In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 229: Chapter 228: Su Pan’er’s Business Savvy_1

When the two of them had completely settled the details of their tasks, they exchanged a knowing smile.

Throughout the conversation, Qin Yi sat quietly to one side without saying a word.

"Ha ha! It’s rare that we’ve agreed on this matter. Now let’s raise a toast! Come on, come on, there’s fine wine waiting in the main hall. Let’s go and indulge ourselves!"

Lui Muyi enthusiastically invited them.

In the morning at the county government office, Su Pan’er had not even had breakfast. Now, starving and rumbling, she was thrilled at the prospect of food.

"In that case, thank you for your generous hospitality, Young Master Lui."

"You’re welcome, you’re welcome!"

Lui Muyi laughed heartily and called to Overlord Tiger, who had been waiting outside: "Quickly, check if the master is still busy, then tell the kitchen to serve the food right away!"

Overlord Tiger quickly complied and dashed off.

At that moment, the conversation in the study was also coming to an end.

"Nephew, you can rest assured. Seeing as the child was lost on the official road, anyone looking for her would likely also take the official road."

Lui Ming paused thoughtfully: "However, the region you mention to the east is quite desolate with few inhabitants. A newborn girl in the desolate winter cold, in the middle of the night, in thick forests where wild animals frequently roam... I fear..."

"Indeed, the chance of a baby surviving in such situations is extremely low, I know."

Jun Ruochen sighed deeply: "You must have heard about the case last year? It involved many people, including Mrs. Liu’s eldest daughter. She never recovered from the illness brought on by the affair, and her condition has been getting worse and worse. It wasn’t until she heard that my nephew had left the capital that she entrusted me with the case. It’s a very desperate hope."

"So, there’s more to it than that."

Only then did Lui Ming understand: "Nephew, rest assured. My people specialize in venturing into places that your government officials cannot reach. If there’s any news, I will let you know as soon as possible. Of course, this is assuming she’s still in this world."

"Of course, I am most grateful for your care."

Jun Ruochen also relaxed quite a bit.

Lui Ming practically ruled both the legal and illegal circles of Yongze County. His ability to gather intelligence was undoubtedly excellent, so it seemed like a good decision to entrust this matter to him.

"Since you refer to me as your uncle, your affairs are mine. In the future, if there’s anything in Yongze County that you can’t resolve, perhaps I can lend a hand." Said Lui Ming with a smile on his face.

Though this lad handled things efficiently and firmly, he never overstepped his bounds. He definitely had potential!

Muyi still lacked some finesse in handling things. He should learn from him when he gets the chance and maybe even look after Muyi when he rises.

"Thank you, Uncle." Jun Ruochen respectfully bid him farewell.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Master, the food and wine are ready."

From outside the door, a knocking sound suddenly interrupted their conversation.

Lui Ming rose laughing heartily, "It’s rare that we have such a distinguished guest. We must have a good drink tonight, ha ha ha..."

Jun Ruochen also got up and bowed: "I am obliged to obey!"

The meal was truly a feast.

Kung Pao Chicken, Sliced Boiled Chicken, Three sets of duck, Yu Xiang Rou Si, Mapo Tofu, Sweet and Sour Carp, Sweet and Sour Ribs, Spiced Steamed Fish Head... the table was crammed with a dazzling array of dishes, to the point that Su Pan’er’s hunger pangs were screaming out in revolt.

The feast ended amidst everyone’s laughter and enjoyment.

After dinner, as the County Magistrate, Jun Ruochen naturally couldn’t stay long and excused himself to leave.

Seeing the carriage disappear into distant shadows, Su Pan’er was frustrated that she didn’t get a chance to talk to him alone and ask if he was the same person she knew from her previous life.

Once Jun Ruochen had left, Su Pan’er also bid farewell to Lui Muyi.

Lui Muyi was loath to see her go and tried to persuade her to stay.

"I have been in the county city for two days now. I wonder how everything is at home. I must return home without delay. Besides, now that the Qin Family and the Lui Family have formed an alliance, I anticipate we’ll be seeing more of each other in the future. I’ll certainly call on Uncle Lui another day."

"Ha ha... I love to hear that."

Lui Ming laughed heartily, the knife scar on his face stretching: "Alright! Yi’er, prepare a carriage for them. Assign someone to escort them home, and make sure they are safe, understood?"

Lui Muyi had to nod in agreement: "Yes, Yi’er understands."

Then he instructed Overlord Tiger and the others to prepare the carriage.

Overlord Tiger was genuinely afraid of Su Pan’er. On seeing his nervousness, Su Pan’er’s eyes filled with amusement.

Having finally bid farewell to the Lui Family father and son, Su Pan’er gradually put previous events behind her.

Looking at Qin Yi sitting earnestly by her side, she couldn’t help but tease him.

"What’s the matter? You don’t seem to be in a good mood?"

"No."

Qin Yi was getting better at not letting his feelings show.

"Really." Su Pan’er said eagerly, "Now that we’ve reached an agreement with the Lui Family, when we get back to the Qin Family, we can share this good news with the clan leader. As for how to manage the specifics, I plan to totally hand it over to the clan. How does that sound?"

Qin Yi’s eyes lit up, sparkling with brilliance: "You agree to let the clan handle the wine?"

"Why wouldn’t I? I have no interest in managing these trivial matters."

Su Pan’er rolled her eyes at him, clearly still excited from earlier: "A wise leader not only stays open to others’ opinions, but also identifies and utilizes people’s strengths. They place individuals where they can best utilize their abilities."

Qin Yi’s eyes lit up at her words!

"You speak so wisely, Pan’er. I’ve never heard anyone say such things before. Truly, you are very intelligent!"

He exclaimed sincerely.

Thinking of how the old clan leader of the Qin Family would be dealing with Lui Muyi in the future, the displeasure in his heart quickly dissipated.

You must have heard it, otherwise it’d be strange!

Su Pan’er chuckled in her heart.

"Actually, there’s more. For instance, when the Supreme is in the position, we can expect a bountiful harvest that year, but the following year might not be as good. If the Supreme is in the palace, the year would experience drought, but the following year will be especially good with favorable weather. These are all traceable, but you don’t know them!"

"Is that true?"

Qin Yi sat up and listened attentively, his eyes shining brightly.

"Certainly. By utilizing these patterns, we can buy grain when the price is low during the harvest year, then sell it when the price rises in years of shortage, earning a huge profit. This way, not only can we generate a considerable profit, but we can also ensure that the commoners have enough to eat during famine years, thereby avoiding hunger and starvation."
