After all, there were about three hundred kilograms of thistles in her space.

When they were approaching Huichun Hall, Shen Shuangshuang stopped the carriage on the side of the road.

After opening the curtain and entering the carriage, he took out six baskets of thistles from the space.

After taking a look at the fresh and strong thistle plants, Shen Shuangshuang was satisfied.

After getting out of the carriage compartment, we continued to the Huichun Hall.

It was already midnight, and there were several patients in the Huichun Hall who were coming for consultation and medicine.

After Shen Shuangshuang arrived, he did not ask the front office clerk to help, but asked them to go to the backyard to call someone.

Not long after, the medicine boy who was helping in the backyard came over.

Shen Shuangshuang handed the carriage directly to the two medicine boys and hurried towards the backyard.

In the backyard, Shen and her medicine boys were making medicine. When they heard that Shen Shuangshuang was coming, they stopped what they were doing.

"Mom, I brought you a batch of raw medicinal materials. Take a look and see if you still need it?!" Shen Shuangshuang strode into the backyard. Before anyone arrived, he shouted to Mrs. Shen.

Shen raised her head and saw Shen Shuangshuang's bright smiling face.

Just as he was about to say a few words, two medicine boys came in carrying a basket of raw medicinal materials.

"My boss! It's thistle! It's the best thistle! It's big and strong, and every one of it grows well!" A medicine boy said in surprise.

"Oh?" Shen said "oh" pretending to be surprised and looked at Shen Shuangshuang.

Shen Shuangshuang looked proud.

"We collected about three hundred kilograms in total. They are clean and can be dried directly!"

Shen smiled and nodded.

When the basket was delivered to him, he was overjoyed just by looking at it.

Reaching out and touching the thistle in the basket, Shen couldn't help but think of the two ginseng sticks that Shen Shuangshuang took out earlier.

That one really doesn't look like ginseng, but looks like a radish.

"Boss, we have been collecting raw medicinal materials for so long, but we have never seen them grow so well!" said a medicine boy.

"That's right! These big thistles are growing so well, each one is big and strong. Madam, where did you get them?" Another medicine boy followed.

The smile on Shen's face froze slightly, "Go and bring in the remaining raw medicinal materials." She changed the topic.

The two medicine boys answered "yes" and hurried out.

Mrs. Shen glanced at Shen Shuangshuang and put the thistle in his hand back into the basket.

“Let’s plant another three hundred pounds of big thistles, and then switch to small thistles.”

"Also, don't send one kind of medicinal material next time. You can send two or three medicinal materials together, and reduce the quantity." Sending one medicinal material at a time, and in such a large quantity, can easily arouse suspicion.

"Oh." Shen Shuangshuang glanced at her mother-in-law playfully and responded.

It's easy to send a few more medicinal materials at one time. She just adjusted the planting arrangements on the red soil.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and the medicine boy quickly brought the remaining thistles.

Shen Shuangshuang couldn't help with what happened after that, and was driven away by Mrs. Shen.

Shen Shuangshuang thought for a while and went to the carpenter's workshop.

Well, the groceries will be arriving soon, so let's go get some ready-made shelves.

When they arrived at the carpentry workshop, Shen Shuangshuang went to shopkeeper Li to order some shelves and selected some boards before leaving.

When we returned to Dahe Village, the scorching sun was already high.

Shen Shuangshuang arrived home despite the summer heat.

Chuntao came up with a maid.

"Servant Xia He, I've met Madam!" The new maids both saluted Shen.

Shen Shuangshuang glanced at Xia He.

He glanced at Chuntao again.

"Know?" asked.

At the same time, he gave the whip in his hand to the servants who came up to meet him.

Chuntao smiled and saluted Shen Shuangshuang.

"Madam, you are smart. Xia He is my sister when I was in Yan Mansion."

"Madam showed mercy this time and asked Chuntao to pick people in the workshop, but Chuntao showed favoritism."

Seeing Chuntao being so frank, Xia He felt worried for her and himself.

Shen Shuangshuang smiled.

"Okay." He said that and walked inside.

Chuntao quickly followed with Xia He.

"I don't know in the kitchen that Madam is back for lunch. Madam wants to eat something. I asked Xia He to tell the kitchen."

"There's nothing I want to eat. Let the kitchen watch it." Shen Shuangshuang said.

"By the way, it's too hot. Go get some hot water and bring it to the courtyard. I'll freshen up."

On such a hot day, she was not going to go out again.

"Yes!" Chuntao agreed.

He stopped and blocked Xia He behind him.

After Shen Shuangshuang walked away, Chuntao looked at Xia He.

"Go get some water for Madam. Behave yourself later." He said to Xia He.

Xia He nodded quickly.

"Yeah." After responding, he walked towards the kitchen.

Chuntao looked at the direction Shen Shuangshuang left and followed quickly.

Returning to the courtyard and entering the room, Shen Shuangshuang immediately felt much cooler.

Chuntao followed him in and took out a cattail leaf fan to fan Shen Shuangshuang.

He took the teapot from the table next to him and poured tea for Shen Shuangshuang.

Shen Shuangshuang glanced at Chuntao, took the tea cup and drank all the tea in the cup.

Chuntao was a little amused when she saw this.

The madam is very different from the official lady, she has some pride in her body.

This kind of pride is not rude, and the scale is just right, so that people can only appreciate it and have no bad feelings.

Shen Shuangshuang raised his head and glanced at Chuntao.

"Are you thirsty?" he asked her casually.

Chuntao was stunned for a moment.

"I'm not thirsty, slave," he replied with a smile.

He thought to himself: This is Madam, please get close to her.

Shen Shuangshuang didn't force it.

He pushed the teacup towards Chuntao and said, "Have another cup."

"Giggle." Chuntao covered her lips and continued to pour tea for Shen Shuangshuang.

Shen Shuangshuang drank another cup of tea and finally felt more comfortable.

Glancing at the door, Shen Shuangshuang felt the sunlight was a bit dazzling and returned her gaze to the house.

"Bring Xia He here, is the handover ready at the workshop?" he asked.

"The handover has been completed." Chuntao replied.

"What's the reaction at the workshop to the literacy class?" Shen Shuangshuang asked in passing.

Chuntao looked a little excited.

"Everyone in the workshop is talking about this, and there are so many people signing up!"

"But Manager Wu has a limited number of places. He has already informed everyone that he will be selected from those who have signed up. The list will be announced tomorrow."

There was more smile in Shen Shuang's eyes.

"Madam, that literacy class... can Xia He and I sign up?" Chuntao suddenly asked.

Shen Shuangshuang was startled.

Looking at Chuntao.

Chuntao quickly saluted Shen Shuangshuang.

"Slave—I also want to learn more."

Shen Shuangshuang waved his hand to Chuntao to get up.

"That's a literacy class. If you can write and count, you don't need to go."

"But this slave girl doesn't know many words..." Chuntao whispered.

She studied with the young lady for several years when she was in Yan's family, but because pen and ink were expensive and she had to serve the young lady, she didn't have much time to practice, so she only wrote down some.

Now the lady has shown mercy and asked the master to give lessons to the long-term workers and slaves. She does not want to miss such an opportunity.

Madam's employment is not limited to men and women. Manager Wu's daughter is a woman. Just because she is literate, Madam sent her to be the shopkeeper of Maocai shop.

Although she didn't want to be a shopkeeper, she wanted to be the most useful person around her, not just a maid who took care of her daily life.
