Chapter 1503 Wu Fengyuan's Wrong Guess

Wu Fengyuan said, "The other party is a Mr. Qian from Donggu County. His family used to be in the tea business. However, they have not been doing well in the past two years, and their business is not doing well. At the beginning of the year, two of their shops closed down. I guess the Qian family is starting to plan to do other businesses, but they can't find a way to do so for a while."

Then, seeing that Shu Yu's sunflowers were thriving and that she was also roasting sunflower seeds and pressing oil, I got the idea.

However, according to Wu Fengyuan, the Qian family had never been involved in this business before and had no experience whatsoever. It would be extremely dangerous for them to change industries so rashly.

In particular, the sunflowers are only found in Lu Xiangjun's family, and the sunflower seeds and oil are rare commodities. They have never appeared in Da Suchao before, so it's really hard to say what the future holds.

Shu Yu listened and nodded. Master Qian clearly valued the sunflower field very much. It was only a few acres, yet he had sent five or six people to patrol the area, as if afraid that others would get too close.

As soon as Shu Yu's carriage stopped, the men immediately looked at them warily, and there was a hint that they wanted to go forward to question and drive them away.

Shu Yu simply lifted the carriage curtain to look outside. Master Qian's sunflowers were planted later than theirs. The Lu family's sunflower stalks had already reached Shu Yu's shoulder, while Master Qian's sunflowers had only just sprouted.

Moreover, the sprouts looked sparse and scattered, far from the lush and green scene of their sunflower field.

Wu Fengyuan also said, "These sunflowers are not grown well. I think the yield will be low when it comes to harvest."

Shu Yu nodded and looked at the water source not far away.

This area is quite humid, and there are hills not far away, which provide good shade.

Shu Yu smiled, turned to Ying Xi and said, "Let's go."

Wu Fengyuan was taken aback. "They're leaving already? Aren't they going to go and check on things?" Aren't they going to settle accounts with the Qian family?

Shu Yu looked away, leaned against the window frame, and smiled, "No, I have things to do back in the city."

Wu Fengyuan, “…” So you came to Donggu County not for this land?

Shu Yu sensed his strange gaze and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Young Master Wu, is there something else? Or is there a problem with this place?"

Wu Fengyuan quickly shook his head and laughed, "No, then let's go back."

"Thank you for your help today, Young Master Wu."

It was nothing, Wu Fengyuan thought, and the group turned around and returned to the city.

This time, Shu Yu did not go to the Wu family again, but instead booked a superior room at a nearby inn.

Wu Fengyuan then realized that she was going to stay overnight in the county town. It seemed that she had indeed come for something important, and that it was much more important than the sunflower field.

Wu Fengyuan chuckled and bid farewell to Shu Yu, saying, "Since Lord Lu still has matters to attend to, I won't bother you any longer. If Lord Lu needs any help, please feel free to come to the Wu family. We are quite familiar with Donggu County."

Thank you.

Wu Fengyuan cupped his hands in greeting and returned with his entourage.

It was almost noon, so Shu Yu didn't linger any longer. She parked the carriage in the backyard of the inn and then took Ying Xi directly to find Wei Ronghua.

Wei Ronghua is now the manager of a pastry shop called Hongxianggao. The shop isn't very big, but business is pretty good. According to Master Miao, this is all thanks to Wei Ronghua.

Shu Yu specifically found an inn near the Red Fragrance Cake Shop, and it's not far from there now.
