A Blessed Daughter Chapter 375

  Chapter 375 Busy half a month

  Rice, sweet potatoes, and the taro planted by Wei Ruoxin later all ushered in a bumper harvest. Wei Ruo wants to arrange the storage and distribution of these grains.

   Among them, rice must be stored in large quantities in the warehouse. The sweet potatoes are still the same as before, and some of them are made into dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips, which are more convenient for storage, transportation and sale.

  As for the taro, in addition to storing some of it, Wei Ruo also plans to sell some of it, just like the sweet potato, to pave the way for future promotion.

  And taro is a familiar crop. The difference is that the yield and quality of the batch of taro she planted will be higher.

  Then there is the purchase of fields in the provincial capital. The nanny and Uncle Xu have already set off, and the ten villagers selected by Zhao Hai and Stone Village have already taken their positions.

  Except for the victims in Dahe Village who have already been scheduled, it may be necessary to hire some more people in the future, and then start preparing to plant her new rice variety of perennial rice.

  Wei Ruo plans to open two shops in the provincial capital for the time being, one Sibaozhai and one braised meat shop.

  Sibaozhai needs to choose another suitable shopkeeper, and Wei Ruo has to choose again.

  The lo-mei shop can directly let Chen Aqing go there. Now Chen Aqing has brought another clerk to the lo-mei shop in Taizhou Prefecture very well, and her own ability and courage have been improved. Wei Ruo feels that she can take the lead by herself.

   In addition, the fabrics promised to several wives at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet must also be arranged.

  Because they had never seen other colors, several ladies ordered purple and blue materials, because they thought those two colors were rare and beautiful.

These two colors are really special, because the original dyeing process in this world uses natural dyes, purple is generally used for comfrey, and blue is generally used for indigo. The dyeing process of these dyes is more complicated. Relatively simple.

  Wei Ruo chose to use chemical synthesis to make some colors that look relatively new at the moment.

For example, when preparing blue, Wei Ruo mixed plant ash and ox blood, and then roasted to precipitate yellow crystals, and then put the yellow crystals into an iron salt solution made of vinegar and iron ore (iron oxide) ( ferric acetate), which gives a blue dye.

  The success rate of this kind of dye preparation method is not high under the current conditions, so the amount obtained will not be very large. Sometimes the ore you need also depends on luck, so it is true that the output is not high.

  So Wei Ruo doesn't plan to expand in terms of fabrics and garments for the time being, and will only promote and sell them in Taizhou Prefecture.

  Like thyme, the output of this special color and texture cloth will be strictly controlled to continue the hunger marketing model.

   On the second day, Wei Ruo dressed up in men's clothes again and went out to inspect his own Zhuangzi, watching the grand harvest of the people in the Zhuangzi.

  After that, I went to the surrounding farmlands, because many people nearby borrowed Wei Ruo's rice seeds, and after the harvest, they would hand over the grain to Wei Ruo as agreed at the beginning.

  However, this part of the rice was planted later, and it is still immature, but judging from the growth, it should be able to make a good profit.

  When the farmers saw Wei Ruo, they all greeted each other.

   "Hello Mr. Xu!"

   "Master Xu, come and have a sip of tea!"

   "Why is Mr. Xu free to come to the field today? Come and sit at our house!"

  Everyone showed their enthusiasm for Wei Ruo, because the rice in their fields can grow so well now thanks to Wei Ruo's blessing.

Although Wei Ruo lent them the rice seeds with the attitude of doing business, the heavy ears of rice growing in the rice fields are real. When they saw the sweetness, they realized that the deal between them and Wei Ruo was extremely important. It's a good deal, and the attitude towards Wei Ruo is naturally good.

  Finally, Wei Ruo went to Shitou Village. First, he went to see the sandy land he had contracted to Shitou Village. The sweet potatoes on it had been harvested in sevens and eighties, but many villagers were still doing the aftermath.

  Because Wei Ruo said that they will contract this place to them next year, and Wei Ruo paid them according to the proportion, so they are naturally very attentive. Only when the production volume increases, can they get more.

  So they treat Wei Ruo's sandy land with the same care as they treat their own land.

  When they saw Wei Ruo, the villagers in Shitou Village responded with extra enthusiasm.

   One by one, they came to Wei Ruo with food and drink, one bite at a time, Mr. Xu, for fear that Wei Ruo would become hungry or thirsty.

   After finally escaping from the enthusiastic villagers of Shitou Village, Wei Ruo came to the brewery.

  Although the output of the brewery is not high, the profit is high. Wei Ruo also provides good benefits to these selected brewers. In addition to the initially agreed wages, there are additional rewards at the end of each month.

  So these brewers were all happy and enthusiastic when they saw Wei Ruo, even more than the villagers in Shitou Village.

  Wei Ruo inspected the brewery, and after confirming that there was no problem, he asked someone to fetch ten jars of thyme from the warehouse and transported them to her carriage.

  Although Wei Ruo said that the output of thyme is scarce, only two or three jars per day, in fact, the daily output can still be a little more than this amount.

  The extra Wei Ruo doesn't usually sell it, but stores it in the warehouse, and uses it when needed.

  The ten altars were taken out this time to send to Xu Zhengyong. After the news of his promotion is confirmed, a celebration banquet will be held for him.

  When he was about to leave, Wei Ruo remembered something again, so he took Xiumei back and took two more jars.

  After returning home, Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to send the two extra jars of thyme to Wei Mingting.

  Wei Mingting fought a good battle this time, and can rest at home for a few days. The rare relaxation time is a good time to taste wine.

   Wei Mingting grinned from ear to ear when he received the thyme from Wei Ruo. He didn't know whether it was because the wine was really mellow and mellow to his liking, or because it was a gift from his daughter that was more intoxicating than the ones he got from other places.

  Wei Ruo has been busy with this job for half a month, from mid-August to early September. During this period, he left early and returned late every day. He had almost no contact with other people in the family, and he did not see Yun Shi for a few days.

  During this period, Wei Ruo's crops in each village were almost harvested, and the rice seeds lent out before were also taken back in the originally agreed share.

   At this moment, all the granaries were filled, and even the Xuji Grain Store in Xingshan County, which had been closed for a long time, reopened for business.

   And it's not only Wei Ruo's fields that ushered in a bumper harvest in the past half month, but also the fields of other farmers in Taizhou Prefecture.

  Because of the effective implementation of various measures, about 40% of the fields in Taizhou Prefecture have ushered in bumper harvests one after another.

  So the entire Taizhou Prefecture is immersed in joy, whether it is a farmer who is working hard or a dignitary in a high position, they are all extremely happy.
