Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space
Chapter 178:
You Can Send People to Transport the Vegetables Now
Seeing her enthusiastic description, Lady Wei smiled helplessly, took a few more bites of the vegetables, and patiently asked, "Will you be adding more varieties of vegetables in the future?"
"Of course, the growing periods of vegetables vary. These are fast-growing ones, and there are slower-producing ones with even better taste. However, their prices will naturally be higher."

"Price is not an issue," Lady Wei said, then turned to Xu Mama. "How much fresh vegetables do the masters of the house need daily?"
Xu Mama naturally understood who the lady referred to as "masters of the house" were and replied respectfully, "The masters need meticulously selected leaves, and they require at least fifty catties of fresh vegetables every day."
Raised eyebrows, Mourong Lingran said, "Today, I brought five varieties of vegetables. Excluding the ones I used just now, there are exactly ten catties left for each variety. In total, it's fifty catties. Considering how the lady has taken care of my business, I'll consider the ones I've cooked earlier as a gift to you. The remaining vegetables will cost one or two taels of silver."
Lady Wei readily let Steward Cao give the silver. It was only one or two taels a day, not expensive for her.
Mourong Lingran took the silver and added, "Lady, last time Ninth Young Master asked me to inform you that our vegetables are ripe, and he can send someone to transport them."
Lady Wei had investigated Mourong Lingran and naturally knew who Ninth Young Master was. She nodded and said, "Rest assured, I will have Jingxuan inform him. But... you're saying Ninth Young Master prefers to send someone himself each time?"
"Yes, it seems Ninth Young Master doesn't want to trouble Young Master Wei any further." After all, he was a commanding officer, sending vegetables every day seemed somewhat demeaning.
Lady Wei contemplated for a moment, then suddenly looked at Cao Steward. "Steward, in the future, you'll personally send someone to fetch their vegetables."
Mourong Lingran furrowed her brows. "Lady, this is..."
Lady Wei smiled, "Don't overthink it. Providing vegetables will be a long-term arrangement. You're still young; I just don't want you to work so hard every day."
"I see. Thank you for understanding. However, I have one more request, and I hope the lady agrees."
"Don't be polite, speak your mind."
Mourong Lingran slowly said, "I hope the lady won't spread the benefits of these vegetables widely."
Although word would get out as long as people kept eating them, if Lady Wei openly advertised them, everyone would come to buy through her. It would create trouble for their family.
Moreover, she only planned to use Lingquan water to irrigate five acres of land. If everyone knew the vegetables had health benefits, it would undoubtedly bring more complications.
Even though they had Ninth Young Master as a supporter, it was still better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Lady Wei quickly understood that her family didn't want to attract too much attention. She smiled and said, "Alright, I promise."
She initially wanted to inform her family about it, but since they were unwilling, she decided to let it go. She would only send them vegetables without mentioning the benefits.
Mourong Lingran nodded, thinking about Fei Xiaocai's situation and hesitating.
Lady Wei, seeing her hesitate, smiled and asked, "Do you have any more conditions?"
Mourong Lingran shook her head and said seriously, "Not conditions. Lady, you should know our background and history now. What I want to mention is the servant girl beside Miss Wei."
Lady Wei was taken aback. "You mean..."
