Mrs. Xu was also very happy. Hearing her words, it meant that her nephew still had a chance.

Because Si Ya hadn't said who she had promised, and she hadn't met her nephew yet, so there might still be a chance. In this way, everyone ate the meal with their own thoughts.

It was dark after dinner. Mr. Mo and Butler Shi proposed to go back. Shen Ping and the others wanted to stay here for the night. The two insisted on going back, and Shen Ping did not insist.

Considering the lack of light, Shen Ping took out two flashlights, tied them to their carriage, and illuminated the road ahead.

This flashlight is a strong focusing light, as bright as daylight, and can also illuminate more than 40 meters away. This is the first time Mr. Mo has seen such a thing, and it is really rare.

In the afternoon, Butler Shi demonstrated it to him. It was daytime at that time and he closed the door in the house, and it felt bright at that time.

But it is not as shocking as lighting it outdoors late at night. At night, you can see the road clearly from dozens of meters away, so you don't have to worry about not being able to see the mountain road.

Mrs. Mo proposed to buy a few more of these flashlights, and Shen Ping readily agreed. Mrs. Dong also had the same idea.

Taking advantage of Mrs. Mo Lian's words, Mrs. Dong also followed up and expressed her own thoughts. Shen Ping bought ten flashlights for them at the old price.

In addition, we also gave them matching batteries and bought 40 pairs of batteries for them.

Butler Shi was also worried that his own batteries would not be enough, so he took the opportunity to buy more than 20 pairs of batteries.

Although they had flashlights, they were still in a hurry to get going while it was still early. Mrs. Mo also reminded Mo Ru to take good care of himself, and she went back first.

After all, it's very cold, so we should go back early. Besides, it's dark outside and we have to be careful when walking on the mountain path.

Shen Ping also brought them homemade oil-fried sesame balls, braised meat, soap and chili sauce.

Considering that it was getting dark and Wu Tong's driving skills were not very proficient, Butler Shi asked Wu Tong to sit in his carriage and he drove the carriage for Master Mo.

Mr. Mo didn't say much, he could only thank him repeatedly. After all, for safety reasons, now was not the time to be polite.

After seeing them off, Shen Ping sent everyone away, washed up early and went to bed.

Ugh!

I have been busy all day and am tired. Now I just want to lie in the warm bed and have a good sleep.

I have to say that the spiritual spring water in this space is really warm in winter and cool in summer, changing with the temperature.

Shen Ping took a nice bath in the spiritual spring and immediately felt relieved. She felt refreshed and energetic. She quickly harvested all the crops in the space and planted some more.

Now, there are a lot of vegetables stored in the space, and there are also vegetables in the fields outside. Shen Ping decided not to grow vegetables on this black soil for the time being.

She decided to keep all the rice for planting rice. She would take advantage of this period to stock up more rice seeds, and then let everyone in the village plant rice in the spring of next year.

She had to test it out for a season to see if the rice could be grown in the land outside and what the yield would be.

If the yield per mu is high, we can promote it vigorously then.

In Shen Ping's memory, the yield of rice in ancient times was too low, only two to three hundred kilograms per mu. After paying taxes, farmers had little food left, which was basically just enough for food and clothing.

If we encounter natural disasters or man-made disasters, we will have no ability to resist them at all. In order to have food in hand and not panic, we can only find ways to increase the per-acre yield of crops.

Heyang County is located in the south, and farmers mainly grow rice. They also grow some coarse grains. Rice is the staple food, and the government pays rice as a tax every year.

Last year, after Magistrate Xu's memorial, the imperial court exempted the peasants from taxes, temporarily helping them get through the difficult times. But this is not a long-term solution after all.

To solve the problem of food and clothing, the only way is to start with rice. The rice planted by Shen Ping in the space has a high yield.

I just don't know what the yield per acre will be when it is planted on the land outside? This is what she urgently wants to know.

Today, the black soil in the space has been upgraded and has become visibly larger. Crops can mature in 24 hours. Based on the space of this black soil, dozens of kilograms of rice can be harvested every day.

On this day, dozens of people in the family will eat about 20 kilograms of rice. Even if some other ingredients are mixed in, at least ten kilograms of rice will be needed that day.

On this side, Shen Ping's eyelids were already twitching. She shook her head and decided not to think too much about it for the time being. This was the only plan for now.

We will take things one step at a time and stockpile whatever is left. If there is any left, we will sell some to other villages in addition to the villagers who rely on the mountain.

That night, Shen Ping slept particularly soundly. She seemed to have seen the Dazhi Dynasty thriving and the whole country no longer worried about food.

Unlike Shen Ping, Erya slept restlessly all night. It had been more than 20 days since she left Shenyang. During these 20 days, she had been thinking about random things every day.

No one knew what she was thinking. On the surface, she smiled every day, but only she knew that her heart had already left Shenyang.

She didn't know whether Shenyang would come back, but she believed what Shenyang said. Shenyang said that he would come back to marry her and asked her to wait for him.

Erya knew that Shenyang would be in a very dangerous situation when he returned this time, because she knew something about his affairs.

Now she had no other thoughts in her mind, she just wanted him to be safe and sound, and she didn't dare to ask for anything.

Although Shen Yang said that he would come back to marry her, she knew that with such a huge gap between their identities and statuses, it would not be easy for them to truly be together.

Maybe he is lying in some comfortable place right now, and he doesn't even remember me, a country bumpkin. Thinking of this, Erya smiled bitterly.

Since she couldn't sleep, she simply sat up, lit the oil lamp, turned her thoughts into inspiration, picked up a pen and started designing clothes.

In addition to underwear, Erya and Shenyang also designed lingerie. Thinking of the maternity dress that Wu had worn before, Erya suddenly got an inspiration.

The maternity skirt is loose and light, unlike traditional clothes that are heavy and cumbersome. It is not convenient for pregnant women to wear it. If it is launched in large quantities, I wonder if there will be a market for it.

Erya plans to design a few pieces and wait until the beginning of next spring to make a batch and test the market in the summer. If the prospects are good, she will then go into mass production.

Before we knew it, Erya had designed several maternity dresses, including summer dresses and winter dresses.

Now that Mo Ru is pregnant, I can make a few sets for her to try on and get her feedback.

Thinking of this, Erya became more excited. As dawn approached, she designed two more sets. Only then did she feel a little sleepy. She quickly put down her pen and went back to sleep.
