"Greenhouse? What's that?" Rong Hua had never heard of it before, and he was completely confused by everything Rong Sheng had just said.
Rong Sheng knew that Rong Hua didn't quite understand, so he slowly began to explain to Rong Hua what a greenhouse is, how to build a greenhouse, how to improve the soil quality of a greenhouse, how to grow different varieties of vegetables, fruits or grains in a greenhouse, and how to store the grains in a greenhouse, etc.
He also explained in detail to Ronghua the differences between the greenhouse and the outside.
Ronghua's eyes lit up as she listened, eager to try it immediately.
Moreover, Rong Sheng's description was incredibly vivid. He quickly constructed an image of a greenhouse in his mind, imagining himself inside, personally planting grains, vegetables, or fruits, watching them grow into edible forms, and envisioning the satisfaction that greenhouse farming would bring him. He also imagined seeing many people visiting the greenhouse and praising his method of building greenhouses for growing grains!
“But brother, the greenhouses take up a huge area. If you want to use your family’s land, your clan’s land, or land from other villages to build the greenhouses, you’ll need a lot of money. You know how much an acre of land costs in Wenhong County, and how vast the land is. So what you and your third brother need most right now is money! A lot of money!” Rong Sheng said helplessly. “So brother, if you really want to do it, you must first calculate the accounts. Only after you’ve calculated them will we know how much money we need and how much we can prepare!”
Rong Sheng's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Rong Hua's head, chilling her to the bone and causing her brain to shut down and become inoperable.
“Silver? Over the years, I haven’t saved much money. It’s not enough to buy or rent land, build greenhouses, and so on!” Rong Hua said.
Rong Sheng laughed and said, "But Sheng Bao has a way. Has Big Brother forgotten what Sheng Bao does? I've treated quite a few patients lately. I didn't charge any of the patients except the poor, but I did charge the wealthy! Although I don't have much money, Sheng Bao has something that can help Big Brother save up money quickly!"
"What method?" Rong Hua asked expectantly.
He really didn't want to miss this opportunity. As Sheng Bao said, he would try it and see. If it didn't work, he would say no. Right now, he had to seize this opportunity. As long as his parents saw it and his clansmen knew that he hadn't done anything reckless, that would be enough!
“I have a lot of rouge and face powder. I’ve already asked my third brother to sell it. Just now, when you and Father went to heat the bathwater, my third brother told me about the rouge and face powder. I priced a set of rouge and face powder at one hundred taels of silver! But with the help of Miss Su Wenlan, my third brother successfully sold the rouge and face powder for one hundred taels of silver! If you and your eldest brother have some free time, you can take the rouge and face powder out to sell, and you’ll be able to save up a lot of money in no time! One hundred taels of silver for a set of rouge and face powder is no small amount!” Rong Sheng said.
"What?" Rong Hua was shocked by Rong Sheng's words: "Sheng Bao, are you trying to fool Big Brother?"
"Big brother, if you don't believe me, you can ask third brother later, and you'll know for sure!" Rong Sheng said with a smile.
"..." Seeing that Rong Sheng didn't speak, Rong Hua's heart became complicated. Sure enough, he was the most useless one in this family, so he had to seize this opportunity and make a big splash, otherwise he would be doomed!
"Shengbao, I know I'm useless, but you helped me today. I've fulfilled my dream and gained the approval of our parents and everyone else. I will repay you!"
It's not just about repaying money, but also about repaying a lifetime of kindness. Although the siblings can overlook these things, he can repay Shengbao in his own way, such as by giving Shengbao a generous dowry, or by providing Shengbao with the fruits, vegetables, or grains she wants.
In short, he will do everything in his power to do anything for Shengbao! He wants Shengbao to live a happy, peaceful, and fulfilling life!
"Big brother, you don't need to do this. We're family! Besides, second and third brothers have already accepted my help. But this is all I can do for you. The rest is up to you to work hard! If you don't try, then everything will be in vain, just like talking on paper, which is useless! So, big brother, keep going!"
"Shengbao, seeing you like this really touches my heart, and I feel like crying too!" Rong Hua's dark eyes welled up with tears, but he didn't want to cry in front of Rong Sheng, so he held back.
"Big brother, don't cry yet! Cry after you succeed!" Rong Sheng said with a smile. "But big brother, when will you be able to finish dealing with Han Chan and her brother? I think they rely on you a lot, so it's probably not very likely that you'll go with Third Brother to sell cosmetics! Why don't you wait until Han Chan and her brother's matter is resolved before you go with Third Brother?"
"The matter of Han Chan and her brother... actually, the matter is almost resolved. The county magistrate is investigating to see if anyone else in Xiagui Village has bullied their family, or if there are any other families as pitiful as the siblings. The case may be closed in a few days, and then those people will be punished, and the siblings can go home!"
“Then you can decide for yourself, brother. Because Third Brother has to work at Xiaoxiang Pavilion during the day and doesn’t have time to sell rouge and powder, he only sells them at night. You can talk to Third Brother tomorrow and I will put all the rouge and powder in the room so you can take them to sell! It will still be one hundred taels of silver per set, no bargaining!” Rong Sheng said.
Ronghua said, "Okay, tomorrow my eldest brother and third brother will discuss it. Shengbao, you can focus on treating patients and saving lives."
Rong Sheng left Rong Hua's room and returned to her own room. She exchanged all eight medical virtue points she had accumulated that day for cosmetics. The system had previously said that one medical virtue point could be exchanged for one hundred sets of cosmetics, so eight medical virtue points could be exchanged for eight hundred sets of cosmetics. If all of them were exchanged for money, that would be eighty thousand taels of silver!
There won't be any problem if the eldest brother uses the money to buy land or the third brother buys Xiaoxiang Pavilion. It just depends on when the third brother and his group sell these eight hundred sets of cosmetics.
But these 800 sets of cosmetics take up a lot of space, but luckily the room is very big.
With preparations nearly complete, and knowing that Gu Beiyi had been extremely busy lately and probably wouldn't come to see her tonight, Rong Sheng didn't wait for him and went to bed early.
In fact, Gu Beiyi was indeed very busy because a snow disaster had occurred throughout the north, and he had to use a great deal of resources to distribute grain to various prefectures, counties, towns, and villages in the north and deliver it to the people.
Worried that his subordinates might not perform their duties well, Gu Beiyi was very concerned and had the people from Wuyinglou supervise them. However, protecting the people of the entire North would be very difficult. Next year, people in both the North and the South would face great hardship because all the grain would be used to support the people in the North, causing grain prices in both the North and the South to soar.
The merchants made money, but the ordinary people suffered.
