Chapter 377: The Beijing Branch of the Prosperous World

Chapter 377: The Beijing Branch of the Prosperous World

In the afternoon, Shen Xia took the whole family to the farm.

Zhao Lin and his wife and Zhao Xin all went with their luggage.

Because they are responsible for Zhuangzi's affairs, they definitely cannot come back to live here.

So it’s better to live in Zhuangzi.

A group of people went to Zhuangzi in a mighty manner.

Only Song Yun is at home because he has an exam tomorrow.

So prepare some things at home.

Before leaving, Shen Xia asked the kitchen to buy some lean meat, and when she came back in the evening, she and her fourth brother would make some jerky.

Otherwise, it will not work if you only eat dry food during the exam.

It would be best if there is beef, but if not, forget it.

Occasionally, you could still buy beef in the capital because foreigners would bring cattle here to sell.

Doorway

Shen Xia looked at Song Jindu and saw that he had brought some luggage: "Third brother, what is this?"

"The manor has just started operating. I will definitely live in the manor."

"Oh, okay!" Shen Xia felt a little disappointed.

Song Jin raised the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, I can ride back quickly by myself later."

"Well," a little disappointed.

Looking at the three little ones beside her, Shen Xia bent down and picked up Yifan. Why?

Because Yifan is the smallest and lightest.

Song Jin picked up Yi Yi.

The second brother just held on to Yi Yan.

The three little guys came out with two puppies.

That's where the kids go anyway.

The dog is there.

Also more obedient.

Several people were sitting in a carriage.

Zhao Lin and his companions were riding in a carriage.

Auspicious spring and autumn, they ride in a carriage.

The others sat outside in a carriage.

Including the guard given by the eldest princess.

Finally arriving at the village, Shen Xia looked up and saw a plaque hanging at the door with seven large characters "Prosperous Times and Flowers Beijing Branch" inscribed on it.

She nodded with satisfaction and thought the name was quite nice.

Bi had been waiting at the door for a long time in the morning. He knew that Shen Xia and others would come to inspect today.

Seeing them coming, Bi Yi hurried forward and greeted everyone respectfully: "Second Young Master, Third Young Master, Madam, you are here."

Shen Xia responded with a smile: "Well, Biyi, you have worked really hard during this period."

Bi Yi quickly shook his head: "It's not hard. It's my duty to serve my lady." As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Jixiang who was standing beside him, with a hint of shyness in his eyes.

Shen Xia saw all of this and smiled inwardly. She had long seen that Bi Yi had a crush on Ji Xiang, and now that she saw that the two were so well matched, she wanted to help them get married as soon as possible.

Before this, she had already asked people to transport the looms, sewing machines and other equipment needed for weaving here, and now all the items are ready.

However, some bottles and jars that need to be customized have not yet found suitable manufacturers, and these require San Ge to discuss cooperation matters.

As for Bi Yi, he is responsible for handling other affairs in the factory and keeping everything in order.

Song Jin asked: "How many people have been recruited now?"

Biyi replied: "We have only recruited 60 people so far. Since we haven't officially started production yet, we haven't recruited too many people for the time being."

"Okay." Everyone walked into the manor together.

There was originally only one house in the village, but in the past two months, Bi Yi built several more factories.

These factories are very simple, with just one large room to meet all the needs.

The original courtyard can be used as accommodation.

There were also two larger rooms built at the entrance. After Shen Xia noticed it, she replied, "Madam, those two rooms are specifically used to purchase silkworm cocoons."

"Well, well done." Shen Xia said appreciatively.

Although she did not manage the affairs of the factory much, she had a keen interest in the orchards that were replanted on the land.

So she decided to take Song Ming and the children to the orchard.

Song Jin went to the factory with others.

A group of people strolled leisurely towards the fields.

This place is not far from Zhuangzi and can be reached in just half an hour's walk.

Looking around, there were more than a dozen people working hard in the fields.

These people should be hired to help with farming!

Several varieties of grapes, dragon fruit, kiwi fruit, and some fruit trees are planted in the field.

Due to limited number of saplings, only half of these lands are planted with crops;

However, by next year, we can cultivate more saplings together and turn the entire village into a fruitful orchard.

There are also some other kinds of fruit trees, but they probably won't produce much this year.

After all, they are just tiny seedlings when they are planted.

As a professional, Song Ming naturally had to check the growth conditions of these fruits personally.

However, when Song Jin was about to go forward to observe the results...

Then an old man came over angrily and shouted, "Who are you? Who allowed you to come in here? These are extremely precious fruits, you can't touch them!"

Shen Xia looked around in confusion and found that Bi Yi was not there because he followed Song Jin to handle factory affairs. There was no familiar face around him.

Song Ming responded with a smile: "We are the owner here."

The old man took a look at the few people, not sure whether they were really the boss. It would be bad to offend him, so he came up with a plan.

See if they can tell what kind of fruit is in this field.

He asked provocatively: "Since you claim to be the boss, please tell me what kind of fruits these are."

The old man was thinking that these strange fruits had never been heard of their names on the land he had been planting for decades.

If this person can accurately name these fruits, then he may be the real owner;

But if he can't answer, it means he is just an imposter.

After all, as the owners, it is impossible for them not to know what kind of fruits are grown on their own estate.

As a result, Song Ming was really choked.

He knows what the other piece of land is?

This is the one in front of me, I have never seen it before.

Although there are many fruits in the Song family’s yard, this one is really not there.

So he really didn't know what this thing was. Song Ming turned around and looked at Shen Xia awkwardly.

Shen Xia explained with a smile: "This is pitaya, and the one over there is grapes. There are Kyoho, Sunshine Rose, and Beauty Finger grapes. Over there is kiwi fruit, and the fruit trees over there include yellow peaches, longans, lychees, grapefruits, and loquats."

Although not much of each type is planted, the varieties are complete.

After all, Shen Xia was not sure which ones were suitable for planting here, so he tried each one to see which one could survive so that he could plant more next year.

When the old man heard this, he was surprised that Shen Xia could actually name all the species accurately.

The expression on his face immediately became respectful, and he said quickly: "Master, please forgive me. These fruit trees are managed by the old man and his family. The manager said that these are precious fruits. I was really scared when I saw this young master trying to touch them just now!"

Song Ming smiled and replied: "It's okay, I just came to see you, don't be nervous. You are very responsible and you have done a good job."
