Hua Zhi stayed in the farm for a whole month after being busy all the time. Her injuries had healed a lot and people who didn't know the inside story couldn't tell at all that she had ever been injured.
Finally, they went to the cellar again, and Baoxia skillfully opened the jar, took out a portion and handed it to the young lady.
Hua Zhi ate a small piece, drank a sip of juice, and nodded with satisfaction, "We must maintain this level."
"Yes." Baoxia responded with a smile. Not only the personal maids of these young ladies, but all the people working in the workshop could eat one portion every day. After tasting the flavor, those who were originally worried that this thing could not be preserved or was not delicious were relieved. When winter came when there were few fruits and vegetables, this thing would definitely be easy to sell.
Hua Zhi looked at the cellar full of yellow peaches and felt her heart filled with satisfaction.
As autumn deepens, the daytime temperature is still quite high, and the chill will soon dissipate after standing in the sun.
Hua Zhi looked at Bao Xia and said softly, "Gradually let go of the workshop affairs. Liu Qi and Liu Jiang are both quite capable and nothing will go wrong. Xu Jie will be here in four or five days at most. Teach them how to handle the oranges and then come back."
Baoxia responded in a low voice. She didn't want to leave the young lady, but she would not disobey the young lady's orders.
"If Shaoyao comes, ask her to find me at Hua's house."
"yes."
The people in the workshop knew that the eldest girl was leaving today, and when they saw a group of people coming out of the Moon Gate, although they did not stop their actions, their eyes were glancing over here.
Hua Zhi didn't care about their little actions, and said to Liu Qi and Liu Jiang who were waiting in front of her: "Take care of the workshop. If you have any problems, come to Hua's house to find me."
"yes."
The workshop is now divided into two parts, inside and outside. Liu Qi is the manager of the inside, in charge of the most critical steps in the backyard.
Hua Zhi signed a living contract with Liu Jiang, making him the external manager in charge of the people in the front yard.
The people who did the rough work like washing and peeling were selected from the tenants. Although Hua Zhi had strict rules, her monthly wages were high, so the people who did the work were very serious, fearing that they would not do a good job and displease the master and lose their jobs.
Liu Jiang was popular and intelligent, so he quickly adapted to the manager's position and felt like a fish in water. However, he was not happy for a few days when he heard that the eldest daughter was going back to the city, and he became worried.
The Hua family is a family with strict rules. He was worried that his sister would suffer if she went there. And when he thought about how it would be difficult for them to meet in the future, he felt even more uncomfortable.
Liu Juan felt very sad in her heart. She didn't dare to look at her brother. She lowered her head and looked at her toes. When she saw the young lady finish her instructions and walk out, she subconsciously followed her.
Fu Dong, who was beside her, held Liu Juan's arm and whispered, "Say goodbye to your brother. Don't keep the young lady waiting for too long."
Liu Juan looked up with surprise, biting her lip and nodded repeatedly.
In the carriage, Nian Qiu said softly, "Although Liu Jiang is only in charge of rough work, if you really pay attention, you may not be able to understand the following steps. He only signed a five-year contract, and I am a little worried about it."
"Nian Qiu, as a senior steward, you should also be tolerant of others."
"Miss… "
"It's not that you didn't do well, don't worry." Hua Zhi leaned back on the soft mattress. "I have lived in the inner house for many years, and all I see is the sky above my head. What I fight for are the things that my eyes can see. It is normal for you to be wary of an outsider like him. But Nian Qiu, if we only focus on these things, will the Hua family be able to rise?"
Nian Qiu knelt down and was about to apologize. Hua Zhi patted her side and motioned her to sit down. She continued slowly, "I want to use him. If he is really an ungrateful person, it is my fault for not knowing him well. If he really figures out this way to make money and starts his own business or finds another wise master, there will be no smooth road waiting for him. I don't need to embarrass him, he will pay a heavy price. This is a profitable business, but it is also a hot potato. Ordinary people can't do it."
"It is the maid who is stupid."
"You just care too much, and you care too much about gains and losses. It's just a way to make money. If it's gone, you can just think of another one. I may not be good at other things, but the ability to make money is something I was born with." Seeing Liu Juan wiping her eyes and running out of the door, Hua Zhi smiled, "Besides, it may not necessarily go that far."
Liu Xiang tapped the car wall and said, "Miss, we can leave now."
"Let's go."
&&&
She didn't say much when she left, and she was gone for a month. Hua Zhi relied on her grandmother to stay at home and recuperate, so she could rest assured. As soon as she entered the house, Hua Zhi went to her grandmother's room to apologize without even changing her clothes.
"I'm glad you're back. How's the workshop going?" The old lady leaned against the bed and smiled, but there was a hint of scrutiny in her eyes. She didn't believe that Hua Zhi would stay in the farm for so long without some special reason, even if it was for the workshop. After just a few days of getting along, she could see that her granddaughter was not the kind of person who didn't have any plans.
Hua Zhi seemed unaware and said with a smile, "If you were to go to the farm, you probably wouldn't recognize it. It's very busy. I brought back some prepared food for you to try."
Fudong came in holding a bowl. There were a few yellow peaches in the crystal clear juice. If you got closer, you could smell the fragrance of the fruit.
Hua Zhi personally served her grandmother a piece. The old lady chewed it slowly and nodded, "Not bad, not too soft or too hard. Both the elderly and children should like it."
Hua Zhi smiled and said, "It tastes better when it's just taken out of the ice cellar. It's hard to tell now when there are so many fruits and vegetables. But when winter comes and there are few fruits and vegetables on the market, this thing will be in great demand."
"That makes sense. The winter in the capital is long, so the products can be sold for a long time. If they are not selling well, we can go north, where the winter is even longer." The joy on the old lady's face gradually faded. If you want to talk about winter, how can it be longer than the exile place in the far north
"The winter there is much colder than in the capital. I don't know if the old man can survive it."
"Of course, my grandfather has always been very strong and healthy, so he is in much better shape than us youngsters."
"Yes, the old man is in good health, and your father and the others will take care of him, so there will be no problem." The old lady finally smiled again, "You have worked so hard for so long, go greet your mother and then go back and have a good rest for a day, don't let your body get damaged."
"Yes, I'll listen to you." Hua Zhi stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly she remembered that her grandmother had gone to the Shen family to break off her engagement the day she went to the farm, so she hurriedly asked, "Grandma, what about the Shen family..."
The old lady smiled and nodded, "As you wish."
It was more than just her wish. Hua Zhi smiled. But no matter what, she was happy to be able to get rid of this shackle. It was really good not to have to share a man with other women. It was not easy to play the role of a virtuous wife all her life.
"All the betrothal gifts were confiscated. I wrote them an IOU and will pay them back slowly in the future. It's all due."
"Yes, it should be paid back."
