Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 172: Talent Hunting

The remaining few people also placed their own signs on the long tables they preferred. Lu Dianzhuan looked at the wooden signs on the long tables and finally placed his own wooden sign on table number three.

There were four wooden signs on table number three, one wooden sign on table number six, and the other two wooden signs on table number four. In less than a cup of tea, the results were out and the flower buds were selected.

The other several food vendors packed up their dishes unhappily and left on their mule carts.

Gui Jijiu and the members of the judgment team also walked out of the West Hall without even glancing at Hua Lei.

Uncle Fu was already weighing and settling the bill with the canteen's steward, while he and Brother Kong were taken by Dian Zhuan to sign the contract.

Hualei followed Lv Dianzhuan and smiled happily. When an opportunity comes, you should work hard, think more, think more. Do more, do more, and now you have seized it!

A quarter of an hour later, Uncle Fu brought back a pile of empty bamboo baskets and waited next to the mule cart with a smile on his face.

From now on, the vegetables, chickens and ducks on the farm will have a good place to go. The young lady and the young master will live better and better. If the master and the old lady knew about it, they would definitely be happy. It is really great to be chosen.

Two cups of tea later, Hualei and Xiao Kongge came back with the contract, smiling.

Today's trip was not in vain. The boss asked him to come here today just in case he was chosen by his family. He often reads contracts and has experience. Now he has really signed a contract with the Imperial College on the spot, which is really great. Brother Kong thought to himself.

Several people returned to Yuanying Manor with joy and told the people there the good news. When they heard that they were really selected and could deliver goods to the Imperial College every day, they couldn't help cheering.

In the eyes of these farmers, the Imperial College was like a god, and many of them hoped that their children and grandchildren could enter.

It's a pity that there is no opportunity. It would be an honor to deliver goods to the Imperial College now. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." The vegetables grown on my own farm and the chickens and ducks raised in the pen can all be delivered to the Imperial College.

In the future, maybe my descendants will have the hope of being sent to the Imperial College. If my son can’t do it, then I’ll send my grandson. If my grandson can’t do it, then I’ll send my grandson’s son. One day, he will be able to do it.

As a result, the people in Zhuangzi worked harder and made money quickly so that they could have enough money to send their children and grandchildren to the Imperial College in the future.

Because they came back a little late, Hualei, Uncle Fu and Brother Kong had a simple lunch on the farm. Then Hualei went to the study on the farm to sort out the next things.

The contract will start to take effect on December 1st, and there are still eleven days left.

In the next few days, we will set up several vegetable picking teams and cleaning teams, and set up a slaughtering team responsible for slaughtering chickens, ducks and geese. Even though the chickens and ducks delivered today are all alive, the chickens, ducks and geese delivered later will need to be slaughtered and cleaned by the farm.

A special delivery team was set up. They needed to deliver goods every day, except for the day when the Imperial College was closed. Alas, we were too short of people, really too short of people, especially those who could read and count!

Hualei grabbed his hair and was a little bald.

Although most people in Baihua Village can read and count, they still need to be able to read and count when making canned fruit and pickled peppers, and they have to calculate how much sugar and salt to put in, as well as count the output.

Recently, I have been seconding Brother Kong and the two brothers from the Zheng family to Yuanying Manor because there are too few people in Yuanying Manor who can read and count.

Most of the farmers are elderly, weak and female, so it is a bit difficult for them to learn. Even if Hualei is willing to let Xiao Kongge teach them, there has been little effect in the past six months.

The people from Qingyun Lane could not be mobilized. Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu were basically in Yuanying Village every day, and only went back occasionally when there was something going on in Qingyun Lane.

Ping An was in charge of the bookstore, and he was busy from morning till night every day, without any time to stop. Since this year, the types and quantities of goods to be delivered to the academy in Shangjing City and the private schools in the suburbs of Beijing have increased, and the quantity and names of goods have increased from time to time, so Brother Xiaoqun was also very busy. He was basically out for more than 20 days a month, and he could rarely take care of the bookstore. It was basically impossible for him to be transferred to Yuanying Manor.

Aunt Song, Xiaoxiao and her mother, as well as Aunt Luo, are very busy supporting the bun shop. Although these three are literate, Aunt Song is the backbone of the bun shop and is in charge of all its affairs.

Although Mrs. Luo's cooking skills are quite good and her steamed buns and wontons are very popular with customers, she still has to take care of Yaya, who is less than three years old, and Xiaofei, who attends a private school. Therefore, she cannot replace Aunt Song for the time being, so Aunt Song and Mrs. Luo cannot be transferred.

Xiaoxiao can recognize words and numbers, but in Aunt Song's eyes, she is just a child. Aunt Song is worried about transferring her to Yuanying Manor alone. As a mother, this is normal. After all, Xiaoxiao is only one year older than Hualei. So Hualei is embarrassed to ask for Xiaoxiao, a girl, to be transferred to Yuanying Manor alone for a long time.

Now only Brother Xile is able to move, but because the bookstore and the steamed bun shop are busy, he is randomly helping out on both sides and is spinning like a top. It is difficult to transfer him away.

When buying slaves outside, there were not many who could read. Hualei's younger brother Youdi kept an eye on them, but there were very few slaves who could read and count. Hualei did buy more than twenty slaves who could not read.

Two were placed in Qingyun Lane to help with the steamed bun shop by washing dishes and cleaning the yard. The rest were assigned to two farms, but there was no news of the servants who could read and count.

Now that we have a contract with the Imperial College, we have to deliver dishes according to the Imperial College's detailed purchase list every day, so we definitely need to be able to read and count.

The people assigned to the farm had to be literate and know how to count, and the people who sent the goods to the Imperial College also had to be literate and know how to count. Uncle Fu was in charge of a lot of things in Yuanying Farm, and Brother Xiao Kong was in charge of the accounts of the two farms. They were really busy.

Hualei searched around but couldn't find a suitable person to take charge of this matter. If it really didn't work, she could only let Uncle Fu take over and take care of the affairs of the farm herself every afternoon.

Go buy a literate servant as soon as possible. If there is no news from Sifangyuan, I can only look for him in other dental shops in South City District and West City District. Hualei can only think like this.

Maybe God also heard Hualei’s voice and sent someone to her because he was worried about her.

Two days later, Tian Changmu brought a group of fifteen people from the Tian family to the house in Qingyun Lane.
