Spatial Farm Life: Raising My Kid, Abusing Scum, and Keeping Busy With Life

From now on, the three of them will eat and live here together, and all expenses will be drawn from the account.

Shopkeeper Niu saw that his boss was a woman, but she was not comparable to ordinary women in speaking and doing things, so he was quite satisfied.

Before coming here, Qiu Yaren had told him that Mrs. Qiao was a kind person, and if she followed her, she would not be wronged, let alone treat him badly.

So he has been secretly observing this master. He looks ordinary, but he is full of confidence. He is so calm when ordering a servant for the first time.

The arrangement is also proper, it seems that what Qiu Yaxing said is correct.

He took two buddies, and after buying all the daily necessities that should be bought, he allocated the house behind the shop.

There are three rooms in the upper room, and the living room is used for receiving guests or taking a temporary rest.

The left hand is the kitchen for cooking and eating, and the right hand is his bedroom.

Each of the two guys lives in the west wing, one in the east wing is used for storage, and the other is used for storing sundries.

I heard from the owner that this shop is used to sell fruit and vegetable snacks. Shopkeeper Niu immediately bought a few more carts of bricks, and asked people to pave all the houses and yards in the backyard with green bricks.

The reason is that the place selling food must be clean, as it will be unappetizing if it gets muddy on a rainy day.

In this regard, Qiu Mai did not make a sound.

That is to say, if you hand over the shop to the shopkeeper Niu, everything will be up to him. He must have his reasons for what he says and does.

As a leader, it is not a good thing to control too broadly.

Seeing that the owner didn't ask any questions, shopkeeper Niu had a new understanding of Qiu Mai, and the three of them were looking forward to the early opening of the shop.

On April 12, the rest of the people were also in place.

There was really no room at home, so Qiao Mai first arranged the nine people in the backyard of another shop.

Help her with housework at home during the day, and live in the backyard of the shop at night, this is the only arrangement for the time being.

With these people, she now saves a lot of time and effort. Two girls help her look after Linger, five maids do the usual cleaning, and two cooks cook in the kitchen.

Their cooking skills are pretty good, they are all from rich families, and they can even make ordinary dim sum.

I heard from Qiu Yaren that it was not they who made a mistake, but the owner who made a mistake and sold it, so it means that there is nothing wrong with the two of them.

It was only April, and there were no fruits and vegetables on the market, but at Qiao's house, the two cooks looked at each other.

Some of the seasonings in the kitchen have never been seen before, let alone all kinds of fruits and vegetables.

What kind of person is the new master? It's not easy for them to guess, but they know that the new master must not be an ordinary person.

This is something that even a big family can't get. If it can appear in such a small family, the master must be amazing.

In private, the two cooks also greeted the others, telling them to keep their eyesight, don't underestimate the master, if something happens, don't blame them for not reminding them.

In fact, it doesn’t need to be said by the two of them, they both have eyes, they are all specially trained in dentistry

As for the waiters, it's better to have one against the other, especially the two girls, who are very winking.

On the second day after they came, Qiao Mai took them to the ready-made clothing store and bought several bolts of cloth, as well as needles and threads, so that they could make clothes for each other during the day.

Each one was muslin, much better than what they had on.

Shopkeeper Lu heard that she had bought someone, so he went to Qiao's house for a look, and almost fainted.

"How many people did you buy?"

"Twelve, and three more are in the shop, which will open in the middle of the month."

"You are really good. If you don't buy it, you will be fine. Once you buy it, you will be scared."

"We've moved. We're the only ones in such a big house. We're afraid to live in it. It's thirty-five acres of land. How can we do it without someone cleaning it? There are so many people to eat, so let me alone Do it, don’t exhaust me, you just say it well, buy a cook, and I haven’t seen you buy it until now.”

"Hey, I always feel that I don't need it."

"Well, if you don't buy it, I will. After we live together, you will go home for dinner?"

"It's necessary. I have a cook at home. What are you going to eat outside? How expensive it is."

"I teach the two of them to cook one dish every day. When we move there, they can do what I usually cook."

Lu Sanniang swallowed her saliva when she heard this, "I'll get hungry as soon as you say that."

"Let's eat here at noon, and try our cook's craftsmanship."

"Hey, when will you do two more embroidery jobs?"

Qiao Mai put down the embroidery work in his hand, "May, I'll give you three pieces."

While talking, Xiuhong appeared at the gate of the courtyard, "Boss, there are customers in the store looking for you."

Lu Sanniang felt a little regretful when she heard that, "Next time I come to your house for dinner, I'll go first."

"good"

Shopkeeper Lu left, Qiao Mai lowered his head and continued to do embroidery, while the two maids played with Linger.

Sure enough, with manpower, people become much more relaxed.

But after a while, shopkeeper Lu came back with a bundle.

"Sister?"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Look at this screen, can it be repaired?"

Qiao Mai opened the bag and took a look, "It's all like this, how can I fix it, it won't work at all."

"Then what should I do? The guest said that the child accidentally fell down and the candle fell on the screen and was lit. When he was rescued, it was already like this. You embroidered this. Can you help me think of a way? Huh?"

"Must it be exactly the same?"

"That man likes this painting of a peacock spreading its tail."

Qiao Mai remembered that this pair of screens was taken out of the space, and she did not come here to embroider it. Logically speaking, if the old one is destroyed, a new one will appear in the space.

So I looked for it with my mind, and it really appeared.

"When does she want it?"

"The sooner the better"

"Half a month, if you can't wait, forget it."

Shopkeeper Lu gritted his teeth, took the burden and left, and came back after a while.

"Okay, half a month, she came to get it, because I needed it urgently, I added 500 taels for her, and I asked her for 5,500 taels for this screen."

"Now you are a bit interesting, and you will have to be like this in the future. Good things must be expensive, and urgent ones are even more expensive."

"Hey, that man is gone, I'll have lunch at your house."

Qiao Mai said to the cook, "Mother Zhang, Mother Zhou, cook some good dishes for lunch, my sister will eat at home."

"Yes, master."

Shopkeeper Lu was very envious, "Look at the people you bought, and then look at the people I bought."

"Okay, what you bought becomes an embroiderer, and they will make money for you."

"Hee hee, speaking of this, I plan to buy two girls as dowry when Ru Xin gets married."

"Don't ask for beautiful ones. Those that are too beautiful are generally restless. Be careful climbing your son-in-law's bed."

"Yeah, I plan to buy two shops in the county for my eldest daughter, and buy a dowry of 3,000 taels of silver, and cash of 1,000 taels of silver. What do you think?"

"It's up to you to decide. As a master, I don't need to add makeup and give any jewelry if I give my apprentice a thousand taels of silver."

"so much?"

"It's not much. When Ruyi gets married, I will pay this amount. I will be a master anyway, so I can't be less."

"Hey, thank you then"

"You give so much dowry to your daughter, what about the Feng family?"

"It is said that it is a dowry gift for Thirty."

"I don't think his family is very strong. Thirty lifts and one thousand taels of silver are not bad."

"His family is not as rich as ours, that's what it means, as long as he treats my daughter well."

"I can't look down on such a family. There are concubines in the family. It's messy."

"Otherwise, like some big families, there are too few people without concubines, and they don't like us."

Qiao Mai's eyes flickered. In the evil old society, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Even Lu Sanniang, who wants to be strong, resigned to his fate.

Fortunately, women are allowed to be single here, unlike what is written in the book, in some dynasties, girls have to marry when they reach a certain age, otherwise they will be appointed by the government to marry a man at will.

If Yuan Jiaqi fell in love with someone else in the future, she would readily give him freedom.

She has always been rational, no matter whether she likes this man or not, it is not her own, she will never force it.
