MTL - A Blessed Daughter-Chapter 88 Fast planting success
Chapter 88 Successful planting and quick returns
If Wei wants to use this cave to grow mushrooms, he has to find Lizheng in a nearby village to negotiate.
Although this mountain is a barren mountain, everyone can go to the mountain to cut firewood and pick herbs, but if you want to rent the cave for a long time, you still need to reach an agreement with the villagers.
After the investigation is clear, we will see how to make arrangements.

Xie Jue and Xie Ying returned to Xie's other courtyard first.
Xie Jue asked people to take these herbs down for processing, to dry those that should be dried, and to wash those that should be washed.
"Brother, you can't mess up these herbs for me." Xie Ying urged.
"Sister, don't worry, you picked it yourself, and I will definitely keep it safe for you." Xie Jue said with a smile.
"And the ointment just now, return it to me, don't try to keep it private."
Xie Ying stretched out her palm and asked Xie Jue for ointment.
This time Xie Jue didn't take it out, but brazenly asked Xie Ying for it.
"Yingying, leave this ointment to me."
"Brother, what do you want ointment for?" Xie Ying asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I just think it smells good, and I want to keep it to smell it, and when it's hot, I'm often harassed by mosquitoes when I study at night. Applying this ointment may help me avoid this trouble."
"I will give it to you if you need it." Xie Ying is very generous to her family, as long as Xie Jue has a legitimate reason, she will not be stingy and refuse to give it to him.
Then Xie Ying added: "But don't forget that you have to return the gift to Ruoruo, last time I asked you to bring some good things back from the capital, but you haven't brought them back to me until now, so I don't even have a gift Send it home."
Xie Jue shouted: "Sister, you have wronged me. From the last time until now, I have been in Xingshan County and have never left, let alone the capital city. How can I bring you something back? "
"Then what have you been doing in Xingshan County? Haven't you finished your work yet?" Xie Ying asked.
"Some of them are already busy, and there are still some things that need to be dealt with." Xie Jue replied.
The war is over for the time being. He should have gone back, but because of the matter of the Seventh Prince, his grandfather ordered him to stay longer in Xingshan County.
"Well, I'm going to Taizhou Mansion in two days. His Royal Highness Seventh is in the city now, and I need to go there for some things. Then I will spare some time to come back and buy some new things for you and Wei's younger sister." Xie Jue said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, you have to buy it carefully. Mine is not important. People have given me things several times. I return them decently. Don't be ashamed." Xie Ying urged.
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass my sister." Xie Jue promised with a smile.
The brothers and sisters chatted and laughed for a while, and then left the other courtyard with today's harvest and returned to Xie's main house.

After receiving Wei Ruo's notice, the nanny acted immediately, and while telling her husband to buy what Wei Ruo needed, she went to talk to the village near Xishan instead of Wei Ruo.
The process of the conversation was surprisingly smooth. The nanny just said that she planned to hire people from the village for a monthly salary of 150 Wen, and Lizheng agreed without hesitation.
In order to respect Lizheng, according to Wei Ruo's wishes, the nanny handed over the power of selection to Lizheng, and asked Lizheng to select suitable and capable young people in the village.
Lizheng declined at first, but after listening to Xu's mother saying that if they make it, they will expand the scale in the future and need to hire more people, Lizheng readily agreed.
Because it is not easy to push only one or two people, but if there are ten or twenty job opportunities, it is relatively easy for him to arrange, so there is no need to worry too much about the villagers' opinions on his arrangement.
This is good news for them, a poor mountain village located in the west of Xingshan County. They don't have any skills, and their family is only a bit of Susukida. There is not enough food when the weather is good, let alone in recent years.
There is a job for them to do, and there are two hundred Wen a month, which is enough to feed the family.
After the materials are collected, configure them according to the ratio given by Wei Ruo.
Filled into a cylindrical medium, like a piece of dead wood.
Then it was sent to the cave, and the follow-up work was handed over to the hired villagers Li Erniu and He Dong.
The content of the work is not complicated. The main thing is to take care of it, to ensure that no wild animals or people enter the cave to destroy it, and then to observe the growth of the mushrooms and report regularly.
Seven days later.
When the first batch of shiitake mushrooms were grown, the nanny went there personally. After setting the picking standards, she asked Li Erniu and He Dong, who were in charge, to pick all the shiitake mushrooms that reached the standard size. down the mountain.
Immediately afterwards, the nanny sent someone to deliver some to Wei Ruo at Wei Mansion.
Seeing the first batch of shiitake mushrooms successfully cultivated outside, Wei Ruo was overjoyed.
It took only seven days to harvest. The cultivation cycle of shiitake mushrooms is really much shorter than other crops!
"Miss, what to do with these mushrooms?" Xiumei asked.
"Immediately take it to the market and sell it." Wei Ruo said, "Then let Uncle Xu and the others follow the standard of the first cave I found, find a few more caves like this around that area, and expand the scale of planting."
"Miss, shiitake mushrooms are not a staple food, and they are not easy to preserve. If there are too many mushrooms, we will throw them at our hands if they cannot be sold." Xiumei worried.
"Don't worry, I don't plan to sell all of them after the scale is expanded. We use the shiitake mushrooms that cannot be sold to make dried shiitake mushrooms and make shiitake mushroom sauce. These can greatly extend the preservation time of shiitake mushrooms." Wei Wei If there is a countermeasure already.
"Dried mushrooms and mushroom sauce? I haven't tried them yet, so I'm looking forward to them!" Xiumei was eager to try.
"Wait until it's done, I'll give you a taste first!"
"It doesn't matter how many times, as long as the lady can grow more crops and earn more money!"
Wei Ruozheng and Xiumei were chatting happily about the shiitake mushrooms, and someone from the front yard came to inform that Miss Xie's family had brought Wei Ruo a gift and was waiting for Wei Ruo to sign for it in person.
Before he left, he specifically said that Miss Xie Jia sent a lot of things, and asked Wei Ruoduo to take someone with him.
Xie Ying made it a point to call Wei Ruo back several times, so Wei Ruo wasn't very surprised when she heard this.
I just don't know what gift Xie Ying prepared for her.
When Wei Ruo came to the front yard, many people were already standing in the front yard, even Yunshi and Wei Qingwan came.
"Miss Wei." An honest-looking old man came up and said to Wei Ruo with a smile on his face, "I am the housekeeper of the Xie Mansion. I am here to give the miss a gift by order of my young master and miss."
Wei Ruo looked at a carriage pulling goods behind the butler of the Xie Mansion, and asked, "All these?"
