Sign in and get rich in farming

When Yu Sanlang saw his daughter paying attention to several children, he felt something in his heart.

He had originally thought of finding two strong women, who could both guard the house and provide protection, and who could also help his wife with some physical work. But when he saw his daughter like this, he remembered that his daughter didn't even have a playmate of the same age.

Yu Sanlang thought about taking the two little girls with him to play with Hongdou when he returned.

Duan Zhuangtou quickly noticed the master's gaze, and immediately raised his hand to call over a few children who were weeding and digging wild vegetables in the fields.

"Third sister and fourth sister, come here!" Duan Zhuangtou called the two oldest girls to the front of the master's house.

The people in the village had known about the change of owner for a long time. Now seeing Zhuangtou Duan accompanied by a few people, they couldn't help but secretly guess which one was the new master.

The two little girls were called to Duan Zhuangtou's front, with some fear on their faces. Their big eyes with distinct black and white on their dark faces stared at Duan Zhuangtou nervously, not daring to look at the Yu family and others.

"Master and Madam, Young Master and Young Miss, these are Qian Yi and Qian Er's sisters, let's call them Third Sister and Fourth Sister." Duan Zhuangtou introduced.

Qian Sanmei and Qian Simei, aged ten and eight respectively, were old enough to understand things, so they quickly paid their respects to the Yu family.

Xu glanced at them and then at her husband, and nodded quietly, indicating that although the two girls looked shabby, they were proper etiquette.

Yu Sanlang smiled and said to his daughter, "Hongdou, there are crops ahead, and it's drying and tiring. Let's go take a look and I'll tell you later. How about you go and play around with these two girls?"

Yu Hongdou glanced at the large fields of crops in front of her, then looked up at the sun rising higher in the sky, nodded happily, and agreed with her father's suggestion.

She also wanted to know why the farmers in the seemingly magnificent farm looked so miserable. Was it intentional or was there some hidden story?

Qian Sanmei and Qian Simei grew up in the manor and knew from what they had seen and heard that if they could be favored by the owner of the manor, they could leave the manor and live in the city. Otherwise, they would be trapped in the manor for the rest of their lives and would not be able to leave.

Now that I have the opportunity to get along with the lady, I naturally feel awe and anticipation, and I want to do my best to please her.

Seeing that the two girls were a little reserved, Yu Hongdou took the initiative to ask, "Are there any beautiful flowers and plants in the farm?"

"The most beautiful flowers should be the roses in the front yard. Not only are they beautiful, but they are also very fragrant. Also, the lotus flowers in front of the main courtyard, you can pick lotus leaves and lotus pods." Qian Sanmei hesitated and answered nervously.

"Are there any others?" Yu Hongdou already knew all about it, but she was ignorant and had never seen lotus essential oil.

And it is such a waste to make lotus essential oil.

"Sister, why don't you take the young lady to the back mountain?" Qian Simei mustered up the courage to pull her sister.

"There is a hill behind Zhuangzi, which is covered with yellow wild flowers. Almost the entire hill is covered with them." Qian Sanmei also thought of this, so she followed her sister's suggestion and mentioned this to the young lady.

Hearing this description, Yu Hongdou became interested. She now hoped to have a kind of wild flower that was cheap and abundant, and preferably had a pleasant fragrance, so that she could pick it at will.

"Let's go and take a look!" Yu Hongdou showed the momentum of being the boss.

To go to the back mountain, you have to pass by where farmers live, and where farmers live is at the edge of the farmland.

Yu Hongdou was shocked when she saw the farmers' settlement that was half earth caves and half straw huts on the edge of the field.

In her previous life, she had seen poor families in the village, and had even seen the miserable conditions in poorer and more remote mountainous areas on the Internet.

When Yu Hongdou came from the book, what she couldn't accept was the absurd plot, but she never had any complaints about her living environment because she had seen worse ones.

Yu Hongdou didn't dare to enter the house. She just peeked inside through the door. Inside was a cellar without even a window.

There were earthen walls and a mud kang, with some crushed straw spread on the kang. There was not even an iron pot on the stove, only a large earthenware pot.

At this moment, Yu Hongdou felt that Huang Shiren was not enough to describe herself as the owner of the manor. She was definitely a combination of Huang Shiren and Zhou Paopi.

"Why don't you build a house? I see there are many stones and trees in the village." Yu Hongdou knew that her question sounded a bit unreasonable, but she was really curious.

Logically speaking, to guard the farm, there should be no shortage of stones and wood. At least you can build a wooden house, right?

"The stones and wood belong to the owner. We dare not move them, and we don't have the money to buy them." Qian Sanmei told the young lady truthfully.

Yu Hongdou thought about the magnificent main courtyard in front and fell silent.

"Miss, the head of the farm said that he can keep 40% of the harvest this year, which is a big surprise. In the past, we kept 30% so that we wouldn't go hungry. Now 40% is not only enough to feed us, but we can also have some left over." Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Qian Sanmei hurriedly explained.

"Yes, miss. I heard that some farms only keep 20%, and some people even starve to death." Qian Simei nodded. Because she was young, the adults often did not avoid her when they talked about things outside.

"Miss, let's go see the flowers. I'll make a wreath and bracelets for you." Qian Sanmei was a little anxious seeing that the young lady was unhappy.

"I'll weave one for your lady." Qian Simei excitedly led the way.

Yu Hongdou went with the flow, but shock and silence could not change anything, she had to take practical action.

Take your time. You have to understand the situation here thoroughly first. There may be no faster and more reliable way to make money than making horn soap.

As soon as this thought flashed through Yu Hongdou's mind, she saw a mountain of gold.

It really is a golden mountain. On the low hill, it is covered with golden chrysanthemums, gradually spreading from the bottom to the top. It is more beautiful and shocking than the artificially laid chrysanthemums when I watched "Curse of the Golden Flower".

Yu Hongdou took a deep breath, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise eight degrees. It turned out to be yellow chrysanthemum!

Yellow chrysanthemum has the effects of dispelling wind and heat, promoting salivation and moistening the throat, nourishing the eyes and relieving alcohol.

Yu Hongdou was obsessed with various types of chrysanthemum tea for a while. Firstly, it looked good when brewed in a health-preserving teapot, which could tempt her to drink more water. Secondly, chrysanthemum tea had good health-preserving effects and tasted refreshing and sweet.

Yellow chrysanthemum, in particular, is the favorite scented tea of ​​health expert Yu Hongdou because of its color and petals that are not easy to fall off and its high flower integrity.

It seems that no one uses it to make tea now, but yellow chrysanthemum is also considered a medicinal herb, but it is rarely used because there are too many herbs with similar effects.

Yu Hongdou decided to pick some yellow chrysanthemums and take them home to make tea to see if it tasted like the ones in later times. If so, how could she create a selling point to spark a trend of elegant and healthy living.

It's just like the "custom" of uncles buying shoes for their nephews/nieces, mothers buying canned food for their daughters, and aunts buying red clothes for their nieces.
