Han Mingyuan has returned. He hunted two pheasants. Knowing that Han Luoxue likes roast chicken, Yunniang specially roasted them. They were golden brown and looked very appetizing.
Han Qiang was also invited over. The men wanted to drink, and Han Luoxue simply took a bottle from her spatial storage for them. This wine was infused with spiritual spring water, making it extremely beneficial to the body.
She also brought out fruit wine, which is perfect for women as it has a low alcohol content and is good for beauty and health.
After a few rounds of drinks, Han Qiang asked, "Xue girl, I've told them about the sweet potatoes, but some people still disobeyed and planted them themselves. Do you think the yield of these sweet potatoes is very low?"
"I haven't tried it, it probably won't go very high."
"Sigh, they won't listen to what I say, and I don't know what to say anymore. They're all afraid of delaying the planting. They don't even think that without good seedlings, it's all for nothing to plant in this weather."
Han Qiang complained with a helpless expression.
"But my family has no seed at all. I believe you, Xueya."
Han Luoxue smiled indifferently: "Some people never learn until they hit a brick wall. Let them try if they want."
"So what should we plant now? Xueya, do you still have any seeds? Those suitable for our crop can be bought at a high price in the village."
Hearing this, Han Luoxue smiled and said, "We're all from the same village, it would be too formal to ask for a high price."
“Everyone used to be very kind to our family, and I naturally helped them whenever I could. But I can’t help them for free forever; I still have to charge them some compensation.”
In fact, Han Luoxue didn't care about that little bit of money. She was someone who could do business with the general of Yongyang, and each deal was worth millions. Why would she care about a few taels of silver?
But she knew human nature. If you help people once, they'll be grateful; twice, they'll be deeply thankful. But if you help too much, some people will still be grateful, while others will take it for granted. She didn't want to do anything in vain. The old saying, "A small favor is appreciated, but a large favor breeds resentment," perfectly illustrates this point.
So she prefers to sell things to people, take it or leave it, rather than offer help for free.
"Yes, you're right. By the way, the sweet potatoes have all been harvested. I'll have everyone bring them over tomorrow."
When we gave everyone the seedlings, we agreed that we would pay Han Luoxue for the seedlings after the sweet potatoes were harvested. This was only because we were neighbors; if it were anyone else, would they get such a good deal?
Han Luoxue did not refute, and Yunniang glanced up, wanting to say something, but in the end remained silent.
The little guy, on the other hand, was drooling as he looked at the golden, juicy roast chicken, smacking his lips the whole time.
"You can't eat it yet."
Han Luoxue wiped the drool from Mengze's lips: "Little brother, you need to grow up quickly, so you can eat me when you're a bit older."
The little guy looked aggrieved. Everyone else was eating so heartily, but he wasn't allowed to eat anything.
Looking at the pitiful little boy, Han Luoxue laughed heartlessly.
The little guy angrily turned his head away and refused to look at Han Luoxue anymore.
"Sister, little brother is so much fun!"
Han Luoyu is a big girl now. When she was young, she followed Master Xu to learn medical skills. I heard that she has made rapid progress recently and can already perform acupuncture.
"Yes."
Han Luoxue gently rubbed Han Mengze's head; the little guy's hair was very soft and felt very comfortable to touch.
Looking at the happy family, and then thinking about his own family, Han Qiang felt bitter.
It seems Zhou Aidi will never wake up; no one will care about the death of someone like her.
"Snow Girl, what should we plant next?"
Han Qiang was still very curious; she felt that this short-season crop was much better than the ones she had before.
"Let me think about it. I'll let you know within three days, okay, Grandpa Village Head?"
"Grandpa, there's no rush. Take your time to think it over."
Han Qiang naturally wouldn't urge Han Luoxue to help; it was a favor if they helped, and it was fair if they didn't. Now, his biggest worry was something else: "Will you still go to town?"
Han Mingyuan and the others came back a while ago because Han Luoxue wanted to go out.
Let's talk about it later.
However, what Han Luoxue didn't know was that news of her return had already spread throughout the town. Not only in their Wuling Town, but also in other towns, people were inquiring about her. Knowing she was back, even the county magistrates of several towns couldn't sit still.
The next morning, before Han Mingyuan even got up, he heard a knock on the door.
He put on a coat and went outside, and was startled when he saw the people outside.
"What are you doing...?"
Several groups of people were government officials. There were more than a dozen of them; anyone who didn't know better would think they had committed some crime.
"Has Miss Han returned?"
In fact, they all knew the exact information, but they didn't dare to barge in directly, since they needed someone's help right now.
"We're back. Please come in. My daughter hasn't gotten up yet."
"I'll go wake her up now."
"No need, no need, we'll just wait here for a while."
The visitors were county magistrates from several counties, and their attitude was incredibly courteous, leaving Han Mingyuan at a loss for how to receive them.
"You don't need to stay with us, you can go and get back to work," several county magistrates said, noticing Han Mingyuan's restrained demeanor.
With these powerful figures around, how could Han Mingyuan dare to leave?
At this moment, Yunniang also got up. She peeked out and Han Mingyuan hurriedly went in and whispered, "It's the county magistrate. Quickly wake Xue'er up."
Although they say there's no need to shout, how can you really not shout?
Yunniang was also taken aback. When did her daughter gain such influence? She had just seen several county magistrates and their servants there.
Forget about the county magistrate; getting an audience with them was practically impossible. Even their servants were difficult for ordinary people to establish connections with.
Han Luoxue was also stunned when she heard the news. She had originally planned to rest for a few more days before going to town, but she did not expect so many people to be paying attention to her.
Oh, no, I mean I'm concerned about her food.
After tidying up briefly, Han Luoxue left with a calm expression.
"Miss Han, do you still have any grain at home?"
"That's right, we're all waiting for your food."
"The amount you bought last time was a bit small, but I still want to thank you for providing the food. Otherwise, I don't know how many more people would have died."
As soon as Han Luoxue came out, the group started chattering away. Seeing their enthusiasm, and knowing that food was a lifesaver, Han Luoxue didn't hesitate: "We still have some food, but I haven't had a proper rest since I just got back. I was planning to go to town in a few days."
"We can send someone over to pull it."
"That's right, Miss Han, the price is negotiable."
"By the way, Miss Han, I heard you have a type of sweet potato with a very short growth cycle and high yield. Many people in your village grow it. I wonder if you still have any of these sweet potato seedlings? If so, could you give some to our town?"
