The next day, they all got up early. Rarely, Ling Jingxuan didn’t do morning exercise, instead, he asked Old Zhou, his son, and Old Song to take eolite they bought yesterday to the wasteland, in case that those workers might get bitten by some poisonous bugs, snakes or rats. Some necessary measures had to be done. This money couldn’t be saved.
On the other side, without needing Ling Jingxuan to command, Sister-in-law Song already threw those ox bones into the cauldron and cooked them, and had already kneaded the dough and leavened it with Ling Yun and Liu XIaosui. Today, they’d have to make enough food for over a thousand people. In case they had not enough time, or spilled things everywhere, according to the former experience, she only made those convenient food like stuffed buns or steamed buns.
“Lady Zhang, Lady Wu, go to the kitchen to help, be sure to prepare enough food for at least a thousand people before noon, mom, aunt, you wash the fruit.”
After breakfast, Ling Jingxuan nagged again in case they were not clear of everything. Today, they got a lot of workers. Guarantor Liu hadn’t come with people. But they still had to make everything prepared in advance. Those workers were all farmers. He couldn’t let them suffer. As for the jam thing, with Jingpeng, Brother Zhao and others taking care of it, he wouldn’t have to worry.
“Yes, Master Xuan!”
Hearing that, Lady Zhang and Lady Wu bowed respectfully and backed out. Lady Wang was a little worried, “Jingxuan, are you sure of it? Five people preparing food for over a thousand people? Isn’t it a little difficult?”
“Just making some steamed buns and stuffed buns. It wouldn’t be that hard. We’ll make this decision today. If they really can’t, we’ll go hire some women at the market to specially cook food for us.”
That was also what Ling Jingxuan was worried about, the few maids at home were quite capable, but they really got too many workers this time. Besides, this project would last long. So hiring people was quite necessary.
“It would be best. And we also can’t delay our jam business. Why don’t you ask your father to go hire some people later? Let Sister-in-law Song lead them to do it tomorrow. Ling Yun and others still follow us to wash the fruit. We can’t let others do it, in case they may steal our skills, then our jam can’t sell.”
Lady Wang finally grew smarter, Ling Jingxuan found it amused, “How can it be so easy to learn? Even if someone really learns from us, I dare say the jam he makes would never taste better than ours. So, mom, no worries.”
In fact, making jam really had not much technical content, anyone with some basic cooking skills could learn it easily. But, the thing is, from the washing, to the soaking, till boiling, it all used the spring water. Even if someone learned it from them, how could it ever taste better than theirs? Some knockoff tops. Xinyuan Restaurant stressed the taste most. So they would never ditch them for someone else.
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Hearing him, Lady Wang felt much relieved. Chu Ci who had already had breakfast still hadn’t taken the children to read, Ling Jingxuan gave him a strange look, while Chu Ci said blandly, “I want to see how you are gonna open up the wasteland, so, the kids can have a day off.”
“Well…”
Ling Jingxuan darkened his face. Is reading a child’s play?
“Master Xuan, Guarantor Liu is here.”
Speaking of which, Guarantor Liu finally came. Ling Jingxuan and Yan Shengrui gave each other a look, both got up and went out. Chu Ci turned back to say something to Chu Yan and followed up, as for others, they went to be busy with their own things. Opening up the wasteland was important, but making money was also very important!
“One thousand and two hundred, all the people who’ve been out looking for work all the year round all heard that they could get a free lunch and you never fail to pay, so they all compete to work for you.”
Speaking of which, Guarantor Liu wore a face of joy, at first he thought to raise more than one thousand people in one day would be quite difficulty, unexpectedly, once he let out the news, countless people came to sign up, and he had already gotten enough people till yesterday afternoon, in the evening there were still a lot of people who came to ask about it. So he planned to ask Ling Jingxuan to make the decision today.
“Really? Great! Are they already there?”
Ling Jingxuan picked his eyebrow and made a please gesture, a few people talked while walking.
“Well, your father and two servants are handing out the eolite for them. I guess you are anxious, so I came here to see you first.”
“What about the cattle? How many have you borrowed?”
“That is a little trouble, today I only brought 20 heads, I borrowed them from those big families overnight. You know, those big families basically don’t lack of such little money, so most wouldn’t want to lend them out. But you can count on me. These days, I will definitely get you fifty enough!”
“Sorry to trouble you then.”
While speaking, they had already gone out on the road. From afra, Ling Jingxuan saw a swarm of heads queuing up to receive the eolite. The villagers who heard the news also crowded over and watched for fun. When they heard that Ling Jingxuan bought all the saline-alkali land, many people were being nosy, mocking him, it was just that everyone totally ignored them….
