Chapter 195 I'm just looking for money.
"Is my physical condition okay?" Zhu Zongyu asked.
"Just tell me if you can't walk. As long as you do what you can and don't hold on, it'll be fine." Wei Ruo replied.
"Okay."
So Wei Ruo stood up and took Zhu Zongyu towards the farmland in Zhuangzi.
The path beside the field was fairly flat, Wei Ruo's pace was not fast, and Zhu Zongyu could barely keep up in his current situation.
Zhu Zongyu looked at the vast fields and the scattered people busy in the fields, and then looked at the people walking in front of him.
I don't know why, but I feel particularly calm.
It's not like Zhu Zongyu has never seen farmland and farmers working there before, but in the past it was from a bird's-eye view. Today, with Mr. Xu, it's a different viewing angle.
Everyone I met along the way greeted Wei Ruo proactively and enthusiastically, calling "Boss" with a smile on their face.
Just by listening to their voices, Zhu Zongyu could feel the status of this club in their hearts.
Among them was a woman sitting on the field ridge holding a two or three-year-old child, while her husband was busy in the field next to her.
The man's hands were red from the cold, and his nose was also red. He kept exhaling white breath from his mouth, but with a smile on his face, he looked back at his wife and children behind him from time to time.
When Wei Ruo approached, the man stopped and bowed to Wei Ruo: "My boss."
The little boy in the woman's arms also smiled at Wei Ruo and shouted childishly: "Good boss."
His voice was soft and waxy. Yes, some of those little rosy faces are indescribably cute.
Such a smile was so contagious that not only Wei Ruo but also Zhu Zongyu could not help but soften his eyes when he saw it.
Not only that, Zhu Zongyu also discovered that the little boy and the couple did not show any expressions of fear when they saw him with a bandage on his face.
He knew that this was probably because he was following Mr. Xu. Out of their trust in Mr. Xu, they naturally believed that he, a stranger dressed in a scary way, was not a bad person.
Wei Ruo walked up to the little boy and gave him a piece of dried sweet potato.
The little boy took the dried sweet potato and was reluctant to eat it himself. He stuffed it into his mother's mouth first.
The mother stuffed the dried sweet potatoes back into the little boy's mouth and said with a smile that she didn't want to eat them.
Then the little boy started nibbling in small mouthfuls.
Wei Ruo smiled, stuffed two more pieces of dried sweet potatoes into the boy's mother's hands, then turned around and continued walking.
When Zhu Zongyu saw Wei Ruo's smile, he felt that his smile was warmer than that of the little boy.
Zhu Zongyu followed slowly: "I heard Manager Yu say a few days ago that you protected them and allowed them to survive this particularly cold winter. Today I saw it with my own eyes. It's true." "I'm not that great. I'm a hired man
. They, they have to work for me. If they are lazy, I will drive them away mercilessly. We each get what we need, and I am not doing a good deed." Wei Ruo replied.
"But you are more capable than ordinary people and more willing to help people in need. If you only have ideas but no ability, in my opinion, you are a mediocre person; if you have the ability but do not have the heart, then you are a person like Boss Fan , and Mr. Xu is both." Zhu Zongyu commented on Wei Ruo.
"Master Zhu thinks too well of me. I just love money and only think about how to maximize my profits. Boss Fan and I are the same type of people." Wei Ruo said.
"If Mr. Xu only loved money, he wouldn't have saved me." Zhu Zongyu was very sure of his judgment.
"Maybe I was betting that you were a rich man and that I could get a good profit by rescuing you. But the facts have proved that I was right." Wei Ruo replied.
"Why did Mr. Xu deliberately discredit himself? You are not just someone who wants to make money." Zhu Zongyu said firmly.
"Whatever you think." It doesn't matter how this man looks at her. Anyway, after he recovers from his injury, there will be no relationship between them.
两人又走了一会儿，空气中飘过来一阵阵的并不怎么好闻的味道。
“他们在做什么？”朱宗誉询问道。
“在给土壤施肥，现在这个时间大部分的农事都停了，不过可以做些改良土壤的事情，等到来年春天播种的时候就有机会丰收了。”魏若解释道。
“什么肥？”
“农家肥，还有一些瓜果蔬菜秸秆草木腐烂后的混合物。”魏若解释道，知道朱宗誉是因为这味道不好闻，于是补充道，“对他们而言这些发出恶臭的东西却是生命的希望，从腐烂到新生。”
“从腐烂到新生……”朱宗誉若有所思道。
魏若笑笑，继续领着朱宗誉走了一会儿。
因为考虑到朱宗誉的身体状况，魏若并未走太久，两刻钟后就带他回到了居住的小屋。
而后余管事端来了今日的药。
闻着药的苦味，朱宗誉看向魏若：“许公子，可还有刚才给那个小男孩的东西。”
“你是说红薯干？”
“对，那个应该很甜，我想喝完药后尝一尝。”
“可以。”
魏若大方地从袋子里拿出了一块红薯干，放在了朱宗誉的药碗旁边。
朱宗誉然后端起药碗，小口小口地喝了下去。
倒不是他怕苦喝得慢，是他脸上有伤，没法有大幅度的动作。
等把药喝完，他便将红薯干放到嘴边，咬了一小口。
“果然很香甜。”朱宗誉的表情看起来很满意。
魏若看他这个样子，就干脆多给了他两块。
朱宗誉则掏出一两碎银子放在桌上：“既然许公子是图财的，也不好让许公子违背了自己做事的宗旨。”
Of course Wei Ruo took the money without any courtesy.
If you don’t make money, you’re a bastard!
###
After the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, classes will be completely suspended, and Mr. Wang Caiwei will leave early to return to her hometown to celebrate the New Year.
Xu Tongzhi's family is in the same situation. School is suspended, and the ladies from each family are free. They stop to help the family prepare for the New Year.
Girls aged 12 or 13 have to start learning from their mistress about how to manage their children. There is especially a lot to learn during the Chinese New Year.
But Wei Ruo didn't plan to learn this from Yun's family, not to mention that these days are the busy time for braised food shops, because many people are preparing for New Year's goods and New Year's Eve dinner, and they will buy some braised food in advance.
Wei Ruo launched braised duck products on the basis of the original: braised duck neck, braised duck wings, braised duck legs.
Now the sales of braised duck products are even better than the original sales of braised pork, with twenty or thirty ducks sold a day. For this reason, it is not stable enough to go to the vegetable market every morning to buy ducks.
In order to find suitable duck supply channels, Wei Ruo traveled throughout the countryside near Fucheng in the past few days, and after some contacts and negotiations, he temporarily decided on a few places as duck suppliers.
