After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Mingjun had rarely seen people raising chickens and ducks in Tianjia Village before. Somewhat curious, he turned to Granny Yan and asked: "Grandma Yan, do the eggs we usually eat at home come from the village?"

Mrs. Yan quickly answered the young master's question: "There are too few chickens that can lay eggs. My wife told me to keep the eggs first and see if we can hatch some chicks."

The young woman working on the side quickly interjected after hearing this: "There are a lot of eggs left. The chicks have just been hatched in the past two days, and they are in that room. Master, do you want to go and have a look?"

Mrs. Yan frowned a little. She didn't want the young master and the young lady to enter the yard where chickens and ducks were raised. But obviously the young master and the young lady were very interested in going in to see the hatching eggs and duck eggs.

The yard has been kept fairly clean, but I haven't noticed any smell yet. But as soon as I got close to the incubation room, the smell became a bit pungent.

Mingjun and Mingjia also wrinkled their little noses, but still entered the house. The house is a standard northern earthen kang, with some dry straw spread on it. It was also covered with a tattered quilt.

Mingjia couldn't see the situation on the earthen bed, so she turned to look at her brother and then at Granny Yan. Mingjia still accepted her fate and opened her hands to Granny Yan: "Hug!"

Seeing that the young master and young lady were really curious, the woman reached out and gently opened a corner of the quilt to reveal a few round eggs. Mingjun couldn't help but reach out and touch the eggs to see if they were different from ordinary eggs.

Mingjia asked the woman: "How long does it take to hatch?"

The woman quickly replied: "If I tell you, the chicks will be ready in about 21 days! The ducks will be ready in about 28 days."

Ming Jia saw that the woman was talking to him. The first half of the sentence was deliberately official, which was a bit formal, and the second half was the local dialect. I feel like she has a cute and honest look.

"Are there any scholars in your family?" Ming Jia asked the woman. She looked like she was only in her early twenties. If he were in modern times, he might still be a student.

The woman suddenly blushed, feeling that she must have said something wrong just now and the lady had discovered it. He quickly explained: "My husband's surname is Yang. He is a boy. Now he is copying books at Shiqulou in the city."

Ming Jun was originally looking at the duck eggs and eggs, but suddenly he looked at the woman when he heard her words. The young woman suddenly blushed even more. Their whole family was very grateful to Mr. Xiao and his family.

Last year, when the family's child fell ill, we relied on the money my husband earned from copying books to go to Lin County to seek treatment from a doctor. When he knew that his wife would bring the young master and the young lady to Zhuangzi, the husband said that he must serve the young master and the young lady well.

When she was working before, she also brought her children to Zhuangzi. The child really likes to watch chickens and ducks hatching, so she had the courage to say what she said just now.

Ming Jia noticed the woman's nervousness and quickly said, "Thank you for bringing us here. My brother and I like it very much." The woman suddenly lost her nervousness and quickly said she didn't dare.

After leaving the breeding yard, Mingjun wanted to see the fruit trees. Mingjia felt that there was no rush to look at the fruit trees that had just grown leaves: "Brother, let's go back for lunch first! Mother is waiting for us."

Anyway, they will stay in Zhuangzi for a few more days, and Mingjia wants to take advantage of this opportunity. Make some plans for Zhuangzi. After the weather gets warmer, Mingjia opens the last few clay pots.

I found that most of them were broken, but there was one clay pot that seemed to have actually fermented into fruit wine. However, Mingjia didn't dare to try it and basically threw it away in the end.

The original plan was to open two clay pots every half month, but Mingjia always forgot. The sealing of earthenware jars is not as good as that of glass jars, but it was still fine a month ago.

Finally, Mingjia calculated the cost and storage time, and found that there was no need to consider any canning workshops.

Mingjia previously considered soybean oil extraction and found that with the current technology, the processed soybean oil is not edible. And she will not continue to refine soybean oil.

Now it is discovered that her plan to build an orchard in Quxian County is because there are not enough fruit saplings, and only a few hundred saplings can be added every year.

I want to make the fruit into cans and sell them all the way to the capital through the Huang family's escort agency and caravan during the winter. It was found that the shelf life of cans made from clay pots is no more than 2 months at most.

The caravans always stop and go, loading the trucks as soon as the production is finished. It needs to be sold out immediately when it arrives in the capital, and then customers will eat it immediately after buying it home.

With this kind of extreme operation, Mingjia feels that even the current logistics and business models are difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. This is without considering the cost.

Mingjia took stock of the "good ideas" she had considered to make a fortune! At present, Zhiqulou is really implemented, and it is really making money.

But Mingjia’s original intention of starting Zhiqulou was not to make money! She really wanted to help the students in Qu County take the imperial examination and improve her father's performance.

The most important thing is that as a time traveler, she wanted to do something with some sentiment and historical significance. It is to spread and pass on some crafts that were lost due to the war and agricultural knowledge in many books.

The current situation is really unintentional. Qu County’s Shiqulou is already very famous in several nearby counties. When the hospital examination in Sichuan Province ends in May, I believe Shiqulou will spread throughout Sichuanzhou.

Forget it, let’s do this! Let Qu County develop stably for two years! Dad's efforts to reduce various taxes for Qu County were halved, which was enough for Qu County to recover quickly.

At least the people in Qu County can have enough to eat, which is already a great achievement.

Although, Mingjia was a little discouraged by the successive failures. But Mingjia quickly adjusted her mood. On the third day at Zhuangzi, Mingjia began to order people to prepare large flower pots for raising pepper seedlings.

Mrs. Dong looked at her daughter who was now full of energy and let her do whatever she wanted. Mrs. Shui advised Ms. Dong to be more restrained, as she was worried that she would get used to playing around and forget the rules in front of outsiders.

Mrs. Dong smiled and asked Mrs. Shui, "Did she make any mistakes in her appearance as a government lady outside?" Mrs. Shui thought about it for a while, and she really didn't.

Ms. Dong watched her daughter order people to dig the soil, and recalled her daughter's full homework before. She said with some distress: "She is only 5 years old. It is too late to restrain her after she turns 7. You see, Mingjun is older, and she won't be restrained now." I will accompany Jiajia to fool around."

Mrs. Shui and Mrs. Yan looked at each other and did not dare to tell their wife the truth. Mingjun pestered the Thirteenth Master and the Fourteenth Master to teach him how to ride a horse, but he was too excited to pay attention to the intensity.

The young master's thighs have been a little worn out in the past two days, so Thirteen and Fourteenth went to Mrs. Shui privately to ask for some medicine for Young Master Mingjun. Mingjun acted coquettishly and begged them not to tell his wife.

So Master Mingjun has been very honest these two days, just standing there and watching his sister Mingjia playing around. Because his leg injury hasn’t healed yet!
