She needs high yields, out-of-season production, and a diverse range of products.
Old Zhang recalled the various novel yet seemingly reasonable methods proposed by the young female owner after taking over the estate... such as the new method of composting fertilizer, and finally nodded.
Zi Xi then walked to another area and directed them to plant red flame peppers, which she called colored sweet peppers, by several sheds covered with tarpaulins and built in a simple but reasonable manner.
Although Old Li, who was in charge of the greenhouse, found the colorful fruits inside strange and couldn't imagine what these red and yellow fruits tasted like, he still immediately followed the instructions.
Without stopping, she walked towards a slightly elevated, well-drained slope, which was a peanut field.
In the future, this way we can not only extract oil, but also extract peanuts and boil them to eat as snacks.
Zi Xi's eyes shone as if she could already see the golden peanut oil and the crispy peanut candy and peanut brittle.
Peanuts are a great source of oils and proteins, and a great ingredient for making all sorts of delicious dishes.
Finally, her gaze fell on a large open space on the edge of the farm, near the hillside, where the sun shone the brightest.
There, a dozen or so tenant farmers were digging shallow furrows in preparation for sowing, as she had instructed.
This area is naturally designated for growing sunflowers.
When sunflowers bloom, they create a beautiful golden field. After the flowers fade, the seeds can be roasted and eaten, making it a win-win situation – you can enjoy the scenery and have some to eat!
Zi Xi also plans to offer a small dish to guests waiting for a table at Bazhenlou Restaurant in the future, and also serve it with tea.
Even selling them individually can be a business.
After arranging these future pillars of the Eight Treasures Pavilion, Zi Xi turned to the other side of the estate.
The sounds of pigs grunting and craftsmen hammering could be heard from there.
Over there was a rather large pigsty built with newly felled timber and blue bricks.
The design of this pigsty completely overturns the traditional stench-filled model.
According to Zi Xi's blueprints, the ground was paved with stone slabs and sloped downwards, with a deep sewage ditch dug underneath, leading to the large septic tank at the back.
Ventilation openings were also provided in the pigpen, and a movable sunshade was added to the top.
She introduced a simple concept of dry-wet separation and sedimentation fermentation.
Keeping pigsties dry and well-ventilated can greatly reduce the risk of disease.
There's also a shed next to it, which has a cutting board, a washing pool, and racks for slaughtering live pigs.
The improved pig breed produced by Xiaojiayuan is not only supplied to Bazhenlou after slaughter.
Those so-called scraps are then processed into uniquely flavored braised dishes using her secret braising recipe and sold.
She's a business genius!
Zi Xi stood on the edge of the field, gazing at the vibrant land before her. If it weren't for the fact that she lived in a society where imperial power reigned supreme, she would have really wanted to say something to the people around her.
Look, this is all the empire I conquered!
Helian Jue did not ride a horse along the way, but instead used his lightness skill to travel silently.
When his figure appeared like a ghost in a dense forest on a hillside with a great view on the outskirts of the farm, the scene before him completely stunned him.
He had expected that Liu Dongjia would just instruct the servants to do the work, but he never expected that Liu Dongjia would personally work alongside the farmers.
Although the class system of the Jade Dynasty was relatively better than that of other countries, the class system still existed.
Even that Xia Momo, she talks about equality for all, but when it comes to giving orders, she's more frequent than anyone else.
At this moment, she looked like a real peasant woman, dressed in coarse cloth with her sleeves rolled up, planting strangely shaped seedlings in the field.
Helian Jue squatted on the tree branch in silence.
He had always thought that Xia Momo's behavior meant that her so-called equality for all people in later generations was nothing more than that.
Xia Momo possessed knowledge of the future, yet despite witnessing the chaos in the world, she remained unwilling to save the people from their suffering.
Previously, Helian Jue thought that so-called modern people were nothing special.
