Yu Jiao added, "I partnered with someone to buy some grain and opened a grain store in Qixun County. Sister Fuling helped look after the grain store in Qixun County."
"No wonder..." Song and Yu Mengshan could not help but sigh in their hearts. Yu Jiao opened a grain store on her own without showing off. No wonder she stayed in Xixun County for so long. Fuling came back some time ago and helped her keep the matter of the grain store a secret.
"Have you told your uncle's family about your grain shop?" Song asked.
Yu Jiao shook her head. "Not yet. They are short of manpower over there. I saw that Third Brother was also anxious to find work, so I wanted to ask him to go over and help. It would be more reassuring to have our own people."
Song nodded, "Zhi Zhou is a down-to-earth person, so it would be more convenient to have him take care of us."
Yu Mengshan said with some emotion, "I have lived for most of my life, but I am not as good as Yu Jiao. If you were a boy, it would be terrible."
Yu Jiao smiled. She just took advantage of the chance of living a second life. If she was a native of Taiyan, her thoughts and values would be shaped by this world. It was hard to say what she would be like. Maybe she would just be an ordinary woman.
There was a noise in the courtyard. After a while, Yu Qiaoshan came to the east room and said, "Second brother, sister-in-law, I sent Qi Zhe to the residence of County Magistrate Gao. County Magistrate Gao arranged for servants and carriages to send Qi Zhe to the capital. He left and we came back."
Hearing that County Magistrate Gao had made such a thorough arrangement, Song and Yu Mengshan felt relieved. Yu Mengshan handed the paper in his hand to Yu Qiaoshan and said, "Brother, this is what Yu Jiao wrote. We can try to find these herbs in the mountains first, and transplant them to the fields to see if they can survive."
Yu Qiaoshan took the paper, read it carefully, and his eyes lit up, "Thank you for your hard work, little girl Meng."
"It's nothing." Yu Jiao said, "I'm still busy in Qiyun County, and I can't help much with the village's medicinal herbs. If you have any questions, just write to me."
Yu Qiaoshan folded the paper carefully, put it in front of his chest, and said, "Okay, are you leaving today?"
Yu Jiao nodded.
Yu Zhizhou also came over with his bag on his back, "Sister Yu Jiao, I've packed it."
"Zhi Zhou said you found him a job in Qiyun County, so it would be a good idea for you to go there together." Yu Qiaoshan said, "Are you leaving now? Then I'll go feed the horses some grass."
After saying that, he went out and hurried to feed the horses.
"Dad, let me do it." Yu Zhizhou chased after him.
Yu Jiao took out her luggage and medical box from the side room, and Song helped to carry them and put them on the carriage. After Yu Zhizhou fed the horses and said goodbye to the people from the first and second wives, Yu Zhizhou drove the car and the two of them left Qingyu Village.
Yu Jiao took out Si Sheng's book, leaned back in the carriage, flipped through the book, and occasionally made some marks with a pen.
Yu Zhizhou had never been to Xixun County, so after leaving Changkui County, he needed Yu Jiao to show him the way. While reading a book, Yu Jiao would lift the carriage curtain from time to time to show Yu Zhizhou the way, so time passed quite quickly along the way.
Yu Zhizhou seldom drove a carriage, so the two of them rested for half an hour on the way, had some food, and then continued on their journey.
After Yu Jiao got on the carriage, she stopped reading and talked about the grain shop with Yu Zhizhou.
"Third brother, there is something I want to tell you." Yu Jiao said.
"You say." Yu Zhizhou was outside the car, driving as he spoke.
Yu Jiao said, "I'm inviting you to work in Qixun County. Actually, I opened a grain store with someone else. If you're willing to be an accountant, you can work as an accountant in the grain store first. I've bought some land in Qixun County, and I may open an oil press in the future. If you're willing, you can help out in the oil press. I won't neglect your wages."
"Ouch~" Yu Zhizhou stopped his horse and turned back to look at the carriage, with a look of surprise on his face, "Sister Yu Jiao, are you saying that you opened a grain store in Qiyun County?"
Yu Jiao lifted the carriage curtain and apologized, "I'm really sorry for not telling you earlier. The money I make from seeing patients is too slow. I want to do business. Yesterday, I heard from my third brother about selling writing paper. I think you don't mind doing business. Sister Fuling and I are both women, so it's a bit inconvenient to do business, so I want to find someone who can help me."
Yu Zhizhou said hurriedly, "Although I have been studying for these years, I have always wanted to do business, but I just don't know where to start. Sister Yu Jiao, you are really amazing. You opened a grain store without making any noise!"
Yu Zhizhou couldn't hide his excitement. He whipped the horse and drove the carriage again, saying, "You still want to open an oil press? Can you make money? As long as you can make money, I'm willing to follow you! You can let me do anything!"
Yu Jiao chuckled. "It's hard to say whether the oil press can make money or not. Regardless of whether it makes a profit or a loss, I will pay you your wages."
She also talked to Yu Zhizhou about growing radish and using the seeds to make oil, so that he could understand what kind of business he wanted to do in the future.
"I think this business will be a success!" Yu Zhizhou seemed to be in high spirits. "It is said that salt, oil and charcoal are a sure-win business. Salt and charcoal are controlled by the government. Ordinary people eat meat oil, and soybean oil is expensive. If rapeseed oil is really as fragrant as you said when mixed with vegetables, makes candles very bright, and turns black and smooth when applied, there will be no worries about sales. The most important thing right now is to plant the hucai quickly."
Yu Jiao smiled and said, "You are right. I have asked Master Shen from Huichun Hall to help buy radish seeds. I should get news in a few days."
Yu Zhizhou became more and more excited. "If I had known that radish seeds could produce oil, I should have kept the radish I planted in my garden. I might have become a local tycoon."
Yu Jiao chuckled. Like Yu Zhizhou, she was looking forward to growing rapeseed. The fields in Xiyun County were moist, which not only provided a suitable planting environment, but rapeseed also had a strong growth capacity.
If you sprinkle a handful of radish seeds in the vegetable garden, you will be able to grow a large patch of it without having to fertilize or weed.
This season is just right for sowing, and the harvest can be made in May of next year.
These are the reasons why Yu Jiao made up her mind to buy a large amount of land to grow rapeseed.
