After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Ye Erlang felt something was wrong and stood up to close the door, worried that someone would see Ye Qing eavesdropping.

After closing the door, I could vaguely hear some noise just now, but now I can hear nothing.

Before Ye Erlang opened his mouth to ask, he saw Ye Qing pick up a teacup and stick it to the wall between the two boxes.

Ye Erlang picked up a teacup and, imitating Ye Qing, leaned against the wall.

As soon as he lay down, Ye Erlang opened his eyes wide in shock and really heard it clearly.

I listened for a while and found that they were only talking about the scenery of Wu'an City and there was nothing secretive.

~Dongdong~

"Sir, your order is ready."

The noise at the door startled the two of them.

Ye Qing and the other man quickly sat back in their seats, put the teacups back, looked around to see if there was anything unusual, and then asked the waiter to come in.

"Sir, here are the crystal pork elbow and braised lion's head you ordered. These are the two cold dishes sent to you by the shopkeeper. The dishes are served. Please enjoy your meal."

"Young man, thank the shopkeeper for me." Ye Erlang said politely.

"I will definitely pass on this message to you. I'm going to leave now. Please come and see me if you need anything."

The two watched the waiter leave the room and carefully close the door.

"Qingya, what did you just hear? Your face changed." Ye Erlang asked in a low voice.

"Second brother, let's eat first and talk when we get back." Walls have ears, and Ye Qing was worried that someone might hear it.

The two of them ate very quickly, and the pork elbow, which was usually delicious, was not tasty at all.

Both of them had lost their appetite and most of the four dishes were left. Ye Erlang asked the waiter to help pack them and took his sister back to the yard.

The two walked out of the box and took a look at the box next door. The door was closed and they couldn't see what was going on inside.

It was dark outside, and Ye Erlang rushed home with his sister. This place was not far from the yard, and they could get home in the time of an incense stick.

Arriving at the yard, Ye Qing took a curious look around and was then pulled to the main room by Ye Erlang, who had been holding back for a long time.

"Qingya, what did you hear in Fu'an Pavilion just now? Your face changed."

Ye Qing organized his words and connected the fragments he had just heard.

"Brother, I just heard Lord Wu say that the court is vigorously developing water transport and wants to build a wharf within the jurisdiction of Wu'an City, but the location has not been chosen yet."

Ye Erlang was a little confused, "What does this have to do with us?"

Ye Qing looked at Ye Erlang speechlessly and explained to him the interests involved.

"Where to build the dock is not a big deal for Lord Wu, but it is very important for the local people. After the dock is built and there are ships docked, people will definitely eat and drink, and the money will be earned by the local people."

Ye Erlang thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. When a ship came, people were needed to carry the goods, so the villagers didn't have to go far to find work.

Ye Qing watched Ye Erlang figure it out, and then continued to talk about the rest of the story.

"Brother, what do you think about building the dock over there? We can build some houses and turn it into an inn, so we can make a lot of money."

Ye Erlang's breathing became rapid. As long as enough ships docked there, maybe their village could develop into a town.

"Qingya, this is great news. Let's go back and tell the villagers so they can make plans early."

Ye Qing looked at Ye Erlang and felt a little amused and helpless as he saw how he wished he could go back right away.

"Second brother, there are so many villages along the river, and we don't know where the dock will be built. If it's not built near us, these are just wishful thinking."

Ye Erlang's excited heart calmed down. Their village had no power or influence, so how could this benefit fall on them?

"Qingya, go to bed and forget about this good thing. Those people invited Lord Wu to dinner today, it must be for this matter. We can't snatch it away."

Ye Erlang spent the whole afternoon strolling around, going through excitement and disappointment, and now his eyelids feel as if they weigh a thousand pounds.

Ye Qing agreed perfunctorily and told his second brother to go to bed quickly.

She went to wash up and returned to the room Ye Erlang had prepared for her.

The room was cleaned tidy and the quilt was new. It must have just been dried in the sun and it smelled like sunshine.

Ye Qing lay in bed, not feeling sleepy at all.

This is an opportunity for her to realize her dream of owning thousands of acres of fertile land sooner. Even if there is only a slight chance, she will try it.

The next morning, when Ye woke up, Ye Erlang was no longer at home, and there was breakfast left for her on the table.

Ye Qing washed up, had breakfast, and walked around the yard. This yard was really nice. Although it was not big, it had a main room and side rooms, which was completely enough for the young couple to live in.

After Ye Qing finished his stroll, he didn't have the heart to think about how to pack up. He just wanted to go back to the village and discuss the matter with someone.

She locked the door, took the things she bought yesterday, and went to the pastry shop to find Ye Erlang.

When they arrived at the pastry shop, it was full of people and Xuzhou warmly entertained the guests.

Ye Qing went in and put the things down. When Xuzhou saw her, he didn't bother to say hello and started to serve the pastries to the guests.

Ye Qing came over to help. She helped pack the pastries while Xuzhou collected the money. The two of them worked together and things went much faster.

After a while, the people in the shop left with the cakes, satisfied.

Ye Qing and Xu Zhou finally had time to talk, "Has the business in the store always been so good?"

"Today is the market day, there are more people. Usually there aren't so many people."

"Brother Xuzhou, can you handle this by yourself?"

"It's OK. We're familiar with it. They're all regular customers. We just have to wait a while. No one says anything."

The two chatted for a while, and Ye Qing went to the backyard to find Ye Erlang.

Ye Erlang was instructing several people to make pastries. Ye Qing watched for a while and found that one of the three people did not work very fast and the pastries he made looked ugly.

Ye Erlang gave him individual guidance several times, but with little success.

After Ye Erlang finished his work, Ye Qing quickly told him that he wanted to go home.

"Have you had breakfast? I'll take you home."

"I've eaten it. No, I can go back by myself. The store still needs you."

"Don't worry, I've arranged everything."

Ye Erlang loaded the pastries prepared for his family into the car, said goodbye to Xuzhou, and took his sister back.

On the way, Ye Qing told Ye Erlang about the problems he found in the store in the morning.

"Brother, that Dongzi is not suitable for making pastries."

Ye Erlang also discovered, "He is a little slow, but we should train him slowly, he is quite capable."

"Then how is his mouth? Can you tell me?"

"He is a happy guy who likes to make everyone happy. Even if he works slowly, no one will mind him."

"Let him try working at the counter. Just because he's not suitable for making pastries doesn't necessarily mean he's not suitable for other positions."

Ye Erlang was a little hesitant. Xuzhou was doing well, and if he sent another person there, he was worried that Xuzhou would have some ideas.

"If we want to open a branch in Xuzhou, we must train more people here."

Ye Erlang suddenly understood that Xuzhou would definitely be willing if he was allowed to be the manager of a branch store.

"Qingya, please give me some suggestions. Are there any other problems in the store?" Ye Erlang asked his sister while driving the car.
