Mo Qiansheng woke up and found herself transmigrated to a famine era. Not only was she struggling to eat, but she and her four children almost became someone else's meal.
Mo Qiansheng tur...
Mo Qianchang is a modern person, so she doesn't feel anything is wrong, but this happens to be in ancient times.
"It's okay... I'm leaving now. Remember to eat it while it's hot."
Qin Baiyi watched Mo Qianshang turn and leave, her fingertips still lingering on the feeling of touching her skin.
Mo Qianshang's skin was very smooth and delicate. She didn't look like a woman who worked all year round. Instead, she looked like a young lady from a wealthy family who never lifted a finger.
When Mo Qianshang returned to the dining table, she found that the children had finished eating the ribs, and they ate only what they were served, without wasting any.
Mo Qianshang also ate quickly. After a busy morning, her stomach was empty and she just wanted to fill it up as soon as possible.
Mo Qianshang ate very quickly. Although no one urged her, the rib soup was at the perfect temperature, so she could eat and drink at the same time.
After the children finished eating, Mo Qianshang had also eaten her fill. She personally escorted the three children to the academy and then returned home to plan her next steps.
After saying goodbye to Madam Yao, Mo Qianshang went out, followed closely by Qin Baiyi. They remained silent all the way to Chen Jin's house.
Chen Jin had prepared well in advance, just waiting for Mo Qianshang to arrive so they could set off. The two didn't exchange many pleasantries before setting off.
Sitting on the oxcart, Mo Qianshang was still making plans. She needed to buy fish fry and chicks. If she built more houses, she could also consider other livestock. She wanted to achieve self-sufficiency in production and sales, and most importantly, to supplement the children's diet.
Upon arriving at the estate, Chen Jin conducted an on-site inspection, consulted Mo Qianshang's opinion, and then began taking measurements.
“Lady Mo, it’s feasible for you to build as many houses as possible to raise livestock, but the construction period won’t be that fast. It will take at least half a month.” Chen Jin calculated that the timeframe was about right.
Mo Qianshang nodded: "Okay, you can arrange these things as you see fit. How much will it cost in total?"
Knowing that Mo Qianshang was a straightforward person, Chen Jin quoted a price, and Mo Qianshang still paid half of the deposit first.
Chen Jin had worked with Mo Qianshang many times, so he knew Mo Qianshang's most basic requirements.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to do it right now."
Without saying a word, Chen Jin went off to get busy. The main reason was that his employer was very helpful, and he wanted to give his employer a satisfactory answer.
Chen Jin felt very motivated when he thought about the money he had earned in the past few months, mainly because Mo Niangzi had basically taken care of all his work.
Having determined that building the house would take half a month, Mo Qianshang decided to first arrange for the fish fry, lest the newly dug pond be left to waste, and what if she forgot about it later?
Mo Qianshang wasn't in a hurry. She thought she would go to Dongshan Village to take a look, as she didn't know what the current situation was with the two hundred acres of land there.
Mo Qianchang thought that perhaps she could check how the fish fry were sold in the system. Since the system's products were bound to be of high quality, it was not certain that she could buy fish fry outside at this time.
Mo Qianshang opened the system and checked. There were fish fry available, and several different kinds, each with a different price.
Grass carp fry are 20 for 500 coins each, carp fry are 15 for 500 coins each, crucian carp fry are 20 for 500 coins each, and there are some others...
Mo Qianshang took a look and found that not only fish could be raised, but also shrimp. Just thinking about the fresh and plump crayfish made Mo Qianshang's mouth water.
The prices are similar, but the number of fish fry is different.
As Mo Qianshang sat on the oxcart in thought, the cart wheel suddenly got stuck in a ditch, and the inertia caused her to fall onto Qin Baiyi.
"Young master in white, I didn't mean to."
Mo Qianshang quickly got up and got off the oxcart to see what was going on.
If she hadn't been thinking, how could she have missed this unexpected situation?
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she vowed that she would never do it again.
The young man driving the oxcart struggled for a long time before finally managing to lift it up. Just as Mo Qianshang was about to help, Qin Baiyi walked over and easily lifted the oxcart.
"Thank you so much, young master. I don't know what I would have done without you. You two are a couple, right? I have no way to repay you, so I'll waive your fare!"
The guy genuinely wanted to express his gratitude. He had encountered similar situations before, waiting a long time before someone would pass by and help him. Not to mention the time wasted, he was also stuck there and dared not go far, fearing someone might steal the cow, which would be even more of a loss.
You have to understand that when it comes to pulling a cart, you should do as many trips as possible, and carry as many people as you can, because time is money.
This young man is clearly a martial arts practitioner; otherwise, how could he lift such a heavy oxcart so easily?
Mo Qianshang had a headache. She and the white-robed young man were clearly just friends, so why did they all mistakenly think that the white-robed young man was her husband?
It's said that Qin Zixuan and the others' adoptive father has disappeared, leaving the children with the former Mo Qianshang. Now that she's here, it's uncertain whether that man will suddenly reappear.
Mo Qianshang was about to explain that she had no relationship with Qin Baiyi, but Qin Baiyi actually went along with what the waiter was saying.
"Alright, then we won't stand on ceremony with you."
Mo Qianshang had a string of "mmp"s in her mind, but she didn't know whether she should say them or not.
I feel like I've been taken advantage of.
We arrived at Dongshan Village in silence. There were still quite a few villagers at the village entrance, gradually emerging from the fields to go home.
Everyone was happy to see Mo Qianshang arrive, and the news spread quickly.
Upon receiving the news, the village chief and Madam Shen rushed over immediately.
Aunt Shen was an impatient person. When she heard that Mo Qianshang had arrived, she immediately put down what she was doing and went to find Mo Qianshang.
"Hey girl, you're here! Are you here for an inspection? Oh, by the way, you asked me to keep an eye out for candidates with the village chief. We've already made our selections. As soon as your project is finished, these people can go over."
Aunt Shen guessed most of it right away. She knew exactly what was going on. She had handled everything Mo Qianshang had asked her to do perfectly. She couldn't just take someone's money and not do anything for them, could she?
If things continue like this, who would dare to hire her? Although it might offend people, Aunt Shen wasn't afraid of offending anyone; she always upheld the law impartially.
"I came here to take a look around. I didn't know how the land was doing, and I just happened to have nothing else to do, so I came to wander around."
Although the land was bought by Mo Qianshang, she visited very few times and rarely went to check on the fields. Aunt Shen knew that Mo Qianshang was busy, so she would often go to the surrounding area to take a look.
If anyone slacks off, Aunt Shen will give them a verbal warning. She's not paying people to support a bunch of parasites. Besides, she introduced these people herself. If she lets them get away with it, wouldn't that be ruining her own livelihood?
