The managers of the inner and outer courtyards need to be trusted. The outer courtyard is currently managed by an old man named Su Anping who was transferred from the manor by Su Wenyue, while Cheng Hai is in charge of the guards.

"Madam, do you have any instructions?" Seeing that Nanny Li was urging him, Su Changping thought that Madam had something urgent to do, so he quickly put down what he was doing and came over.

Su Wenyue briefly told Su Changping about her ideas and asked Su Changping for his opinion. It was not that she didn't have any plans in mind, but she had never done these things before. It would be good to gain more experience so that she could be more thorough.

"It's easy, but we have to hurry because winter bamboo shoots grow in the ground. Fortunately, it snowed yesterday and stopped today, and the sun is out again. If it snows again, the ground will be covered with ice and the soil will be frozen, making it difficult to dig bamboo shoots."

"What Manager Su said makes sense. I just thought of it, so I called Manager Su over to discuss what to do best."

"According to my opinion, it depends on how many bamboo shoots Madam wants. If it's not much, I will take a few servants with me and hire a few farmers to dig for a few days. If it's too much, it's best to spread the news and let the locals dig and send them to us. We will buy them. This way, we will have enough time and the cost will not be too high. After all, there are a lot of bamboo shoots growing in the bamboo forest, and no one likes to eat them. In the past, they were just left to rot in the fields. Now is the slack season, and the farmers are idle at home. Who wouldn't be happy to have more income? As long as we pay some grain to buy them, a lot of people will send them to us."

"Since you've called Manager Su here, the quantity they want will naturally not be small. So let's follow the method below. I'll leave this matter to you, Manager Su. Harvest as much as you can before it snows. Don't be afraid of too much." Su Wenyue said this. After all, an old man like Manager Su was experienced. She had never thought of this method of purchasing. She had originally thought of asking Manager Su to hire people to dig bamboo shoots. This was indeed a good idea. Not only did it save time and effort, but it also reduced costs.

"If you come across any mountain products for sale in the countryside, I'll take them back if they're suitable. I'll have other uses for them."

"I'll do it right away." Su Changping received the order and immediately went to do the matter without any delay. After all, in such weather, who knows when it will snow. He would feel more at ease if he could get things done sooner.

Arranging Su Changping to go out to harvest bamboo shoots was only the first step. There were more things to do next. First, Nanny Li sent someone to order a batch of clay pots and large jars. The rest was to arrange people to make bamboo shoot products. Su Wenyue called Shuqin and Aunt Feng over to discuss the matter. Almost all the methods and specific matters of making bamboo shoots were implemented. Even in such a cold day, the Han family was busy in full swing.

Good news also came from Xiaoxi. The vegetables in the greenhouse on the farm were growing well. A batch of vegetables could be produced before the New Year, which would be just right for Su Wenyue to give as a New Year gift.

"I was originally wondering how could we grow fresh vegetables in such a cold winter, and I thought Madam's method was not very reliable. I didn't expect Xiaoxi to really help Madam to do it. It's really amazing." When Nanny Chen found out, she sighed. With this piece of fresh vegetables, this year's New Year gift was much more colorful.

Su Wenyue was in a very good mood at the moment. Good things had happened to her one after another recently. Seeing Nanny Chen like this, she smiled and said, "It's nothing strange. Everything that can be accomplished has a certain reason. Besides, this is not something I came up with myself. I read it in a book."

In fact, Su Wenyue learned this in her previous life, mostly thanks to Concubine Li. It was Concubine Li who came up with this method, and later it was widely used. It was no longer a strange thing, but it just hasn't appeared yet.

Considering that Concubine Li was about the same age as her, she had no fame at this time. It was the same in her previous life. Her fame only became known after a year or two. Su Wenyue actually found this a bit strange. After all, a person who had been unknown for more than ten years could suddenly change his temperament and become so stunning. It was really hard to figure out the reason. This situation actually had some similarities with her current self.

After the experience of rebirth, Su Wenyue thought more and became more sensitive. In her previous life, she only felt that Concubine Li was quite mysterious, and she admired and regretted her more. Now she was curious about Concubine Li's origins. Could it be that Concubine Li also had such a bizarre experience as hers? Were those skills and talents really Concubine Li's own, or was she just imitating her?

As for the city, Han Yu arrived early and it was still morning when he arrived in Yiyang Prefecture. He went to Deng Tong first and learned the news about the house from Deng Tong.

"Brother Deng, I didn't expect to meet you again so soon. I'm sorry to bother you again this time."

"What are you talking about? Brother Han and I are friends, so why would I bother you? It just so happened that I found out that someone wanted to sell a house, so I was cautious and came to take a look. I think this house is really nice, but it's a bit big. I wonder if you can use such a big house. The house with four entrances is originally built quite spacious, and it also has a back garden. There are three or four acres of vacant land next to the backyard. I think your sister-in-law is hardworking, so if you are willing, let the servants cultivate it and grow some fruits and vegetables."

After hearing what Deng Tong said, Han Yu was already somewhat willing in his heart. Many of the conditions met his wife's requirements. The next step was just to look at the location and price of the house. If it was suitable, he could buy it early and deal with the next things, which would put his wife at ease.

"I'll take you to have a look. It's also a good opportunity for me to communicate with the owner and we can then see if it's suitable. If not, we can look for another one." Deng Tong said as he took Han Yu there. The house was not far from where he lived. It was only a quarter of an hour's ride by carriage and it was relatively close to the main street, otherwise he would not have been interested in it.

The owner of the house had received the news and was waiting there: "To be honest, if it weren't for the difficult times in this world, I wouldn't be willing to sell this property left by my parents. It took a lot of effort to build this house, and I invited famous craftsmen from Chang'an City to help build it."

Han Yu walked around the house and was basically satisfied with it, except for some minor details which he could modify later. There were no major problems. After negotiating with the owner, the price was also reasonable, so Han Yu decided to buy it without hesitation. After all, such things can only be encountered by chance, and it is not easy to come across such a suitable one again. Don't hesitate and end up losing it by someone else.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Master, it's done. The house has been bought by Han Yu, and the transfer procedures have been completed at the government office. We just need to redecorate and clean it before we can move in."
