It was about to be spring time, and Liu Zhimo's studying time was getting more tense as he arranged for more tasks to be a.s.signed to him.
Li Qingling, on the other hand, was busy raising ducks. Now that the reputation of the duck shop had spread, an endless stream of people came to buy roast duck everyday. If he did not increase the amount of ducks she could raise, she would not be able to supply them.
However, the lotus pond at home was only so big. If one were to think too much, it wouldn't be able to be raised.
Li Qingling was annoyed by this matter for a few days, so he went to find the old man to discuss it with him. He wanted to buy a house nearby for himself and raise ducks.
Hearing this, the old man immediately shook his head, saying that it would be hard to buy a house nearby with a lot of money. Moreover, it was so noisy and not so good to use it to raise ducks.
Li Qingling also thought of this problem, the ducks in the house were also noisy, she was afraid that it would disturb Liu Zhimo's study, so she wanted to buy a house quickly and move the ducks out.
"Then what should we do?" After a few days of distress, she said, "If we don't increase the amount of ducks we can raise, then the roast duck restaurant will run out of food." If she couldn't supply it, how much money would she have to lose? Just thinking about it made his heart ache …
She had not expected the business of the roast duck restaurant to be so good. On average, she could sell 500 roast duck per day. How unexpected!
In just three to four months' time, she had already earned twenty thousand taels of silver. This made her feel like she had suddenly turned into a rich person.
The old man thought for a moment, then said, "I have a manor on the outskirts of the city. The place is big, so you can go there to raise ducks." This way, he wouldn't have to harm his lotus pond anymore. Now, the lotus pond wasn't called lotus pond anymore, it was called duck pond.
When he thought of how his pond of lotus flowers had been reduced to such a state, his heart ached.
If he sent the ducks out earlier, he could restore his lotus pond earlier.
"How long does it take to get to the Manor from home?" If it took too long, it would be a bit unreliable. If she were to personally raise the ducks and run so far everyday, she would definitely die of exhaustion.
If it was closer, she could still accept it.
"Not far, about four hours by carriage."
That's not very far.
Li Qingling grinned, and asked the old man to take her to see the manor, was it not suitable for his to raise ducks?
If it was appropriate, she would immediately pack the ducks and raise them.
At most, it would only be a little more difficult for her. In the morning, she would take a bus over to check on the ducks and feed them some spiritual water.
But this was still better than arguing until Liu Zhimo went to study.
The old man rolled his eyes at her and said that he had to eat lunch to get there.
This little girl really forgot to eat the moment she got busy. If he hadn't let the children urge her on, then she would have definitely lost her weight long ago.
Li Qingling laughed a little embarra.s.sedly. She was also aware of her problem, oncehe got busy, she would forget about the time.
After the two of them had lunch, they sat in the carriage and went to the manor.
After going to the manor and seeing the wide wall, Li Qingling's eyes lit up. The manor looked really big, it was enough for his.
"Old man, let's go in quickly and have a look. If you think it's alright, I'll get someone to bring the ducks over."
"Sure …" Seeing Li Qingling being so anxious, the old man shook his head and laughed bitterly. However, he understood Li Qingling's feelings and did not say much.
The two of them entered the manor and strolled around. Li Qingling was extremely satisfied with the manor, especially the river in the manor.
However, she also thought of such a good manor. Using it to raise ducks would be quite a waste.
Besides, this was not her manor, but the old man's. She felt a little embarra.s.sed when she used it.
Li Qingling cleared his throat, laughed and said, "Old man, I don't know if there are any villas around here that are selling these, I want to buy my own." He didn't feel bad using his own things, he could do whatever he wanted with them.
Hearing that, the old man's tiger-like eyes stared at him, "Since when did you and grandpa become so distant from each other?" My things are not yours yet, you can use them however you want. " His villa was rarely visited, and he kept them all. It could be said that Li Qingling had used all of his resources to raise ducks.
When he was a hundred years old, he would leave things for them.
Li Qingling rubbed his nose, he did not dare say anything else. If she were to continue speaking, it would hurt his heart.
In any case, he said that he could use it however he liked, so she might as well use it as she wanted, as she would be more filial to him.
Seeing that Li Qingling did not refuse, the old man calmed his expression and ordered his men to prepare dinner before they returned.
When the boss heard this, he quickly got people to make some homemade dishes for Li Qingling and the others to taste.
He knew that his lords were used to eating big fish and big meat. Occasionally, they would eat some homemade dishes and would find them even more delicious.
"Old man, to be honest, I really want to buy a manor. In any case, the silver I earned is still in my hand. I might as well buy some manor fields or something." Only by making money can one earn more money. If one can't make money by putting it in one's hands, what is the use of it?
This was also true. Buying a few fields was not bad, and with some crops, he could sell them for money.
These kids were also growing up very fast. They had to get some family businesses.
Having thought this through, the old man immediately nodded and said, "Okay, he'll have someone ask around, are there any fields for sale nearby?"
This place was not too far from the capital, so he could come over to take a look anytime he wanted. It was very convenient.
"Jin Zhuang, is there any land for sale nearby?" the old man asked Zhuang Tou. He had been here all along, and if there was any land for sale, he should know.
The manor head respectfully said, "Master, this old servant has never heard of anyone selling fields nearby, but this old servant can be more careful. As soon as I know that there are fields nearby, this old servant will go inform Master."
"Alright, you should go out and look around. If you have any news, come and tell me."
"Yes..."
When Li Qingling heard this, although he was a little disappointed, she knew that he couldn't rush this, it still depended on the timing.
The kids in the family had slowly grown up, and she had to help set up some businesses for them. Otherwise, how would they have the ability to get married?
Earlier, when she was busy getting dizzy, she did not think of this. It was because she came to the manor and saw the old man's manor and the land outside that she thought of this.
The Liu Family's wealth was too thin, and they had to slowly save it up.
After Li Qingling had dinner at the manor with the old man, he took a horse carriage home. Once he returned home, Li Qingling asked his servants to help him catch a duck, and prepared to move the duck to the manor.
In addition to moving the ducks, she had to go outside to buy some more.
When Liu Zhimo walked out of the study, the first thing he saw was this bustling scene.
"Xiao Ling, what are you doing? "Why do you want to catch these ducks?"
Li Qingling wiped the sweat off his forehead, then smiled at Liu Zhimo and said, "I plan to move these ducks to the villa to raise them. After occupying this old man's Lotus Pond for so long, it's about time I return them to him." Don't think that she didn't know. The old man's heart ached when he saw how badly she had ruined the lotus pond.
In fact, she was also a bit embarra.s.sed, but before this, she had no choice but to pretend that she didn't know. Now that she had a place to raise ducks, she could take out the lotus pond and plant them again.
"Manor?" "What manor?"
She forgot to tell Liu Zhimo about this matter. She reached out to grab Liu Zhimo's hand, and told him about it in a concise manner.
Liu Zhimo frowned, and asked Li Qingling if it was too hard on him.
If she went to the Manor every day, she would be exhausted from running back and forth.
"The manor is about four hours away from us. It's not too far away, so it won't be too hard."
Going back and forth would take around eight hours, so it should be considered far. Liu Zhimo looked at Li Qingling with a pained look, "Must you go there every day? Can't you go every few days? You can teach some people to raise ducks so you don't have to watch them every day. " He really couldn't bear for her to run around like this every day. He was too tired.
Li Qingling knew that Liu Zhimo felt sorry for her. After thinking for a bit, he finally said that she would consider …
Speaking of which, the project to raise ducks was getting bigger. She really couldn't do everything by herself, so she could only buy more people and train them on how to raise ducks. Every few days, she would feed the spirit water to ensure the quality of the ducks.
Liu Zhimo sighed, touched her face and said, don't tire yourself out, you need to rest properly.
"Alright, alright, you too. I've been studying for the past few days and you seem to have gotten skinnier." She had seen how hardworking Liu Zhimo was during this period of time. She had also seen her originally somewhat fleshy face become thinner, and she had also seen it herself. She had felt pain in her heart, but she could not help him out.
"Drinking soup every day, how are you skinny? I thought I was getting fat! " Liu Zhimo smiled and said, he didn't want her to worry about him, so he patted her head and said, "Alright, I'm going back to my study to study, don't work too hard, understand?"
"Alright, hurry up and go study. If you're tired, remember to take a good rest as well." Li Qingling smiled and nodded, exhorting him repeatedly.
Liu Zhimo made a sound of acknowledgement, then quickly gave her another kiss before turning to leave.
Li Qingling touched his forehead with a blush and laughed before he continued to help to catch the ducks.
After catching all the ducks in the lotus pond, he brought his men to the carriage and pulled them all into the manor.
After a busy day, she felt as if all the bones in her body were going to scatter. She was truly too tired.
That night, after finis.h.i.+ng her meal and taking a bath, she directly climbed into bed and fell asleep. She did not wait for Liu Zhimo to return either.
When Liu Zhimo returned to her room, the first thing he saw was a tired Li Qingling. He lovingly kissed her forehead, his heart becoming even more determined.
All these years, it had been her supporting the family. After he achieved some results in the spring, he would be able to accompany her and help her shoulder the burden of this family. He wouldn't have to work so hard for her anymore.
