He was particularly intrigued by the land acquired by Qiao Xuan. It piqued his interest enough to warrant a closer inspection. On this occasion, his visit was solely dedicated to delivering a shipment of rice seeds. However, he planned to return in the future to supply Qiao Xuan with seeds for herbs and potatoes.
Over the years, through cultivation and Qiao Xuan's modifications, the potato yield had surpassed the original expectations. Consequently, potatoes gained popularity in Yuzhang. Transporting sufficient seeds for Qiao Xuan was no longer a challenge.
Yuezheng Xiao's arrival stirred memories of the past for Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, making them yearn for their home in Shaoding Village. Previously, the distance from Beijing had made such thoughts futile. However, the proximity of Anze Province, only 500 miles away from Yuzhang, now offered a glimmer of hope. Although the journey was arduous, it was manageable in just two to three days more than a standard trip.
