Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

Chapter 168

"No, your grandfather has been out collecting pigs and donkeys recently, so your aunt and cousin are the only ones at home.

I was worried about her and her mother, so I went out early and came back late every day to give myself courage. Last time your grandfather came back very quickly, but this time he went to a far place and there was no one to run the stall.

Zhige'er happened to live next door, and he was a good boy who insisted on going back and forth with me." Grandma said that if she hadn't firmly opposed it, the other two Huang family boys who were staying at the Shen family's would also have picked her up and dropped her off.

Shen Lingzhu said, "I have to thank my cousin Zhi very much. I'll give him a chicken drumstick for lunch tomorrow."

"You want chicken?"

"Of course."

"Don't kill the one your aunt raised. I'll bring you a big rooster tomorrow."

"No need, grandma. I don't like eating alone. I'll just get an old hen and stew it for my aunt."

"That's fine, but you also need to do some plastic surgery. Your face is a little smaller.

You still have to bring the big rooster." Grandma touched her face distressedly.

Shen Lingzhu felt that she was not thin, but there was a kind of thinness that grandma said you were thin. She quickly refused again: "There are geese at home, I can eat it too."

Anyway, grandma agreed in person, and what will happen specifically depends on tomorrow's results.

When she and her grandmother returned home, the conversation in the hall had ended.

Mrs. Hu wanted her grandmother, Mrs. Qi, to focus on taking care of her own family, but she didn't know how to ask her. She went to talk to Miaozhu, but Miaozhu was too embarrassed to say it either.

So she grabbed Xiao Zhuzi again and said, "Please persuade grandma to stop running around like this.

I saw it with my own eyes and felt very guilty.”

"Aunt, I won't persuade grandma. She said she would give you the confinement period, and she will definitely see it through to the end." Shen Lingzhu refused bluntly.

Mrs. Hu was helpless, as giving birth to a child would cause a lot of people to be busy.

Shen Lingzhu learned from her senior sister that her aunt was suffering from postpartum depression. Seeing the sadness on her face, she pulled her aside and talked a lot to divert her attention.

Soon, grandma harnessed the car and was ready to leave. Shen Lingzhu and her sister went further than their uncle and his friends, and did not return until they were out of Beigou Village.

On the way home, Shen Miaozhu said, "Grandpa didn't go to collect the pigs and slaughter them."

"Then where did you go?" Shen Lingzhu, who was yawning, suddenly lost his sleepiness.

Shen Miaozhu looked around to see if there was anyone around and said, "It was me who asked him to go to the prefectural city to inspect the shop."

"Senior sister, you are hiding something from me." Shen Lingzhu knows her senior sister best.

Shen Miaozhu stopped and said softly, "Captain Chen has been here twice. I went to him to test the waters and see if I could open a food stall in the city and borrow his support.

Unexpectedly, he agreed immediately and even sent a village captain to buy a shop, and asked for several places to be arranged for his family members, saying that the two parties would split the profits 50-50, which was a good deal.

"He was too anxious, so you became alert and asked grandpa to investigate." Shen Lingzhu immediately deduced.

Shen Miaozhu nodded: "Well, I bought the shop too quickly, and now I am in a difficult situation.

After this, I no longer cared whether I could open a shop in the county town or not.

Shun County isn't very prosperous, so it's not easy to open a large restaurant. A small one will suffice."

"Did you tell your uncle and the others?" Shen Lingzhu doubted it.

Shen Miaozhu nodded, and then continued: "You haven't come back yet, and the family hasn't held a full-month banquet for your younger brothers and sisters.

Everyone was unhappy, so I didn't mention it. But Captain Chen kept urging me to do it, so I had no choice but to go find my grandmother.

"Why is he willing to close it?" Shen Lingzhu was puzzled.

Shen Miaozhu let out a long sigh, "I didn't know what was going on, so I asked Grandpa to take a look."

"I walked around the city and didn't run into Grandpa."

"You didn't go near the government office?"

"No, everything around here is expensive. Wait, the shop is not on Yaqian Street."

"Congratulations, you guessed it right, but there is no reward."

"Too weird, refuse?"

"I can't refuse. Chen Ru said to open it as soon as possible. If it doesn't open, don't use the grape fields anymore."

"what the hell."

"Originally, I just wanted to open a small shop in the capital city to make steamed buns, fried dough sticks and mutton soup, and let the Xia Wang brothers and the Huang family run it. Let's see if it works.

My uncle will then be responsible for finding good goats for us.

In the county town, the Shen family and a few skilled workers are here to sell more wontons and the like. Shen Miaozhu's original plan was completely disrupted.

She said, "If I open a shop again now, I can only use more of their people. We provide the recipes and ideas, not the people."

Shen Lingzhu: "Does he agree?"

"We haven't met yet. Now that you're back, go with me to the vineyards under the pretext of looking for him.

Don't show your true colors in front of your uncle and aunt, your uncle doesn't like to see him." Shen Miaozhu rubbed her forehead. She knew that she had run into some of Chen Ru's plans, but it was easier to get in than to get out.

Just like the junior sister was not paying attention and was plotted against by Han and Zhang.

Of course, they don't expect to squeeze anything out of their own company, they just use their own name.

She said, "This time, I was too careless and not cautious."

"What if he insists on us sending someone? Who should we send?" Shen Lingzhu knew that it would be fine if nothing happened, but if something else was involved, everyone working there might be implicated.

Shen Miaozhu laughed and said, "I won't send anyone, I'll just provide the menu and ideas.

If you produce outstanding people, you will definitely be controlled by him in the future.

At worst, when no one in the family is an official, we can just do some quick business."

"Should we rebuild the shed or arrange for them to do other things temporarily?

I had previously heard from a few skilled workers that they were also good at farming, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to build a few more greenhouses and ask them to look after them.

Winter vegetables and sprouts will definitely sell very quickly. It's just that we don't have land, so it's not easy to do." It would be great if the aunt's land could be taken back, but Shen Lingzhu knew that was impossible at the moment.

If it is pawned to Qixing Temple, it will take at least five years for the other party to recover some of the capital before it can be redeemed.

Shen Miaozhu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. As long as her junior sister didn't stay in front of him all the time, she would be willing to use her little brain to think. She should let her go out for a walk more often in the future. "That's a good idea. I originally wanted to wait until next year to buy a few acres of land and then develop off-season vegetables on a large scale. Now it seems that I have to move forward.

As for the land, we can just rent it from Qixingguan."

"Ah, reverse land leasing? Why not take back my aunt's land?" Shen Lingzhu was a little dumbfounded.

Shen Miaozhu pushed her home and explained, "Aunt's land is on the upper fields, it's not easy to harvest it now.

There are several plots of land for growing medicinal herbs in Qixing Temple, but the yield is low and it is time for crop rotation, so I asked the temple owner to rent them.

Then they will have vegetables to eat in winter."

Shen Lingzhu nodded and then shook her head: "Aren't you afraid that Taoist Xuan Lingzi will say to you: Tao follows nature, and the four seasons cannot be reversed?"

"Hahaha, no. The income in the temple is low, and they also need to eat." Shen Miaozhu knew best that the Taoist priest was a person who was both detached from the world and involved in it.

As soon as they returned home, they discussed the matter with their uncle.

It was already urgent to appease the people who were working, and if he had to go out to do business again, Shen Huai would have to think twice.

However, he fully agreed with such a simple method of growing vegetables. All the wealthy and powerful families in the capital had farms that grew some vegetables in winter.

He said, “It just so happens that I’ve looked at your seventh uncle’s accounts, and the profits are pretty good.

Let's use this money to invest in the greenhouse and try to have a wider variety of dishes."
