Ive also heard from County Magistrate Kong that the entire countys flour can only last for a month or so.

I just only hope that the wild vegetables in the field will grow as soon as possible.

It is better to let the people plant some radishes, vegetables, cabbages, and so on. There are no seeds for grain now, so this land is empty anyway.

Its easy for you to say. The issue is that no vegetable seeds exist elsewhere besides your area.

No way! There arent even any vegetable seeds left?

Its been a two-year drought. Besides the mountains, the other places Zhou Huaiming shook his head and didnt continue.

I remember Chang Shun harvesting a batch of rapeseed and spinach seeds last year. Ill ask how many are left later. Zhou Ying said.

Do ask. If there are any extras, give them to Manager Liu and ask him to plant them. We should do anything we can to help, especially in areas with no sweet potato seedlings.

Alright, lets eat first. Its my first time making braised lamb chops for you, so try them. After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she picked up a piece for him and another for Gu Chengrui. She then lowered her head and began to eat as well.

After the meal, the three of them went to find Chang Shun. Chang Shun learned of their intentions and said, General Zhou, master and mistress, the only vegetable seeds we have are the ones we harvested last spring. There arent many after we planted them two days ago.

As for the winter harvest, its all vegetables that dont produce seeds. Oh, right, theres about half a pound of mustard seeds left.

Well take as much as you have. Leave enough for us, and prepare the rest. Also, go to the others and ask if theres any extra. Zhou Ying said.

Alright, 111 go now. Chang Shun turned to run after he finished speaking.

Zhou Ying quickly stopped him. Its not that rushed. Just get them ready tomorrow morning. Also, look around and see if you can plant some more cabbage to get more seeds.

Understood, mistress. 111 make the arrangements now. After Chang Shun finished speaking, he ran out to make arrangements.

After that, Gu Chengrui brought Zhou Huaiming around the manor and to Xin An village to visit the wild roses.

On the other hand, Zhou Ying went to the gra.s.sland for a walk. Because of the white sweet potato seeds that were planted last year, there were already a lot of seedlings in the field.

On the contrary, there wasnt much hay or white potato vines in the warehouse.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying was worried. She had to secretly put some dried white potato vines into the warehouse again, hoping they could last until the white potatoes grew.

After Zhou Huaiming arrived at Xin An village, he looked at the wild rose plant that was already full of vitality and asked, Are these the wild roses that you said can be used as tea and medicine?

Yes, but its getting warmer slightly later this year, so there arent any flowers budding yet. But 1 think itll be soon. Gu Chengrui affirmed.

They look to be growing really well.

The adaptability of wild plants is much stronger than planted ones.

Brother Chengrui, why didnt you tell us you were coming over? Hu Chun walked over and asked.

This is General Zhou. Ive brought him here to see these wild roses. Gu Chengrui introduced the two, Brother Zhou, this is my brother-in-law, Hu Chun. Hes also the village chief of Xin An village.

I am Hu Chun. Greetings, General Zhou. Hu Chun was startled for a moment before he quickly knelt and saluted.

Please get up; Im friends with your brother, and theres no need for such a deep bow. Zhou Huaiming gave him a hand.

Thank you, General Zhou. Hu Chun stood up and followed behind him obediently. He then proceeded to give him a brief introduction to the wild

roses..
