Chapter 409 Go out and give it a try

Shuiqing felt relaxed on the way back.

The grain was unloaded from the carriage and piled outside the yard. The men helped to move it into the yard, and the women carried it in pairs.

Shuiqing found Wang Guifen in the crowd and asked: "Sister-in-law Guifen, thanks to you today, we all have a good meal to make up for the energy we just exerted. Please help me with the management."

Wang Guifen was directing which kind of grain to be piled where to avoid confusion. After hearing Shuiqing's words, she said cheerfully: "Well, it's not easy to ask the villagers to help, why do you need to treat me to a meal!"

"It's okay, I wanted to treat you anyway. Lord Ling also sent grain and pork. The pork is fresh." Shuiqing said without any refusal.

Sang Rou had drawn out the family swords that she brought with her. After all, Sang Rou was also an official's wife. The boys in the village were not afraid of those swords, and these women were even more powerful when they tickled Sang Rou. They spared no effort and had to give each of them a good rest.

Wang Guifen looked at the fat white pork, and it was impossible for her not to be tempted.

Especially since they had been harvesting potatoes for more than ten days, people who did manual labor wanted to eat oily food. She said embarrassedly: "Okay, what do you say? People are ready, just in time to get busy!"

The men and women were helping to move the food, and they hadn't left yet, so they were just doing something to eat.

Shuiqing looked at the pile of pork that looked like a small mountain, and said: "How about making big fresh meat buns? Boil the pork bones in the soup, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and eat with it."

Aunt Li heard from the side and quickly interrupted: "Oh, no, how can it be pure meat? How much meat do you need? Mix some cabbage or something."

Wang Guifen also meant this.

Mix more vegetables in it, and you can make several pure meat buns.

"No need to mix, just big fresh meat buns, white flour, thin skin and big meat buns with plenty of fillings!" Shuiqing made the decision heroically.

She had thought about it before, to let them eat meat to their heart's content. She had originally thought of slaughtering pigs and sheep, but now that Ling Ce's thank-you gift included pork, it would be even easier.

When the boys who helped carry the food heard about the big meat buns with thin skin and rich fillings, they were so excited that they almost cheered.

Auntie Wang Guifen and Li Da Ni did not insist, and happily asked people to go to the kitchen to get busy.

Li Dani, Zhou Yu, and Wang Qiuyue also went in to help with the work.

Shui Qing finished her instructions and turned to go into the main room.

After closing the doors and windows and entering the inner room, she began to sell the calligraphy and antiques Ling Ce had sent.

As the crisp receipt reminder sounded, Shui Qing felt extremely excited watching the balance on the mall double and double again!

Antique calligraphy and paintings are too valuable!

Authentic ones are even more rare.

She opened the wooden boxes one by one, and even though the inner room was dim, she could see the golden light.

Shui Qing thought happily, this is all Ling Ran's credit.

I wonder if this young man has arrived now?

It's a journey of thousands of miles, and the world is unstable. I don't know if I can arrive safely.

It's okay if there is not enough food, the gold leaves and silver bars will definitely be enough. The only thing I'm afraid of is meeting criminals and bandits. After all, I'm only seventeen. It's not reassuring to travel alone to such a far place.

Alas, it's not good to have no mobile phone. I can't report safety. I don't know when I can see it again...

The big meat buns the size of a fist can be steamed in many baskets at a time. After they are out of the basket, they are served with a big bowl of big bone soup sprinkled with chopped green onions. It's very satisfying to take a bite.

Shuiqing picked out dozens of good-looking ones and put them in a bamboo basket, and sent them to the elders in the village to let them taste them.

Originally, I thought it would take some time to go from house to house, but I didn't expect that most of the elders in the village were at the old village chief's house, and the first house Shuiqing sent to was the old village chief.

Shuiqing smiled and greeted: "Come on, it's still hot, just right to eat!"

"Why are you so polite, kid?" Mr. Fan Qi smiled and took the big meat bun.

The old man looked at the big bun made of white flour with his eyes, and was reluctant to eat it.

This is a bun made of pure white flour. He took a bite and didn't expect that it was pure meat filling! Only a small amount of ginger and chopped green onion were used for seasoning.

Other old people also noticed it. Granny Xu sipped it in small sips and sighed: "I didn't expect that I would live to this age and eat several meals of fine grains. These meals are all thanks to Shuiqing."

Life is getting better and better.

"It's good to eat fine grains, but in this chaotic world, the most important thing is that the whole family can eat every meal." The old village chief said with relief.

Grandpa Wang immediately agreed: "Yes, it's still thanks to Shuiqing! The potato harvest this season is enough to eat for two or three years without any problem."

"Shuiqing, you are here at the right time. We are discussing the number of acres of medicinal materials. Come and make a decision."

Hearing that it was a discussion of medicinal materials, which was exactly what Shuiqing was concerned about, she sat down and participated in the discussion.

"The number of acres is not the key. The main thing is that yam grows deep and it is troublesome to dig, so we have to choose soft land, and then we need to make ridges, and we also need to keep up with the fertility, manure and other compost.

It is more suitable for fertile land, and Polygonum multiflorum can mostly be planted on newly reclaimed land and mountains and forests.

Yam is not as valuable as Polygonum multiflorum, but its yield is better than Polygonum multiflorum. Generally, it can be 37% or 46%, and yam can be planted in 30% to 40% of the total acreage."

After hearing Shui Qing's words, the old man present had a bottom line in his heart.

They can't decide how much to plant rashly. After all, the whole village has thousands of acres of land, and there are even more mountains and forests. What if they plant too much and can't sell it?

And Shuiqing can let them plant 30% to 40% of the total acres, which means that this herbal medicine shop can handle it and sell it.

The old village chief was relieved and asked: "Should we pick a day to send someone to the prefecture to see if Renjitang is open?"

The last time Ding Heli came back and talked about it, he said that Manager Qin had returned to Jinling. If another manager was sent over, they would still accept their herbs, but I don't know if this person has been sent?

Shuiqing shook his head: "When I interrogated those refugees before, I asked and they were still open;

Governor Ling came here today. He and his servants have been in Guangning Prefecture these days. I asked the servants and they said the door is still closed."

The first month of the year is almost over, and businesses open early, not to mention a herbal medicine shop? In the past, it was open all year round.

It is obvious that they are not going to open. I am afraid that Manager Qin was just being polite.

The old man present sighed deeply, feeling heavy but helpless.

The world is like this, what can they do.

Shui Qing said her plan: "It's okay. We have to expand sales channels. We can't just keep it in one medicine store. This is because Shopkeeper Qin is kind and righteous and didn't lower the price. If someone else lowers the price, there's nothing we can do.

I thought we might as well go out and give it a try. Once the sales channels are opened, we won't have to worry about a good harvest of medicinal materials at the end of this year."
