Chapter 259 – The Winter Wheat Harvest

Some days ago she had promised Xu Zhengyong that she would prepare medicinal herbs for him, but in reality, apart from the medicines produced by the medicine field she and Xie Yingying operated together in Xingshan County, none of the other medicinal herbs were available.

On the other hand, only four basic herbs that were relatively lacking in injury medicine were planted on the piece of medicinal field that she and Xie Yingying operated together, and they were still relatively good to grow.

Xiu Mei nodded her head, “That’s what Guard Wells said, and also said that some medicines have already been stored over there for Miss.”

“That’s great!” Wei Ruo couldn’t hide her joy.

Xiu Mei is also very happy: “The second young master is really considerate, even if people are not in Taizhou House, it is as if he has a telepathic link with the young lady can think of the young lady’s difficulties, and help the young lady to solve the pressing problems.”

Wei Ruo thought for a moment before saying, “Turn around and ask the well guards if they can help me bring a letter to second brother.”

“Well, I’m going to get the Well Guard!”

And without waiting for the next time, Xiu Mei ran out immediately.

Wei Ruo then sat down at her desk, picked up a pen, and began to think about her reply letter to Wei Jin Yi.

Xiu Mei came back in no time, bringing back Well Tiger’s reply, “Guard Well said that he can give a reply, but it’s uncertain when it will reach the second young master.”

“It’s good to bring it.”

Wei Ruo also did not have any urgent matters and did not require how quickly it could be delivered.

So Wei Ruo sat in front of the bookcase and wrote for a while, she naturally will not be like Wei Jin Yi side stingy pen and ink, in a short while will be spilling three pages of paper.

Most of the things said are trivial things, the recent events with Wei Jin also said, in addition to their own slapped that slap thing, this Wei Ruo do not want Wei Jin also know.

After Wei Ruo put the written letter paper in an envelope, she asked Xiu Mei to take it to Jing Hu.

The winter wheat planted on Wei Ruo’s manor in the Prefecture was planted a few days later than the winter wheat in Xingshan County, so the harvest was a little later.

The harvest began and the manor was busy.

For several days in a row, everyone got up early in the morning, and the few barns that had been empty were soon all filled with wheat.

The happiness of the harvest overflowed to everyone in the croft.

Wei Ruo was naturally very happy as well, she just loved the feeling of grain filling up the warehouse.

Regardless of what happens to the rice production for the rest of the year, with this wave of wheat harvest, Wei Ruo’s manor can ensure that there will be no shortage of food by the end of the year.

Steward Yu was very excited and reported to Wei Ruo, “Miss, our wheat yield reached one thousand pounds per mu! I can’t believe it’s true! We can actually harvest 1,000 catties of wheat per acre!”

In previous years, although they planted rice on the farm, but also set aside a small portion of the land to plant a small amount of wheat, wheat production is mostly in the mu yield of three to five hundred pounds, if an acre of field can reach five hundred pounds, it has been a bumper harvest.

But today’s mu yield actually directly reaches one thousand pounds! This all made the people in the manor house dumbfounded.

In fact, before the harvest, we look at the grain full and large have more wheat ears when, has foreseen that this year’s crop of wheat will be very good, but no one thought that this can reach a thousand pounds of acreage.

Wei Ruo smiled, “The wheat seed used is better, it is carefully bred and improved, and the yield is really better than what people used to grow.” ….

These are all wheat seeds produced in her space, the quality of which is naturally not comparable to the original native wheat seeds.

Steward Yu still can’t help but be excited and happy: “Miss, according to this development, even if this year is still as bad as previous years, we don’t have to worry about food! We can also earn a lot of money!

“Collect all these wheat and don’t sell them outside for the time being,” Wei Ruo instructed. Wei Ruo urged.

”Don’t worry, Miss, without your word, we won’t touch the grain in the manor.” Steward Yu assured.

Wei Ruo nodded.

“There is also wheat harvested immediately after the arrangements for people to plow the land, chasing fertilizer, will we have already bred seedlings with rice paddies transplanted to the paddy field.” Wei Ruo said.

“Don’t worry, Miss. I’ve already ordered it. We won’t miss the rice planting.

of time.”

Yu steward work is still very let Wei Ruo assured, some things even if Wei Ruo did not command, Yu steward also know to account for the people under the hand to do.

Wei Ruo and Steward Yu were talking when an underling came to report that Boss Fan of the Drunken Immortal Residence was here.

“Is he here in person?” Wei Ruo asked.

“Yes, Boss Fan is right outside the door.” The subordinate replied.

Wei Ruo slightly doubt, usually Fan Chengxu want to see Wei Ruo are sent to invite Wei Ruo to the Drunken Immortal Residence, today how to personally come to the door?

After thinking for a moment, Wei Ruo said, “Invite the people in.”

“Yes.”

With Wei Ruo’s approval, the subordinate went outside and invited Fan Chengxu in.

Wei Ruo received Fan Chengxu in the courtyard, “Boss Fan, my place is simple, so I’ll have to ask you to meet with me in this courtyard.”

Saying so, Wei Ruo invited Fan Cheng Xu to take a seat at the stone table and poured him freshly brewed tea.

”I see that Mr. Xu’s place is not simple, but rather very elegant.” Fan Chengxu said.

“It can’t be compared to Boss Fan’s Drunken Immortal Residence.” Wei Ruo replied.

”I have heard that the wheat harvest on Mr. Xu’s manor was abundant, and the acreage yield was extremely high.” Fan Chengxu said.

Wei Ruo laughed: “Boss Fan, you’re too well-informed, aren’t you? I only just found out about the acreage on my estate, how come you already know about it?”

“I don’t know the exact number, just the people in the neighborhood are spreading the word that the wheat harvested from your manor is piled up into a small mountain, higher than the average family’s yield is not a star and a half.” Fan Chengxu said.

Wei Ruo smiled, forgetting to acquiesce.

After all, it was there for all to see, and there was no way to hide it, plus there was nothing to hide.

The smile on Fan Chengxu’s face intensified, “Mr. Xu, I wonder how well you’ve considered what I proposed last time?”

I don’t know if I can’t wait, or because I learned that Wei Ruo manor on the news of the winter wheat harvest more convinced that Wei Ruo has the ability to help improve his tea plantation, Fan Chengxu personally came to Wei Ruo’s manor to pursue this matter.

“There’s been a lot going on lately, so I haven’t really thought about it.” Wei Ruo replied.

“Then why don’t you think about it, right now.” Van Chengxu said with a smile.

“This matter is more complicated, I’m afraid that this moment, think not too clear.” Wei Ruo said.

“How complicated is it?” Fan Chengxu asked.

“Tea involves a wide range of factors that affect the flavor of tea is also very much, in addition to the varieties of tea, the growing environment, the year’s climate, the time of harvesting will affect the flavor of tea, and after the treatment of tea, baking process, and storage conditions will be affected, Fan boss only said that he wanted to find me to help me cooperate, but do not know the specific aspects of the cooperation?” Wei Ruo asked.
