Chapter 144 New Business Opportunities

Zhou Lingling discovered a new business opportunity.

All the officials and wealthy families in Anbei City had walls of fire burning in their homes like theirs.

Even poor families would save up firewood and make charcoal before winter to heat their kangs during the harsh winter.

Therefore, for the wealthy families in Anbei City who have no vegetables in winter, vegetables produced in greenhouses are a necessity.

Three full baskets of vegetables were carried out from Zhou Lingling's yard. Chen and Zhou Laoer hurried over after hearing Meixiang's words.

"Daughter, what are you...doing?"

Chen pulled her daughter back to her yard and asked, the worry in her eyes was obvious.

When she came to Northern Xinjiang, she wanted her daughter to keep a low profile and not let anyone discover the secret.

As a result, she saw that her daughter was becoming more and more bold.

Zhou Laoer and Zhou Chi also looked a little serious.

When Zhou Lingling saw the worry in her mother's eyes, her joy at having come up with a brilliant way to make money suddenly froze.

She pursed her lips and said, "Mom, I want to send these across the street."

Chen didn't say anything, waiting for her daughter to continue.

Zhou Lingling continued, "Northern Xinjiang has entered a cold winter since October. Until the end of February next year, there will be five full months where no leafy vegetables will grow in the fields."

"We can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor in northern Xinjiang. So, we can grow vegetables here and sell them. It's not a complicated thing. We just need to put up a few rows of racks in each firewood-burning house, add some soil, and water them properly, and they'll grow."

Chen and Zhou Laoer exchanged a glance. "Is it really that simple? Then why is there no human race in the Northern Frontier?"

Zhou Lingling: "Because the seeds are different."

Several vegetables available in Dayuan today cannot germinate when the temperature is extremely low. Even if they are placed in a greenhouse, the ones that grow out are crooked and cracked.

They had told her this as early as two days ago when she asked Uncle Tie where they could buy vegetables.

The seeds in her space were originally the same, all of which were bought when she was in Yunlai Town.

But because it has been improved in space and watered with spiritual spring water, it can grow smoothly.

Zhou Lingling didn't say the following, but Chen and the others understood.

Only my daughter's seeds can grow vegetables in this cold winter.

"What if someone inquires about the seeds..." Chen was still a little worried.

Zhou Chi said, "Mom, we can say that Dad got it from the boat, just like my sister's potatoes and sweet potatoes."

When Zhou Chi said the second half of the sentence, his eyes were full of ridicule when he looked at his sister.

This was what Zhou Lingling used to fool the people of Zhoujia Village and others.

The person being teased nodded calmly, "Yes! Mom, that's what Big Brother said!"

After saying this, she smiled ingratiatingly at her elder brother.

Zhou Lao Er: In the end, I took it all on my own...

But it's better for him to be blamed than my daughter. Even if there is any problem, it will be his fault.

Now that we know the source and the method of planting it, we can definitely sell it.

What else can you say?

"Then do it!"

Chen finally nodded, but said, "Your father and I have a lot of empty yards, so you can use the two side rooms over there to grow crops from now on."

"As for you, don't let them come here anymore."

She knew that her daughter liked to tinker with some strange things, and except for Meixiang, no one else in the family had signed the contract.

A little kindness will be repaid with a big grudge.

The Tang family seems to be hardworking, honest, and grateful now, but human hearts are unpredictable. Who knows what will happen in the future?

Chen was unwilling to gamble with her daughter.

Zhou Lingling agreed very readily.

"Okay, Mom! Then you and Dad will have to work hard to grow vegetables and support us~"

What else can she do with her yard if it is freed up?

The Zhou family had no idea how much of a commotion Tie Yuan and the others had caused in the general's mansion by delivering the dishes.

They also have to start preparing food for the next day and the day after tomorrow.

According to the custom in the southern region, no one uses weapons or sticks during the New Year.

So they had to make some food that could be stored for the whole family to eat tomorrow.

The small kitchen in the yard was not big enough, so everyone went to the big kitchen.

Zhou Lingling couldn't help, so she could only drag her elder brother to Chen's yard to see how the two side rooms should be prepared for use in two days.

She was jogging in front, and Zhou Chi was holding Zhuqing, who was wrapped like a dumpling by Meixiang, in his arms.

“Gigi…”

"Ah ah ah..."

Hearing Zhu Qing's voice, Zhou Lingling ran back again.

"Calling me?"

"Come, repeat after me... Sister, sister..."

"Sister, it's not Gigi..."

Zhou Lingling taught for a long time but the boy still just kept saying "jiji", and his shoulders suddenly drooped.

Zhou Chi looked at her with amusement: "Zhu Qing is only one year old. It's already good enough that he can recognize people. Do you still expect him to be able to talk to you fluently?"

Zhou Lingling gave her elder brother a cold look, thinking to herself, you won't understand.

Zhuqing was a baby saved by the spiritual spring water, so she must be different from ordinary children.

She didn't see that after teaching for a long time, the little thing just acted like a monkey, clapping its hands and laughing happily.

Don’t even mention that he can’t be taught. Zhou Lingling thinks this kid did it on purpose!

Thinking of this, Zhou Lingling looked at the baby in her brother's arms with a dim gaze.

The latter gave her an innocent smile in return.

Zhou Lingling: ...

Turn around and leave.

It's getting late,

Everyone in the Zhou family had just finished their work and were preparing to change clothes and go out.

Feiyu came to the house in person.

"The garrisons of the twelve cities have all arrived. The master is busy with an audience and can't leave, so he asked me to come and pick you up."

Chen and Zhou Laoer were slightly frightened.

Xiao Yan is the King of Northern Frontier, so Fei Yu must be a high-ranking official as well.

"It's only a few steps away, we can go there by ourselves. It's such a trouble for you to come and pick us up in person..." Chen said politely.

Feiyu smiled and said, "Madam, this is just the first time. I'll show you the way. From now on, you'll have to come by yourself."

"Our master said, just like in Yunlai Town, you must not be so reserved."

Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still nervous.

I heard that not only military personnel came there today, but also some prominent families from Anbei City.

Of course, the latter is also the customer my daughter wants to win over today.

Thinking of this, Chen suddenly felt her tension eased a lot.

To round it off, we are going to discuss business tonight.

She can do this!

Everyone changed their clothes.

The Tang and Sun families and Meixiang originally wanted to stay at home, but Feiyu said:

"We've all been traveling together from the south. We're like family, even if we're not. The master specifically instructed us to go together. I can't complete my mission if you don't go."

So a large group of people, old and young, went to the general's mansion.

As soon as you step into the gate of the general's mansion, you will feel a sense of solemnity even though it is bustling inside.

The people serving dishes and cleaning up here were all wearing military uniforms, with happy smiles on their faces.

Feiyu led them through the ceremonial gate, and the courtyard behind it was very large.

The tables and chairs were set out all the way from the main hall, with the last seat actually placed at the ceremonial gate.

Many guests had already arrived. Their sudden appearance, led by Fei Yu, who was beside the general, attracted a lot of people's attention.

It was not the first time that Tie Yuan and his friends came to the general's mansion to have New Year's Eve dinner. After looking around, they found someone they knew.

After saying something to the Zhou family, they went to find their old friend themselves.

Aside from Zhou Lingling, everyone else was extremely nervous. They hadn't expected Feiyu to actually lead them into the front hall...
