The princess is farming with her baby, daddy, come find me soon
Chapter 4: Looking at the fields, it’s all about money!
Step on the stool next to the bathtub and lift your legs into the hot water.
Gu Manzhu moaned in comfort.
I haven't had a single moment of rest from yesterday until now, and my body is extremely tired.
He soaked for a while with his eyes closed, then picked up a ladle and poured water over himself.
Suddenly, my hand felt a stone in front of my neck.
Looking down, I saw it was a jade pendant.
The slender fingers pulled up the jade pendant, and the fingertips felt the uneven surface.
I held the jade pendant up to the light and found words engraved on it.
The word "Ming" is engraved on the front, and "Yuzhi" is engraved on the back.
Gu Manzhu leaned her head against the bucket.
Thinking back to the seemingly gentle man last night.
He said his name was Ming Nanluan.
This jade pendant does not belong to the original owner.
There is also the word "Ming" engraved on it, which was left by Ming Nanluo.
He pursed his lips.
I really don't understand why he left in the middle of the night but left behind this jade pendant.
"Ouch!" He slapped the water surface in anger.
Gu Manzhu decided not to think about it anymore. If she was given the money, she would keep it. She wouldn’t be short of a piece of meat anyway.
After bathing, Gu Manzhu and Xiao Liu asked for a bronze mirror.
The bronze mirror here is very blurry, but you can still see clearly.
The person in the mirror still looks the same as in the previous life, with the same fair and tender skin.
But the original owner had been abused for many years and was very thin.
"Hey!" What is this on the forehead?
Gu Manzhu leaned closer to the mirror and saw clearly that it was a crescent birthmark.
Looking at himself in the mirror, his thin eyebrows frowned.
It seems I need to take good care of myself, my body is really too weak.
Gu Manzhu lay on the bed and slowly closed her eyes.
Have a good night's sleep...
"Uncle Xu, can you take me to see the fields of the four villages?"
After breakfast early in the morning, Gu Manzhu started pestering the old housekeeper.
Xu Bo was laughing.
"Okay girl, go pack up and we'll set off. We should be able to finish looking at all the fields before the sun sets today."
"Okay, Uncle Xu, I'll go clean it up right away."
The wheels rolled over the uneven mud, and Gu Manzhu, who was sitting in the carriage, swayed.
She never thought that one day she would ride in a donkey-drawn carriage. It was too slow.
Xu Bo, who was sitting next to her, seemed to notice Gu Manzhu's embarrassment.
"Girl, all the horses in the carriage shop have been rented out today. Only the donkey is left. I'm sorry to have let you down."
"No, no, it's better to ride in a donkey cart than to walk by myself." Gu Manzhu waved her hands quickly.
The donkey cart traveled for about an hour before reaching Liudong Village.
"Girl, we're here," Xu Bo shouted, waking Gu Manzhu from her sleep.
"Let's go down and take a look."
"Girl, be careful."
Gu Manzhu jumped off the donkey cart and the first thing that came into view was a rice field.
The rice ears in July have already produced plump grains, waiting for the autumn harvest in August.
"Uncle Xu, who is sowing the seeds in our fields?"
"This piece of land is leased to the villagers of Liudong Village, who collect 40% of the grain every year."
Forty percent, almost half less than that of landlord Zhu.
"Uncle Xu, after the autumn harvest, tell those tenant farmers that our land is no longer for rent, but we will hire farm workers. We will pay ten taels per mu of land per year. Do you agree?"
Gu Manzhu thought for a moment, then turned and spoke to Xu Bo.
Xu Bo hesitated for a moment.
"Girl, what are we going to plant in these fields?"
Gu Manzhu pointed at the fields with great interest.
"Uncle Xu, I plan to plant medicinal herbs on these fields. The price of medicinal herbs is many times higher than that of grain."
Medicinal herbs! Xu Bo's eyes lit up.
"Yes, young lady, I will tell these tenant farmers later."
After looking at the fields in Liudong Village, Gu Manzhu thought about visiting Liuxi Village and Shangshan Village.
Let’s not go to Xiashan Village. The original owner has lived there for more than ten years, so it is inevitable that he will be recognized.
She didn't want to have anything to do with those weird relatives anymore.
We got on the donkey cart and headed north to Shangshan Village.
Gu Manzhu felt like the donkey cart swayed for more than half an hour before it finally stopped.
Shangshan Village has the most fields, and there is also a house in Shangshan Village.
It's not as good as the house in town, but it has a big yard and it's a one-story building.
Several acres of fields are right next to the house, and some are farther away.
There is a hill not far from the house.
Gu Manzhu fell in love with this place at first sight.
This house is located at the very edge of Shangshan Village. Usually, few villagers come here, so it is very quiet.
After visiting the fields in Shangshan Village, I went to see the fields in Liuxi Village. The conditions were almost the same.
Gu Manzhu and Xu Bo just returned to the town before sunset.
Xiao Liu, who didn't go with them, prepared dinner at the house.
Gu Manzhu and Xu Bo were served hot meals as soon as they entered the door.
"The feeling of being full is so comfortable," Gu Manzhu said with great emotion after taking the last sip of soup.
Xu Bo, who was eating at the same table, had a smile in his eyes.
He poured a cup of tea and handed it to Gu Manzhu: "Drink some tea to clear your mouth."
"Thank you, Uncle Xu." Gu Manzhu took it with a smile.
"Uncle Xu, my name is Gu Manzhu. Please stop calling me girl. It sounds awkward."
"It won't work, the etiquette cannot be abolished."
"Uncle Xu, you see, calling me a girl is too strange. Why don't you call me something else? You can call me Manzhu."
"Please don't torture me, old slave."
"Oh, it doesn't matter. I was born into a farming family. What's the big deal?"
"From now on, I will call you Miss Manzhu."
Seeing Xu Bo's stubborn look, Gu Manzhu gave up.
"Uncle Xu, I want to plant crops on the ten acres of land in Xiashan Village, but just like the fields in other villages, we won't rent them out but will hire workers. What do you think?"
Gu Manzhu sat up straight and spoke to Xu Bo in a serious tone.
Xu Bo thought about it.
"Okay, I will explain it to the tenant farmers in advance. I'm afraid it will be a problem to get the medicinal seeds. There are very few medicinal seeds for sale in Yuming Country, let alone in Dali Town."
"I'll take care of the medicine, but I'll have to trouble you with the other things."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. This is the duty of this old slave."
"Then I will leave first. You have been busy all day, so you should rest early." After saying this, Xu Bo stood up, bent slightly, and left.
Gu Manzhu finished the tea in her hand.
I was thinking of going to see how the herbs in the medicine field are growing in the evening.
After taking a bath, Gu Manzhu lay on the bed and her consciousness entered the medicine bracelet.
The medicinal seeds that were planted last night have now grown into seedlings.
According to the time, it will take about half a month for the seeds to mature. It is just after the autumn harvest, so we can plant some cold-resistant medicinal herbs.
Gu Manzhu sprinkled a thin layer of fertilizer on the medicinal herbs that had grown into seedlings, and then poured water on them.
Looking at the four acres of land with some harvest.
Gu Manzhu thought about it and turned over the other four acres of land adjacent to the four acres of land and planted other kinds of medicinal herbs.
Gu Manzhu, who was exhausted, looked at the eight acres of land in front of her.
I am so happy, this is all money!
I went to the pharmacy and cleaned myself up.
Gu Manzhu let out a long sigh and finally felt a little better. Farm work is really not a job for humans!
