Chapter 84 – The First Batch of Sweet Potatoes Ripens

Although Wei Jin Yi did not respond, in his heart, he recognized Xiao Bei’s statement.

She really likes him as a brother, if one day if she if she knows that he actually …… do not know whether it will be sad.

Xiao Bei couldn’t help but ask again, “Young Master, are we really going to the Huzhou Mansion? If we go to the Huzhou Mansion, we won’t be able to see Missy anymore.”

“Going.” Wei Jin’s mind was also made up.

Some things others are not convenient to do in the Wei House, out of the outside to let go.

Seeing Wei Jin Yi’s transformation, Xiao Bei’s heart was both happy and worried, young master he has been avoiding those people all these years, now that he has changed his mind, I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.

###

After a few more days, there was a reply from Huzhoufu, the letter of recommendation from Duke Wo right was working well, and Hidden Forest Juror planned to meet Wei Jin Yi in person.

So Wei Jin was also ready to leave for Huzhoufu.

Wei Mingting personally instructed Yun to prepare the luggage and horses for Wei Jinyi to ensure that Wei Jinyi had a worry-free journey.

Yun’s self is not dare to neglect, just how much heart some loss, the House has been nothing in the existence of the second young master to get this opportunity to worship master Zanglin Jushi, and has been praised by Mr. fellow students of her first son, but can only continue to stay in this Xingshan County, looking for the next opportunity.

When Wei Jin Yi went out, Wei Ruo didn’t go to see him off, but just prepared a box of traveling gifts for Wei Jin Yi and gave it to Xiao Bei the day before.

After Wei Jin Yi left, Wei Ruo sat in the courtyard, one hand resting on her chin, and unconsciously sighed:

“Suddenly it doesn’t feel like I’ve made a very wise decision, I’ve only got one person left in the house to talk to, and with this departure, it feels even colder.”

Xiu Mei said, “Miss, this is something I can’t do anything about, it’s a decision you made yourself, if you really feel bored, then I’ll just delegate a little bit, and talk with you more every day.”

“Good Meimei, don’t be jealous of my second brother, you’re the most important, you’re the one who talks to me the most, I can do without anyone, just not without you.” Wei Ruo was busy explaining.

Xiu Mei was amused by Wei Ruo and giggled, “Alright alright miss you’re not hungry again wanting me to go and make you something delicious right?”

“No no, all sincerity, no tricks.” Wei Ruo said with a smile.

The time has come to the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the weather has turned cooler.

The first day of August was a cloudy day, and the mood of the people was like the weather on that day.

There is no other reason, just because this year’s rice growth is not good, rice ears less grain is not full, there are a lot of empty shells, do not have to wait until the rice is ripe can be predicted this year’s food situation.

Meanwhile the sweet potato harvest has come in at Koyosan.

In contrast to the sadness of the other estates, Xiaoyang Mountain was overflowing with the joy of a good harvest.

Hired long laborers turn over the land, dig up the sweet potatoes, and carry them down the hill by the load.

The long-time workers and short-time farmers on other nearby farms all stretched their necks and looked around when they saw it.

In fact, they’d been curious about sweet potatoes since they started growing them on Little Yangshan.

Later they sold some vine leaves, which the crowd probably knew was a new crop that could be eaten.

But planting such a mountain seems a bit worthless if you’re just selling some leaves.

Today, when I saw the long workers on the mountain carrying load after load of sweet potatoes down the hill, I realized that these plants mainly eat the tubers in the soil.

I don’t know if the reddish chunks are any good.

Most of the sweet potatoes from the first batch of digging were sent to warehouses, and only a very small portion was sent to the market for sale.

Looking at this year, it is more important to store food than silver.

Of course Wei Ruo still need to sell part of the sweet potatoes to exchange some liquidity, but this is not in a hurry, but also need to wait for the next few batches of sweet potatoes all dug out, assess the total production before deciding how much to sell.

Nowadays, we will only sell some in small quantities first, which is considered to be a promotion for this new type of crop, and make a preparation for the subsequent sale of large quantities.

At the market, a charcoal grill is set up next to a stall selling sweet potatoes, which are roasted on it.

Soon, the baked sweet potatoes gave off a tantalizing food aroma, attracting many people to stop and ask questions.

Having had the endorsement of sweet potato vine leaves and dried sweet potatoes before, everyone already had some knowledge of sweet potatoes as a crop, knowing that it was edible and tasted pretty good.

The selling price of baked sweet potatoes is not too expensive or too cheap, five cents a piece.

But this year, everyone can already foresee that the grain is going to be in short supply, and the price of grain in the rice store is already rising, so when you think about it, this price of sweet potatoes is considered conscientious.

After the first person bought the product and tasted it on the spot, it sold out in no time.

Many people wanted to buy more, but the baked sweet potato stall had already closed and those who wanted it would have to come back another day.

In the Listening Pine Garden, Wei Ruo was in an extremely good mood.

Xiu Mei was also happy, every time the crops were harvested, Miss’s mood was so good. If there were crops ripening every day, then Miss would probably be so happy every day.

What Xiu Mei doesn’t know is that Wei Ruo is happy not only because of the sweet potato harvest on Xiaoyang Mountain, but also because her own sweet potatoes planted in the yard have also matured.

Although it couldn’t be compared to the ones over at Xiaoyang Mountain in terms of quantity, it was something Wei Ruo had personally planted and could gain experience value.

Originally, there was only one hundred experience values left to go before the one thousand experience values for the space to be upgraded to the third level, and with this collection, he directly gained two hundred experience values, and the space was successfully upgraded to the third level.

Not only is there one more piece of land in the space that can be cultivated, well unlock a new space plant, the shiitake mushroom mycelium.

The first thing Wei Ruo did after the space upgrade was to plant on the space’s land, which could grow anything and didn’t require her to additionally treat the soil and environment.

Even if growing shiitake mushrooms requires completely different environmental factors than growing regular plants, it is possible to do so on land in space.

In addition to this Wei Ruo also wants to carry out the cultivation of shiitake mushrooms in the outside world, which is a much more complicated situation, requiring the preparation of planting materials and a suitable environment for cultivation.

Growing mushrooms under current conditions has several advantages: first of all, the growth cycle of this stuff is very short, in the right temperature and air humidity, it grows in a week’s time.

Secondly, this thing does not need to be planted into the ground, does not take up land resources, in Xingshan County land resources are very limited, even if now there are more wasteland in the south of the city, the per capita area of arable land is still not rich.

The last point that made Wei Ruo happy was that Xing Shan County was mountainous, and there were quite a few caves on the mountains, and the last time she went to the Xie Family’s Special Courtyard she discovered quite a few natural caves formed on the mountains in that neighborhood.

If the cave has the right humidity and temperature, it will be a natural mushroom culture room.
