seeing that Xue Pan was a little moved, Mingxi hurriedly continued to fool around: "I won't let you go to work in the field yourself, you just watch them carefully and direct. The work will be done by servants. If you don't follow, when the time comes We planted it well, and when people ask you how you did it, you can’t explain why, can you?”

Xue Pan was fooled by Mingxi and patted his chest and promised: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely command them well."

Mingxi turned to the pages of corn and potatoes: "If you want to command others, you must first be able to do it yourself, so you should study hard. In this way, I will ask Steward Xue to explain to you what it means.

He followed your father to travel all over the world, and he has been in charge of Zhuangzi in Zhili for many years, so he is quite knowledgeable about these farming matters.

Pan'er, Bao'er, you must have noticed that Guanshi Xue is no ordinary servant, he is a man capable of writing and martial arts, and has great abilities.

If your father hadn't saved him and recognized him as a righteous brother, we are living a difficult life as orphans and widows, and he wouldn't come from Zhili to help us.

You should respect him as an elder, especially Pan'er, and change your dog temper.Learn from him well, remember? "

Xue Pan had seen Xue Ming's ruthlessness before. The two of them went hunting together in the back mountain and met a wild boar.Xue Ming hacked to death the wild boar weighing several hundred catties with one strike.With his guts, he didn't even dare to show his teeth to Xue Ming.

Xue Ming got Mingxi's order and devoted himself to teaching Xue Pan.Whenever this guy dared to be lazy, he would glance over at him, and the overlord would immediately transform into a little bunny, doing whatever he asked him to do.

Their mothers lived in Zhuangzi for a long time. During this period, Xue Pan also tried to grow peppers and tomatoes.

With the help of Xue Ming, Xue Pan reorganized all the Xue family's shops in the capital.

Except for grain stores, restaurants, and groceries, everything else changed hands.

The restaurant was closed for refurbishment, the former cooks, shopkeepers and staff were all dismissed, and a new batch was bought with a dead contract.

After two months of training, by the time the restaurant reopens, these people have been able to do their jobs with ease.

The menu of the restaurant has also been updated, adding many fresh dishes.Among them are all kinds of desserts made of tender corn, and various delicacies made of potatoes.

During the renovation, Mingxi set up a simple spirit-gathering array for the restaurant, which made people feel like a spring breeze as soon as they entered the restaurant.Coupled with the endless delicacies, it is natural that there will be a lot of guests.

There are water purification charms thrown in the large water tank, which can purify the water quality. The water tastes good, and the dishes and soups made are naturally not bad.

Desserts made of corn, sweet soup, various noodles, hot and sour potato shreds, mutton stewed potatoes, chili fried meat, tomato scrambled eggs are all popular dishes.

But the most popular one is tender corn on the cob, which is very popular. In a few days, the steward of Jiubeile Mansion found Xue Ming with a very arrogant attitude.

Xue Ming said flatly: "You can't be the master of this matter, please tell Lord Baylor on your behalf, the slave will go to the mansion to pay his respects in three days."

The steward was about to change his face when Xue Mingsai handed him two 100 taels of silver notes, his attitude immediately changed, and he patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring the words to Lord Baylor."

Three days later, Xue Ming dragged the anxious Xue Pan to Jiubeile Mansion.Yinzhen looked at Xue Pan, who was kneeling and trembling, and Xue Ming, who was indifferent, and cried out.

Xue Pan was trembling and couldn't say anything clearly, Xue Ming glared at him bitterly, then reached out and took out a letter from his bosom: "This is my wife's letter, it contains everything that Jiu Beile wants to know." .”

Jiu Beile took it casually, glanced at it, and immediately raised his head in surprise: "Is everything in this letter true? Are there really such high yields of corn and potatoes?"

Xue Ming replied neither humble nor overbearing: "There is no basis for talking, Lord Baylor can condescend to go to the Zhuangzi to check in person, what the restaurant sells is only corn and potatoes grown in small plots.

None of the large plots have been used, they are not ripe yet, and we will have to wait another month to know the exact yield. "

Yinzhen stood up abruptly: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go, I'm going to have a look now."

Yinzhen ordered the horses to be prepared, and led the guards to follow the two of them to speed up their horses and rush to Fangshan.

When I arrived at Zhuangzi in Fangshan, I saw those pieces of corn, and the corn cobs on it made me happy.

Although it is not yet mature, but looking at those densely packed sticks, you can know that the output will never be low.

After watching the corn, Xue Ming led him to the potato field, dug down with a hoe, and brought out a large bunch of fist-sized potatoes.

Xue Ming pointed to these potatoes and said, "Master Jiu, they are not ripe yet, and they will be bigger and heavier in a month. This is just the yield of one potato plant. You can imagine the yield of this piece of land."

Yinzhen glanced at him: "You let me see it in person, the picture shouldn't be small, right?"

Xue Ming bowed: "Madam..."

Ming Xi blessed his body: "Greetings to Lord Jiu, Lord Jiu is auspicious."

Yinzhen glanced at Mingxi: "You are Mrs. Xue?"

Mingxi nodded: "I know what Master Jiu is thinking. On the way from Jinling to Beijing, I met a businessman from the West. I recognized the corn and potatoes that my husband mentioned to me in the early years.

These are actually grown in many places, but only in small quantities.My son is filial, so he said that he would try to plant it on his own Zhuangzi, but he did not expect it to be successful. "

Yinzhen raised her eyebrows: "Madam hasn't answered Master's question yet, what are you trying to do?"

Ming Xi sighed: "Don't be afraid of Jiu Ye's jokes, at the master's funeral, the clansman was aggressive in every way. If the servants were not the daughters of the Wang family, orphans and widows, they would have driven them out of Xue's house long ago.

The slave girl wanted to ask for grace, the grace to protect the slave girl, mother and son from being bullied.Master Jiu, if you do this well, it will be a merit for you to benefit the country and the people. "

Yinzhen was silent for a while, and said after a while: "This matter is too big, I want to report to Huang Ama..."

When Yinzhen left, Mingxi lightly pasted a talisman on his back, and the talisman disappeared in a flash.

After returning to the city, Yinzhen originally wanted to discuss with Ba Ye immediately, but suddenly remembered something else, so she put this idea aside.

When he remembered that it was already night, he thought he might as well go to Baye's mansion the next day.At night, he had a dream about something, which made him change his mind. When he went to look for Ba Ye, he kept a secret. He didn't say that he discovered it by himself, but said that his subordinates heard that someone had discovered high-yield grain.

When Yinsi heard this, he was beaming with joy: "Old Jiu, hurry up and send someone to investigate and confirm it. If it is true, then we will have more bargaining chips to dedicate to Huang Ama in the future."

Yinzhen twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling a little bitter in his heart, but his face didn't show it at all: "If it's true, it will be a great thing for the common people."

Yinsi smiled and said nothing, Yinzhen stood up and said, "Then starling, I'll go back first, and I'll let you know if I have any news."

After leaving Baye Mansion, he walked around the street and asked someone to invite Prince Yong to his restaurant.

After hearing what he said, Yinzhen stood up abruptly: "This is a good thing, can the ninth brother accompany me to see, if it is true, we must report it to Huang Ama immediately."

The two of them hurried to Fangshan, and then entered the palace without stopping.After getting off the horse, on the way to Qianqing Palace, Yinzhen praised Yinzhen as he walked: "Ninth brother, this is a great thing that benefits the country and the people, and you are the first to do this.

Hey, this is really great, why didn't I think of it before.If it could be promoted earlier, there would be no refugees starving to death due to the severe drought in Shandong the year before..."

Yinzhen used to get angry when he saw Prince Yong, and he was disgusted when he heard him speak, but now he is talking endlessly, and he actually listens very pleasantly.

He couldn't help shouting: "Fourth brother..."

Yinzhen stopped and turned to look at him: "Ninth brother?"

Yinzhen smiled: "In the past, my younger brother was ignorant, so I made things difficult for my older brother, so I will pay you here."

Yinzhen thought about it for a while: "You are talking about shaving my Pekingese? It's okay, I'll cut your braid too."

Yinzhen immediately changed his face: "Fourth brother, why are you still so annoying? I'm going to turn my face on."

Yinzhen couldn't help laughing, and patted him on the shoulder: "Why are you still talking about him in the past, let's go and see Huang Ama quickly."

After all, Kangxi was calmer than the two of them: "Don't say anything about this matter for now, you two will quietly send someone to guard it, and when the harvest is ripe, I will go and see it myself.

Old Nine, you did a great job.I will give you a credit, and you will be rewarded later.In the future, follow your fourth brother to finish this matter, remember not to spread it outside. "

Kangxi's meaningful words made Yinzhen heave a sigh of relief. It seems that he made the right bet. Huang Ama really never considered mynah.

He said sorry to the eighth elder brother in his heart, but he didn't want to end up in the dream. He was fearless, but there were old and young, and they couldn't follow him into the pit.

Especially those few daughters who passed away at a young age made his heart ache the most. Which one was not the treasure he held in his hands and cared for!

He wants to live a good and decent life in this life, protect them well, be safe and happy.

Mingxi discovered that there were many bright and dark guards on the periphery of their village, and there were soldiers guarding those fields.

She just didn't know what to do and lived her life as usual.Urging Xue Pan to go to the field, in the empty yard of Zhuangzi, he fiddled with soap and scented soap, and offered them to Lord Jiu through Xue Ming's hands.

This business still requires him to come forward, Mingxi is in charge of production, Jiuye is in charge of sales, and Mingxi only takes [-]% of the proceeds.

Master Jiu is very satisfied with her understanding, it's not that he never thought about coming to Fangzi and doing it by himself.

But Mingxi gave him too many surprises, and that talisman made him trust Mingxi.In the long run, he decided to cooperate with her.

When Xue Ming first bought the farm, he just saw that the farm was big enough.Mingxi used five courtyards that were not connected to each other as workshops.

The process of making cold soap is not complicated, it is divided into five steps by Mingxi, each step has several people, and the division of labor is clear.

These are all thick and honest maids bought, not to mention they are the cheapest at Renyazi, and there are very few people who buy them.

Mingxi bought dozens of maids who had signed death contracts, taught them skills, paid them a high monthly fee, had three meals a day, and did not do heavy work.

They are very grateful. At home and with Renyazi, their status is the lowest.Being beaten and starving is commonplace, and here is simply heaven.

Someone cooks for them, and they can still eat meat every day, eat enough, and wear warm clothes.When I was sick, a doctor prescribed medicine, and I wore work clothes when I went to work, and they didn't need to wash the work clothes that were easily soiled.

In order to be able to stay here, they are very capable. Although Mingxi never set a workload for others, no one is lazy.

The last process is packaging, and the lowest quality soap is directly packed into boxes.Soaps vary in price and are packed in a variety of exquisite and even luxurious boxes.

The soap with the lowest production volume contains not only essential oils, but also beauty elixir powder.There will also be a small box of beauty cream as a gift. Use it to wash your face and then apply the beauty cream. After one month, your face will be white and smooth.Although the price is scary, it is very popular with ladies.

Especially the empresses in the palace, who doesn't want to be beautiful, the empress Yifei is the most popular in the palace now.

Every time Master Jiu entered the palace to pay her respects, he couldn't help but feel distressed: "Emiang, this is so expensive, okay? Can we stop using it so quickly?"

Concubine Yi tugged at his ear: "You bastard, my mother only uses your soap, and you still think I use too much? I'll beat you to death, you unfilial bastard."

Master Jiu said a lot of good things, and finally calmed her down.Concubine Yi dragged her: "Go and ask, if there is any beauty treatment, just that beauty cream, it is very useful. Didn't you say that it was made by Mrs. Xue's family? You go and ask her."

Yinzhen touched her chin: "I guess there is, Er Niang, you haven't seen that Mrs. Xue is really young. If she didn't know that she is Wang Ziteng's younger sister, she would be quite young.

I suspect that she is not Xue Pan's biological mother.Too young, even tenderer than Dong E's face... Uh, Er Niang, what's wrong? "

Concubine Yi glanced at him: "Tell Nanny Gu to follow you, and just say that I want to see Mrs. Xue."

Yinzhen scratched his head and led Nanny Gu out of the palace. His mother turned her face faster than a book. Just now she asked him to ask for beauty cream, but now she let Nanny Gu out of the palace again. out.

If Yinzhen knew that Concubine Yi was worried about him, she would definitely cry out for injustice.He's a bit of a savage, but no matter how bad he is, he won't fall in love with an old lady, right?Still a widow, how can he be so hungry?What's more, he fell in love with the little girl from the Xue family...
