Qi Meixiang said angrily, "You have been diligent since you were little and have never caused anyone any worry. How could you oversleep even though it was such a big thing today?"

Yuan Junyao ignored them and just looked at her three sworn brothers. She asked sheepishly, "Brothers, what should I do now?"

Hu Changping said, "Weed first. You need to buy some weed killer powder. You can buy it at the seed store."

Yuan Junyao nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, I'll go buy some and also order some dishes."

It's already past ten o'clock, and it might not be enough time to go back and forth in the morning. Fortunately, there is still some food stocked up in her space.

The weeds in this valley can be killed by sprinkling herbicide, but some tall grass must be killed artificially.

The three elder brothers have already started to get busy, Yuan Shisheng and Yuan Junhe have also started to help. Since they haven't officially started work yet, they haven't hired any helpers.

Yuan Junyao thought for a moment and said to Qi Meixiang, who also wanted to help, "Mom, please help me cook. I'll pay you thirty cents a day."

Good things should be kept within the family. She thought about asking others for help, but after thinking about it, she decided it would be better to ask Qi Meixiang.

"What kind of wages do you want? What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" Qi Meixiang was very unhappy and felt that her daughter was too distant from her family.

Yuan Junyao said coldly, "Brothers should be clear about accounts. If you don't want wages, then I can only hire someone else. And you can only cook at the house I rent."

She didn't want to take too much advantage of the Yuan family, so as to avoid having to bring up old scores when they turned against her in the future. Moreover, she still had to draw a clear line where it should be drawn.

After all, she was divorced, and in order to avoid being looked down upon and considered unlucky, she avoided suspicion wherever possible. It was beneficial and she didn't forget her family, so it wasn't too heartless.

To put it bluntly, it means treating the Yuan family as relatives.

Qi Meixiang was so angry that she had nothing to refute. She could only angrily scold him, "You have too much money to burn. Spend it however you like."

Anyway, her daughter won't listen to anything she says.

Yuan Junyao shrugged indifferently, turned and left, saying, "I'm going to the town."

Just as she was about to leave, Hu Changping reminded her again: "You still need to buy some lime and fine cotton thread, which you will need when the time comes. You also need to buy some incense and firecrackers, which you will need before breaking ground.

Also, prepare tools like hoes, shovels, and shoulder poles."

"okay, I get it."

Yuan Junyao wrote them down one by one, and after leaving Youyou Valley, she drove the carriage to the town.

It was already afternoon when she came back after buying these things. At noon, she had a bowl of wontons at Boss Cai's stall.

Most of the tall weeds in the Youyou Valley have been dealt with manually, leaving only patches of stubborn small weeds.

In ancient times, herbicide powders were in powder form and could be sprinkled on weeds.

Yuan Junyao wore a cloth mask on her face and disposable gloves she got from the space, and she quickly sprinkled the entire Youyou Valley.

This medicine will take effect within a day, and the grass will begin to turn yellow and wither, making it easier to deal with. Building a house is not something that can be done in a day or two, and in ancient times, everything had to be done manually.

So it took two days just to weed, and the entire ground was turned over, and it was finally clean.

Afterwards, according to Yuan Junyao's drawings, the locations of several houses were measured, lime was sprinkled as marks, and piles were driven in and thin cotton lines were tied. The next step was to dig the foundation, which marked the official start of construction.

On this day, under the command of Hu Changping, Yuan Junyao inserted three incense sticks on each of the four sides of the entire foundation, and finally lit a long string of firecrackers.

It is said that this is a warning to passing monsters and demons that this place has an owner, and the fragrance is a sacrifice.

Yuan Junyao didn't need to worry about the things here, as Hu Changping arranged everything, but the money was spent like water.

In just half a month, she had very little money left, and during this half month she had been busy cultivating her internal strength and exercising her body.

In order to build the house, she went into the mountains again and searched for precious medicinal herbs according to the old method. No matter what, she had to build the house first.

Building a house gives you a place to live, restoring your strength gives you confidence, and finally, financial freedom allows you to have no worries.

After entering the mountain, she searched for most of the day but only found a twenty-year-old ginseng, which could only be sold for thirty taels of silver at most. How long could it last?

She couldn't help but have a headache again. Sooner or later, she would not be able to make ends meet at this rate. She had to find a way.

Fortunately, when she was about to go down the mountain, she encountered another wild boar. After killing the wild boar, she put it into the space.

This wild boar weighs at least two hundred pounds, and a domestic pig costs thirty cents per pound. This wild boar should be able to be sold for around ten taels of silver!

I wonder if I can earn forty taels by wandering around the mountains for a whole day, including the ginseng and wild boar.

Forty taels, but she needed at least two hundred taels to build the house, and she also had to buy furniture, paint the beams, hire a carpenter to carve and so on. She estimated that the whole thing would cost at least one hundred taels.

How can this be enough without three or four hundred taels?

I have never worried about money in modern times, but I didn’t expect that in ancient times, the thing I worried about most was money.

She was born into a family fortune worth billions. Although her family was not engaged in business, she had countless assets under her name and held shares in many large companies. She also had a red background and had been spoiled in the arms of the top leader since she was a child.

If she wanted, she could have lived a life of luxury. Her grandfather's military exploits were definitely enough to protect his descendants. As long as they didn't break the law or go astray, they wouldn't have to worry about their livelihood.

It's just that she didn't want to be a parasite, so she followed her parents' old path, and therefore she is not good at business.

“Oh, I didn’t expect making money to be so difficult.”

Yuan Junyao showed a worried look for the first time. After traveling through time and space, she became a pauper and had to start from scratch. If it weren't for the space, she would probably starve to death!

If others heard what she said, she would definitely be beaten up. Other people's annual income was only a dozen taels, but she earned forty taels in a day.

It was getting late, so she planned to go to the town to sell all her things and get forty taels of silver for use.

When she returned to the village, she was holding ginseng in her hands.

You must tell these people where your money comes from, otherwise it will become black money.

There will be all kinds of speculation and slander at that time. Although she doesn't care, she doesn't want to be the target of everyone's insults.

The construction of her house has already begun, and the large quantities of blue bricks that have been transported in have made many people envious and jealous.

She was now the talk of the whole village, so as soon as she entered the village, she attracted the attention of all the old men and women who were enjoying the cool air at the village entrance.

At the same time, he also noticed the ginseng in her hand.

She ran to the mountain every day, and everyone saw it. The most outrageous thing was that some people even speculated that she was going to rob a tomb, as she got so much silver all of a sudden!

“Oh, this is ginseng!”

"It's ginseng. It's a rare commodity and can be sold for a lot of money."

Yuan Junyao said calmly, "It's ginseng, about twenty years old, it can be sold for thirty taels!"
