Qiao Xin ignored all the rumors outside.
After planting rice, she will transplant various vegetables, melons and fruit seedlings into the fields.
The packet of seeds that the system had given her in advance in order to tempt her to read the hegemony article had all been cultivated by Qiao Xin. Now the seedlings on half an acre of land were growing vigorously. If they were not thinned out, they would compete for nutrients and countless people would die or be injured.
These seedlings are commonplace to Qiao Xin, but they are rare and new things to the entire Dajing.
The consequence of not knowing each other is that the carriages that came to visit a few days ago almost treated the land as weeds and destroyed it!
Fortunately, it was stopped in time and the loss was not great. Looking at the damaged seedlings, Qiao Xin still felt distressed and never dared to be careless again. She specially found the housekeeper and the village chief to emphasize the importance of this land to them.
Butler Cao sent people to build a tent nearby overnight and sent people to guard it. Second Butler Shunzi was very rude to those who came to apologize.
Our old lady's treasures have been ruined by you, and you think it's a big deal to compensate her with a few taels of silver?
What, you're going to compensate me for the seedlings?
Okay, then, do you know what lettuce, pumpkin, and peanut are?
You don’t even know, what are you going to lose?
Shunzi's good face made the person speechless, and housekeeper Cao played the good guy in time.
Our Qiao family doesn't lack these copper coins, but we do lack people. Instead of giving money, we might as well send a few more people to help with the work for a few days. Only then will the old lady calm down and stop caring!
Do you understand? How can admitting one's mistakes and correcting them be the same as refusing to repent?
The old lady never makes things difficult for those who truly repent...
Qiao Xin watched as Cao Laosan and Shunzi used their eloquence to trick three or four people into coming to work the next day.
That night, each person was rewarded with a pork elbow and one tael of silver.
How can we not give more encouragement to employees who work so hard for their master?
When Eunuch Cao once again brought the silver and stepped into the territory of Weizhou Prefecture, the whole way was filled with talk about the Qiao family.
He remembered His Majesty's concern for the Qiao family, and immediately called someone over, saying, "Go, ask more about what they are talking about the Qiao family! Come on, let's stay in the city first, and then go to Laohu Town tomorrow!"
"yes!"
The people who went to inquire about the news returned quickly. It was not because they were lazy, but because whenever they sat in a teahouse or restaurant in the city and mentioned the Qiao family, the guests would be happy to share the gossip they knew with them.
What about Mrs. Qiao using grain instead of salary, exchanging her 20-cent daily wages for half a pound of coarse grain and one pound of fine grain? What about Mrs. Qiao not knowing how to farm but having a mind full of nonsense, planting nearly a thousand acres of millet in this area of ​​Weizhou Prefecture...
There are so many different opinions and it’s hard to tell the truth from the false!
Upon hearing this, Cao Gong put down the tea bowl in his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not wait any longer. Let's go now! If we go too late, the old lady may not have time to entertain us!"
He also had to go and find out in person. Old Madam Qiao was obviously not such a willful person. Why was she so eccentric? Did she not know how to farm or did she do it on purpose?
He believed that His Majesty was also very interested in this matter!
When Qiao Xin heard that Eunuch Cao had come to her house again, she was also very surprised. Isn't this Eunuch Cao the chief eunuch beside His Majesty? How come he is so free? He comes to her house every other day?
Everyone does their job and does their best. Qiao Xin doesn't like getting too close to the royal family. It's more comfortable when there is some sense of boundaries between each other.
This approach made Qiao Xin feel relieved - he was really afraid that the other party would come up and use moral blackmail to talk about a lot of principles, and then eat from the bowl and look at the pot.
Seeing that the other party came with money to buy the honey of various flowers, he acted quite frankly, which made Qiao Xin let go of her inner resistance.
In fact, if the palace didn't send anyone to ask about the Hundred Flower Honey, she would have to consider cooperating with that kid Xu Can.
Ever since Xu Can drank Qiao's honey water and ate Qiao's home-cooked food, he has been bothering Qiao Xin all the time, wanting to cooperate with her and specialize in selling these things from Qiao's family.
If he renovated his restaurant in Beijing and launched the Qiao family's special dishes, he would surely gain a large number of fans. Beijing has a population of hundreds of thousands, and not all of them are rich. Ordinary people are the majority.
There is a place that can satisfy your appetite without spending a lot of money. Who can refuse it?
However, Qiao Xin refused to respond, so he pestered her for more than half a month and made countless humiliating conditions. Just when Qiao Xin was about to give in, someone unexpectedly showed up and such a good Hundred Flower Honey was snatched away by someone in the palace!
Eunuch Cao immediately noticed Master Xu who was beside Qiao Xin, and he understood why the other party was so dissatisfied, but his family would not treat him like a child.
After greeting Qiao Xin, he said to Xu Can, "I hope you are well, Prince. Marquis Xiaoyao would be very pleased to see that you are so capable."
Xu Can's face turned pale, and he looked at Eunuch Cao with a friendlier look. He was too embarrassed to stare at him angrily.
"I am fine, of course. Please rest assured when you meet my father in the future."
Qiao Xin praised him without asking for money, "That's true. On the way here, Prince, I saw with my own eyes the hardships of the people. We should remember how hard it is to make materials. Every grain of rice and porridge should be made with thought, and every piece of cloth should be made with thought.
I decided to experience the farming process here, and now I have learned how to plow the land and plant rice seedlings with everyone, which is really rare. "
Eunuch Cao looked at Xu Can in astonishment. He really couldn't imagine what it would be like for a dandy young man who used to fight cocks and run errands in the capital to come here and drive cattle, hold the plow, and work in the fields himself.
