Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1233: Chapter 1232: Secured for the Tong Family_1 Chapter 1233: Chapter 1232: Secured for the Tong Family_1 “Renovate, your own hometown, however you find most comfortable.” Tong Sanlang very much agreed.

Ya Wuxia’s official position was county magistrate, with a term of three years, and it was possible to serve consecutive terms, but at most two terms. Ya Wuxia would at most stay in Xiezi County for six years before being transferred.

But Xiezi County was his hometown, his ancestral home, so it needed to be well maintained.

“You’re better off, having a noble title and not needing to run around.” Ya Wuxia patted his shoulder, “The first person to be ennobled in fifty years, impressive.”

Tong Sanlang smiled, “You just do your job well, and in the future you might hold a top official rank, which is much better than my minor nobility.”

“Let’s talk about that later,” Ya Wuxia laughed heartily and changed the subject, “Let us discuss the development of Xiezi County.”

He’d done well on the palace examination, but now that it was time to actually get started, he felt uncertain again.

The welfare of the entire population of Xiezi County was at stake, so he didn’t dare make decisions lightly.

Tong Sanlang was his close friend who successfully led others in becoming wealthy after becoming wealthy himself, so Ya Wuxia wanted to consult with Tong Sanlang.

He took out a written plan from his bosom, sat down right there, and started discussing it with Tong Sanlang.

Crawfish was the main focus in Xiezi County, and first, they needed to make its name known.

“You’re on good terms with your brother and sister-in-law, and the Ultimate Flavor Restaurant. Could your sister-in-law use the Ultimate Flavor Restaurant to help promote crawfish?”

The things Qiao Xiaomai came up with not only tasted great but also had plenty of gimmicks. Having Qiao Xiaomai advertise the crawfish would definitely be hugely effective.

“No problem,” Tong Sanlang agreed readily, “It’s perfect timing as the chili peppers are also ripening. We can add them to the crawfish, guaranteeing a great flavor.”

Chili peppers and crawfish are a match made in heaven. Last time, when Qiao Xiaomai brought out chili peppers in the cooking competition at Zuixian Building with Shen Chenghao, everyone witnessed the charm of chili peppers.

However, Yang Wenxiao kept the harvested chili peppers in storage last time; they weren’t sold.

When the chili peppers ripen in summer and the harvest is plentiful, they can be sold in limited quantities.

Introducing chili peppers and crawfish together would certainly ignite the passion of the foodies.

Having worked out the advertising, they moved on to the detailed breeding plan.

Ya Wuxia stayed at the manor for a few days, and when he left, Tong Sanlang sent him off with a hefty assortment of goods. The cart was filled to the brim when he arrived, and it was just as laden when he departed.

After his friend left, Tong Sanlang devoted his attention to the wheat harvest.

At that time, there were no machines, so it entirely depended on human labor. The farmers used sickles and spades to cut the wheat straw, then piled it up, and had oxen pull a stone over the straw and ears to crush them.

Once the ears of wheat were crushed, the grains would fall out. This method of threshing would still be used by farmers in later times.

After threshing came drying; only after the wheat was dry could it be stored.

Last year, Qiao Xiaomai had nowhere to store the wheat, so all the harvested wheat was sold immediately.

But this time it was different–this was wheat irrigated with water from the Spiritual Spring. A portion had to be presented to the Royal Family, and another part had to be sold to the Ultimate Flavor Restaurant.

To be precise, it was for the Ultimate Flavor Restaurant, which would make various foods with the wheat. The money earned was her funding for road repairs.

After a batch of wheat was dried, Fan Linong personally led people to escort it to Capital City.

When he returned, he brought back a letter from Yang Wenxiao.

Last year, when the agreement was signed, Yang Wenxiao said he would determine the length of the road construction period based on the quality of this batch of wheat. Since the quality of the wheat was average, he stated in his letter that the agreement had no fixed term. If Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang couldn’t complete it, then it would fall to their children.

In short, these roads in Daqi were now their family’s responsibility.
