Knowing that Wu Yan and Jiang Tao came to the house to propose marriage, all the Chu family members who could come back came back, and the house was very lively.

Li Qingyu entertained the guests with melon and fruit snacks from home, warm and thoughtful.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, we got to the point.

Wu Yan signaled to Jiang Tao, and Jiang Tao hurriedly said, "Uncle, Aunt, we are here today to propose marriage to you, Qing Ning and our family Zhaoyong..."

After saying a lot of words, he handed the betrothal gift list to Chu Rong, opened the box, and handed over a thousand betrothal money.

"Uncle, look, this is our dowry. If there is no problem, let's fix their wedding date?"

Chu Rong took the dowry gift list and looked at it carefully. He didn't expect the dowry gift from the other party to be so generous, and he was surprised.

Li Qingyu, Grandpa Chu, and Grandma Chu couldn't read, but they knew how to count the words. With so many words, there would be plenty of things to think about. The abundance of things represented the importance they attached to their family, Qingning, and they were very satisfied.

Chu Rong closed the betrothal gift list, and looked at the betrothal gifts again. They were all good things, so it can be seen that they were made with care, "There is no problem here."

Wu Yan and Jiang Tao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Yan took out a piece of red paper from her purse. On the red paper were written three days, all of which were good dates for getting married.

She handed the red paper to Chu Rong, "Uncle, these marriage days are all good, see which one you like."

Chu Rong nodded, and the elders discussed for a while, then called Chu Qingning to have a look, and finally decided on a date, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month of the coming year.

Li Qingyu said enthusiastically, "Wu Yan, Jiang Tao, Zhao Yong, sit down, I'll cook and eat at home at noon, Qing Ning, you can chat with brother and sister-in-law..."

Wu Yan and Jiang Tao quickly and politely responded.

"Mom, I got it." After Li Qingyu went to the kitchen to cook, Chu Qingning took Wu Yan, Jiang Tao, and two children outside, to the village.

Jiang Zhaoyong accompanied the whole process.

...

Sun Family Village.

After Chu Qingzhi arranged the work of the workshop, she went straight to Sunjiacun to choose the piglets.

Not only the villagers raise pigs here, but the landlord's family also raises pigs. There is a pig shed with more than 300 pigs, 10 sows, and more than 100 piglets.

Chu Qingzhi went to the landlord's house.

I heard that Chu Qingzhi bought a large number of piglets, and the landlord personally received them with great enthusiasm, "Miss Chu, please follow me."

The landlord personally led the way to the pig shed, "Girl, look at my little piglet, it's chubby and active, and it's definitely easy to raise."

Chu Qingzhi looked at all the piglets in the pigpen, and the sows too, all of them were healthy, "How do you sell the piglets?"

The landlord was straightforward, "Sell by the catty, twenty-five cents per catty, if you want them all, I'll give you twenty-three cents."

Chu Qingzhi nodded, "Let's weigh it, please send it to Chu Family Village after you weigh it."

The landlord readily agreed, "No problem."

A total of 128 piglets weighed a total of 4,480 catties, with an average weight of 35 catties, and 103 taels of silver. The landlord generously wiped away the odds.

The pig sheds have been repaired. After the piglets are brought back, there will be a pig pen for every ten pigs, which is convenient for feeding, and they will be separated when they are older.

The entire pig shed was built on the scale of 500 pigs, and there is still room for expansion.

Guo Shangyong knew how to raise pigs, and Chu Qingzhi assigned him another ten people, "Brother Guo, I will leave the pig sheds to you in the future."

Guo Shangyong promised, "No problem, Miss Chu, don't worry, we will take good care of it."

"I still pay you a penny a day for your wages, just like everyone else's. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded at the end of the month, and you will have holidays..."

Chu Qingzhi called everyone together, talked about wages, bonuses, and holidays in detail, and signed a contract. With the contract binding, everyone will feel more responsible.

Speaking of this, Chu Qingzhi simply mentioned the matter of the cowshed.

The bullpen was handed over to Fu Kangping, and ten people were assigned to him.

Ma Peng was handed over to Luo Hongping, and the rest of the wounded soldiers were distributed to him. In the future, when there are more horses, more people will be added.

Wan Haonan was arranged by Chu Qingzhi to be in charge of the brick kiln. There were no wounded soldiers assigned to the brick kiln. Chu Qingzhi planned to wait for the brick kiln to be built and then recruit people to do it.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." Chu Qingzhi pointed in the direction of the walnut grove. "When the brick kiln is built, I will fence this area, including the walnut grove. Take some time to take care of it, fertilize it and so on. You can call to eat it next year. If you can't finish it, I will collect it and make other arrangements."

"Also, there are a lot of mushrooms and fungus in the forest. If you are free, you can ask Dabai to pick them up in the mountains and sell them to me."

"If you want to raise it, you can. I can teach you when the time comes."

Mushrooms and fungus can be added to soybean paste, and then two different flavors can be distinguished to increase the variety of soybean paste.

Listening to Chu Qingzhi's arrangement, everyone's eyes were full of hope, "Thank you, girl."

Chu Qingzhi said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Don't worry, girl, we will do our best."

"good."

Wan Haonan hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Chu, I have something to tell you."

Chu Qingzhi said, "What's the matter, you said?"

Wan Haonan scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "Girl, we are all working here now, and we like it very much, so we don't plan to leave in the future. I see an open space next to the walnut grove, and I think it's very good. I want to build a house on that open space. We left the barracks to get some money, and we can buy the land. Do you think it's okay?"

Chu Qingzhi said, "Of course, but you don't need to buy it. Keep your money. I'll arrange the house."

Tang Jinghong gave her 30,000 taels of silver, and it hasn't been spent much yet, more than enough to build a house.

Wan Haonan hurriedly said, "Girl, you can't help us, you've already helped us so much, we can handle these things."

Chu Qingzhi said, "Since I have helped so much, this one is not bad."

Wan Haonan laughed and said gratefully, "Thank you, girl."

At this time, a villager ran over, "Qing Zhi, the person who delivered the calf is here, go and have a look."

"Thank you uncle." Chu Qingzhi hurried home.

The cows are tied with ropes, lined up in two rows, dozens of calves, it is very spectacular to see, this scene is rare, and the leisure people in the village come to see it.

Chu Qingzhi came over, "Steward, did you deliver it yourself?"

"Yes." The steward said with a smile, "Where is the cowshed, I'll help you get there."

Chu Qingzhi pointed out, "Over there."

Under the steward's skilled driving skills, the calf entered its new home smoothly.

Chu Qingzhi asked politely, "Steward, how much is the cow?"
