Chapter 231: Trust the people you employ, don’t employ the people you doubt
After Xiao Chengjin helped Jiang Ruo back to the room, he gently placed her on the bed.
He raised his hand to brush away the loose hair on Jiang Ruo's cheek and whispered, "Ruoruo, lie down for a while. I'll call Dongxue to give you a bath."
Jiang Ruo looked at Xiao Chengjin with a smile, put her arms around his neck, pulled him down, and gently kissed the corner of his lips.
She exhaled softly and said, "We are husband and wife, why should I ask Dongxue to bathe me..."
At this moment, Xiao Chengjin was extremely nervous. He swallowed hard and forced himself to look away...
"Ruoruo, I..." Although I really wanted to, I didn't dare.
"You're shy." Jiang Ruo smiled innocently and held Xiao Chengjin in her arms.
As their breaths intertwined, Xiao Chengjin felt a little confused and infatuated. He kissed the corner of her lips lightly, "Ruoruo..." There was a hint of restraint in his hoarse voice.
Jiang Ruo seemed to have drunk a little too much, but his mind was clear.
She secretly thought: Hey, let me test it out tonight and see what this bastard is afraid of.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Chengjin's mind: Stay away from Ruoruo...
Xiao Chengjin suddenly shuddered.
Alas, I almost made a mistake.
He got up in a panic and sat on the edge of the bed, gasping for breath...
Jiang Ruo: "..."
Oh, look how scared the dog man is.
And then scare the body.
She opened her eyes a little and looked at Xiao Chengjin's back, and a plan came to her mind.
The next moment, Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin appeared on the wedding bed in the space.
The sudden change of scene startled Xiao Chengjin.
He looked at the familiar big bed, then at Jiang Ruo lying on the bed, his handsome face flushed slightly, "Ruo Ruo, where is this..."
"This is the wedding bed we used when we got married. I have kept it here!" Jiang Ruo slowly got up from the bed and pinched his cheek.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengjin's handsome face turned even redder.
He subconsciously leaned back and glanced at Jiang Ruo with a vague look.
At this moment, Xiao Chengjin had already forgotten that Jiang Ruo was drunk.
In his mind, he pictured the scene of marrying Jiang Ruo in the future...
Jiang Ruo looked at the distracted Xiao Chengjin and asked fiercely, "Tell me, am I not charming enough, or do you have...problems?"
"Or, what are you afraid of?"
Xiao Chengjin opened his mouth in shock at Jiang Ruo's sudden words.
Ruoruo means...?
Hey hey! Here's my chance to complain.
Xiao Chengjin simply ignored the first question, looking aggrieved and complaining.
"Ruoruo, I'm afraid of my father-in-law."
"He said we can't have children too soon and told me to be a good man, otherwise he would prescribe me...medicine."
Jiang Ruo listened to Xiao Chengjin's explanation and laughed out loud, "Hahaha..."
"Okay, I understand what I mean."
"Hey! The old man was just kidding you."
Xiao Chengjin looked at the pair of clear eyes in front of him and smiled.
It turned out that Ruoruo was sober.
He covered his lips and coughed lightly, then said helplessly, "Ruoruo, it's getting late, let's go to bed early."
After the two of them left the space, Jiang Ruo hummed a little tune and went to the bathroom.
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Jiang Ruo snuggled in Xiao Chengjin's arms and fell asleep.
"good evening!"
"Good night, Ruoruo." Xiao Chengjin listened to the steady breathing and closed his eyes.
......
In the following days, everyone was busy working on the farm.
Several blacksmiths were hired to make the tools according to the drawings and dimensions in the shortest possible time.
Manager Lin even bought more than a dozen cows and made more than a dozen carts.
The empty village changed dramatically.
During this period, Jiang Ruo irrigated the fertile fields with spiritual spring water overnight.
When several village heads heard from Chen that Jiang Ruo was hiring people, he specifically selected the more capable and reliable laborers in the village.
At this moment, Chen Lizheng and the other village heads and strong laborers were all gathered in the village.
"Mrs. Xiao, if they dare to act cunningly, just chase them away."
After Chen Lizheng finished speaking, several other Lizhengs also echoed him.
Jiang Ruo thought, trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them.
"I believe you are capable of doing farm work in the fields."
She looked at the hundred or so strong laborers and said loudly, "I promise you all, I will never owe you a penny."
"We'll pay you every seven days until the farm work is done."
The strong laborers all said: "We trust the boss."
"good!"
Led by Steward Lin and Ji Yunce, thunderous applause broke out at the scene.
"Master, just leave this to me." Butler Lin said and nodded to Xiao Chengjin.
Xiao Chengjin spoke at the right time: "Ruoruo, leave this to Uncle Lin and Uncle Ji, let's go back and rest for a while."
Jiang Ruo smiled and said, "Uncle Ji, Uncle Lin, thank you for your hard work."
After the two men left, Butler Lin began to arrange the work area for the strong men.
They divided the land according to Jiang Ruo's method, dividing them into ten teams, each team had 100 acres of land, and each team had a team leader in charge of his own team.
Everyone thought this was a good idea and no one objected.
Just for the wages alone, these strong laborers cherish this job very much, not to mention that they are also provided with lunch.
In addition to Jiang Ruo's opening of a low-priced grain store, they felt that they would be letting their boss down if they didn't work hard.
The most important thing is that if growing wheat really works, they can learn from the method next year.
Therefore, when Butler Lin assigned tasks, they listened very carefully.
The women who were cooking looked at the dozens of sacks of rice, wheat, fresh potatoes and radishes in the kitchen and glanced at each other secretly.
Is this food for those who work?
Aunt Liu looked at their incredulous expressions and said with a smile, "My master said that we will have enough food."
"Wait a minute, let's fry these pork shanks first."
"We understand."
The women said: Alas, Madam Xiao is paying for both money and food, won’t she lose money?
There was a bustling bustle of people coming and going in and out of the village.
Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin had nothing to do, so they sat in the yard drinking tea and eating melon seeds.
The melon seeds are spiced and fried by Jiang Ruo himself.
Xiao Chengjin imitated Jiang Ruo and cracked melon seeds.
After tasting it, he praised: "Ruoruo, your cooking skills are quite good."
Jiang Ruo chuckled when he heard that.
"Hehe! As a foodie, you have to be good at what you eat."
"Next time, make it caramel flavored."
"By the way, when I'm done with this busy period, I'll send some to the old man and my aunt."
After listening to this, Xiao Chengjin raised his eyebrows.
He said seriously: "Actually, our Xiaofeng can handle the delivery task by herself."
Jiang Ruo drank a cup of tea and said, "Oh, yes, I had forgotten about it."
"Let Xiaofeng do this, and bring them some medicinal herbs."
When Fan Qijun heard that Jiang Ruo was going to grow wheat, he immediately changed into casual clothes and took a carriage to the fertile fields.
Knowing that Jiang Ruo and the other man were at the farm, he directly ordered the driver to go to the farm.
Looking at the men working in the fields, Fan Qijun frowned.
It must cost a lot of money to hire this person, right?
No one was sent to the yamen to say hello, and the yamen runners could also do farm work.
Yamen runners: Thank you, sir!
