The day he stops being so oblivious to Xue will also be the day the Xue family faces disaster.
If I were a member of the Xue family, I would certainly get back all the money spent and then call off the engagement.
As Chi Yu was saying these things, Chi Qiao recalled how her younger sister had been mistreated by the Qi family, and chimed in:
"Isn't the Qi family always so arrogant just because Qi Mingyu is about to become a Juren?"
Why get engaged at this time? Why not just wait until they pass the imperial examination and then find someone better?
Besides, with disasters happening one after another, who knows if Qi Mingyu will have the life to survive until then?
If we can't make it through, wouldn't it be like trying to fill a basket with water?
The Chi family could criticize Qi Mingyu, and Zhong Yufeng could too, but the remaining two shouldn't discuss these matters further.
Therefore, after Chi Qiao finished speaking, Qiao Shi came out and said with a laugh:
"Sister Zhou, let's not talk about this today. I've come here today with two things to discuss."
Firstly, my sister Juan's husband likes to tend to the fields.
Last December, a lot of vegetables were grown in Chijia'ao. She wanted to come and see them, and then ask you to help introduce her to someone.
Then I'll have my brother-in-law have a good chat with the people from Chijia'ao.
Another thing is that, a couple of days ago, Sister Juan bought a lot of land.
My brother-in-law can't take care of everything by himself, so I was wondering if you could help introduce me to someone willing to work in the county town.
Don't worry, the land that Sister Juan bought is all in one large area.
Sister Juan plans to build a village, where people who come to work will live.
Secondly, my Tongfu Restaurant in Jianzhou Prefecture will not be able to open for business.
However, it works in the Nanjing area.
Sister Zhou, you and Miss Chiyu both promised to study the dishes carefully. Do you have any new dishes planned?
Don't worry, I will definitely not shortchange you on the price.
By the way, I'd like the recipes for those two desserts.
Upon hearing this, Chi Yu recalled that she had previously collected a lot of river snails while scooping up river sand in her spatial dimension.
Thinking it over, her eyes flickered, and she said, "Sister Qiao, let's talk about the dishes later."
You can have lunch here today. I'll cook a dish for you, and you can try it.
I have a big business opportunity that I'd like to offer to you, Sister Qiao.
As she spoke, she looked at Wang Yunjuan and said, "Sister Juan, it's no problem for me to introduce your husband to people from our clan."
However, the people of Chijia'ao are all mountain dwellers who make a living by hunting and don't know much about farming.
I don't know if they would be willing to come down the mountain to work as farm laborers.
Although Wang Yunjuan seemed like a good employer, working as a long-term laborer always gave me the feeling of being a slave to others.
The Chi family would probably be unwilling.
Besides, once the soap deal is settled, the villagers will probably be even less willing.
Working in the village workshop is much better than coming down the mountain to the county town to work as a long-term laborer.
Besides, by May or June, her potatoes and sweet potatoes will be ready for harvest.
When the time comes, we'll have the villagers find a slightly shady spot where they can cultivate the land.
They have high-yield grain crops on one hand, and can also earn money by working in workshops on the other.
In addition, there are small shops in Chijia'ao, making life more convenient than before. I think the villagers will be even less willing to come down the mountain!
Wang Yunjuan and her daughter were unaware of Chi Yu's thoughts at that moment.
But the man in the family, surnamed Qiao, who was the county magistrate, had also heard from him that morning about the high-yield new type of grain.
Even though she didn't know where the things were, she figured that grain doesn't discriminate based on the land, so the people of Chijia'ao probably wouldn't come down the mountain to work.
