When the carriage turned into Kaoshan Village, County Magistrate Xu felt a different scene. Although he did not see any villagers in the fields, he saw many old people under the trees.

The old ladies, sitting in groups of two or three under the trees gossiping, did not look sad at all. Instead, they looked relaxed and content.

"Hey, look, another carriage has arrived. I guess it's going to Dachun Niang's place again."

"Of course, our village is now well-known in the surrounding area. Look how many people envy the people in our village for having work to do every day and getting paid on time."

"Of course, Shuihua's mother, your Shuihua has earned a lot of reputation for you. I heard that her needlework skills are really good, and she was chosen by Erya to be a foreman. I heard that she earns 40 coins a day!"

"Exactly. She is not like our Shuiqin, who is rude by nature, doesn't know how to do needlework, and can only earn 15 cents in the cosmetics workshop~"

The women looked at Shuihua Niang one by one, feeling very envious.

The Water Flower Lady smiled and said, "If you ask me, in today's world, having 15 cents a day is not bad. Look at how many people don't even have a penny in their bank account. It's a problem to even have a bowl of porridge."

"Yes!" Everyone couldn't help but sigh. It was really all thanks to Dachun Niang.

Magistrate Xu listened to every word the women outside said. The couple looked at each other and nodded secretly. Shen Ping was a widow, but she was really admirable.

A nosy woman here had already told Sanchun about the incoming carriage. Sanchun was waiting at the door of the workshop and saw Captain Li sitting on a tall horse from a distance.

Taking another look, he immediately recognized that it was Magistrate Xu's carriage, so Sanchun quickly sent someone back to inform Shen Ping.

At this moment, Shen Ping and her two maids were busy planting flowers in the backyard of the mansion. The flowering period of the Gesang flowers was a bit short, so they had to clear them all and sow some more.

The servants' room was built some time ago. Shen Ping asked Hong Gu to buy nearly five maids from the pawnshop. Hong Gu was directly promoted to manager, and these maids were trained uniformly by Hong Gu.

Considering that a professional is needed to take care of such a large back garden, Shen Ping specifically asked Hong Gu to find someone who knows how to manage flowers.

Thinking that Wuchun was away from home at such a young age and had no one to take care of her, Shen Ping asked Honggu to buy a smart and obedient servant and then discuss with Master Mo to see if he could go with Wuchun to the academy.

This woman named Wu, who was a human agent, saw that Hong Gu had transformed herself into a manager in less than a month, so she flattered her several times.

Thinking that my family of four was sitting here before, waiting for someone to buy. Unexpectedly, within a month, the situation was reversed, and I was promoted to the position of maid manager, and I was the one who personally selected the servants.

Thinking that she was lucky, she was fortunate that her daughters were reluctant to leave her and she met the lady, otherwise she would not know where she would be sold to. Hong Gu was filled with gratitude towards Shen Ping.

The maids she selected were all smart, sensible, hardworking, and lively. It was such a coincidence that among all the maids, there was one named Cuizhi who was once a disciple of Yihua Wang.

They specialize in managing the back gardens of wealthy families, and are also responsible for shaping, fertilizing and pest control.

Looking at the colorful flowers in the Zhang family's back garden, Cuizhi was stunned by many of the flowers she had never seen before.

Looking at the seeds that Shen Ping took out, he was amazed again. It was amazing that such flat seeds could grow such beautiful flowers.

At this moment, the two maids saw Shen Ping sweating profusely while busying herself. Cuizhi couldn't help but said distressedly, "Madam, you should go back and sit down first. Guihua and I will do this job. There isn't much left now."

"Whoo~"

Seeing that most of the work had been done, Shen Ping breathed a sigh of relief. The sun was rising higher and higher, and it was really hot and tiring. Well, let the two girls do it.

Now that you have bought so many maids, don't do everything yourself and tire yourself out.

"Madam, someone just came to the workshop. The Third Young Master said that Master Xu is here now and asked you to greet him.

Shen Ping did not expect that Lord Xu would visit at this time, and went directly to the workshop. She did not know the purpose of his visit, so she hurried back to the house to change clothes and took Xu Feng to the workshop.

County Magistrate Xu was arranged by Sanchun to work on the second floor of the workshop. He looked down at the workers busy at work. He was filled with emotion. He didn't expect Shen Ping to be so capable.

"Master, you always say that my face is white. Half of the credit goes to these cosmetics." Dong said while gesturing at her own face.

"Godfather, godmother~" Why are you here? Did you miss me? " As soon as Xu Feng came in, he hugged County Magistrate Xu and his wife.

Mrs. Dong scratched Xu Feng's nose with her hand lovingly, "Of course not. You have been here for so long and you don't want to go back. I have to come to see you. How is your pastry-making lesson with Sister Si Ya going?"

"Mrs. Xu, it's my fault that I've been busy lately." Shen Ping paused, glanced at Xu Feng and said, "I wanted to send him back, but Xu Feng said he wanted to stay longer, so I let him be."

"I know how to cook everything now. I'll go back and make some cakes for you and godfather to try." After saying that, Xu Feng turned around and ran out.

"This child..." Dong shook her head and looked at Shen Ping, smiling, "His temperament hasn't changed at all, he's always so startled."

"This child has a good temper! Although his life is so hard outside, he is not a bad person by nature. It is also our fate." said County Magistrate Xu.

While Shen Ping was greeting County Magistrate Xu, she also sent someone to notify Village Chief He. When Village Chief He heard that the County Magistrate was coming, he quickly put down his kung fu and came over.

"Sir, I didn't know you were coming. I am really ashamed for not welcoming you from afar." The village chief bowed and said.

Magistrate Xu waved his hand and said, "No need to mobilize a large army. I just came to take a look. You guys should just do what you need to do."

"Madam Shen, I just heard from the village chief that you opened a workshop and a clothing factory, so I came to take a look."

Shen Ping blushed and said with a smile: "I had wanted to invite you here a few days ago, but I knew that you were very busy, so I didn't dare to trouble you." Come, Lord Xu, Madam Xu, I'll take you to see it.

As he said this, he took County Magistrate Xu and his wife to visit the workshop, and He Guang followed behind. From lipstick to natural cream, to body lotion, and finally to nail polish, County Magistrate Xu was stunned.

Looking at this series of assembly lines, which were definitely factory models, County Magistrate Xu once again confirmed his belief that Shen Ping was a modern person.

After visiting the makeup workshop, Dong went to the garment workshop. She was very excited when she didn't expect that the new underwear Liang gave her was actually made by Shen's garment workshop.

Now the makeup workshop is on the right track. It is mainly managed by Sanchun. When encountering technical problems or product selection, he will sometimes discuss them with Erya.

Erya was in full charge of the garment workshop. She had just made some finished products these days and handed them to Dachun to take out in the morning. The next day, the shopkeeper Feng sent someone to urge her to finish the work.

It is said that this undergarment is now famous, and people buy several pieces at a time, and the supply is simply insufficient to meet the demand. The madam of the brothel has also ordered more than a hundred pieces.

It takes five or six people to make a complete piece of underwear, just like an assembly line operation.

After visiting this series of processes, County Magistrate Xu had to admire Shen Ping. This was simply a modern factory, the only difference was that there were no modern machines.
