Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

It took more than half an hour to walk around the circle.

The attendant reported that County Lieutenant Xu had arrived with the allocated silver and workers and was at the village chief's house.

When everyone arrived, the village chief had already counted the silver and money in person with the elders, and the key was kept by both parties.

This was also proposed by Qingning to prevent the occurrence of private embezzlement.

It was almost noon. The village chief had asked people to prepare a meal. After the meal, he could not wait to take County Lieutenant Xu and the workers to inspect the scene.

Prince Fu and several others also followed to see what was going on.

Qing Ning went back and called Shi Shuanghu and her father to dig up the vegetable field in the yard, apply fertilizer on it and plant cotton.

There are two acres of land in this yard, three acres of which are used to grow flowers and plants, and the rest are used to grow vegetables.

"Qingning, can we grow this cotton here?"

Chen Changjiang was turning over in the dirt, feeling somewhat worried.

Qing Ning: "I don't know exactly what it is right now, but I'm following the records I read before, copying them step by step and taking care of them carefully."

Qing Ning was telling the truth. She had only seen families growing it when she was a child, and later she had read some information about it. This was the first time she grew it herself.

So she was very careful with every step, trying to keep it as close to the previous one as possible.

However, the two of them felt heavy in their hearts after hearing Qing Ning's straightforward words.

Although Qing Ning was also nervous, she was in a good mood. Seeing them like this, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

After deep plowing the field, clean up the stones on the ground, pick up wood ash, organic fertilizer, etc. and mix it evenly, then you can rest for a while.

"This cotton is also difficult to take care of."

Shi Shuanghu shook the mud off his trouser legs and sighed.

"Uncle, you are right. But this thing has many benefits. It can be used to weave cloth, spin yarn, and keep you warm."

"Don't worry, when the cotton comes back, I will treat it like an ancestor."

Shi Shuanghu's words made the three of them burst into laughter.

"Lime, lime~"

"Hey~ Village Chief Aye, he's here."

The village chief was running out of breath. "Qing Ning, Aye, I have something to discuss with you. Chang Jiang should come too."

"Aye, what's the matter?"

Shi Shuanghu poured a bowl of water and handed it to him. The village chief took it and drank it all in one gulp.

He wiped his mouth and said, "That's right. There are quite a few workers coming to build the road. County Magistrate Xu suggested setting up a temporary shed outside the village for the workers to stay."

"But then I thought, these nobles will be here soon, will there be any danger?"

This is also a problem. Safety is very important when there are a lot of people. Although County Magistrate Xu brought workers to take charge, it takes a lot of people to build the road.

Moreover, the Xue family's great-grandmother and her family are all female relatives, so if they bump into someone, it will be a serious matter. But, where is the place to set up camp?

Qing Ning looked at the village chief with some embarrassment, "Village chief Aye, do you have any ideas in mind?"

The village chief said, "I was thinking that Sunzibao and Mingyang next door would both be good options. The road they're building is on the same line, so they're not that far away."

"Uncle Gao Jie, you already have a plan in mind, and you even made a special trip here." Chen Changjiang took over the conversation.

Village chief: "One more thing."

He looked around cautiously and said in a low voice, "The money for the road construction is all in my house. I'm afraid of such a large sum of money, so I wanted to ask if I could leave it in your house."

"We don't have a security guard at home. Although the county has sent someone to watch over us, I'm still worried. What if something happens?"

Qing Ning whispered back, "Grandpa, do you think those guards aren't powerful enough?"

"Well, it seems that the kung fu is not good."

"Then let's go and ask Grandpa Yu to arrange for someone with great kung fu skills to watch over us."

"Yes, yes, that's what I thought. I'm just worried that the old man won't be able to spare anyone."

"It's okay. If Grandpa Yu can't spare anyone, then ask His Royal Highness Prince Fu for someone."

"Your Highness Prince Fu?" the three exclaimed in surprise.

"The most impressive and blessed person today is His Royal Highness Prince Fu. He must have someone."

"Kekeke, wouldn't this be a bad idea? If Xue Mingfu knew about this, he would think we were worried about him."

The village chief didn't have such an idea. He just thought that the yamen runners were not very skilled. What if there was someone who was not afraid of death?

And it was kept in his house. If he lost it, how could he face his fellow villagers? Wouldn't he be betraying the trust of Mr. Ming and his neighbors?

In fact, he was too cautious, but it was no wonder that he wanted such a large sum of money. What if there was someone who really didn't want to die?

"His Royal Highness Prince Fu will leave someone to supervise the work, so it would be natural to ask for someone skilled in martial arts when the time comes. It would be no problem. Godfather is not a petty person, and he is relieved because he is coming to our village."

"Okay, that's good. Now I feel at ease. Don't worry if you laugh at me, I've never seen so much money in my life. Others don't know, but I was jealous at the time."

"These silver coins are our livelihood. How can I take it lightly? I have to keep an eye on them all the time."

"Uncle, it's human nature for us not to laugh at you. If we saw you, we would also be jealous."

Chen Changjiang followed up.

"Then I'll leave this matter to Qing Ning. I'll go back first. I'm still panicking right now."

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

After the three of them finished cleaning up, they returned to the courtyard.

Old Mrs. Chen was cleaning up the evening dishes. "Yu Shi just came over and said that the noble man would have dinner at home tonight. He wanted to have pickled fish, lotus-soaked vegetarian duck, braised pork with winter bamboo shoots, or something like that. Any wild delicacy, please cook it."

"Oh~ Also, Yu Shi sent some beef, mutton, and venison, saying that the nobleman doesn't eat pork."

Qing Ning sighed speechlessly, what a damn evil class!

"Okay, grandma, you help prepare the dishes, and I'll make dinner tonight. Go find the hot pot and prepare another one tonight. It's so cold and warm to eat."

"Okay, we'll help you."

After saying that, he told Jiang Zhao and Xiang Ling to find the pot and clean it.

The whole family was busy inside and outside, cleaning and preparing charcoal.

Qing Ning asked Xiang Ling to go to the workshop to find wheat seedlings and prepare more snacks.

When all the dishes were served, Prince Fu and others just walked in.

The Chen family performed the ceremony according to the rules, and Prince Fu was quite easy-going. He just told them not to be so cautious and to just treat it as normal.

When they sat down to eat, Prince Fu did not let Qian Shen serve the dishes and did it himself.

Qian Shen had a rare moment of leisure, so he also had dinner with the Chen family.

"Uncle-in-law, do you eat such delicious food every day?"

Prince Fu took a sip of the soup, and the delicious taste immediately captured his heart and soul.

Although other people did not notice the word "uncle-in-law", the Chen family members were very nervous.

Wow, did you know that the old man came from a big family, but he is so powerful?

For a moment, the Chen family became even more reserved.

Old Master Yu was helpless and looked at Prince Fu with some disgust. Seeing that he was oblivious and just focused on enjoying the food, he sighed inwardly.

After a quick glance around, Qing Ning was the only one who looked very relaxed, as if she had known it for a long time.

Qing Ning is not stupid, so she naturally guessed that he was someone important, otherwise she wouldn't have explicitly asked him to do something for her.

I wanted to say something, but I just thought about it. They have been together for quite a while, so maybe they were a little cautious when they first knew each other, but it will still be the same after a while.

Qing Ning felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle. Seeing that her family members were reserved and glanced at the main table from time to time, she also glanced and happened to meet Mr. Yu's eyes.

Qing Ning smiled slightly and understood.

"Grandma, Dad, and Grandpa Yu, how long have you known each other? What does it matter whether you know each other or not? We are all family. What happened in the past will remain the same in the future. There's really no need to dwell on it."

Old Mrs. Chen glanced at her and thought to herself, you are so careless.

Fortunately, Yu Shi and his friends were the most lively. After a round of drinks, most of the grudges and unfamiliarity in everyone's hearts were gone.

Prince Fu enjoyed the meal the most, Tang Yu also praised it highly, and even the prince's tutor, who was not a greedy eater, enjoyed a lot.

After a satisfying meal, Prince Fu decided to stay in Chenjia Village for a while longer, saying, "This is a matter of great importance to the entire country, and it's on my land. I must personally oversee it, otherwise I will feel uneasy!"
