Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Manager Shi acted quickly, and Li Yu didn't have to wait long before thirty people signed the contract.

Li Yu looked at them one by one, and asked a few people at random. Seeing that they were all sincere in wanting to do the work, he put the deeds away, called the people over, and began to teach them how to prune.

These people were used to doing farm work on a daily basis and had a certain foundation. After Li Yu explained it twice, they were able to basically grasp the essentials and knew how long to cut the branches and what to do after cutting them.

Li Yu was very satisfied with this.

*

That afternoon and the following two days, more than thirty people completed the rose cuttings.

Instead of planting the rose branches directly into the ground separately, they first found a plot of land and planted all the cut rose branches together.

And wait until these branches take root and sprout, then plant them separately.

However, there are not many flower branches, and the ten acres of land will definitely not be used up by then. She will think about the rest and plant something else.

Knowing that everyone had been working hard these past two days, Li Yu treated everyone to some snacks and also gave each person a 66-cent bonus packet for the start of work.

Sixty-six cents is not a lot, but it is enough for these tenants to buy 10 to 20 kilograms of rice.

The hired tenants were happier than each other.

Before Li Yu left, they took the initiative to help Li Yu clean the carriage, and also promised to keep an eye on the fields when Li Yu was away.

"We will go around the fields every day from now on and never let anyone steal or damage the flowers."

Li Yu thanked them and got in the car to go home.

*

Having solved another problem, Li Yu felt relaxed for a rare moment.

On the way back, she sat in front of the carriage and looked at the scenery on both sides of the road.

It was already mid-February, and the temperature in Beijing had risen somewhat, but it was not very warm. The wind blew on my face, feeling icy cold.

Han Xiaomei couldn't sit still in the car, so she ran outside to talk to Li Yu.

Han Zheng had been gone for more than forty days. She missed him and asked Li Yu if she knew when he would be back.

Li Yu couldn't give a definite answer. The case in Donghaizhou was serious and the people behind the scenes were fierce. Not to mention her, Han Zheng himself probably didn't know when he would be able to return.

"It should take a while." Li Yu said, "It's his first case, so it won't be that fast."

Han Xiaomei was very disappointed.

*

There was nothing Li Yu could do about this matter so he could only comfort Han Xiaomei and then calmly change the subject.

"Xiaomei, why don't you stay at home and rest this year, read some books, write some words, or do other things if you want to."

Now the family has enough money and the store has enough help, so Han Xiaomei doesn't need to go to the store anymore.

However, Han Xiaomei didn't even think about it and replied firmly: "I don't want it, second sister-in-law, I want to learn things, I want to meet more people, and I want to be like you in the future."

Li Yu was silent for a while, then said, "...You have to know that women will be instructed when doing business."

There were many people in the capital who secretly criticized her. To many people, her behavior was inappropriate as she was seen in public all day long, chatting and laughing with the male customers in the store.

If it weren't for her strong temper, and the fact that Han Zheng was an official and was friends with Princess Jianing, some people would definitely come to her for advice.

Han Xiaomei raised her head and said, "Those people outside are nothing. As long as my second sister-in-law and third brother don't scold me, I'm not afraid."

Li Yu smiled.

She had always hoped that Han Xiaomei would have a strong heart in the future, and now it seemed that she was becoming such a person.

This is good.

but……

Li Yu said: "Xiaomei, when doing business, you will meet all kinds of people and encounter all kinds of things, and some of these people and things need to be solved with knowledge.

Although you study a lot now, it may not be enough. I have an idea. You can study at home one day and go to the store one day. How do you think it is?"

Han Xiaomei thought about it seriously and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to my second sister-in-law."

*

The car drove all the way and soon arrived in the capital.

When Li Yu returned home and parked the carriage in the courtyard, he saw a man lying on the wall.

It’s Boss Bai.

He stood on the ladder and said to Li Yu, "Boss Li, the guard you sent to Beizhou Prefecture to return the things has returned and is here with me. Do you want to talk to him?"

Li Yu looked back.

Lu Xuan understood, went outside and gave Miao Er some instructions, then left the courtyard with Han Xiaomei and Si'er.

Li Yu then turned back and said, "Let him come over."

*

The guard jumped from next door into the courtyard.

He first bowed to Li Yu, and then talked about the situation of returning the wooden boat.

“That day, after I took the things from Madam Li, I rushed back without stopping, but unfortunately, when I arrived at the inn, the family had already left.

I headed towards Beizhou Prefecture, thinking I could catch up with them that day, but they didn’t take the official road, but took a small road. I arrived in Beizhou Prefecture and looked for them for two days before I saw their family on the street.

Li Yu raised an eyebrow: "And then you returned the things to them?"

"It's returned." The guard said, "The girl didn't want to take it at first, but the old man saw the boat and snatched it away, and he still held on to it."

Li Yu became alert: "Did the old man say anything when he was stealing the things?"

The guard shook his head. “He was mumbling something, but his voice was too low for me to hear clearly.”

Li Yu: “…”

"Madam Li, is there something wrong?" the guard asked.

Li Yu came back to his senses and smiled, "No, come to think of it, when we met their family in the inn that night, I forgot to ask their names. Did you ask?"

Guard: "I didn't ask, but the girl took the initiative to tell me. She said their surname is Qi and they are from Donghai Prefecture. She also said that she felt guilty for not being able to repay your kindness, Madam Li. If she has the chance in the future, she will definitely repay you again."

Li Yu thought the girl was too polite, but she cared more about her household registration.

It turns out that their family is from the Donghai Prefecture.

Maybe they are really related to the murdered prefect of Donghai Prefecture.

After sending the guards away, Li Yu immediately went to Prince An's Mansion and the Su family, and told Prince An and Mr. Su the girl's surname.

Both of them said that they would ask their people to check to see if there was anyone with the surname Qi around the governor of Donghai Prefecture.

Because he was busy these days, Li Yu did nothing the next day. He just ate and slept at home. When he didn't want to sleep, he would sit in the yard to bask in the sun, read a book, or play with Ah Fu.

After resting, she found a pen and paper and began to think about what to do next.

She currently has several options.

One is to make facial cream, soap or perfume, the second is to make glass, and the third is to make some popular small toys.

She didn't plan to enter the field of jewelry design, not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't. The craftsmen of Dayu were extremely skilled in jewelry making, and she couldn't match them, so she could only start from other places.
