Chapter 1011 Dare not sit
Although there are not many people to support, she and her subordinates have tried their best. If they want more, it is not possible.
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. Without her words, they didn't know how long they would have to feed so many people.
In fact, last year several villages did not require so many people.
If it weren't for the need to dig ponds, open mountains, and collect night incense, many people would have nothing to do, and it would be a waste of time to feed them.
Fortunately, they spent money to support them and these people did a good job. By the time spring came, the mountains on the farm had blossomed and the fruit trees moved from the north had been planted.
The pond was well dug and the embankment was well built, so not a single drop of water leaked through.
Not to mention the wheat fields. The good growth of wheat is inseparable from their careful and meticulous cultivation, in addition to good seeds and abundant fertilizers.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be willing to find ways to make money for so many people.
Zhou Guo's smile grew wider as he listened to his words.
She has not forgotten her original intention of selling fat. She is very grateful that these subordinates of hers, the people she brought up, have experienced a relatively luxurious life for so many years and can still think this way and have such an innocent heart.
He praised her generously, "Xiao Hezi, you have really grown up and can now support so many people. I remember when I first met you, you were following Quanzi closely with two big snotty noses. Before I knew it, you have become so capable."
When the shopkeeper Xiao Hezi heard Zhou Guo talking about his embarrassing childhood, his face turned red, "Master, that happened many years ago, you are still talking about it?"
Zhou Guo laughed, "I won't say anything more. Just keep working hard. There are still many people in the south waiting for you to earn money for them. I will go back to rest first and go to the countryside tomorrow."
They traveled around villages in several counties in Nanhe for more than 20 days, but they didn't have the chance to visit many places.
When they were on their way back to the city, they saw that all the reclaimed land along the way was planted with wheat.
In more than twenty days, the seeds of Nanhe were planted in the ground.
This round of spring plowing is now completed.
Zhou Guo looked at these fields. Although he was very tired over the past twenty days, he was in a very good mood at the moment.
At least there was no delay and I managed to plant all the crops.
Er Pang said, "Master, the crops in the South River have almost been planted, and those places that have not been visited are probably almost done too. Is it time for us to start preparing the land in the North now?"
The climate in the north is cold, and Yunzhou is the coldest. Then it will be settled.
The spring farming time in Huaiyang is earlier than in these places.
She nodded, "I will go back the day after tomorrow and rush to Huaiyang. I will first go to the lower reaches of Huaiyang, then go directly to Chengding, and then return to Yunzhou."
Chengding is going to start planting crops in several salty and bitter lands this year. Originally, they were planning to plant all rice, but they are afraid that there won’t be enough rice, so half wheat and half rice would be best.
Although it is impossible to visit every place under the capital city, it would be enough to pick a few wealthy places, a few poor places, and a few places that have not been visited before.
It was already 3 p.m. when we returned to the city.
The old man was not at home, so naturally his two personal soldiers were not there either.
The cook served a table full of Nanhe snacks, and said to Zhou Guo, "Master, eat these first to fill your stomach. These are the old man's favorites. After a while, this dinner will be ready."
Zhou Guo nodded, "Okay, thank you, go ahead and get busy."
The cook went down happily. Being recognized by the master was better than anything else.
Zhou Guo asked Erpang and others to sit down and eat as well.
Er Pang shook his head, "No, Master, you eat it yourself, we will pick some to eat aside."
When we were outside before, there weren’t so many rules, so we could eat from the same pot naturally. But now that we are back, there is a difference in status, and it’s not appropriate to eat from the same pot with the master.
Zhou Guo looked at him and said, "Sit down!"
With one word, several people sat down obediently.
The guards did not dare to sit.
Zhou Guo said to him, "You sit down too."
The guards finally sat down.
She was very satisfied and said, "Why are you being so shy? Just sit down when I tell you to. When we were in the North, you ate at the same table with me. Isn't that enough? Why are you being so particular now? What's wrong with you?"
Several people looked around the house.
Er Pang smiled embarrassedly and said, "The main reason is that this house looks too real, like the residence of a high-ranking official."
Living in such a house, they remembered their status. Besides, Wu Jiang, Huzi, Quanzi and Dapang were not at home, so they did not dare to sit down.
Zhou Guo was amused and angry at the same time. "No matter how gorgeous this room is, it's just a place to eat, sleep and rest. Why do you feel uncomfortable when you see this room? Why don't you just say that you don't dare to sit at the same table with me because I'm wearing nice clothes?"
Over the years, all the clothes she wore were good-looking.
Before, I had to dress nicely when I went out to do business. Sometimes, a nice set of clothes can make a negotiation more efficient and make it easier to close a deal.
Having tasted the sweetness of success, her clothes became more and more expensive.
There were also many gold and silver threads sewn on the clothes.
It flashes when it moves, but is not noticeable when it is still. It looks very valuable.
Every time Mrs. Li made something for her, she would sigh that it was too extravagant. Fortunately, she had the bright red gold-woven cloak from that year, so she could still accept the idea of sewing gold thread on her clothes.
But among the family, she only allowed Zhou Guo to be so extravagant.
After all, they are going out and dealing with important people. If they don't dress nicely, people will look down on them and say they are from the country and haven't even washed the mud off their feet.
She endured the pain and did it for Zhou Gu, but Zhou Gu shook his head and refused to do it, saying that if it got damaged anywhere, he would beat himself to death.
When Zhou Guo thought of this, she lowered her head to look at the clothes she was wearing. It was a spring dress, also made by her mother. It was white, but the hem and chest were embroidered with golden cloud patterns. Although it looked plain, it was actually more gorgeous than anything else.
It is particularly in line with her low-key and unyielding personality, and she likes it very much.
Er Pang also looked at her clothes and said, "The clothes are expensive... but we are not living with you. Even if there is dirt on some part, it can be washed. Besides, you were wearing this when we first met you. I have gotten used to it after so many years. This is not the first time I live in this big house."
Look left and right and up and down.
Dashu and Xiaoshu came from other families and had a deep understanding of this class system. If Erpang hadn't been following them, they wouldn't even dare to sit down, let alone eat together.
Zhou Guo didn't know what was wrong with him, so he took a piece of roasted pig's trotter and said, "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Didn’t you see that Erpang and the others glanced at the bodyguards beside them before picking up the snacks to eat?
If General Xu can do that, then their master will be done with that too!
Everyone at the table had different thoughts. Zhou Guo just ate by himself, trying to clear his mind and not think about anything.
