After listening to what Liu's father said, Shen Wanshan sighed. He knew that he was not wrong. Liu's father was a man with great ambitions.

But what else can we do? No matter where we go, the recipes passed down from our ancestors can support a family.

"Brother Liu, I'm really happy that you can take me with you. How can I say no? I can't thank you enough. I'll bring the deeds of my shop to you for your review when I go back. They are definitely shops that I bought before. I'll sign the contracts according to those shops."

"Wanshan, don't worry. Come to my house tomorrow and I'll let you taste other dishes. Once you've tried them, you'll know that we will never lose money if we do business together."

"Okay, okay, I'll come visit you tomorrow. I've delayed most of your day today. If you're done eating, let's go."

Shen Wanshan happily paid the bill and said goodbye to Liu's father and Luo Hong and the others. One could feel his joy and excitement from his back as he left.

After watching Shen Wanshan leave, Zhuzi said to Liu's father, "Master Liu, I have decided what you told me before. I will follow you from now on. I will say goodbye to the boss of the dental shop when I return to the dental shop, explain what I am doing, and come to see you in about two days, okay?"

"Okay, we need to explain the things over there clearly. We should have a beginning and an end in mind. If you are free tomorrow, come to my house. We will discuss cooperation with Mr. Shen tomorrow, and you should also be there. From now on, you can follow your family to work on this business. It is better to know more."

"Master Liu, I understand. I should be able to come over some time."

After Zhuzi left, Father Liu took the bunch of keys in his hand and swung them, "Lao Luo, let's go pick up Caixia and the others and go to the manor to take a look!"

"Okay. Take Huang Ligang and his wife over there, and let them take charge of the other farm. Huang Wenyuan will follow Lin Keyu from now on."

Lin Weizhong drove a carriage, and a group of two carriages left the city together.

It takes less than half an hour to drive a horse carriage out of the city to where the two farms are located.

Soon they arrived at the farm beside the official road. Two carriages were parked at the door. Huang Ligang was driving a carriage behind. The carriage in front was driven by Liu's father himself. Neither of them had any airs of a master.

Father Liu went to knock on the door, and the person who opened the door was still Aunt Liao from yesterday.

Father Liu showed Aunt Liao the farm deed and their indentures. Aunt Liao said respectfully, "Master, please come in. This is your farm. You don't need to show it to me. Besides, I can't read."

Old man Liao didn't know when the new master would come to the farm, so he went to work every day. Aunt Liao took her three grandchildren to the small gatehouse in front of the farm every day. She cooked for the men in the family and mended their clothes and shoes.

"Aunt Liao, this is Huang Ligang and his wife. They will take over the farm behind. I think you know about that farm. I asked Zhuzi to send them away. The two farms will be merged and some changes will be made, but the affairs of the farm in front will still be in the charge of your family. I will assign new tasks to you in the future."

"Okay, Master, I'll ask Dacheng to call the old man back."

"That's fine, call him back so we can get to know each other, so we don't forget him in the future."

Huang Ligang led the carriage to the barn nearby and settled it there, then stood there waiting.

Father Liu, Luo Hong, Lin Weizhong, and Liu Caixia were sitting at the main table drinking tea.

After a while, an old man came back with a younger couple and Dacheng who had just gone out.

As soon as the old man arrived, he knelt down and kowtowed, "Greetings, Master!"

"Okay, stand up. You don't have to kneel every time you see someone. Let me introduce you to the people here. The manor is under the name of my eldest daughter Liu Caixia. She is your direct and nominal owner. This is Lin Weizhong's husband. The family situation is a bit complicated. You just need to get a general understanding. Then, do what you need to do."

Old man Liao also introduced his son, daughter-in-law and several grandchildren. He even introduced his seven-year-old granddaughter to Liu Xiaolu.

Girls of this era do mature early. Liu Xiaolu doesn't dislike Liao Xiaohua. Her mother is going to find a maid for her anyway, so she accepts Liao Xiaohua. In the future, she will have a little girl following her wherever she goes, so it's nice to have a companion.

After all, she and Lin Keyu are different in gender, so they can't always play together.

Liu's father took Liu Caixia, Lin Weizhong and the others to walk between the two villages, pointed to the area at the foot of the mountain that was higher than the area next to it and said, "I plan to dig up the area at the foot of the mountain to build a house and a farm. I want to raise pigs and rabbits. The terrain is high and not so humid."

"Sure, let's build a bigger one. The farms on both sides have 800 acres of land, which can support a relatively large breeding farm."

"Well, we'll build it this year, and there won't be that much pig grass in the winter, so we'll start raising pigs at the beginning of next year, and by June in the second half of the year, we'll be able to raise pigs on a large scale."

When they build a house in their own farm, they only need to go to the government office to pay some stamp duty and then they can directly apply for the land deed. Unlike building a house in the village, they don't need to obtain a homestead approved by the government.

There are still a lot of mountain areas on both sides of the mountain that can be reclaimed. Before, Shen Wanshan really didn't know how to farm and had never thought about planning the land of the manor.

There are a lot of weed-covered wastelands on this hilltop, which can be reclaimed to grow sweet potatoes or vegetables and fruits.

People from nearby villages would not come to this hill to chop firewood or pick mushrooms and wild vegetables, so the weeds grew very lush, almost half a person's height.

"Dad, there's no rush to open up the wasteland, just take your time. Huang Ligang and his men have nothing to do. The fields on the farm are all rented out to the surrounding villagers. They come here just to manage them, and there's nothing to do at all. We can dig holes to grow some seasonal vegetables, and we can also consider planting in winter. Didn't you say you found a boss to start a restaurant business together? The wool comes from the sheep, and these are all pure income."

"Well, let's make a plan when we get back. I originally thought about going back for the New Year and bringing people here next year, but now it seems that I have to transfer a few people from the county town."

"It's okay. Plans are not as good as changes. It's quite convenient to come over from the county. Anyway, the house has been bought, so let mother and eldest sister transfer two people who are a little free over. At the end of the year, we will go back together to celebrate the New Year, and then discuss the personnel arrangements for next year."

"Alright."

Luo Hong, "Renyi, otherwise I will take them there by myself this time. We can have each other's company, and our safety will be guaranteed by finding a caravan. Since we have no plans to develop in the state capital now, there is no rush to go there immediately!"

Father Liu nodded and said, "You are right. Let's talk about it when we get back."

Huang Ligang and his wife were directly kept behind. The farm had everything and they were not very particular about things. The previous family that was taken away must have been unable to take anything with them.
