71: Chapter 71: Planting Vegetables (2)_1 71: Chapter 71: Planting Vegetables (2)_1 These five people had heard about the changing ownership of Bafu Restaurant yesterday, each of them filled with apprehension. They feared that with a new boss, their jobs might be at stake. Therefore, when they met the new owner, they all behaved in an utmost respectful and cautious manner. Cai Wei assessed these people and found that they were honest and decent. She was quite satisfied and saw their concerns. As a result, she gently said: “You all don’t need to worry. Although I am now in charge of Bafu Restaurant, as long as you continue to work diligently and do your job well, you can continue to work here. If anyone is found to be shirking or acting dishonestly, I certainly will not tolerate it. As for wages, I promise that with me, Mu Caiwei here, your wages will only increase and not decrease!” These few stern yet gentle sentences reassured everyone. At the same time, they couldn’t help but look at this young girl in admiration. Despite her tender age, she displayed such intelligence and determination, definitely not an ordinary person and surely someone who will accomplish great things in the future! Uncle Zhou also said a few words to everyone. Although he stuttered a bit, which was evident that he had rehearsed it last night, it was clear from his simple words that this boss was an honest and genuine person. They will not be cheated working under him! Cai Wei exchanged a few more words with everyone, then led her mother and siblings to the backyard. Once they entered the backyard, the children’s eyes started darting around in curiosity and excitement. In their old home, they only had three thatched huts. During windy and rainy days, they would worry about the roof being blown away or the mud wall collapsing due to the rain... Their new home here was a sturdy brick house, spacious and impressive. Including the side rooms, there were more than ten in total, eliminating their past worries. The children joyfully ran back and forth between the rooms, unable to decide which room they wanted to live in. Lady Du still wished to live with her children to enjoy the family bonding and to cover them with blankets at night. However, there were no Kangs here, only a babu bed in each room, each covered with embroidered curtains, similar to the description of a Miss’s embroidery room in a story. After much consideration, Lady Du decided to live in the large room in the eastern side with Wu’er; Wen’er was already seven years old, so he was given the room next to Lady Du’s; Cai Fei and Cai Wei each took a room as well. At first, Cai Fei wanted to share a room with her sister, but was decisively rejected by Cai Wei. The reason why she was so eager to move to town was to conveniently move in and out of the Space. If Cai Fei shared a room with her, wouldn’t it restrict her? Naturally, she wouldn’t agree. “You have to do your needlework at night, the bright oil lamp might disturb my sleep...” After coming up with a reason to reject her, the sisters separated and took their own rooms. Cai Wei chose the smallest room at the very west. It was only separated from Fei’s room by a wall. Although the room was a bit small, it was an independent room, making it much more convenient to enter the Space in the future. After moving a few of her personal belongings to her western room and arranging her bed, Cai Wei went to the restaurant in the front courtyard and called out a shopkeeper. She ordered him to hire two extra hands to bring in several carts of soil. The shopkeeper was a bit confused. What does the boss need so much soil for? However, he knew better than to question the boss’s decisions as just a shop assistant. He just nodded and hurried away. In fact, Cai Wei needed the soil to cover up her tracks. The left and right side rooms were currently empty, so why not use them for her cultivation experiments? She transported the soil from the Space out, and then plan to water it using the water from the Lingxi River in the Space to see if she could grow vegetables as lush and abundant as those in the Space! There were six rooms in total. They had been cleaned out by Cui Zhanggui’s family yesterday, and there were not many things inside. It was very convenient for planting vegetables. A cartload of soil from outside was brought in. When no one was watching, Cai Wei put the soil into the Space, and then brought the soil from the Space outside, which she then claimed as the ordinary soil. Instructing workers to evenly spread it on the ground, once the land was prepared, she scattered some common vegetable seeds such as cucumber, eggplant, leaf mustard, spinach, and coriander that she had brought from the Space. She secretly stored the water from the Lingxi in the water jar and helped to water the soil. They all worked till dusk before finally finishing. Looking at the dark soil in the six rooms, Cai Wei prayed: I hope these seeds can grow into vegetables as lush and abundant as those in the Space, just as I wish!
