Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 155 Ancient Female Temple (9)

"Knock knock..." Hearing the knocking sounds coming from outside, Ji Xiao knew that she had reached her destination.

Ji Xiao put down the book in her hand, tidied up the table simply, straightened her clothes, then opened the car door and walked out.

"We are here, girl. The manager of the manor is here."

After Ji Xiao walked out of the carriage, she saw a middle-aged man standing in front of the left side of the carriage, wearing a dark cotton and linen suit. The left side of the carriage was the house on the farm.

"I am Song Youcai, and I am here to meet the master of the family."

"Well, Steward Song, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me girl when you are outside. Banxia and Ada will follow me. The others will follow the steward to the manor to settle down. I will go around for a walk first."

"Yes, lady."

"Yes."

"Does the lady need me to arrange for someone to follow her?"

"No need. Go down and do your work."

"Yes."

After simple instructions, Ji Xiao walked forward, Banxia and Ada followed behind. The weather had been good in recent days, and the grass was relatively dry and not slippery, so the three of them did not need to walk very carefully.

After the three people left, Manager Song led the rest of the people towards the houses on the farm.

No one tried to pull the carriage that Ji Xiao was riding in. After all, everyone had learned their lesson. At the beginning, someone tried to pull it and was kicked in the stomach. Although he was not seriously injured, it was very painful.

Apart from being washed by the groom, this horse only allowed Ji Xiao to touch or ride it, and Ji Xiao named it Zhuixue. Even though its hair was black, it did not affect its liking for the name Zhuixue.

"Zhuixue, follow me." Another team leader besides Ada, leading his horse, said to Zhuixue, then followed Manager Song into the house.

Zhuixue pulled the carriage towards the house and went to the stable at the back to wait for someone to untie the carriage for him.

After Ah Er settled his horse, he came to Zhuixue's side, first asked Manager Song, found a clean bucket to fetch a bucket of water, and then brought a clean wooden basin to fill it with water.

Only then did they begin to unload the carriage. After placing the carriage under the shed, Ah Er took out a wooden comb from the bag on Zhuixue's back and began to groom its hair.

By the time Ah Er had finished everything, a quarter of an hour had passed. Ah Er said to Zhui Xue, "Go find the girl."

Hearing that it was okay, Zhuixue called out twice and went out through the back door to find Ji Xiao.

Ji Xiao took the two of them and took a rough look at the fields on the farm. They found that the soil quality of this small farm was quite varied.

So Ji Xiao said to Banxia, ​​"Banxia, ​​I'll tell you what to do next, and you remember it."

"Yes, lady."

Ji Xiao waited for Banxia to take out the charcoal pencil and paper from her bag before continuing, "The hilly slopes facing south are suitable for growing fruit trees. You can plant some pinellia and some peach trees. For the rest, plant whatever you want to eat. Then there are two acres of sandy land. In addition to planting sweet potatoes and potatoes, you can plant watermelons if there's any left. It's too late now, but after the spring planting, you can go to the mountain to carry back some rotten soil, dig a hole, throw the kitchen waste from every household into it, mix it with the soil from the ground, and ferment it for ten days to half a month. Then you can use it as fertilizer for the crops. Let the old farmer take care of the rest."

"Yes, I will talk to Manager Song later."

"Ah."

At this time, the group of three just walked to the hillside facing north of the house and saw Zhuixue eating grass there leisurely.

"Zhuixue." When Zhuixue heard Ji Xiao calling it, it stopped eating and quickly ran towards Ji Xiao. Ji Xiao touched its smooth hair and knew that it had been groomed.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and Ji Xiao smelled a faint smell of sulfur in the air. After identifying the direction, Ji Xiao casually asked Banxia, ​​"Does the mountain next to it also have an owner?"

"No."

"Then go back tomorrow with your money and go with Manager Song to buy all the nearby mountains."

"Yes."

The reason why Ji Xiao and her group did not meet the farmers in the village was because the three of them were walking in the mountains where there were few people, and they did not speak or make any noise.

After standing for a while, Ji Xiao said, "Let's go back. It's already noon."

Ji Xiao was walking in front, and Banxia, ​​Ada and Zhuixue were following behind.
