In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

He Sanlang said, "Mother, please don't mention Second Aunt. It's good enough that she didn't take the sweet potatoes to Xu's house. How can you expect her to have any other feelings?"

He Qiudi glanced at He Sanlang and signaled him not to complain.

Second brother and He Qinglu are here.

When they are no longer around, you can say.

At least we need to take care of the young heart of this little girl, He Qinglu.

The government took away the sweet potatoes that the He family sold to them.

County Magistrate Du told the He family that they could eat the sweet potatoes themselves and give them to the villagers of Shiliu Village, but no one was allowed to sell the sweet potatoes privately outside Shiliu Village, nor was anyone allowed to pass the news to people outside of Shiliu Village.

If anyone is found to have leaked secrets, the crime is tantamount to treason and the punishment is severe: property will be confiscated and the entire family will be exterminated.

At the same time, the people of Pomegranate Village were gathered together to explain the importance of this matter.

The He family's sweet potato fields will be guarded by someone until all the crops are harvested.

He Qiudi knew that sweet potatoes were very important at banquets.

He had to go back to the city to arrange the storage of sweet potatoes during the banquet. He Qiudi went back to the city with him. It might be too late to eat the sweet potatoes today.

On the road.

He Qiudi told Yan Shi the method of preserving sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are not cold-resistant, so their cultivation cannot be promoted in the north, but the sweet potatoes she planted are varieties improved in later generations and are highly cold-resistant. They can be stored in cellars as long as a cellar is dug.

After winter comes, you need to turn the sweet potatoes over every once in a while when the weather is warm, pick out the necrotic ones, and keep the environment in the cellar away from humidity, otherwise it will be difficult to preserve them.

Sweet potatoes have a high yield, which means they consume a lot of land.

After planting sweet potatoes in the same field, it will take three to five years before planting them again. Otherwise, the fertile land will easily turn into saline-alkali land.

However, He Qiudi wrote all these planting details into the popular science book and gave it to Yan Shi.

During the banquet, professional personnel from Sinong Company will be hired to handle professional matters, so she doesn't need to worry about this anymore.

He also suggested not to show too much concern for sweet potatoes during the banquet, as this would instead give the hidden spies in Ningyuan County an opportunity.

He accepted all the requests during the banquet.

After the government carriage entered the city, He Qiudi planned to go to He's grocery store.

Before Qiudi got off the car, Yanshi said apologetically, "Qiudi, we agreed to eat roasted sweet potatoes together today, but I didn't make it. Next time when we harvest sweet potatoes, I will have a good meal with you."

"it is good."

Actually, it’s not that I don’t have the opportunity to eat sweet potatoes today.

But it's inconvenient.

After all, County Magistrate Du came here with us. Although he is old, he seems to be even happier than during the banquet.

After saying goodbye to Yan Shi, Yang Liu escorted He Qiudi to He’s grocery store, where he unexpectedly met Du Yueqing.

Because of the conflict between her and Yan Shi, the young lady was sentenced to 100 days of hard labor to build the city wall.

Later, he still didn't give up and asked someone to teach her a lesson, but she beat him up instead.

Long time no see.

The county magistrate's granddaughter was still afraid of the last time He Qiudi beat her up.

Seeing He Qiudi coming back, Du Yueqing subconsciously shrank her neck and wanted to hide behind the shelf, but then she remembered that she came to He's grocery store to buy things, so she straightened her back and looked at He Qiudi without any fear.

"Humph, I haven't done anything wrong recently, I'm not afraid of you. He Qiudi, you are arrogant now, but so what. I came to your grocery store to buy soap. If it wasn't out of stock elsewhere, do you think I would come?"

He Qiudi: “…”

It seems that it was because she beat Du Yueqing up last time that she learned her lesson.

She didn't even know that she was so terrifying.

He Qiudi didn't care about Du Yueqing, but came to the store to ask about the sales of soap and perfumed soap.

Du Yueqing asked for fifty bars of soap in one breath.

He Qiudi did not take a penny less and made Du Yueqing pay a full five taels of silver.

Du Yueqing gave it very readily.

It seems that these five taels of silver are just like five cents.

This made He Qiudi sigh, it was great to have a grandfather who was a county magistrate and a father who was a prefect.

No wonder, he looked down on his original self before.

Classes are different.

Du Yueqing gave the money, asked the maid to carry fifty bars of soap, and left the He family grocery store in a proud manner.

He Qiudi retracted her gaze and shook her head. Du Yueqing had not caused trouble for her or the He family since the last time she beat her up. She was not a petty person, so she did not cause trouble for Du Yueqing.

She did this because of the loyalty and bravery of the Du family and the fact that County Magistrate Du died for his country.

Meeting Du Yueqing was just a small episode. He Qiudi came to the grocery store to look through the account books. After confirming the goods that needed to be replenished, he took Yang Liu to buy some eggs, two rabbits, two pheasants, and two fish, and then went home.

The first phase of the He family's autumn harvest has been basically completed.

The next main task is to dry the wheat, rice, peanuts, soybeans, mung beans, red beans and other grains and store them at home.

The house at home has been mostly repaired.

Now the only thing left to be repaired is the back house connecting the east and west wing rooms.

However, the He family’s soap business is now flourishing.

The He family has already bought all the vacant land around the He family from the village, and plans to build a small courtyard outside the backyard and use this courtyard as a soap workshop.

Enclosing the workshop also makes operations easier.

After building a formal workshop, the He family had to buy slaves to work. With the workers' indentures, although the formula could not be kept 100% confidential, it at least increased safety.

If you add people to your home, you need to add rooms.

Three houses were built in the back row of the east and west wings before, and now three more houses are to be built opposite the three newly built houses.

After it is completed, build the main house and the back house.

In other words, two more courtyard-like houses need to be built.

Fortunately, the He family’s land is large enough to be renovated.

After making such a plan.

The building materials originally purchased for the family are no longer enough.

He Huaian planned to take advantage of the completion of the first phase of autumn harvest at home to make another trip to Lizhou to purchase building materials, deliver a batch of soap and perfumed soap, and purchase goods for the grocery store.

During the autumn harvest season, things in grocery stores sell particularly well, and even if they are fully prepared, many goods are almost sold out.

This made He Huaian even more certain that during the years that Wei Sixian had run the grocery store, the money she had earned had already exceeded a thousand taels.

In addition to asking her to return the He family's property, she was only asked to pay a compensation of 500 taels, which was really a bargain for her.

Forget it.

Since the matter had already been revealed before, there was no need for him to care about it anymore.

After the first phase of autumn harvest was over, the He family spent two days making soap, and then He Qiudi went to Licheng with He Huaian and He Huaiping.

This trip to Licheng.

In addition to selling goods and purchasing, she also comes to bring rain.

I have been here for four months.

As she expected, the rainfall area remained the same.

It’s the same as when you were three months old, half a pound is rice.

Choosing to make it rain in Lizhou can cover many counties around Lizhou City and even reach the territory of Lan County.

It's raining.

As usual, they stayed in Lizhou for two nights and one day, and drove back to Shiliu Village early on the third day.

When I returned to Shiliu Village, I learned that Wei Sixian had taken He Qingshu and He Erlang back to Wei County.

It was Jin Cuihua who came to report the news.

After she finished speaking, Jin Cuihua couldn't help but complain, "My eldest sister-in-law suspected that my second sister-in-law had stolen the soap formula when she returned to Xu's. My eldest sister-in-law and Qing Shuhe were very attentive to her. This time when they returned to Wei County, could they have taken the soap formula with them?"
