Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Liu Donglai just thought that his daughter made some extra so that he could take it with him to eat on the road.

"That's great. Dad will save some for me to eat. I can show it off to others when I get home!"

Xu Ruolan was clear that in order to prepare food for her father, her daughter had asked most of the servants in the yard to help.

But since her daughter didn't tell her, she pretended not to know.

Both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much, and Butcher Gao became even more curious about the Liu family.

A few months ago, when the little girl went to him to buy meat, she was still wearing patched coarse cloth. Not long after that, he built a new house and hired servants.

Look at the food on the table, whether it is beef or mushrooms, they are only served to guests by some wealthy families in the town, especially mushrooms. After the season changes, they are only sold in Zuiyunxuan. It is said that a plate costs dozens or even hundreds of coins.

There was also the old man with gray hair. Although he was wearing a cotton-padded coat, he looked like he came from a wealthy family. He even showed some respect towards the Liu family during his conversation.

I think the Liu brothers must have encountered some problems outside.

If Liu Xu knew that Butcher Gao was thinking this way, she would definitely say that you can be bolder.

Their family is now considered an official family, and a family with some assets.

After dinner, the men sat and chatted while digesting their food, while the others went about their own business.

Liu Xu had some other ideas in his mind, so he went back to his study.

If there is blood sausage, there should be bacon and sausage. Although people in Yongshun Prefecture also make bacon, that is done by the people in order to store the meat for a longer time.

In her previous life, when her grandmother was still alive, she would make all kinds of preserved meat every year, and they all tasted delicious. Maybe she could give it a try, and then build a workshop and make these into Liujia Village specialties.

After all, relying solely on mushrooms is fine in the short term, but after a long time, it is inevitable that smart people will figure it out, and the most that can be achieved is just a difference in yield.

There is a good saying in China: one person’s wealth is not real wealth; only when everyone is rich is it real wealth.

Her family will not always be in Liujia Village, not to mention herself, let’s just talk about her father.

Mu Lingxuan said that if nothing unexpected happens, he will be promoted to lieutenant general when he returns, and his future will surely not stop there.

Although there are my uncle and the Chang family, family is also very important in this era.

Most of the villagers in Liujia Village were her clan members, and they were worth her help. Only when everyone in their clan had a promising future would her father be more confident in the future.

To make preserved meat, you need to raise poultry and livestock, and poultry can lay eggs...

She was lying on the table writing and drawing, and didn't even notice when her father came in.

Looking at what his daughter wrote on the paper, Liu Donglai felt mixed emotions.

People always say that good fortune comes after a disaster, isn't that the case with his Baoer? His mother almost killed her with a stick, but it also gave her a wonderful experience.

His daughter was not only pretty but also kind-hearted. She did not blame the person who hurt her. Their family's life became better, and she brought the whole family and the whole village with her. Now that he had a new idea to make money, he was thinking about the villagers.

[Liu Xu: Dad, your filter is a bit thick! ]

When Liu Xu finished writing the plan, she looked up and saw her father. She was surprised and asked, "Dad, when did you come? Why didn't you call me?"

"Dad has just been here for a short time, and I didn't interrupt you because I saw you were busy." Liu Donglai touched his daughter's head and said gently.

"Dad, please sit down." She pulled Liu Donglai to sit on the sofa in her study and asked, "Aren't you going to the river to help this afternoon?"

"The housekeeper has asked Liu Ming and others to help. Dad will stay at home with you this afternoon." Liu Donglai took a sip of the tea poured by his daughter and said:

"Dad just went to the kitchen. Why did you make so much? If Dad can't finish it, it will be given to others."

"That can't be! Not to mention the cold weather in the North, even if it wasn't, the dried meat alone, as long as it's not damp, will be fine for a month or two. As for the braised meat and blood sausage, you're going to be promoted now, right? Give some to those who have good relationships with you."

"And there's more than just yours in there. There's also Brother Huaijin's. When the time comes, she'll bring it back and let the Marquis and the others have a taste."

"Oh, by the way, there are still some chili peppers at home. We happened to have a lot of butter yesterday. I asked Granny Fang and Aunt Yan to fry them. I'll bring some for you and Brother Huaijin, and keep the rest for yourself."

Liu Donglai felt uncomfortable listening to his daughter mentioning Brother Huai Jin all the time.

He wanted to say something, but when he looked at his daughter's size, he held back. Maybe he was overthinking. His daughter was only 7 years old. What could she understand?

"Baoer, your mother told me that you bought new grain seeds from the foreigners, and the yield is extremely high. Is it true?" Liu Donglai has been busy for several days since he came back. What's more, he hasn't even been to the new courtyard next door.

"Yes, that's right. Not only is the yield high, but it is also cold-resistant and drought-resistant. I have made an agreement with Brother Huaijin that after the crops in the greenhouse are harvested, I will give him some seeds and he can take them to the northern border to plant. Aren't there military households over there? When you have these, you won't go to war hungry!"

Liu Xu was not so selfless. With these, the soldiers would be well fed and more courageous in battle. Killing one more enemy would mean more safety for her father. There were also the uncles and brothers in Liujia Village, and brother Huaijin...

"Dad's baby is not only smart, but also a righteous man!"

"Hehe, that's because of what daddy and mommy taught us! Daddy, come on, Xuer will take you to see our greenhouse. I have opened up more than 20 acres of land next to it." As he said that, he pulled his father out.

Liu Dongzi was happy to do so. He was leaving tomorrow, so he decided to spend more time with his wife and children.

"Call your mother along, Dad. I heard from your mother that she has not even visited the building since it was completed!"

"You're right, it's true! Why don't we take the two Dun'er with us? It's not cold over there either. Let's go and inspect our planting base!" As he spoke, he pulled Liu Donglai to the main house to find Xu Ruolan.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Donglai and his wife came to the new yard with their daughter, holding two chubby children wrapped like dumplings in their arms.

"Dad, Mom, how is it? Isn't it spectacular? Only a small half of these sheds are planted with crops. I'm going to keep the remaining half for transplanting corn and pepper seedlings."

Liu Xu said as he walked, "The straw mats here are movable. When the weather is warm or there is sunshine, they can be rolled up so that the crops inside can photosynthesize. Well, that means basking in the sun, so that the crops can grow well."

"The temperature in the shed now simulates that of spring and autumn. When it blooms, the corn will have to be raised to summer temperature, but potatoes will be a little more troublesome..."

Liu Donglai and his wife were very surprised when they heard their daughter talking.

Apart from the fact that Xu Ruolan was a latecomer, Liu Donglai was considered an authentic farmer. His daughter's thoughts and words seemed to open the door to a new world for them.

"I plan to keep a few corn plants in the greenhouse and try artificial pollination to see if I can increase the yield. When corn is widely planted in the future, I can also try it by planting seeds that have adapted to local environments. Maybe I will have a chance to grow a higher-yielding variety!"

The couple looked at each other, their eyes filled with even greater surprise. Was their daughter too... Although her ideas were a little far-fetched, for some reason, the couple did not want to stop her.

Liu Donglai was thinking in his heart, although his daughter's idea was a little unbelievable, what if it worked? He had to work harder, otherwise...if his daughter really succeeded in the future, he was afraid that he would not be able to protect his daughter.

Liu Xu didn't know all this. Her parents "knew" her secret, so she had no scruples and spoke freely in front of them.
