Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Shopkeeper Wang also felt Feng Qingyu's joy, and he continued, "Second Master, I heard from Zhou Mingming that the rice planted by Miss Jiang Xue this time is of excellent quality, with full grains and golden color. It is definitely top-quality grain. If we can purchase a large amount of their rice, it will not only meet the food needs of our Feng Mansion, but also improve the overall quality of our grain."

Feng Qingyu patted Manager Wang's shoulder excitedly: "This is great! Our Feng Mansion has always needed a large amount of food supply, and the rice in Jiangjia Village is very important to us. This time they were able to harvest on time, which really solved our urgent need!"

Shopkeeper Wang also nodded in agreement, "Yes, Second Master. And I heard that the rice planted by Miss Jiang Xue this time is of very good quality, with full grains. If we can purchase a large amount of their rice, it will be of great help in improving the quality of our Feng Mansion's grain."

Feng Qingyu nodded, with a shrewd light in his eyes: "That's right, Shopkeeper Wang. You should immediately arrange for someone to go to Jiangjia Village to purchase rice the day after tomorrow morning. We must ensure that our food supply is sufficient, and at the same time, let the people of Jiangjia Village know that we in Feng Mansion are trustworthy and will give them a fair purchase price according to the market price."

Shopkeeper Wang did not dare to be negligent and quickly agreed, secretly sighing in his heart: "You are worthy of being the Second Master! Such a decisive and wise move is really admirable!" At this time, Feng Qingyu slowly stood up and said in a firm tone: "I need to go to Jiangjia Village tomorrow."

Before he finished speaking, Hong Chang ran in with a happy face, muttering: "Second Master, Second Master, you have a letter! It's red!" She trotted to Feng Qingyu and handed him the envelope.

When Feng Qingyu heard that it was a red letter, he became very excited, with anticipation flashing in his eyes. He asked eagerly, "Red?" Hong Chang nodded repeatedly and carefully handed the envelope to him.

In Fengfu, red is regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness and good luck, indicating that good things are coming; black represents ominous things; and white is usually related to funerals. Therefore, Feng Qingyu was particularly excited when he saw the red letter.

Feng Qingyu took the letter from Hong Chang and saw the eye-catching red envelope, and she felt an indescribable excitement in her heart. In the Feng family, red envelopes represent good things, and every time she receives such a letter, it means that something happy is going to happen.

He quickly opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter carefully. As each word unfolded, a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face. The letter mentioned the good news that he had been thinking about for the past few days.

The news in the letter was exactly the good news he had been expecting recently. He raised his head and said to Hong Shang, "Hong Shang, you did a great job. Thank you for your hard work."

Hong Chang was also very pleased to see Feng Qingyu so happy. She said softly, "Second Master, it seems to be good news."

She bowed respectfully and stepped aside.

Feng Qingyu looked up at Hong Chang, with joy in his eyes: "Yes, it is good news indeed."

At this time, Shopkeeper Wang also came over. He noticed the smile on Feng Qingyu's face and asked curiously, "Second Master, what good news makes you so happy?"

Feng Qingyu took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "The Feng family has taken down the Royal Merchant!"

When Shopkeeper Wang heard the news, his eyes widened immediately, with an expression of disbelief on his face: "We've captured the Royal Merchant? This... this is really great news!"

Feng Qingyu nodded heavily and continued, "That's right. This time we can become the imperial merchant, which means that our Feng family will continue to provide tribute to the palace. This will be a huge business opportunity. Shopkeeper Wang, we must seize this opportunity to create more wealth for the Feng family."

Shopkeeper Wang nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement: "Second Master is right, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How about we cooperate with the rice from Jiangjia Village?"

Feng Qingyu took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with determination: "We must get the rice from Jiangjia Village." His tone was firm and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.

Feng Qingyu knew that the rice cooperation with Jiangjia Village was equally important to the Feng family. If the rice from Jiangjia Village was really of high quality, it would be great. To become an imperial merchant this time, a stable grain supply was needed to support the business development of the Feng family.

He continued, "Manager Wang, you should prepare immediately and hurry up with the cooperation with Jiangjia Village. We need to ensure that after becoming an imperial merchant, we will have enough food reserves to meet the needs of the imperial palace."

Shopkeeper Wang nodded to show that he understood.

The next morning, Feng Qingyu and Manager Wang, along with a group of well-trained servants, rode in a carriage to Jiangjia Village.

The sky is blue and the sun shines on the earth, making it golden, adding a bit of warmth and anticipation to the journey.

The carriage galloped along the winding country road, its wheels rolling and stirring up a cloud of dust, as if foreshadowing the upcoming busyness and joy.

However, just as the carriage was about to pass through a field, a section of road under construction suddenly appeared in front of them. Stones and soil were randomly piled on the side of the road, and several workers were busy moving and compacting them.

"What are they doing?" Feng Qingyu curiously lifted the curtain and looked to the side. He frowned, worried that the road under construction would affect their journey.

Manager Wang also noticed the situation ahead, and he immediately ordered the coachman to slow down to ensure that the carriage could pass through this section of road smoothly.

At the same time, he also explained to Feng Qingyu: "Second Master, it seems that this section of the road is under repair, probably to improve the traffic conditions. But don't worry, we will pass through carefully."

Feng Qingyu nodded, but he still decided to get out of the car and check the situation himself.

He quickly got off the carriage and walked to the side of the road to observe carefully. He saw that the villagers were busy working. Although the road surface was a little uneven, it was generally not a big obstacle.

"Young man, go down and take the road on the right. The road two kilometers ahead has just been paved with cement, and there are people guarding it and not letting people pass!" Seeing a group of people coming from the opposite side, the villager who was carrying soil kindly reminded.

Feng Qingyu frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Then didn't I have to walk an extra circle to get there?"

The villager nodded and answered helplessly: "Yes! But they are building a cement road here and it is temporarily impassable." He shook his head, indicating that there was nothing that could be done about it.

"Cement road?" Feng Qingyu's eyes flashed with curiosity when he heard the word. He had never heard of cement. He asked, "What will this cement road look like after it's repaired? Is it better than the road we have now?"

After hearing this, the villagers smiled proudly and replied, "Of course! Now that the cement road has been repaired, the road surface is flat and smooth, and the carriage can travel much more smoothly. There is no need to worry about bumps. Moreover, the cement road is very durable and is not afraid of wind and rain. It can be used for decades!"
