Chapter 489

He Zhiran suddenly thought of what her sister-in-law had just said, that the two babies were heaven's blessing to the Mo Family.

Since this was the case, why not use the word "blessing" to name the children?

After thinking for a moment, she spoke: "Since everyone feels that Zhu and Mingzhu are heaven's blessings, why don't we call Zhu Tianci!

As for Mingzhu, let's call her Jing'en."

Tianci did not need much explanation, it was literal in meaning, he was the treasure that heaven had bestowed upon the Mo Family.

The dispute over Jing'en was a little bigger.

"Sister-in-law, why is she called Jing'en?" the second sister-in-law asked.

"Jing refers to a woman's slender figure, graceful demeanor, and also means talent and brilliance. I hope Mingzhu will grow up to be a beautiful, graceful and talented woman.

The En character combined with Zhu's Ci character means that these two siblings fully embody the meaning of heaven's blessings." He Zhiran explained the reason for the names.

Hearing her explanation, everyone praised:

"Ninth Sister-in-Law is really knowledgeable, the names she picked for the babies are meaningful and pleasant sounding."

"That's right, Tianci, heaven's blessing, Jing'en, beautiful, graceful and brilliant."

The sisters-in-law kept praising the good names the two babies were given, and Old Lady Mo also highly approved.

"Good names, Zhu will be called Tianci, and Mingzhu will be called Jing'en. Tomorrow when your eighth brother gets promoted, have him help register these little ones in the household register."

Although He Zhiran had come up with the names for the twins on the spur of the moment, she was very satisfied with them herself. Her children didn't need extravagant names, as long as the meaning was good and they were pleasing to say.

After the one month celebration banquet, of course the guests and hosts had a delightful time. As people gradually left, it was finally Tang Mingrui's time to lead.

During the meal, others were praising how delicious the corn was, while he alone thought differently, pondering over matters of cooperating with the Mo Family corn business.

Although Meng Huaining was not as exaggerated as Tang Mingrui, he too had been thinking about the corn for a long time.

Now that He Zhiran was out of postpartum confinement, business matters were naturally handled by her, since Mo Jiuyue did not have a wife's skills and brains.

After laughing for a while, He Zhiran spoke: "Rest assured, we won't go back on a promise."

Seeing He Zhiran say this, the two almost simultaneously stood up and cupped their fists, "Then thank you Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-law."

"We plan to personally take people to harvest the corn tomorrow. The price will be determined after the yield per mu is finalized, don't be impatient.

Besides, whether corn is used for seeds or ground into cornmeal, it needs to be dried before it can be processed. Fresh corn can only make a limited variety of foods.

For example, the puffed corn and one pot dish eaten today use fresh corn..."

At this time, Meng Huaining and Tang Mingrui simply could not listen to He Zhiran's explanation. All they wanted to know was when they could buy the corn produced by the Mo family.

Especially Tang Mingrui, his eyes were full of the endless business opportunities corn would create. The sooner he got it, the sooner he could earn silver.

"Ninth sister-in-law, how long does it take to dry the corn?"

For this yield per mu, it was normally calculated based on the weight of the dried, shelled corn.

Especially since the Mo family corn had not been harvested yet, He Zhiran really could not estimate it.

However, based on the harvests in the space, the yield per mu of dried corn could reach 1,800 catties.

But that was after all the space, growing it outside, He Zhiran did not dare guarantee such a high yield.

In order to give Meng Huaining some peace of mind, after thinking for a moment, He Zhiran said: "If I estimate correctly, the corn yield per mu should be between 1,300 and 1,500 catties."

"What? Ninth sister-in-law, you said the corn yield per mu can reach 1,300 to 1,500 catties?"

Meng Huaining was no longer calm, he excitedly stood up, his words shaking.

It must be known that the government's purpose in buying corn seeds was for the common people to be able to grow high-yielding grain crops.

Even if the common people planted a lot of corn, with their frugal nature, they would not casually use it to make things like puffed corn and one pot dish like the Mo family did. Most people would choose to grind it into cornmeal to serve as the staple for their family.
