Chapter 259 Winter Wheat Harvest
A few days ago, she promised Xu Zhengyong to prepare medicinal materials for him, but in fact, except for the medicine from the medicinal field that she and Xie Yingying managed together in Xingshan County, there were no other medicinal materials.
The medicine field that she and Xie Yingying run together has only planted four kinds of basic medicines for wound medicine that are relatively scarce, and they are relatively easy to grow.
Xiumei nodded: "That's what Jing Wei said, and he also said that some medicine has been stored for the young lady over there."
"Great!" Wei Ruo couldn't hide his joy.
Xiumei was also very happy: "Second young master is really thoughtful. Even if he is not in Taizhou, he seems to be able to think of Miss's difficulties and help her to solve her urgent needs as if she has a good understanding with Miss."
Wei Ruo thought for a while and said, "Go back and ask Guard Jing if you can bring me a letter to my second brother."
"Well, I'm going to find the well guard!"
Without waiting for the next time, Xiumei ran out immediately.
Wei Ruoze sat down at the desk, picked up a pen, and began to think about the reply to Wei Jinyi.
Xiumei came back after a while, and brought back Jing Hu's reply: "Guard Jing said, you can reply to the letter, but I'm not sure when it will be delivered to the second young master."
"As long as you can bring it."
Wei Ruo didn't have any urgent matters, so he didn't ask how soon it could be delivered.
So Wei Ruo sat in front of the desk and wrote for a while. Naturally, she would not be stingy with pen and ink like Wei Jinyi, and wrote three pages in a short while.
Most of the talks were trivial things, and he told Wei Jinyi about everything that happened recently, except for the slap in the face, which Wei Ruo didn't want Wei Jin to know.
Wei Ruo sealed the written letter in an envelope and asked Xiumei to give it to Jing Hu.

The winter wheat that Wei Ruo planted on Zhuangzi in Fucheng was a few days later than the winter wheat in Xingshan County, so the harvest time was also later.
The harvesting started, and everyone in Zhuangzi got busy.
For several days, everyone got up early and felt dark, and the barns that had been vacant were quickly filled with wheat.
The happiness of harvest permeates everyone in Zhuangzi.
Wei Ruo is naturally very happy, she likes the feeling of grain filling the warehouse.
No matter what happens to the rice production this year, with this wave of wheat harvest, Wei Ruo's Zhuangzi can ensure that there will be no shortage of food when this year reaches the end of the year.
Boss Yu reported to Wei Ruo very excitedly: "Miss, our wheat yield per mu has reached 1,000 catties! I can't believe it, this is actually true! One mu of land can harvest a thousand catties of wheat!"
In the past, although rice was the main crop on their farm, a small portion of the land would be set aside to grow a little wheat. The yield of wheat was mostly three to five hundred catties per mu. If one mu of land could reach five hundred catties, That would have been a bountiful harvest.
But today's yield per mu has actually reached one thousand catties! This made the people in Zhuangzi dumbfounded.
In fact, before the harvest, when everyone looked at the plump and large ears of wheat, they already had a premonition that the harvest of this batch of wheat this year would be very good, but no one expected that it would reach a yield of one thousand catties per mu.
Wei Ruo smiled: "The wheat species used are better, they have been carefully cultivated and improved, and the yield is indeed better than what everyone has grown in the past."
These are all wheat seeds produced in her space, and the quality is naturally not comparable to the original local wheat seeds.
"All the wheat is harvested, and we won't sell it outside for the time being." Wei Ruo reminded.
"Miss, don't worry, we won't tamper with the grain in the village without your words." Manager Yu assured.
Wei Ruo nodded.
"As soon as the wheat is harvested, we will arrange people to plow the land, top-dress fertilizer, and transplant the seedlings we have raised into the paddy fields from the seedling fields." Wei Ruo said.
"Miss, don't worry, I have already ordered this matter, and I will never miss the time for planting rice."
Wei Ruo was very relieved that Manager Yu was doing things. Even if Wei Ruo didn't order some things, Manager Yu would know to tell the people under him to do them.
Wei Ruo and Yu Guanshi were talking, and the servants came to report that Boss Fan from Zuixianju came.
"Is he here?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Yes, Boss Fan is right outside the door." The servant replied.
Wei Ruo was suspicious. Fan Chengxu usually sent someone to invite Wei Ruo to Zuixianju when he wanted to see Wei Ruo. Why did he come to the door in person today?
After thinking for a while, Wei Ruo said: "Please bring people in."
"yes."
With Wei Ruo's consent, the servants went outside and invited Fan Chengxu in.
Wei Ruo received Fan Chengxu in the courtyard: "Boss Fan, my place is simple, so I can only wrong you to meet me in this courtyard."
While talking, Wei Ruo invited Fan Chengxu to sit in front of the stone table, and poured him freshly brewed tea.
"I think Mr. Xu's place is not simple, but very elegant." Fan Chengxu said.
"It can't be compared with Boss Fan's Zuixianju." Wei Ruo replied.
"I've heard that the wheat harvest on Mr. Xu's village has been bumper, and the yield per mu is extremely high." Fan Chengxu said.
Wei Ruoxiao: "Boss Fan, you are too well-informed about this news, aren't you? I just found out about the yield per mu in my village. How come you already know about it?"
"I don't know the exact number, but the people nearby are spreading the word that the wheat harvested from your village has piled up into hills, which is not a little bit higher than the average output." Fan Chengxu said.
Wei Ruo smiled and agreed.
After all, this matter is obvious to all, and there is nothing to hide, and there is nothing to hide.
The smile on Fan Chengxu's face became stronger: "Mr. Xu, I wonder how you think about the thing I proposed last time?"
I don’t know if it’s because he can’t wait, or because he is more convinced that Wei Ruo has the ability to help his tea garden improve after hearing the news of Wei Ruo’s Zhuangzi’s harvest of winter wheat. Fan Chengxu personally came to Wei Ruo’s Zhuangzi to ask about it.
"There have been a lot of things recently, and I haven't thought about it very much." Wei Ruo replied.
"Then why not think about it now." Fan Chengxu said with a smile.
"This matter is more complicated. I'm afraid I can't think clearly about it for a while." Wei Ruo said.
"How about a complex method?" Fan Chengxu asked.
"Tea is a very wide-ranging matter, and there are many factors that affect the taste of tea. In addition to the variety of tea, the environment in which it grows, the climate of the year, and the timing of picking, the taste of tea will be affected, as well as the way the tea is processed later. , the baking process and storage conditions will all be affected, Boss Fan only said that he wants to ask me for help and cooperate with me, but he doesn't know which aspect of cooperation he is talking about?" Wei Ruo asked.
