The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Jingxue was unaware that her new products had already entered the palace.

At this moment, the Emperor Emeritus, who had been lying in bed, finally got up, and Eunuch Xi stood opposite him with a mirror in hand.

"Take it away! It makes me look so old!" the old man said angrily, waving his hand.

Grandpa Xi: You complain about the clear photos, and you complain about the blurry ones too! I'm starting to wonder if you're about to get your period, this is so abnormal!

"Does that girl own all of these in her shop?" the Emperor Emeritus asked.

Jin Shisan stood in the corner and said, "Your Majesty, yes, they are all sold in Princess Zhan's shop."

"What is this thing?" the retired emperor asked, pointing at the thermos.

"What the heck? What? What the heck?" the little myna in the cage on the windowsill said.

The retired emperor glared at it and said, "Get out of the way! You wouldn't speak when I told you to!"

Then, turning to Jin Shisan, he said, "Speak!"

"Your Majesty, this is called a thermos. If you put hot water in it, it won't get cold all night!"

"It's so ugly!" the retired emperor still complained.

The eunuch put down the mirror and returned to the Emperor Emeritus's side, saying, "Emperor Emeritus, do you think it won't melt if we put ice in?"

The retired emperor rolled his eyes. "Who are you asking? If you can't do it, why don't you try it yourself?"

"Yes, this servant will try to find some ice later. If it doesn't melt, then summer will be very comfortable, as we can drink ice-cold water!" Eunuch Xi said, bowing.

"What are these things?" the Emperor Emeritus asked, pointing at several potatoes.

"Your Majesty, this is food, called potatoes. It's a new product launched today, and no one dares to buy it yet. However, at the entrance of Li's Grain Shop, there's a woman demonstrating to the people how to eat it—no, how to cook it. It's said that this stuff can be eaten 60 days after planting, and it's also very drought-resistant!"

"Oh? It's all black, how are you supposed to eat it?"

“Peel off the skin, and inside is white flesh. You can shred it, slice it, or cut it into chunks. You can stir-fry, stew, or boil it!” Jin Shisan said, glancing at the two people squatting on the roof of the main hall.

Damn it, if Eleven and Twelve hadn't messed up their jobs, he wouldn't have gotten to do the work today. He also had a lighter in his pocket, which he planned to take out at the very end!

"Xiao Xi, go to the kitchen and make four dishes!"

Grandpa Xi looked at the six potatoes on the table. Could these make four dishes?

"Yes! This servant will go right away!" After saying that, Eunuch Xi tucked the whisk into his belt at the back, picked up the several black objects with both hands, and left!

"Thirteen, continue!"

"This morning, Princess Zhan's beauty and nail salon opened! Several girls also performed a dance, and Princess Zhan even played the drums for them. It was so beautiful, but I didn't dare to get too close. I only heard them sing something like, 'The army and the people are of one heart and mind, and we will never allow wolves to invade!' Jin Shisan didn't miss it, but he didn't remember it."

The retired emperor started tapping the table with his fingers, and Jin Shiyi and Jin Shier on the roof quickly covered their ears, while poor Jin Shisan could only grit his teeth and endure it!

In a moment of inspiration, he took out a lighter.

With a "poof!", a flame appeared, immediately attracting the attention of the retired emperor!

"This is also from Princess Zhan's shop?"

"Your Majesty, yes, this is called a 'lighter,' and it's much better than a tinderbox!" Jin Shisan said, taking two quick steps to hand the lighter to the Emperor.

Emma! Quickly, grab your hands!

This trick worked quite well. The Emperor Emeritus played with it for a long time until Eunuch Xi returned from the kitchen and told Jin Shisan to go to the kitchen for some guidance, which finally freed Jin Shisan.

When Jingxue and the others arrived at the manor, they really missed lunch!

Li Ma immediately went to the kitchen to cook for everyone. Jingxue told Lao Guo to go back to the palace after eating, as he still had to take care of his wife!

“Your Highness, my wife is alright now. She hasn’t been able to eat much these past few days, just some thin porridge. As long as she takes her medicine on time, that’s fine. I know you’ve been staying at the estate these past few days, and I’ve already spoken to the people in the courtyard. They will take care of her!” Old Guo said.

"Oh! Okay then!" Jingxue didn't say anything more.

After dinner, Jingxue called Li Quan over.

When discussing building a greenhouse with him, Li Quan realized that building a greenhouse was different from building a house. He looked at the blueprints Jingxue had given him for a long time.

"Young Miss, if all the materials are ready, it should be quick!"

"The materials are fine. How many people do you think we'll need? It's not just about building the greenhouse; I'm going to grow vegetables in it, so we'll need people there too! And we'll also need managers!"

Li Quan tried hard to understand Jingxue's words: "Does Miss mean that there should be a few leaders in charge?"

Jingxue nodded and continued, "I think we should call Yu Lizheng over. He knows the villagers better. Here's what I'm thinking: 20 wen per person per day, lunch included. Also, we need a few women to cook. 15 wen per woman per day. Is that alright?"

"It should be possible! If you stay at home and go out to find work, you'll only get this much a day, and it's not guaranteed. You might not even get paid in the end!" Li Quan said.

"Miss, I'll go find Yu Lizheng right now."

Jingxue paused for a moment and said, "It would be best if he found a few smart and technically skilled people. I will guide them. That way, it will be faster. The main thing is that it's getting cold, so we need to hurry!"

Time is tight and the task is heavy!

Who knew that after the village head arrived, he said that working was a small matter, but could the wages be exchanged for grain, because some families in the village did not have enough grain stored to last until next autumn!

Jingxue never imagined that the food shortage would be so severe!

The grain in the space costs 3 to 5 coins per pound, but according to the market price, it costs 15 coins per pound. Jingxue didn't know how to pay for it!

Yu Lizheng said that men should be given 1.5 jin a day, while women who cook should be given 1 jin!

Actually, when you calculate it this way, Jingxue actually comes out on the better side!

In the end, Jingxue decided to let the villagers choose between two options: money or food.

Yu Lizheng didn't delay and said he would go back and find 20 men and two women to come over tomorrow!

Qin Jing arrived shortly after Yu Lizheng left, bringing with him a group of people digging a well.

Jingxue was puzzled. It was almost dark, and she couldn't work even if she came. But then she thought that maybe they thought they could start work first thing tomorrow morning!

To everyone's surprise, the well-drilling foreman said they were looking for a water source in the evening. So, the group went to the field, and some busybodies from the village followed them!

Jingxue plans to build the greenhouse in a field closer to the village, which will make it easier to manage. Actually, she could just tell them where the water source is, but she wants to see if the traditional method of finding a water source works!

"Boss, just point out where you want to drill the well!" the foreman of the drilling team said.

Jingxue just used her supernatural ability to explore and pointed out several places, two of which had no underground water!

The well diggers leveled a small patch of land, sprinkled a thin layer of wood ash on it, and then covered it with a basin.
