“Oh, how much firewood do you need? We’ll send it over to you in a few days.” The man took the sack and threw it into his cart, nodding repeatedly.

“Five more carts will do,” Zhou Ying said after some thought.

This way, she could help them, and she wouldn’t have to go up the mountains to chop firewood.

“Alright, we’ll come over every other day. We won’t disturb you any further.” After the man finished speaking, he turned around and pushed his cart outside.

Gu Chengye’s eyes flickered when he heard that. When the refugees went up the mountain to chop branches and tree bark, their household bought their firewood along with Zhou Ying.

Although some were still left, it would be difficult to get through the winter.

However, he and his big brother had been on patrol day and night.

Her father and uncle still had to take care of the vegetables and sweet potatoes in the field, so they had no time to go up the mountain to gather more firewood.

Even if they had the time, they probably couldn’t handle that kind of work.

Therefore, after they left, Gu Chengye asked, “Are you planning to keep cutting firewood? I also want to buy some. How about two bundles of firewood for one pound of white sweet potato or one bundle for ten pounds of white sweet potato vines?”

“Really?” The man asked in disbelief. He had been walking around the village for more than half a day, so he knew others were buying sweet potatoes at a high price of 15 coppers per pound.

According to his firewood price, he was earning more than 10 coppers per pound, and he would greatly benefit from this.

“I won’t lie to you. Just tell me if you want to trade or not.”

“We’ll trade, but I prefer the white potato vines.”

“Alright, send ten more carts to my house once you’re done.

“Remember to bring firewood like the ones you sent earlier. Don’t try to fool me with shrubs.”

“I won’t, don’t worry.”

On the other side, Zhou Ying locked the door after they left and took Er Zhuang to the manor. She went into the field to look at the seedlings’ situation.

Needless to say, the vegetables were from seeds produced in her interspace, so the seedling was growing excellently and tenaciously.

On the other hand, the three acres of wheat looked frail, although their yield rate was decent.

Changshun, who received the news of her arrival, immediately ran over. “Mistress, you’re here. This wheat looks alright, I think?”

“It’s alright, but it looks a little frail.”

“It’s mainly because of its aged wheat. However, it’ll be much better next year once we let it grow a little more.”

“Alright. Remember to water it once before winter. Even if it doesn’t snow, we won’t be short of water.”

“I understand.” When Changshun said this, he pointed to the vegetables not far away and asked, “Mistress, what is that? I’ve never seen it before.”

“That’s brown mustard. The yield rate of this crop is quite high, and after it’s marinated, it can be cooked, fried, stuffed, steamed, and so on.”

There are a lot of these in the capital, but they aren’t common here.”

“I see. If that’s the case, we won’t lack vegetables in the winter.”

“That’s right, no matter what, we have to fill our stomachs.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she went to the cultivation area with him.

She saw Manager Liu and Uncle Nian sitting under the sun, focused on playing the board game Go. She was surprised before she walked over and stood to the side to watch.

After they finished a round, the two noticed Zhou Ying standing at the side. Uncle Nian immediately stood up, but Zhou Ying motioned for him to sit down and said, “You guys continue playing. I’m just here to take a look at the wheat seedlings and to take a look around.”

“Oh, right. The wheat’s seedling is doing fine, but there’s just not enough.” Manager Liu answered.

“There’s no other way. There are not enough seeds.

“By the way, what did you plant in your manor?”

“Nothing else except the vegetable seeds you gave me. I’d plant all white sweet potatoes next year if the weather is decent..”
