After giving their instructions, the men put on gloves and began to divide the work.
Some people dug holes, while others threw in seeds and covered them with soil. Everything began to proceed in an orderly manner.
Cheng Shaowen was in a group with Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu. Cheng Shaowen was in charge of digging holes, Cheng Qingyan was in charge of throwing seeds, and Ye Lingyu was in charge of covering the holes with soil.
Not long after, Cheng Shaowen felt a soreness in his lower back.
He rubbed his lower back, said nothing, and continued digging the hole.
After throwing the seeds, Cheng Qingyan stood still. When he moved, it was to help Ye Lingyu cover the seeds with soil.
But Cheng Shaowen was forced to dig the hole quickly, otherwise Cheng Qingyan would be waiting.
While Cheng Qingyan was waiting, she would also stare at him. He felt pressured, so he soon felt tired.
The combined physical and mental pressure made him feel like he was about to break out in a sweat.
Actually, it's just right if one person throws the seeds and covers them with soil, and another person digs the hole.
Cheng Qingyan deliberately gave Ye Lingyu something to do, otherwise Ye Lingyu would have helped her if she saw her working. She didn't want Ye Lingyu to have any contact with these pesticides.
After working for less than an hour, Cheng Qingyan handed the job over to someone else.
She felt it was getting a bit too sunny and needed to take Ye Lingyu home.
"Shaowen, you'll work with them on this today. When they go back, you can go home."
"Wife, the sun is getting strong. Let's go back. It'll be almost time to cook lunch when we get back."
Although Ye Lingyu helped with burying the soil, she didn't feel tired at all. But since Cheng Qingyan said he wanted to go back, she naturally had to go back with him.
On the way back, a gentle breeze occasionally blew by.
A gentle breeze and a slight warmth caused the roadside flowers and plants to droop their heads.
The summer sun is so hot that your clothes feel burning.
After returning home, Cheng Qingyan went straight to the ice cellar.
I chiseled some ice and made shaved ice.
I smashed the watermelon and made watermelon juice. I added ice to the watermelon juice, and with one sip, a wave of coolness rushed from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head.
After sneaking a sip, he quickly brought a bowl to Ye Lingyu.
"My wife, come and try my chilled watermelon juice and shaved ice."
The watermelon juice had no watermelon seeds, and the shaved ice was topped with osmanthus honey.
Ye Lingyu first scooped up a spoonful of shaved ice. It was cool and sweet, refreshing and delicious.
Under Cheng Qingyan's expectant gaze, he took another sip of watermelon juice.
My mouth was filled with the taste of watermelon, even colder than eating chilled watermelon, and it felt like all the heat in my body was driven away.
Cheng Qingyan looked at her expectantly: "How does it taste? My wife, do you like it?"
"She loves it. If Jiangjiang were home, she would probably keep asking you to make it for her."
Cheng Qingyan took a bite of the shaved ice, and the cold made her shake her head: "That's easy. After we finish eating, I'll have someone send them two blocks of ice so they can make their own."
"I don't know if Doctor Ruan has an ice cellar. I forgot to ask when I sent them back, otherwise I could have brought them some ice."
Ye Lingyu recalled the layout of Ruan Banxia's house. There didn't seem to be an ice cellar, but she knew there was a cellar.
"Send two over there. It might not be possible to store them in an ice cellar, but she has a cellar at home, so they can be stored there temporarily."
"Okay, it's decided then~"
Two blocks of ice are perfectly fine to put in the cellar.
The ice they sell isn't small; they bought a whole cellar full of ice, all the size of a cartload.
So even if we send over two pieces and store them in the cellar, it will be enough for them to eat for a while.
Luo Ji and Liu Baisheng sent word that soap needed to be produced in large quantities, as they had opened a chain of stores and needed to stock up.
Moreover, there are now agents who get their goods directly from Luoji.
Cheng Qingyan told Luo Ji to set up a soap factory in Wanfeng County, which would save time on transportation.
The market needs a lot of soap now, not only because their soap is cheap, but also because there is a wide variety of types.
Floral, fruity, and some even contain Chinese medicinal herbs are also very popular.
With just this one place in Mengjia Village, we can't produce that many things.
Liu Baisheng's restaurant mainly wants new dishes, which could be recipes or new vegetables.
To pave the way for further development, it is necessary to maintain a good reputation and a sense of novelty in order to achieve sustainable growth.
Cheng Qingyan thought of the peanuts and soybeans she had just planted, which she didn't have yet.
So he had someone buy some dried peanuts from the nearby area, both with and without shells.
Salted peanuts and honey peanuts need to be made quickly.
Why make these two first? Because she wanted to eat them.
Some seasonings didn't exist in this era, so she could only secretly grow them in her space and then have Ye Lingyu cook them.
In the past few days, she had someone deliver ice to Shuanghe Village and then stopped paying attention to it.
They were all busy working with Ye Lingyu to research how to make salted peanuts and honey peanuts. Ye Lingyu was mainly in charge of the research, while she was in charge of tasting them.
She ate peanuts for several days in a row until she felt like throwing up.
Fortunately, her efforts paid off, and she managed to develop the final recipe for the two types of peanuts.
Peanuts cooked with seasonings are then taken out and dried in the sun.
Next up are honey peanuts, the crunchy kind.
Before taking it out of the pan, sprinkle it with black and white sesame seeds. It tastes like peanuts and sesame seeds, plus the sweetness of honey, it's incredibly delicious.
The recipe and preparation method were written down, and some samples were made. Meng An was asked to send them to Liu Baisheng as quickly as possible.
Yan Nanxing and his wife's medicinal herb business is growing bigger and bigger.
However, many rare and old medicinal herbs were grown by Cheng Qingyan in his space and then sent to him.
They acquire almost all the common medicinal herbs through purchasing.
The main profits come from rare and aged medicinal herbs.
These medicinal herbs are mainly sold to wealthy merchants and high-ranking officials; ordinary people can't afford them.
Therefore, Cheng Qingyan earned this money without feeling guilty at all.
Now, she is quite wealthy.
She wondered if she could put up a fight against the Ye family in the county town; she hadn't forgotten to avenge Ye Lingyu!
At the beginning of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, a procession of carriages and horses suddenly arrived at our house.
Leading the group was Shen Ziyu, who had a full head of silver hair.
Behind Shen Ziyu was a luxurious carriage, servants, and a large entourage.
At a glance, a procession of no less than a hundred people had stopped in front of Cheng Qingyan's house.
As Fugui barked, Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu came out of the house and immediately spotted Shen Ziyu.
Shen Ziyu also saw Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu coming out to greet him. After handing the reins to the servant beside him, he took the lead and walked into the courtyard.
The luxurious carriage behind her, near the courtyard gate, had its curtains partially lifted.
