    Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “Of course.”


    “Three dayster, the owner of Ruyi Restaurant wille to my house to discuss the coboration. There was also a high probability that someone from the Zhou Trading Company woulde over.”


    “If you’re free, you cane to my house to listen in.”


    “If we reach an agreement, I’ll sign a contract with you and reserve all the cabbages in Daishi Vige.”


    “We can then discuss our ns for theing year before winter.”


    The vige chief’s eyes were filled with excitement.


    “Good! Then I’ll meet the boss with you three dayster!”


    Lin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.


    A vige with over 100 mu ofnd would cost 2 to 3,000 taels of silver.


    Moreover, one had to wait for someone willing to sell.


    After buying the manor, she needed someone to look after it, and hiring farmers was not easy.


    Cabbage was the mostmon crop in this era. It was better to let the vigers help grow it. When the time came, they could just buy them from them. It could save a lot of trouble.


    Daishi Vige was arge vige. Thend was close to 1,000 mu. It was muchrger than an ordinary vige.


    By then, even if only half of the vigers helped grow cabbages, they would not have to worry about theing year.


    If she was worried, she could go to Shangyang Vige and talk to the vige chief about it.


    She was confident that Shangyang Vige would be happy to work with her.


    Of course, for this kind of win-win situation, her priority was still Daishi Vige, where her family was located.


    Lin Xiaoyue discussed more details with the vige chief again before she left.


    After leaving the vige chief’s house, Lin Xiaoyue went to Carpenter Sun’s house.


    After that, she went to Craftsman Li Mie’s house.


    She contracted Li Mie for a whole year.


    It was to prepare for the chilies in the manor next year. At present, the family did notck tools to make spicy cabbage.


    Because there were not many cold cakes at home now, after the wooden buckets were empty, they could be used to make spicy cabbage.


    Lin Xiaoyue only returned home after she had ordered the goods from Li Mie.


    Not long after she reached home, Zhou Shi arrived.


    Other than the coachman, there were actually seven other people who came with her.


    They were the servants that Zhou Shi had bought for the Liu family.


    “I bought them ording to your request.” Zhou Shi said to Lin Xiaoyue.


    “Please introduce yourselves.” As she spoke, she looked at the few people standing there.


    The old man came forward and bowed to Liu Shi and Lin Xiaoyue.


    “Hello Madam and Miss. I am Zhao Fu. This is my wife, Chen Shi. My eldest son, Zhao Kang. My eldest daughter-inw, Ma Shi. My grandson, Zhao Dabao. My second son, Zhao Qiang, and my daughter, Zhao Shanshan.”


    Liu Shi was a little surprised. She felt that although this person was a ve, he wasposed.


    Lin Xiaoyue nodded.


    “What can you do?” She asked Zhao Fu.


    “I used to be a housekeeper. Chen Shi is good at kitchen work. Zhao Kang and Zhao Qiang used to follow the family around as servants and coachmen. Ma Shi and Zhao Shanshan are good at needlework.”


    Lin Xiaoyue was surprised.


    “Is anyone literate?” She asked again.


    “I, Zhao Kang, Zhao Qiang, and Zhao Shanshan are all literate. My grandson


    Zhao Dabao had just learned the Three Character ssic.”


    Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.


    She did not expect all the young ones to be literate.


    ncing at the youngest Zhao Dabao, Lin Xiaoyue saw that the child was standing obediently beside Ma Shi with his head lowered.


    “Not bad.” He was about the same age as Qing’er, so he arranged for him to be his assistant. He could go to town to take care of Qing’er.


    “How old are you?” Lin Xiaoyue asked Zhao Dabao.


    Zhao Dabao bowed respectfully.


    “Miss, 1 am ten years old.”


    Lin Xiaoyue nodded and looked at Zhao Fu again.


    “Why were you sold by the previous master?” Lin Xiaoyue asked again.


    This family of seven was neatly dressed and polite.


    Zhao Fu especially, did not look like he came from very.


    Zhao Fu froze.


    Then, he bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.


    “It’s because of me! 1 offended the previous mistress and implicated the whole family.” Suddenly, Zhao Shanshan rushed forward.


    “Presumptuous, retreat!” Before Lin Xiaoyue could say anything, Zhao Fu had already reprimanded Zhao Shanshan sternly.


    Zhao Shanshan’s body trembled. She looked at Zhao Fu in fear and retreated..
