    “So, there are about 2,000 acres of roses on this mountain?”


    “Yes, the ones on the mountain are more vibrant, but some died because of the snowstorm. These are the branches nted after spring, and I don’t know if they will bloom well or not.”


    Zhou Huaiming nodded and observed carefully. “There were indeed many seedlings.” Then, he asked, “By the way, do these mountains belong to your vige?”


    Hu Chun nodded and replied, “When the vige was first established, thend here was too barren. So, the nearby mountains—about 5,000 acres of mountainousnd—were all given to our vige.


    “There are a lot of date trees on the mountain in the south, so we n to transnt some of them in the future.


    “We could also nt some chestnut trees, walnuts, and persimmon trees on the emptynds.


    “No matter what, the vigers in our vige can survive with all these resources.”


    “That’s a good idea. You can also try nting apple trees, pear trees, and other fruit trees; whichever will make money faster.” Zhou Huaiming nodded in agreement.


    At the same time, he also understood why the Gu family would marry their daughter to an outsider. This young man was capable, ambitious, and promising.


    “You can use the date tree to graft some on the bigger trees here. Although dates are rtively cheap, the output is high and easy to sell.” Gu Chengrui suggested.


    “That’s right, that’s a good idea.” Zhou Huaiming nodded in agreement.


    “But do we have any good date trees in our area?” Hu Chun’s eyes lit up, and he asked.


    “I’ll ask Doctor Luoter; there should be.”


    “I’ll have to bother you then, Brother Chengrui, to help me on this.”


    “Alright, I’ll let you know when I have a definite answer.”


    After that, they chatted briefly and then went to Hu Chun’s house. After a short stay, Zhou Huaiming and Gu Chengrui returned to the manor.


    The couple left the manor after eating mutton soup in the evening.


    However, they didn’t go home immediately. Instead, they went from house to house to collect some vegetable seeds.


    Although there weren’t many of them, there were various types.


    After the two returned, they sorted the same seeds together.


    Zhou Ying added more than half of each type and nearly doubled the seeds of cabbage and rapeseed. These two vegetables could be eaten as soon as they grow and could alleviate the current food shortage the fastest.


    The following day, after breakfast, the couple took the seeds and brought Er Zhuang to the manor.


    At the same time, Chang Shun had also amassed a portion, but the amount was far less than theirs.


    “I’ve troubled you all,” Zhou Huaiming said. “With these seeds, we can solve our urgent needs.


    “I’ll personally send it over in a moment. Do you guys want to go out and look at the situation outside the vige?”


    “You guys go ahead; 1 won’t be going.” Zhou Ying shook her head.


    “Alright, then I’ll go with Brother Zhou. Oh, right, bring Sun Hongliang and Chang Shun along too. Let them see the situation outside so that they can be mentally prepared.”


    “There are donkey carts in the vige, right? Let’s drive that as horse carriages are too eye-catching.” Zhou Huaiming suggested.


    Afterwards, the group drove the donkey cart and sent Zhou Ying back to the vige. Gu Chengrui changed into the most tattered clothes avable, then took a bag of beef jerky and set off.


    Not long after they left, Gu Chengxi rushed over and said, “Sister-inw, is Brother Chengrui at home?”


    “Unfortunately, he just went out on an errand. You can tell me if you have anything.”


    “I don’t think you can’t help. I’m here to ask my brother for a pulse reading.


    “You have to wait until tonight, then. By the way, are you done with the work in the fields?”


    “I’m almost done, and we still have some remaining sprouts. It’s a pity that we nted themte this season,” Gu Chengxi said as he pursed his lips..
