"Oops!" Sassoon covered his forehead and kicked the left butler's calf, "Do you have eyes?"

The left butler took a few steps back, feeling ashamed and angry. With one hand he covered his sore chin from being hit by Sassoon's forehead, and with the other hand he bent down to cover his calf.

"I stood here without moving, but you rushed over regardless of me!"

Zhuyue said seriously: "Yes, I testify that you took the initiative to throw yourself into my arms!"

Sassoon was about to burst into tears. He shouted angrily to Zhuyue, "Just wait! See how I brought my sisters to make things difficult for Qingyun when he came to pick up the bride!"

Zhuyue's joking smile condensed, and she immediately said to please: "Sister Sassoon, good sister, my sister made a mistake. You didn't do it on purpose, you accidentally... threw yourself into my arms."

"You, you, you..." Sassoon blushed and ran away.

Butler Zuo stood awkwardly at the door, hesitant to go in. The atmosphere was so... that he collapsed.

Shangguan Ruoli coughed lightly, pretending that what just happened didn't happen, and said calmly: "Butler Zuo, come in."

Butler Zuo straightened his expression, stepped into the room, lowered his eyebrows and bowed to Shangguan Ruoli: "Greetings to the princess!"

After all, he was a well-informed man and quickly regained his composure, even though the blush on his fair face had not faded.

Shangguan Ruoli said calmly: "No courtesy, but something happened?"

Butler Zuo said respectfully: "Princess, there are many workers from the factory who have signed up, both male and female. How do you choose?"

Shangguan Ruoli thought for a moment and said: "First of all, they must be in good health and let the government doctor check each of them. Those who are sick, especially those with infectious diseases, cannot be treated."

Even if this is a physical examination, it can only be done without a health certificate at this time.

"Secondly, check everyone's hygiene, clothes, hair, and fingernails, leaving them clean and tidy. In addition, check their character and past, and those with criminal records will not be used. The rest will be put on probation, and those who abide by discipline and work honestly will be

Hired after signing the employment contract."

"Yes!" Butler Zuo wrote them down one by one and said, "Mr. Zhou wants to find something to do and doesn't want to live and eat in the house for free."

Shangguan Ruoli asked: "How is her physical condition?"

Butler Zuo said: "I was hungry before, but after more than half a month of nursing, I'm much better now."

Shangguan Ruoli thought for a while and asked, "Is there any suitable job for her to do in the mansion?"

Butler Zuo said: "Everyone in the house is performing their duties, and there is no work for her to do, so I asked the princess for advice."

Shangguan Ruoli touched his chin again and thought for a while and said: "Then let her weave some bamboo or straw baskets. In the future, my factory will use those for transportation or packaging boxes, and then I will pay her on a piece-rate basis.

"

Although oil paper is available in this time and space, it is very expensive and the cost of packaging seafood is a bit high. It is better to prepare some baskets of different sizes and package them according to the needs of customers and product types.

Butler Zuo nodded and said: "Okay, this will save her the trouble of sitting idle in the small yard. I just wonder if she can do this?"

Mrs. Zhou either lived in the mountains or came out to beg. She was suddenly detained in a small yard, which was really unbearable.

Shangguan Ruoli said: "If she doesn't know how, find someone who can teach her. Let her weave big fish baskets and bamboo baskets first. She lives by the sea, so she should be able to do these. We will inevitably use a lot of these things when transporting goods in the future."

"Okay," Butler Zuo said again, "over there in the terraced fields, the master farmer said that the first batch of rice seedlings are ready for transplanting."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, "The terraces have undergone irrigation experiments. There are no leaks in the ridges, right?"

Butler Zuo said: "Yes, but they have been renovated and refilled with water. There is no leakage for the time being."

Shangguan Ruoli said: "Then make arrangements and transplant the rice seedlings. However, you must always pay attention to the condition of the ridges. If you find any problems such as holes, collapses, subsidences, gaps, etc., you should repair them immediately. Otherwise, in the rainy season, if there is a collapse, it will take half a year.

The fruits of your labor will be destroyed.”

Butler Zuo: "Okay."

Shangguan Ruoli also asked: "Don't waste the ridges of the terraces. You can make full use of them. You can plant some crops on them, such as pumpkins, sweet potatoes, potatoes, yellow flowers, peanuts and beans, etc."

Butler Zuo's eyes lit up. The ridge took up a lot of space. He felt it was a pity that he hadn't thought of this. "Yes! I'll make arrangements for it right away."

"By the way, plant ash, human and livestock excrement, and some weeds, leaves, etc. can be piled together to accumulate fertilizer. From now on, after harvesting this season's grain, you can use farmyard manure to fertilize, so that the land will be more fertile.

." As an agent, Shangguan Ruoli is really not good at these things.

I saw it occasionally on some agricultural channels, and I also saw it once when I went to the countryside to perform tasks.

"Ah? What? Plant ashes, human and livestock excrement? Accumulated manure?" Butler Zuo was a little dumbfounded.

Don’t farmers depend on the weather for their livelihood? Just sow the seeds and wait for the harvest.

If it rains, it rains. If it doesn’t, it rains.

Shangguan Ruoli raised his eyebrows, "You don't believe it?"

"Trust, trust, trust! I will post a notice and implement it." Of course, Butler Zuo believed Shangguan Ruoli.

According to Shangguan Ruoli's design, they not only built terraces, but also led mountain springs to the terraces, and built something called a waterwheel. If you want to irrigate, just step on the waterwheel.

When water is released, the field ridges are dug and the water flows into the creek.

In addition, Shangguan Ruoli also suggested cultivating seedlings in a greenhouse first and then transplanting the rice seedlings. In this way, three crops of rice can be harvested in a year in the warm places down the mountain. The temperature in the mountains is lower, so two crops can be harvested in a year.

Shangguan Ruoli said: "The terraces where fruit trees are planted should also be dug, fertilized and prepared. When the saplings arrive, the fruit trees can be planted."

With the help of the border guards, the construction speed of the terraces has been greatly accelerated, and the results will be obvious this year.

"Yes!" Butler Zuo agreed respectfully and answered some questions before saying goodbye and leaving.

After the left butler left, Sassoon came in with a plate of pastries to wait on him.

Blinking her big eyes, pretending to be nonchalant, she said, "Princess, are you hungry?"

Shangguan Ruoli also joked as if nothing had happened: "Where have you been? Get me a glass of water quickly. I'm thirsty after talking to Butler Zuo for so long."

As soon as Sassoon heard the words "Left Butler", his face suddenly turned red and he spat: "That old bastard has no eyesight at all. He didn't see that the princess is heavy, and he still lets you worry!"

With that said, he hurriedly poured a cup of fruit tea for Shangguan Ruoli.

Shangguan Ruoli snickered, why didn't this girl say that she didn't dare to come in and serve her?

Too old to practice cultivation? I am only thirty-two years old.

Sassoon secretly glared at Zhuyue, blaming her unbridled jokes for delaying her ability to serve the master. He would definitely embarrass Qingfeng when she gets married!

However, there was no need for her to be embarrassed, Qingfeng's wedding team was in a bit of a panic when they arrived, and Qingfeng was even injured.
Chapter completed!
