Chapter 883 Lu Sanzhu's Strategic Retreat
Shu Yu smiled and said, "My father wants to open his own carpentry shop, but this can be done slowly. He needs to finish repairing the mansion that the Emperor bestowed upon him before he can start making any plans."
Since the family had a highly skilled and experienced carpenter, the repairs of the house could only be left to his father.
However, the craftsman Zheng who renovated the shop last time was also quite skilled, and Shu Yu wanted her father to call him over as well, so that with more people, the process would be faster and they could move in sooner.
"Brother Da Niu, after the shop is transferred to my sister, I'm thinking of having you help grow sunflowers. You're experienced and reliable, so you're really the only one who can handle this."
Da Niu was taken aback, not expecting that Shu Yu would bring up the matter before he had even mentioned it.
He was naturally pleased. "I knew it. You really care about those sunflowers and you'll definitely plant them on a large scale. Don't worry, I'm a novice at being a manager, but I can handle farming."
"That's right, I'm counting on this to make my fortune."
Da Niu laughed heartily, and everyone who was talking nearby turned to look at him.
It's really rare to see Da Niu so excited.
It seems he's telling Shuyu some good news.
Lu Sanzhu's eyes darted around, and he immediately came over, asking hurriedly, "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Let me hear it too."
Shu Yu remained silent and did not answer him. Instead, she continued to talk to Da Niu, "After we return to the county town, I plan to buy a manor, along with the land. I just don't know how many acres of land it will be. I'm not very familiar with Jiangyuan County, so you'll have to go and take a look."
Before Da Niu could even speak, Lu Sanzhu's eyes lit up. "Ayu, you want to buy the estate? You, you have that much money!!"
Shu Yu's lips twitched. "You forgot? The Emperor's decree also says that he will reward you with two hundred taels of gold."
"Oh, right, right, I almost forgot, that's two hundred taels of gold!" I'm so envious, my mouth is practically watering.
With so much money, buying estates and land is no problem at all.
“Ayu, if you want to buy a property, come to me. I definitely know more than Da Niu.”
Shu Yu turned her head to look at him, "You?"
“That’s right. Da Niu spends all his time in the clothing shop. He’s clumsy with words and doesn’t meet many people. I’m different. The people I know in the peach orchard are from all over the country. I’m very well-informed. I’ll ask around for you and find you a cheap and good estate.”
Da Niu nodded in agreement; in this respect, he was indeed inferior to his third uncle.
"Let Uncle San give it a try, and I'll also take a look."
"Alright, then thank you very much, Uncle San."
Lu Sanzhu waved his hand contentedly, "These are all small matters. But Ayu, when you ask people for information, you always have to entertain them and treat them to drinks. I... don't worry, I've already raised my wages, so I'll pay for it myself. After all, Ayu, you've taken care of us a lot."
Well done, Uncle San, you've really made something of yourself. You even know how to use retreat as a tactic to advance?
"Then you pay."
Lu Sanzhu, "..." He was just saying it.
Da Niu understood what he meant, but he suppressed a laugh and changed the subject, saying, "But we need to hurry. Didn't you say that sunflowers are best planted in the spring? If we wait any longer, we might miss the best time."
"It should take no more than half a month, I'll do it as soon as possible."
As the group talked, they arrived at Lu Dasong's house.
