After knowing what to cook, the three of them got busy. Around noon, the scrumptious dishes were served.

Especially the dish filled with bacon and hemp vegetables. It was salty, fragrant, and very tempting just after smelling it.

Gu Wanning couldn’t help but eat one as soon as it was out of the pot.

However, Widow Wu’s heart ached as she looked at the oil can. Head Fang had found this piece of suet with great difficulty. She hadn’t expected…

After Zhou Ying saw her expression, she just smiled and did not take it to heart.

When treating a guest to a meal, she had to let the guest eat comfortably. Otherwise, she might as well not treat them.

As for the oil, she could just go out and buy a pig in the afternoon or even take some out of her interspace.

Sure enough, Chen He and the other two ate well and were extremely satisfied.

Zhou Ying couldn’t even eat her fill. In the end, she could only take two buns from her interspace to eat.

After the meal, they rested briefly before Widow Wu and Gu Wanning went to the shed to help.

On the other hand, Zhou Ying took Head Fang and went out to collect the pigs with an ox cart. After driving for an entire afternoon, they finally bought a pig that weighed more than 100 pounds in one of the villages.

On the way back, Zhou Ying asked, “Uncle Fang, do you have a successor in this manor?”

“Mrs. Zhou, um, what do you mean by that?” Head Fang was stunned for a moment before he turned his head and asked nervously.

“Have you heard that we bought another manor?”

“I heard, but that place…

“I heard it’s a place that can’t grow anything.”

“As long as it can grow grass, it will be fine. Our idea is that that place will mainly engage in livestock farming and plant some fruits and vegetables for the restaurant to use in the future.

“I noticed that you’re familiar with the surrounding manors, so I want you to go over and give it a try at managing our manor.

“As for this manor, it’s already stable. As long as someone is keeping an eye on it, it will be fine as long as nothing goes wrong.

“Of course, I won’t force you if you’re unwilling.”

Head Fang went silent for a moment after hearing this. Ultimately, he nodded and replied, “I’ll listen to Madam’s arrangements. As long as you think I can take over the new manor, I’ll go over.”

To be honest, anyone literate and stern enough could manage the current manor other than growing vegetables and farming crops.

However, it was different in the new manor.

From Zhou Ying’s words, the stuff they were planning for the new manor would be their restaurant’s main source of income. Even selling the livestock elsewhere would earn them a lot of money, which would also increase his value.

“Alright, we can only start after spring. If there’s no suitable person to take over your position, quickly train one. After spring, we will need to go over there and build some houses, cattle pens, sheep pens, and so on.”

“I understand. My eldest son has been managing the manor with me. Do you think he can do it?”

“Whether he can do it or not, it depends on his capabilities. Let him manage it for some time and give him more practice.”

“Alright. I’ll start making arrangements when I get back.”

Later, Zhou Ying asked him about the situation in the nearby manors. She was a little surprised when she learned that all the surrounding manors belonged to officials.

What surprised her was that a manor under Yang Chenglin’s name specialized in farming. However, the head of the manor had been a little dishonest in the past two days and had been selling their stuff.

After returning home, Zhou Ying ordered her help to slaughter the pigs as soon as possible. She then personally treated everyone in the manor to a meal of pork and vegetables.

She later asked Head Fang to sell a portion of the meat to the people in the manor at a fair price.

In the end, only two plates of pork ribs and a piece of suet were left. She handed them over to Widow Wu.

After everyone left, Zhou Ying told Gu Wanning about the situation of the manor under Yang Chenglin’s name and said, “In my opinion, you should hurry up and deal with it. At least, you should get rid of Mrs. Cui’s men.

“Otherwise, it would be difficult to take it back from them after they ruin it..’
