After training these workers, he planned to become a hands-off manager.

When Long Yuan left, he handed Su Muyao a stack of land deeds.

"This hundred acres of land is a gift to you. Your father said it is what you deserve. The crops planted in the land have already begun to bear fruit."

Su Muyao gasped; the royal family's strength was evident from the moment they made their move.

A hundred acres may not sound like much, but when they're all connected and form fertile land, they're incredibly valuable.

"Haven't we already bestowed rewards? Why do you insist?"

“You are different from those peasants; these fields will be of greater use to you, won’t they?”

Then the little dumpling nodded, glanced at the stack of land deeds, and put them into her crossbody bag.

In reality, it was sent directly into the space.

They gave us hundreds of acres at a time, and they were all connected together, so it would be easier to manage the modern crops we planted there later.

After exchanging pleasantries, Su Muyao accepted the gift, thinking that she would grow some grain and send some to Longyuan in the future as support for the soldiers on the front lines.

Soon, a food called "shaved ice" became popular throughout the capital.

Children prefer ice cream, while the ladies of leisure prefer brightly colored fruit juices.

In this hot summer, this unusual, cool treat quickly attracted many people to stop and admire it.

"Icy and refreshing smoothies are only 20 yuan a serving, and various freshly squeezed juices are also only 20 yuan a serving. Don't miss it if you pass by."

Basically everyone who passes by buys a copy, because initially everyone was curious about this strange sound.

But as everyone learned that the black lump could record people's voices and then play them on a loop, their initial curiosity turned into acceptance.

20 coins isn't cheap, but when passersby see the icy shaved ice emitting a chill, and feel the heat on their bodies, many can't resist taking out their money to buy one and try it.

Especially when you see such a big bowl, you don't feel that it's outrageously expensive. Some ordinary people can't afford to eat it themselves, but they will buy one for their children.

During this period, all employees received bonuses. "Mei Fang's mother, your Da Zhuang's mother is really capable. I heard that she works with the young boss selling those things called shaved ice at the shop, and she gets a bonus of twenty or thirty coins every day."

Now they all know what a bonus is; it's basically money awarded for good work.

But the young boss said it was called a bonus, not a reward, and that everyone deserved it for their good performance.

I don't know why, but the words that come out of the boss's mouth always sound nice.

"If we hadn't run into the young master, we would have been truly blessed."

"Sigh, who can argue with that? It's a pity my daughter-in-law wasn't chosen, otherwise she could have earned just as much more money."

Although there was a hint of regret in her tone, she was still happy, since all three of her sons worked in the workshop.

That's a considerable amount of money coming in every month, even though we're currently renting a house from a small landlord.

But it's only a few dozen coins a month. The young master also said that everyone can buy the house in the future.

With his three sons working for Xiao Dong's family, their monthly earnings would soon be enough to buy a house.

An elderly woman nearby, munching on peanuts, chimed in, "I've heard that's true. These women earn more than the men in the workshop."

Upon hearing this, one of the old men immediately objected, saying, "You can't say that."

This workshop pays two taels of silver a month! You can't find that price anywhere else in the entire capital.

The boss only gave him more because he worked long hours at the store.

"You guys! Don't be jealous, and don't say anything carelessly. If the young boss hears you and takes it to heart, it won't be good."

The woman who had spoken earlier immediately became displeased. "Uncle Ma, you're always thinking nonsense. Is that what we meant? It was just casual conversation, how did it get twisted in your mouth?"

The other young wives chimed in.

Although Old Man Su was far away, he was happy to hear their words.

This area has now developed into a village, which Su Muyao named Peach Blossom Village a few days ago.

They said they wanted to turn this place into a paradise, a fairyland.

The small shop over there no longer needs anyone from the Su family. Everyone picks up the job quickly, and having spent so much time together, they understand each person's character.

So I feel quite comfortable entrusting the store to those people for management.

Su Muyao, on the other hand, stayed at home in leisure, basically eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating.

A little bit of fat had grown around her belly.

"Eat your food obediently."

When Su Muyao heard the old lady calling her to eat, she got up from the sofa.

Lunch was simple today, as my older brother is studying at school.

Su Laosan was busy outside, so only Su Laotou, Su Laotai, and Taoxiu lived at home.

There were four people around the table, including Su Muyao.

As soon as I sat down, I saw stir-fried sweet potato leaves, stir-fried pork belly, and a large bowl of braised chicken with potatoes on the table—it was an incredibly lavish spread.

Su Muyao looked at the large bowls of food on the table and took out some pretty bowls and plates from her spatial storage.

However, Grandma Su rarely used them; she only changed into them when guests came to visit.

Grandma Su put a big chicken leg on Su Muyao's plate, "My dear, eat Tao Xiu, you eat too."

"Mom, you should eat too."

"Eat everything, eat everything."

Su Muyao picked at the rice in her bowl and nodded.

They were living very comfortably, but Taoliu Village was facing a problem.

...

It's already afternoon, and everyone is basically out in the fields weeding.

Since Su Muyao left, the villagers' lives have returned to peace.

Some elderly women, whenever they look at the Su family's door, always hope that the chubby little baby will walk out of that door.

A while ago, we also received letters from other members of the Su family. The letters said that everything was fine on their end and that they had even done bigger business.

Su Lao Da and Su Lao Er were both very happy, but Qin Meijuan was not very comfortable.

In addition, Grandma Su had never taken care of her child for even a single day, and there was no one at home when she gave birth.

If my shouts hadn't alerted the neighbors, it might have been a double tragedy...?^?

The third son's family moved all the way to the capital just because their daughter wanted to go.

It was one thing for Su Laosan and his wife to move there, but the old man and woman also went with them, completely disregarding the other two households and so many children in the family.

Qin Meijuan never considered that the money her family had specifically left for their two households was all earned by Su Muyao through business.

When Qin Meijuan saw the letter, she was so angry that she almost fell ill.

Ever since that argument with Boss Su, the two of them have been sleeping in separate rooms for a long time.

Qin Meijuan wanted Su Laoda to send a letter to Su Laotou, and Su Laotai told them to spend more money.

Su Laoda was an honest and simple man, and he believed that the money belonged to his third brother.

The third brother also has to support the elderly couple in their old age, and in addition, the family workshop pays him such a high monthly salary.

I have no face to talk about this, and I feel more and more that I'm being unreasonable.

Suddenly, a series of "thump! thump! thump!" sounds came from the village entrance.

The villagers of Taoliu Village rushed out to see what was happening, and saw the village head leading two constables into the village, banging a gong.

Everyone craned their necks to look outside, after all, these yamen runners didn't come to the village often, and they wondered what important matter had occurred this time.

Soon a crowd gathered around.
