The Blessed Princess
Chapter 195 I'm just looking for money,
"Is my physical condition okay?" Ask Zhu Zongyu.
"If you can't walk, you can tell me, as long as you do what you can, it's fine if you don't push yourself," Wei Ruo replied.
"Good."
So Wei Ruo got up and took Zhu Zongyu to the farm in Zhuangzili.
The road at the edge of the field was quite flat, Wei Ruo's footsteps were not fast, and Zhu Zongyu could barely keep up with the current situation.
Zhu Zongyu looked at the vast field and spread the busy people in the fields, then to the people walking in front of him.
For some reason, I feel very calm.
It was not that Zhu Zongyu had never seen farmland and farmers before, but in the past, he was looking down from the corner Today, with Mr. Xu, this was a different point of view.
Everyone I met along the way greeted Wei Ruo enthusiastically and called out "My boss" with a smile on my 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 a ridge with a two or three-year-old child in her arms, while her husband was busy in a nearby field.
The man's hands were red with cold, his nose was also red, and he continued to exhale white air from his mouth, but with a smile on his face, he was still in the dark, he looked back at his wife and children behind him from time to time.
As Wei Ruo approached, the man stopped and bowed to Wei Ruo: "Master."
The little boy in the woman's arms also smiled at Wei Ruo, and shouted childishly: "Good master."
The voice was soft and twisted Yes, the slight redness of the little faces was very cute.
A smile like this was extremely contagious, not only Wei Ruo, but also Zhu Zongyu could not help but look gentle upon seeing it.
Not only that, Zhu Zongyu also found that the boy and the couple did not show panicked expressions as they looked at themselves with bandages on their faces.
He knew it might be because he was following Young Master Xu, and because of the belief in Young Master Xu, they also naturally believed that he, the stranger who was dressed eeriely, was not a bad person.
Wei Ruo walked towards the boy and gave him a piece of dried yam.
The boy took the dried yam and was reluctant to eat it himself, so he put it in his mother's mouth first.
The mother stuffed the dried sweet potato back into the boy's mouth again, and said with a smile that the mother would not eat it.
Then the little boy chewed it in a small mouthful.
Wei Ruo smiled, put two more dried yams into the hands of the boy's mother, then turned around and continued walking.
Seeing Wei Ruo's smile, Zhu Zongyu felt that his smile was warmer than a boy's smile.
Zhu Zongyu followed slowly: "A few days ago, I heard from Guanshi Yu that you were protecting them and letting them survive this very cold winter. What I saw with my own eyes today is true." I
hired them, they want to work for me, if they're lazy, I'll mercilessly drive them out, we each get what we need, not me doing good deeds." Wei Ruo replied.
“But you are more capable than ordinary people, and more willing to help people who are in trouble. If you only have ideas but no abilities, I think you are mediocre; if you have abilities but no heart, you are like Boss Fan & Master Xu has both." Zhu Zongyu commented on Wei Ruo.
"Young Master Zhu thinks too much of me. I just love money, and I just think about how to maximize my profits. Boss Fan and I are the same person," Wei Ruo said.
“If Mr. Xu only likes money, he will not save me.” Zhu Zongyu was very confident in his assessment.
"Maybe I bet that you are a rich man, and saving you will give you a good profit. But it turns out that I was right," Wei Ruo replied.
"Why did Master Xu deliberately discredit yourself? You are not a person who just wants to make money," Zhu Zongyu said sternly.
"Whatever you want."
The two walked for a while, and there was a burst of unpleasant smell in the air.
“What do they do?” Zhu Zongyu asked.
"We fertilize the soil. Most of the farm work has stopped at this time, but we can do some things to improve the soil. When we sow the next spring, we will have a chance to get a good harvest," Wei Ruo explained .
"What kind of fertilizer?"
"Farm dung, and a mixture of rotten melons, fruits, vegetables, stems, and herbs." Wei Ruo explained, knowing that Zhu Zongyu's smell was unpleasant, so he added, "For them, this stench . The thing that doesn't exist is the hope of life, from decay to new life."
"From decay to new life .." Zhu Zongyu said with a thought.
Wei Ruo smiled and continued to lead Zhu Zongyu for a while.
Considering Zhu Zongyu's physical condition, Wei Ruo did not leave for too long, and brought him back to his hut after two quarters of an hour.
Then Guan Yu brought the medicine today.
Kissing the bitter taste of the medicine, Zhu Zongyu looked at Wei Ruo: "Young Master Xu, there is still something I just gave the little boy." "You mean
dried sweet potatoes?"
"Yes, that must be very sweet. .. Taste it."
"Yes." Yeah."
Wei Ruo generously took out a piece of dried yam from the bag and placed it next to Zhu Zongyu's medicine bowl.
Zhu Zongyu then took the medicine bowl and drank it little by little.
It was not that he drank slowly because he was afraid of difficulties, it was because his face was bruised and he could not move much.
After taking the medicine, he put the dried yam into his mouth and bit it a little.
“True, it's very sweet.” Zhu Zongyu looked very satisfied.
Seeing his appearance, Wei Ruo only gave him two extra yuan.
Zhu Zongyu took out a silver or two and placed it on the table: "Since Master Xu is looking for money, it is not good for Master Xu to go against his goal in doing something." Of course, Wei Ruo
taking silver without politeness.
If you have money, you're not making money, you bastard!
###
After the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, classes were completely suspended, and Mr. Wang Caiwei had to leave early to return to his hometown for the New Year.
Xu Tongzhi's family was also in a similar situation, schools were suspended, and the women of each family were also free, stopping to help the family prepare for the New Year.
Twelve or thirteen-year-old girls should start learning from the family mistress to manage a mid-career, especially during the Lunar New Year.
But Wei Ruo did not plan to follow Yun to learn these things, let alone these few days were a busy time for the lo-mei shop, after all, because many people will buy lo-mei first to prepare for New Year's Eve.
Based on the original, Wei Ruo launched boiled duck products: boiled duck neck, boiled duck wings, and boiled duck legs.
Now the sale of boiled duck products is better than the sale of real boiled pork, and twenty or thirty ducks are sold every day. Therefore, it is not stable enough to go to the vegetable market to buy ducks every morning.
To find a supply line suitable for ducks, Wei Ruo traveled throughout the countryside near Fucheng in recent days, and after some contact and negotiations, he said, he temporarily decided on some place as a duck supplier.
