The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

Chapter 177
Xiaji Farm outside the city ushered in another bumper harvest after the autumn harvest.

The fields here are completely different from the bare fields elsewhere. Many crops are planted in the fields near the water source, which are full of vitality and fruitful.

Ding Daqiang brought everyone to the farm, and Chen Yongtian and others were stunned by the harvest scene in front of them.

The fields in the farm are all planted in batches, and the place where they got off the carriage happened to be in a cucumber field.

The cucumbers in the field are growing well. Standing on the ridge of the field and looking over, you can see many large and small cucumbers hanging on the vines. If you have good eyesight, you can also see small yellow flowers on the vines.

When the farmer in charge of the mound saw the steward bringing people over, he hurriedly picked some cucumbers and ran over.

"Everyone has come from afar, it's hard work. This is the cucumber I planted, you come all the way, taste this cucumber to moisten your mouth."

As he spoke, he handed each of them a cucumber.

As soon as Chen Yongtian got off the carriage, he picked up a cucumber. Looking at the cucumber with small thorns, he laughed loudly: "This cucumber grows well and is fresh enough."

The man at the next table was named Yu Quan, and the three men at the same table all came together.

Yu Quan directly licked off the small thorns on it, and took a bite with a 'click': "Crispy and sweet, the taste is good!"

After hearing his words, Chen Yongtian couldn't wait to take a bite, the taste was not inferior to the one his wife planted in the yard.

While eating, he asked, "Master Ding, are you also in charge of this farm?"

Ding Daqiang shook his head with a smile, pointed to Yonggen standing beside him, and said, "Yonggen, go and call that kid Zuo Jiuchuan."

Yong Gen responded and ran away first.

Ding Daqiang saw that people ran away, so he smiled and said: "I am only in charge of Huaxia Real Estate Firm now, and Zuo Jiuchuan is in charge of Tianzhuang here. You can talk to him about what you need."

"Treasurer Ding is a capable person. Wherever your princess needs you, I will let you take charge of the overall situation. It can be seen that you are very popular with the princess."

"Haha, Brother Chen has won the prize!"

Regardless of whether he is favored by the princess or not, Ding Daqiang is still very useful to hear this from others.

The two were talking when Zuo Jiuchuan came over from another ridge.

After everyone got to know each other, Chen Yongtian ate the last bit of cucumber, wiped his mouth and asked, "Officer Zuo, besides cucumbers, what summer vegetables does your farm have?"

This question is also what other people are most concerned about. Everyone pricked up their ears and wanted to know what was planted in this farm?
Zuo Jiuchuan led everyone to other planting areas, and replied: "Because of transportation issues, the summer vegetables grown in the farm this year are all convenient for transportation and storage. Let me go and have a look, if you are satisfied, you are welcome to order."

Chen Yongtian and Yu Quan looked at each other with anticipation in their eyes.

Whether or not enough supplies can be brought back this time depends on this trip to the farm.

They just browsed all the vegetables in the farm, and the two of them were dumbfounded.

There are many varieties, but most of them have never seen them, and only a few varieties they know.

"Officer Zuo, where did you get these vegetable seeds?"

Zuo Jiuchuan glanced at everyone's suspicious eyes, and smiled: "The varieties are all taught to me by the princess. I heard from her that they were found from overseas."

"An extra thing? I think the princess should know about it. Can I eat it? How does it taste?" Afraid of their misunderstanding, Chen Yongtian explained: "I'm not worried that these vegetables are poisonous, but mainly worried about whether the taste of this dish is that of us Dayu people. Acceptable?"

If you can't accept this taste, no one will pay for it, no matter how rare it is.

"No matter how delicious I say, you can't realize how delicious it is. Why don't you let the kitchen clean up at noon and let everyone taste the taste of these new vegetables. What do you think?" Zuo Jiuchuan suggested.

Chen Yongtian agreed: "That's a good idea, so I won't bother you at noon!"

"Don't bother, don't bother, I'm too happy if you can stay for a light meal." Zuo Jiuchuan invited people back to the yard and arranged for lunch in the kitchen.

Sanjin's house was newly built after the land reclamation of the farm. It was Xia Jing's other courtyard in the farm. The group of people were all big men, they didn't want to wander around, so they sat in the front yard and gossiped.

Chen Yongtian remembered that when he came over, he saw the buildings on the mountainside in the distance, and asked Zuo Jiuchuan: "Master Zuo, when we came over, we saw that the rows of houses on the opposite side of the mountainside were for tenants?"

When Zuo Jiuchuan heard this question, he probably knew where he was referring, "The halfway up the mountain opposite is the farm of our farm, and the rows of houses you see are the factory buildings of the farm."

"Farm?"

This word is heard for the first time by everyone.

"Yes, the farm." Zuo Jiuchuan explained to everyone what kinds of poultry and livestock were raised in the farm.

Chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep are all bred. In fact, Grange cattle are also bred, but the bred cattle are used to plow the fields, not to be slaughtered.

"Poultry and livestock can be raised in a centralized manner? This is the first time I've heard of this farming method." This farming method shocked Yu Quan, but he was also very interested.

It’s just that he hasn’t proposed to go to the farm, Zuo Jiuchuan said first: “This breeding method was proposed by the princess, but unfortunately, in order to avoid poultry and livestock getting sick, non-breeding personnel are not allowed to enter the farm. The breeding area, otherwise, I can take you to see it."

"You can't go in." Everyone could hear Yu Quan's regretful tone.

It's just that the owner has explained this, so it's not good for everyone to force them to visit.

Zuo Jiuchuan said apologetically: "Please forgive me, this rule was set by the princess herself, and it's not good for me to take the lead in violating it as the manager of the farm."

"It doesn't matter, the guest does as he pleases, and the left steward doesn't have to blame himself." Chen Yongtian smoothed things out with a smile, "Why don't we just sit here anyway, so why not go to the kitchen and see how the cooks cook?"

Hearing this, Ding Daqiang clapped his hands happily, "Brother Chen's words are right on point. There are new vegetables, and I just want to learn a trick or two, so that I can know how to make this new dish at home in the future!"

In the end, everyone agreed to go to the kitchen to learn two tricks.

In fact, cooking in this era basically relies on stewing or boiling. Xia Jing, who is used to cooking, couldn't stand it, so she taught the cook a lot of cooking methods.

No, the cook who learned a lot of new dishes finally played a role this time.

The cook also wanted to show off her cooking skills in front of the guests. The two sides reached a consensus. A group of people stood by and watched, and the cook stood busy in front of the stove.

There are not too many dishes that can be paired with green peppers and red peppers, such as fried meat with green peppers and garlic sprouts, scrambled eggs with tiger skin and green peppers, stuffed meat with green peppers, etc. As for red peppers, there are more dishes that can be paired, and the red color is both beautiful and delicious.

The eggplant cook only made two dishes, one is eggplant stew and the other is roasted eggplant with garlic.

For the beans, pumpkins, cucumbers, and tomatoes in the back, the cook made two dishes respectively.

The cooks were as fierce as tigers in one meal, and it took them half an hour to cook a table of meals.

All kinds of delicacies were served on the table, making a group of grown men salivate.

This is a way of cooking that they have never seen before, and the same ingredients they have never seen before. After eating a meal, everyone didn't control their mouths and just ate their fill!

"Shopkeeper Ding, Manager Zuo, I want to order two thousand catties for each of these vegetables, and I will come to load them tomorrow, and try to return the day after tomorrow, and return to Changsha County before the Chinese New Year, in time to earn a wave of money before the year!" Chen Yongtian ate Satisfied, I started to place an order with a swipe of my mouth.

These fresh, out-of-season vegetables were shipped back before the Chinese New Year, so that the rich and powerful in Changsha County could taste a wave of fresh dishes, and the price could even double.
"Okay, okay, I'll ask the tenants to help pick vegetables tomorrow!" Zuo Jiuchuan cheerfully wrote down the quantity.

What Chen Yongtian could think of, Yu Quan also thought of. Seeing that Chen Yongtian took the opportunity when he was not paying attention, he was not to be outdone, "Mr. Zuo, I will order three thousand catties of each vegetable, and I will bring someone over tomorrow Load the car, and return with Team Leader Chen the day after tomorrow, and everyone happens to have someone to take care of them along the way!"

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange more tenants to help pick vegetables tomorrow." Zuo Jiuchuan smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. He was worried about the sales of vegetables, but he didn't expect customers to come to his door!
Chen Yongtian turned his head and glanced at him unexpectedly, "Brother is luckier than me. My caravan has already loaded a lot. It can barely hold two thousand catties. If there is more, I won't be able to transport it back."

Yu Quan chuckled and said, "God's blessing, the supplies shipped back this time are too little, and it didn't turn out to be another village. It's really lucky!"

In the 35th year of Huiyuan, many major events took place in the Dayu Dynasty.

Successive years of drought have caused the people to live in dire straits, the Beidi invaded, the rebel army was established, the imperial court moved southward, and Emperor Huiyuan died.

No matter how many disasters and disasters this year, it will not affect the busyness of the people for the New Year.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter and the last two months of the end of the year, everyone in Xiaji Farm in Lingnan was extremely busy.

Ding Daqiang used his connections at the salt shop to pull many caravans from the city to the farm.

The leaders of these caravans, seeing the delicacy of off-season vegetables, boldly placed orders.

The caravan suddenly increased, which caused the people in the farm to be overwhelmed.

The picking, weighing, and loading of vegetables all require personnel to complete.

The tenants of the farm are secretly having fun while they are busy. This year is the first time in three years that they no longer have to worry about the New Year.

The people are preparing for the New Year, and Xia Jing is also preparing for the New Year.

Years ago, all the ledgers of shops, farms, iron workshops, salt fields, cement factories, textile factories, and farms, etc., were collected on Xia Jing's desk.

Fortunately, the accounts have been settled, and what is summarized is only the general ledgers of various industries.

The running water is several million guan, which is really not a small amount. Fortunately, Xia Jing's calculation ability is good, and it didn't delay her much time.

There are also the New Year's gifts sent to employees everywhere at the end of the year, and the red envelopes that need to be given during the New Year. Ye Fei has taken care of these for her, and she only needs to sign.

Seeing Ye Fei's handsome back going out holding the ledger, Xia Jing asked Hongmei: "Do you think I misplaced Ye Fei?"

She is obviously the domineering president Fan, but she has been turned into a small assistant!
Hongmei was burying her head in sorting out the books, she was slightly taken aback when she heard what she said, "What position does the princess think he is suitable for?"

Xia Jing propped her chin, tilted her head slightly to look at Hongmei, and parted her red lips lightly: "Just because of his extraordinary skill, strong martial arts, and good handling ability, he can be qualified for the position of chief executive!"

Hongmei: "." Princess, how dare you think!
Having said that, Xia Jing's eyes lit up: "Tell me, what if I let him be my boss?"

"Ahem!" Hongmei coughed fiercely in fright, and it took a while before she calmed down, "Princess, are you serious?"

Xia Jing nodded: "Ye Fei's ability is unquestionable, plus he is bold and careful, staying by my side makes me feel particularly safe.

Besides, the most important point is his ability to handle affairs. He can handle the things I entrusted him to do very well and beautifully.This saves me a lot of energy and time! "

"But." Hongmei considered the words in her heart, and said in a low voice: "But the position of chief executive is really not something that anyone dares to use!"

It was the imperial palace that set up this position. If the concubine continued to use this position, she would be known by the people above within three days, which would endanger her life!

Xia Jing glanced helplessly at her maid, "Can't you turn your head around? We can continue to use this position, but we can change the name to the outside world, called the manager."

Baimei walked in from the outside, stepped forward to salute: "Princess, Anu is here."

"What's wrong with him?" Xia Jing asked in surprise.

Baimei shook her head, "It is said that the prince wants to invite the princess to come over, do you want Anu to come in and answer?"

Xia Jing nodded: "Let him come in and answer!"

Anumu said with a straight face: "I have seen the princess, the old slave came to invite the princess by the order of the prince."

"Do you know what he wanted me for?"

"The old slave is not very clear. The prince has been reviewing this year's account book in the past two days."

After hearing this, Xia Jing raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Why did he ask me to check the accounts? Could it be that the accounts are not clear?"

Anu urged: "Princess, please go, the prince is still waiting for you."

Xia Jing stood up, stretched her limbs, and let out a sigh of relief, "Let's go, go and have a look."

The study room in the front yard of the palace.

As soon as Xia Jing walked in, she saw a mountain of ledgers, "Hey, your ledgers here can bury people!"

"My minister has seen the princess!"

Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yan, who were sitting to check the accounts, stood up and saluted Xia Jing.

Xia Jing waved her hands, "You don't have to be polite, just sit down."

As she said that, Xia Jing found a seat and sat down, looking at the account books piled up in front of her eyes, "What's going on with you? Didn't you invite Mr. Accountant?"

"Please." King Qian looked up at her, "I came to Lingnan, and my steps were too big, and I pulled my thigh."

"These ledgers are for building roads and bridges, opening up wasteland seeds, repairing city walls, military salaries and rations, and the expenses of various government offices. Only now does this king know that these expenses add up to astronomical figures every day."

Xia Jing casually flipped through an account book, "You have a lot of expenses and a lot of income, not to mention other things, this year's autumn tax is several times that of previous years, plus salt fields and mines, don't be too rich!"

King Qian stroked his forehead, "Don't tell me about your income, no matter how much you earn, I'll feel dizzy when I see the daily consumption figure!"

After hearing what he said, Xia Jing couldn't laugh or cry, "So, why did you ask me to come here? You asked me to come here so that you can show off in front of me?"
