Chapter 376

After Lu Jiao finished talking with the tenant, she left Lady Xu and Jinxiu at the Zhuangzi.

There is a ready-made courtyard on the Zhuangzi, and it is just right for Xu Niangzi and Jinxiu to live in it. Lu Jiao went to have a look and thought it was quite good.

"You mother and daughter are temporarily staying here. In a few days at most, Miss Xu can bring Jinxiu to live in the shop."

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, Mrs. Xu nodded, and then said, "Mistress, you can just call me Xu Dou from now on. You don't need to call me Mrs. Xu."

"Row."

Lu Jiao took Uncle Xiao, Feng Zhi Ruan Zhu and Zhao Lingfeng to the fields near the three major workshops.

The field tenants near the three major workshops did not make any noise, and everyone was very happy to hear that Lu Jiao proposed a new cooperation method.

Lu Jiao handed everything over to Uncle Xiao: "When the autumn rice is all harvested, I'll start arranging planting herbs, and I'll let you know when the time comes."

"I see, master."

Lu Jiao took Feng Zhi and Ruan Zhu to the three major workshops.

Among the three major workshops, the oil press workshop has been completely built, and the machines are also in place.

Lu Jiao went over to check it, and it was indeed the same as the blueprint she had drawn.

She asked Cheng Xiang and Lu An, the stewards of the three major workshops beside her, and said, "Where are the soybeans and rapeseed that I asked you to prepare earlier?"

Cheng Xiang immediately asked the workers to prepare the soybeans and rapeseed. Lu Jiao checked it again and found that the soybeans had been picked, all the bad ones were picked out, and the rest were good soybeans.

She put the soybeans in the first machine for chopping, and when they were chopped, she turned the handle and sent the chopped soybeans to the steamer to start steaming. After steaming, she wrapped them up and began to squeeze the oil.

About one hundred catties of soybeans can yield ten to twelve catties of soybean oil.

Although Lu Jiao guided Cheng Xiang and Lu An, she still had no idea whether the oil could be squeezed out. When the oil came out of the machine, she suddenly became excited: "Not bad, not bad."

In the machine room, not only Lu Jiao was happy, but Zhao Lingfeng was also very happy. This is money.

Cheng Xiang and Lu An were also very happy, excitedly leaning over to the oil bottle, smelling the oil in the oil bottle, this oil is so fragrant, they can drink a bowl.

Lu Jiao looked at Cheng Xiang and Lu An, and said, "The bean cakes and vegetable cakes after squeezing the oil are also good things. They can be sold to others to raise pigs and fish. If they can't be sold, we can also build a place to raise pigs ourselves." .”

As soon as Lu Jiao said that, Zhao Lingfeng was moved: "Then let's raise pigs."

Lu Jiao said speechlessly: "I mean, if you can't sell it, you should sell it if you can. The three major workshops are all in operation and will be very busy, so don't bother with other things."

Zhao Lingfeng nodded. Thinking of Lu Jiao's mention of Potassium V tablets last time, he couldn't help muttering, "It would be great if we could produce the kind of antibiotic you mentioned."

Lu Jiao smiled and said, "If you don't have a potash mine, don't even think about it."

The two of them left the oil-pressing workshop while talking, and then went to another workshop to have a look.

The cosmeceutical workshop has almost been built, only the medicine workshop has not yet been completed.

Zhao Lingfeng asked Lu Jiao: "What are you going to do for cosmetics?"

Lu Jiao thought for a while and said, "Let's make soap with medicinal value, rose scented body soap, whitening soap, and fragrance soap."

As soon as she said it, Zhao Lingfeng became excited: "This is good, this is good."

He didn't need to think about it, he knew that if this thing was made, it would definitely sell well.

Those ladies in the capital are not short of money, but they are short of things that attract their attention. Once this medicinal soap comes out, it will definitely be popular.

Zhao Lingfeng thought about it, and asked Lu Jiao, "Then write down the recipes of these soaps as soon as possible."

Lu Jiao nodded her head without any concealment: "Okay."

The cosmeceuticals and the things in the pharmacy use her spirit spring water, even if she writes the secret recipe to them, what they make is not as good as the spirit spring water.

So she was not afraid that Zhao Lingfeng would monopolize her secret recipe.

Lu Jiao thought about it, looked at Zhao Lingfeng and said: "These things must be mixed with my unique secret recipe, so that the effect will be particularly good. The secret recipe I prepared is not because I don't want to teach others, but because of the ratio. It’s just that I don’t master it very well, and I always deploy it based on my feeling.”

Zhao Lingfeng didn't doubt her, because after getting along with her for a period of time, he knew Lu Jiao very well, and he spoke and acted very openly.

"Then trouble you to prepare such a unique secret recipe."

"Um."

Half a day passed quickly, and Lu Jiao took Feng Zhi and Ruan Zhu back to Xie's house.

Just as the carriage stopped in front of Xie's house, Lu Gui came out with four little guys.

As soon as Lu Jiao saw Lu Jiao, she complained: "Sister, you don't know that the four little guys have been guarding the door eagerly, refusing to go in, saying that they are afraid of some danger to you, sister."

After hearing Lu Gui's words, Lu Jiao lowered her head to look at the four little ones and said with a smile, "There is no danger now, those two villains were dealt with by your father before, and we are no longer in danger, mother will be fine."

Si Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief, and the two children rushed over and took her by the hand and walked home. While walking, they took the initiative to tell her about Mr. Shi taking them to play outdoor games in the afternoon.

Today, Lu Jiao arranged a class for Mr. Shi, doing outdoor games and tug-of-war for the children.

The children were very happy when they played this game for the first time.

Er Bao said excitedly: "Mom, we won, Dabao and the others lost."

Little Sibao jumped up happily and said, "I'm in a team with Erbao, and Dabao is in a team with Sanbao. We are stronger than them, and we won the competition."

Dabao didn't care, but Sanbao was unhappy, pouting and humming.

Lu Jiao raised her hand and touched his head and said: "This is a game, whether you win or lose, you have to be happy, the game is to make us happy, if you are unhappy because you lose , that means you can’t afford to lose, and that would be very unmanly.”

Little Sambo immediately straightened his chest and nodded affirmatively: "Mother is right, we lost, we will win back next time."

Lu Jiao nodded happily: "That's right."

The mother and son talked all the way to Xie Yunjin's room.

Xie Yunjin had heard the voices of the mother and son outside, and was looking at the door expectantly. When she saw Lu Jiao coming in, she raised a big smile, and her handsome face was full of joy.

"Jiaojiao, are you back?"

"Um."

Later, Feng Zhi took Ruan Zhu out to prepare dinner.

In the room, Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin talked, mainly because Xie Yunjin asked Lu Jiao about the situation in the field, and Lu Jiao told Xie Yunjin about the disturbance in the village.

However, it didn't mention that the tenant regarded her and Zhao Lingfeng as husband and wife. If Xie Yunjin was told, he would probably be angry again.

As Lu Jiao talked, she thought about meeting the Zhang family's wife in the county, so she hurriedly told Xie Yunjin.

"Did you know that when I was out of town today, I almost ran into someone's carriage?"
