“Master!”

“Greetings, master!”

“Master, this is some fresh pickled vegetables we’ve just made. Take some home with you.”

“Master, these winter bamboo shoots were dug up by us this morning. Take them home and give them a try…”

“Master, I have a wild rabbit here, please accept it!”

The people at the manor greeted Wei Ruo with great enthusiasm, each of them presenting gifts that represented their heartfelt thoughts.

Recently, there wasn’t much farming work to do at the manor, so Wei Ruo let them busy themselves with their own matters.

Some were making straw sandals, some were pickling farm vegetables, and some were risking going to the nearby mountains to hunt.

Although the gain wasn’t much, they all didn’t want to stay idle.

And the things they had, they didn’t dare to consume themselves, choosing instead to save them as gifts for Wei Ruo.

Following that, Wei Ruo paid a visit to the workshop. It was operating smoothly with raw materials delivered daily to the manor and finished products shipped out.

Apart from soy sauce, which had a long production process, nothing else had been sold yet.

There were now more than twenty large pots piled up outside the soy sauce workshop.

Wei Ruo checked each of the pots, ensuring that the fermentation progress and state of the soybeans met her expectations.

The longer the production cycle, the higher the risk of problems, so Wei Ruo had to regularly control it.

Afterwards, Wei Ruo found Manager Yu alone and discussed with him the location selection for the distillery.

Previously, Wei Ruo had not planned to have Manager Yu in charge of the distillery, instead expecting Xu Zhushan to take on some extra work and make a few more trips.

But now, Wei Ruo had changed her mind. She planned to focus on cultivating Manager Yu to handle all matters of the manor and its surroundings in the future.

“All right, I’ll select a few people tomorrow to go to the location you’ve chosen to start building the distillery.” Manager Yu answered.

“First, you bring some people to prepare the ground there. There are quite a few stones and weeds. As for building, wait until I draw up the blueprint.” Wei Ruo said.

“Yes, I will follow the master’s instructions.” Manager Yu replied.

After discussing business with Manager Yu, Wei Ruo asked about Zhu Zongyu: “Has there been any recent unusual behavior from Master Zhu?”

Even though Zhu Zongyu’s previous explanation did not appear suspicious, following the principle of caution, Wei Ruo still had Manager Yu keep a watchful eye on him, just in case.

“Nothing unusual. He only managed to get out of bed the day before yesterday. The weather outside is cold, so he just stays in his room. When he is bored, he reads a few books I gave him. Aside from that, he follows your instructions for medication and meals for recovery.”

Wei Ruo nodded, “Keep observing. If anything seems off, send someone to notify me immediately.”

“Yes, master.” Manager Yu replied.

After speaking with Manager Yu, Wei Ruo went to see Zhu Zongyu.

He had been staying in the little house to the east and hadn’t ventured out.

The room was warm with a charcoal fire burning.

Upon seeing Wei Ruo enter, Zhu Zongyu rose “Master Xu.”
