Qiao Xin's goal of using the system as a free navigation system was not realized, but she learned from the dog system that there was wild sugarcane nearby.
This is such a pleasant surprise!
With sugarcane, how far can white sugar be? She can then expand her beekeeping business with confidence.
Qiao Xin looked for the address and finally found a valley at the corner of two mountains. It was warm, humid and had plenty of sunshine. The only drawback was that it was far from Laohu Town, with few people and no roads, so one had to cross mountains and ridges to get there.
However, the climate in Wisconsin is not suitable for the growth of sugarcane, which makes this place particularly rare!
However, Qiao Xin is already very satisfied with the result. At worst, she can improve it slowly.
Since the dog system has given her such a bait, there will definitely be more actions in the future to plot against her merit points. Then there will be room for bargaining. By then, there will be no fear of not being able to get the improved breed!
…
Qiao Erlang was doing his homework in the yard. Everyone else had gone to work in the fields. He was the only one who had fallen behind in his homework because he had been playing too much recently. Qiao Yunqing punished him by making him write two more large characters.
Seeing Qiao Xin carrying a bundle of strange "sticks" into the house, the little guy couldn't sit still any longer, so he put down his pen and rushed over to join in the fun.
The Qiao family had long been accustomed to bringing back some things from the mountains from time to time. The weeds and vines that were commonplace in their eyes could always be turned into something new and refreshing in Qiao Xin's hands. I wonder what he was going to do today?
"Granny, what is this?"
"It's delicious, I guarantee you'll like it!" Qiao Xin picked a good-looking sugarcane, bent it with both hands, and with a "click", it was cut into two pieces. He casually handed one to Qiao Erlang, saying, "Try it!"
As he said this, he started to eat it.
Qiao Erlang imitated Qiao Xin, holding the sugarcane tightly with both hands, and took a bite impatiently. With a "crunch", the sugarcane skin was bitten open. With the first step, the following actions were much faster. After three or five bites, the sugarcane was bitten by Qiao Erlang's small tiger teeth until only the inner core was left.
"You learn pretty quickly. Just chew the core of the sugarcane and spit out the residue!"
Qiao Erlang heard this and took a bite! His eyes widened with surprise!
"Oh, the milk is so sweet, there's maltose in it!"
He chewed and sucked the sugarcane juice hard, his mouth bulging like a little squirrel stealing food.
Qiao Xin picked out a few good ones, peeled off the withered skin, cut off the head and tail of the sugarcane, split them into several sections with bare hands, and put them in the basket next to her. She also told Qiao Erlang not to eat too much, as it would easily damage his teeth.
Seeing the little guy nodded in agreement, he said, "Each person can only eat one. Brother and sister will clean up all the skins in this pile later, and I will come back to deal with them. Go call your uncle Zhang Yun and ask him to bring people with me into the mountains."
Qiao Erlang nodded in agreement, turned around and ran to the field!
Qiao Xin couldn't tell how big the valley was. No one had cared about it for so many years. Sugarcane grew wildly there, and it wouldn't take much time to develop it all and plant sugarcane. There were many capable people in her family. It was said that there were many refugees who were unwilling to return home gathered under the walls of Weizhou Prefecture! These were all laborers who could be hired with a meal.
Qiao Xin was thinking about what to do at home during this period of time. Hundreds of acres of fertile fields in the south of the city were being plowed one after another. It would take no more than ten days to complete the tillage. By then, water would be irrigated and the land would be leveled and rice seedlings could be planted directly.
In the next half month, we have to grow rice seedlings, build granaries and mills, and organize the small shops in the city...
So busy!!!!
The land in Laohu Town will probably have to wait until the astragalus flowers have faded before cotton, peas, sesame and other crops can be planted. The beehives for making honey need to be looked after, and the honey collection and harvesting also require manpower. The orchards need to be pruned and the fruits need to be thinned...
It seems like manpower is needed everywhere. There are dozens of people at home, and they are busy like tops every day and can't seem to turn around.
When Qiao Yunqing goes to Beijing for the exam next month, he will have to take another group of people with him, and the family will be even more short of manpower!
Qiao Xin was feeling a bit overwhelmed. Unconsciously, it seemed that her stall had spread too wide... Insufficient reserve funds and management personnel were the first problems that needed to be solved.
At night, Qiao Xin discussed the current predicament with Nanny Qin at the dinner table. Nanny Qin was indeed the manager of human resources training who had worked in the Marquis' Mansion for many years.
During this period, the newly bought servants of the Qiao family have been well taken care of. Now when he heard Qiao Xin complain about the headache of personnel arrangement, he immediately recommended several suitable plans to her.
"Mo Jiaquan is already capable of standing on his own. It would be a waste of talent for him to just run errands for the Second Master. The old lady should arrange for him to be the chief steward. Shi Yazi has been taking care of the Second Master's daily life. Let him stay by his side and slowly gain experience. Transfer a few skilled people from Zhang Yun to follow the Second Master. The Second Master's safety will also be guaranteed when he goes out."
The reason why Qiao Xin and Nanny Qin arranged Zhang Yun and his people so blatantly was because Heng Wen had someone deliver the indentures of this group of people not long after Zhang Yun moved into her house.
Heng Wen's move stunned Nanny Qin. You have to know that a guard like Zhang Yun is not something that ordinary families can cultivate. He is very precious to every family. However, they have been brainwashed since childhood. Many of them even live in darkness all their lives, doing things that are not worthy of being shown on the stage for their masters, and they will not leave their masters until they die.
He spent all day trying to calculate the constant temperature, but he actually sent such a team of people directly to Qiao Xin. How much trust did he have in the other party to make such a decision?
But Qiao Xin didn't treat them as treasures. She arranged things for them all day long, wasting her energy without any intention of treating them differently. But Zhang Yun and the others were not unhappy at all.
Zhou Yu was beating Huang Gai, one was willing to fight, the other was willing to be beaten, what could she say?
When Qiao Xin took the indenture contract and asked for their opinions, saying that they could stay or leave as they pleased, no one was willing to leave the Qiao family.
Qiao Xin did not force it, but from then on, when Qiao Xin taught her children and grandchildren, she also taught this group of people. Now that Nanny Qin was redistributing positions, Qiao Xin actually asked Zhang Yun and others for their opinions.
Nanny Qin seemed to understand why they were reluctant to leave. I'm afraid there will never be another master who respects everyone around him like Qiao Xin! Even if it's just a servant! In the Qiao family, you feel like you live like a human being!
