Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Yue Hongmian checked the gifts and gift list given by the guests yesterday.

Take out what you like or need and use it, or put it away.

All others are packed and registered into the warehouse.

When Zhao Yuanzhen came over, she was checking.

"Sister-in-law, where is my eldest brother?"

"He went to the Ministry of Rites. What can I do for you, little sister?"

"It's okay, I just asked and told you that I'm back. Since my brother is not here, it's the same to tell my sister-in-law."

Zhao Yuanzhen has been here for 7 days and has to go back.

"Little sister, please stay a few more days. I am alone in this backyard, and you can keep me company."

Yue Hongmian still likes Zhao Yuanzhen very much. She is knowledgeable, polite and generous.

"Sister-in-law, I want to accompany you too, but my family is too busy. Come back when I'm done."

"Well, then you should come more often."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. When you come back, you can go to my house. I have reserved a yard for my elder brother and sister-in-law."

"Okay, I'll go visit you when I get home."

"Okay, then I'll wait for my sister-in-law to come over at home."

"Ok."

After saying goodbye, I went to each shop to check for any deficiencies and fill in the gaps.

Riding Xiao Hei back to the village.

The greenhouse and fungus room at home have been built.

The greenhouse is not used for the time being, so I planted some Tremella fuciformis.

I selected 10 farmers and gave them Loyalty Pills and Power Pills. Then I had a 2-day training and bought Tremella fuciformis packages directly from the system mall.

Various shelves for placing mushroom bags have been set up in the Tremella room.

Water the mushroom bags and place them one by one.

Strictly implement the conditions of light, temperature and humidity.

For this purpose, Zhao Yuanzhen also bought a thermometer and humidity meter and placed it in the Tremella room.

Another batch of plums from the orchard has been delivered to the shop.

Zhao Yuanzhen kept 3000 kilograms.

1000 kilograms were eaten by themselves, and the remaining 2000 kilograms were made into preserved fruits.

The cellar on Zhuangzi's side has also been dug.

Zhao Yuanzhen chose the entrance to the cellar under the large warehouse.

This makes it easier to store items and also makes the cellar more hidden.

The tunnel was equipped with spiral stairs and the cellar was dug 3 meters deep.

In order to keep the cellar solid, the main support is made of iron pillars poured with cement.

Three cellars were dug, one for vegetables, one for ice, and one for wine.

Each cellar is over 200 square meters.

Various shelves have been set up in the wine cellar and vegetable cellar to facilitate the subsequent placement of items.

Among them, the technology of ice cellar is relatively difficult.

The ice cellar needs to be dug at least 10 meters deep. First, dig downwards until you reach groundwater, which is the cellar well.

Then, they started digging a horizontal passage a few meters above the groundwater, and started digging a secret cellar room far away from the cellar.

Various drainage pipes are laid under the cellar, and then ice cubes can be placed. Even if the ice cubes melt and turn into water, they will flow into the cellar well along the drainage pipes.

Because of the cellar well, groundwater, and a 10-meter soil layer, the temperature in the ice cellar is basically constant. Even in summer, the temperature is only a few degrees above zero. The ice will not melt so quickly and can be stored for a long time.

Some ice cubes are edible, so Zhao Yuanzhen selected one from the ice cellar and used glass to surround a large glass jar with holes to hold the edible ice cubes.

The other uneatable ice cubes were placed on the straw lotus seeds.

The people who dug the cellar are all our own people, and the people who know about the existence of the cellar are also our own people, they have taken the loyalty pill.

After the ice cellar was ready, Zhao Yuanzhen filled it up with almost 800 cubic meters of ice.

It cost 160 points.

In the future, if any shop needs extra ice, just let the transport team deliver it.

The ceramic workshop is really busy. They have to make bathroom products, small bottles for instant noodles, small bottles for beauty products, as well as wine jars, bottles for chili sauce, and canned bottles that will be made later.

Zhao Yuanzhen called 10 more servants over.

Let Zhang Tao be responsible for teaching.

The hard infrastructure on Zhuangzi's side has finally been completed.

A big door was built on the wall between the living area and the workshop area to separate them.

We also customized identity badges for each workshop, and people would use the badges to enter and exit work.

The working hours are 7-12 am and 2-5 pm.

A small gatehouse was built at the gate, and four people were selected to guard the gate, two in a shift, divided into day and night shifts.

A square was dug out on the door and inlaid with glass, but a wooden partition was set up inside. People inside could lift the partition to see outside the door, but people outside the door could not look inside at will.

I customized several clock-in books and registered everyone's name in them. Everyone has to clock in and out when leaving get off work according to the date.

Normally in the workshop, the person in charge also has to punch in and then check his time with the security guard's clock-in book.

This can effectively prevent some people from not working and being lazy.

All workshop employees were issued work clothes. After work, they had to go back to the dormitory to change clothes and were not allowed to run back and forth in work clothes.

Work clothes must be kept clean and new ones will be issued regularly.

Apart from the working time, the rest of the time is free time.

But the more skills you learn, the more monthly income you will earn.

For example, literacy, swordsmanship, and archery.

However, technical exchanges among people in different workshops are strictly prohibited.

Once discovered, severe punishment will be imposed.

The leisure area on the second floor of the cafeteria has been opened.

There are 10 billiard tables, as well as archery and swordplay.

The cafeteria also has two more optional dishes. If you don’t like the free dishes provided by the cafeteria, you can pay to buy the cafeteria’s extra dishes.

Both dishes were set with meat dishes.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't expect to make any money from his servants, so he charged the cost plus one cent.

If you feel greedy occasionally, you can order some to reward yourself.

Monthly wages are paid on the 1st of every month, and each person is given three days off.

Zhao Yuanzhen really thinks she is a good boss and does not exploit her employees at all.

I have been a hard-working worker myself, and I don’t want to tear up other people’s umbrellas.

There are a lot of empty spaces in the factory area, so many flower beds have been built and many trees have been planted to provide sun protection.

The main trees selected are Sophora japonica, sycamore, soapberry, rosewood, huanghuali, and agarwood.

I chose large-sized Sophora japonica, Gleditsia sinensis, and Chinese sycamore trees. The other large-sized ones were too expensive, so I just bought saplings.

I don’t know when these trees will grow into useful materials, so I’ll leave them as a legacy for future generations.

Zhao Yuanzhen chose two single rooms on the second floor of the manor and connected them together to make them into a bedroom and study.

Zhang Qingyan chose the house next to her.

The remaining servants basically live on the first floor.

On Zhuangzi's side, all the big and small matters have been arranged properly, and what needs to be built has been completed, and everything is on track.

The chicks and ducklings have started laying eggs.

The chicks and ducklings were half-grown when I bought them. Now, after more than two months of raising them, they have started laying eggs.

Collect all the chicken and duck eggs every day, leaving enough to eat, and pickle the rest.

Qian Xiaohui taught the cook how to pickle delicious salted duck eggs.

With more than 300 chickens, we can now completely achieve egg freedom.

The canteen also offers free windows for tea eggs, braised eggs, etc.

Eggs were also supplied to the kitchens of shops in the city.

There was never a shortage of eggs at home.

Today is June 6th. If Zhao Yuanlan and the others don’t come, she will leave and go to build her beautiful Yellow River ferry.

I picked another batch of strawberries. There are not as many of them as other fruits, so I won’t sell them and just eat them myself.

I kept 1000 kilograms for myself, and made the rest into dried strawberries and strawberry jam.

The plums have not been picked yet, and the apricots are ripe. I keep some of these two for myself and dry them. The rest are sent to the shop in batches for sale.

On the 11th, Zhao Yuanzhen took people to the orchard to pick fruit and saw the carriage from afar.

It was Zhao Yuanlan and Yue Hongmian who came.

They didn't bring many people with them, just the coachman and Yue Hongmian's personal maid.

"Brother, sister-in-law, you are back. Let's go to the yard."

"Hello uncle, hello aunt."

"Hello everyone, little sister, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Yuanlan saw them standing at the gate from afar, and they were definitely not here to greet him.

"I was planning to go to the orchard to pick fruit."

"Picking fruit? Can I go with you?"

Yue Hongmian has never had this experience and is quite yearning for it.

"Sure, if you want to go we can go together."

Zhao Yuanzhen waited for them to put the things in her yard, then took them to the orchard and prepared fruit baskets for them.

"I wanted to come here yesterday, but I had something urgent to do, so I came here today."

Zhao Yuanlan explained.

"Well, it's okay. You can come any day."

The orchard was not far from home and we got there quickly.

Currently ripe are plums, apricots, strawberries, and watermelons, cantaloupes, cantaloupes, peaches, etc. They will begin to ripen in a few days.

Zhao Yuanlan and Yue Hongmian had never picked cotton before, so they found it very novel and joined the group, picking for the entire morning.

Zhao Yuanzhen was afraid that they would be tired, so she went back early at noon.

Qian Xiaohui has prepared a large table of delicious food.

Many of the dishes, combinations, and ingredients were things Yue Hongmian had never tried before, and she was full of praise after eating them.

I originally thought that my younger sister's home was in the countryside and might be a little rough, but I didn't expect that I was too inexperienced. This is not a village at all. My younger sister's home is clearly a villa.

After lunch, everyone went for a nap. Zhao Yuanzhen was afraid that Yue Hongmian would feel hot, so she specially prepared a jar of ice cubes for her.

After lunch break, I finally had time to take a good look at the yard. A quick glance in the morning revealed that the flowers, plants and trees in the yard were vying for beauty.

Especially the big garden with lots of flowers.

Zhao Yuanzhen asked people to put a few rocking chairs and a large ice jar in the corridor, as well as a few small tables, and washed some fruits at home and put them away.

Seeing that Yue Hongmian had woken up, I asked her to come over here to enjoy the cool air.

"Sister-in-law, it's cooler here."

"Okay, I'll be right over."

"Sit here, sister-in-law."

Yue Hongmian followed Zhao Yuanzhen's example and sat on the rocking chair.

"Sister-in-law, there are fruits here. What do you want to drink? We can make it at home. There are drinks, sugar water, and juice."

"Sugar water? Is this the store run by you, little sister?"

"Yes, that's right. Sister-in-law, if you want to eat something in the future, send someone to tell us and ask the shopkeeper to deliver it to your house."

"Little sister, you are amazing. Those sweet soups are delicious. Are they all recipes you came up with?"

Those sweet soups are delicious and you can’t stop eating them.

In the crystal clear syrup, various fruits, pearls and other ingredients are clearly visible. Whether it is refreshing lemonade, sweet strawberry juice, or various frozen foods with a delicate taste, each syrup is so unique and wonderful.

After tasting it, you will feel a sense of satisfaction and happiness, and you can’t help but want another bowl!
