Also, every year when the persimmons are ripe, they have to be taken to the county to be sold and made into persimmon cakes. These things require a lot of time and energy. I wonder if Erlaizi has the time to do these things.
Let’s deal with them one by one first. Jiang Tuantuan took Yubao and Feng Xiaoli out for a walk.
Yubao was excited all the way because everyone in the family was busy during the day and Feng Xiaoli was the only one left. She didn't dare to take Yubao out to the street by herself, in case something dangerous happened.
So since it's so rare for him to go out, Yubao finds everything curious.
When we arrived at Jiangyue Pavilion, only Mai Feng was staying in the front, and Madden was making a silver lock for Yubao in the backyard.
In order to continue to improve Mai Feng and Mai Deng's skills, Jiang Tuantuan spent another 10,000 points to buy a bunch of silver bars for them.
Jiang Tuantuan is so heartbroken, these points are harder to earn than money!
Jiang Tuantuan called the two of them over and instructed them, "We will be heading to the capital at the end of autumn. You two will stay in Fujiang County for the time being, continue your studies, and take care of the store."
"Wait until everything is settled in the capital, then you can come over. Although I won't be around and can't watch over you during this period, you still have to study hard. Do you understand?"
Mai Feng and Madden said yes in unison.
She said, "Don't worry about selling things. The most important thing is to learn the craft. Sell things to people who come to buy them. Keep a good account. I will send a housekeeper over in a few days, and you just need to contact him."
Jiang Tuantuan said that he wanted to find a housekeeper, but in reality it was not that easy to find one. This housekeeper would take over all the affairs of Fujiang County in the future, so he had to be trustworthy.
That day, Er Laizi came over again to deliver chickens and eggs. Jiang Tuantuan asked him, "I'm leaving Fujiang County for the capital at the end of autumn. I can't take care of the chickens and persimmons in the back mountain, or the ginger and sweet potatoes in the fields. I'd like you to take care of them, but I'm not sure if you have the time."
Erlaizi also wanted to do it, after all, he could earn more money, but Dafang had just given birth to a child, and he had to take care of the mother and daughter, so he really couldn't spare the time and could only refuse with regret.
Jiang Tuantuan could only sigh helplessly and decided to put this matter aside for now.
After discussing with Jiang Dafeng and Jiang Li, they both agreed to go to the capital. It just so happened that the last batch of students had been taught, so they could resign from their positions as teachers.
Jiang Li learned everything from Jiang Dafeng, so there was no problem.
After confirming it, Jiang Tuantuan wrote a letter and sent it to Li Jingchen as soon as possible.
The letter said that he would take the whole family to the capital at the end of autumn, and that Mr. Zhou and his family would also go there. They would write together on the way so that he could take care of himself and not worry.
Li Jingchen was so excited when he received the letter that he almost jumped up and laughed so hard that his mouth could not close. The soldiers below were confused when they saw the deputy general like this. What happened to the deputy general? He laughed so scary. What should they do?
Everyone thought that the training volume would be increased, but the deputy general waved his hand and ended the training early, which should have been a very happy thing.
But the soldiers broke out in cold sweats. This was completely different from the usual serious and cold deputy general!
Summer passed quietly and early autumn came. The weather was clear and cool, and my mood felt much better. The spring wheat would be ripe in a while, and Jiang Tuantuan planned to go outside the city to check out the fields.
By the way, I also checked on the work of Mai Wu and Mai Gu.
Mai Wu and Mai Gu were working in the fields when they turned around and saw their boss coming from a distance.
Jiang Tuantuan always came without any notice, just like a surprise inspection. Before that, the two of them were a little nervous and uncomfortable.
There was even one time when Jiang Tuantuan came to inspect and happened to see the two lying in the house. The two thought they were finished, but they didn't expect Jiang Tuantuan to not get angry or scold them. He just asked them to take a look at the wheat in the field.
Seeing that all the weeds that needed to be removed in the field had been removed and all the rice seedlings that needed to be planted had been planted, and that the work was done quite well, Jiang Tuantuan even praised the two for their efficient work.
After that, they both understood that it didn't matter if they took a break, as long as they did their job well. So they worked even harder afterwards.
So now when the two of them saw Jiang Tuantuan coming, they were very calm and continued to do what they were supposed to do.
Jiang Tuantuan walked around the field by himself. Seeing that the wheat was growing well, he was very satisfied and called the two of them over.
There was no tea in the room, so Mai Wu boiled a pot of hot water and brought up a new set of cups.
Jiang Tuantuan nodded with satisfaction.
Mai Wudao: "Looking at the current situation, the wheat harvest will definitely be higher than the winter wheat."
"Oh, do you remember how much the winter wheat harvest was?"
Wheat 5: "One mu yields three to four dan of wheat, but a total of sixty-eight dan of wheat was harvested per mu."
Jiang Tuantuan was a little surprised how he knew that. She had counted the wheat that was harvested by herself and didn't tell Mai Wu after she figured it out. Could it be that Mai Wu had calculated it himself when he was harvesting the wheat?
Jiang Tuantuan was delighted, "Mai Wu, can you read and count?"
Mai Wu nodded. "My family was relatively well-off when I was little, so I went to school for a few years. But something happened later, so I stopped going. I can still read a few words now."
Jiang Tuantuan was even happier. If possible, Mai Wu would be the best candidate for housekeeper!
There was exactly one month left before the wheat harvest, and it was not a very busy period. Mai Gu could handle it alone, so Jiang Tuantuan called Mai Wu to his home.
I'm going to test whether he's capable of being a housekeeper and give him some advice.
The warehouse where Mai Feng and Madden once lived is now occupied by Mai Wu.
Jiang Tuantuan took out a copy of the Three Character Classic and asked him to read it to her. Although there were a few words she didn't recognize and he even read it a little haltingly, he understood most of it.
I can do arithmetic within 100 very quickly, but it is difficult to do numbers above 100, so I need to use an abacus. However, I only learned a little bit about abacus back then, so I am not very proficient in using it.
These are nothing, because the worst thing is Mai Wu's handwriting, which looks like dog crawling, very ugly, and you can barely make out that it is a word.
Mai Wu was a little shy, "I haven't practiced for a long time, I'm rusty!"
But Jiang Tuantuan didn't dislike it, at least he could teach her.
"I will be leaving Fu Jiang County for the capital at the end of autumn. The fields and shops left here, as well as the things in the village and the mountains, all need someone to take care of them, so I need a housekeeper. I think you can be qualified. Are you willing?"
Mai Wu was shocked. He never thought that this day would come. He was excited but also a little nervous. He was afraid that he would not be able to do it. But if he didn't even have the courage to try, how could he have a better future?
Mai Wu said firmly: "I do."
Jiang Tuantuan was very satisfied with his attitude. "But as you know, becoming a housekeeper requires a lifelong contract."
Mai Wu said that there was no problem at all and things were going very smoothly. After the signing, Mai Wu completely became Jiang Tuantuan's man.
