Chapter 164 – Father’s Promotion Again

After coaxing Chen Ah Qing, Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei went back to Tian Qin Yuan.

Wei Ruo was in her room with a pen and paper calculating and plotting the next steps, Drunken Immortal Residence’s consumption of seasonings was even greater than her marinade store, she needed more raw materials and a workshop that could steadily produce seasonings.

Purchase raw materials, transportation, set up workshops these for Wei Ruo is not completely new to the field, that thirteen years Wei Ruo has not less accumulated experience in this area, or not open out the four treasures of this store.

In terms of purchasing raw materials, normally, considering the cost of transportation, Wei Ruo would prioritize the distance to some of the raw material origins, but due to the fact that the current application of these spices are not popular enough, the people who grow the spices are relatively small, and a lot of the spices are wild, so for the time being, Wei Ruo can only go to the location where she had picked up her previous spices to make a large amount of purchases, and it will be a little bit higher in terms of the cost.

But at the price she’d negotiated with Boss Van, the cost was no problem.

Later, if sales expand further, she will consider freeing up some land for the cultivation of raw materials such as cloves, cardamom and cinnamon.

In terms of delivery, when the old Tao who was responsible for the land transportation shipment came in a couple of days, she would give her list to the old Tao and let the old Tao make a run for it, the raw materials that she had used to make the five spice powder and the previous hot pot base were the raw materials that the old Tao had helped her to buy.

As for the production of oyster sauce raw materials oysters, on the contrary, is relatively good to get, Taizhou Province by the sea, this thing as long as the sea is good to do.

It’s just that at the moment, due to the Japanese problem, the oysters will be less stable, or the same problem, if the sales volume goes up, Wei Ruo will consider doing farming, so that it can save costs and also stabilize the supply.

The premise is that it has to be backed up by sizable sales, otherwise it’s not very effective to do so.

Soybeans are grown more in the north, and Wei Ruo would ask for Daqiu, the ship runner.

Lao Tao and Da Qiu are people Wei Ruo has known and worked with for a long time, and their character is reliable.

In addition to the supply of raw materials, Wei Ruo also needed to choose a site, she still had some empty land on the manor in the Prefecture, which could be used to build into a small workshop.

A small workshop does not need to be large at first, but make sure you pick a few that are solid and have the right attitude.

She would have to visit the manor more often when she had time, and if there were any suitable ones, she would pick them out to work in the workshop.

###

Wei Ruo stayed in the Prefecture until Xu Ji’s marinade store reopened, and then returned to Xing Shan County.

I just got home and heard the good news about the Wei family.

The paperwork for Wei Mingting’s promotion to a posting had arrived, and he was promoted to deputy garrison, and would assist the garrison of Taizhou Province in charge of the entire anti-Japanese army in Taizhou Province.

His rank was also raised from the sixth rank of Lieutenant Zhongxian to the sixth rank of Lieutenant Zhaoshin.

But in just half a year’s time, he had risen two levels in a row!

This kind of honor is not rare, so it can be seen that Wei Mingting really performed outstandingly in the matter of fighting against Japanese.

Because of this good news the lieutenant’s house was immersed in a state of rejoicing.

It felt like happiness and excitement were on the faces of every underling who passed by.

Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei passed through the crowd in an uneventful manner, returned to Wangmei Yuan, and then did what they had to do.

Won the battle, will get the commendation is a long time to be able to anticipate things, although once again promoted this thing is indeed still a little unexpected, before everyone thought half a year just promoted once, now again promoted may be a little inappropriate.

However, it was proved that the court still attached great importance to the matter of fighting against the Japanese and lacked the talents to fight against the Japanese, so the generals and leaders who were meritorious in fighting against the Japanese were not stingy in awards and promotions.

The biggest impact on Wei Ruo at the moment would be the issue of moving.

I have just received the news that due to Wei Mingting’s promotion to the sixth rank and the fact that the army to be governed in the future will change from the anti-Japanese army deployed in Xingshan County to the anti-Japanese army along the entire coast of Taizhou Prefecture, Wei Mingting’s residence will be moved from Xingshan County to the Prefectural City.

The whole house is now busy with this.

This thing Wei Ruo can not hide lazy, because Wei Ruo’s things are not less than others, not to mention that she originally brought over from the Huzhou Mansion, just this half of the time, has saved a lot of things, her private small coffers stuffed full, when the time comes to load a car a car simply can not be loaded.

Wei Ruo was still quite happy about this move, although there were many of her industries in Xingshan County, they had already stabilized and functioned, and now the Prefecture’s side of the city was the one that needed her more.

Moving the Wei Mansion to the Prefecture would facilitate her next move to a great extent.

In the evening after Wei Ruo and the crowd had dinner in the dining hall, Yun talked to the crowd about moving.

Yun specifically inquired about Wei Ruo: “Ruo’er has been in the Prefecture City for the past few days, and is still not clear about the situation at home in the past few days, my mother is telling you that your father will be transferred to the Prefecture City, the appointment letter has already come down, and the transfer is very urgent so we also need to pack up as soon as possible, and follow your father to move to a new place of residence in the Prefecture City.”

Since the Japanese problem had been infesting Taizhou Province, the transfer of military officials was urgent.

However, it can also be seen that Wei Mingting’s ability is recognized by the people above him, and that is why he is so eager to transfer him to the capital city, so that he can assist the guards to oversee the entire Taizhou Province’s anti-Japanese army.

“Well, I’ll pack my things as soon as I can.” Wei Ruo said back.

“Well, it’s best to let Mother know in advance so that she can prepare the carriage in advance.” Yun said.

“Good.”

Yun continued, “The Prefecture City side, Ruo’er you than the family’s father and brother siblings to understand some more, and so go there, if there is something, Ruo’er still need to help siblings some more.”

“Uh-huh.” Wei Ruoshang agreed with a smile.

Wei Yi Lin posed the question, “Mother, what about me? I’m still practicing martial arts with my master! I can’t give up halfway!”

Yun said, “Silly child, there are martial arts masters in the Prefecture City as well, and the masters in the Prefecture City are more powerful than the ones in Xing Shan County.”

“Really?”

“Of course it’s true, ask your father if you don’t believe me.”

Wei Mingting nodded.

Having received Wei Mingting’s affirmative answer, Wei Yi Lin’s little face was filled with a look of joy and anticipation.

“Great, then I’ll be able to become even more powerful! By then, my current senior brothers won’t be able to beat him!” Wei Yi Lin was already imagining what would happen afterward.

“You learn well, my father will hire the best martial arts teacher for you in the Prefecture City.” Wei Mingting said to Wei Yi Lin.

“Good! Father, I will learn well!” Wei Yi Lin replied firmly.

Looking at his lively, cheerful and thoughtful appearance, Wei Mingting and Yun’s faces couldn’t help but reveal a pleased smile.

This kid has really changed a lot within the last while.

Wei Qingwan took Wei Yi Lin’s joyful appearance into her eyes and couldn’t help but lower her head.

She wasn’t as sad and upset about her brother leaving as she thought she would be, but instead lived a happy and joyful life.
