Chapter 173 Request, Yuanyue Yuanying
The next day, Shen Xiangwan handed the young men over to Yuan Xiu, asking him to arrange for them to dig canals or build houses. As for the young girls, she handed them over to Zhou Wushuang, asking them to make clothes for the guards. Anyone who dared to be lazy would have their legs broken and sold. It was not until this time that those people knew whether Shen Xiangwan was really kind or not.
Because of Shen Xiangwan's suggestion, Zhao Dashan bought fifty piglets at one go, and his two brothers followed suit and bought twenty. The villagers wanted to follow suit, but were afraid of failure. They were so afraid of being poor that they dared not gamble even if the piglets were cheap.
"That's the thing, Wanwan, can you give me some advice?"
On this day, Zhao Dashan found Shen Xiangwan again and told her about the villagers. He knew that he had made things difficult for her, but seeing the villagers so conflicted, he felt bad too.
"Um···"
Shen Xiangwan did not respond immediately, but lowered his eyes and thought. If he could mobilize the villagers to raise pigs together first, and have a successful case, it would be easier to promote it in Datong County or even in Chenzhou in the future?
"Uncle, I have no way to prove that piglets grow faster after being castrated. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for a month or two. By then, we should be able to see the effect on our pigs. If it is just the fishy smell, I have a way to dispel their concerns."
"real?!"
Hearing this, Zhao Dashan jumped up excitedly. He knew that there must be a way if he asked her. For some reason, he believed in her very much. This was why he went against everyone's opinion at home and bought fifty piglets at once.
"Well, Uncle Zhao, I will be able to solve the remaining problems by this afternoon at the latest. If they still don't dare to start, then I will have no choice."
Lest he imagine the problem to be too rosy, Shen Xiangwan reminded him in a deep voice that there was only so much she could do, and whether the villagers were willing to take a gamble or not depended on themselves. Even if they missed out on this opportunity, they could still raise pigs when they saw their pigs were ready for sale. But who would make more money, the first to try something new or the one who followed suit, was clear to any fool.
"Okay, I'll go back and explain it to them. Wanwan, thank you so much."
He could clearly feel her sincerity. Zhao Dashan couldn't help but have tears in his eyes and bowed deeply to her.
"Uncle Zhao, if you are like this, you are not welcome here anymore."
Shen Xiangwan quickly helped him up. She chose to help out of her own selfish motives, but she couldn't accept such a generous gift from him. Moreover, after this period of contact, she saw clearly that Zhao Dashan was a very honest and straightforward person, and she was willing to interact with him.
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you in the future."
Zhao Dashan rubbed his sore eyes and grinned.
"That's the way it should be, Uncle Zhao. I don't treat you as an outsider."
Having said that, Shen Xiangwan sat back down.
"Wanwan, how are you going to solve the problem of the fishy smell?"
Suddenly remembering this, Zhao Dashan asked anxiously again.
"Well, you'll know later."
Blinking mischievously, Shen Xiangwan deliberately kept him in suspense. In order to make the villagers believe that pork could be without the fishy smell, the simplest and most direct way was to let them all eat pork without the fishy smell. She planned to go back to the space later and ask No. 2 to kill two pigs, and then pretend to bring them back from the county town, and give one pound of pork to every household in the village. Then they would naturally know.
Every household in the village had someone helping her with work, so they thought of it as her helping them improve their food.
"You."
Zhao Dashan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and pointed at her from a distance: "Then I'll trouble you with this matter. I'll go back and tell everyone first."
Zhao Dashan stood up. Ever since he learned about raising pigs, villagers have been flocking to his house. There are still many people waiting at home. "Okay, I'll ask my family to call you when it's ready later."
Shen Xiangwan also stood up, and the two of them walked out of the study room that she had specially asked Yuan Shu to clean up. Now, she basically met anyone here.
After seeing off Zhao Dashan and briefly saying hello to Zhao Yuping and the others, Shen Xiangwan went back to her room and entered the space. When she went downstairs again, it was almost noon. Strangely, there were not only Zhao Yuping and the others in the main room, but also the Wei Chengyi brothers, and two more women who looked to be around 20 years old, tall, and estimated to be around 170 cm tall.
"Come down."
When he saw her, Wei Chengyi's handsome face instantly broke into a smile, and his deep eyes were fixed on her, as if she was the only one in the whole world.
"Ah."
Walking over and sitting next to him, Shen Xiangwan looked at the two women: "Who are they?"
If I'm not mistaken, they should all be innate masters, no weaker than those guards.
"Her name is Shen Xiangwan, and she is my wife."
Without answering her question, Wei Chengyi embraced her and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the two women stepped forward, both knelt on one knee with their fists clasped together, and said, "Yuan Yue (Yuan Ying) greets Madam."
"Get up."
Raising her hand to signal them to stand up, Shen Xiangwan turned her head to look at Wei Chengyi. She probably had guessed what he meant, but she still needed him to confirm it.
"From now on, they will be responsible for serving and protecting you."
Taking her hand, Wei Chengyi said softly that Yuanyue and Yuanying were war orphans just like the guards. The Weiyang Palace gave them a second life and taught them martial arts, so that they could not only protect themselves but also protect others. Their loyalty was unquestionable. When she bought servants that day, she bought all the servants to serve her mother and Ling'er, but missed herself. He said nothing on the surface, but sent a message to the two of them that day to deal with the things in their hands and report back. What other young wives had, his young wife must also have.
"Are they siblings with Yuan Xiu and Yuan Shu?"
Looking at the two people who had automatically retreated to the side, Shen Xiangwan leaned over and whispered in Wei Chengyi's ear.
"No."
Hearing this, Wei Chengyi couldn't help but laugh: "Their names were all given by our grandfather, and they all happened to have the surname Yuan."
If you insist, it's not that coincidental. Yuan is a relatively common surname in the border town of the eastern border. At least one-third of the people have the surname Yuan, so this coincidence happened.
"Okay, from now on you will follow me, Qingying, and help them arrange accommodation."
Since it was his good intention, Shen Xiangwan did not refuse and gave the order casually.
"Yes."
The three of them clasped their fists and bowed at the same time, then quickly left. Zhou Wushuang saw this and quickly asked the cook to serve the dishes. After this delay, it was almost noon. In the past, they would have already had lunch at this time.
