Seeing the old lady's embarrassment, Xiushui smiled.
"Third Master, Third Madam, my portraiture is just at this level. Anyone in our village who wants to learn from me can come.
Although it's just a portrait, learning it can be considered a way to spice up life. It's not about how many skills you have, but it's good to have more in hand."
"Yes, I think learning more is a good thing. Then Third Grandpa will tell the villagers that any children who are willing to learn can come and learn from you."
"Okay, then I'll go back. But let me make it clear first: I won't teach you these things. After all, this kind of thing is also about fate.
As for hobbies and interests, how well one learns them all depends on one's own ability."
Lao Cai's face sulked. "Of course. There won't be another incident like last time where you taught everyone to weave. There are some people in our village I really don't want to talk about."
The last time Xiushui was fleeing famine, she volunteered to teach everyone how to weave straw. Some people were slow to learn and insisted on asking Xiu girl to teach them.
Not only did he refuse, but he also talked nonsense. The village chief feels anxious just thinking about it now.
Seeing them like this, Chief Luo on the side was also slightly moved.
He also saw Xiu Yatou's portrait painting skills just now.
He also has children at home, and his two older sons have several children. If anyone can learn from him, it may be an advantage in the future.
"Xiu girl, Grandpa Luo is here..."
Xiushui waved her hand.
"Come on, whoever wants to come, we're all from the same village, so why are you being so particular? Oh, speaking of which, Grandpa Luo, don't we have to elect a village chief?"
Chief Luo was stunned for a moment. He said with some doubt, "I think Third Brother is doing a good job as village chief. Why would I choose another one?"
"Well, your Luo tribe has also joined in, and people from the Women's Village are also included. So now this Linji Village is no longer the old Houshan Village. Do we still need to elect a village chief?"
Chief Luo understood what Xiushui was saying and immediately realized that they were going to decide on the candidate for village chief.
"There's not much to say about this matter. Third Brother should still be the village chief. People of our tribe live in this village, and we have a lot of things to do in the future.
To be honest, many of us in the Luo clan are now leaving to see what the best livelihood is in Ancheng.
Although we are from the same tribe, we still have to rely on our own family for our livelihood. We Luo people like to help our fellow tribesmen prosper.
If any business can be developed into a big one, the tribe members will be able to prosper together... hehe..."
Xiushui understood that, in fact, from ancient times to the present, there have been many people who have formed groups like this.
Why are modern Wenzhou people and local business associations forming? Isn't it to help business people unite and find more business opportunities and connections?
In ancient times, the family was given priority, in fact, it was mostly because of interests.
"Then please tell me more about it, old village chief. I have other things to do."
Knowing that she was very busy, the old village chief did not stop her.
Pulling Chief Luo's hand, he told him about the arrangements for the village chief, village committee members, and team leaders.
After hearing this, Patriarch Luo once again sighed that Xiushui was really amazing.
"Ah, how come Xiu girl is so capable? She has so many tricks one after another, she is much stronger than many men.
I don't know who will marry Xiu girl. My two stinky boys are so inferior to her. "
When the old village chief heard this, he knew what he was planning.
"Brother, many people have set their sights on Xiu, but it's all in vain. Didn't you see that the cousin from the first caravan has arrived in our village?
They also want to settle down here. From what he said, they came for Xiu Yatou, and he didn't hear her calling her cousin-in-law.
Xiu Yatou and the elder sister of the Wen family don't object, so... you're all wasting your time."
When Patriarch Luo heard this, he thought, yes, it was indeed a waste of time.
"Why are all the good girls taken away so early? I wonder what kind of person Mr. Zhou's cousin is?"
If the person is not good enough, can he still dream of having Xiu Yatou as his daughter-in-law?
If she is willing to wait, her grandchildren can also be trained to be child-rearing husbands!
Child supporter.
Thinking of Xiushui's sister who always talked about raising a child to be her husband, he suddenly laughed.
"Haha, even if I don't target Xiu girl, I can still marry into the Wen family. Tsk, there are so many girls and boys in the Wen family, as long as you get involved with them, we're all tied together..."
The old village chief gave him a thumbs up. Otherwise, how could he develop the Luo tribe into what it is today? Just because he thinks so quickly, it is impossible for him not to become big.
Xiushui didn't know what these two people were planning. Now she had to develop the village's land and economy.
Otherwise, all the treasures she received while fleeing the famine could not be converted into cash for real use.
A flower in the field depends on fertilizer. The land in Linji Village is almost all ordinary land.
If you want a good harvest, you must fertilize the crops well.
But where would the fertilizer come from? Human labor alone was certainly not enough, which was why she had proposed from the outset that a breeding farm must be established.
But running a farm in ancient times was not that easy.
Feeding grain is not cost-effective, after all, the farming here is all done manually, and the harvest is not as high as the modern per-acre yield.
Therefore, apart from bran, the only thing that can be used to feed livestock is pig grass.
The fastest way to raise fish is to use feed.
So now she is researching fermented feed and insects for raising chickens.
I was busy with medicine before, and now it’s time to improve breeding and related industries.
She had Chen Dafu in charge of the livestock breeding. Today, she was mainly here to ask about the livestock and raw materials.
When she arrived at the farm, the other party hurried over to greet her as soon as they saw her coming.
"Sister Xiushui, you're here. I was just about to finish arranging today's affairs and then come to you to talk about the cub."
"Brother Dafu, have you asked people nearby? How many kinds of livestock cubs can we find?"
"Well, I've been running around with our straw weaving stuff these past couple of days and learned that the livestock we can buy include geese, ducks, chickens, pigs, sheep, cows, and horses.
But I think we don't need to raise such a variety of animals now. We can start with some chickens, ducks, geese, cows and pigs.
Cows can be used to plow the land, but our village only has three cows available right now. We have to buy more, but they are too expensive.”
