Chapter 404: The vegetables in the field can be harvested
Her words successfully made everyone blush. After all, they were all ladies from noble families and girls from decent families, and they were still very taboo about brothels.
Zheng Sisi said: "There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Some people do not want to be in such a situation, so we cannot discriminate against others. As long as women come in, we will receive them. Men are not allowed in. Do you understand?"
Everyone nodded and agreed with the host's statement, because many people here were sold by their families for various reasons and had no choice.
Zheng Sisi said to the three little sisters, "You guys should go back now. It's time to dig the sweet potatoes."
After hearing this, the three of them said they would leave immediately. How could they miss out on the new food? It would be a sin to miss it.
Zheng Sisi came out. Sheng Zhen was checking the progress of renovation in the shop opposite. He came out immediately after hearing Zheng Sisi's call.
Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu followed behind. Zheng Sisi asked, "Are you two going back? I'm going to arrange for someone to go to your house to inform you about digging sweet potatoes."
When they heard that they could dig sweet potatoes, they were very excited and recalled the delicious taste of roasted sweet potatoes.
The two rushed to say: "Go back, go back immediately."
In this way, Zheng Sisi and her three little sisters got on the carriage and went back first.
After returning to the county lord's mansion, Zheng Sisi sent people to various mansions to inform them of the news of digging sweet potatoes. She explained how to dig sweet potatoes, how to store them and several simple ways to eat sweet potatoes. She also told everyone to eat them in moderation, as she did not want to live in a smelly air.
After arranging the work outside, Zheng Sisi asked Uncle Li to take people to cut the sweet potato vines, collect them and dry them for use as horse feed.
When I came to the back garden, it had changed again. Other vegetables were planted in the watermelon and potato fields. The corn stalks had dried up and the corn on them could be harvested. Pumpkins and winter melons were lying all over the edge of the field. The winter melons were big, round and long, with grayish-white skin covered with white hairs. The pumpkins were red with yellow, and also big, lying all over the ground.
Seeing this, Zheng Sisi stroked her forehead and said, "I've been so busy making money lately that I forgot about the vegetables in the field."
Zheng Sisi pointed at the vegetables on the field and said to Sheng Zhen, "All the vegetables in this field can be harvested. I had forgotten about them all."
Sheng Zhen comforted him, "Fortunately it's not broken. I'll call some people to help collect it."
Zheng Sisi said: "That's not good. We have to trouble others."
Sheng Zhen said: "It's okay, they will be very happy, just provide them with food."
Sheng Zhen said to Qing Feng who followed him: "Go to the mansion and call some people to help."
Qingfeng jumped up happily: "Okay, Master, I'll go right away."
Seeing that everyone had been arranged, Zheng Sisi also called Rose over: "Rose, go tell Aunt Gui in the kitchen that people from the Third Prince's Mansion are coming to help today. Ask her to prepare a sumptuous dinner, and ask all the guards to come and bring all the food."
"Okay, Princess." Rose took the order and left.
Zheng Sisi called Uncle Li and said, "Uncle Li, there are many vegetables in this field that can be harvested. Arrange some people to cut the sweet potato vines now. You lead people to pick the winter melons and pumpkins beside the field. Good luck when the guards come later."
Uncle Li: "Okay, County Lady."
Zheng Sisi took people to the cornfield again. The withered yellow leaves drooped down, the corn husks were also withered and yellow, and only a little bit of the beard was left on it.
Zheng Sisi broke off one and peeled off the outer husk. The corn kernels were dried in the sun. They could be dried for two days and stored for planting next year.
Zheng Sisi said, "Let's harvest the corn first! Just break the corn off. Baihe, go get some baskets."
Lily replied, "Okay, County Lady." Then she turned around and went to get the basket.
Sheng Zhen started to work, and Zheng Sisi asked, "Sheng Zhen, I didn't pay attention to the corn in the palace today, and I don't know if it has been harvested." Zheng Sisi really felt that her memory was not good recently.
Sheng Zhen said: "It's okay, tell my father tomorrow and he will arrange for someone to collect it."
Zheng Sisi: "Okay, I'll just take care of myself. I don't know what's going on in the farm. There are also things in the mountains. After the sweet potatoes are harvested, I have to go to the farm for a while. There are a lot of things in the mountains, and they are all ripe now. It will be wasted if I don't bring them back."
Sheng Zhen thought of the tea trees, sugarcane and chestnuts he discovered in the mountains last time. These are all food, which are much more important than making money by opening a shop.
He said, "Let's discuss it in the evening and arrange the work, and then I'll go with you. The cement factory is developing very fast now, and I have to go and take a look."
Zheng Sisi: "Okay, let's discuss it first and get back before grandma's birthday."
