Xue Bai and Prince Shou were almost a month old, yet he had not seen them once.
“You don’t have to go. She’s recovering very well and is starting to move around. She’s still not allowed to leave the room yet. She’s still holed up in the room for the time being. You have to pay attention to Xiao. She bled heavily during the birth and was told to recuperate for a long time. When you go to see Shou, ask Zicui and the others to carry her out for you to see. Make sure to stay quiet.” Liu Guixia warned.
“Yes, Mother.” Xue Sifu smiled and agreed. “I’ve also brought them all their one-month-old gifts. I won’t be coming back when they’re one month old.” Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.
“Are you that busy?” Xue Dafu frowned and stopped eating. “It’s fine if you’re busy. We can’t persuade you to stay anyway, but you have to take care of your body. Good thing you didn’t lose weight. Otherwise, your mother and I would make you stay home. You shouldn’t be skimming on your meals, understand?” “Yes, yes.” Liu Guixia echoed.
“Don’t worry. I’ve always done everything properly since I was young. I know how to take care of myself. It’s not like you guys don’t know that.” Xue Sifu laughed.
“That’s true, that’s true.” Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia immediately laughed when they heard that. They were relieved. They had always been most at ease with their son.
Xue Sifu then looked at the two children and smiled. “About the workshop…
The blueprints are with you, right? Can you pa.s.s it to me later? Many places in Yiran are suitable for this workshop, and they are all quite far from our Locust Village. If I were to open a shop in those places, it would be better to build a workshop around there too. The capital would be much lower. If I were to use a carriage to send the rice noodles over to sell, it would cost too much.”
During this period, other than buying some orphans to teach, he had also scouted around Yiran and had already determined which places were suitable for building workshops.
Even Xue Dafu knew that Xue Sifu could not be persuaded, so Jiang Yue and
Xue Yan kept quiet.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded.
“You already have the blueprints,” Xue Erfu asked. “Aren’t you going to let me do the wheel and husker?”
Xue Sifu smiled and said, “If I were to make it for Yifu, it would take a few days for the carriage to arrive. Moreover, some things can’t be delivered by carriage because they’re too big. Besides, Yifu is alone. How can he make so many things that the workshop needs? 1 need the blueprint to ask the local carpenters to do it according to the blueprint. Let a few more carpenters do it. Those carpenters all have apprentices. They’re not that bad. I reckon it won’t take long for them to finish everything. When the time comes, they would also hire local people to build the workshop. Even if we want to hire people from our villages, 1 don’t think many of them are willing to go that far. They already think it’s very far in the county.”
Xue Erfu laughed. “If the shops are open, we probably won’t be able to go on the opening day.”
Liu Guixia smiled. “If we can’t go, then so be it. It’ll all be the same. We just have to go to the shops in town and county. But Sifu, Sanfu’s wedding date has already been decided..”
