Gu Chengrui sat down and played with their son. Then, he asked about the situation in the village.

He learned that Feng Chun not only kept planting the wild roses and wild jujube well,

In the spring of last year, he planted many roses in the nearby mountains.

It was almost time to harvest those roses this year.

He also opened up some mountainous areas and planted sweet potatoes, broomcorn, soybeans, and other crops.

Now, he brought people to open up a cornfield.

Gu Chengrui reminded her, “If the newly opened land is not fertile enough, plant soybeans and sweet potatoes first. Only use last year’s land to grow corn.” “Corn is relatively more needy for good soil. Also, it can be subst.i.tuted for flour and rice.”

“Is corn that good?”

“Of course. I’m mainly in charge of agriculture in the capital. Besides, I’ve seen the planting techniques that Mother G.o.d gave us when she bestowed seeds.”

“I see. I’ll tell Feng Chun later.”

“Mhm, since you guys are doing well, I’m relieved. I’ll go back now.” Gu Chengrui stood up.

“Wait. It’s not easy for you to come here. You should at least eat here before leaving.” Gu Zishan said as she hugged her son.

“It’s fine; you guys are so busy. I’ll come over again when you’re more free.” Gu Chengrui politely refused, turned around, and walked out.

Then, he went straight to the restaurant in town.

“Boss, you’re here?” Zhao Cheng immediately greeted him when he saw him enter.

“Are you the manager now?” Gu Chengrui nodded and asked.

“Just temporary. It’s still Manager Sun managing most of the restaurant.”

“Then where did he go?”

“He said he was going to visit a manor. He should be back by noon.”

“Visit a manor?”

“Yes, Manager Sun said that it’s not stable for our business if vegetables are always bought from outsiders, so he wants to buy a manor to grow vegetables for the restaurant.”

“That’s pretty good.” Gu Chengrui nodded in agreement.

Then, he asked about the situation at the restaurant. After learning that business was good, he went to the back.

When Sun Hongliang came back and learned that Gu Chengrui had returned, he immediately went to the back and bowed. “Master, you’re back?”

Gu Chengrui put down the teacup and poured him a cup.

“Ah, thank you, Master.” Sun Hongliang replied and sat down. Noticing the tea was not hot, he drank it in one go.

Gu Chengrui saw that he was really thirsty, so he poured him a cup and asked, “I heard that you went to visit a manor. How was it? Is it suitable?”

“It’s okay. It’s 500 acres of high-quality farmland and close to the town.

“The key is that there’s an independent water wheel inside that can be used to water the paddy fields and dry land. It’s just a little expensive, costing 6,000 taels of silver.”

“It’s indeed a little expensive. That’s ten taels of silver per acre.”

“Yes, I want to stretch it a little more and see if it can be lowered.”

“Mhm, if it’s suitable in all aspects, don’t stretch it too much. By the way, did you buy the wasteland that Zhou Ying asked you to buy?” Gu Chengrui asked.

“I bought it.

“However, it’s a bit far. It’s a hundred acres of land at the bend upstream of the river.”

Gu Chengrui quickly remembered when he heard him say that. Wasn’t that the piece of land where Zhou Huaiming was rescued?

The terrain there was high, and there was a certain distance from the foot of the mountain. It was very safe, but too far away and a little troublesome to transport stuff from there.

After that, Sun Hongliang voiced his thoughts.

“I was thinking of directly crossing the river and using a small boat to transport the goods. As long as it’s not too far away, it won’t be a problem.”

“It’s good that you have an idea.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he told him that Zhou Ying wanted to open a vermicelli workshop, a tofu workshop, and even a chili oil workshop.

After that, the cook served four dishes. The two of them chatted about the details as they ate..
