Chapter 56： helped a lot

Chapter 56 was a great help

Wei Ruo's carriage went all the way north, and when it arrived near Mantou Mountain in the north of the city, the stewards here had already received orders from Yun's, and they were waiting early.

After Wei Ruo asked the manager to arrange for the long-term workers to replant the seedlings in the vacant area, he excused himself to walk around and left accompanied by Xiumei.

Along the way, Wei Ruo found that the rice fields here are not growing well, and there are still large areas of death.

The situation in some rice fields is more serious than that of the Wei family.

This is not a good sign. If this situation continues, this year's autumn harvest will be worrying.

The nanny had written to her earlier about the food situation in Xingshan County this year, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she realized that the situation was worse than she thought.

Wei Ruo brought Xiumei to Xiaoyang Mountain.

Most of the original barren hills have been planted with sweet potatoes, with green leaves all over the ground, and the growth is gratifying.

Now I still pick some vine leaves every day and sell them in the market.

The price of two pennies is very close to the people, whether it is wealthy or ordinary people, they can afford it.

Therefore, one car a day is not enough to sell.

Although the price of two pennies is not high, it can still be profitable.

For ordinary fruits and vegetables, Wei Ruo tends to make small profits but sell them quickly, and she tends to sell high prices for "luxury goods" aimed at the upper class.

Wei Ruo randomly selected a piece of land, dug up a corner, and checked the growth of sweet potatoes inside.

The sweet potatoes at this time have not yet grown to the optimal size. They are still a little small, only a small section like a little finger, which is far from the standard size for harvesting. However, it can be seen that the current growth condition is good, and there are no pests and diseases.

The seeds of Wei Ruo Space are all excellent species, which are excellent in resistance to diseases and insect pests, drought and waterlogging. And the growth rate is relatively fast among the same kind. It is estimated that in another month, all the sweet potatoes will be fully grown.

At that time, they can be sold one after another. Some of them are stored in the warehouse, and the remaining part of Wei Ruo intends to make dried sweet potatoes for preservation, and part of the dried sweet potatoes will be sold in preserved fruit shops.

During the Dragon Boat Festival trip, Wei Ruo took the opportunity to inspect several preserved fruit shops, and finally chose one, planning to cooperate with the other party to sell dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips in the other shop.

In this way, for Wei Ruo, the risk of opening a separate store for sales can be saved, and at the same time, it can also increase sales for itself with the help of the customer traffic that the preserved fruit store already has.

Wei Ruo stayed in Xiaoyang Mountain until the evening, and then returned to Wei's Mantou Mountain.

The seedling transplanting work is coming to an end, Wei Ruo glanced at it casually, got into the carriage and went back.

By the time Wei Ruo returned to Wei Mansion, it was past the usual time for dinner in Wei Mansion.

Wei Ruo came home late, and the Wei family didn't have a meal in advance. They waited until Wei Ruo came back before Yun informed the kitchen to arrange the dishes.

After dinner, when sitting together drinking tea, Yun asked Wei Ruo about the details of today.

"Ruo'er has really done a great job in the wasteland in the south of the city. My mother really didn't expect that Ruo'er could really improve and successfully grow crops. My mother underestimated Ruo'er before." Yun said with emotion.

"Yes." Wei Ruo replied in a low voice.

"Ruo'er, your decision to put the seedlings in the Mantou Mountain is also a great favor to the family. This year, the seedlings in everyone's fields have died to varying degrees. Our family is relatively good, and nearly half of them died. Before autumn, the food situation of this year can already be foreseen, the people in the city are worried, and the wives of the families I know can't help but worry about this matter."

The Zhongtian property has not been harvested year after year, and even some well-established families in Xingshan County may not be able to bear it.

The people of this large family are waiting to eat, and if they want to buy food every day, they don’t know how much money it will cost.

What's more, if everyone is short of food, the price of food will inevitably rise, and even if you want to buy food yourself, it will become very difficult.

Wei Ruo sipped tea, but didn't answer. What she was thinking now was that if she knew that everyone's seedlings were dead, she should have secretly sold the extra seedlings, and she should be able to sell them for a lot of money.

"What happened in the south of the city today, Ruo'er will tell Wei Niang in detail." Yun also wanted to hear Wei Ruo talk about the specific process.

"The seedlings are growing well, father and Master Qian both agree. There is also a son from the capital who wants to help, and will send someone over tomorrow." Wei Ruo replied lightly, everything was taken care of by her.

She doesn't want to mention Chu Lan's matter, and the person he sent will be at the mansion tomorrow, and with his status, it is impossible for Wei Mingting not to notify the mansion in advance.

"Your Excellency, do you want to help?" Yun asked in surprise.

Wei Qingwan also raised her head to look at Wei Ruo.

Now in Xingshan County, the only one who can be called a "noble man" by the Wei family is the young man in Jinyi who caught a glimpse on the street that day.

Although the identity of the nobleman has not been fully disclosed, the Wei family has already guessed seven or eight points based on the news from the capital.

"Well, he seems to be very concerned about the suffering of people's livelihood." Wei Ruo was very annoyed by Chu Lan, and didn't even want to talk about things related to her.

Wei Ruo spoke calmly, but the hearts of those who listened were turbulent.

"Yeah, it should be like this. Since the nobleman wants to help, then you should be more cautious." Yun immediately told Wei Ruo.

"I did my best when it comes to farming." Wei Ruo replied, but it wasn't for Chu Lan to see.

Yun said with some emotion: "I thought Wanwan and Ms. Qian would offend the nobleman after they bumped into the nobleman at Fahua Temple that day, but now it seems that the nobleman didn't take what happened that day to heart, on the contrary. Now, Ruo'er, the matter of you in the south of the city has caught the attention of the nobleman."

When Yun Shi said this, Wei Qingwan, who was beside her with her head slightly lowered, trembled.

These words were like a slap in the face to her.

Coupled with the comparison with Wei Ruo later, Wei Qingwan only felt that she was stepped on the ground.

Wei Ruo didn't really listen to what Yun said, this noble man was not expensive at all to her, she wished she could stay far away.

Wei Yilin pursed his mouth and glanced at Wei Ruo several times. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't really believe that Wei Ruo could make such a career.

Why would Wei Qingruo be able to do something that even sister Wanwan couldn't do? Sister Wanwan is so much better than her!

After dinner, Wei Qingwan felt like chewing wax.

She left Cangyun Garden with a sad and lonely mood.

When Wei Yichen saw her, he chased after her and asked, "What's wrong with Wanwan? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Brother, am I useless?" Wei Qingwan asked softly.

"Why does Wanwan ask like that?"
