An'an bowed her head and said, "Madam, this servant is foolish and only knows a few words."
An'an never dreamed that one day she would be able to learn to read and write. Although Master Xie was a teacher of young ladies, he would also give her some pointers.
She is still young, but she can already recognize more than a hundred characters, which is better than most of the farmers in Nanning.
"Take your time. No matter what, you must learn all the characters."
"Yes, Madam, I understand."
Zhao Ruyun also came over and placed the back of her hand on Su Luo's forehead: "It's good, Luo Luo, you're alright. If I hadn't pressured Shi Shuang, he wouldn't have told me you were sick."
Su Luo took Zhao Ruyun's hand away and said gently, "Mother-in-law, I just caught a cold, and Dr. Du is taking care of me at Ji'an Hall, so you don't need to worry."
Zhao Ruyun still had a furrowed brow. She stood up and moved closer to Zhao Ruyun.
"Grandma, you should relax your brow. People who frown all the time age very quickly."
At her advanced age, Zhao Ruyun no longer cared about such things.
"Luo Luo, don't tease me. You need to take good care of yourself and not get sick again, okay?"
"Yes! I understand, Mother!"
Su Luo told Yi Huan to go back to class first, and then she pulled Zhao Ruyun along as they walked and talked.
"Grandma, how much of the cotton seeds you collected last year are still left?"
“There’s still plenty left. Don’t we have no more land to cultivate?”
Su Luo smiled and took out the land deed for Qingjiang Village from her spatial storage.
"Grandma, look, this is the new estate I bought, called Qingjiang Estate. It's right next to our Shuiqing Estate. We missed the rice planting season this year, but we can still grow cotton."
There was no cotton in the entire Nanning Kingdom, so she planted all eighty mu of cotton, plus another ten mu in Shuiqingzhuang.
Whether she uses it to make clothes or something else in the future, she can earn a lot of money.
"If we grow so much cotton, can we make a lot of cotton quilts and cotton clothes?"
Zhao Ruyun was happy just thinking about it. She had experienced the benefits of cotton quilts; they were warm and comfortable to sleep in, and there was no odor.
It would be nice to make cotton clothes. Luo Luo also said that cotton can be made into cloth. She hasn't tried it yet, but if you grow a lot of it...
When she's bored at home, she can learn to weave.
“Mother-in-law, once the cotton is planted, you can do whatever you want.”
Zhao Ruyun smiled broadly and led Su Luo to the storage room to show her the cotton seeds she had been storing.
"Luo Luo, look, it's all here. I don't know if this is enough to finish planting in Qingjiang Village."
There were eleven large sacks left, plus some more in her storage space, which was more than enough.
“That’s enough. Tomorrow I’ll tell Butler Shi to take the seeds and plant them.”
The fields in Qingjiang Village that were washed away by the river are being repaired these days. They are also removing the stones and starting to plow the areas that were not plowed before.
Butler Shi has been busy with this matter these past few days, and it's noon now, but he still hasn't had time to go home.
After lunch, Su Luo went to the study, intending to take care of the things that had happened in the past few days.
Li Niu suddenly came over and stood somewhat embarrassed at the entrance of the Chen residence, looking hesitant and not daring to come in.
Su Luo had instructed Su Zuo and Su You on who in the village could come in directly and who needed to be notified beforehand.
They had no right to interfere with whether Li Niu wanted to enter or not.
After hesitating for a long time, Li Niu finally stepped in.
He said to Su You at the door, "I'm looking for Yan Chuan's mother. I heard she's back, and I have something I want to tell her. Could you please take me to see her?"
Su You nodded and walked ahead, leading Li Niu to the study.
"Ms. Yanchuan!"
Hearing a sound at the door, Su Luo looked up and saw Li Niu.
"Uncle Li, come in and sit down."
Put down the account book in front of him and ask Su You to pour some tea.
Li Niu looked embarrassed and a little restrained.
"Uncle Li, how are Aunt Li and Xiao Fugui doing lately?"
"They are all good, it's just that..."
Seeing that he seemed hesitant to speak, Su Luo could only wait for him to speak.
"Yan Chuan's mother, I'd like to talk to you about the tofu-making situation." After thinking for a moment, Li Niu continued.
“Yan Chuan’s mother, I may not be able to make tofu for a while, or even for the whole year, or I may only be able to make a small amount.”
If Fu Man Lou needs it, they might have to find someone else to make it first. The tofu recipe was originally yours, so it's up to you to decide who to have it made.
Li Niu felt a little embarrassed. Su Luo had helped him with her tofu recipe, but now he wanted to stop paying for Fu Man Lou's meals.
"Uncle Li, is something bothering you?"
Li Niu quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, no... there's nothing difficult about it. In the past two months, with the dividends from the soy sauce factory, I've had a little money on hand."
I was thinking that our house is too dilapidated, and I wanted Fugui and your Aunt Li to live in a better place.
So they found someone to prepare to build a new courtyard, and the soy sauce factory also had some business to entertain.
So I probably won't be able to make tofu for the next year, but I can continue next year after my house is finished.
If Su Luo is the richest person in Changping Village, then Li Niu is the second richest, even the village chief is not as rich as him.
Su Luo wasn't surprised at all that he wanted to build a new house.
"That's a good thing. Uncle Li, now that you have Xiao Fugui, you should let them live in a better place."
Fumanlou has been opening branches, and Li Niu, who is making tofu by himself, is becoming increasingly stressed.
It's inevitable that we'll need to hire more people to do it.
"Yes, so Yan Chuan's mother, this tofu recipe is yours. You can decide who takes over. I believe no one can refuse to make tofu, such a profitable business."
“Okay, I’ll find someone to learn from you in the next couple of days.”
"Okay, I'll head back now."
Tofu is only available at Fumanlou Restaurant in the entire Yongle County, making it a unique dish.
Sales have been consistently good, so Su Luo needs to find someone to take over Li Niu's job as soon as possible.
That night, Su Luo told Chunhua and Qiuyue to go downstairs, and only when it was late at night and no one was around did she enter the space.
Aside from planting plants, which she had to do herself, she could find anything in the space simply by thinking about its location.
She gathered up all the cotton seeds she had left behind in the entire space.
It weighs about 20 kilograms. Once collected, it will be taken out.
After leaving the space and finding no one around, he carried two large bags of cotton seeds and ran towards the storage room.
Put the cotton seeds in the space together with those left behind by Zhao Ruyun.
The cotton seeds taken from the space can be planted in any way, and the survival rate will reach 100%.
He patted his shoulder and hand, took a deep breath, and said, "Eighty acres of land are more than enough to cultivate now."
After closing the storage room door, Su Luo saw the bodyguards that Nangong Qing had left for him on the eaves.
She can do whatever she wants in her own home, and even if the guards see her, they won't say anything, so Su Luo trusts them completely.
