Farming and reading family

He didn't seem to care much about his own children, but he would start to play with other people's children.

"Why didn't you tell me that the prince was coming?" Gao E asked Lianxin to take the peppers to the kitchen.

"I told you in advance because I was afraid you would hide all the delicious food." Bin Wang said jokingly.

"I'm afraid that the simple food will offend the prince." Gao E also joked.

"Don't talk about useless things. Prepare 200 kilograms of potatoes for me and I will send some to the emperor." Prince Bin said directly.

"Then Your Highness will wait a little longer." Gao E spread her hands. "Let's wait until the new potatoes are dug."

"What's the difference?" Prince Bin was puzzled.

"There aren't that many now." Gao E spread her hands.

It's not impossible to make it if we try to put it together.

But things sent to the capital must always look good.

Bin Wang thought for a moment and asked, "How long will it take for the new ones to ripen?"

"About two months." Gao E speculated.

The crops over at Jiming Mountain will definitely be ripe in two months. I planted more than ten acres this time, and I can share some.

"Okay." Bin Wang thought it could wait. "Then make me something to eat first. Xu Boyan and the others only take a little. It's enough for everyone."

Gao E has more potato recipes and can prepare a potato banquet.

Moreover, in a few years, when the potato planting volume increases, we can also make potato flour.

With the order from King Bin, ready-made seeds, and having tasted potatoes, the potato planting went smoothly. The potato seeds brought back by the Ruan family were not enough.

Gao E's life became more relaxed. When Tao Meiyu came to see her, the two of them would drink tea and chat, and occasionally go fishing for shrimps or picking vegetables.

When Tao Meiyu was not around, Gao E would read books, look at account books, make snacks, and occasionally check on her properties.

That day, Gao E was laughing in the kitchen when someone knocked on the door. He went to bring the person in.

Gao E wiped her hands and walked over: "Manager Yuan?"

The person who came was Yuan Fengshao, followed by two farmers in their forties or fifties. When they saw Gao E, they also smiled apologetically.

"Boss." Yuan Fengshao bowed.

"Is there anything wrong?" Gao E knew that they usually went to Jin Ruyi for help when they had problems, unless it was something Jin Ruyi didn't care about.

Yuan Fengshao was also a little embarrassed: "The two families want to continue renting the land from the owner."

The two men nodded hurriedly and looked at Gao E eagerly.

Gao E smiled and said, "I said that I would not cultivate the rented land after I gave up the lease. Manager Yuan should still remember."

Yuan Fengshao certainly remembered, but he was too embarrassed to bring them here.

"They were cheated by others. They will definitely farm their employer's land honestly in the future." Yuan Fengshao was pleading for the two men.

After all, they came from Qinzhou City together and had a good relationship before. Now I can't bear to see them living so miserably.

"If they get cheated, do I have to cover for them?" Gao E smiled faintly. "Then will others think that I can come and go as I please?"

As soon as Gao E said this, the two men fell to their knees.

"Lianxin!" Gao E immediately called out to Lianxin when she saw them like this.

Lianxin came over jogging, thinking that her elder sister had something important to tell her.

The two men knelt down and begged, but were so frightened by Gao E's shout that they didn't know what to say.

"Throw them both out." Gao E said directly when she saw Lian Xin coming over.

Lianxin walked straight over, grabbed their belts from behind and left.

The two men were so shocked that they said nothing and did not move until they were thrown out of the Chen family's door.

Yuan Fengshao was so embarrassed: "Boss, I have no choice."

"It's okay, I have a way." Gao E didn't care. "We are in this together. It's not that I'm ruthless, but I can't let some selfish people break the rules."

"Yes, yes, yes." Yuan Fengshao nodded.

He asked himself honestly that the Dong family was really good to them, and their lives were better than when they were with the Yun family.

It is true that some people are greedy.

Yuan Fengshao left and Tao Meiyu came over after smelling the fragrance.

"I make so many delicious foods every day, but you haven't gained weight." Tao Meiyun smiled as she ate from the plate.

"Is there a necessary connection between the two?" Gao E saw that Tao Meiyu had gained a lot of weight.

Tao Meiyun thought about it and it seemed like no, "The two kids are clamoring to spend the New Year with their dad. What do you think, should I go to Xiangzhou, or should I ask He Tangchun to come over?"

"Can He Tangchun leave his post?" Gao E asked suspiciously.

"No." Tao Meiyu said bluntly.

"Then letting him come over doesn't apply."

"Then he can resign and come here." Tao Meiyu agreed.

Gao E clasped her fists in admiration and said, "I respect you as a man."

"What does this have to do with men?" Tao Meiyu was puzzled.

The joke was too cold, and Gao E couldn't follow up: "I think he has his own ideas about when to resign, so don't keep talking about him."

"I never say anything about her." Tao Meiyu really wanted to say it, but she knew it was wrong. "Make more of this, I'll take it back and eat it."

"You are eating and taking things at the same time." Gao E teased.

"By the way, when can you deliver the hot pot base and dipping sauce to Xiangzhou? My Huanxizhu is still closed." Tao Meiyu always forgets to ask this question.

"How can I open Huanxizuo when you are not here?"

"My people are still here even though I'm not here, so why can't I open it?" Tao Meiyun said angrily. "I'm also planning to open Huanxizu in a county town within Xiangzhou."

"It's definitely not possible during this period." Gao E didn't know what Xu Boyan and the others were doing.

The little snowflakes of their time would melt away if they were not careful.

Tao Meiyun also knew it wouldn't work: "Then I'll wait a little longer."

"Even if He Tangchun is no longer working in Xiangzhou, do you still plan to continue running the business in Xiangzhou?" Gao E was not sure.

"Yes." Tao Meiyun nodded. "I calculated that my dowry is less than one-third of what it was before. Now I have two children. I need to prepare a betrothal gift for my son and a dowry for my daughter. I must have a profitable business."

She also wanted to buy property in He County, but she hadn't found a suitable one yet. The sixty acres of land that Gao E sold her was only enough for her daily food and drink.

Gao E thought Tao Meiyun also had time to plan for her children: "No matter what we prepare for them, it's better to raise them well."

"I don't need to worry about this." Tao Meiyu didn't care.

"Who cares then?"

"When Gao comes to study, let him go to the school in your village. The teacher you choose for your child will definitely be fine. He will study in Qingtan Academy in the future." Tao Meiyu said that she had already made up her mind.

Gao E was speechless for a moment. It turned out that he was the one who made her worry. "That's a good idea."

When the potatoes from Jiming Mountain were harvested, Gao E personally selected a cartload to send to Prince Bin. As for how Prince Bin would send them to the capital, that was no longer her concern.

Xu Boyan also came to He County at the time of potato harvest, and squatted with Mo Xun and ate three baked potatoes in one breath.

"Are you guys starving outside?" Gao E joked.

Xu Boyan dusted his hands and said, "I can't eat so comfortably outside. After the potatoes are dug, help me harvest a batch of potatoes."
