Su Xueyi's expression changed. One hundred taels of silver?

However, he also knew that in the capital, one hundred taels of silver was not a lot, as the prices of things here were higher than those in other places.

Su Xueyi thought of the banknotes and silver that Yao Niang gave her before she left.

He took out a silver note worth one hundred taels of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was very happy and quickly gave the bag of grape seeds to Su Xueyi.

His eyes were filled with an unconcealable smile.

No one in Beijing buys grape seeds now because grapes are difficult to grow in such a cold place.

Moreover, these grape seeds are not fresh and may not be useful, so they are all stored in stock.

Su Xueyi picked up the bag of grape seeds and prepared to go home.

However, thinking of the tail behind her, Su Xueyi deliberately took the bag of grape seeds and took a detour. She went around and around until the tail behind her was dizzy and she shook it off. Then she returned home with the grape seeds.

…

Shen Yueyao didn't know this.

Su Xueyi rode a horse to the farm in the suburbs to see it.

The farm that Fan Quan helped to buy was very large, although it cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

But the farms in the capital are expensive. Fortunately, the farm is big enough and there are many tenants. Moreover, it is spring, so we can plant whatever we want.

Shen Yueyao discovered that there was a river nearby. The river was not big, but it was just right for irrigating the fields in Zhuangzi, which was very convenient.

It is not cost-effective to grow crops in such an expensive farm.

Because food prices in the capital are strictly controlled.

Moreover, the noble families are not short of food.

But there are few seasonal fruits in this era.

It is spring now and summer is just around the corner. During the hot summer, everyone’s favorite food will still be fruits.

Of course, Shen Yueyao originally planned to plant grapes and build a winery here.

Because a winery was built in Liuhe Village, Shen Yueyao now has experience in building a winery.

But here in the capital, she plans to grow grapes and create a winery.

Shen Yueyao looked carefully, then found a place in the manor and said, “Let’s build a winery here. Build it first, and then we can use it directly when we need it.”

As she spoke, Shen Yueyao gave Fan Quan the blueprints of the winery that had already been designed, and told Fan Quan to find craftsmen to build it.

He also gave Fan Quan the design drawings for renovating a heated kang in the house and said, "Find a trustworthy craftsman to create this design. It's a technical job. Once you know how to renovate a heated kang, if someone wants to build one later, this person can make a living from it."

Fan Quan understood what he meant and said, "Master, I brought a group of people from the capital this time. Two of them are good at craftsmanship. Let them do this crucial work."

The indentures of these people are in the hands of their master, and they obey their master in everything they do.

Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "That's good."

Shen Yueyao also told Fan Quan that everything had been planned in Zhuangzi, including where to plant watermelons, where to plant melons, where to plant strawberries, etc.

She also left a large piece of land for growing grapes.

She planned to walk around the capital to see if there was anyone selling grape seeds. She would then cultivate and improve the grape seeds in her space, and then plant them so that they would survive.

Moreover, the grapes grown from grape seeds that have been improved in space are not only easy to survive, but also have high yields and sweet taste.

Just like strawberries, those strawberries in the space are really sweet.

Shen Yueyao also wanted to open a dairy farm, and she wanted to open a milk tea shop in Beijing.

She was shopping yesterday and discovered that there were so many dignitaries and wealthy people in the capital.

Many people don't care about the price when buying things.

As long as the product is good, they are willing to pay for it.

Thinking about the booming business of various brands of milk tea shops on the streets in the technological age, Shen Yueyao understood that no matter what era, most people should like to drink milk tea.

Moreover, if the store sells milk tea, it can still sell cold drinks and popsicles in the summer, so business should be very good.

Now that I'm in Beijing, I naturally have to open a store.

But there is no rush to open the store. It won’t be too late to open it when summer is approaching.

After Shen Yueyao arranged many things, she rode home on horseback.

After returning home, Shen Yueyao found out that Su Xueyi had bought all the grape seeds.

Shen Yueyao happily hugged Su Xueyi and said, "Husband, thank you so much. I was just thinking about how to buy grape seeds, so you bought them for me."

Seeing Shen Yueyao's happy expression, Su Xueyi also felt good.

"As long as you are happy."

As for what happened in Wenhua Building, Su Xueyi did not mention it, also in order not to make Yao Niang worry.

Shen Yueyao didn’t know about that. When she saw the grape seeds, she took them directly into the space.

Then plant the grape seeds in a field in space.

It's easy to grow things in space.

Plant these seeds for a while, then take them out and plant them on the farm.

After Shen Yueyao came out of the space, she continued to work. She wanted to draw the wine brewing tools, and also have some jars and other things made.

All of this requires silver.

Fortunately, the business she did in the workshop in Liuhe Village laid a foundation, and she had a lot of money in her hands.

Moreover, she is aware of the monthly accounts of the Liuhe Village workshop and knows that there is income every month, which makes her feel at ease.

…

At the Duke of Wei's mansion, Wei Chuan's servant returned to report, "Second Master, I am incompetent and have lost the man."

"What, you actually lost me?"

Wei Chuan couldn't believe it. This servant of his had some kung fu and was quite clever. If he followed someone, he would rarely lose them.

"He was wandering around the streets and even bought something at a grocery store. My subordinates found out he was buying grape seeds."

Wei Chuan scoffed, "I thought he was capable, but it turns out he bought this useless stuff. Little did he know that so many people in the capital wanted to grow it but couldn't. And the few that were grown were sour and unpalatable, completely different from the grapes sent as tribute from foreign countries."

Wei Chuanjue thought this person was stupid.

But this person has offended him, and he can't just let him go.

"Go, use the news network to check. I want to see who this person is."

The fact that Duke Wei has been able to survive to this day is related to the information network he established privately.

They have their own channels to get the news.

If you want to find out that person's identity, you should be able to find out.

However, Wei Chuan didn't dare let his father know about these things.

His father is now concerned about the emperor and says that he cannot be caught.

His father also said, don't underestimate the emperor who ascended the throne.

Humph, if the late emperor and Prince Duan had not fought so fiercely and both died, it would never have been the turn of the current emperor to ascend the throne.

Anyway, there should be no problem for him to deal with a poor student who comes to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

It's not like I haven't killed people before, I just dealt with it quietly.

Wei Chuan said viciously, "Find out this man's name and where he lives. I'll have someone teach him a lesson, so he doesn't know his place. I'll let him know that he's of low status and there are people he can't afford to offend."
