The story of Miss Yu sneaking into the He family’s vegetable garden to steal vegetables and then being caught and handed over to the authorities spread throughout the village. Some villagers who had thought about sneaking into others’ vegetable gardens immediately abandoned the idea. Today, the He family was busy gathering all the fully grown vegetables and herbs to prepare them for sale, as they were planning to move out soon. However, due to Zhenzhu’s task of overseeing the soil turning and mulberry planting, she left this duty to Miss Wang and He Ming. They would hire a carriage from the town to transport the vegetables and herbs. Zhenzhu suggested that the herbs should be sold to Master Tiao, while the vegetables should be sold in the town by setting up a stall. Miss Wang had asked Miss Zhou and her husband for help, offering them a 20% share of the vegetable sales. "There’s no need to give me a share, Miss Wang. Are we strangers?" Miss Zhou refused the share. But Miss Wang insisted on giving it as a way to truly appreciate Miss Zhou’s kindness. Today, everyone from the He family went to the city, leaving the pitiful Xiao She to watch the house. Even Baihu followed Zhenzhu. The He family’s carriage, filled with vegetables, parked on a street known for selling fresh produce. This spot used to be Miss Zhou’s regular vegetable stall. Upon seeing the carriage loaded with vegetables and Miss Zhou getting off, the familiar neighboring vendors greeted her. "Oh, Miss Zhou, you’ve brought a lot of vegetables today, a carriage full indeed!" "Today, it’s not my vegetables but from another family, our neighbors. They are moving, so they decided to sell almost all the vegetables they had grown," Miss Zhou explained calmly. Miss Wang, He Ming, Miss Zhou, and her husband diligently unloaded the vegetables for sale. The vegetables for sale today included chinese cabbage, bok choy, kale, cucumbers, bitter melons, all radiating pure spirit energy. After unloading a large pile of vegetables, He Ming and Miss Zhou’s husband took the herbs to Ruyi Pharmacy, with He Yu tagging along for fun, leaving Miss Zhou and Miss Wang to sell the vegetables. "Here we are! Fresh, crisp vegetables, freshly picked from Master He’s house. Master He himself nourished these with pure spirit energy," Miss Zhou, experienced in trading, shouted once the vegetables were arranged. Master He’s fame in the city was significant, and even in the vegetable market, few did not know him. The fresh vegetables, emitting a strong spirit aura, caught the eyes of the customers shopping for produce. "Is that really Master He’s vegetables?" "Master He’s vegetables are being sold openly ? Weren’t they supposed to be sold at that big vegetable store?" "Look! They really do have spirit energy. It might actually be Master He’s vegetables." "Quick, go tell the steward that Master He’s vegetables are being sold here in the market. Hurry, or it will be too late." The market visitors included both common villagers and servants from noble households. These servants rushed back to inform the kitchen managers to come quickly. "Miss, how are these vegetables sold?" An elderly butler from one of the noble households stopped by upon seeing that Master He’s vegetables were for sale, astonished that they truly contained spirit energy. "They are sold for 1 tael per bunch. Cucumbers and bitter melons are sold for 1 tael per pile, sir," Miss Wang responded. Miss Zhou was even more stunned. A small bunch of just 7-8 stalks of vegetables selling for 1 tael each? And 5-6 pieces of cucumbers and bitter melons for the same price? She had never thought spirit vegetables could sell for such a price. Who would buy them at such rates? "So cheap for such a price!" The elderly steward exclaimed in surprise, but Miss Zhou was the more shocked one, finding the prices to be expensive when she usually sold her vegetables for 20-30 brass coin per bunch. Some customers still complained about her prices being too high, but spirit vegetables selling for 1 tael per bunch were considered cheap? This really caused her heartache. "Yes, sir. Master He wishes to promote the cultivation of spirit energy in our city to help develop it to be on par with other cities. Therefore, he’s selling spirit vegetables to the townsfolk at such a low price," Miss Wang explained with a warm smile, her words full of admirable meaning. "Master He is truly a kind person." "Indeed, now even our sons might be able to practice spirit energy cultivation." "If there are such affordable spirit vegetables, I’d like to try cultivating too." "Master He is truly commendable," many customers around them discussed admiringly. These spirit vegetables were sold at an incredibly low price. Even ordinary spirit herbs were sold at two plants for 1 tael, making the sale of vegetables at 1 tael per bunch an unbelievably low price. If one were to go to another city where spirit herbs were more commonly sold, a single bunch of vegetables would cost at least 5 taels. Therefore, the He family’s vegetables were significantly cheap. "I’ll take all of that pile, that and that, that and that, all of it," the elderly steward pointed excitedly. "I’m sorry, sir, but Master He wishes to distribute the vegetables sincerely and broadly, so we’re limiting sales to no more than 3 bunches of each type of vegetable per person." "Master He has a broad vision, foreseeing the future." "He’s fair. These vegetables will indeed reach us too." "Then, I’ll take 3 bunches of every type," the elderly steward said. That was a pity. Soon, a long line formed at Miss Wang’s vegetable stall to buy the affordable spirit vegetables. Miss Wang and Miss Zhou were busy selling, and quickly, all the vegetables were sold out. "Are they all sold out, Miss? I haven’t got any yet," a woman lamented, having arrived too late after hearing the news. By the time she heard the news and rushed here, a significant amount of time had already passed. "I’m sorry, Miss, but we’ve sold out." "Will there be more?" "Master He is currently expanding the cultivation area. In no more than a month, a new batch of vegetables will be sold at these low prices. After that, Master He’s vegetables will continue to be available," Miss Wang assured. "Really? I’ll wait then." Miss Wang smiled sincerely. The plan to sell the vegetables came from Zhenzhu, her daughter, who found the trade of spirit vegetables interesting. In Fengfu City, there were not many cultivators specializing in agricultural cultivation, and all of them had been bought over by prominent families. Therefore, regular markets only sold ordinary vegetables. If the He family opened a store selling spirit vegetables, it would be the first and only one in the city. Selling spirit vegetables at low prices to attract customers and bond with local noble families would make Master He praised for his compassionate act of selling affordable spirit plants, securing the townsfolk’s favor and eliminating any trade competitors who could sell spirit vegetables at lower prices. Zhenzhu said that earning little but over a long period is the most cost-effective way. When He Ming, He Yu, and Miss Zhou’s husband returned, they were surprised to see the vegetables sold out so quickly. "Did everything sell out this quickly, mother?" He Ming asked, as Master Tiao, charmed by He Yu’s cuteness, had kept them for a long chat. "Yes, we sold out long before you came back." "Mother, did you sell them at 1 tael per bunch as Sister had instructed? How could they sell out so quickly? You didn’t reduce the price to 10 brass coins per bunch, did you?" He Ming teased skeptically. "Ow! Mother, why did you hit me?" "Behave yourself. I sold them at 1 tael per bunch, and they were gone in no time." After clearing He Ming’s doubts, they counted the money. They made 192 taels from selling vegetables and an additional 464 taels from the expensive Nengxian herbs, totaling 656 taels. Miss Wang insisted on giving Miss Zhou the agreed 20% share. Miss Zhou, having never seen so much money, could only shake her head in refusal. How could she receive it, even if she works all her life, she could not save up to this much. The twenty percent share was too much. "We were just helping with the transportation," Miss Zhou’s husband added. They were not greedy for others’ wealth. "No, we had an agreement. If it weren’t for you taking me to the city, I wouldn’t know where to set up or how to get there. Please take it." "Please accept it, Aunt Zhou. We will need your help again in the future," He Ming urged. "Ahh, alright then. But if you need any help, just let us know right away. My husband and I will come to assist immediately," Miss Zhou accepted the money reluctantly. The 20% share amounted to 131 taels, a sum she and her husband could never dream of earning in their lifetime. Once Miss Zhou accepted the money, Miss Wang felt relieved. They then parted ways, and Miss Wang took her sons to a bank to safely store the money, fearing that carrying it might lead to it being lost or stolen. Afterwards, she took her two sons to buy some necessities and snacks as He Yu had requested before leaving town for their new home. "Father!" Little He Yu immediately ran to his father. "Did He Yu come along too? Let me see if you’ve grown any taller, haven’t seen you in days," He Lei scooped up his son who ran towards him. "I’ve grown this tall," he pointed upwards. "Wow, you’re so impressive," the little boy beamed when he received the compliment he desired. Miss Wang and He Ming looked at their new, large house with excitement. It truly was a big house. They had rushed by it in the morning without a chance to explore it closely. On closer inspection, they found it very much to their liking. The house was constructed from bricks, stones, and wood, elevated about half a body’s height from the ground. The main residence had several rooms, and there were several separate residences connected by wooden bridges, each residence for everyone in the family. Kitchen, and guest residence were clearly demarcated. There was also a pavilion for relaxation. Not far from there, a large tree surrounded by a built wall was part of the house’s property, with a wooden swing hanging invitingly for someone to play. "Do you like the new house?" He Lei asked, not addressing anyone in particular. He Ming and Miss Wang smiled and nodded in approval, but the most excited of them all appeared to be He Yu. "I love it so much, father. Can we move in today?" "Not yet, it’s not quite ready. In two days, He Yu, then you can move in." "Okay, father," the little one replied, a bit sullenly. "Father, where’s Big Sister?" He Yu asked, noticing his sister’s absence. "Over there. She’s watching the workers by the foothill on the swing," He Lei pointed out. Today, the workers would be turning the soil, and by tomorrow, they should be able to start planting mulberry trees. The day the He family had been eagerly awaiting finally arrived; today, they were moving to their new home. Zhenzhu woke up early to pack her belongings into a backpack because she owned very few things. It didn’t take long before she was ready. Three ox-drawn carts were waiting in front of the house, with He Ming and He Lei lifting the luggage onto the carts, assisted by Miss Zhou’s husband. "Miss Zhou, the vegetables in the garden are not plentiful. We’ve agreed that you will take over their care. Once they have fully grown, you can harvest and sell them. You don’t need to share any of the proceeds with us," because there were still some vegetables in the garden that hadn’t fully matured. The family decided that Miss Zhou would take over their care. Although these vegetables would no longer be watered with spiritual energized water, they would still grow to possess some spirit energy, making them sell for much more than ordinary vegetables. Moreover, the Concealment Characters had been removed. "How can this be? Those vegetables are valuable," Miss Zhou said modestly. Ever since she helped Miss Wang sell vegetables last time, the townspeople and other merchants had become friendlier towards her. This was because of her association with Master He. "It’s alright. We insist. And when you go to sell the vegetables, don’t forget to visit us," they said. "Of course, I will visit. Let’s hurry and load the carts." Every piece of furniture and household item was loaded onto the carts. Many villagers inquired about their destination. When they found out that the He family was moving elsewhere, the news spread like wildfire. The He family gifted all the land of their old home to Miss Zhou for her to cultivate vegetables as she wished without paying rent. Some villagers who peeked overheard that some vegetables were left and given to Miss Zhou. They envied her good fortune, wondering why the He family didn’t offer the vegetables to them instead. Miss Zhou and her husband truly were lucky. "Did you know? The He family left the remaining vegetables for Miss Zhou." "Really? Miss Zhou is really fortunate. I heard they sell those vegetables up to 1 tael per bunch." "Indeed, very expensive. How did Miss Zhou manage to get so close to the He family? Her ability to ingratiate herself with others is truly remarkable." Whispers of gossip followed the departure of the several carts slowly moving away. Upon arriving at their new home, the He family worked together to unload and arrange their belongings. The children were particularly excited about having their own bedrooms, not having to cram into a small room anymore. The new house was much larger; even one bedroom was bigger than their entire old house. Zhenzhu quickly set her belongings in the room she had chosen, facing west because of its windows and wooden balcony overlooking the wide fields and a stream in the distance. In the evening, she could sit and watch the sunset behind the mountains, enjoying the gentle breeze carrying the fresh scent of grass. She could also see the newly planted mulberry garden stretching out towards the foothills. After settling her own things, Zhenzhu went to help her mother arrange the kitchenware and other miscellaneous items. "My room is so spacious. Now, Xiao She and Baihu won’t have to squeeze together anymore," she saw the little one boasted to his two friends. "Is Big Sister Zhu here?" Xin Xi’s voice came from the front of the house. He probably walked in through the back gate that connected to his quarters. "Xin Xi, come on in!" she shouted. Xin Xi walked up but was startled to find He Yu playing with Xiao She and Baihu in the middle of the room. Zhenzhu came out of the kitchen. "This is He Yu, my brother. He Yu, this is Brother Xin Xi. He will help us take care of the vegetables." "Ah, great! But why is Brother Xin Xi’s face all wrapped up?" Now, Xin Xi wasn’t wearing his ragged, old clothes but new, clean ones that made him look like a charming young master, except for the ugly white cloth wrapped around his face. "Because Brother Xin Xi was injured and needed to bandage his wounds." "Oh, I see. This is Baihu and Xiao She, my friends," He Yu introduced them with a smile. "A...a snake!" Xin Xi was already startled seeing Baihu days ago, and now seeing Xiao She made him freeze again. "Don’t be scared. They won’t eat you. They are very cute," He Yu reassured. Why did everyone have to be so scared and pale? Xiao She was quite adorable, after all. You guys really don’t know what cuteness is. Zhenzhu took Xin Xi to meet He Ming and then helped her mother with the chores, with Xin Xi eagerly assisting. "How’s your wound? Is it getting better?" "Much better, thank you, Big Sister Zhu. It’s starting to scab over." Xin Xi had been feverish the first day he returned because of the injury. Fortunately, He Lei was concerned enough to find him in time, giving him medicine and wiping him to reduce his fever. Now the fever was gone, and although the wound was slightly tight, it wasn’t very painful. He had even managed to check on the mulberry fields for his Big Sister Zhu earlier that day. "Good, rest well and take your medicine as the doctor instructed. You’ll be healed soon." After helping her mother, Zhenzhu decided to check on her mulberry fields, which she hadn’t watered today. Normally, people plant mulberries during the rainy season, allowing the rain to moisten the soil for growth. However, Zhenzhu wanted mulberries with spirit energy, so she had to water them herself. Ah... With such a large mulberry field, it would be impossible to water it all by herself. Hiring workers could expose her secret. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩 "Big Sister Zhu, there’s a tall waterfall at the end of the field. I checked it out already. Do you want to see?" "Huh? There’s a waterfall? Why haven’t I noticed it before?" "You need to walk upstream a bit further to find it," Xin Xi said. He had explored the field alone yesterday, once he reached the foot hill where the river was located, he heard the sound of water hitting rocks and decided to follow the sound to find the waterfall. "Let’s go then.” If there’s a waterfall as Xin Xi says, it would make watering the plants easier. No need to carry water bucket by bucket. She would build water channels to flow down to the mulberry garden, drill a hole in the channel above the plot to let the water drip down automatically. After that, there would be no need for manual watering, and she could just dip the Golden Scale into the water source to make the water in the channels spiritually enriched." Zhenzhu followed the stream upwards and soon heard the deep sound of water hitting rocks.
