It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

"Boss, my son has gone to call someone and will be here soon. I have a few things to do and I need your advice."

Weng Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Changqing and said, "You guys sit down first, I'll be back soon. Aunt Feng, please help entertain them."

"Just take care of your own business." Lin Changqing had never seen Feng Gu and didn't know that this was the person given by Yang Shuo.

Feng Gu knew that Lin Changqing was the son of the Marquis of Zhongxin, but she had already left the capital. There was no need to chat with the girl. Whether she knew about the Yang family's affairs or not, she could not help. She could only pray for the general silently in her heart. After the tea was served, she talked about some interesting things in the farm to pass the time.

......

"The third grandmother doesn't want to sell the recipe, saying it's something passed down from her ancestors and needs to be passed down to future generations. Her son is willing to sell it."

Weng Xiaoxiao thought about it and said, "Then let them use the formula to invest in the company. They can get two shares. The more the workshop earns, the more they get. It depends on their own considerations. No matter which one, we have to sign the contract after the agreement is reached, so as to avoid causing trouble with empty words."

"Yes, boss, I will explain it to them clearly. Construction has already started. Now is the slack season for farming, and we can work in exchange for the opportunity to use cattle this year. Everyone is very enthusiastic."

This was Xiao Kong's idea, and it was indeed a great idea. "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Liu. You must keep a close eye on things. The cows haven't arrived yet, but you need to make arrangements in advance about who will take care of them. There are a lot of things to do this year, so I'll increase your monthly salary by one or two taels."

When Liu Yuan heard this, he quickly bowed to Weng Xiaoxiao and said, "Thank you, boss. I will work hard."

With three taels of silver a month, where can I find such a good thing? I am still very respectable in front of the villagers, and everyone who sees me will take the initiative to greet me. Now that I have an extra tael of silver, I can send my eldest grandson to school without worry.

"We also need to prepare manpower. How many people are needed for each process? How many people are needed in total? Please calculate. This is for making food, so we can only recruit healthy people. If we can't recruit enough people in the farm, we can recruit from nearby villages. The people must be reliable."

"Yes, yes. Let me make a list and do the math. As long as we pay enough, we won't have any trouble finding people. I'll make the preliminary selection, and you'll decide on the final one."

Weng Xiaoxiao agreed, but there were too few capable helpers and she had to do many things herself.

"Boss, there is one more thing..."

"Boss, everyone is here." Liu Hongsheng knocked on the door and came in.

"Uncle Liu, what else do you want to do?"

Liu Yuan shook his head. "I'm not in a hurry. Let the boss go meet everyone first."

Weng Xiaoxiao didn't think much about it and got up and went to the yard.

......

Five horse-drawn carriages have been prepared, and the first choice for the coachman will naturally be the villagers in the village.

When they heard that they would be given two taels of silver every month, they all rushed to sign up, and in the end five strong and healthy people were selected.

Renting a field to farm is not easy, but it is just enough to eat. Even if you go out to earn some money during the slack season, you will spend it all during the week. Now there is a way to make a lot of money, who doesn't want to go? Even if you know that it is not easy to go out, and it may even be dangerous.

"Everyone, be quiet. This is Chen Cheng, the manager of the caravan I invited. He used to work in the escort agency and has some experience. From now on, he will make the decisions on all matters of the caravan. A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. If you don't follow the rules, you will be a mess. Not to mention making money, your safety will not be guaranteed. When you are out, you must obey the arrangements. If you don't obey the arrangements, you will not be allowed to participate in any work in the future."

"Yes."

"take note of it."

Several people agreed firmly.

"You are going on a long journey, so just focus on your work and don't worry about your family. Uncle Liu, when these families need cows, they don't need to draw lots. Just put them in the front and take care of them."

"What's so cool?" Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone else didn't know about this yet, and I just told Liu Yuan about it. "I'm going to buy a few buffaloes for the farm. If you want to use them, you can pay for them, or use them as labor to pay off the debt."

"This is great."

"Yes, with the cow, I don't have to worry about farming at home."

Everyone was very excited; they were the backbone of their families, and without labor, farming would definitely be affected.

"Thank you, boss." A man came over and bowed to express his gratitude.

When the man raised his head, Weng Xiaoxiao realized it was Dasha, "Uncle, you've been away for a long time, do you have enough help at home?"

"Originally it was not enough. My eldest son is only fifteen, and I was reluctant to let him work so hard. However, with the oxen, they can do the work. I go out to earn money and save it for my son to marry a wife."

Weng Xiaoxiao nodded, "Take care and be safe."

Looking at Chen Cheng, Weng Xiaoxiao said, "Brother Chen, you should stay at the manor for the next two days and get to know everyone. They have never been far away from home, so if they have anything to tell you, please take care of it. You can also teach them some driving skills."

Chen Cheng nodded. They were all honest men and easy to get along with.

Fearing that Lin Changqing would be too bored staying alone, Weng Xiaoxiao did not get involved in the subsequent affairs and took Lin Changqing for a walk around the village.

It wasn't long before Liu Yuan's second son came over to call for help.

"Master, the food is ready, please come over."

Weng Xiaoxiao responded loudly.

"Boyu, try some authentic farm food, it tastes pretty good."

"You don't have to be so polite to me. I've been working as a minor official for the past two years, and I've been in contact with low-level craftsmen. Speaking of which, I've prepared something good for you. I guarantee you'll like it."

Weng Xiaoxiao waved her hand. "A gift of goose feathers from a thousand miles away is worth more than a token of affection. Whatever you brought from far away is good."

When they arrived, Chen Cheng, Feng Gu and others had already sat down and waited.

Everyone stood up and invited the two to the main seat. Lin Changqing's nobleness was not set off by his clothes, but was cultivated from childhood. One could tell at a glance that he was of high status.

After everyone was seated, Liu Hongsheng went out to serve the dishes.

The first person to come in was a little girl in red, who was pretty and fair-skinned. When she saw a strange man, she lowered her head shyly.

"Are there any relatives coming to Uncle Liu's house?"

"She's not a relative, she's a girl from the Sun family in the village, her name is Xiaohua, she came here to help with the cooking, she's very skillful."

Lin Changqing and Weng Xiaoxiao looked at each other with a hint of teasing in their eyes, and they both felt that they were here to see each other.

"There are too many men here, don't let the girl serve the dishes, I'll go and help." Feng Gu was not doing this for nothing. No matter who she was targeting, it was just showing kindness for no reason.

When Liu Yuan heard Feng Gu say this, his heart skipped a beat. Feng Gu's words were exactly what the boss meant.

"Why would you need Aunt Feng? The second brother can go and lend a hand."

They are all smart people, so just stop at the right point.

However, after dinner, Liu Yuan still gritted his teeth and led Xiaohua and her mother to Weng Xiaoxiao. He was so annoyed that he couldn't stand it anymore.

Weng Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Yuan and asked silently.

"Master, Xiaohua, Xiaohua loves you and wants to stay by your side, even as a maid."

Weng Xiaoxiao really found this matter a little unbelievable. How could someone like this be chosen?
