Chapter 364 The Caravan Master Comes Again
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

Seeing this, Fu Qiuhua and Wei Chengyi exchanged glances and continued on the haystack, "I believe you have all seen that the potato yield has reached 6,000 kilograms as we said, and the corn will not disappoint you. However, in order to enrich everyone's food, I hope you can choose to grow sweet potatoes in the second season. According to the results of our trial planting last year, the yield of sweet potatoes is slightly higher than that of potatoes. The seeds are still collected by each village at the county government."

The growth cycle of spring potatoes is very long. In order to rush to plant the second season of crops, they only planted corn and potatoes in the first season. In order to let the people truly see the difference between the three high-yield crops, they must vigorously promote the planting of sweet potatoes in the second season.

"it is good."

With the high yield of potatoes, no one would doubt the credibility of the government, and the villagers responded in unison.

"Village head, please count how many people in the village are willing to grow sweet potatoes."

"Thank you, my lord."

The village chief immediately bowed his head. Trying to grow a second crop of crops was an unprecedented big thing, and he dared not be careless.

"Okay, I'll go back first if I'm fine."

Nodding with satisfaction, Fu Qiuhua turned around and prepared to leave with Wei Chengyi and the others.

"Master, take care!"

The village chief hurriedly followed them, and only after watching their carriage disappear from his sight did he turn back to the fields and shout at the villagers to quickly get to work harvesting potatoes. He also wanted to know whether the yield per acre was that high.

“It will allow other villages to reap the benefits as well.”

In the carriage, Yuan Xiu could hardly hide his excitement, as if he had made a good harvest himself.

"Well, I'll have people go to each village to notify them after I get back."

Fu Qiuhua nodded in agreement, and Wei Chengyi and his wife smiled at each other without saying much. In this way, their plan would be half successful. When the second crop is harvested, the people will no longer go hungry. However, before that, they must ensure that every county has enough water.

The new food, potatoes, can be harvested. Like Xinghua Village, every household in every village has begun harvesting. When people saw the mountains of potatoes and learned of the astonishing yield, many of them were moved. As people at the bottom of society, not having enough food to eat and not having warm clothes to wear was their norm, but now, they have seen hope that they will no longer go hungry.

The news of Datong County's bumper potato harvest soon spread to other counties due to the deliberate publicity of Wei Chengyi and others. Ordinary people might not be able to do anything about it, but the wealthy families in various counties sent people to Datong County to inquire whether the potato yield per mu was really 5,000 to 6,000 kilograms.

It was June, the weather was getting hotter, and the corn in the fields was about to mature. On this day, Chen, the head of the caravan, came again. This time he also wanted 20,000 bottles of wine. He hoped that they could supply 20,000 bottles every month, and required that all of them be given wine glasses.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, this may be a little difficult. I can sell you the wine, but I really can't sell you the wine glasses. We don't have that many."

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Xiangwan still rejected his request. The Zhao family's pork workshop had started operating again, and someone was needed to work in the fields. Zhao Dajiang had no time to help her make bamboo boxes. Moreover, the glass workshop also had to do business, so how could he help her make wine glasses all the time? After the market in Mingzhou and Jiaozhou was opened, she would no longer give away wine glasses. Now there were no gifts in Chenzhou, and it did not affect their sales at all.

"Are you really not going to make some compromise?"

Chen Dangjia continued to ask without giving up. It was because he knew that wine glasses were no longer given away in Chenzhou that he made a special request, but he didn't expect to be rejected by her. When selling wine, having wine glasses or not is two completely different concepts. They sold the previous batch of wine to the royal families of various countries in the Western Regions. This time they planned to sell it to those ministers or nobles. It would undoubtedly be a bit troublesome without wine glasses.

"For the 20,000 bottles you want this time, I can deliver the wine glasses, but I really can't deliver the other things."

Their cooperation has always been very friendly, and Shen Xiangwan does not want to cause any conflicts, but they really do not have that much energy to make a large number of wine glasses.

"Okay, I still want 20,000 bottles of wine every month." Knowing that she would not give in, Chen Dangjia had no choice but to give up. However, he still chose to continue ordering wine. The royal families outside the Great Wall especially like wine, and they should buy it even without wine glasses.

"no problem."

Shen Xiangwan agreed without a second thought. As long as she wanted, she could increase production at any time. She wanted to make as much money as possible this year, as she might not have the time next year or the year after.

"I heard that your kaoliang liquor production has increased. It should be OK for me to order 100,000 kilograms, right?"

If possible, he would have asked for a high price a long time ago. God knows how well their sorghum liquor sells in the countries outside the Great Wall. The 50,000 catties last time were not enough, and 100,000 catties probably wouldn't be much either. It was not that he was afraid that if he asked for too much, she would refuse again.

"Master Chen, you really dare to speak up."

Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh, and nodded after finishing the job: "Okay, 100,000 jin is 100,000 jin, don't do that much next time."

Their sorghum wine really has no trouble selling. Even though the production has doubled, it is still not enough to sell. Not to mention the mature market in Chenzhou, the newly developed Mingzhou and Jiaozhou have extremely amazing sales every month. Wine merchants from other provinces have also approached them, wanting to purchase their sorghum wine and wine, but Cheng Yusheng rejected them all because the production of sorghum wine could not keep up, and as for wine, she did not have that many wine glasses to give away.

"Thank you, Mrs. Wei."

Seeing that she did not refuse, Chen Dangjia finally smiled and said, "This is the payment for the goods. Madam Wei, please click on it."

"No need, I still trust Mr. Chen."

After taking the banknote, Shen Xiangwan threw it aside without even looking at it. They had cooperated so many times, and she believed that Mr. Chen should not be short of her money, unless he didn't want to do business with them anymore.

"Okay, I'll leave first if I'm fine."

Having said that, Chen Dangjia stood up. He still had to go to the village to buy sausages and bacon. Those things were especially popular among people from countries outside the Great Wall. Every time he bought as much as he could, he didn't worry at all that he would end up with a lot of problems if he couldn't sell them.

"Yuan Ying, help me see Master Chen off."

"Yes."

Yuan Ying stepped forward and gestured to Chen Dangjia: "Please!"

"Ah."

After nodding to Shen Xiangwan again, Chen turned around and strode away. Yuan Yue, who had just returned from outside, happened to pass by them. Seeing that she looked a little unhappy, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's the matter? Didn't you go to the kiln factory?"

"Stop talking, I'm almost pissed off to death!"

Sitting down opposite her in a huff, Yuanyue picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of cold tea. She urgently needed to cool down and didn't care whether her behavior was beyond her status.
