Chapter 51 Qiao Xuan is funny behind the scenes
Qiao Xuan was very happy to give the money, paying it on a daily basis, not a penny less.
No matter what, holding the heavy copper coins in one's hand is a very happy thing. After receiving the wages, everyone is more energetic.
Niu came over in the evening with her grandson in her arms and made a few sarcastic remarks, saying that Qiao Xuan, the daughter of a wealthy family, was too stupid to buy a piece of wasteland as a treasure and waste money.
The eldest family followed her in making trouble and even prepared the land for her.
Qiao Xuan immediately said, "I wonder if my second and fourth cousins are free? How about coming over to help me tomorrow? Second aunt, we are a family, we should help each other!"
Without thinking, Niu glared and said hurriedly: "They are not free, don't call them!"
After saying this, he quickly ran away with his grandson in his arms.
He was afraid that he would run too slowly and be caught by Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan was amused behind her back.
Today's dinner is a pheasant and a rabbit.
Cut the rabbit meat into cubes and put it into a pan with oil. Then stir-fry it with peeled garlic, fried dried chili peppers and shredded ginger to make dry-fried rabbit cubes.
The pheasant dish is very light. The chopped chicken pieces are placed in a bowl and steamed. The soup is clear, tender and sweet.
Add two random vegetarian dishes to make it just the right mix of meat and vegetables.
Everyone worked very hard today, so the food tasted especially delicious! They had a great appetite and praised the food endlessly.
It is said that we used to cook wild game such as pheasants and rabbits at home from time to time, but they never tasted like this! My fifth brother's wife is indeed born differently, she is smart!
Uncle Shao didn't say anything, just thinking that he had sent a lot to the second and third wives yesterday.
During the day today, Fang cleaned all the pheasants and rabbits, put them in jars and pickled them with salt. They can be eaten for ten days or half a month without going bad.
Qiao Xuan thought that maybe next time she could take Shao Xiaoqi to the county town to sell it.
But that requires someone familiar with it.
Otherwise, it won’t sell well and will easily be targeted by hooligans.
The menu of a restaurant is usually fixed. Unless you have a fixed source of goods, most people will not accept you if you bring a few pheasants or rabbits from time to time.
You can slowly find out which wealthy families have a good reputation, and ask them when you get the prey. Maybe they will want to have a bite to eat.
It took a few people a day and a half to clean up the ground of the thirteen acres of land. It took another day and a half to hire two more masons to build walls on all four sides.
Qiao Xuan was determined not to let anyone spy on her, so when she built the wall, she really built a wall using bricks, not a fence.
The wall was also built very high, nearly three meters.
Then, he opened two doors on the wall close to his yard, installed them, and locked them. That was it.
After taking care of the "wasteland", Qiao Xuan also handed over the sixty acres at the entrance of the village to Shao Dalang and others.
Just clear away the weeds, bushes and trees.
Shao Dalang and others naturally agreed without hesitation.
Xu was also happy, and silently calculated in her heart that it would take several people at least four days to work on sixty acres, which would be eighty cents. The couple could earn two eighty cents each, and they would hand in half, and still have half left.
Qiao Xuan was very satisfied and felt a great sense of accomplishment, but the whole village was in an uproar.
"The fifth daughter-in-law of Shao Dakun actually built a wall with blue bricks to enclose the wasteland! Enclosed it! Oh my god, how much silver would that cost? Even a little more would be enough to build a blue brick house!"
"What a spendthrift woman! What a spendthrift woman!"
I've started working and I'm focused. I'm also working hard to update and ask for votes.
