Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 802 Difficulties
When they arrived at the front, they saw that Wang Da had already gone to open the door.

Sure enough, not long after, Zhu Xi appeared at the door with several carts loaded with grain.

Tang Wan took a few steps forward and saw Zhu Xi directing the villagers and Wang Da to unload the grain in an orderly manner.

Taking advantage of a lull in everyone's busyness, Tang Wan called Zhu Xi aside and asked in a low voice, "Have you checked the grain counts?"

"Don't worry, Miss. We checked the grain and accounts before we set off, and there's not a single grain out of 100,000 jin," Zhu Xi replied confidently.

Tang Wan nodded slightly, then instructed, "Alright. Once all the grain is stored, you and Wang Da should go to the grain brokerage and put the estate up for sale. As I mentioned yesterday, the price can be slightly lower than the market price."

"I understand, I'll get on it as soon as I'm done here," Zhu Xi replied readily.

Looking at the busy scene before her, Tang Wan realized that with Zhu Xi taking care of things, she didn't need to worry about anything anymore. So, Tang Wan returned to the main house and entered the space again.

Although my father said the trip could be postponed for half a month, now that I count, twenty days is enough time for me to gather the 500,000 catties of grain I owe the Zhao family, but it's never a bad thing to have more grain in reserve.

Especially at the Yu family's winery, the new wine relies on the sorghum grown in the space to achieve its current quality. After leaving Mobei, transportation would be troublesome, and we would have to make careful considerations. It would be more reassuring to leave more of it in Mobei now.

As soon as Tang Wan entered the space, she went straight to the fields.

She focused intently on cultivating the new fields.

Tang Wan stopped working after cultivating ten acres of new land in one go, slightly out of breath.

"Let's leave it at that for now," Tang Wan said to herself, feeling quite tired and not wanting to force herself.

Tang Wan then happily returned to the villa.

Tang Wan returned to the villa, drank the spiritual spring water, and was meditating when she suddenly heard Zhu Xi's voice from outside the main house: "Miss?"

She immediately composed herself, moved slightly, and returned to the inner room of the main house from the spatial dimension before replying, "Come in and report!"

Zhu Xi entered the inner room and said to Tang Wan with a smile, "Miss, the grain has been stored in the warehouse and the quantity has been verified."

"Thank you for your hard work." Tang Wanzhu Xi nodded slightly. After a moment's thought, she instructed, "Zhu Xi, go and tell Wang Da to get the carriage ready immediately. Then, you will come with me."

"Yes, Miss." Zhu Xi accepted the order and quickly left.

Taking advantage of the brief lull in Wang Da's cart, Tang Wan went alone to the warehouse in the backyard.

She also had an important task: to close the array on the warehouse.

This is an important step in ensuring food security. After all, there are only Wang Da and Wang Xiaohua in this yard. If someone really comes to steal things, they are absolutely unable to protect them.

Having done all this, Wang Da had prepared the carriage and parked it at the entrance of the house.

Tang Wan and Zhu Xi boarded the carriage together.

"Let's go to Yu's Winery first," Tang Wan said to Wang Da, who was driving. "Yes, mistress," Wang Da quickly replied.

The carriage stopped in front of the Yu family's winery. Tang Wan got out of the carriage alone and said to Wang Da and Zhu Xi, "Go directly to the brokerage and put those two estates up for sale. I'll say it again, the price can be slightly lower, and try to sell them within the next two days. If no one is interested, don't force it, just come back and report to me."

"Yes, Miss/Master!" Zhu Xi and Wang Da replied in unison.

Tang Wan walked into the winery, and the manager of the winery hurriedly went out to greet her when he saw her.

The steward, all smiles, bowed to Tang Wan and said, "Master, it's been quite a while since you've come! Please come in. I've already sent someone to invite the eldest young master. Please have a seat and wait a moment!"

The manager knew that the success of his family's new wine was largely due to the recipe and high-quality sorghum provided by the person in front of him.

Tang Wan smiled slightly and walked into the reception room with him to sit down.

After the steward instructed the maid to serve tea, the eldest son of the Yu family also strode over.

The steward bowed to his eldest son before taking his leave.

Tang Wan saw the eldest son of the Yu family and got straight to the point: "Young Master, I have something to tell you today. We will be returning to the capital soon, and I'm afraid we won't be able to come to the Northern Desert again."

Upon hearing this, Young Master Yu's smile froze, and he immediately showed a look of urgency: "This...this, Master, what will happen to the sorghum in our distillery now that you're leaving? I wonder where you got this sorghum? If our 'Jade Ice Burn' doesn't use the sorghum you provided, I'm afraid we won't be able to brew such an excellent wine."

This high-quality sorghum is the lifeblood of his distillery.

Moreover, I have tried using the same recipe but different sorghum to brew wine, and the result is that the aroma of the wine is quite different from the wine brewed with the sorghum provided by the master. It can be said that they are not even in the same league.

Seeing that the eldest son of the Yu family was so anxious, Tang Wan calmly reassured him, "Manager Yu, please calm down. Although I am leaving, our cooperation with your store may not necessarily end. I have made arrangements, and the sorghum will be stored in the residence in the prefecture on time."

She explained in detail: "At that time, you only need to send someone to the house to collect it from Wang Da, who is in charge. The quantity and quality will be the same as before."

After all, he would still have a 20% profit from the newly brewed wine, and selling sorghum would also generate some profit, so he wouldn't give it up and had to make proper arrangements.

Upon hearing this, Young Master Yu's heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled back into his stomach. He quickly expressed his gratitude, saying, "That's good, that's good! Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Master! I will certainly keep my promise! However, if Master goes to the capital, who will check the accounts of 'Jade Ice Burning'?"

Tang Wan was satisfied with the shopkeeper's reaction, and even more satisfied with his question about the account books. So she nodded slightly and said, "Just take the account books to the mansion and give them to Wang Da. I will arrange for someone else to look at the accounts. As for the profit sharing, I can keep it for now and write to the eldest young master whenever I need it, and he can give it to me then."

Young Master Yu felt it was inappropriate to take it first, but he couldn't think of any other way. Since the master hadn't said who to give it to, he didn't want to offer any random suggestions, so he just nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

Seeing that Young Master Yu had no objections, Tang Wan calmly brought up the question she had been thinking about on the way: "Young Master Yu, there is a difficulty that I need to explain to you in advance."

Upon hearing Tang Wan's words, Young Master Yu's heart, which had just settled, tightened again, and he hurriedly said, "Please speak, Master."

Tang Wan looked directly at the eldest son of the Yu family with clear and undisguised eyes, and said calmly, "I am about to leave the desert, and in the rush, the amount of sorghum I can reserve in the house is ultimately limited. Once this batch of grain is exhausted, the subsequent sorghum will have to be obtained from elsewhere. The desert is far away, and the cost of transportation and manpower will be considerable. In this way, the cost will probably be much higher than it is now."

The eldest son of the Yu family did not expect the master to say that, and suddenly looked at Tang Wan with a slight surprise in his eyes.

Updated! Thanks for your support!
