Chapter 1067: Chapter 1064: Specifically Came Over

“Now the lady has opened another bookstore in Yuzhou City, just like the one back in our old home, where the people are welcome to borrow books. She has also shared with the people how to make sweet potato flour and how to make noodles,”

“Of course, the merchants knew as well, and quite a few have started selling noodles.”

“Thus, the price of noodles in Yuzhou City is relatively low, but the lady hasn’t lowered her prices. The business at the sundries shop is still doing well because everyone knows that it was our shop that started selling noodles first, and they taste the best.”

“Now the lady doesn’t compete with the local merchants for profits. Instead, she has the caravans take the noodles to sell in even more distant locations.”

“These days, many of the common folk in Yuzhou City say that our He’an Shop is run by good people. If they display the He’an Shop sign, even if there are other shops selling the same things nearby, the people prefer to patronize our shop.”

Lu Chuan became more excited the more he spoke. He knew that as long as the lady was around, the lives of the local people would be better.

Thinking about it this way, the lord was responsible for maintaining stability, while the lady taught the people more skills.

After letting him finish, Chu Heng’s thin lips slightly moved as he asked, “Who told you this?”

“The maidservants by the lady’s side. They help with the lady’s work all the time and know everything very clearly.”

“My lord, shall we keep up with the lady?” Lu Chuan couldn’t help but steal several glances at Chu Heng, tentatively asking.

Chu Heng didn’t reply but he stood up and walked directly outside.

A hint of a smile flashed across Lu Chuan’s eyes as he quickly followed.

Chu Heng saw Ye Muyu in the manor’s fields.

She was crouching down, lifting her skirt, with a wooden spade in hand, digging at something.

As he approached, he just heard Ye Muyu’s light voice saying, “That’s good enough. You’ve done very well. Winter is coming, so make sure to save all the charcoal ash from your everyday fires for next year’s use.”

Using wood ash for growing potatoes was somewhat strange to Zhang Shi and the others. However, considering that the potatoes grew wild in the mountains and that no one had cultivated them before, it was normal not to know how to grow them.

Whatever the lady said, they would do, simply hoping for a good harvest in February of the following year.

“I’m going to check on the warm greenhouse,” Ye Muyu said as she stood up and dusted her hands, then turned and saw Chu Heng.

“Why have you come?” Ye Muyu was a bit surprised. “Weren’t you going to spend time with the children?”

Chu Heng: “…”

“I’ll be there shortly.”

Ye Muyu had just nodded when someone ran over from a distance—it was Su Mei.

“Lady, Miss Zhao has arrived. She said she came specifically to see the manor’s warm greenhouse,” Su Mei reported.

“Where is she now?” Ye Muyu didn’t expect Qingqing to have followed along.

“She has already entered the manor and put down her luggage.”

“I’ll go back right away. You go ahead and entertain her.” Su Mei nodded and turned to leave.

Ye Muyu dusted the dirt and ash from her hands, and suddenly there was a handkerchief in front of her.

Looking up in surprise, she saw Chu Heng receive a water flask from Lu Chuan, offering to pour water for her to wash her hands.

“Wash your hands.”

Seeing Ye Muyu’s lack of response, Chu Heng spoke up.

Ye Muyu hesitated for a moment, then reached out, only to find that the water in the flask was warm, making washing her hands not the least bit uncomfortable.

When she finished washing her hands, Chu Heng nonchalantly handed the water flask back to Lu Chuan, then took the handkerchief and meticulously dried her clean, white hands.

Being looked after by Chu Heng, Ye Muyu viewed him with a hint of skepticism for a long while.

Chu Heng, with eyes downcast, took whatever he was doing very seriously, no matter what it was.

“What’s wrong?” He asked softly after seeing her stare at him.
