“Understood.” Manager Liu affirmed.

On the other side, Chang Shun found Zhou Ying and asked, “Mistress, I see that the ground is quite wet. Should we plant some winter wheat?”

“Are there any more seeds in the manor?” Zhou Ying asked.

“I’ve left some, but not much—only about ten acres worth.

“They’re the seeds from the year before last, and they didn’t grow well. I’m afraid it won’t be acceptable.”

Zhou Ying pondered for a moment and said, “Then pick the seeds carefully. Find the big and whole ones—plant as many seeds as possible.

“For the rest of the land, I’ll give you some vegetable seeds later. You can plant them all. If people can’t finish eating them, you can store them to feed the cattle and sheep.”

“Okay, then I’ll go down and get people to fertilize the land.” Chang Shun turned around and left after he finished speaking.

Zhou Ying found Gu Chengrui, who was drying the sweet potatoes in the field. The two of them greeted the Third Prince and Zhou Huaiming before going home.

After the two entered the inters.p.a.ce at night, Zhou Ying collected all the white potatoes. After was.h.i.+ng the remaining potato vines, she dried them in the drying area.

She collected some duck eggs and bird’s nests too.

After she was done, she packed two sacks of white potatoes and planned to send them to Zhao Cheng and the others in town.

On the other end, Gu Chengrui, who had finished feeding various livestock, came back and understood her intention. He said, “Take out two more bags of the gra.s.s noodles I ground before. I guess they don’t have much food left.” “That’s true. Give them 20 pounds of beef oil, 20 pounds of beef, and some amount of dried vegetables.” Zhou Ying proposed and prepared the items.

After that, the two butchered all the mature cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, and ducks and stored them in the warehouse.

The following day, Gu Chengrui carried a carriage full of goods to town. Zhou Ying carried 10 pounds of cabbage seeds, 10 pounds of snow barley seeds, and several rapeseed and spinach seeds and headed to the manor.

When she arrived at the manor, she handed them over to Chang Shun, and everyone began getting busy.

“I didn’t expect you to have so many vegetable seeds,” Manager Liu said as he walked over.

“At the beginning of summer, when Manager Qiu of the seed shop was closing, I bought all the seeds at a low price.” Zhou Ying added, “By the way, do you want some? You can plant it in your manor. Although it’s a little late in the season, planting these vegetables is still doable.”

Manager Liu recalled that she had gone to the seed store many times to buy all kinds of vegetable seeds, so he believed her and said, “Sure, give me as much as you can.”

“Okay, I’ll come again in the afternoon.” Zhou Ying turned around to leave.

Manager Liu quickly stopped her. “Wait a minute. I’m looking for you as I need your help.”

“Please speak.”

“I want to buy two cattle from you and ask you to make some marinated beef, beef jerky, and other easy-to-bring cooked food for the Third Prince and the others to eat on the way.”

“Oh, they’re leaving so quickly?”

“Yes, they’re leaving the day after tomorrow. They have to rush to the south.

“By the way, inform the old farmers who know how to plant sweet potatoes to prepare to leave with the Third Prince. It’ll be about two months before they return, so tell them to prepare.”

As soon as Zhou Ying heard this, she knew he wasn’t here to inform the old farmers but to inform her.

After all, the manor was busy planting seeds. If a dozen or so old farmers were to leave at once, it would definitely affect the work of the manor.

“Okay, I’ll come over tomorrow morning.” She nodded.

After Zhou Ying exchanged a few words with him, she found Chang Shun and let him inform the old farmers. After that, she solemnly instructed, “To prevent the potatoes from not acclimatizing to their new place, remember to ask the farmers to bring some soil with them when they leave. It can save the potatoes if there’s any trouble..”
