Chapter 518: Second Brother, Don't Look at Me Like That
He knew that Wei Ruo had come to her today not just to hear him say that the situation in the court had changed.
"Second brother, I have recently shipped a lot of things to the capital." Wei Ruo's eyes were full of cunning, grinning, and showing a playful smile.
Recently, she has had a bumper harvest of rice and noodles in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, because the rice and noodles she harvested in the past two years are still hoarded, so this time the new harvest of rice and noodles, Wei Ruo arranged for people to transport a large number of rice and noodles to the north, and the two large warehouses of the Hejian Mansion Manor that she bought have been all piled up.
A while ago, Wei Ruo took the money from the Qi family and the Lu family to buy her medicine, and the warehouse in the city was also full.
"Hmm." Wei Jin also responded, waiting for Wei Ruo's follow-up.
"I want to stock up on some supplies in the backyard of the palace." Wei Ruodao.
"I said that you are in charge of the backyard of the palace, and you can do whatever you want." Wei Jin also.
"Also, I want to build a chicken farm and a duck farm outside the capital......" Wei Ruo continued.
"It's up to you." Wei Jin didn't have any opinions.
"But I need you to do me a favor in this matter......" Wei Ruo said.
If she just set up a chicken farm, Wei Ruo would naturally not look for Wei Jinyi, and she would have someone to get it herself.
"The government near the capital is strictly controlled, and farmers raise some chickens and ducks by themselves, and they say that I want to breed them on a large scale, but people don't agree. In particular, I had to buy a large plot of land with the village. Wei Ruo said, and then looked at Wei Jinyi.
In this case, Wei Ruo had to move out of Wei Jin Yilai, and then do it openly in the name of Rui Wangfu.
"yes, okay." Wei Jin didn't ask much, and agreed in one bite.
"When are you free?" Wei Ruo asked hurriedly.
"I'm free now."
"Then we'll go now." Wei Ruo immediately got up and pulled Wei Jin to go outside.
It wasn't until he left the door that Wei Ruo remembered that he had actually held Wei Jinyi's hand.
Wei Ruo turned his head, smiled awkwardly, and then let go of his hand.
Wei Ruo secretly blamed herself in her heart: Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo, what are you doing, even in the modern era where she once lived, there is no reason to take a man's hand casually!
Why did he unconsciously hold the second brother's hand now?
Even if you still think of him as an elder brother in your heart, you always have to avoid the suspicion that you should avoid!
Wei Ruo didn't know what was wrong with him, he was so unruly in front of Wei Jinyi.
In the past, she didn't have this in front of Xu Zhengyong!
Wei Jin also looked at the hand that was let go by Wei Ruo, and couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart.
However, he also knew that even if Ruo'er held his hand, he only subconsciously regarded him as his brother, and there was no other reason.
"If you want to go out, you need to change your clothes first." Wei Jin also took the initiative to speak, resolving the embarrassment.
"Yes, I was so excited that I forgot about this, then second brother, you go to the front to change your clothes first, and I will also go to change your clothes, and we will meet at the west gate in a while." Wei Ruo said busily.
"Hmm."
Then the two went back and changed their clothes.
Wei Ruo went out as Princess Rui this time, but still chose a relatively light dress.
And Wei Jin also needs to put a little white on his face to disguise himself as sick and weak.
After dressing up, the two took a carriage out of the city together, and on the way, Wei Ruo explained to Wei Jin why he wanted to open a chicken farm and a duck farm.
When she was in Taizhou Mansion, her chicken and duck meat were purchased from nearby villages, saving Wei Ruo the trouble of opening his own chicken farm, and also bringing benefits to the people in the village, killing two birds with one stone.
However, when I arrived in the capital, the situation changed slightly.
First, the shipment volume is large.
Eating chicken and duck is still a luxury for ordinary people, but there are many powerful people in the capital, and chicken, duck and fish are all there.
Some people think that the lo-mei in the lo-mei shop is good, so they directly ask the shop to deliver it to the house every day.
At present, more than a dozen door-to-door delivery orders have been received.
Not to mention that the sales of daily shops have also increased a lot.
Second, the supply is unstable.
The people near the capital are still different from the people outside the Taizhou Mansion, and there are many people who want to buy chickens and ducks they raise, including those in the palace, the princes' mansions, the powerful ministers, and the major restaurants.
In addition, because everyone's harvest has not been good in the past two years, there are fewer farmers raising chickens and ducks.
As a result, Wei Ruo's lo-mei shop not only failed to receive chickens and ducks stably, but the cost of procurement was also high.
Under such circumstances, Wei Ruo decided to open his own chicken and duck farm, which could not only stabilize the supply supply, but also reduce expenses.
Then Wei Ruo explained his plan to Wei Jin.
She wants to buy two plots of land, one for chickens and one for ducks.
When it comes to raising chickens, Wei Ruo takes a fancy to a small hill and a large flat clearing at the foot of the mountain.
After the entire hill and open space are fenced off, a breeding base is built, and the chickens are released into the mountain during the day, so that they can eat the insects, grass, and grass seeds on the mountain on their own.
In addition to insects, chickens and ducks should be fed some other foods every day, such as rice bran.
Wei Ruo's Zhuangzi has a large number of people who need to eat, and the daily consumption of a large amount of rice and noodles will produce a lot of bran, which used to be used for composting and feeding pigs in Taizhou's capital.
Now in the capital, Wei Ruo did not let people raise pigs in Zhuangzi, so the chaff produced in his Zhuangzi is currently only hoarded, which can be used to feed chickens and ducks.
Wei Ruo, the duck farm, took a fancy to a vacant land next to a rice field, and contracted it together with the rice field.
In this way, the ducks can be driven into the rice field during the day, so that the ducks can peck at the insects and weeds in the rice field, which can not only increase the activity of the ducks, solve some of the feed problems, but also help the rice grow better.
Of course, just like raising chickens, raising ducks also requires some extra feed, and it is not enough to eat insects in the rice fields.
But these costs are controllable.
It is also important to note that raising chickens and ducks can produce eggs and duck eggs stably, and eggs are one of the best ways for humans to obtain high-quality protein.
After Wei Ruo analyzed the reasons and plans for Wei Jin, he suddenly turned his head and saw Wei Jin looking at him with a doting face, and his eyes were so gentle that they could pour water.
Yes, that feeling, it's spoiled.
"Second brother, don't look at me like that." Wei Ruodao.
"Why?"
"You look at me like this, it always gives me a delusion......"
"What delusion?" Wei Jin also frowned slightly.
"That's it...... It's just ......" Wei Ruo thought about it, but didn't think of any suitable words, "Anyway, don't look at me like that." ”
It was strange to see that her heart was beating faster.
So Wei Jin also opened his head according to Wei Ruo's request.
Wei Ruo looked at it and felt a little too much, so he said: "I don't mean to hate you, it's just that my heart beats a little fast when you look at me like that." ”
Wei Jin was also startled and looked at Wei Ruo again......
