Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All-Chapter 479 - 299: A Newfound Respect

Liu Hongcai quickly walked a few steps: "Dad, you’re fishing here again."

Old Liu was focused on watching the float but was interrupted by his son. He waved his hand dismissively: "You’re looking for Jiang Hu, right? He’s at the pigsty across the way. You can get there by crossing the bridge."

Only then did Liu Hongcai notice the long row of houses on the other side and exclaimed in surprise: "That’s a pigsty? Such a big pigsty?"

Jiang Wei happened to hear this and proudly lifted his chin: "Yeah, that’s our pigsty. It can house more than a hundred pigs!"

Liu Hongcai was startled: "So many?"

Jiang Wei nodded with pride: "Yeah, and it’s not just about raising pigs. The main thing is that we get a lot of pig manure, which we use as fertilizer for the crops. The grains grow better and yield more."

"Your family is in business, so you probably don’t grow crops and wouldn’t know this. In farming, manure is the most important. When we herd cattle, we even carry baskets on our backs to collect the cow dung." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Liu Hongcai’s cheek twitched. It’s not that he doesn’t know how to farm!

Even though he hasn’t farmed before, he’s familiar with this common sense!

Nonetheless, he couldn’t help but be amazed and took a closer look at Jiang Wei.

Among the Jiang family’s children, Jiang Wei was the least like the others.

Compared to the other kids, even the two adults, no, even Aunt Yang and the two servants Qixi who had been with them for so long, they all have changed a lot.

They’ve grown fairer and more attractive than before.

But Jiang Wei is different. His name suggests power, yet he’s always been skinny and dark. If not for his five or six resemblance to Jiang Hu, he’d think Jiang Wei was the adopted one.

At least, compared to the true adopted son Wei Ziang, Jiang Wei definitely looks less like a Jiang family member!

But now, Liu Hongcai thinks differently.

Before Liu Hongcai could speak, Jiang Wei’s eyes twinkled, and he spoke again.

"Uncle Liu, I heard from my big brother that your business is doing great. Do you know where we can buy cattle? We want to buy several."

This puzzled Liu Hongcai a bit: "Doesn’t your family already have cattle? Why buy more?"

They went to Nanyang State, driving their cattle and carrying a lot of goods.

Jiang Wei shook his head: "That’s not enough. Our land is increasing. One cow is not sufficient; we need at least two, provided my parents don’t buy more land."

Liu Hongcai raised an eyebrow: "Did your dad tell you this?"

Jiang Wei shook his head again: "There’s no need for Dad to tell me. I’m well aware of how much land we have; you can see it easily."

Liu Hongcai was even more surprised: "So, your parents haven’t thought about buying cattle yet?"

Jiang Wei thought for a moment: "I haven’t heard them mention it, but Dad’s not foolish. Give him a few days, and he’ll probably think of it too."

Not only Liu Hongcai but even Old Liu was surprised. He couldn’t help but look Jiang Wei up and down, suddenly feeling that perhaps he underestimated the youngest Jiang child.

Jiang Yu is excellent at academics. Even though he started studying at seven, he’s no worse than my grandson, who studied from a young age.

No mention of Little Lucky Star; since birth, she’s been known by everyone for bringing blessings to the Jiang family.

Little Snow doesn’t have the other two’s outstanding talents, but she’s great at embroidery. Even my granddaughter, who researches this area, praised her, showing Little Snow’s exceptional skills.

Only Jiang Wei seemed, over the years, to lack anything remarkable.

But today, he challenged Old Liu’s perception of Jiang Wei.

Previously, he believed Jiang Wei was average, with nothing bad or particularly praiseworthy.

But now, Old Liu no longer thinks that way. He wonders, perhaps Jiang Wei’s talents simply aren’t aligned in the right direction?

Not only Old Liu thought so, but Liu Hongcai also happily patted Jiang Wei on the shoulder.

"Not bad, kiddo, thinking even faster than your dad. If you don’t want to continue studying, why not consider a career in agriculture?"

Jiang Wei’s initially joyful expression collapsed instantly: "Be an official? No way. Exams are too troublesome; I doubt I can even pass for a scholar."

In this regard, Jiang Wei was very self-aware. Compared to his older brothers, he felt like a drag.

Liu Hongcai laughed heartily: "You’re mistaken. The position of a minister of agriculture requires deep agricultural knowledge, not just book learning and exams."

Jiang Wei immediately became interested: "There’s an official position that doesn’t require exams?"

Liu Hongcai nodded: "Of course. Like the minister of agriculture, he mainly teaches others how to grow crops better, guide farmers to make good use of tools, and how to increase yield."

He continued: "So the role of a minister of agriculture is tied to the livelihood of the populace. It’s not just about farming; it involves understanding the diverse regions and crops. It’s complicated."

Jiang Wei, young and inexperienced, only half-understood Liu Hongcai’s explanation, but he kept the idea in mind.

He thought that the minister of agriculture he saw when he was little must have been an impressive figure.

Jiang Wei clearly wasn’t aware that even ministers of agriculture have different ranks, but he didn’t need to know that at the moment.

Before saying more, Jiang Hu’s voice came from nearby.

"Xiao Wei, why didn’t you call me when your Uncle Liu was free?"

Qixi had reminded him, saying that the master had finished and was chatting with the old man by the pond. That’s how Jiang Hu knew they were done talking.
