Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

"Compared to you, my husband and I are just trying to make a living."

"is it?"

Looking into the eloquent Meng Tong's eyes, Master Yun was already 90% convinced that such a woman was not someone an ordinary person could raise.

Looking at Lu Chuan, who was silent, his breathing was steady and his eyes were sharp. His muscular physique was not just for show.

Sitting up straight quietly, Master Yun said sternly, "I... will take all the grain you have."

Yunzhen sat to one side drinking tea, her thin lips slightly upturned, and her eyes glanced at the woman beside the man as she lowered them.

Lu Chuan, like a cheetah, quickly caught this glance. Their eyes met briefly, and then Yun Zhen gave Lu Chuan a gentle smile.

The man's lips were pressed tightly together, and his dark eyes held a warning.

This happened so fast that no one noticed, but Yunzhen's smile deepened.

An interesting couple.

Meng Tong was not surprised at all by Master Yun's generous words, after all, it would be impossible for a family not to be wealthy enough to build such a large courtyard.

The only unexpected person here is probably Yunying.

Because all his claims about being a large landowner with thousands of acres of fertile land were false.

He was just telling a white lie to get Master Yun to buy their grain.

Unexpectedly, Master Yun actually believed it.

Her mind raced to fill in the gaps, but Yunying heard Meng Tong say with a smile, "My husband and I do have some land. Ten thousand acres may not be comparable to a large household like Master Yun, but we manage it quite meticulously, and this year's harvest is pretty good."

"Aside from what we keep for our own consumption, it's roughly estimated to be around a thousand tons."

"Inside, there is flour made from rice and wheat, as well as some novelties that my husband and I discovered in the deep mountains. I wonder if Master Yun can accept them."

! ! ! ! !

There are indeed tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

Yunying stared wide-eyed at Meng Tong, and the others were equally surprised. Lu Chuan, however, remained remarkably calm, even appearing to feel a sense of pride.

Subconsciously licking the corner of his lips, Master Yun's face stiffened slightly as he asked, "What is this newfangled thing you're talking about?"

"Potatoes and sweet potatoes."

Meng Tong took out the things he had prepared long ago and presented them to Master Yun.

He reached out and took it, examining it carefully with his eyes.

Madam Yun, who was standing to the side, also glanced at it twice, a gentle smile appearing on her lips.

"Can you eat these two clods of dirt?"

"Of course," Meng Tong replied confidently. "Would Madam like to try some?"

"So, we're just eating it like this?"

"Of course not." Meng Tong took the potatoes and sweet potatoes from Master Yun's hands and said with a smile, "If you don't mind, Master and Madam, I can have my husband go to the kitchen to make some and bring them up for you to try in a little while."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to him."

"this is what we are supposed to do."

Handing the potatoes and sweet potatoes to Lu Chuan, Meng Tong leaned close to the man's ear and whispered, "I put a bag of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the corner of the bed in the room. Go back and get some to roast."

"Well, be careful."

Lu Chuan gave a few words of advice and then left.

Meng Tong continued talking with the Yun family.

……

Here.

As soon as Lu Chuan returned and stepped into the courtyard, Sheng Yu and the others gathered around.

"Fourth brother, why are you back? Where's your wife? Have you reached an agreement?"

"No!" Lu Chuan replied as he walked away. "I'm here to roast some sweet potatoes and potatoes."

"My sister-in-law is going to sell these things to the Yun family."

"Ah."

"What specific amount are you discussing? We can raise the price a bit; the Yun family is very wealthy."

Sheng Yu revealed his secrets without holding back.

Sheng Xiu, who was standing to the side, glanced at him and said, "Isn't Big Brother afraid of losing friends?"

"No, Yunying told me."

Master Yun: Rebellious son.

While Lu Chuan was roasting sweet potatoes, Meng Tong and Master Yun began their negotiations.

To be honest, he was being a bit of a bully.

"It must have been tough for you two to manage tens of thousands of acres of fertile land!"

"It's alright! We have over a thousand tenant farmers managing the estate for us, so it's relatively easy," Meng Tong lied without batting an eye.

No one doubted him because of his confident demeanor.

Unconsciously comparing the number of people in his tenant households, Master Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Not as many as me.

"Well... let's talk about rice and wheat first! As for the new thing you mentioned... we'll talk about it later."

"can."

"How much rice and wheat did you bring in total?"

"We have about 500 tons of rice and about 100 tons of wheat that we have already ground into flour."

"Don't worry, Master Yun. My husband and I are both people of conscience. This rice is the finest quality, and the flour is also very good."

"Refined rice?" Master Yun asked.

Is it as good as Daocheng?

If it weren't for the exorbitant prices there and the fact that it was only supplied to the capital, Master Yun would have already collected 300,000 catties.

Last year's disaster was a devastating blow to the entire Great Wei. Even though it didn't have much of an impact in the mountains, Master Yun still couldn't believe that anyone could have harvested so much.

Yunfeng and the others also cast questioning glances at her.

The woman remained unfazed, saying, "Our products are all genuinely good, why should we be ashamed?"

"My husband and I brought some rice and flour with us this time, and if you don't believe me, I can bring them over for you to see."

"If Mr. Yun is satisfied, we can continue this business. If he is not satisfied, we will not force him. After all, we do business with more than just you."

The woman was emotionally stable and maintained a respectful yet assertive attitude.

This made Master Yun somewhat embarrassed, making him seem rather narrow-minded, despite being a businessman for over thirty years.

"If that's the case, then bring it over! I'll buy it all if it's good."

With a wave of his hand, Master Yun instructed the servant outside the door to go to the guest courtyard.

Not long after, he returned with Lu Chuan, along with Sheng Xiu.

"Greetings, Master Yun and Madam Yun."

"You are……"

"My name is Sheng Xiu, and I am their second elder brother."

The man stood in the hall, tall and elegant, looking every bit the refined gentleman.

Master Yun frowned but didn't ask any questions. He simply gestured for the servant to take a seat.

Sitting down next to Lu Chuan, Sheng Xiu casually glanced around at the people in the room, taking a second look at Yun Zhen before lowering his eyes and gently stroking the corner of the chair.

Interrupting the previous conversation, Lu Chuan distributed the roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes to the Yun family members present.

Yunying smelled a rich, sweet fragrance, his eyes lit up, and then he picked it up and prepared to put it in his mouth.

Fortunately, Lu Chuan stopped him.

Otherwise, I'll be scalded and squeal like a pig in a minute.

"Peel off this skin before eating, be careful it's hot."

"Oh, that's how it is!"

Not feeling embarrassed at all, Yunying couldn't wait to eat according to Lu Chuan's steps.

The first bite was sweet, fragrant, soft, and chewy, with a smooth and creamy texture that made Yunying's eyes light up.

"Delicious."

"Father, use your savings for your coffin to buy this! I'll take care of you when you get old, and if all else fails, I still have my older brothers!"
