vital resource for boiling water and cooking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wasteland reclamation project produced a substantial amount of firewood, sufficient for their families to use for two to three months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deciding to distribute it equally at the end of the project seemed like a practical approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>City workers accustomed to short-term jobs might not be adept at reclamation work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Songshi, well-versed in the process, took the time to explain to Lu Qian, Liu Fu, and others the importance of overseeing the hired workers, cautioning them against injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, they needed to ensure that workers dug out all underground roots during reclamation, preventing potential issues with wild grass and bushes growing in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Motivated and in high spirits, Liu Fu, with Lu Qian accompanying him, took charge of controlling the 40 hired workers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of favorable weather, they swiftly initiated the project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, they focused on cutting down trees, shrubs, and grass, piling them together for later use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After preparing the firewood, they segregated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining unwanted materials, such as grass, leaves, and miscellaneous items, were set ablaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the ground cleared, they proceeded to dig and clean up roots and grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the workers’ lack of farming experience, the initial days were marked by chaos and numerous issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the employees, enticed by the generous salary, were willing to learn and adapt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collaborating with Songshi and Liu Fu, Qiao Xuan drew a map, designating an area for building a courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The envisioned courtyard would include spaces for a farming room, warehouse, fruit-drying area, fruit-processing workshop, duty dormitory, and a small kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each space was to encompass around three mu of empty land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, since the two locations were approximately seven to eight miles apart, Qiao Xuan instructed Songshi to assess the terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the cultivation was complete, she planned to construct a better road to connect the two areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Songshi and Liu Fu duly took note of the directive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On another front, Qiao Xuan tasked Sun Bai and Sun Qian with inquiring about peppers and star anise trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She aimed to procure according to the demand for 10,000 mu each, acknowledging that obtaining such quantities might prove challenging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Yuzhang lacked these crops, she had to search for them in Anze Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While cultivating them initially might pose a challenge, Qiao Xuan speculated that once she found the saplings, she could potentially propagate them using branches in her space, allowing for an expansion in numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the span of seven to eight days, Qiao Xuan’s recovery period concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her idle moments, she strolled through the garden, observing it nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the last incident involving the young master, Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan seemed to have learned her lesson, as Qiao Xuan no longer encountered him in the garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief reflection, Qiao Xuan asked Lixia and Liqiu, “I’ve been recuperating for the past few days, so it seems appropriate for each family to pay a visit, right?” Understanding the significance of basic social interactions as the wife of the Prefect, Qiao Xuan, being cautious about her health, intended to visit the affluent families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she couldn’t personally attend, she planned to send high-ranking maids and servants to extend her regards with invitations.\u003C\u002Fp>",549,"2026-06-03T12:01:10.139Z","2026-06-03T12:01:10.533Z",1,"novelbin.me","22ae3175241aa2d93a0ab7cd5b860b7683f017d9a5c9a651db9b31e47df8996d","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1681","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1679",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
