After the brother and sister had their talk, they went straight home. It was already mid-afternoon when they got home. They had some snacks casually, and then Lin Qingbai took Lin Qingxue to the kitchen to learn how to cook new dishes.

Lin Qingxue did not hide her skills. Based on the ingredients in the kitchen, she taught Lin Qingbai how to cook several dishes, both sweet and spicy.

When Lin Qingming and the others came back in the evening, Lin Qingbai told them what he and Lin Qingxue had done during the day.

After hearing Lin Qingbai's words, everyone looked at her eagerly. They were all very happy that they had their own property. They knew better than anyone how difficult it was to come this far, and they cherished everything they had even more.

"Here, this is the deed to your farm, and this is the shop. I registered my second brother's restaurant and shop under his name, and the branch of the West City Gourmet Restaurant is registered under my name."

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Qingxue took out a stack of deeds with a smile on her face. She first distributed the deeds of the manor to everyone, and then to the shops and the yard.

After receiving the deed handed over by Lin Qingxue, whether it was Lin Qingming and his brothers, or Li Yanniang and her three sisters-in-law, they were all extremely happy.

Once upon a time, did they dare to imagine that they could buy property in such a prosperous city as the Imperial City?

But now?

Not only did their family settle down in a village outside the imperial city, but they were also able to purchase properties and shops inside the imperial city. Their family was able to get to where they are today because of Lin Qingxue.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingming and the others looked at Lin Qingxue with eyes full of gratitude. In the past, they had to worry about what to eat today and tomorrow, but now they have everything. They just have to wait for Lin Xiaoshan and his brothers to get married and have children, and then they will die without regrets.

Lin Qingming and the others holding the deeds were very excited. Seeing this, Lin Qingxue said, "We've bought the shop and the farm. We have a lot to do next. Second brother wants to learn cooking soon, so the decoration of the shop will be left to third brother. Big brother, come with me to take a look at our farm. I don't know when the snowstorm will stop, so we need to re-plan the use of the farm."

"Okay, I'll go with you. If you want to clean up the shop, just ask your sisters-in-law and the servants to go with you," Lin Qingming agreed without thinking. He was very excited when he thought that he would be the one to farm in several farms in the future.

"Let's clean up the West City Food Hall branch first. Pick a good day in a couple of days and have Zhang Luo bring people over to open the shop. As for the East City restaurant, let Third Brother take care of it. The shop over there needs some major changes. We can find a few people in the village who have good connections to come and do the work."

Lin Qingxue smiled and said that once the shops were stable, they wouldn't have to worry about anything. They would just need to check the account books regularly every month to make sure the shops were operating normally.

Lin Qingming nodded. Since Lin Qingxue had already made all the arrangements, they naturally did as she said. They didn't understand these things, so they must listen to someone who understood them.

"Okay, it's nothing, so just leave it at that! Take your deeds and go back to your room to rest!" Lin Qingxue said as she stood up and stretched. She was indeed a little tired after running around these days.

Looking at Lin Qingxue's back, Lin Qingming frowned and said, "Since Qingxue has made all the arrangements, we just need to follow them. Let's all go back and rest!"

Hearing Lin Qingming's words, the others nodded and went back to their rooms to rest. The weather was getting colder, but there were still many people coming to the food restaurant to eat hot pot.

The brothers returned to their rooms, and the first thing they did was to read the deeds with their wives over and over again, and finally put them away reluctantly.

As for the children at home, they study in the academy during the day and only come back to eat and sleep at dinner time. Lin Qingming and his friends go out late and come back late. They often live under the same roof with Lin Xiaoshan and others, but they only see each other once in a long time.

Therefore, the children knew nothing about what was going on at home, and Lin Qingming and the others did not tell them.

With something to do, the Lin family has a goal to strive for. They are not afraid of hard work or fatigue, but they are afraid of having nothing to do and not making money.

Next, Lin Qingxue dragged Lin Qingbai to work around the farms of the five of them every day. Each of them built four greenhouses with oilcloth on their farm to grow vegetables.

The eighty-acre farm was divided into several areas. Two twenty-acre fields were dug up after the ice and snow melted to raise fish and grow crops. Another twenty-acre field was used to build four greenhouses for growing vegetables. The remaining twenty acres were used to raise chickens, ducks, geese and pigs.

In order to thaw the frozen land in the greenhouse, Lin Qingxue had people bring several carts of firewood and burn a fire on it for a whole day to thaw the ice.

Then, while the temperature was still warm, they took the animal excrement out of Lin Qingxue's space and watered the fields, and then built the greenhouse.

After working for more than half a month, Lin Qingming finally arranged the five farms. As for the workers, Lin Qingming listened to Lin Qingxue's advice and hired ten farmhands from nearby villages to work on each farm. He only needed to visit the farms every once in a while, and there was no need to hire a manager separately.

After Lin Qingming and his siblings had some free time, Lin Qingbai's neighboring restaurant was about to open. During this period, the brothers and sisters were all busy and none of them were idle.

While Lin Qingming and Lin Qingxue were busy with farm affairs, Lin Qingbai was busy learning to cook, and Lin Qingran was busy with the affairs of several shops.

The Xicheng branch of the Food House opened quietly three days later and was packed on the opening day. Fortunately, there were enough people and there was no rush.

While Lin Qingming was busy with the affairs of the five farms, Lin Qingxue was also busy with her own two farms. Her two farms were one hundred acres and two hundred acres respectively. She planted crops on the two hundred acres farm.

But the snowstorm is not over yet, and the ground has not melted yet, so the farm is empty. But for the 100-acre farm, Lin Qingxue plans to use 40 acres to raise fish, 20 acres to build a greenhouse for growing vegetables, 10 acres to grow lotus roots, and 20 acres to raise chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, because the area for raising chickens can also be used to plant some fruit trees.

As for the remaining ten acres, she would use them to grow some seasonal vegetables and fruits that were easy to sell. She had some ideas, but she just had to wait for the right opportunity.

Everything else has to wait; the only thing that can be done immediately is building the greenhouse. First, heat the frozen land with firewood, then irrigate the soil with animal excrement. Once the greenhouse is built, you can slowly start growing vegetables.

After the greenhouse vegetable planting was completed, she transferred a batch of chickens, ducks and pigs that were almost ready to be slaughtered from the space and sent them to six farms respectively.

The same was true for Lin Qingxue's two farms. She recruited long-term workers from nearby villages to do the work, and she only needed to give orders and did not have to do it herself.
