After his last experience, this time he took very small bites and chewed slowly.

He seemed to want to figure out why this stimulating taste appeals to Wei Ruo so much.

Wei Ruo looked at him curiously as he tried again.

Seeing that he wasn’t choking like the last time, she asked: “How is it?”

“It doesn’t taste delicious, but it’s not difficult to swallow.” Wei Jinyi commented.

“Then maybe you’ll love the flavor if you get a chance to eat it a few more times in the future.”

“En.”

“Because it was inconvenient to move, Wei Ruo stayed inside the pavilion of Yingzhu Garden all afternoon, and Xiumei helped her bring over some account books.

She and Wei Jinyi were sitting side by side. He was doing his work and she was doing her work without disturbing each other. During this time, they didn’t speak and got along very quietly.

Midway through, Wei Jinyi caught a glimpse of Wei Ruo’s handwriting on paper, which was incredibly immature, as if she had just practiced handwriting. The only person in the family who could compare with her handwriting was probably Wei Yilin, who was seven years old.

After having another dinner together in the evening, Wei Ruo was supported by Xiumei again, and bounced back to Tingsong Garden.

After Wei Ruo left, Wei Jinyi wrote a letter and handed it to Xiaobei to deliver it out of the mansion.

When he returned, Xiaobei brought a reply, saying that they would definitely take care of the task assigned by the young master.

After Grain Season*, the temperature picked up, but it was still a little lower than in previous years.

*Grain Season happens around June 5 every year when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 75 degrees. During this period, crops like barley and wheat all get mature and are waiting to be harvested. The farmer is getting back to the busy field work.

Some old farmers were already worried about this year’s harvest, and according to this situation, this year’s harvest was still not good, and may even be worse than the past two years.

After recuperating for a few days, Wei Ruo completely recovered. So she once again went to the wasteland in the south of the city.

The experimental site she selected had been weeded out, and the first batch of furfural residue* and humus* that had undergone sealed fermentation hydrolysis had been placed.

*Furfural residues are generally believed to improve the physical and chemical properties of saline soils with low fertility.

*humus: the organic component of soil, formed by the decomposition of leaves and other plant material by soil microorganisms.

These things were acidic, which can well neutralize the alkalinity of the saline-alkali soil, making the soil suitable for ordinary crops.

Wei Ruo arranged the long-term workers to carry out the second landfill of humus today.

The two long-term workers and Mo mo Zhang didn’t quite understand Wei Ruo’s arrangement, but they completed the work very well.

Today, Wei Ruo wanted to personally work at it, but she was persuaded by Mo mo Zhang, who told Wei Ruo to stay in the carriage. If there was anything she wanted to do, she could just give them orders.

Wei Ruo had no choice but to sit in the carriage and command the two long-term workers and Mo mo Zhang.

At noon, Wei Ruo sat under the camphor tree next to the experimental field to rest, with Xiumei on her left and Mo mo Zhang on her right. The two long-term workers were at the farther side of a small river.

Xiumei took out the lunch she had prepared before she went out: Braised pork belly with rice and a pile of braised choy sum.

For the same lunch, Wei Ruo also prepared a portion for Mo mo Zhang and two long-term workers, each in a separate food box.

Xiumei gave a portion to Mo mo Zhang and then walked to the small river to give the other two portions to Agui and Xiaoba.

Mo mo Zhang and the two long-term workers who received the food box were stunned.

The eldest young lady actually prepared a portion for them servants!

“Don’t just look, hurry up and eat. It’s already this time of the day, if you don’t eat enough, you won’t have the strength to work.” Wei Ruo said to the three people.

The three of them regained their senses, quickly put down the steamed corn bread they bought, and opened the food box given by Wei Ruo.

There was meat! Big chunks of meat!

The eyes of Mo mo Zhang and the two long-term workers burst with excitement.
