Seeing that it was already the beginning of November, Boss Sun in the capital had already asked Qiusheng several times to say that it was time to supply hot pot bases, but Xiao Yao was busy with the house, so he didn't start doing it.
And because I was busy building a manor, I put a good time to pick and grow mushrooms.
As soon as the manor was arranged, Xiao Yao hurried up and began to arrange the work.
Xiao Yao asked Steward Liu to recruit two little maids in her yard who were responsible for washing clothes for herself and Xiaocui, cleaning the room, and taking care of the sawdust stove.
A woman who guards the courtyard gates, sweeps the yard, and boils bath water. and a woman who cooks.
In this way, Xiaocui was completely liberated and let her lead people to fry the secret ingredients.
Xiao Yao asked Liu's wife, Sister-in-law Liu, to find ten village women with quick hands and feet among the tenants in the village, and five people asked Xiaocui to take them into the courtyard in the second, and Xiao Yao specially built a large kitchen to fry hot pot ingredients.
The five people were led by Liu's sister-in-law, and then rented five donkeys to grind flour and corn grits in the mill that entered the yard first.
She is going to let Qiusheng sell the grain produced in the field, which is two identical wide door houses, which are divided into two, selling vegetables, sauces, hot pot bases and pots on the one hand, and selling miscellaneous grains such as rice, flour, oil and various beans on the other, rice, and noodles are mainly sold by the farm itself, (now the farm has not produced a lot of wheat for the time being, and the rice has not yet been harvested, so you can buy from other farms first.)
Grains and fats can be purchased from farmers in their own hands.
As for the staffing of the shop, Qiusheng is in charge of it, so he should add a few people, just say it.
Xiao Yao sent a message to Qiusheng in mid-October, asking Qiuyue to prepare for the hot pot base.
She thinks it's too troublesome to get all the seasonings from the capital, and it costs a car.
Just give the frying of the general seasoning to Qiu Yue and hire a few women at the back of the shop to do it, Qiu Yue is already proficient, but just teach the hired people according to Xiao Yao's recipe.
Xiao Cui brought the fried dense ingredients from the countryside in a horse-drawn cart, and Qiuyue only needed to add each jar according to the ratio written by Xiao Yao and mix well to sell it in the front shop.
Qiu Yue finally had something to do, not to mention how happy she was, so she asked her brother to find someone to build a large kitchen in the second courtyard, build ten stoves, and say hello to ten women from poor families living nearby.
Just wait for Xiao Yao's order, and you can start work.
At the beginning of November, Xiao Yao finally brought the ingredient list, and said that the ingredients could be fed and fried, and asked Qiuyue to make accounts separately, and the payment for the goods was separated from other transactions in the shop, and the silver could be borrowed from Qiusheng first, and then returned after the money was earned after selling the bottom materials.
The money for the hot pot base is collected and handed over by Qiu Yue separately.
Xiao Yao is also to cultivate Qiu Yue's ability to stand alone, she feels that Qiu Yue is a woman with ideas and goals, and she should not be buried by the feudal ideas of this era.
At the beginning, Xiao Yao casually said that the signboard of the auspicious vegetable shop has now been changed to "auspicious grain and rape restaurant".
The storefront has also been repainted.
Don't look at the storefront, it's not big, it's not on the street.
In addition to the people who live nearby, most of the people in Beijing don't know this name, but in the hearts of the dignitaries and the shopkeepers of major well-known restaurants in Beijing, it is famous!
There are fresh things they can't buy elsewhere for a lot of money.
Because of the fame of the store, Wang Qiusheng, the shopkeeper, also has a lot of fame.
The ruffians and hooligans in the vicinity tried to provoke trouble and extort some money several times, but they didn't dare to do it, and they couldn't figure out the origin of the shopkeeper. opened such a small shop, but there were often stewards of dignitaries and dignitaries coming in and out.
Therefore, since its opening, the business in the shop, although there is no food to sell, has helped Xiao Yao order porcelain, ironware, sawdust, etc., which has been depressed for several months, and now it is still smooth sailing when it is reopened.
After training, Qiusheng has become more and more mature, not only keeping the business in the shop, the goods he buys, and the accounts he manages in order.
He also carried out the purchase of seasonings for the farms, the long-term purchase of sawdust in large quantities, and the delivery of grain and vegetables to the farms, and the food, rest, and drinking water of the coachmen and horses who delivered the seasonings.
Now he is also fully supportive of his sister's spice procurement and account problems.
Just as Xiao Yao expected, he became Xiao Yao's most powerful right-hand man.
In mid-to-late November, the farm ushered in the harvest season of the first trial rice planting.
Xiao Yao and Steward Liu came to the field with five villagers to help the tenants who planted rice to harvest and dry.
What makes Xiao Yao happy is that the rice is not only successfully planted, but also the yield is not low, with a yield of more than 800 catties of shelled rice per mu.
In other words, the net output is six or seven hundred catties.
According to the original promise, Xiao Yao gave the three families who planted rice the highest yield per mu of wheat according to the highest yield of wheat, and also gave an additional four yuan of silver per mu as a reward for daring to try new things and dare to take risks.
Let them fertilize the fields, fallow them for a few months, and plant vegetables in the spring next year.
All three families were overjoyed.
Among the three households, one family harvested vegetables and planted rice, and his family planted both new varieties, benefiting the most and the most.
Happy to meet people praised a good owner.
The rice was collected into the warehouse, Xiao Yao was worried, no one in the village knew how to cook rice, so he couldn't send the rice with shell to the shop to sell, right?
After thinking about it, this task can only be entrusted to Qiusheng to do.
So he wrote to him to find a person in the south who knew how to cook rice in the capital, and paid to hire him to teach the people in the village how to make rice.
Steward Liu arranged for a farmer to take a few peasants' idle laborers to turn all the more than 24,000 catties of rice from 30 acres of land into white rice (after deducting the rice that was retained).

Xiao Yao left 500 catties for the farm, and the rest was sent to the shop in a car.
Most of the rice in the south is double-to-triple-ripe a year, and the taste is not as fragrant as the rice in the north, so it is delicious.
And it's not tendony enough.
This was the same in ancient times as it is now.
And because of the long road to the north, the freight is high, and the price is relatively high.
Xiao Yao's rice tastes better, there is no cost of long-distance trafficking, and the output is unattainable in this era, so at the same price, the profit is already high.
Since it was mainly sold to the powerful family, Xiao Yao asked Qiusheng to increase the price by one percent.
Sales are still very good.
Xiao Yao smiled happily, she wore it here, what she really planted, what kind of fire she sold!
The money is making a lot of money.
After being tired for many months, confined to the various conditions of this backward era, he finally built his manor.
Although it is far worse than my own imagination in my previous life, it should be comfortable and enjoyable enough in this era!
Although the palace where the emperor lives is big enough and gorgeous enough.
Nor did they have their own manor house to live in warmth and comfort.
That's enough.
Xiao Yao wanted to take a good rest, she was too tired a while ago!
She was never a hands-on workaholic. was busy before, because no one else could replace her in building a manor, and she had to go into battle in person.
Now, everything is arranged.
She's going to give herself a big vacation.
In the manor, there are special people doing miscellaneous things such as grinding noodles, sending grain, sending seasonings, sending hot sauce, harvesting sawdust, breeding farms, etc., and Steward Liu is carefully managing them.
She had nothing to worry about.
The shop is taken care of by Qiusheng, and she is also very relieved.
Xiaocui leads five women to fry dense ingredients every day, and she is very conscientious.
This year, Xiao Yao added two flavors of slightly spicy and spicy on the basis of clear soup, thick soup, and nourishing three hot pot bases.
Although these two flavors are less fried, the spicy taste of chili peppers stimulates a few people who sneeze and shed tears.
Xiao Yao saw that they were too offended, so she asked the little maid who served her to sew a cotton mask for each of them overnight as she said.
Xiao Yao slept until she woke up naturally every day, got up and eaten, and took the little maid recruited from the village to the fields, hillsides, and woods outside the village to go around, and when she was tired, she came back to rest, because the climate had entered the winter, the leaves of the plants had withered and withered, and there was really no scenery to see, and after two days, Xiao Yao lost interest, and his attention unconsciously turned to the chicken farm, pig house, cowshed, and sheepfold.
Alas, she has now changed her life of hard work, and it is really boring to be idle all day, not to mention that many things on the farm have not yet been taken care of.
Although the breeding shed was built, in fact, there were not many animals in it, there were only a dozen chickens in the chicken farm, only five and a half pigs in the pig house, two cow babies in the cowshed, and only the sheepfold was about the same, with more than 30 sheep.
Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, this can also be regarded as breeding?
Call Steward Liu and ask him to send people to the farmer's house in a nearby village to buy a large number of eggs, pigs, cows, and sheep.
At the same time, a few breeding experts were recruited in the village to divide the labor to manage and feed these animals.
Now is the slack season, the strong laborers in the village are idle and have nothing to do, as soon as Steward Liu greeted, twenty or thirty people came.
Steward Liu left four people and sent them to work with the original breeders on four farms, while the others were sent to nearby villages to buy pigs, sheep, cattle and eggs.
After a few days, the various enclosures have begun to take shape.
There were twenty pigs of various sizes in the pig barn, sixty or seventy sheep in the sheepfold, and the chicken farm received more than 300 eggs, only the cattle received the least, only three old cows, two prime-age cows, and two cow babies, plus the original two cow babies, a total of less than ten.
Steward Liu also asked the tenants to bring six puppies and two cats from relatives and friends.
The four dogs were divided into four breeding rooms, one for each of the four breeding rooms, and two for Xiao Yao to keep at the gate of the manor, and one to the third courtyard door where Xiao Yao lived, and only for Xiao Yao to watch the yard.
The cats are kept in the Zhuangzi free-range, mainly to prevent rats from trampling the grain in the granary.
Xiao Yao felt satisfied and happy in his heart. is worthy of being a big housekeeper, and he is thoughtful.
I didn't think about it so much.
There is Qiusheng outside, and there is Steward Liu inside.
He is really his right-hand man and assistant.
How much less worry about yourself?
Xiao Yao gave instructions to the breeders of the four farms according to the advanced breeding methods mentioned in the breeding book, telling them to come to him when they encounter problems.

Let Steward Liu distribute sufficient corn and other main feeds to each farm.
He started hatching chicks.
She first had a large kang set up in a house in the chicken farm, and then spread an inch thick wheat straw on the kang, holding a thermometer in her hand, and (of course, she had brought it before) to let the kang be added to the fire for a while, and the fire would be reduced for a while.
It took a whole day of back and forth to find the optimal temperature for hatching chicks on the book.
Xiao Yao did it while teaching the breeders of the chicken farm.
She specially found two shrewd and capable women in the village who were about 30 years old to carry out the hatching business with her.
Put 300 eggs carefully on the wheat straw on the kang, and cover the eggs with a thin layer of wheat straw, Xiao Yao asked the two women to measure the temperature on the kang with the temperature after half an hour, and the temperature must be kept at about 37 to 38 degrees.
The ground should also be sprinkled with water from time to time to maintain a certain humidity.
Both women learned to use a thermometer, and Xiao Yao was relieved to go back.
Every day she has to go to the hatchery to have a look, and the rest of the time she directs the helpers to build the greenhouse in the back garden, and she wants to build a greenhouse where fresh vegetables can grow in all seasons.
Let the people in his village have fresh vegetables to eat all the time.
Because during the holiday period for herself, she was not in a hurry to work, when she woke up every day, and when she packed up and called someone to do it.
As the saying goes, "Chicken, chicken, twenty-one."
On the twenty-first day, the eggs on the kang began to move, and the goose-yellow chicks pecked open the shells and hatched.
Of the three hundred eggs, more than one hundred and thirty chickens were hatched, and the rest were unfertilized eggs.
Xiao Yao is very happy that the chick hatched successfully!
In the future, the chicken farm can hatch its own chicks, and there is no need to buy them in the village.
The two village women looked at the chirping chicken baby in amazement, and threw themselves to the ground in their hearts for Xiao Yao's admiration.
To tell the truth, Xiao Yao asked them to guard the temperature of the kang at the beginning, saying that they wanted to hatch chicks, but they didn't say it, and laughed in their hearts: It has always been the business of the hen mother-in-law to hatch chicks, how could a man in the owner do such a thing?
How can a kang hatch chicks?
In the face of the facts, the two women no longer doubted the ability of the owner, and they did not hesitate to obey Xiao Yao from the outside to the heart.
Xiao Yao asked them to vacate a big room in the chicken farm, built a sawdust stove in the house, built a wheat straw nest for the chickens to sleep at night, and raised the chickens in the house first, and then put them outside in the open chicken farm to raise them freely.
There are more than a dozen chickens outside, including two males, eight females, and four or five half-sized chickens.
Xiao Yao asked them to pay attention to collecting eggs every day, and if they had enough for a hundred, they would hatch the chicks on the kang as they had done the first time.
In this way, the size of the chicken farm will be expanded very quickly.
The problem of the chicken farm was solved, and Xiao Yao's greenhouse was also built.
In the previous life, the main material used to build a greenhouse was plastic film, which was both light and windproof and insulated.
Xiao Yao asked the workers from the village to build a rectangular wooden frame one person high with wood, and built one in two or three points, a total of five in the back garden.
Because Xiao Yao's newly built Zhuangzi has expanded the area, not only from the three-entry yard to the four-in, the length has increased, the width has also increased by more than ten meters, the original back garden, expanded more than twice as much, more than two acres of land, one acre of land Xiao Yao has planted various fruit tree seedlings in the spring, and the remaining more than one acre of land against the wall is used to build a greenhouse.
