"When I went to town to buy something before, the recommendation was very good. I saw that the lady could use it, so I bought it."
"You used your own money, right? I didn't see it in the account. It's stupid of you to spend the money your sister gave you like this. Go to the account and get the money yourself. Next time you go to town, buy two more. By the way, why don't you make some charcoal at home?" The charcoal fire had just started.
"Miss, you bought all good charcoal. It would be a waste if you gave it to me." Xiaohua brought her a pair of thick boots.
"What's the point of wasting? I tell you, I started out burning charcoal, and I sold charcoal for 60 coins a pound. If no one bought it, I don't know where I'd be in the countryside."
Xiaohua looked at her with eyes wide open in admiration, "Miss, can you also make charcoal?" The young lady really knew everything.
"If you're worried about wasting money, I'll teach you how to build a small charcoal kiln next time. Then you can buy the wood and burn it yourself. You won't feel it's a waste no matter how much you use."
“But wood isn’t cheap either.”
If wood is too expensive, then she has no other choice. "Why are you so stingy with yourself at such a young age? Burning charcoal doesn't cost much. I can still afford it with the little money I have now."
Xiaohua smiled, "Miss, did your trip to the walled village go smoothly today?"
"It went smoothly, huh? I've told them about hiring someone. Since they've said so, let's go visit the three villages tomorrow. It's always a good idea to make preparations early. By the way, how much cotton do we have left?"
"We haven't used much cotton. We bought mattresses when we needed them urgently. We still have about 80 pounds of cotton. Miss, please make something."
"I went to the village today and saw how pitiful the children were. I wanted to make sure they didn't show up in the village behind me. It would make me feel bad if I saw them. Didn't you see that they weren't wearing enough clothes in such cold weather and their faces were frozen purple?"
"Miss, you are kind-hearted. Although our winters were not as cold as here before, we still wore thin clothes. We have seen it so much that we are used to it. They are also used to being afraid."
"Alas, our abilities are still too limited." The more she saw, the more pity she felt for him. However, the world was so big that even the king could do nothing to her.
Chunxiao felt that since she arrived in Fengyue County, she could not change her habit of staying in bed in the morning, especially in her own warm bed. Fortunately, everything was handed over and she didn't have to follow through personally, and no one was in charge of her. Xiaohua naturally wouldn't care about her either, letting her sleep as long as she wanted. She woke up at dawn and didn't put on her coat until the sun was high in the sky.
Xiaohua had been working in the garden since early in the morning. Seeing her get up, she hurried to the kitchen to get her some water. "Miss, can I make you some porridge with yesterday's bone broth for lunch?"
Chunxiao looked around the yard. It was clean and the horses were eating grass. "Whatever you cook, I'll eat it. I'm not picky."
Counting the days, it would take about 20 days for the people from the village to arrive. "When will the well digger that the chief clerk mentioned last time arrive?"
"He said he would come after the New Year, but now it's cold and we can't play."
"Yes, I forgot." She sighed. There was nothing she could do. Fortunately, there were a few wells to hold on to. When people arrived, she would go to the county town to buy some cows.
After lunch, Xiaohua drove her to the nearest Guanshan Village.
The village head of Guanshan Village received her. When he heard that she was looking for a permanent worker for the New Year, his attitude became as enthusiastic as that of a village head. He promised to find a qualified person for her. He also asked Chunxiao about her requirements for the job.
Next, Chunxiao went to Mojia Village and Tianyi Village. When they heard about the hiring, they were all equally surprised. Chunxiao felt a great sense of satisfaction from this. She asked the village head to go to Guanshang Village to find the manager after the New Year, and the manager would make arrangements for them.
Now, everything was basically arranged, but she couldn't arrange other things until the person arrived. She took Xiaohua to the town to buy some paper and pen, and started staying at home to write the training booklet.
There are several booklets. One is about the theoretical points and practical precautions of cotton planting, including the process from soaking seeds to planting to maturity, so she wrote down all the details she could think of, including the preparation of foliar fertilizer and insect control.
One was a detailed labor booklet for personnel management and allocation, and the other was a ledger with illustrated tables for future management. She copied several copies whenever she had free time, so that each farm could use them in the future.
At the end of November, Zhuangzi's large army finally arrived. Meiman rented a convoy and asked Chun Shijiu to lead the team to bring the seeds and cotton.
This time he really brought 20 people, including people from Yard 1 and Yard 2. Some people got out of the car, rubbing their hands and calling out "boss."
"Have you brought your thick coats? If they are not enough, make some quickly. Did you bring some cloth?"
"I brought it. I went back and told them it was cold here, so the manager told me to bring 20 bolts of cloth because he was afraid it wouldn't be enough. The cloth and cotton are in the cart at the back." Nineteen directed everyone, "Hurry up and move everything to the yard. We're going back with the cart."
Everyone started to unload their things quickly, and Xiaohua also came to help.
Chunxiao watched them carry the bags one by one into the yard and asked, "What's in that jar?"
"This is the pickled vegetable the steward made for you. She said you had finished your pickled bamboo shoots, so she asked me to bring this to you."
Chun Xiao smiled, "She's the only one who cares about these little things."
After all the things were unloaded, Nineteen paid the balance and the carriage left. Nineteen shook his head in pain, "The rent is really expensive." He looked at Chunxiao again, "Boss, how should we arrange this?" He pointed at the people and things.
"I, I'll take you to choose a place to stay first." Xiaohua was still carrying things in her hands. "Put all these things in the warehouse first."
