 Chapter 398: Young Pepper Tree Saplings

Ye Muyu thought that, in the summer the days were longer and considering that Song Lu had to prepare for the provincial examination, his study time had gradually increased. As a result the time for preparing dinner had been pushed back.


When Chu Heng returned home and saw Chong Jin playing in the yard with Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo, he handed the chicken he was holding to Hu Shi, who was approaching.


At the same time, he held a box of pastries in his hand.


Luchuan, seeing that the master and madam were about to talk, conscientiously carried the book box into the yard.


"Who is this child?" Chu Heng squinted his eyes, his gaze falling on Chong Jin.


Sitting in the yard, Chong Jin who was watching Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo play, seemed to feel his gaze and suddenly looked up.


Seeing Chu Heng.


A knowing expression flashed in his eyesnand he stood up, approaching Chu Heng and giving a bow. "I am Chong Jin, the nephew of Master Lin Fuzi. I've been entrusted by my uncle to have dinner at Lady Chu's house. I hope it's not too much trouble."


"So, it was Master Lin who sent you. You can stay without worry. Go and play with little Jin and Ziluo." Chu Heng's voice was calm, showing that he was not concerned about the newcomer's presence. At a glance, he could tell that this child was extraordinarynand his background was probably not ordinary either.


Although that was the case, he had somewhat guessed the other's identity due to Master Lin's relationship, so he felt at ease.


Chong Jin nodded and retreated to the center of the yard, becoming a spectator along with Chu Ziluo.


He had always been sensible, never causing trouble for others. At least, Chu Ziluo felt that this older brother was considerate and she really liked playing with him.


"If you're coming back around this time in the future, I'll delay dinner a bit. Although it's not a big deal if the dishes get cold in the summer, it may affect your stomach. I don't want to jeopardize your digestion." Ye Muyu gently took the pastry box handed over by Chu Heng.


Thinking of what he had been doing recently, Chu Heng nodded, "Alright, I usually come back around this time."


"By the way, the young pepper tree saplings you asked me to find will probably be delivered to the village tomorrow. I'll let Luchuan handle it, you just wait at home." Chu Heng had quite a few manpower resources now and he didn't need Ye Muyu to personally take care of such matters.


This was also due to his accelerated development.


Ye Muyu knew that he must have his own business and he might be doing even better than she could imagine.


She didn't refuse and just asked, "How many saplings are there in total?"


"I've bought about a hundred for now but I don't know how many will survive. If it's not enough, let me know and I'll have the caravan buy more." Chu Heng's voice carried a hint of joy, and Ye Muyu glanced at him, not sure what he was happy about.


However, the arrival of the pepper tree saplings was indeed good news and planting them sooner would lead to an earlier harvest.


As this thought crossed her mind, Ye Muyu also thought of Mother Jiang. Since Chu Heng's caravan seemed so capable, it should be easy to find healthy ginger rhizomes, plump, shiny, fresh, without shrinking, rotting, freezing, disease, or pests.


Ye Muyu thought about it and turned to him, asking, "I also want to buy some young ginger. Can your caravan get them?"


Adopting a mindset of earning money together with family members, Ye Muyu didn't hold back this time.


Chu Heng noticed the change in her attitude and his whole person became much more relaxed. What he wanted was for Ye Muyu to treat him like family.


"It's possible. I'll send the caravan out to find them tomorrow."


"As long as they can sprout and be used for planting, you can get them."


"Ginger matures in the winter. By then, we can use it to dispel the cold and it can also fetch a good price." Ye Muyu had investigated, there was generally a high demand for ginger during the winter in the entire capital.


"Try to buy more. If there's not enough, you can inform me. I'll ask the clan if anyone is willing to plant ginger and have them come over to buy the ginger for planting."
