Chapter 84 The First Batch of Sweet Potatoes Ripe
Although Wei Jinyi did not respond, he agreed with Xiaobei's statement in his heart.
She really likes him as a brother. If one day she knew that he was... I wonder if she would be sad.
Xiaobei couldn't help but ask: "Master, do we really want to go to Huzhou Mansion? If we go to Huzhou Mansion, we won't be able to see the eldest lady."
"We want to go." Wei Jin also made up his mind.
There are some things that are inconvenient for others to do in the Wei Mansion, and only when they are outside can they be free to do so.
Seeing Wei Jinyi's change, Xiaobei felt both happy and worried. The young master had been avoiding those people all these years, but now he has changed his mind. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
###
A few days later, there was a reply from Huzhou Prefecture. Mr. He You’s letter of recommendation was very useful. Zanglin layman planned to meet Wei Jinyi in person.
So Wei Jin was also ready to leave for Huzhou Prefecture.
Wei Mingting personally ordered Yun to prepare luggage, carriage and horses for Wei Jinyi to ensure that Wei Jinyi would have a worry-free journey.
Yun didn't dare to neglect her, but she felt a little disappointed. The second young master, who had always had no sense of presence in the family, got this opportunity to become a disciple of Zanglin layman, but her legitimate son, the eldest young master, who had always been praised by her husband's classmates, could only continue to stay. In this Xingshan County, I am looking for the next opportunity.
When Wei Jinyi went out, Wei Ruo did not go to see him off. He just prepared a box of wedding gifts for Wei Jinyi and gave them to Xiaobei the day before.
After Wei Jin also left, Wei Ruo sat in the yard, holding his chin with one hand, and sighed unconsciously:
"Suddenly I felt that my decision was not very wise. There is only one person in the family who can talk. This Once I left, I felt even more deserted."
Xiumei said: "Miss, I have no control over this matter. It is your own decision. If you really feel bored, then I will aggrieve you and talk to you more every day."
"Good Meimei, don't be jealous of my second brother. You are the most important. You are the person who talks to me the most. I can do without anyone but you." Wei Ruo explained hurriedly.
Xiumei was amused by Wei Ruo and giggled, "Okay, okay, Miss, you're not hungry again and want me to make something delicious for you?" "No, no, it's
all sincerity, no tricks. Wei Ruo said with a smile.

Time flies to the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the weather turns cooler.
It was a cloudy day on the first day of August, and the mood of the people was similar to the weather on that day.
There is no other reason than that this year's rice is not growing well. The grains in the ears are few and not full, and there are a lot of empty husks. You can predict this year's food situation without waiting for the rice to mature.
At the same time, the sweet potatoes in Xiaoyangshan also ushered in the harvest.
Compared with the gloom and gloom of other Zhuangzi, Xiaoyang Mountain is filled with the joy of harvest.
The hired workers plowed the land, dug out the sweet potatoes, and carried them down the mountain one by one.
Farmers with both long-term and short-term workers in other nearby villages craned their necks and looked around.
In fact, they were already curious when they started planting sweet potatoes on Xiaoyang Mountain.
Later, they sold some vine leaves, and everyone probably knew that this was a new crop and could be eaten.
But if you are just selling some leaves, planting such a mountain seems a bit unworthy.
Today I saw the long-term workers on the mountain carrying load after load of sweet potatoes down the mountain, and I realized that these plants mainly eat tubers in the soil. I don’t know if these red lumps are delicious.
Most of the first batch of sweet potatoes dug out were sent to the warehouse, and only a small part was sent to the market for sale.
Looking at the situation this year, saving food is more important than saving money.
Of course, Wei Ruo still needs to sell part of the sweet potatoes in exchange for some working capital, but there is no rush. He still needs to wait for the next few batches of sweet potatoes to be dug out, and then evaluate the total output before deciding how much to sell.
Now I only sell a small amount first, which is to promote this new type of crop and pave the way for subsequent large-scale sales.
At the market, a charcoal grill was set up next to a small stall selling sweet potatoes, and the sweet potatoes were roasted on it.
Soon, the roasted sweet potatoes gave off an alluring food aroma, attracting many people to stop and ask.
There have been endorsements of sweet potato vine leaves and dried sweet potato before. Everyone already has a certain understanding of sweet potato as a crop and knows that it is edible and tastes good.
The price of roasted sweet potatoes is neither expensive nor cheap, only five cents each.
But this year, everyone can already predict that the grain harvest will be poor, and the price of grain in rice shops has been rising. If you think about it this way, the price of sweet potatoes is considered a good deal.
After the first person bought it and tasted it on the spot and said it was delicious, the sales started quickly and they were all sold out in a short time.
Many people still want to buy more, but the roasted sweet potato stall has closed down, so those who want it will have to come back another day.

In Tingsongyuan, Wei Ruo was in a very good mood.
Xiumei was also happy. Every time the crops were harvested, the young lady's mood became extremely good. If crops were ripe every day, the young lady would probably be so happy every day.
What Xiumei didn't know was that Wei Ruo was not only happy because of the sweet potato harvest on Xiaoyang Mountain, but also because the sweet potatoes she planted in her yard had also matured.
Although the quantity is not comparable to that of Xiaoyang Mountain, Wei Ruo planted it himself and can gain experience points.
Originally, the space was only one hundred experience points away from the one thousand experience points required to upgrade the space to the third level. With this collection, two hundred experience points were directly gained, and the space was successfully upgraded to the third level.
Not only is there an extra piece of arable land in the space, it also unlocks a new space plant - shiitake mushroom mycelium.
After the space upgrade, Wei Ruo planted it on the land in the space immediately. Everything can be planted on the land in the space, and she does not need to deal with the soil and environment.
Even though the environmental factors required for growing shiitake mushrooms are completely different from those for growing ordinary plants, they can all be realized on land in space.
In addition, Wei Ruo also wants to grow mushrooms outside. This situation is much more complicated and requires preparation of planting materials and a suitable planting environment.
There are several advantages to growing mushrooms under the current conditions: First, the growth cycle of this thing is very short. Under suitable temperature and air humidity, it can grow in a week.
Secondly, this thing does not need to be planted in the ground and does not occupy land resources. Land resources are very limited in Xingshan County. Even if there is more wasteland in the south of the city, the per capita cultivated land area is still not rich.
The last thing that makes Wei Ruo happy is that Xingshan County is mountainous and there are many caves on the mountains. The last time she went to Xie Family Villa, she discovered that there were many natural caves formed in the nearby mountains.
If the humidity and temperature in the cave are suitable, it will be a natural mushroom cultivation room.
