The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

After resting for four or five days, Jiang Shian didn't feel much pain as long as his arm was not exerted or bent. Of course, he still had to continue taking the medicine.

The good thing is that he can now get out of bed and move around, and he doesn’t need to be fed. The simplest wooden spoon, although clumsy, can easily feed him into his mouth.

If there was no one else at home, Ji Yinghuai would eat by himself and feed him.

Jiang Shian was very shy about indirect kissing at first, but maybe he was used to being fed, he didn't react that much and just kept opening his mouth for food, dishes and soup.

The next day after getting the title deed back, Ji Yinghuai went to the town to invite a specialized craftsman to take a look and discuss building a workshop.

The land they bought is about the same size as their yard. Because it is right behind the house, they can open a small door and enter directly. When the wall is built, it will be a house with different yards.

Neither of them lives in the back, so there is no need to build it too luxuriously. It will just be enough to shelter from wind, rain and moisture.

According to their request, the master sent the drawings over.

Jiang Shian checked it carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with the other parts, but he still needed to leave more space in the middle for drying, and the side exposed to the sun must not be blocked by the sunlight.

Each small workshop inside must be separated and each has its own function.

The craftsman nodded and wrote down all their requests on paper, on which he drew many sketches of the house, as well as various numbers for area calculations, house heights and styles.

After agreeing that there are no problems, they will be able to bring people to start construction tomorrow. They are all experts in building houses. Since they are not building houses for people to live in, the requirements are not that high. At least some details can be omitted, such as stoves, kang beds, etc.

The master craftsman promised him that it would take less than half a month to complete the construction.

Both of them were satisfied. By then Jiang Shian's arm had healed. Ji Yinghuai paid half of the wages and the other half would be paid after the work was completed.

After the discussion, the master was about to go back as they still had a lot of things to prepare.

Jiang Shian sat under the peach tree and enjoyed the cool breeze. Almost all the space in the yard that could be used for drying things was filled with bamboo tubes.

Inside are all finished soaps that have been dried in the sun. They are just waiting for the final step of demolding them and packing them in the bamboo boxes sent by Carpenter Yang. Then they can be taken to the town to be sold.

Although he was not able to do the work himself, he was still the supervisor, and the people who came to his house to do the work also signed with him, promising not to reveal what they did every day.

Jiang Shi'an knew that human hearts were the most difficult to understand, so one must be on guard against others. Everyone made money from him, but if someone else came along and told him the method and gave him a few taels of silver, there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't be tempted by him.

So he had planned it out from the beginning. In the beginning, he just asked the children to help pick up shells and burn wood ashes. After the adults in the family also came to do the work, he and Ji Yinghuai were also responsible for the following processes.

He did not reveal the entire production process from the beginning. Later, as the demand for the goods increased and the supply could not meet the demand, he had no choice but to find a few trustworthy people, Aunt Huang and Fangzi, to take charge of the most important part.

Two empty rooms were cleared out in the yard to be used for the final stirring, filtering, and packing into bamboo tubes after the saponification reaction was successful.

Only after they are done will someone go in to take the things out and hang them out to dry.

If someone reveals the manufacturing method at home, then the person who revealed the method will be responsible for all subsequent losses. It is written in black and white and also has handprints. No matter where you go, no one will be able to make sense of it.

Once the small workshop is built, people who are responsible for each process will be in the same room, which is a bit like an assembly line, with everyone being responsible for different things.

It is impossible for the villagers to come to his place to work often. During the autumn harvest, they still have to work on their own fields and crops. Then he can go to the dock in the town to find some specialized workers.

It would be even better if we could train these people to become our own specialized workers, so that their reliability and skills would be guaranteed.

Of course, these are things that need to be done later, and now we have only just started to make progress.

The peach tree has produced quite a few peaches, each of which is now as big as a fist. The side exposed to the sun is ripe and red, while the other side is still green and tastes a bit sour.

These trees have different varieties, including pointed peach, nectarine and honey peach.

There are so many peaches in the yard that the branches are almost bent. But the two trees at the gate have many leaves and branches, but not many peaches.

It was people in the village who had fruit trees at home who saw it and told them that they needed to trim the extra branches.

This entrance has been abandoned for many years, with weeds growing everywhere and no one watering it regularly. The nutrients are insufficient for the crops that have just been planted, and the fruits are not sweet. It would be better to repair the entire area so that the fruits can be big and sweet next year.

"Now one more thing has been done. When your hand gets better, you can go to the town to look after the shops." Ji Yinghuai walked in from the door with a smile.

When facing Jiang Shian, he always unconsciously had a slight smile on his face and his words were not cold.

Jiang Shian had been staring at his back. Facing the man's gaze, he narrowed his eyes and revealed a bright and brilliant smile.

"You've been busy with the land deed and building the workshop, and you haven't had a rest. Come and sit down and rest. I'll pour you some tea."

As he spoke, he picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea into the white porcelain cup with a lotus pattern opposite him.

He had just learned how to make tea in the past two days. He read a book and studied it when he had nothing to do. In ancient times, people cultivated their sentiments, and in modern times, people cultivate their character. He thought it was boring when he watched it on TV before, but now he tried it himself and found it quite interesting.

Ji Yinghuai sat down on the stool opposite him and said with a smile: "Since Shi An brewed it for me personally, I can taste it."

He raised his hand and sniffed it, then took a sip. After finishing the cup of tea, he looked at Jiang Shian with some surprise.

Jiang Shian looked at the admiration in his eyes and narrowed his eyes, like a big cat waiting for its owner to stroke its fur.

Ji Yinghuai looked at the boy's eyes that were clearly expecting praise, chuckled in his heart, and asked, "Is it Pu'er?"

Jiang Shian nodded: "It was brought by the clerk sent by Manager Liu to pick up the goods. He said that their manager had just received them and brought them here for us to try."

Ji Yinghuai's smile froze. "We", that was definitely not what Liu said originally.

Although this tea bar also sent the tea for Jiang Shian to taste, it was probably more to irritate him.

To say that this person had any intention towards Jiang Shian was not possible in his opinion, but he had no grudge against him and did not hate him either.

It was more of a teasing, as if this person had evil intentions and they deliberately wanted to see him get upset over these things.

Ji Yinghuai shook his head. He would not be so petty as to think it was just a trick played by an eight-year-old child.

"You must admit that Manager Liu is a really nice guy. At first I thought he was cunning and sly, but I didn't expect that after working with us for such a long time, he would remember to bring us gifts. Ji Er, next time we go up the mountain and hunt a wild deer, keep one. If he comes to visit us again, let him..."

"Crack!"

A sudden sound of breaking made Jiang Shian pause.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the teacup, which had been intact just now, had broken into several pieces.

Ji Yinghuai's hand was still stretched out in the air, with a somewhat cold expression on his face.

Jiang Shian was stunned for just a moment, then he reacted immediately, hurriedly moved closer, and with his left hand pulled Ji Yinghuai's hand holding the cup to his eyes for a closer look.

"Why did it break suddenly? Are you hurt? Is the quality of this cup not very good? Liu Chengqi even said that he specially bought this antique treasure from somewhere..."

Ji Yinghuai's expression had improved a little due to Jiang Shian's caring tone, but when he heard the name being mentioned again, his face darkened again.
