Chapter 314 Zhuangzi I
"By the way, did you get any water from the underground well?"
Su Yue thought of this problem and asked, there is a water shortage here, and the water used is drawn from the pond in the nearby village.
It's time-consuming and laborious.
Wuying nodded and said, "We have found a place to draw water in the village. Now there is only one well in each of the two villages. There is water, but it is not enough.
I am still searching to see if I can find a place to dig a well outside the village. If so, the princess will try to buy that place."
If you don't buy the land and dig a well on someone else's land or on public land, you will definitely run into trouble after the well is dug.
Su Yue nodded: "That's no problem. If you find the place where the well is dug, bring the information back and I will take care of it."
Not to mention a place to dig a well, she has the financial resources to buy the entire capital city.
Afterwards, Su Yue and Heiying went to see the sweet potato vines that were grafted. The grafted sweet potato vines had already survived and looked almost the same as they did outside. She was also very satisfied.
These sweet potatoes can be harvested next year.
At that time, let the emperor distribute the sweet potatoes to various counties and prepare for seedling cultivation.
"Did you hire or buy these people?"
After coming out from the viewing, Su Yue looked at the people working in the fields and asked, there were quite a few people working, about a hundred people.
Shadow: "Some of them were bought in, and some were hired from nearby villages. Please rest assured, Princess, every villager who comes to work here has signed a confidentiality agreement. They are not allowed to share anything they see here, nor are they allowed to learn from it, and they are not allowed to do it secretly outside."
Su Yue couldn't imagine that the black shadow had such a mind.
But she doesn't care if these are leaked. People outside can't build such a greenhouse, mainly because there is no film here.
And she never wanted to hide it at all. Such greenhouses will be promoted in the future, but the materials used to make them need to be changed.
The membrane in her space was only enough for her own use.
This thing cannot be regenerated, once it is used up it is gone.
She also doesn't plan to produce plastic here, as it looks simple but is difficult to make.
The worst thing is that it is not environmentally friendly. She doesn't want this planet to become the second apocalypse.
But Black Shadow had already kept it a secret, so she couldn't say anything more and just let him do as he pleased.
"Princess, would you like to have lunch here at noon? If so, I will go up the mountain to hunt."
When lunch was almost over, the shadow asked.
Su Yue thought about it and realized that it would take about half an hour to go back. She might as well eat here before going back. So she nodded and said, "Okay, let's eat here at noon."
Upon hearing that Su Yue wanted to eat here, the black shadow told the secret guard and then flew up the mountain.
Su Yue took the secret guards for a walk in the fields, and then returned to the house in the farm.
This is a quadrangle courtyard, the yard is quite large, with a stone dam in the middle, which is used for drying clothes.
There are five main rooms, five side rooms on each side, and a gatehouse. The rest of the house is surrounded by a wall.
Su Yue went in to take a look. She saw that people lived in the five main rooms, and the wing rooms on the left and right were all used as warehouses. The warehouses were not small, each of which was over a hundred square meters and could store a lot of food.
What is being stored now are materials used for greenhouses.
Not long after, Wuying came back with two pheasants and two rabbits. He threw them to the kitchen maid and asked her to cook, and told her to make sure they tasted good.
When the cook learned that it was the princess who had arrived, she prepared lunch with great care. It can be said that she used all her skills to make a table full of delicious dishes.
When the food was served, Su Yue could smell the fragrance all over the table. The cooking skills were quite good, she secretly praised in her heart.
"Princess, please come in." said the black shadow.
He, the secret guard, the cook, and two other servants from the farm stood aside and invited her to dinner.
Su Yue looked at the table full of dishes. She was the only one eating them. It was such a waste. What she hated most was waste.
So she waved her hand and said, "Come sit down and eat together. There's so much food, I can't finish it all by myself."
"No, no, no, you eat first. We'll eat after you're done."
The black shadow waved his hands quickly, saying, "What a joke! They are all slaves. Although he calls himself a subordinate, his indenture is with Murong Li. All the secret guards are actually the prince's slaves. He dare not sit at the table with his master to eat, and their master is the princess."
Oh my god, that would kill you.
Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to do it.
Su Yue sighed. Sometimes she really wasn't used to the hierarchy here.
After thinking for a moment, she brought out two dishes, placed them in front of her, and said, "These two dishes are for me. You guys can eat the others. Eat them quickly. They won't taste good if they get cold."
The black shadow glanced at the secret guard, who knew Su Yue's personality well. The two looked at each other and nodded, then called on the cook and the other two servants to quickly take their bowls to eat. They did not sit down to eat, but ate while standing. Only Su Yue sat at the table to eat alone.
Su Yue no longer insisted. Being able to do this was a great improvement for them.
Su Yue thought the food cooked by the cook was delicious. She was thinking about whether she should bring the cook back to the palace.
She was full after the meal, so she drank a glass of spiritual spring water, called the black shadow over, and asked him to follow her to help digest the food.
She asked, "Where did you get that cook? The food she cooks tastes great."
"The princess wants to take her back?"
"Are you willing to give it up?"
"If you're reluctant to part with her, just take her with you when you leave. I'll go buy you another one."
This cook was actually bought casually from a dental shop. He didn't know that the cook's cooking skills were so good. If the cook's lunch was not delicious, he would be embarrassed to let Su Yue eat here.
"Then I'll take it away. Isn't there anyone cooking here?"
"Don't worry, Princess. We have a cook. I bought extra servants when I hired them. There's a row of simple houses built behind the farm for the servants to stay in temporarily. There's a cook there. It's okay for us to go there and have a few meals."
Su Yue then said, "Okay, when I go back later, I'll bring the cook back with me."
There are cooks and Caixia in the palace, but the food they make is not as good as that made by this cook.
And she had another plan. The cook looked young, only in her thirties.
Her restaurant will open next year. This cook is so good at cooking, so she can be the head chef in the restaurant. If she is capable, it would not be a bad idea to let her manage the kitchen.
The two of them walked around the house for a long time. After returning, Su Yue called the cook and asked her to go back to the palace with her.
