Ever since Ah Bing and his companions returned from their work at the General's Mansion, everyone knew that Tian An was the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion. Knowing they were coming, they had been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time.
They arrived in four carriages. Zhao Yiming, Xiaokang, Xiaoqi, and two servants rode in the front in one carriage. Tian An, several aunts, sisters-in-law, and Deng Xue followed in another. The remaining two carriages, filled with gifts and fabrics, were at the rear.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, Tian An found that the carriage had slowed down. She lifted the curtain and saw that everyone was standing on the roadside to greet them.
Seeing her draw aside the curtains, several old ladies whose patients she had helped treat before came to the side of the carriage.
"Miss, you have worked hard on the journey."
Seeing this, Tian An hurriedly asked Chen Feng to stop the carriage and prepared to get off.
The old ladies hurriedly tried to stop her, "Miss, you can't do that! It's cold and the roads are slippery outside, please don't come down."
Tian Anke couldn't let the old man follow the carriage, so as soon as the carriage stopped, he jumped down without even needing Chen Feng to pedal.
The road was indeed slippery in the snow. When she jumped down, she accidentally stumbled and was about to fall flat on her face. Fortunately, a pair of big hands supported her in time.
Zhao Yiming looked helpless: "Can't you slow down a bit? At least wait for Chen Feng to get the pedals out!"
Tian An smiled awkwardly and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Yiming said unhappily, "What do you think?"
Their carriage was in front. As soon as he heard Tian An shout "stop", he guessed what she was going to do, so he also stopped the carriage. Before the carriage stopped, he jumped out and walked towards this side.
Seeing that Tian An was about to fall, he couldn't help but admire his own foresight. This guy was such a worry.
After the two got off, Tian An let the carriage continue moving, and they accompanied everyone on foot.
The old ladies who had just come forward and asked with concern: "Miss, are you okay? Did you hurt your feet?"
Tian An waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I just slipped a little when I was in a hurry to get down."
He also reminded the elderly ladies, "The road is slippery, you have to be careful too!"
Then she chatted with everyone while walking, "Grandma, is your rheumatism better?"
The old lady said cheerfully, "Thanks to the foot bath medicine that the young lady prescribed for me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand here and talk to you."
"I'm glad the medicine pack worked. It's getting cold, so please keep warm and don't catch a cold." He then looked at the others and said, "And you too. If you get sick, have Uncle Yonghui send me a message and I'll bring you some medicine!"
An old man said, "Hey! This is not good! It's not good to let the young lady spend money all the time. We just need to be more careful in our daily life."
A middle-aged man also said, "The general has always taken good care of us. How can we let you and your daughter support us for nothing?"
After walking for a while, Tian An was a little out of breath, so he simply stopped to rest for a while and talk to everyone before continuing on his way.
"How can it be raised in vain? Next year we have to plant a lot of land on the farm, and we will have to rely on everyone to take care of the barren hills."
Tian An suddenly thought that there seemed to be a barren mountain behind her father's farm, so she asked, "Is there also a barren mountain behind my father's farm?"
Everyone thought about it and said, "It seems there is one."
"Oh! I remember now. It's connected to the barren mountain behind the young lady's farm!"
Thinking about how Tian An had asked them to help reclaim the barren hills before, someone asked, "Miss, do you want to reclaim the barren hills as well?"
Tian An nodded. "What crops can be grown on that barren mountain? If not, we can reclaim it and plant something. We can't waste the land."
Someone said, "We haven't planted anything on that mountain, but there are a lot of wild flowers growing on it. Don't you think they are quite beautiful when they bloom?"
Wildflowers? Tian An suddenly thought of the perfume she had taken out before. If she made it and sold it, it would definitely be very popular. Besides, perfume is a luxury item and can be sold at a high price.
She would plant medicinal herbs and fruit trees on her barren hill, or plant flowers on her father's hill. Flowers can be used not only to make perfumes, but also skin care products and cakes. They have a wide range of uses.
Tian An decided to plant flowers. She wanted to plant flowers all over the mountain.
"What kind of flowers are there on the mountain?" Tian An thought about the flowers already on the mountain. If there were any that could be used, he would keep them. For the rest, he would have to find seeds or seedlings.
Everyone thought for a moment and said, "It seems there are rape flowers, wild chrysanthemums and the like."
Tian An: "..."Okay! My fantasy is shattered. It turns out that bargains are not that easy to come by.
Seeing Tian An's disappointed expression, Ah Bing couldn't help but say, "Miss, you don't want to plant flowers on the mountain, do you?"
Tian An's eyes lit up, "You can plant?"
The soldier shook his head. "No, but Uncle Li can. He used to be a gardener in a wealthy family. Later, he made a mistake and his legs were broken and thrown into the street. The general passed by and took him in."
Before Tian An could ask, Uncle Li limped out of the crowd with a limp.
"My humble servant greets you, young lady. May I ask what kind of flowers you would like to plant?"
Tian An thought for a moment and said, "We need fragrant flowers for all seasons, and roses are a must."
Uncle Li considered the soil characteristics of the barren mountain and thought carefully for a long time before saying, "No problem. As long as Miss trusts me, I promise to show her the mountains full of gorgeous flowers."
After hearing Uncle Li's assurance, Tian An felt that his perfume business was stable.
"Can Uncle Li help me with the flower seedlings and seeds?" Tian An thought. If not, he would go to Peng Zhang. He would definitely have a way.
But Uncle Li nodded and said, "When I was working, I knew a lot of flower farmers."
Well, then there's no need for Peng's account. "I'll leave that kind of flower matter entirely to Uncle Li. If you need any manpower or money, go to Uncle Yonghui or Wang Hui, they'll arrange it."
Uncle Li bowed and said, "I am honored to have fulfilled my mission."
Seeing that the matter was settled, Ah Bing took the initiative to accept the order and said, "Then I will take people to open up the barren mountain tomorrow."
"Don't be so anxious, at least we can wait until the New Year is over."
After resting enough, Tian An took Zhao Yiming and started walking again. When they reached the fork between the two villages, he invited them to his village.
"We've brought some New Year gifts and cotton cloth for everyone. Come with me and get them! We'll be slaughtering a pig soon, so let's eat the pig-slaughtering dinner first, get the meat and other things, and then go back!"
Hearing that Tian An had brought something for them, everyone was surprised and delighted. Some were flattered and said, "Miss, this is too expensive. How can we accept this!"
Tian An waved her hand. "It's the New Year! Being happy is the most important thing. Since you call me Miss, then you should listen to me. Let's go quickly! It's time to start slaughtering the pig."
As soon as Tian An finished speaking, he heard a pig's scream of "Ao..." from the farm, resounding through the sky.
