Stingy Husband Farming

Compared with Li Jia, Xue Lei was older and more stable, and he didn't have the idleness of a young master, so when he finished delivering the goods and rushed to the restaurant, Li Jia was still busy in the warehouse.

"Tsk." Song Xie looked at the last piece of soft and sticky water tower cake on the plate, and was a little bit reluctant, but he still followed his oath and handed it to Xue Lei. "It came much sooner than I expected."

Xue Lei couldn't help being a little funny.Treating this little cousin was obviously much less stressful than when facing Song Bai, and he was much more relaxed. He was not polite, picked up the pastry on the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, looking at the little round face of this little cousin. They all wrinkled up: "You really eat..." You're welcome!

"Didn't you hand it to me? I thought you couldn't eat it anymore, so let me clean it up." Xue Lei teased him like this.

"Nonsense, is there anything in this world that I can't eat?" Song Xi was furious.

"Just kidding, on the way I came here just now, I saw a new pastry on the short cake shop, and many people were queuing up. This won't help you save some stomach for the new product." Knowing that Song Xie is greedy, Xue Lei is quite fond of these What he was concerned about was that there were too many people queuing up, so he was anxious to come to Song Xie to report the situation, so he rushed over first.

Song Xie's eyes lit up.He is also busy these days, and he didn't even know that there was a new dessert in the pastry shop, so he quickly sent the servants around him to line up.

Seeing that Song Xie and Xue Lei were together, the boy didn't have any worries, so he took the money to buy pastries, leaving Xue Lei to explain to Song Xie about today's delivery.

Xue Lei handled things neatly and had a clear mind, explained clearly in a few words, and discussed with Song Xie about the future plan of the shop.Just as he was talking, a guy from Songjiabuzhuang came over and said, "Second Young Master, Steward Xue."

Before Song Bai left, two Song's cloth houses had been planned, one was mainly for common people, the area was smaller, and the other had a second floor to entertain distinguished guests.Now Xue Lei is in charge of the big one, and Li Jia is in charge of the small one.The work that came here was exactly under Li Jia's subordinates.

"What's the matter, where is your Manager Li? The business in the shop hasn't been finished yet? Cousin Xue finished it half an hour ago." Song Xie propped his chin, feeling a little dissatisfied.

This cousin Li was a bit anticlimactic in his work. When Song Bai was around, he thought he was a hardworking young man. Later, he became more and more careless and perfunctory in his work, focusing on eating, drinking and having fun.Song Xie has already cleaned up the mess for him several times in the store. Although it is not a big deal, it is nothing more than miscalculation, failure to deliver goods, late arrival and early departure... There is no bad intention, and the loss is not big, but It's very troublesome, and the guys below are gradually dissatisfied with him.

The guy was a little embarrassed: "Manager Li...something happened, the goods were not finished, and I had a quarrel with the accountant. Send me to ask the second young master to go over and have a word."

What can you quarrel with the accountant?Probably the numbers don't match again... It's not the first time for Song Xie to help him suppress the people below, and now he is annoyed to beat the table: "I'm still waiting to eat the pastries from the pastry shop! Help him I don't know when the time will come, the dim sum will be cold!"

Cold snacks are naturally not as delicious as freshly baked ones.

Song Xie didn't want to go, but the clerk stood aside and didn't know what to do. Xue Lei observed his words and could only say, "Why don't you rest here, and I'll go and see for you?"

He is different from Li Jia.Li Jia's family has a lot of wealth, and they came here just to exercise, so they can do things with confidence and don't worry about it. Anyway, there is the Li family's way out.He is different, he is asking for a place to settle down for the rest of his life.

Now that Song Bai is away, Song Xie is already the head of the Song family in Xing'an County, so he is naturally willing to help Song Xie as much as possible to gain Song Xie's trust and favor.

Through his unremitting efforts, he is now able to joke with Song Xie, and even "take food from a tiger's mouth".But he still wants to go further, after all, he still has a wife, waiting for him to pick him up and live in the county town.

The store under his jurisdiction has just experienced the loading of goods once, and it is easy to do, and it is not difficult.Li Jia couldn't handle it well, probably because he didn't care and didn't worry about it, and was pointed out by the accountant, and he was afraid that he couldn't keep his face, and the young master had a conflict because of his temper.

Song Xie was restless and was thinking about how to evade it, but immediately raised his head when he heard the words: "That's great." If it wasn't for his little aunt's sake, he would have long since given up on wiping Li Jia's ass.For Xue Lei's ability, Song Xie still recognized it.

Xue Lei nodded, looked at the bustle of people in the teahouse, thought there was no danger, and said casually: "You wait here alone for the snacks, don't move around, I will come back as soon as possible."

Song Xie also didn't think about what would happen in the busy city, so he agreed casually.

......

However, Song Xie didn't wait for the pastries from the pastry shop after all.When Xue Lei helped Li Jia deal with the things in the shop and took Li Jia back to the teahouse, he saw Song Xie's servant carrying snacks and looking around in a daze.However, the seat where Song Chen was sitting just now had already been overturned, and other guests were seated.

......

However, Song Bai and Shen Mu returned to Fengshui County, and had happily started training and planting in the village.

On the way, they also got to know the ten female workers they bought, seven of them were locals from Nanping Prefecture, and the textile technology they mastered was also the local technology of Nanping Prefecture, except that the three official slaves with tattooed faces were different. It's a lady from the official family in the capital, surnamed Zheng.The three were originally cousins, and they were still young when the accident happened at home. After years of family separation, they were the only ones left together.

Their weaving skills are not the handed down family skills as Song Bai thought, but the weaving skills learned from the ethnic minorities in Yazhou who were exiled to the southernmost coastal Yazhou after the family committed a crime.

Later, after changing hands several times, he was sold to Nanping Prefecture as a slave.The three of them had seen a lot in the capital when they were young, and they had good opinions on patterns and colors, and later they developed good craftsmanship, which made Song Bai quite overjoyed.

Even when they were at Ren Yazi's house, several other people also learned a lot from the three of them, and there was a tacit understanding in it.

Song Bai briefly explained to them what he was going to do in the future, and then handed over the management to Shen Mu, and became the shopkeeper himself.

Shen Mu was a little nervous: "I...can I do it?" He doesn't understand weaving either?

"Let's find out. If you don't know anything, just ask me." Song Bai winked at him, "There are two young girls in there, I don't care, I'm afraid I will attract bees and butterflies."

Shen Mubai glanced at him, "Xiaohu and Xiaolan don't like you. They said that the little girls who volunteered to stand up at that time didn't want to be housemaids or concubines. They would rather rely on handicrafts to eat and marry someone in the future." It's fine to be an honest guy." These days, Shen Mu has become a little familiar with those servants, he has no airs, and the two young girls are no longer timid, and gradually become lively, chatting with him.

He glanced at Song Bai's face, and then looked again: "...that's me, so obsessed with lust, alas."

Song Bai couldn't help laughing.But he didn't really want to be a hands-off shopkeeper. The training was handed over to Shen Mu, and he was looking for a carpenter to imitate in batches the sophisticated and advanced looms, spinning wheels, and cotton gins he bought from Nanping Prefecture.

Also buy some old farmers who can grow cotton and hemp.

Before taking advantage of the low price, he bought a lot of fields near Shenjiatun. Song Bai thought that he could connect the mountains he bought to build several villages, let the people who bought them manage the farming, and then recruit some tenant farmers and long-term workers nearby. It's all alive.

As long as the head of the Zhuangzi is well selected, the master will not have to worry too much after forming the Zhuangzi. These servants will gradually form a family, take root in the Zhuangzi, and eventually become the Shen family's domestic servants.

Yes, the Shen family.Song Bai thought that since he had married into Shen Mu's family, he had to think about the future of the Shen family and his children and grandchildren.Not to mention thousands of generations, at least three generations must be rich.

But these things always have to be done step by step.Now it is still Song Bai himself who recruits long-term workers and tenants from surrounding villages to cultivate cotton and hemp.

The old farmers bought by the family are mainly for technical guidance, teaching these tenants who are used to growing grain how to cultivate cotton and linen.If you have free time, you have to go up the mountain to pick mountain goods.

Everything is developing in a good direction, and the preliminary construction of the workshop and Zhuangzi is gradually on the right track as Song Bai hoped.Even the women in Shenjiatun Village, after a month of teaching and training, have been able to weave relatively fine cotton and linen cloth under the guidance and training of the masters.

The cotton seeds that were planted sprouted buds, and batches of mountain products were also released in the sun.

At this time, more than a month after Kainan Pingzhou, Song Bai finally received a letter from Song Xiaomei from Xing'an County.

Song Xiaomei was about to cry.In fact, she did cry several times at home.

That day when Xue Lei and Li Jia went to the teahouse, they didn't see Song Xie, only the boy who had bought some snacks.I asked the waiter in the shop, and he said that Song Xie went to the opposite street to buy food, but he didn't come back for a long time.At first, the few people didn't think much about it. Isn't it the most common thing for Song Xi to buy food?But after waiting and waiting, no one came back, and no one was found, and when the sky gradually darkened, they panicked.

Song Xie really disappeared in the downtown...

Not to mention that Mr. Song and his wife are still fishing in the East China Sea at this time, and Song Bai is far away in Fengshui County, and there is only Song Xiaomei, a little girl, who is in charge of the family; even if the whole family is there, if a good person is lost, the family will panic .

Song Xiaomei tried her best to stabilize her mind, and while sending her servants to look for Song Xie, she wrote to Song Bai and Mr. Song, asking for help.

She can still handle the business in the shop, and now that Xue Lei has experienced it, he can be very helpful.

But soon, Xiaomei Song realized something was wrong.

The Song family didn't make much public about Song's disappearance, but on the second day after Song's disappearance, people began to make trouble in Song's cloth village.

At first I thought it was a coincidence, but as the number of times increased, Song Xiaomei also came back to it.

This is to think that the Song family lost the head of the family, and would be confused and easily taken advantage of.But if there is an enmity with the Song family, why is the Song family's grain business so peaceful, and the two cloth houses are the only ones making trouble?

Although there was no evidence, Song Xiaomei still couldn't help suspecting her rival, the Mei family.
