Chapter 178 - 175: The Vision Is Beautiful, but Some Details Remain Difficult
"I think it’s doable. You have so many materials in your space you can’t even count them! Zero-cost trading is the best!"
For everything, you can’t be too hasty. Take it one step at a time, slowly.
Back when they first fled to the valley, they had nothing.
Now that the valley is developed, it’s formed into orderly villages.
The surrounding mountains and land have been gradually cultivated by everyone together, creating quite the lively atmosphere.
Once the road between Wuheng and Lanqiang Town is fully completed, their path to wealth will open up even more.
Everyone will lead a better life.
The vision is beautiful, but some details are still fraught with difficulty.
Like now.
Upon seeing the ginseng sprouts, the eldest aunt immediately noticed something was wrong. She crouched down to dig up a plant to check, instantly furious, and picked up a handful of yellow soil to throw at Huang Laoer.
"You damn fool! How did I instruct you before? It’s hard enough to get sprouts, and now this root is about to rot?! How are you planting this!!"
Wang the Second saw it, his face changed dramatically, distraught: "How did this happen?"
After speaking, he grabbed a farmer in a fit of anger and kicked him: "It must be because you’re not planting properly! Did I hire you to eat and crap? All my precious roots are rotten!"
"Mr. Wang, spare us please, we strictly followed your instructions without the slightest neglect. We don’t know why this happened either..."
"You all..."
"Alright, Wang the Second! Why are you taking it out on them?"
The eldest aunt pulled him back forcefully, seizing the chance to wink at Ruan Mian.
Ruan Mian looked at those ginseng roots and couldn’t help chuckling.
She understood the aunt’s intentions immediately, crossed her arms, and spoke seriously.
"Mr. Wang, this matter is not to be taken lightly. Ginseng has suffered such a calamity, if not handled properly, these ginseng sprouts might all die."
"What?! But we did follow your planting methods, why did this happen? You should at least help us..."
"If you followed our methods, then surely there’d be no problem! But didn’t my methods mention to pay attention to the weather, watering, and various details? If any one of these is neglected, it can very likely lead to this result!"
"Also, do you think planting ginseng is as simple as planting corn? If it were that easy, everyone would be doing it!"
"Ginseng is precious because it’s difficult to cultivate; every aspect requires careful attention!"
When the eldest aunt spoke, Wang the Second suppressed his anger deep within.
After all, he thought Jun Lan made good points.
Now at a loss: "Then... Then what should I do? You have experience, there must be a solution, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have grown so much!"
The eldest aunt kicked him: "Of course there’s a solution, it’s just a bit troublesome."
"These rotting roots aren’t completely gone, so there’s time to save them. You need to use corresponding medicinal fertilizers to repair them."
"Then... then hurry and prepare them for me!"
"Who are you? Just because you say so, we’ll prepare it? Is Mianmian’s time not time, or her energy not energy?!"
Wang the Second smiled sheepishly: "Jun Lan, I do fancy you, but you can’t trick me like this. Just tell me directly, how much silver do you want?"
"You really think we’re lacking your few pieces of silver!!"
The eldest aunt raised her chin high, rolled her eyes.
"We don’t care about silver, we want to sell herbs in Wu City. Previously, I couldn’t go because your brother strongly opposed; now that your brother is in jail, surely you can decide, right?"
Wang the Second was overjoyed: "I wondered what it was! Just this? No problem at all!! If you want to sell herbs in Wu City, I’ll write a recommendation letter for you shortly and get my brother’s men to clear out, ensuring Jun Lan can pass through smoothly."
With that, the eldest aunt nodded with satisfaction: "That’s much better. It’s settled then, our Mianmian will go back and prepare the medicine today."
"Alright, alright!"
Seeing Wang the Second’s demeanor, the eldest aunt had him handled effortlessly.
On the way back to the city, the eldest aunt couldn’t help but laugh out loud: "Mianmian, did you see that? Wang the Second now is like a little ant, I can handle him however I want."
"Did aunt not tell them that the fertilizer needs to be matured organic fertilizer?"
The eldest aunt squinted and smiled: "The method didn’t specifically say if it’s organic or inorganic fertilizer, it’s alright to make him anxious. Besides, my path to selling herbs in Wu City is now clear!"
"Though he agreed before, if his uncle questioned, sure he’d dodge the blame, but now we have this fair trade, and his personal recommendation letter, if anyone wants to investigate, he’s the one facing it!"
"Selling herbs in Wu City, we can leverage his connections and his name’s protection, isn’t it perfect?"
This aunt of hers, really clever.
It’s just a pity she doesn’t have much of a golden touch; if given a space, she’d probably be even more stormy than Ruan Mian.
As they passed by some general stores, seeing the red silk and other festive items inside, Ruan Mian couldn’t help but stop and take a closer look.
The eldest aunt raised an eyebrow, asked with deep meaning: "What’s wrong? Planning to buy these? Weren’t we done with Jing’s birthday feast last time?"
Ruan Mian smiled calmly and said: "It’s not for Jing’s birthday feast; it’s for my wedding banquet; might need these."
"Ah? Wedding?" Seeing her aunt’s puzzled face, Ruan Mian simply told her about marrying Xie Huai’an.
Upon hearing this news, the eldest aunt raised both hands in approval!
"Wonderful, Mr. Xie is quite the handsome man!! Young and strong, yet elegant and gentlemanly, and he’s attentive to you. Even though he’s demoted and without much money now, you have it! You can support him instead!!"
"He handles domestic affairs, you handle external ones! What a blessed match!"
The eldest aunt didn’t wait for Ruan Mian to speak, quickly rushed inside, raising her hands: "Shopkeeper!"
"This, this, and this, those, these, wrap them all up for me! I want them all!"
The aunt went in and picked, wanting to buy all the shop’s items.
"Aunt, this is too much; just keep it simple."
"How is this too much? Keep it simple, nothing that’s supposed to be saved shall be saved!"
"Previously, you encountered that scoundrel Qi Nanfeng; married, he left you on the wedding day! Made you waste away at the Qi Mansion for three years. Now you have a new beginning, naturally, you must truly be yourself again! Make everything bring you joy."
"Your aunt has snatched quite a bit of silver from the Wang Brothers, she’s not short on cash! Also, the silver from renting out our lavatory gets quite a bit every month!"
She didn’t just buy these decorations, but personally picked out two baskets of wedding candies, as well as high-grade fish and meat.
