A Blessed Daughter

Chapter 518: Second brother, don’t look at me like that

He knew that Wei Ruo came to her today not just to hear what he said about the changes in the situation in the court.

"Second brother, I have shipped a lot of things to the capital recently." Wei Ruo's eyes were cunning, and he grinned with a playful smile.

Recently, she has had a bumper harvest of rice and noodles in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Because she is still hoarding the rice and noodles she harvested in the past two years, Wei Ruo arranged for people to transport a large amount of the new harvest of rice and noodles to the north. She has already purchased the rice and noodles in Hejian. The two large warehouses in the Manor were full.

A while ago, the warehouse Wei Ruo set up in the city with the money from the Qi family and the Lu family to buy her medicine was also full.

Yeah. Wei Jin also responded, waiting for Wei Ruos follow-up.

I want to store some supplies in the backyard of the palace. Wei Ruodao.

"I said you have the final say in the palace's backyard. You can do whatever you want." Wei Jinyi.

And I want to build a chicken farm and a duck farm outside the capital city... Wei Ruo continued.

"You can make the decision." Wei Jin didn't have any objection.

"But I need you to help me with this matter..." Wei Ruodao.

If it were just to set up a chicken farm, Wei Ruo would naturally not ask Wei Jinyi. She would have someone with money to do it herself.

"The government control around the capital is very strict. It's okay for farmers to raise some chickens and ducks by themselves. I want to raise chickens and ducks on a large scale, but others don't agree. Especially I have to buy a large piece of land from the village." Wei Ruo said, and then looked at Wei Baally. Jin Yi.

In such a situation, Wei Ruo would have to move out of Wei Jin Yi Lai, and then do it openly and openly in the name of Prince Rui's Mansion.

"Yeah, okay." Wei Jin didn't ask any more questions and agreed immediately.

When are you free? Wei Ruo asked hurriedly.

Im free now.

"Then let's set off now." Wei Ruo stood up immediately, pulled Wei Jinyi and went outside.

It wasn't until he left the room that Wei Ruo remembered that he had held Wei Jinyi's hand.

Wei Ruo turned around, smiled awkwardly, and then let go of his hand.

Wei Ruo secretly blamed herself in her heart: Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo, what did you do? Even in the modern era she lived in, there was no reason to hold a man's hand casually!

Why did you unconsciously hold your second brother's hand now?

Even if you still regard him as your elder brother in your heart, you should always avoid the suspicion that you should avoid!

Wei Ruo didn't know what was wrong with him, so he became so unruly in front of Wei Jinyi.

She had never been like this in front of Xu Zhengyong before!

Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo's hand that was let go, and couldn't help but feel disappointed.

However, he also knew that even if Ruoer held his hand, she only subconsciously regarded him as his brother, and there was no other reason.

You need to change your clothes before you go out. Wei Jin also took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment.

"Yes, I was so excited that I forgot all this. Second brother, you go ahead and change your clothes. I will also change my outfit. We will meet at the west gate in a while." Wei Ruo said hurriedly.

"Um."

Then the two of them went back and changed their clothes.

Wei Ruo went out as Princess Rui this time, but she still chose relatively light clothes.

As for Wei Jin, he also needed to put some white on his face to pretend to be sick.

After dressing up, the two took a carriage and headed out of the city. On the way, Wei Ruo explained to Wei Jin why he wanted to open a chicken farm and a duck farm.

Her braised food shop needs a stable supply. When she was in Taizhou Prefecture, she purchased chicken and duck meat from nearby villages, which saved Wei Ruo the trouble of opening a chicken farm by herself and could also bring food to the people in the village. Come and gain, kill two birds with one stone.

But when we arrived in the capital, the situation changed slightly.

First, the shipment volume has increased. Eating chicken and duck is still a luxury for ordinary people, but there are many powerful people in the capital, and chicken, duck, fish and meat are all available.

Some people think that the braised food in a braised food shop is good, so they just ask the shop to deliver the food to their house every day.

At present, we have received more than ten door-to-door delivery orders.

Not to mention that the sales of daily stores have also increased a lot.

Second, the supply of goods is unstable.

The people near the capital are still different from the people outside Taizhou Prefecture. Many people want to buy the chickens and ducks they raise, including those in the palace, in the palaces of princes, dignitaries and ministers, and in major restaurants.

In addition, because everyones harvest has been poor in the past two years, there are fewer farmers raising chickens and ducks.

As a result, Wei Ruo's braised food shop was not only unable to receive chickens and ducks stably, but the procurement cost was also high.

Under such circumstances, Wei Ruo decided to open his own chicken and duck farm, which could not only stabilize the supply but also reduce expenses.

Then Wei Ruo explained his plan to Wei Jinyi.

There are two pieces of land she wants to buy, one for raising chickens and one for raising ducks.

When it came to raising chickens, Wei Ruo took a fancy to a hill and a large flat open space at the foot of the hill.

After enclosing the entire hill and open space, build a breeding base, put the chickens on the mountain during the day, and let them eat bugs, grass, and grass seeds on the mountain.

In addition to bugs, chickens and ducks also need to be fed other foods, such as rice bran, on a daily basis.

There are a large number of people in Wei Ruo's village who need to eat. They consume a lot of rice and flour every day, which will produce a lot of bran. In the past, the two major uses of these bran in Taizhou Prefecture were to compost and feed pigs.

Here in the capital, Wei Ruo has not let people raise pigs in his village, so the chaff produced in his village is just being stored, which can be used to feed chickens and ducks.

The duck farm Wei Ruo was interested in an open space next to a rice field and contracted it together with the rice field.

In this way, ducks can be driven into the rice fields during the day and allowed to peck at insects and weeds in the rice fields. This can not only increase the activities of the ducks, solve part of the feed problem, but also help the rice grow better.

Of course, just like raising chickens, raising ducks also requires some extra feed. Just eating bugs in the rice fields is not enough.

But these costs are controllable.

Another very important point is that raising chickens and ducks can produce eggs and duck eggs stably. Eggs are one of the best ways for humans to obtain high-quality protein.

After Wei Ruo analyzed the reasons and plans for Wei Jinyi, he suddenly turned his head and saw Wei Jinyi looking at him with a doting look on his face, and his eyes were so gentle that they could water.

Yes, that feeling is pampering.

Second brother, dont look at me like that. Wei Ruodao.

Why?

When you look at me like this, you always give me an illusion...

What illusion? Wei Jin also frowned slightly.

"Just...just..." Wei Ruo thought for a while, but couldn't think of a suitable word, "Anyway, don't look at me like that."

Her heartbeat couldn't help but beat a little faster, which was strange.

So Wei Jin also turned his head away as Wei Ruo asked.

Wei Ruo looked at it and felt that it was too much, so she said: "I don't mean to hate you, it's just that my heart beats a little faster when you look at me like that."

Wei Jin was also startled and looked at Wei Ruo again...
