The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

Drinking tea and chatting inside.

After learning about Jiang Ningning and the others' purpose, the pawnbroker said, "We have as many people as we need for rough labor as we can. As for skilled servants and guards...

To be honest, those who have skills like physical skills and literacy can support themselves and their families, but there are very few people who are willing to buy and sell things. At the moment, we don't have any of these.

But if you accept the offer, we can act as your sponsor and recommend some skilled men to you. Many skilled men have registered with us and would like us to help introduce them.

But you need to be very skilled, which is a bit difficult to find.

There were some before, but they were all hired by wealthy families at high prices.

But don't worry, we will keep an eye on it for you.

However, we need to confirm with you two, if there is really someone with excellent skills who is willing to risk his life to protect the employer and if he does not, there will be two different prices, and no matter which one, the price is not low.

After all, he is very skilled and has put in many years of hard work to achieve what he has today. This is his advantage.

Those who would not risk their lives to protect their employers, but simply provide protection, should be paid no less than eight taels per month; those who would risk their lives to protect their employers, should be paid no less than twenty taels per month.

Which one do you two want?

Our dentistry will be able to make more accurate recommendations when the time comes, just in case you two are not satisfied with the recommended candidates."

Jiang Ningning said: "Of course I will risk my life to protect my employer."

"Okay. If we find someone with very good skills who is willing to risk his life to protect his employer, we will inform you two immediately." The person from the pawn shop said immediately.

"Thank you then." Jiang Ningning said with a smile.

"You're welcome." The man from the dental shop even smiled. "It's you two who are taking care of our business."

Then, a number of people who were able to do rough labor were called in. The rough laborers were divided into different grades. The very capable and healthy ones naturally had a slightly higher price.

These were bought to be used for work, so Jiang Ningning naturally chose four of the ones who were very capable and in good health.

He also bought two servants aged fifteen or sixteen, one to serve Xiao Yan and the other to be kept at home.

After paying the money, the broker also handed over the indentures of the six people.

Jiang Ningning accepted the indenture contract and then took these six people to start a business.

The servant who served Xiao Yan was named Xiao Jia by Xiao Yan; the servant who was kept at home and did errands was named Jiang Yi.

Jiang Ningning almost died of laughter. Her husband was too lazy to think of a name, so he was also a bad name picker.

After leaving the dental clinic, Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan did not go anywhere. They took the six people directly back to Zaoshu Village.

While Jiang Ningning and the others were still on their way back, the people of Zaoshu Village surrounded the paddy fields of Jiang Ningning's two families, stood on the dams, and stared at the rice with their mouths wide open.

"Are these really ears of corn???"

"How can this be? This doesn't make sense. Were we pulling the rope just a few days ago, trying to drive the rice flowers? How come the rice has already fully formed ears?"

"Shouldn't the problem be that their rice fields have already formed ears, but our rice fields haven't bloomed yet?" someone corrected.

"No, no, shouldn't the question be why the rice plants of both families are taller than my waist?"

"No, no, the problem is that this ear is too long. How many grains are on it?"

"Could it be that Miss Ning has really cultivated a higher-yield rice?"

"It seems so. But until the last moment, until we actually harvest a lot of grain, it doesn't mean it's truly cultivated."

"Yes, yes. If the final harvest is not that big and many ears are empty, then it can't be considered a successful cultivation."

"Even though that's the only way to count, I have to say that Miss Ning is really amazing. This is the first time I've seen someone taller than my waist." said a very tall man.

"Yeah, yeah." Everyone else echoed.

"How did Ning girl do this?" someone sighed.

Everyone was talking to each other, and finally couldn't help but look at Uncle Zhou and his family.

Usually, Uncle Zhou and his family help Jiang Ningning and others take care of these fields.

Despite this, Uncle Zhou and his family were also shocked to see that the rice ears were already formed and so long.

Unlike others who don't keep an eye on it every day, they help take care of these paddy fields every day, so naturally they know more about them than others.

This rice really changes every day and grows very fast.

Seeing that everyone was looking at them, Uncle Zhou said hurriedly:

"Don't look at us, we don't know much either. It's not like Miss Ning asks us to help every time she goes to the fields. Moreover, even when Miss Ning asked us to help, we didn't ask much.

We just do whatever they tell us to do.

Take the recent days when they asked us to pull ropes to help drive the rice flowers in the middle of the day, for example, and we didn’t even ask.

However, I did hear Ning Yatou say at that time that the rice ears are produced after the rice flowers bloom, and this might allow the rice to produce more ears.

Now it seems that it is true.

Look, how long and numerous these ears of grain are.

If nothing goes wrong later and all of it grows into rice, that would be a huge warehouse full of food."

"Yes, yes." Everyone's eyes lit up as if they had seen a warehouse full of grain.

We rely on the weather for our livelihood, and there are few harvest seasons.

What's more, we had to pay taxes. In short, there was often not enough food at home.

"I hope Miss Ning can be brought up!" Everyone couldn't help but say it, and they all said it sincerely.

If they had seeds of this kind of rice, they would be happy to sell them to them even if it was a little more expensive. After all, if they could really cultivate it, maybe they would really be able to have enough to eat every day.

Old Lady Sun was left to stay for a few days. She was walking around the village, but found that there was no one there. Everyone had gone to the paddy fields, and no one knew what they were looking at.

Sun, Tian, Xiao Fushan and Jiang Shengcai were also curious, so they helped Old Lady Sun to see it together.

Only when I walked over did I know what everyone was looking at.

The four Sun family members immediately looked proud.

Ningning from their family is so promising.

This rice has been refined to this extent. Unless there are no accidents, it will be a high-yield rice.

I had always heard about how promising my granddaughter was, but this was the first time I saw it with my own eyes, and Old Lady Sun was beaming with joy.

The weather only turned cooler on the second day of August.

Seeing that the temperature had finally turned cooler, Jiang Ningning and the others felt relieved.

Because Xiao Yan will go to the provincial capital tomorrow to take part in the provincial examination.

The chief examiner of the provincial examination was appointed by the emperor, so the examination venue was always set up in the provincial capital.

The date for Dayan's provincial examination is set to start tomorrow, with the examination hall entering the hall and the formal examination taking place the day after tomorrow.

The exam lasts for nine days and seven nights, which is even more outrageous than the college entrance examination.

Fortunately, I can cook for myself.

This time, Jiang Ningning and the others put some more dry goods in Xiao Yankao's basket, such as dried vegetables, bean curd sheets, etc.
