A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

The other two boxes contained a set of study treasures and an exquisite dagger.

The four treasures of the study can be kept, just in time for Liangzi to use later.

Shen Qingqian liked the dagger very much, as she didn't have a weapon for self-defense. The dagger was small and exquisite, and it was very convenient to carry with her.

When Shen Qingqian opened the last box, her breath stopped. It turned out to be a stack of silver bills!

Shen Qingqian counted it and it was exactly five thousand taels!

She didn't expect that Zhou Susu was so generous. Not only did she give so many good things, but she also gave her so many banknotes!

Shen Qingqian wondered whether she should return the banknote. She saved people out of instinct, and she gladly accepted the thank-you gift, but wasn't it a bit wrong to accept so much money?

Ah Fu saw everything that happened outside just now while standing at the kitchen door.

He was very shocked. He had worked for Landlord Liu before and he thought that Landlord Liu's family was the richest.

He didn't expect that Shen Qingqian actually knew someone who was even richer than Landlord Liu's family!

These days, he is very happy working here, living well and eating well.

Shen Qingfeng and his sisters all treated him as a brother, taking good care of him and showing him enough respect.

Unlike at Landlord Liu's house, Landlord Liu and Liu Shuyao were fine, and Mrs. Liu would call him when she wanted and send him away when she wanted. However, Liu Yuyao simply treated him like a dog, with contempt in her eyes.

Ah Fu was even glad that he was kicked out by the Liu family, otherwise how could he meet Shen Qingfeng and come here to work?

He also realized that the Shen sisters were all good people, and it would definitely not be wrong to follow them.

So I secretly made up my mind to work hard here!

Shen Qingfeng and Shen Qinglan and his mother came back together, they probably met outside!

The brother and sister were surprised to see so many good things.

Without waiting for them to ask, Shen Qingqian told them in detail about the rescue at Zhou Mansion and the people from Zhou Mansion who came to give gifts of thanks today.

Shen Qinglan asked: "But Qingqian, how did you know how to save people?"

Shen Qingqian knew she would ask this and had already thought of an answer.

"Sister, when we first sold the wild boar, didn't I come to town every day to look for a shop?

Once when I was walking around the entrance of Huichuntang, I happened to see the doctor of Huichuntang using this method to save people. I was very curious, so I watched the whole process and remembered it.

When I went to Zhou's house to deliver a doll that day, I saw that little girl Lan'er was in such danger, so I thought of that method. I didn't expect it to work!"

Shen Qinglan said with emotion: "Miss Lan'er and her mother have been here twice. I didn't expect them to be such a wealthy family!"

Shen Qingfeng said: "Little sister, it's a good thing that you can save people, but you should think twice before doing anything in the future. What if, I mean what if the girl can't be saved, you will get into trouble."

Shen Qingqian said: "Second brother, I know what you mean, but I took action because I saw that Lan'er's mother was reasonable. If it was someone who was overbearing and unreasonable, I would just stand by and watch."

Shen Qingfeng nodded and said, "Well, as long as you know it."

The sisters packed up their things and started to busy themselves with the store's business.

Three days later, Shen Qingqian went to Zhou's house. Being a student means acting like a student, and she also prepared the apprenticeship gift carefully.

The Zhou family has everything that can be bought with money, so she took the time to make three relatively innovative gifts.

Of course, Shen Qinglan and Shen Qingfeng also helped a lot.

The first item was two pairs of gloves, one pair each for Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou.

Shen Qingqian had investigated and found that there were no gloves in this place. Winter was coming soon, and having a pair of gloves to keep warm was practical and considerate.

Shen Qingqian drew the pattern for the gloves, and Shen Qinglan helped sew them. The gloves they made were no worse than modern ones.

The second item was a set of mahjong, also drawn by Shen Qingqian and carved out of wood by Shen Qingfeng.

Mr. Zhou's current life can be described as retirement life. With his children not around, playing mahjong every day can add to the fun of life.

The third item was made by her alone, a small cream cake, which was also a food not available in this era.

Shen Qingqian filled two baskets. She knew that Master Zhou was celebrating his birthday a few days ago and there were guests at home, so she prepared some extra.

But when Shen Qingqian arrived at Zhou's house, all the people who came to celebrate the birthday had left, even Zhou Susu and Lan'er had left. Only Master Zhou and his wife, and a few servants were left in the house.

Master Zhou was naturally very happy when Shen Qingqian came over. Seeing the gifts Shen Qingqian brought, Master Zhou felt very novel and praised them repeatedly.

The Zhou Mansion is very big, but there are not many people, so it feels a bit deserted.

Shen Qingqian stayed to have lunch with the two elders, and after lunch, she taught Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou how to play mahjong, and told them to invite their two friends to play together when they were free.

Today was Shen Qingqian's first official visit. Master Zhou did not discuss academic matters with Shen Qingqian. Instead, he gave her a few books and told her to go back and read them first. If she had any questions, she could ask him next time.

Before leaving, Shen Qingqian took out the five thousand taels of silver note and said to Master Zhou: "Teacher, I like the gifts you gave me very much, but I cannot accept this silver."

Master Zhou said: "This silver is given to you by Susu. It is also a token of her love. Please accept it!"

Shen Qingqian said: "But with so much money, I..."

"Okay, you saved Lan'er's life, so these are nothing. If you go back, it would be impolite to us." Master Zhou interrupted her.

Shen Qingqian was not a pretentious person. Since the other party said so, she took the banknote with peace of mind.

Time flies, and it is already mid-October. The weather is getting colder, and people are wearing cotton clothes and trousers.

Shen Qingfeng cleared out the storage room in the backyard of the hot pot restaurant, renovated it, and moved in.

Give up the bedroom to the sisters Shen Qingqian and Shen Qinglan, so that they don’t have to go back to the village every day.

The colder the weather gets, the more people eat hotpot. The store’s revenue has more than doubled compared to the beginning, and they can make more than ten taels of silver every day!

There is only one thing: there are not many vegetables for the hot pot. Apart from sweet potatoes and tofu, there are also cabbages that they have stored in the cellar in advance.

Shen Qingqian thought about going back to Shenjia Village, buying a few acres of land, building a few greenhouses to grow vegetables, and becoming self-sufficient.

It was a gloomy day. After sending off the last table of guests in the store, Shen Qingqian said to Shen Qingfeng, "Second brother, I want to go back to the village and ask the village chief if there is anyone selling land in the village."

Shen Qingqian had mentioned the matter of growing crops in a greenhouse to Shen Qingfeng before, and Shen Qingfeng of course agreed.

For rural people, buying land is a serious matter. No matter whether crops can be grown in the greenhouse or not, having the land means they don’t have to worry.
