Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

"It's alright, the chili powder can be handed over to the helpers for processing. The sauce will be handed over to us to mix it up."

Liu Shi was taken aback.

"Oh, I asked my sister-in-law to buy someone for me. With the contract in hand, I'm not afraid that the person who bought it will use their brains." Lin Xiaoyue explained.

Liu's eyes widened.

"You bought someone again?!"

Lin Xiaoyue looked a little embarrassed. Uh... the word "again" used by her mother...

"Uh... Mother, this time the buyer is different from before. This time the buyer is really a servant. I bought it to serve you and help with the family business."

Liu Shi's face moved slightly.

"Where do you need a servant?" he muttered.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and grabbed Liu's arm.

"Where can I use it? In the past, the conditions of our family were not enough. Now that your daughter has money, it is time for you to enjoy it."

"Come on, to do business at home, your daughter must have a credible and effective helper, right?"

Seeing that Mrs. Liu didn't resist any more, Lin Xiaoyue said again: "Mother, don't worry. The family I asked my sister-in-law to help find is a family with six or seven members."

"When the old woman will follow you, the old man will be the housekeeper for our family. There are boys of the right age who can be book boys for Qing'er and Xiaozhi, and the maid and the servant will stay at home to help."

Liu Shi nodded.

I think this arrangement is reasonable.

"There are so many people in the family. I'm still thinking of expanding a small courtyard next to our backyard to live in for the new servants."

There are still three vacant rooms at home. In fact, you can live in a crowd, but Lin Xiaoyue doesn't want to arrange this.

Now that she has money in her hand, and is planning to build a workshop, it is better to build it together.

Liu Shi glanced at Lin Xiaoyue, sighed, and did not stop.

It is useless for her to stop what the daughter decides.

Besides, when there are six or seven more people at home, it is really difficult to live.

I want to give all the vacant rooms at home to the servants. What should I do if there are guests at home?

The daughter-in-law and son-in-law are getting more and more promising, and there is a high possibility that their family will have guests in the future.

Lin Xiaoyue talked to Liu Shi for a while, and then went to cook.

After dinner, Lin Xiaoyue went to the village chief's house.

The village chief learned that Lin Xiaoyue was very excited not only to find people to build houses and workshops this time, but also to find people to help.

"If your workshop is built, if you need labor all the year round, people in our village can find work nearby."

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

"There may be more work in the coming year. This year, I only have half a month to make spicy cabbage."

"Haha, it will get better and better!" The village chief laughed.

"I also heard about your family's collection of cabbage. Thanks to your collection of cabbage, everyone was spared from cutting off the excess cabbage in the field to feed the pigs."

"Hey, there are a lot of cabbage on the market now, and it's hard to sell it for a penny a pound if you send it to the town. It's rare that you pay everyone a high price."

Suddenly thinking of something, the village chief looked at Lin Xiaoyue again.

"But... do you really need so much cabbage?"

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

"To tell you the truth, Ruyi Building has already contracted, and I will do all the spicy cabbage this year. Moreover, in my business, Ruyi Building has directly invested in the stock, and the demand will be even greater next year."

A hint of hesitation flashed in Lin Xiaoyue's eyes, and then she looked at the village chief.

"There's something I didn't want to mention to you so early. But since I've talked about it today, I'll just say it directly."

"You said." The village chief looked at Lin Xiaoyue, his eyes became serious.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and signaled to the village chief not to be nervous.

Then he said, "That's it. In the future, if I want to do this spicy cabbage business, it will definitely not be possible for me to grow it by myself. And there are hundreds of households in our village, and many of them have land. I just wanted to ask everyone if they would like to. Willing to help me grow cabbage."

"The cabbage is planted. It's big, and a cabbage can weigh two or three pounds. At that time, I will buy it from everyone for a penny a pound, and a tree will be two or three penny."

"In our world, cabbage can be grown in spring, summer and autumn. After all, it may not make less money than other crops."

The village chief was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes immediately burst into brilliance.

Isn't it more profitable than growing other crops? Simply too strong!

Harvesting three seasons a year is more cost-effective than growing grain!

"Girl Yue, are you serious?!" The village chief looked at Lin Xiaoyue excitedly.

This is a great deed for the welfare of the whole village! If this can really be done, every family in Dashi Village will be able to profit!

Lin Xiaoyue smiled, "Naturally take it seriously."

"Three days later, the owner of Ruyi Building will come to my house to discuss cooperation with me. There is a high probability that people from Zhou's firm will also come."

"If you are free here, you can come to my house and listen."

"If we reach a deal, I can make a contract with you and book in advance, all the cabbage in our Dashi Village in the coming year."

"And after that, every year before the winter, we can discuss the plan for the coming year."

The village chief was excited.

"Okay! Then I will meet the owner with you in three days!"

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.

A Zhuangzi with hundreds of acres of land generally costs two or three thousand taels of silver.

And someone has to come out to buy it.

When Zhuangzi bought it, he had to be looked after, and he hired tenant farmers to cultivate the land, which was a lot of effort.

Cabbage is only the most common crop in this era. It is better to let the villagers help to plant it, and then buy it directly with money, which can save a lot of work.

Their Dashi Village is a big village. Every family together, the land is nearly a thousand mu, which is much larger than the average Zhuangzi.

At that time, even if only half of the villagers help her grow cabbage, she will not worry about cabbage in the coming year.

If she is worried, she will go to Shangyang Village again, and chat with the village chief of Shangyang Village about cooperation.

She is confident that Shangyang Village will definitely be happy to cooperate with her.

Of course, for this kind of win-win, her priority is still Dashi Village where her family is located.

Lin Xiaoyue discussed the situation with the village chief again, and it took almost half an hour before she was released by the village chief.

After leaving the village chief's house, Lin Xiaoyue went to Sun Carpenter's house again and talked about inviting him to work.

Then, after going out, he went to Li Mian Craftsman's house again.

Directly contracted Li Minjiang's work this year.

The main thing is to prepare for the peppers in Zhuangzi next year. At present, there is no shortage of tools for making spicy cabbage at home.

Because I don’t make cold cakes much at home now, after the wooden tub and bucket are emptied, it can be used to make spicy cabbage.

After ordering the goods he wanted with Li Minjiang, Lin Xiaoyue returned home.

Not long after arriving home, Mrs. Zhou came.

In addition to the driver, there were actually seven people in the carriage who followed Zhou.

It was the servant Zhou bought for the Liu family.

"I bought it according to your request, it happened to be a family." Zhou Shi said to Lin Xiaoyue.

"Let's introduce yourself." Then he looked at the few people standing.

The old man came forward and bowed to Liu Shi and Lin Xiaoyue.

"I have seen Mrs., miss. The little Zhao Fu, this is the Chen family, the eldest son Zhao Kang, the eldest daughter-in-law Ma, the grandson Zhao Dabao, the second son Zhao Qiang and the daughter Zhao Shanshan."

Liu Shi was a little surprised, and felt that although the man in front of him was a slave, his bearing was extraordinary.

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

"What do you guys know?" asked Zhao Fu.

"Miss Hui, I used to take care of the main house when I was young. Chen is good at kitchen work. Zhao Kang and Zhao Qiang used to be servants and coachmen with the main house. Ma and Zhao Shanshan are good at sewing."

A look of light flashed across Lin Xiaoyue's eyes.

"Which ones are literate?" asked again.

"Miss Hui, Xiao and Zhao Kang, Zhao Qiang and Zhao Shanshan are all literate. Grandson Zhao Dabao has just finished learning the Three Character Classic."

Lin Xiaoyue was taken aback.

It was unexpected that the next generation of the Zhao family would be literate.

Glancing at Zhao Dabao, the youngest, Lin Xiaoyue saw that the child was standing beside Ma with his head bowed.

"It's not bad." She was about the same age as Qing'er, so she arranged for her to be a book boy, just in time to take care of her in the town.

"How old are you?" Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue asked Zhao Dabao.

Zhao Dabao respectfully stepped forward and saluted.

"Miss Hui, the villain is ten years old."

Lin Xiaoyue nodded and looked at Zhao Fu again.

"You don't look like you are selling yourself, why were you resold by the master?" Lin Xiaoyue asked again.

The family of seven were neatly dressed and courteous.

Especially Zhao Fu, who seems to be quite tolerant, I am afraid that the origin is not so simple.

Zhao Fu was taken aback.

Then he gave Lin Xiaoyue a salute.

"Little man..."

"Miss Hui, it's because of the slave! It was the slave who offended the previous mistress and affected the family." Suddenly Zhao Shanshan rushed forward.

"Be presumptuous, step back!" Before Lin Xiaoyue could speak, Zhao Fu had already reprimanded Zhao Shanshan sharply.

Zhao Shanshan trembled, glanced at Zhao Fu in fear, and backed away.

It was also at this time that Lin Xiaoyue saw Zhao Shanshan's face.

This girl has beautiful facial features, and her skin is actually quite good.

"Miss forgiveness, it's the villain who didn't control it." Zhao Fu hurriedly saluted Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue waved her hand.

"Tell me, what's going on." He looked at Zhao Fu.

"Although my sister-in-law has bought you all for me, I don't pay attention to impure people here."

Zhao Fu was startled.

Quickly surrender to Lin Xiaoyue.

"Miss Rongheng."

"The villain's family was originally the servants of the Zhengju family in Nan'an County. It was only because the uncle took a fancy to the little girl and the little girl refused, which made the uncle hated and the eldest wife suspicious. After that, the lord went west, and the eldest lady took charge of the house and wanted to take the little girl. sell."

There was some sadness in Zhao Fu's voice, "The villain has implicated the whole family because of his plea. In the end, the villain's whole family was sold by the eldest wife to Zhou's Teeth Shop."

"Fortunately, the villain and the person in charge of Zhou's Teeth Shop in Nan'an County had a little friendship, so that my family of seven was not separated."

Zhao Fu salutes Lin Xiaoyue again.

"This time, Mrs. Hei went to Lord Wednesday's house to choose someone, and the villain happened to be at Lord Wednesday's mansion. Hearing about the situation at Miss's house, she thought it was a good place. That's why she recommended herself to Mrs. Hei, and asked Lord Wednesday to come to Liu's house."

The Liu family environment is simple, and the young lady is in charge of the family.

The uncle is a door-to-door, and the nephew and the lady have been saved by the lady, so they won't do anything out of the ordinary.

Also, the young master and his nephew are young, and they are studying in the academy, so his grandson can just follow him to become a book boy, and he will truly be able to read and hyphenate in the future.

Zhou Shi nodded at Lin Xiaoyue and told Lin Xiaoyue that everything Zhao Fu said was true.

This family of seven was originally transferred by her third cousin to prepare for her own use.

But the talent just arrived, and his third cousin hadn't spoken yet, saying that he wanted to keep them, but she bumped into him.

Zhao Fu is also smart. After listening to the situation, he took the initiative to mention it to the third cousin and wanted to come to the Liu family.

The third cousin, because of the spicy cabbage, is now trying to sell some favors from the Liu family, can it be done?

Lin Xiaoyue raised the corner of her mouth.

"If that's the case, then you can stay."

"Miss Xie!" Zhao Fu hurriedly saluted.

The Zhao family quickly followed suit.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

"Our family doesn't like too much politeness. If you do it well, I will definitely not treat you badly."

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Zhao Fu.

"Uncle Fu, you used to be a housekeeper in Zheng Ju's family, and you must have a lot of knowledge. Although our Liu family is small, there are some businesses in the family that need to be taken care of. Now is the time to employ people."

"Since you have entered the Liu family, you are your own family. Next, how about letting you be the housekeeper of my Liu family?"

Zhao Fu looked happy.

"Miss Xie, Zhao Fu must do his best to repay Miss."

Lin Xiaoyue hooked her lips and looked at Zhao Kang and Zhao Qiang again.

"Zhao Kang, Zhao Qiang, you two should follow me first, help me run errands, and take care of the business at home. If you do well, you will be valued in the future."

Zhao Kang and Zhao Qiang looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

"Miss Xie!" hurriedly saluted.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Chen and Ma again.

"Chen Shi, in the future, you will be by my mother's side and take Ma Shi together to do kitchen and household chores."

"Yes!" The two hurriedly saluted.

"Zhao Dabao, you will be a book boy for Qing'er in the future. Wait for Qing'er to take regular leave the day after, and then you will go to Qingyun Academy with him to take care of Qing'er's clothing, food and daily life."

In the academy, it is possible to bring a book boy. When she pays some accommodation fees, she will be able to arrange Zhao Dabao in it.

"Miss Xie!" Zhao Dabao quickly stepped forward to salute.

Hearing that he could go to the academy, his little face was full of joy.

His three-character scripture was taught by his father, and he had already learned it all.

I want to learn more, but my father doesn't have so much time to teach him.

When I go to the academy, although I can't go to the academy to listen to the Master's lectures like my nephew, I can eavesdrop on some outside the academy.

There are not many things to do in the academy, and he will have a lot of time to learn things.

When he came, he heard Mrs. Hei say that the young nephew is twelve years old and is studying in the third-level Class A of Qingyun Academy.

Young master nephew, although his surname is not Liu, his status is no worse than that of Young Master.

If he can be admitted to Tongsheng next year, his status in the Liu family will probably be even higher.

He took good care of his nephew and young master, and he will not be far behind.

The rest of the Zhao family were also very happy for Zhao Dabao.

Lin Xiaoyue glanced at everyone's faces, and finally looked at Zhao Shanshan.

"Zhao Shanshan—" he said.

Zhao Shanshan looked a little panicked, and hurried forward to salute.

"Yes, miss!"

"Raise your head." Lin Xiaoyue glanced up and down at Zhao Shanshan.

The Zhao family's expressions became nervous.

Zhao Shanshan flinched, then raised her head.

Lin Xiaoyue finally saw Zhao Shanshan's face clearly this time.

The willow eyebrows are curved, the almond eyes are affectionate, and there is a little tear mole under the left eye, which makes the whole person more charming and charming.
