The witch took a step forward and began to examine Liu Yueru carefully, her bright eyes scanning her body back and forth.

But she found nothing. The witch shook her head. "You are not poisoned. Do you feel something is wrong?"

Liu Yueru told the Gu Po what happened between the two of them at the corner gate.

The witch also found it strange. "So there must be something you can't tell me. You two are in this situation together. Maybe you were fed a strange medicine. After taking that medicine, people will forget the time before and after taking the medicine."

Liu Yueru and Lixia looked at the witch in confusion.

The witch then explained, "This medicine is very magical. I heard it is an ancient miracle medicine. I also heard about it by accident."

“Where is the corner gate you are talking about?”

The witch asked in confusion.

Liu Yueru thought for a moment and said gently, "I'll take you there some other day."

"Madam, Uncle Fu is here." Mother Yan came in to report.

Liu Yueru frowned slightly; "Let him in."

The witch sat quietly aside.

Not long after, Uncle Fu came in with a group of people carrying a lot of things.

The frames were covered with black cloth.

"Uncle Fu, what are these?" Liu Yueru asked uneasily.

Uncle Fu bowed to Liu Yueru and then lifted the black cloth.

When those things were revealed, everyone's faces changed.

Liu Yueru's worry turned into joy and she walked forward quickly.

Uncle Fu said with a bit of joy on his face, "Madam, those vegetables have grown. I asked the servants to pick them and send them to you so that you can taste them first."

Liu Yueru looked at several large baskets full of fruits and vegetables, which was a very rare thing in winter.

No wonder Uncle Fu covered these things with black cloth when he asked someone to deliver them just now.

"Uncle Fu, send some of the babies born later to the palace, and sell the rest according to the price we agreed on before," Liu Yueru instructed.

"Yes, the ones from the palace can be sent in today. The yield from the crops grown in this way will be very impressive."

Liu Yueru took out a tomato, took her handkerchief, wiped it, and took a bite of it.

It tastes sour and sweet, with the unique fragrance of tomato, and her eyes are as beautiful as Liu Yue's.

I just thought that it would be great if this thing could be delivered earlier so that the soldiers could taste it together.

A hint of loss appeared in his eyes.

Uncle Fu looked at Liu Yueru and asked worriedly, "Madam, does this thing taste wrong?"

"No." Liu Yueru shook her head quickly.

"I just remembered something. These taste very good, sweet and sour. Have you sent some to the Zhu family?" Liu Yueru asked.

Uncle Fu nodded, "It has been sent. Don't worry, my lady. We will also send it to Mr. Li's family."

"They have been coming to help quite a lot these days. I am just about to report this to my wife."

Liu Yueru nodded with satisfaction; "Uncle Fu understands my feelings best."

Uncle Fu thought for a moment and said to Liu Yueru, "I want to discuss something with you, my lady."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Liu Yueru turned her head to look at Uncle Fu in some surprise.

Uncle Fu looked at Liu Yueru a little embarrassedly. "Madam, this is the case. I want to set up a sales location in the West City shed, mainly to sell to grain merchants who are far away from the capital city. The price is one-third less than the selling price. I wonder if you think it is feasible?"

Liu Yueru frowned slightly. "But now, food in Kyoto is already in short supply, and the wars in the surrounding areas have started again. It would be fine if the food supply in Kyoto was sufficient."

Uncle Fu bowed to Liu Yueru and explained, "Enough. If the vegetables cannot be sold out, they will not last long. If they are sold too late, they will go bad. As long as there is enough in Kyoto every day, the rest can be given to the grain merchants. This will alleviate the problem of food shortage everywhere and will not waste the fruits and vegetables. Those in Kyoto can also be sold at a good price."

"Well, since Uncle Fu has thought about it, just go ahead and do it." Liu Yueru responded softly.

Uncle Fu went on to say, "When the subsequent fruits and vegetables are almost harvested, we will start to use the greenhouse where we grow vegetables to grow seedlings, and then transfer them to other greenhouses. This way, we can ensure that there will be a continuous supply of fruits and vegetables as much as possible, and the waiting period will not be too long."

"Okay, Uncle Fu will arrange everything."

"Yes, if there is nothing else, I will withdraw first." After saying this, Uncle Fu bowed and left.

Liu Yueru watched Uncle Fu leave.

He turned around and said to Mother Yan, "Mother Yan, please take good care of them at home. I'm going to be out for a while."

"Madam, where are you going at this time?" Mother Yan asked with some concern.

"It will be quick if you go."

Sitting in the carriage, Liu Yueru looked at the people passing by on the street. She thought of the scene they saw at the wall that day: the city of Kyoto was a river of blood and there were dead bodies everywhere.

Liu Yueru always felt that Zhu Xiaohong and Li Jiangyan were not as simple as they seemed.

Came to Zhu's house.

Zhu Xiaohong's father warmly welcomed Liu Yueru into his home. "Mrs. Liu, please come in quickly."

Liu Yueru went in with a smile.

Zhu Xiaohong quickly ran out from the backyard and said to her father, "Dad, go and do your work. I'll take Yue'er to the backyard."

Zhu Xiaohong's mother took out all the delicious food in the house and placed them on the table. She looked at Liu Yueru and said in a somewhat reserved manner, "Miss Liu, have some. These are Xiaohong's favorite snacks."

"Yes, these things are delicious, and many of them are made by me." Zhu Xiaohong said as she took one of the nougat from the table and put it in Liu Yueru's hand.

Liu Yueru took it curiously, put it in her mouth and took a bite; "It has a light milky flavor, sweet but not greasy, delicious."

"Take more when you go back." Zhu Xiaohong saw that Liu Yueru liked it.

She turned around and told her mother, "Mom, pack all these for Yue'er and let her take them back later. There are two children in the mansion who also like to eat them."

After saying that, Zhu Xiaohong pulled Liu Yueru to the backyard.

When no one was around, he asked, "What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

"I have some strange questions that I don't understand, and I want you to help me solve them."

Zhu Xiaohong took Liu Yueru to sit in a small pavilion at home and looked at her with confusion; "What's the problem?"

"Do you believe in prophecies?" Liu Yueru asked.

Zhu Xiaohong thought for a moment, then said, "I believe that those who are proficient in metaphysics can not only see the future of an individual, but also the fortune and decline of a family or even a country."

"What do you think of people who are reborn?" Liu Yueru asked Zhu Xiaohong nervously.

Zhu Xiaohong seemed to understand something and looked at her intently; "Those who were able to be reborn must have suffered great injustice."
