"Still as healthy as ever." Manager Bai said with a kind smile. "Aren't you staying in the prefectural city? How could you bear to go back to Xiyang County?"
"Oh dear, the city is nice, but Uncle Bai isn't here. We missed you, so we came back."
"You little rascal, you have such a sweet tongue..."
Inside the You Ran Ju, young and old alike engage in intimate conversations.
The leisurely residence outside represents a complete transformation and renewal for Zheng Ruqian, both inside and out.
His sister's words opened up a new world for him. Suddenly, he realized that his ability to sell mushrooms and vegetables was not accidental, but because he had a brave sister.
Don't care about others' wealth or their cold looks; keep your goal in mind. No matter how you run, there is only one finish line.
It is precisely because of this that she is not afraid of setbacks, not afraid of hardships, and has no sense of "awe".
She dared to go to the You Ran Ju in Xieyang County, and she wasn't afraid of the You Ran Ju in the prefectural city either.
But Jiang Sheng's biggest flaw is that she doesn't have much ambition. She just wants to eat and drink her fill and live a good life. She has never coveted a life of luxury.
Fortunately, Zheng Ruqian was greedy.
The courageous Jiang Sheng meets the ambitious Zheng Ruqian. The siblings go further and further down the road to wealth, complementing each other and unable to succeed without either of them.
Having figured all this out, Zheng Ruqian suddenly straightened his back.
He may have been timid and cowardly for half his life, but as long as his sister is there, he will forge ahead without hesitation.
"Manager Bai, it's been a long time." The twelve-year-old boy, already exuding elegance, stepped into Youran Residence with a smile.
Manager Bai took a deep breath and looked at Zheng Ruqian with a complicated expression.
This boy was someone he had watched grow up. From being timid at the beginning to now buying land and hiring people to work, the twelve-year-old boy had already made a name for himself and gained a good reputation in Xiyang County. It was said that many people secretly called him "Master Zheng".
I have no idea what it will look like when it grows up.
Based on this, Manager Bai extended his best wishes, saying, "I just heard from Xiao Ni that you want to grow a vegetable that lasts from September to April of the following year. There aren't any suitable ones in Xiyang County, but you can look in other counties. As long as the temperature is similar and it's possible to grow it, that's fine."
Just then, the waiter passed by carrying a plate of water bamboo shoots and a plate of scrambled eggs with burdock.
Zheng Ruqian's eyes immediately lit up.
He asked Jiang San and Jiang Si to bring along the specialties of Xieyang County, plus ten catties of sausages, and they made their way to Yunshui County. While paying their respects to Magistrate Pang, they also inquired about the planting and harvesting dates of water chestnuts and burdock.
Water bamboo has two harvest seasons, but the latest harvest time is June, which clashes with green beans.
That leaves only burdock, which can be harvested in spring and autumn.
Autumn burdock, planted in August or September and harvested in March or April of the following year, commands a high price, perfectly meeting all the requirements.
When the 30 acres of land are harvested, they can not only sell them to Youranju, but also sell them to other cities and make even more money.
Zheng Ruqian was overjoyed. He loaded a cart with burdock and had Pang Dashan load another cart. He also hired some day laborers to go to Yunshui County to learn how to plant the burdock seeds.
For a time, "Master Zheng's" reputation grew even more.
Zheng Ruqian was quite pleased with himself and planned to take his sister back to the prefectural city to show off to his brothers—you haven't even achieved fame yet, but I already have a reputation.
They had just checked out of the inn and boarded a carriage when they were stopped before they even left the city.
A group of women dressed in red and green were blocking the way, their faces full of excitement.
The one in the lead wasn't particularly outstanding in appearance, except for her large, beautiful eyes, which were just like Zheng Ruqian's.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she called out plaintively, "Qian'er..."
