I have been farming since I crossed over.

Lu Jintang hit Lin Dong hard several times before stopping.

Lin Dong did not dodge, nor did he fight back. He waited until Lu Jintang finished beating him before saying, "Uncle, what should I do? Why am I so stupid? What should I do with my mother?"

Lu Jintang said, "You stay here first and wait for Grandfather to come. Just do your own thing these few days and go to the fields with everyone else to plant vegetables, okay?"

Lin Dong nodded in agreement.

Lu Jintang said: "Let's leave this matter at that for now. Let's talk about another matter next."

Hu Buyan quickly sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and prepared to listen to the instructions.

Lu Jintang said: "My initial idea is to have a grain store and a escort agency, so that we can run the latter two together. If the escort agency can take on the escort, then it will do it. If not, we will mainly focus on our own cargo transportation."

Tang Jiahangdao said: "A grain store should be fine, but isn't the escort agency a bit simple? It would be better to turn it into a transport team, including escort and transportation."

"Okay, this matter will be mainly left to Buyan. You have to handle the initial investment funds yourself, and we will slowly replenish it to you later." Lu Jintang said to Hu Buyan.

"Okay, I'll do this." Hu Buyan said.

Lu Jintang said, "Another thing is, we have planted a lot of bitter melons. Please pay attention to the sales. They will be ripe in more than a month, or at most two months."

Hu Buyan nodded.

"Buyan, you can't run an escort with an empty fleet. You can bring back some things, such as the things we need to open the snack street, or cloth or something. We will discuss this in detail later."

Hu Buyan took out his notebook and began to write things down. He had originally thought that his uncle wouldn't be able to say anything specific, but he had already outlined what he was going to do in just a few words. He really couldn't be underestimated, right?

Lu Jintang stood up and said, "Let's rest here for today! You should mainly prepare the manpower first. I think there will be a lot to do later." After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Go down and rest. I will take you to visit Qianhuang Mountain tomorrow."

Afterwards, they each took a rest without saying anything else.

During morning exercise the next day, the three little ones saw the scene of Qianhuang Mountain and opened their eyes wide in shock. My goodness, this is probably enough to form an army!

During morning exercises, Lu Jintang and Yang Mingxi said, "Axi, there's something I need to tell you. Xiaojiu's identity is quite special. His current public name is Lin Dong."

As Lu Jintang spoke, he observed Yang Mingxi's expression. Seeing that Yang Mingxi's expression remained unchanged, he continued, "For this reason, it's not convenient for him to walk around the village alone too often. So recently we won't be coming to your house for dinner. We'll just eat in our own courtyard."

Yang Mingxi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and tell my sister-in-law that she's the one who's in charge of cooking in our family."

"Okay, but Axi, if you have time, it would be nice if you could help improve the food." Lu Jintang said with a smile.

"Improve the food? Are you making fun of me? My cooking skills are not good, and the food I make is barely edible!"

"Axi, have you ever eaten the food you cooked? The food you cook is not exquisite, but it tastes really good."

"Thank you for the compliment. If you don't have a stomachache, I'll cook you a meal or two when I have time."

The two of them looked very harmonious as they exercised and talked.

Tang Jiahang and Hu Buyan, who were exercising from a distance, looked at the two people talking and laughing, glanced at each other, and smiled at the same time.

Only Lin Dong, who was secretly working hard, was concentrating on practicing and did not notice the heartwarming scene here.

After breakfast, Yang Mingxi's family welcomed Village Chief Zhang. It turned out that the rice seedlings sown by the villagers were ready for transplanting. Village Chief Zhang asked Yang Mingxi to go and help, and if possible, start transplanting the seedlings tomorrow.

Before Yang Mingxi could speak, Yang Laowu said, "Okay, Uncle Zhang, let Xi follow you for a while, and let everyone follow and see, so they will know how to do it in the future."

Yang Mingxi was speechless. What a foolish thing her father was. He agreed without even saying a word. She couldn't disagree, right?

For the entire morning, Yang Mingxi followed Village Chief Zhang, followed by a large group of villagers, visiting each household's rice seedling fields to check on them and tell them which ones could be transplanted and which ones would have to wait a few days.

The busy work didn't end until almost noon. Yang Mingxi dragged her tired body back home, just in time for dinner.

Wu came back from the stall, and she and Yang Minghu were the only ones eating. When she saw Yang Mingxi coming back, she asked while eating, "Where did Xier go?"

"Let's go to the village and see that the rice seedlings they planted are almost ready for transplanting. Grandpa Zhang asked me to go with him to take a look."

"Is there anything wrong with their crops? I hope we can harvest more rice so everyone can have enough to eat."

"No problem. A few were almost fat and a little yellow. I told them how to deal with it, and it should be fine."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu sighed deeply and said, "Xier, business hasn't been very good lately. I feel like sales are declining every day."

Yang Minghu nodded and said, "Really? Only the cold skewers and braised food are still doing well. The cold noodles are also okay. The fried potatoes have been declining recently and we can't make much money in a day."

After hearing this, Yang Mingxi said, "Cousin, did you come to me to discuss this matter? I was busy yesterday and didn't see him yet."

"That's probably the case. He's been in a bad mood these past few days, probably because business is bad. Xier, there are a lot of fried potatoes in Qingshui County now. They're quite cheap, two cents a portion, and the quantity is larger than ours."

"That's normal. When something first comes out, business is better. Then imitators come out and start competing on price. But it doesn't matter. Food is all about taste. Only good taste can keep it popular."

Several people were eating and talking about business. At this moment, Yang Mingjiang came over.

When he walked in and saw them eating, he smiled and said, "Aunt Wu is just eating? Why are there only three of you eating?"

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "Cousin Jiang, have you eaten? They've already finished. We came back late, and then we were talking while eating, so we were a little slow."

"I'm done eating. I'll come over after dinner."

"Please sit down. My mother told me that there's no need to rush about business matters. Just run the stall as normal."

Yang Mingjiang said somewhat dejectedly, "It's not just a little bit worse, it's declining every day, especially the fried potatoes. It seems like they're not selling well these days."

"Okay, did you bring the account book? I'll take a look at it later and tell you what to do. Now just do what you should do! I'll come to see you in the evening." Yang Mingxi said.

Yang Mingjiang took out the account book and said, "Today's materials have been recorded. Only tomorrow's materials have not been recorded. In this box are all the gross profits from our own stalls later."

"Okay, I'll find you when I'm done reading!"

After they finished talking, Yang Mingxi finished her meal and went about their business.

Yang Mingxi returned to her room with the account book, ready to look at the latest accounts and find out why the business was not doing well.
