Chapter 798 Controlling Quantity
Li Junxin's guess was not without reason. It was a miracle that this caravan could return intact. At least until the drought was over, northern Hubei would not send any more caravans to the outside of the Great Wall.
Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Qingqian went to the market to buy some meat and bones, then drove the carriage to Chen Ji Pastry for a walk, and had lunch with Shen Qingning and the others. She left only when the sun outside was not so scorching.
The children in my family are growing taller recently, so we have been having bone soup with every meal.
Eating meat every day is too luxurious for others, but the Shen family can afford it now.
Seeing that the children were growing better and better, the other families in the yard were so envious that they all tried their best to get their children.
After the canal was widened, irrigation and water use were no longer so tight, so Jiang Goudan and his friends came to the Shen family to discuss continuing to grow vegetables in the fields, thus providing each family with an additional source of income.
Wu naturally would not disagree, but she handed the matter over to Shen Qingman. She and Liang, Lin and others took care of the land allocated to the Shen family by the army.
In addition, the sugar factory was operating normally, and the demand for white sugar was greater than before, so the sugar factory expanded its enrollment.
This expansion mainly recruits temporary workers, and only four permanent workers were recruited.
Shen Qingman took care of the fields, while Shen Qingxiao did most of the work at the sugar factory.
The sound of the carriage's wheels attracted a group of children who came to meet them from afar. Shen Qingqian waved at them and said, "Go inside first, don't get caught in the sun."
"Sixth aunt, is there anything delicious?" Shen Jin looked eagerly into the curtain of the carriage.
Chen Yao has developed a tendency to be a foodie under her care these days, but she is a real little lady. Even if she really wants to eat, she will just blink and look at you.
Shen Zhe often acted like a little uncle now. Seeing the little kids acting like this, he quickly led them back like a little adult and said, "Let sister drive the car into the yard first."
When Shen Qingqian got off the car, a group of children surrounded her, chattering like little sparrows.
In a word, did you bring anything back for them?
Shen Qingqian thought to herself that it was a close call. When she went to the market today, she happened to see someone selling thorny fruits. Because they were from the mountains, they were sold together with vegetables. A big basket cost ten cents, and she bought them all as soon as she saw them.
Now surrounded by children, she tapped their foreheads one by one and said, "I know you're greedy, so I've prepared this for you!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around, took out the basket from the carriage, and handed it to Shen Zhe, saying, "Brother Zhe, you can divide it up. Take the ones you have divided home and let my aunt and mother have some too."
Xiaonantun is not close to any mountains, so there are few opportunities for adults or children to go into the mountains.
The children cheered, and Shen Zhe quickly gave each of them a handful of thorny fruits. After he had distributed all the ones around him, he did not forget to send some home to the children who had not come out. When he came back with the basket, there was only a handful left.
"Sister, I think I gave too much." Shen Zhe came to Shen Qingqian and handed the basket to her. "We shouldn't give each person too much."
Shen Qingqian was washing her hands. She glanced down and smiled, "It's okay. Auntie and the others don't have to eat it."
Only children are greedy for these wild fruits. Adults generally have no interest in such sour things.
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhe lowered his head, as if thinking about something.
If he wants to keep a lot of things, he should control the amount when distributing them.
Just as Shen Qingqian finished washing her hands and was about to go into the house, she heard the sound of horse hooves.
