Jiang Yue found a few jars, shoveled a lot of soil into them, and mixed in some chicken manure to make the soil more fertile. Then she planted the mint in them, arranging them in a row in front of the main room on the first floor, and just kept them as green plants.
The smell of cement has not completely dissipated yet, and she even thought about waiting until spring to plant more flowers and plants in the house.
The mint in my space is growing so lushly that it's almost become a mint tree. It's a good time to prune it. Let's see if it can survive this winter.
Jiang Yue had just placed the mint when she saw Jiang Nian squatting down, plucking a few leaves and putting them into his mouth, chewing them.
"Why don't you wash it? What if it gets sticky with chicken droppings or something..." She frowned and made a clicking sound, "Eh~ That's disgusting! Don't kiss me!"
Jiang Nian paused as he was about to pick the leaves, looked at her, and stood up.
A tall figure enveloped her. "What are you doing? I'm telling you, domestic violence is illegal..."
Jiang Nian picked her up by the waist and carried her on his shoulders, "It's time to take a bath!"
After a thorough bath, Jiang Yue's whole body turned pink. She lay on Jiang Nian's bare chest, fingering him slowly, "We have to pack up our things tomorrow and test the water the day after tomorrow."
"Okay." Halfway through his words, he grabbed Jiang Yue's slender white fingers and slowly lowered her to the side. Then he put on the vest Jiang Yue had made, walked to the window, and looked at the uninvited guest in the yard with a bad look.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yue took the thin shirt from the bedside and put it on, then walked over.
Under the bright moonlight, the entire backyard can be seen clearly.
Three of them, one big and two small, squatted in front of her pigpen and chicken coop with their bags on their backs, shedding a few drops of crystal saliva.
Good guy, this time he stopped staring at her mule's butt and started staring at the pig's butt? He's quite a good eater, pork is more fragrant than mule meat.
The two went downstairs, and Jiang Yue shouted at them: "If one of my chickens or pigs is missing, your lives will be over."
A few of them felt a chill on their backs and quickly turned around and walked towards the front yard.
Jiang Yue turned around and closed her eyes. "Are there any clothes in your bag? Change back into human form and talk to me."
Jiang Nian also turned around.
There was a rustling sound, followed by a cat's meow, "Alright."
The clothes they were wearing were all given to them by the bandit leader after they entered the city. The looted clothes were of good quality and made the three of them look quite presentable, better looking than the refugees.
She has discovered that orcs are more handsome than ordinary people, with deeper and sharper facial features.
Of course, apart from this cute cat boy with a round head and a round brain, he looks like a smart and naughty boy.
"Let's talk inside."
This yard is not far from the next door, so any loud noises can be heard.
Jiang Yue picked up the teapot, poured a few cups of water, and sat down at the table.
"What's going on with you guys?"
"Let me tell you, let me tell you!" The young man, Fan Jin, couldn't stop talking. "We followed the bandits to the city, and there we ate a lot of fish..."
He licked his lips as he spoke, and then continued, "But there were fights and murders in the city from time to time, so we ran away."
They didn't know what was good and what was bad. They only remembered Jiang Yue saying that innocent people should not be killed. Fighting at every turn was definitely not good.
"It just so happens that the treasure we dug up earlier was promised to everyone who saw it. I'll take it out and share it with you."
Jiang Yue's heart was bleeding, and she wanted to give away most of it...
Fan Jin waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no... We don't want those things. It's useless to have them."
He glanced at Jiang Nian secretly, then spoke again, "Can we, can we live with you? We returned to Tianxia Mountain, but there are people breaking in every day and digging rocks. There are rumbling noises every day, it's so noisy..."
Jiang Yue's expression froze. It seemed that this was indeed her fault.
She asked Fan Bai and Fan Mo, "Do you have the same idea?"
The two nodded.
"Can you adapt to the human lifestyle?"
"Can."
Jiang Yue quickly calculated the account in her mind. Is it worthwhile to exchange that money for food?
"You work for me, and I give you food, but it's impossible to have meat every meal. I'm not from a wealthy family. Even wealthy families don't necessarily have meat to eat these days."
"You have to cook your own meals and wash your own clothes. In other words, I only hire you to work. You will be provided with food, shelter and lodging, but I can't give you much. If you agree, stay."
She is not a nanny. Do you expect her to take care of your eating, drinking, defecating and urinating?
Fan Mo spoke in a cold voice, "Sure. I can also help you sweep the floor, wash clothes, and raise the prey in the backyard."
She did these kinds of work for the bandits and also learned how to mend clothes. She had better eyesight than others and her hands were very fast.
Hunting, what to hunt?
Jiang Yue was worried that the black snake would end up in her stomach.
"We don't need your help with the housework for now, just help me run the store."
How great! There was a ready-made staff. She had originally been thinking about how to greet guests given Jiang Nian's personality...
"You can stay, but you are not allowed to live here." Jiang Nian showed dissatisfaction. This was his territory.
Jiang Yue comforted him, "Stay downstairs tonight. I'll take them to stay in the store tomorrow. It'll be a good opportunity to watch over the store."
The three of them nodded in agreement, and Jiang Nian finally gave in.
However, he forced them to take a thorough bath before allowing them to sleep on the kang in the main room.
The next day, since it was the new employees' first day at work, Jiang Yue prepared breakfast for them.
Except for Fan Jin, who has a smaller appetite, Fan Bai and Fan Mo each ate ten steamed buns and ten large meat buns, and only felt about 60% full...
Looking at Jiang Nian, he is also a big eater. He ate twenty buns with pork in them for breakfast.
Jiang Yue thought it was a good idea to let them fend for themselves, as the cook would be exhausted. She was even considering asking the neighbor next door to help hatch the remaining half of the eggs, as otherwise there would be no way they could feed the whole family.
After breakfast, she tried to get Fan Mo to cut some cloth with scissors.
Fan Mo's expression remained impassive, her head lowered, as she did everything as instructed. Her fingers were nimble, allowing her to measure precisely without a ruler.
"Master, it's done."
Feeling the unfriendly gaze from Jiang Nian behind her, Jiang Yue hurriedly asked her to change her name, "You can all call me Dongjia."
"Yes, Boss."
Jiang Yue was very satisfied with her craftsmanship and immediately decided to let her be the embroiderer of the new store - well, an embroiderer who only needed to cut cloth.
General Liang gave them all separate stores, with at most a kitchen and a warehouse at the back.
Jiang Yue and the others tidied up a bit, equipped them with pots, pans, and a few bags of food, and from then on they could cook for themselves.
Fan Bai and Fan Jin lived behind the cloth shop. As for Fan Mo, she still had to pay attention to the influence of men and women, so she lived in the shop next door.
On the third day, Jiang’s cloth shop opened for business, catching up with the three-day episode schedule.
