Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 957: On the move (2)

Chapter 957: On the move (2)

"Soil…what? What do you mean by soilless vegetables? How can vegetables grow without soil?" Han Yijin had never heard about such a method. He was sure that his teacher told him that soil needed to be fertile only then would the farmers be able to grow vegetables.

His father also said the same thing. Han Yijin never heard about any vegetables that could be grown without soil!

Su Wan smirked upon hearing his question, she arched a brow and then replied, "Why do you think that I was pressing the term of this method to be never known to others? It's because of this reason. This kind of farming has never been known to others and it's all because of my trial and error that I have come up with this technique."

"If this technique is known to others, then what would happen to all the hard work that I have poured into developing it?"

She turned to look at Mister Han and then stated, "I am aware of the fact that there is no fertile land that is not occupied by the Lai family. This is the reason why I came up with this method of farming, for now, we can only grow green vegetables, potatoes and tomatoes. However, I am trying to test whether or not we can plant onion and bottle guards."

She paused and added, "If we work properly then we can also grow carrots."

When Master Han heard Song Yan's words, he was stunned. He did not expect that Su Wan would be able to come up with such a technique. If she was speaking the truth, then it meant that they would be able to grow vegetables on even the barren land! That would be enough to give the farmers who were exploited by the Lai family a way to earn decent earnings.

Even Madam Han was shocked, she did not expect Su Wan to come up with such a way to grow vegetables. Now she understood why Su Wan was this arrogant and haughty. It was because of her skills that she could act all stuck up.

No wonder she was made the magistrate by the Emperor. She was a woman who knew things that many did not even her husband was not aware of such a farming method! Because if he did then they would not have suffered like this.

She suddenly understood why Yun Zhao was this respectful towards Su Wan. This woman was too smart!

She was practically the saviour of this city!

"If you do not believe me then you can come to my house with your luggage," Su Wan said to Master Han and his family before getting up from the couch on which she was sitting. "I will show you the zucchini and cabbages that I am growing at my house. There are also tomatoes and lettuce, really fresh and wonderful." She was quite proud of the small garden that she had started cultivating.

She was thinking of growing some eggplant and cauliflower but that would take some time.

"I … We will come as soon as possible!" Master Han who had been given another chance at life immediately agreed. He did not want to lose this opportunity that was handed to him.

"Then I will wait for you to come," Su Wan nodded at Master Han who looked excited. She left the Han House while Yun Zhao stayed behind to discuss a few things with Han Fu.

Once she was gone, Master Han who was seated on the couch slapped his thigh excitedly.

"If what she said was right then I a.s.sure you that the Big Ocean City would get better and better in the future," Master Han was sure of this as he could see that Su Wan was really smart. Since she was so confident, he did not think that she was lying. "Ah soilless vegetables, I really want to see how they are grown."

Master Han had always been curious about things and was eager to learn new things. Now that Su Wan had ignited his curiosity, he wished he could see the soilless vegetables that she was telling him about.

"Now, now you need to calm down," Yun Zhao was also very happy with the things that Su Wan was doing at the Big Ocean City but at the same time, he was quite worried. "I know that you are excited but this is not the time to let your guard down."

Yun Zhao's smile turned serious as he questioned, "What do you think about staying with me tonight?"

When Master Han and his family heard the question of Yun Zhao they were quite surprised. The four of them looked at Yun Zhao as Han Jie asked, "Uncle Yun is something the matter? You can tell us."

"Oh dear, I do not want to make you all panic but you might not be aware of this… Madam Lin made a profit of twenty thousand taels in the first week of the Snack Street opening," Yun Zhao sighed as he shook his head. He still couldn't believe that people from other cities were coming or sending their servants to buy snacks from the snack street.

It all happened because of a merchant who came to sell rice grains to their city. Once he left, Yun Zhao guessed that the merchant might have spread the word about Snack Street. With the rich having money and curiosity to see and taste everything new and rare, it did not take long for word to spread.

"This is a good thing, this way you could pay most of the taxes that are being piled up in the county," Han Fu said to Yun Zhao who sighed even more heavily. He agreed and said, "That is true but what you don't know is that because of the great business of the Snack Street… the Lai family is on the move again."
