After distributing the dried red yams to the villagers, Wei Ruo took Xiumei to the distillery.
Wei Ruo brought along some refreshing pickled sour plums for everyone.
The work in the distillery was much more laborious than that in other small workshops, many of the tasks required manual labor, and they had to constantly face the scorching heat of the large boiler.
At such times, eating the dried yams which are dry and sticky to the teeth is naturally not easy to swallow; the crunchy plums were much more appropriate. Everyone, while munching on the plums, expressed their gratitude to Wei Ruo. “Boss, you’ve been really good to us!”
“Boss, rest assured, we will brew the alcohol as soon as we can!”
“That’S right, we will brew the alcohol as soon as we can to make you earn some silver!”
The more they talked, the more excited they became. They put aside the plums and returned to their workstations to continue working.
Wei Ruo smiled, then inspected the distillery, checking each process to ensure there were no mistakes.
After inspecting the progress of the distillery, Wei Ruo set off back to the Government City. She visited the braised food shop and the Four Treasure House, and then headed to Zuixian Residence.
Because Fan Chengxu had sent a message to her, saying that he needed to see her.
As soon as Wei Ruo stepped into the Zuixian Residence, the waiter warmly welcomed her in and led her to the private room on the second floor that was reserved for Fan Chengxu.
“Please wait a moment, young miss. I will inform the young master immediately.”
Wei Ruo nodded and then took a seat by the window.
Xiumei stood behind Wei Ruo and asked her in a low voice, “Miss, what do you think Boss Fan wants?”
Probably something to do with making money,” Wei Ruo speculated.
After working together for some time, Wei Ruo felt that Fan Chengxu was a genuine businessman who loves money. Mostly, he would put effort into something related to wealth.
I m worried, could it be that Boss Fan is interested in Zhu…”
After Wei Ruo had shared her suspicions with Xiumei last time, Xiumei had become somewhat fearful. Now that Fan Chengxu had invited them, Xiumei couldn’t help but overthink.
“It’s not very likely.” Wei Ruo’s intuition told her.
Furthermore, if it really was related to that person, she couldn’t avoid it even if she wanted to.
Therefore, Wei Ruo agreed to come after receiving the message and pondering for a while.
Wei Ruo didn’t have to wait long before Fan Chengxu arrived. He was dressed in a green satin robe, and he was never without his folding fan.
As soon as Fan Chengxu entered the room, he greeted Wei Ruo with a beaming smile. “Young Master Xu, it’s been a long time.”
“Boss Fan.” Wei Ruo stood up to greet him.
“Please sit, Young Master Xu. There’s no need to be formal.” Fan Chengxu took a seat opposite Wei Ruo and poured her a cup of tea, “This is the new Longjing tea of this year. Please have a taste, Young Master Xu.”
Wei Ruo didn’t reach for the tea, but asked, “Boss Fan, do you have some important matter to discuss with me?”
Fan Chengxu smiled and said, “It’s not anything important. I just wanted to have a casual chat with Young Master Xu. By the way, I heard that Young Master Xu has recently sold a lot of late rice seeds?”
Wei Ruo nodded, “Yes, that’s true.”
While this news wasn’t big, it wasn’t small either. It was quite normal for Fan Chengxu to know about it.
“Where did Young Master Xu get this rice seed? How come there’s such a good rice strain that I don’t know about?” asked Fan Chengxu.
“They were brought over from Huzhou Prefecture. The farmers there have been planting it for two years, but it hasn’t been promoted to Taizhou Prefecture yet,” explained Wei Ruo.
