Although the cotton grown in the first year was not enough to put on cotton-padded clothes for all the soldiers, it was barely enough to supply only the soldiers in the cold northern regions.

With the successful experience of growing cotton this year and the high yield of grain, a lot of manpower can be freed up to plant other crops.

We can increase cotton planting efforts next year. I believe that within two years, the people and the army will be able to wear warm cotton clothes and cover themselves with warm quilts in the cold winter.

Because when he received the imperial edict, the corn had not yet been harvested, and the emperor did not know how high-yielding the corn was. When the corn was delivered to Beijing, and after seeing Lin Xiaoman's record of the whole process from corn planting to harvesting, the emperor realized that corn was more productive than sweet potatoes.

Higher value.

This time, she was rewarded for the cotton she grew. It also meant to make up for the lack of rewards in the previous time. The four surrounding counties of Qingping County were reduced to towns and unified under the jurisdiction of Qingping County.

After Lin Xiaoman was the Lord of Qingping County for several months, he was named the Lord of the Qingping Group. All wasteland in the new Qingping County will be managed and planted by the Qingping Group Lord.

Lin Xiaoman also had a headache when she thought that the planting plan she had just formulated would need to be adjusted after receiving this imperial edict. She was worried about managing the original land in Qingping County. Now that the management area has expanded four times, she was frightened.

Ah.

Fortunately, she saw Lu Jin's comforting gaze, which made her feel at ease. With Lu Jin making suggestions and managing the land for her, all she had to do was think about what to plant on the new land.

There are so many new varieties and new planting experiences there, how can she still not understand if she just copied them?

Pork ribs stewed with dried beans, pickled cabbage and pork belly stewed with vermicelli, and braised fat-headed fish with spicy sauce. Under Lin Xiaoman's guidance, Xiuxiang's cooking skills became more and more sophisticated, and the dishes she produced were also impressive.

The cornmeal cakes and the cornmeal cakes were enough to satisfy Grandpa Fang again.

After drinking a large bowl of sweet and sour hawthorn water, Eunuch Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If the princess goes to the capital to open a restaurant, these dishes alone will be the best in the capital."

Lin Xiaoman smiled shyly, "How can that be possible? There are all capable people in the capital, and I can only make home-cooked dishes, but there is no comparison."

"Haha, Princess, you don't have to belittle yourself. These few dishes are delicious that our family has never tasted. Not to mention they are better than those cooked by the royal chef in the palace, but they have a unique flavor."

Thinking of the delicacies he had just eaten, Eunuch Fang thought of his younger brother who opened a restaurant in the capital. If these dishes could be made available in his younger brother's restaurant, the people who come and go to the restaurant would not be like they are now, just for his sake.

Went to give money.

But it was too presumptuous to bring this up, and he didn't know whether to take it seriously or not.

Seeing that he looked worried, Lu Jin said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Eunuch Fang chuckled and said to Lin Xiaoman: "Princess, I wonder if it would be okay for our family to put these dishes in Brother's restaurant?"

"What's wrong with that? It's just a few home-cooked dishes. I'll write down the recipes later and my father-in-law will just take them."

Having lived in Hedong Village for a period of time before, Eunuch Fang also knew that Lin Xiaoman was not the kind of person who knew how to calculate. She said it didn't matter, and she probably didn't mean it in her heart, so he thanked her and accepted her kindness.

Lin Xiaoman took a pen and paper and wrote down the recipes for these dishes and a few more big dishes. When Eunuch Fang took a look at the recipe, he was even more grateful to Lin Xiaoman.

This time, there was no need to wait for the corn to dry and thresh. After Father Fang read out the imperial edict, he only stayed in Hedong Village for two days and then left.

Before leaving, Lin Xiaoman loaded him with a cart of pickles, a cart of sauerkraut, and a cart of sausages and bacon that had not been dried well. It was freezing in the north, so it would be the same if he took them out and continued to dry them in the capital.

He also wrote down the method of pickling sauerkraut and brought him two packets of cabbage seeds. As long as he finds a land to plant them near the capital, he will be able to produce large cabbage plants next year, and then he can pickle sauerkraut himself.

Eunuch Fang is very grateful. Even though these are nothing compared to the dozens or hundreds of taels of silver he used to get when he went to other people's houses to read out imperial edicts, but these are all good things. You can buy them even if you want to buy them outside.

Can’t buy it.

Although he also coveted Lin Xiaoman's recipe for making bacon and sausage, he couldn't be too pushy, so he didn't even dare to mention it.

Lin Xiaoman also prepared a cart of local specialties for Grandma Jin, such as potato vermicelli and sweet potato vermicelli, and also wrote down the methods on how to make the dishes.

There are also several boxes of brown sugar made by Lin Xiaoman from beets, including ginger, date, rose, and osmanthus. The taste is very different from the brown sugar made here in the past. It is good for women to drink it to improve their beauty.

Eunuch Fang and Aunt Jin knew each other well and had a good relationship. Seeing that Lin Xiaoman still remembered Aunt Jin, he was happy for Aunt Jin. At the same time, he also thought that Lin Xiaoman was a real person and not the kind of person who would be acquainted with someone on the go.

After seeing off Eunuch Fang, the weather started to cool down again in a few days, and the people in the village spent most of their time at home except for taking care of the greenhouses.

Lin Erhu still goes to Xu Qiuliang and Lin Dajiao's home to study every day. Those students who live far away live in empty houses in the west of the village and go to Xu Qiuliang's home to eat and study every day.

Lin Xiaoman spends most of her time in the warehouse, which she has decorated to make it feel like home. She has given up the rental house next to the textile factory, but from time to time she still goes to Grandma Chen's house to sit and work on the sewing machine.

Everything has improved rapidly, and it won’t take long before she is confident that she can make the same quality as the trousseau Lin Dajiao wore on her wedding day.

When she has nothing to do, she reads and studies here, and checks her phone from time to time. If someone comes to the house over there, she can hear the shouts.

She would also go shopping with Meng Meng on weekends. Ever since she earned more than 30 million from selling jade, Lin Xiaoman wanted to buy a villa in the city.

Qingping City's economy was very prosperous in the early years, but due to some policies and energy depletion, the economy has become worse and worse in recent years. A three-story villa in the urban area only costs more than 2 million, which is not as good as living in

Is a rental house in a textile factory much better?

So, Lin Xiaoman searched the Internet for information about villas for sale. He wanted to buy any of them, but he couldn't make up his mind.

I was thinking whether the siblings should live together or wait until the first month of the year when Lin Erhu doesn't have to go to Xu Qiuliang's class to go see them together.

In the afternoon, Lin Xiaoman went out to the express delivery point and pushed a flatbed truck. When he came back, the flatbed truck was fully loaded. It took more than an hour just to unpack it.

Until Lin Erhu came back from school and came to the warehouse, Lin Xiaoman was still changing the packaging of the cream.

This job is so exhausting. If it weren't for the inability to explain where the cream went after bottling it, Lin Xiaoman would have wanted to hire someone to do it.

Lin Erhu ordered a takeaway. Soon after he was full, the doorbell rang outside and the tutor came over to teach.

Although this is a warehouse, everything that needs to be purchased has been purchased, so it does not look shabby.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the class, the siblings heard knocking on the door and Lu Jin calling for someone outside the courtyard. Looking at the unaware tutor, Lin Xiaoman felt anxious, but he couldn't do it in front of her.

He got into the closet.
