Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

Chapter 177

Shen Huai, who was sitting opposite her, kept nodding as he listened at first, but his expression became a little heavy after hearing the last part.

Before Shen Lingzhu could finish speaking his mind, he felt the force of his senior sister's shadowless kick on his heel again.

Only then did she notice her uncle's expression, and then she belatedly said, "Is it too much trouble for grandma and grandpa?"

Ever since our family started doing business, my grandfather's family has always helped out, and my uncle would always give them a share of the profits.

But grandpa said that if I gave him money, he would not help me anymore.

"Uncle, how about letting the brothers in the family make their own choices?

Those who wanted to continue learning carpentry stayed to build greenhouses and make beams, while those who wanted to learn cooking skills were dispersed to the prefectural and county towns. Shen Miaozhu couldn't point out her junior sister's mistakes, so she handed the problem over to her uncle to divert the focus.

Shen Huai said, "Let them all cook once, whoever has the talent will go."

Sometimes teenagers cannot stick to a job for a long time based on their temporary preferences.

After saying that, he added, "Miaozhu, go see off the young Taoist priest from the Seven Stars Temple."

Shen Miaozhu knew that her uncle wanted to get rid of her, but she could only give her confused junior sister a look and leave with wishing her the best.

"Uncle, did I say something wrong?" Shen Lingzhu also knew that his uncle had something to say to him.

Shen Huai didn't speak immediately, but walked along the narrow path, and she hurried to catch up with him.

When we were almost at the clan fields, we could see clan members working in the newly emerged winter wheat fields from afar.

In the fields a little further away, many tribesmen, young and old, were out pulling radishes and harvesting cabbages.

When the father and son reached the intersection, a donkey cart carrying cabbages and radishes came by.

The driver was a clan brother. He immediately stopped to greet the two of them and enthusiastically took a few juicy radishes from the car and gave them to Shen Lingzhu: "They are very refreshing, whether eaten raw or mixed with salad, they are all good."

"Brother Maozhu, there are a lot of them at home." Shen Lingzhu was a little amused and wanted to put them back in the car.

But the elder brother refused to give in: "That was what Dazhuzi bought to make pickles. Is this something I'm giving to you?"

Shen Huai smiled and said, "My brother gave it to me, so I'll keep it."

"Thank you, Brother Maozhu, but I can't hold too many, just two will be enough." She hugged two, and her brother took the others and left.

Then, Shen Huai continued walking without saying anything, and Shen Lingzhu continued to follow him.

But before long, several waves of tribesmen came by, harvesting all kinds of vegetables from the fields.

Without exception, Shen Lingzhu always received things given by everyone, and when she couldn't hold it all, an uncle even left a basket for her to use.

Shen Lingzhu understood what his uncle meant. "Uncle, can you carry it together?"

Shen Huai raised his eyebrows: "Can't you move it by yourself?"

"It's hard to move. One person's strength is not as great as two people's.

The power of two people is not as great as that of a clan. "In this era, clans have their positive impact; living together as a clan can increase the ability to withstand risks."

Shen Lingzhu was not close to his brothers who worked as workers, so he did not consider them when selecting people to open a shop in the provincial capital.

“Some people are not good at expressing themselves.

A few times ago, when you were using Xunzhi and Chang'an, you deliberately handed some things over to them." Shen Huai usually didn't say it, but he saw it all.

He decided to say it all at once, "But, the less you use the Shen family's children, the less you'll discover their benefits.

When faced with conflicts between you and your tribe, they may be at a loss as to what to do, but when faced with outsiders, you must believe that they will definitely stand by you."

"Uncle, I don't agree with you. Many of the clan members are good, but Uncle Ten and Jian Xuan may not be.

They both teamed up with outsiders to harm their own family members. Shen Lingzhu would not change her opinion of them anyway.

The reason why Third Grandpa no longer comes to our house often to act like an elder is because he took the bloodstone to the county town and asked about it. It cost several hundred taels!

After he polished off the inscription on the seal stone and returned it, he stayed at home and strictly disciplined his youngest son and grandson. Unfortunately, the two of them had already set their own ways and were difficult to change.

Shen Huai was stunned by her example, and after a long while he finally said, "One or two interesting people, it's better to ignore them."

She stopped arguing and said, "Well, among the five brothers, anyone who has a talent for cooking can come with me.

Uncle, when do we set off? Do we have to wait until Nineteenth Aunt gets married?"

"Yes." Shen Huai walked back with her, carrying the basket. They were talking about what to plant in the greenhouse that would sell for the best price when they saw Second Grandpa leading someone over.

She didn't see her eldest brother accompanying her: "Second Grandpa, where is my eldest brother?"

"I asked him to go with your second uncle to Shenquanji to invite Master Zhao, who is the best at building kangs." Second grandfather Shen Dexian introduced the people around him to Shen Huai.

It is said that this person has wood for making beams.

Although my second grandfather had never built a greenhouse, he knew that whether it was a house or a shed, there had to be a wooden beam to support the top.

Shen Huai naturally welcomed it, as many of the large trees he had cut down from the mountain were still drying in the wind.

He drew the shape of the greenhouse on the ground, and the man immediately calculated how much wood would be needed.

The two parties agreed on a time for delivery, and the man said goodbye and went back to prepare.

My uncle and my second grandfather walked into the empty land while talking.

Shen Lingzhu was left alone at the end of the field and waited for a long while until her senior sister came back from sending someone. She rubbed her face and said, "Senior sister, you just found out why uncle changed his face, but you didn't warn me."

Shen Miaozhu looked at her unhappily and said, "What are you reminding me of? You should be taught a lesson.

It's okay for you to cultivate people you are used to working with, but you have to treat them equally.

We're going to the city soon, and some of Chen Qianhu's men will be joining the store. You have the least relationship with them, so be careful."

"I will." Shen Lingzhu tried not to have much contact with those people and did not assign them any tasks.

She said she had received a lot of vegetables, and the two of them carried a basket of vegetables onto the donkey cart. "Senior Sister, do we need to give the Master some more gifts?"

"Give it to me. The fox fur you brought back from Bingzhou is pretty good." Shen Miaozhu didn't have much time to make her own handicrafts. Most importantly, the things she made were not suitable to be shown here.

They stayed in the fields all morning. Fortunately, Shenquanji was not thousands of miles away, and the eldest brother successfully invited Master Zhao.

After he inspected a few acres of land, he told on the spot how many days it would take to complete and approximately how much it would cost.

Shen Lingzhu was very impressed by these folk craftsmen. They might not be able to read or write, but they could complete the process accurately after looking at the drawings.

Of course, the uncle's drawing on the ground was too sloppy, so everyone present went back to Shen's house at the foot of the mountain and waited for Shen Huai to draw the blueprint on the spot.

With the drawings and manpower, while the greenhouse walls were being tamped, the bricks were bought and the soil was quickly laid.

During this period, my grandfather also came back from the provincial capital and told everyone about the situation of the shop in detail.

After that, in just a few days, the four greenhouses took shape. A few days after attending Shen Shijiu's wedding, the construction was completed in a short time.

The day before composting, Shen Lingzhu, his eldest brother and several selected brothers went to the provincial capital.
