After celebrating the new year happily, after the Lantern Festival, I started to get busy again.
It's coming to Chunwei soon, and Liu Zhimo's study time is getting tighter, and Mr. Luo has arranged more study tasks for him.
And Li Qingling is busy raising ducks. Now that the reputation of the roast duck restaurant has spread, people come to buy roast ducks in an endless stream every day. If she doesn't increase the amount of ducks she raises, the supply will not be enough.
But the lotus pond at home is so big, if you think about it too much, it won't be able to hold it.
Li Qingling was bothered by this matter for a few days, so she ran to find the old man and discussed with him that she wanted to buy a house nearby for her to raise ducks.
When the old man heard this, he shook his head directly, saying that it is difficult to buy a nearby house with a lot of money. Besides, it is specially used to raise ducks, so it is so noisy, which is even more unacceptable.
Li Qingling also thought about this problem, the ducks at home were also a bit noisy, she was afraid that Liu Zhimo would be reviewing because of the noise, so she wanted to buy a house quickly and move the ducks out of the house.
"Then what should I do?" She was distressed for several days, "If you don't increase the amount of ducks you raise, the roast duck shop will have to run out of food." If the supply fails, how much money will she have to lose? It hurts just thinking about it...
She didn't expect the business of the roast duck restaurant to be so good before, with an average of 500 roast ducks sold every day, which is really unexpected!
In just three or four months, she had already earned 20,000 taels of silver, which made her feel like a nouveau riche, and she became rich all of a sudden.
The old man thought for a while, and then said: "I have a farm in the suburbs, the place is big, you can go there to raise ducks." In this way, you don't have to harm his lotus pond. Now the lotus pond is not called the lotus pond, but the duck pond.
When he thought of his pond of lotus being harmed like that, his heart ached.
Get those ducks out sooner and he can restore his lotus pond sooner.
"How long does it take to get to Zhuangzi from home?" If the time is too long, it will be unreliable. She has to raise ducks herself, and if she runs so far every day, she will be exhausted.
If it's closer, she can still accept it.
"It's not far. It's only about two hours by carriage."
That's not so far away.
Li Qingling grinned and asked the old man to take her to see Zhuangzi, is it suitable for raising ducks
If it is suitable, she will immediately pack the ducks and raise them.
At most, she would work harder, take the car to see the ducks in the morning, feed them the spiritual water and so on.
But it's better than quarreling with Liu Zhimo's review.
The old man gave her a blank look, and said what was the hurry, he had to have lunch before he could go.
This girl really forgot to eat when she got busy. If he hadn't asked the children to urge her, she would have lost weight long ago.
Li Qingling smiled embarrassingly, she also knew this problem of hers, she forgot the time when she was busy, she had to change it...
After the two had lunch, they went to Zhuangzi in a carriage.
When I went to Zhuangzi, Li Qingling's eyes lit up when she saw the wall covering such a wide area. This Zhuangzi looked very big, and it was enough for her to eat it.
"Old man, let's go in and have a look. If it's okay, I'll ask someone to bring the duck over."
"Okay..." Seeing Li Qingling's impatience, the old man shook his head and smiled wryly, but he also understood Li Qingling's mood, so he didn't say much.
The two entered Zhuangzi, and after walking around, Li Qingling was very satisfied with this Zhuangzi, especially there is a river in Zhuangzi, which is really perfect for raising ducks.
It's just that she thought that such a good Zhuangzi would be a waste just to raise ducks.
Besides, it's not her Zhuangzi, it's the old man's, and she feels a little embarrassed to use it.
Li Qingling cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Old man, I don't know if there is any Zhuangzi for sale nearby. I want to buy a Zhuangzi myself."
Hearing this, the old man's tiger eyes stared, "Since when did you get so far away from grandpa? My things are not yours, so use them as you like." He rarely comes here, and he keeps them alone. Li Qingling It can be regarded as making the best use of it for raising ducks.
When he was a hundred years later, his belongings would also be left to them.
Li Qingling rubbed her nose and didn't dare to say anything more. If she continued, it would hurt the old man's heart.
Anyway, he said to use it casually, so she can use it casually, and she will be more filial to him.
Seeing that Li Qingling no longer refused, the old man calmed down and asked someone to cook, and they went back after eating.
When Zhuangtou heard this, he quickly asked someone to make some home-cooked dishes for Li Qingling and the others to taste.
He knew that the masters were used to eating big fish and meat, so if they occasionally ate home-cooked food, they would find it more delicious.
"Old man, to be honest, I really want to buy a Zhuangzi. Anyway, the money I earn is in my hand, so I put it away. It's better to buy some Zhuangzi's fields or something." Money makes money to make more money , put it in your hand, you can't make money, so what's the use
This is also true, it is good to buy some fields, plant some crops and food, and sell them for money.
These children also grow up quickly, and they have to start some family business.
After thinking this through, the old man immediately nodded and said, okay, he asked someone to ask, is there any land nearby for sale
It's not far from the capital, so you can come and have a look anytime, it's very convenient.
"Jin Zhuangtou, is there any land for sale nearby?" The old man asked the head of the village, he has been staying here, if there is a field for sale, he should know.
Zhuangtou said respectfully: "Master, I really haven't heard of any nearby fields for sale, but I can pay attention. Once I know that there are fields for sale nearby, I will inform the master."
"Well, you usually go shopping, inquire, and let me know if you have any news."
"yes…"
After Li Qingling heard this, although she was a little disappointed, she also knew that there was no rush for these things, and it all depended on the timing.
The children in the family are growing up slowly, and she has to buy some property for them slowly, otherwise, how can they have the capital to marry a wife
She was so dizzy before, she didn't think of this, she came to Zhuangzi and saw the old man's Zhuangzi and the field outside.
Their Liuli family's family is too poor, so they have to save slowly.
After Li Qingling and the old man had dinner at Zhuangzi, they took a carriage back home. As soon as they got home, Li Qingling asked his servants to help catch the ducks and planned to transfer them to Zhuangzi.
In addition to transferring ducks, she has to go outside to buy some more ducks.
When Liu Zhimo came out of the study, what he saw was this lively scene.
"Little Ling, what are you doing? Why are you catching these ducks?"
Li Qingling wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled at Liu Zhimo and said, "I'm going to transfer these ducks to Zhuangzi to raise them. I have occupied the old man's lotus pond for so long, so I should give it back to him." Don't think She didn't know that the old man felt distressed when he saw the lotus pond being ruined by her like this.
In fact, she was also quite embarrassed, but she had no choice but to pretend not to know. Now that it is better, there is a place to raise ducks, and the lotus pond can be vacated and replanted with lotus.
"Zhuangzi? What Zhuangzi?"
Li Qingling patted her head in annoyance, she forgot to tell Liu Zhimo about this matter, she stretched out her hand to hold Liu Zhimo's hand, and told Liu Zhimo succinctly.
Liu Zhimo frowned, and asked if Li Qingling had worked too hard
If she had to go to Zhuangzi every day, she would be exhausted from running back and forth like this.
"Zhuangzi is about two hours away from us by carriage. It's not too far away, so it won't be very hard."
It will take four hours to go back and forth, which is considered far away. Liu Zhimo looked at Li Qingling distressedly, "Do you have to go every day? Can't you go every few days? You can teach some people to raise ducks, so You don't have to go and watch it yourself every day." He really hated her running like this every day, it was really exhausting.
Li Qingling knew that Liu Zhimo felt sorry for her, so she thought for a while before saying that she was thinking about it...
Speaking of which, the project of raising ducks is getting bigger and bigger. She really can't do everything by herself, so she can only buy some more people and train them how to raise ducks. She will feed the spirit water every few days to make sure The quality of the duck, this should work.
Liu Zhimo sighed, touched her face and said, don't tire yourself out, take a proper rest.
"Okay, you too. I've been reviewing for a while, and you've lost weight." She could see how hard Liu Zhimo had worked so hard during this time, and her face that was a bit fleshy had lost weight again, and she too Seeing it in his eyes, it hurts in his heart, but he can't help him. He can only cook some soup for him every day, so that he can nourish his body.
"Drinking tonifying soup every day, how can I lose weight? I still feel fat!" Liu Zhimo said with a smile, not wanting her to worry too much about himself, he patted her on the head, "Okay, I'm going back to the study You have reviewed it, don't work too hard, you know?"
"Okay, go to review quickly, and remember to take a good rest when you are tired, and combine work and rest." Li Qingling nodded with a smile, and told him.
Liu Zhimo hummed, kissed her quickly, and then turned to leave.
Li Qingling blushed and touched her forehead, smiled, and then continued to help catch the ducks.
After catching all the ducks in the lotus pond, he led people to load the ducks into the carriage and drag them all to Zhuangzi.
After a busy day, she felt that her bones were about to fall apart, she was really tired.
That night, after eating and taking a shower, she climbed into bed and fell asleep without waiting for Liu Zhimo to come back.
When Liu Zhimo returned to the room, he saw Li Qingling with a tired face. He kissed her forehead distressedly, and his heart became more determined. This time, Chunwei must get a good grade in the exam and make her happy.
Over the years, she has been supporting the family. After his Chunwei has achieved results, he can accompany her well and help her share the burden of the family, without her having to work so hard.
