The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

When Anji saw Su Yuanyuan's firm attitude, he knew that he was going to mess up the matter, so he said, "Miss Su, please wait a moment. I will send someone to ask my young master."

Su Yuanyuan said, "Okay, I'll walk around the farm, you go ask."

Anji sent someone to ask Yang Jingning, but Yang Jingning was training soldiers in the military camp, which was not close to the village. It would take more than an hour to go back and forth.

Su Yuanyuan simply asked someone to bring a fishing rod, and held up an umbrella to fish by the pond. She thought that if she could really catch a fish, she would grill one and eat it. If she was lucky and caught a lot, she would bring it home in the evening and add it to the family dinner.

Anji stood not far away, watching Su Yuanyuan fishing leisurely, and was very envious. One day, it would be great if their young master could be so leisurely. He had never seen his young master leisurely, and he always seemed to be on edge.

Anji thought that his young master should have more contact with Miss Su, learn from her temperament, and stop looking so serious all day long, as that would make him age quickly. But Anji only dared to say these words in her heart, and didn't dare to really tell Yang Jingning.

Moreover, Anji knew that his young master was under a lot of pressure. This leisurely life was not something that could be learned. Especially after his young master was named the General of Pingnan, the pressure and responsibility were even greater. He really didn't dare to relax at all. His nerves were always tense.

Facing such a young master, Anji felt distressed. All Anji could do was to do the job assigned by the young master as well as possible, so that he would worry less.

At this time, Su Yuanyuan, who was fishing by the pond, had a new idea. Why not open a grilled fish restaurant? Selling grilled fish of various flavors and serving them with a few side dishes would be great!

It's a pity that I haven't found the chili pepper yet. Without the chili pepper, the flavor would be lacking. Let's wait a little longer!

More than an hour later, the person who went to ask Yang Jingning came back.

Anji found Su Yuanyuan and said, "Miss Su, the price difference of the manor. The young master wants to order a batch of soaps and tooth cleaning products from you. They don't have to look as good as those in your store, but they have to be slightly better than the ordinary ones on the market. The price of a set of toiletries is controlled at about one or two taels of silver. We will order one thousand sets. These one thousand sets of things will be regarded as the price difference of the manor."

Yang Jingning wanted to use these one thousand sets of toiletries to reward soldiers in the army, veterans who performed well in the army, and recruits who performed well in training.

Su Yuanyuan said: "Even if we customized these 1,000 sets of toiletries, we only paid 1,000 taels of silver, which is still not enough to make up for the difference in the price of the manor. It's still cheap!"

Anji said, "Miss Su, my young master said that the difference is not much after the compensation of one thousand taels of silver. You don't have to think that you are getting a bargain. If you are willing, you can think of more ideas like alcohol in the future. It doesn't matter if you don't think of it. The price cannot be increased. If it is increased, our young master will feel bad. Alcohol is of great help to our young master, and this is what we should do."

Su Yuanyuan knew that this was Yang Jingning's kindness to her, and it would be bad if she continued to refuse. It would be better to make this batch of toiletries better.

Su Yuanyuan said, "Okay! That's it! Thank General Yang for me. I will deliver the toiletries as soon as possible. If you have any other requirements for toiletries, you can also tell me."

Anji said, "Miss Su, my young master is using this batch of toiletries to reward the soldiers in the army. We trust you, just do it as you see fit, there are no special requirements."

Su Yuanyuan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Anji said, "Miss Su, it's getting late today. Do you have time tomorrow? If you do, let's go to the government office to get the contract done. If you're busy, just send someone to go with me."

Su Yuanyuan said, "I have time tomorrow, I will go with you." This was the first property she bought for herself, and she wanted to go in person.

Su Yuanyuan handed Anji two fish and said, "These are the fish I just caught in the pond. Take them back and add them to your dinner!"

Anji didn't hesitate to take the fish and said, "Okay, thank you Miss Su."

Su Yuanyuan caught two fish in total, and Ping An, who was fishing with Su Yuanyuan, caught three fish not far from Su Yuanyuan. There were five fish in total. Su Yuanyuan and Ping An grilled one fish, gave two to Anji, and Su Yuanyuan planned to take the remaining two home to add to her family's dishes.

Maybe it’s because no one fishes in this pond on weekdays, so the fish in the pond are so stupid and easy to catch.

After saying goodbye to Anji, Su Yuanyuan went straight home.

After the purchase, Su Yuanyuan was very happy and in a good mood. Her good mood was felt by everyone in the Su Mansion.

After dinner, Su Yuanyuan went to Su Anton's study to find him. After entering the study and greeting him, Su Yuanyuan went straight to the point and asked, "Dad, have you bought all the rice seeds I asked you to buy for me?"

Su An Dong said: "He hasn't come back yet, but I estimate it will be one or two days."

The caravan of Su Andong's office would go to the north, so Su Yuanyuan asked Su Andong to help buy some rice seeds. Su Andong asked Li Chunsheng and his team to buy some rice seeds from each place they went to.

Su Yuanyuan nodded and said, "Dad, when you come back, you must give me the rice seeds as soon as possible."

Su An Dong said: "I know, don't worry! Girl, are you really going to try it?"

Su Yuanyuan said, "Well, I plan to give it a try. It doesn't matter if I fail. The weather in Nanling Prefecture is warm. If I manage my schedule properly, I can plant two crops a year. Anyway, I have bought a farm now, so I have enough land to use no matter how I do it."

Su Anton nodded and said, "Okay, if you want to try it, then go ahead! If you are lucky enough to increase the output, you will have done a great thing."

Su Yuanyuan said: "I didn't think too much about it. I just wanted to give it a try. I didn't think about how much I could improve. Even a little improvement would be good!"

Su Anton agreed, "Yes, every bit of improvement counts. But we should not tell anyone about what we are doing before we make some progress. Otherwise, rumors will delay things, and we will not feel comfortable listening to them. It is best to find someone to manage your experimental field, or you can find a reason to surround it with a wall. Besides, farming is a physical job, and a little girl like you may not be able to do it. You can provide technical guidance, and find someone to do the farming work and let them do it according to your requirements. These people must be trustworthy. Buy two suitable people, observe them for a period of time, and then use them if there is no problem."

Su Yuanyuan said, "Dad, we have the same idea. I plan to use the paddy field that is close to the house as an experimental field. I plan to enclose it and build a wall around it. It may be expensive, but I will plant some thorny plants under the wall. I have already thought of a reason for enclosing it. I will say that we want to grow some food for our family to eat. The farm is mine, and I can do whatever I want with it. I guess people around the farm will not do anything even if they are curious."

"Anji said that the tenants in the farm are all good. I don't plan to change them for now. If there are dishonest people, it won't be too late to change them. Besides, I only fenced in to grow crops. Even if others are curious and sneak in to take a look, I guess they won't see anything. I'm not afraid of them seeing it."

"I definitely can't farm the land by myself. I can't do it by myself. I plan to go to the farm and buy a few experienced farmers. I will give them technical guidance and let them farm. When I can't trust them, I won't tell them what I want to do. I just let them do what I say. They just ask out of curiosity, and if I don't tell them, they can't force me."

Su An Dong nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you have a plan in mind."

The next day, Su Yuanyuan went to the pawnbroker to buy someone. Her requirements were simple: an experienced farmer with farming experience and a honest and loyal person.

There was indeed a suitable candidate in the dental clinic. The family had quite a few people. The couple, who were about fifty years old, were surnamed Tian and had two sons. Both sons had married and had children. The eldest son had two sons and a daughter, and the second son had two sons. The youngest child in the family was already nine years old. In a farm family, a nine-year-old child could already do a lot of work.

The family was originally tenant farmers on someone else's farm. The farm owner had taken a liking to the granddaughter of the family and wanted her to be his concubine, but the family was unwilling. So the farm owner made the family sign a contract, owed a sum of money, and had to sell themselves into slavery.

It was not their fault that they were unwilling to do so. The head of the family was almost sixty years old, older than the girl's grandfather, and they really couldn't bear to watch the girl jump into the fire pit. They said they would not agree to anything, and the old owner of the manor used threats and inducements, but the family still refused to give in. This led to the old owner's subsequent design and frame-up.

This shameless old owner wanted to buy the people and make them his servants, so that he could do whatever he wanted with them. Unexpectedly, his wife found out about his actions, and she sold them out.

The old owner originally wanted to secretly take a concubine, and he was not afraid of his wife finding out since the matter was settled, but he did not expect his wife to find out. He was old, and was afraid that his wife would embarrass him, so he temporarily acquiesced to his wife's behavior. He thought he would talk about it later, and even asked the broker to help keep the concubine!

The old manor owner was not a high-ranking official, but he had some money. The owner of the pawnbroker also looked down on his behavior, thinking that it was shameless for an old man like him to harm a young girl.

The pawnbroker thought that if Su Yuanyuan bought this man, the old manor owner would not dare to do anything even if he knew about it. The old manor owner was a bully and afraid of the strong. He probably knew Su Yuanyuan's background and would not dare to have any thoughts.

After listening to the dental agent's explanation, Su Yuanyuan began to have a favorable impression of this family. They were able to treat their daughter well and do this for her. This alone was enough to make Su Yuanyuan look up to this family.

Su Yuanyuan said to the broker, "I have bought this family. Can you ask them if they are willing to go with me?"

The dealer replied, "It is a great blessing for them that you bought them. No need to ask them."

Su Yuanyuan insisted, "Please ask them for me! I want them to be willing. If they don't want to, I won't buy it. Even if I buy it and find that they are not willing at all, I will return it to them."

When the broker heard what Su Yuanyuan said, he stopped insisting and hurried to ask. The broker did not want to and did not dare to offend Su Yuanyuan.

The reason why Su Yuanyuan asked the dealer to ask the family whether they were willing or not was because she wanted to give them the right to choose. She couldn't explain why, but she just wanted them to make their own choice. Maybe it was because of their behavior, and she wanted to give them some so-called respect! Anyway, Su Yuanyuan just wanted to ask, and wanted them to be willing. If it wasn't willing, she really didn't want to buy it.

When the broker went to ask, the family was very willing to accept the offer when they heard that the daughter of Lord Su from the office was sold. The farm where the family rented the land was very close to a military household area of ​​Su Andong. They had heard of Su Andong, a good man, and in their minds, Su Andong's reputation as an official was as good as it could be. Being sold to such a family was a blessing in disguise for their family, so how could they not be willing! Although they had lost their freedom, they thought they would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future. They would work hard behind the master.

After the agent came back from asking questions, he said to Su Yuanyuan, "Don't worry, they are very willing. When they heard it was your family, they were extremely happy."

Su Yuanyuan said: "They know my father."

The agent said, "I know. I have great respect for Lord Su."

After hearing this, Su Yuanyuan walked up to the family and said, "Have you thought it over? Are you really willing to follow me? It wasn't my father who bought you, but me. I am your master. Moreover, I bought you back not to do any good job. I bought you so that you can farm for me. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

When Old Man Tian heard this, he hurriedly said, "Of course we are happy to follow the young lady, how could we not be willing! Besides, we are not good at other things, but we are good at farming." Old Man Tian thought: How could Lord Su's daughter be bad? It is already good to be able to follow such a master. She will be sold anyway, and it is a blessing to be sold to a good family. Besides, maybe in a few days, the old owner will come to make trouble again after he recovers, so we still have to find a place for the family as soon as possible. Miss Su's place is a good place. Even if the old owner knows that their family was sold to Miss Su, he dare not come to make trouble again.

Seeing that he was sincere, Su Yuanyuan said, "Well, I will be your master from now on."

Old Man Tian and his family hurriedly greeted Su Yuanyuan.

Su Yuanyuan was now much calmer when facing other people's greetings, not as flustered as before. Su Yuanyuan nodded, asked them to stand up and said, "Okay, follow me later! I'll go get the contract first."

Su Yuanyuan said to the broker, "Okay, I'll buy the person. Let's sign the contract! If there are other people like this in the brokerage business in the future, please let me know. I want to buy from them again."

When the broker heard that there was still business to be done, he was naturally happy and replied happily: "Miss Su, don't worry, I will definitely notify you when there is a suitable candidate."

Coming out of the dental clinic, Su Yuanyuan brought such a large family with her, looking quite grand.

Su Yuanyuan first asked the driver to take them back to the manor, and then she went to Lanhuifang. Lanhuifang had a supply channel, and the linen and cotton cloth it bought were much cheaper than those sold outside.

Although Lan Hui Fang doesn't use rough fabrics to make clothes, they still buy some when they purchase goods, just in case. Su Yuanyuan now goes to Lan Hui Fang to buy fabrics, which can save some money. Su Yuanyuan's philosophy has always been to save where you can and spend where you can.
