Wei Ruo first took Xiumei to the wet nurse's place, where they had already purchased a batch of wheat seeds for Wei Ruo. These were now stored in the warehouse previously used to store sweet potatoes.
In recent days, due to the large shipment of sweet potatoes, a lot of space had been freed up in the warehouse.
Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to stand guard at the door, and took a long time inside the warehouse before she emerged.
"Meimei, you take Agui and Xiaoba to get these bags of rice seeds to the south side of the city and distribute some to each household. Be sure to tell them that these are high-quality seeds. The amount here might not be enough to plant all the rice fields, so the remaining fields can be filled with ordinary grain varieties from there." Wei Ruo instructed.
The amount of space rice seeds that Wei Ruo could acquire in such a short span of time was limited. She feared that if she waited any longer, the patience of the townsfolk would wear thin.
