Chapter 192 Zhuangtou
"I'll be careful when I go out," Shen Li said as she pulled Chi Yan out of the room, jumped on the horse neatly, and waved to her three brothers, "I'm leaving."
Watching Shen Li riding away gracefully, Shen Jingyuan and the other two remembered her abilities and became less worried.
"Brother, you just drank a lot of wine, go back and rest first."
Shen Qian'an said to his eldest brother, and the three brothers walked into the house together.
Although the sun was out today, it was not very hot. Seeing that there was no one around, he slowed down and took out the deed from his sleeve (in space).
Zhuangzi is not far from the city. Judging from the address, it should be 30 miles away from here.
After figuring out where the place was, Shen Li patted Chi Yan's back and Chi Yan started running.
Shen Li had no time to take care of it during this period. Everyone in the family was busy, and there were only a few livestock, so it was not needed to drive the carriage. It was always observing from the back of the yard, which made Chi Yan very frustrated.
Shen Li naturally noticed it, so she rode it out for some fresh air today.
A man and a horse galloped on the road, and soon they arrived at where Zhuangzi was.
These two villages are in the same place, but there should be a little distance between them. But it doesn’t matter.
This manor belonged to the Lu family before. Although it is hers now, she has not shown up yet, but the name hanging on it is still Lu Family Villa.
Shen Li knocked on the door and waited for a long time before someone came to open the door. The person who came was a short and fat middle-aged man with wheat-colored skin, a regular appearance and sharp eyes.
"you are?"
"I'm Shen Li."
When Zhang Zhuangtou saw an unfamiliar girl standing at the door, he was a little confused. But when he heard the girl say her name was Shen Li, Zhang Zhuangtou suddenly realized.
"Ms. Shen, you are here. Please come in."
His attitude immediately became respectful, he opened the door and stepped aside to make way.
They had known for some time that the owner of the farm had changed. They only knew that the new owner's surname was Shen, and it was obviously the little girl in front of them.
Although the girl was young and her clothes looked like ordinary cloth, Zhang Zhuangtou did not dare to underestimate her aura. The master had already sent a message, so the girl in front of him would be his future master.
Zhang Zhuangtou took the initiative to take the reins from Shen Li's hand and said, "Miss, please come in."
Shen Li walked in and said to the middle-aged man beside her: "If you have something to do, go and do it first. I'll take a look around first."
Zhang Zhuangtou shook his head. "Most of the things in the village have been done now, so it's not very busy."
"I am the manager of this manor, my last name is Zhang. I wonder if the young lady would like to meet another manor manager?"
"Then you call the people first. I'll walk around the farm and come back later."
"Yes."
After saying that, Shen Li took the reins from his hand, rode on Chi Yan and strolled around the village.
Village head Zhang asked someone to find another village head, Village head Wang, and then waited for Shen Li to come in the main hall at the table.
Radishes and cabbages are still grown on the farm. There is also a pond. Some dried poles can be seen from the outside. Lotus flowers should be planted in it.
This farm looks quite big. At a rough glance, it is estimated that the land is about 80 mu. There are some low farmhouses in the wider areas on both sides of the fields, which should be where tenants live.
There were some children playing next to the farmhouse, but they did not go into the fields to cause trouble.
From time to time, some tenants passed by in the middle of the field, holding farm tools in their hands. Their dark faces and old looks made them look much older than they actually were.
There are seven or eight hills in the village. Shen Li walked over and saw that different fruit trees were planted on the hills, including peach trees, pear trees, apple trees and other seven or eight kinds of seedlings.
There is also a mountain of orange trees. The yellow oranges hanging on the branches are very pleasing to the eye.
Seeing the oranges, Shen Li couldn't help but start saliva. She rode her horse closer, picked one, and broke it in the middle to reveal the fruit inside.
I put a petal into my mouth, and as soon as I took a bite, my eyes narrowed.
But she could smell the sweetness later on, half sour and half sweet. Shen Li rode on Chi Yan and ate the whole orange. She walked around for a while and thought it was about time, so she went back.
Wang Zhuangtou had just asked Zhang Zhuangtou what kind of person their new master was. When he heard Zhang Zhuangtou say that it was a young girl, his brows immediately frowned into a "川" shape.
What happened to the original owner? Why did he hand over these two farms to a little girl to manage?
Zhang Zhuangtou saw the changing expressions on his face and said a few more good words about Shen Li, but Wang Zhuangtou just nodded twice perfunctorily, and didn't seem to take it seriously.
Zhang Zhuangtou raised his eyebrows and said nothing more. It was not like he had not reminded her that the girl did not look like a simple person.
Considering their friendship over the years, he had already reminded her, but the other party didn't take it seriously.
They were both sitting at the bottom now, and he gently picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.
Forget it, it’s hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words.
Shen Li hung the rope on Chiyan around his neck and patted his head. "Just walk around, don't mess around. This farm is mine and yours now. Do you understand?"
"咴咴~"
He walked into the main hall. Chi Yan was already a mature horse, so he let it wander around the farm.
"Miss."
Seeing Shen Li come in, they both stood up and called out respectfully. At least their attitude was very respectful.
When Wang Zhuangtou saw Shen Li, his brows subconsciously frowned even tighter, but he was always a cautious person, and he didn't know the master in front of him, so he didn't say anything rashly.
Shen Li walked directly to the seat above her and sat down. Zhang Zhuangtou pushed the tea towards her.
"This is tea from Wangzhuangtou Village. It has been steeped for a while. Now the temperature is just right. Miss, please try it."
Shen Li's eyebrows twitched slightly. She didn't expect that there was tea on the other pile, and from what Zhang Zhuangtou said, it seemed that there was a lot of tea.
I suppressed the thoughts in my heart, picked up the teacup, opened the lid and took a look. The tea leaves inside were emerald green. Steeping for a while did not affect its color. I took a sip and decided to take another look later.
“This is this year’s spring tea.”
Wang Zhuangtou nodded, "Yes, it is the first crop of tea this year, which is kept for the host to entertain guests on weekdays."
He didn't expect the girl to be able to tell by drinking. Thinking of this, his eyebrows moved and he remembered what Lao Zhang had just said to him.
He was not the kind of person who acted without purpose, so he temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his mind.
