Chapter 84 The first batch of sweet potatoes are ripe
Although Wei Jinyi didn't respond, he agreed with Xiao Bei's statement in his heart.
She really likes him as a brother, if one day she finds out that he is actually... I don't know if she will be sad.
Xiaobei couldn't help but asked again: "Young Master, are we really going to Huzhou Mansion? If we go to Huzhou Mansion, we won't be able to see the Eldest Miss."
"Go." Wei Jin also made up his mind.
Some things are inconvenient for others to do in the Wei Mansion, and they can only be freed when they go outside.
Seeing Wei Jinyi's change, Xiaobei was both happy and worried. The young master has been avoiding those people all these years, but now he has changed his mind. I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

A few days later, there was a reply from the Huzhou government. Mr. Heyou's letter of recommendation was very useful, and Layman Zanglin planned to meet Wei Jinyi in person.
So Wei Jin also prepared to leave for Huzhou Prefecture.
Wei Mingting personally ordered the Yun family to prepare luggage, carriages and horses for Wei Jinyi to ensure that Wei Jinyi will have no worries along the way.
The Yun family did not dare to be negligent, but she was somewhat disappointed. The second young master, who had never had a sense of existence in the mansion, had this opportunity to pay homage to Master Canglin, while her eldest son, the first young master, who had always been praised by her husband's classmates, could only stay. In this Xingshan County, I am struggling to find the next opportunity.
When Wei Jinyi went out, Wei Ruo didn't go to see him off, but just prepared a box of practice gifts for Wei Jinyi, which he gave to Xiaobei the day before.
After Wei Jinyi left, Wei Ruo sat in the yard, resting his chin with one hand, and sighed unconsciously:
"Suddenly felt that my decision was not very wise. There is only such a talkative person in the family. After leaving, I feel even more deserted."
Xiumei said: "Miss, I have nothing to do with this matter. It is your own decision. If you really feel bored, then I will be wronged 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 I can't do without you." Wei Ruo hurriedly explained.
Xiumei was amused by Wei Ruo and giggled, "Okay, miss, you are hungry again and want me to make you some delicious food, right?"
"No, no, it's all sincerity, no skill." Wei Ruo said with a smile.

Time flies to the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the weather turns cooler.
On the first day of August, it was a cloudy day, and the mood of the people was just like the weather on this day.
There is no other reason, only because this year's rice is not growing well, the rice ears are not full, and there are a lot of empty shells. You can predict this year's grain 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 full of joy of harvest.
The hired long-term workers turned over the land, dug up the sweet potatoes, and then picked them down the mountain one by one.
The long-term and day-worker farmers in other nearby villages stretched their necks and looked around.
In fact, they were already curious when sweet potatoes were planted on Xiaoyang Mountain.
Later they sold some vine leaves, and everyone probably knew that this was a new crop and could be eaten.
Today, when I saw the long-term workers on the mountain carrying loads of sweet potatoes down the mountain, I realized that these plants mainly eat the tubers in the soil.
I don’t know if the red pieces are delicious or not.
Most of the first batch of dug sweet potatoes were sent to the warehouse, and only a small part was sent to the market for sale.
Looking at the situation this year, grain storage is more important than silver storage.
Of course Wei Ruo still needs to sell some of the sweet potatoes in exchange for some working capital, but this is not in a hurry. He needs to wait for the next few batches of sweet potatoes to be dug up, evaluate the total output, and then decide how much to sell.
Now, we only sell a few at first, which is considered to be a promotion of this new type of crop and pave the way for subsequent large-scale sales.
In the market, a charcoal fire rack was set up next to the small stall selling sweet potatoes, and the sweet potatoes were roasted on it.
Soon, the roasted sweet potatoes exuded an attractive food aroma, which attracted many people to stop and ask.
I have endorsed sweet potato vine leaves and dried sweet potatoes before, and everyone already has a certain understanding of sweet potatoes as a crop. They know that this food is edible and tastes good.
The price of roasted sweet potatoes is neither expensive nor cheap, five cents each.
But this year, everyone can already foresee that the grain harvest will be in short supply, and the price of grain in the rice shop is already rising. If you think about it this way, the price of sweet potatoes is considered a conscience.
After the first person bought it and tasted it on the spot and said it was delicious, it sold out quickly, and it was sold out in a short while.
Many people still want to buy again, but the baked sweet potato stall has closed, so they can only come back another day if they want it.

Listening to Songyuan, Wei Ruo is in a great mood.
Xiumei is also happy, every time the crops are harvested, the young lady's mood is very good. If the crops matured every day, the lady would be so happy every day.
What Xiumei didn't know was that Wei Ruo was not only happy because the sweet potatoes on Xiaoyang Mountain had a good harvest, but also because the sweet potatoes she planted in the yard had also matured.
Although the quantity is not comparable to that of Xiaoyang Mountain, Wei Ruo planted it himself and can get experience points.
Originally, there was only one hundred experience points short of the one thousand experience points needed to upgrade the space to the third level. This time, he directly obtained two hundred experience points, and the space was successfully upgraded to the third level.
Not only is there an extra piece of arable land in the space, but also to unlock a new space plant - shiitake mushroom mycelium.
After the upgrade of the space, Wei Ruo immediately planted it on the land of the space. Everything can be planted on the land of the space, and there is no need for her to deal with the soil and the environment.
Even if the environmental factors required to grow shiitake mushrooms and ordinary plants are completely different, it can be realized on the land in the space.
In addition, Wei Ruo also wants to plant shiitake mushrooms in the outside world. This situation is much more complicated, and requires the 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, and it can grow within a week under suitable temperature and air humidity.
Secondly, this thing does not need to be planted in the ground and does not occupy land resources. Land resources in Xingshan County are very limited. 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. When she went to Xiejia Bieyuan last time, she found that there were many natural caves formed on the nearby mountains.
If the humidity and temperature in the cave are suitable, it will be a natural mushroom cultivation room.
