Chapter 1037: The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-law of a Blessed Farm Girl (32)
Xu Yin’s attention fell on the few small, round black seeds he had evenly distributed. If she read correctly, they were papaya seeds.
When the stall owner saw that she still didn't talk to her, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, please give me a price. As long as I don't lose money, I'll sell it to you!"
“One hundred coins, I rounded these seeds.”
…”
The stall owner looked embarrassed: "Aren't you making things difficult for me..."
Xu Yin raised her eyebrows: "Not selling?"
“…sell sell sell!”
The stall owner quickly responded.
The two of them paid with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and they were secretly happy in each other's hearts.
Xu Yin: Oh yeah! Finally found the watermelon seeds! I also accidentally got a few papaya seeds.
Papaya is good! Beauty and anti-aging! And corn, giving her wetland a greater use!
As for whether these seeds can survive...she has Linghu water. She should soak it in Linghu water before breeding. As long as the seeds are not dead, they can basically germinate.
If it doesn’t work, just exchange a batch of high-quality and high-yielding seeds in the system warehouse! Doesn't she just want a clear path?
Stall owner: Ouch, I’m such a bitch! You have to run away quickly! So as not to trouble him if you can’t grow anything later!
These seeds were actually picked up by him on the way. He heard that it was left behind by merchants from the Western Regions when they were avoiding bandits. He didn't know if he could really grow anything.
But what the heck! It would be nice to be able to sell it for a hundred and eighty cents in exchange for a few taels of meat! He hasn't tasted meat in half a year!
Both parties to the transaction thought that they were getting an advantage, so they took the money (seeds) and left to prevent the other party from regretting it.
Cui Mengjin took the bag of seeds and said to Xu Yin: "I think the vendor is very arrogant. He took the money and closed the stall. These seeds may not survive."
“No, these seeds are full and they should not be dead seeds. They slipped away quickly, maybe because they were worried that we would regret buying so many seeds.”
At this time, the dead must also be called alive!
Cui Mengjin nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.
Always listen to his wife on small matters, but on big matters...so far, no major event has happened.
The young couple stayed in Chunzhou Prefecture for seven days. The first three days taught Liu Yuanwai's long-term workers how to make new fertilizers and exchanged farming experiences, and the next four days basically went around.
Traveling in ancient times was not easy. It was rare to come here. Of course, you had to do enough shopping before going back.
When they returned, both of them had their hands full—
Cui Mengjin carried a sack of lotus seeds sent by Liu Yuan on his left shoulder, and two pieces of silk cloth sent by the lady in his right hand.
The eldest lady said that she and Xu Yin hit it off immediately.
However, according to Xu Yin's speculation, it was probably because he dug up the lotus roots that Madam Seventh loved so much, and Madam Seven was in a good mood that she gave her the gift.
This pond of lotus flowers is probably an eyesore to the other six ladies—everyone wants to get rid of it quickly.
Fortunately, the relationship between her and Liu Yuanwai is only a cooperative relationship, and it is most likely a one-time thing.
Therefore, no matter what the reason was, the eldest lady gave her two pieces of silk, but she did not intend to accept them in vain. Instead, she returned the other party's two boxes of delicate rose rouge.
The returning passenger ship was actually the same one as last time. The boatmen still remembered the young couple, so the return journey went smoothly.
“Meng Jin! Meng Jin’s wife! Are you back?”
Xu Yin almost didn’t answer the question. She had even forgotten the reason she had given when setting up a road guide.
Hurry to find a remedy: "The doctor said that his leg has been completely healed and there is no need to worry about it in the future."
"It would be great!"
"By the way, the new magistrate of our county came to our village a few days ago, and Li Zheng came out to receive him. He seemed to have mentioned you. You can ask Li Zheng for details."
Godanniang learned that she was back, and immediately sent her the door key to her house and chatted a few words.
Xu Yin said in surprise: "Qinghe County has changed its magistrate?"
Unexpectedly, ten days after leaving home, the top leader in the county would be replaced?
"Yes, Lord Zhou has been promoted! I heard that the new county magistrate is from the capital." Goudanniang was puzzled, "Do you think it's strange? People from the capital are actually willing to come to a small place like Qinghe County to be an official. , wouldn’t it be good to stay in the capital?”
“Perhaps the promotion mechanism stipulates that one must start at the grassroots level first?” Xu Yin added casually.
Anyway, whoever becomes the county magistrate has nothing to do with her, a commoner, and she has no intention of dealing with the government.
However, she had no intention of coming to the mountain, but the mountain took the initiative to come to her.
The next day after Xu Yin and his wife arrived home, a pattering of autumn rain began to fall from the sky.
At this time, the ground was so muddy that the soles of her shoes hung for half a month. Xu Yin stayed at home and smeared the lotus seeds with mud to preserve them, and then continued to make the unfinished deck chair.
It wasn’t until the winter months that the sky finally cleared up.
She put on her patched work clothes, carried a basket on her back and a sickle, and went to the lake and pond with Comrade Xiao Jin, who was carrying a rake and a hoe. After a month, weeds came out again.
The young couple were weeding and plowing the ground, preparing for the first application of basal fertilizer, and planning the crops to be planted next spring.
Xu Mancang is here.
"Erya, the old carpenter has already finished the set of furniture you ordered, but there is not enough tung oil. He is worried that you are in a hurry to use it. Let me tell you that it will take next month at the earliest to finish applying tung oil and dry it. "
Xu Yin waved her hand: "I'm not in a hurry, just let him take his time. Dad, you can help me take the remaining balance back later. By the way, dad, is the harvest good this year? After paying the taxes, is there enough food to eat?"
"That's enough!" Xu Mancang said with a smile on his face when talking about this year's harvest, "The new retting method you taught us really works! Our yield per mu has increased by more than one stone! Now many villages have When promoting this retting method, our family was the first to learn it, and now we are all old masters in the village. People often come to ask for advice, and send some eggs, wild vegetables, etc. Oh, by the way, your mother asked me to carry half a basket. Come here with the eggs.”
Xu Yin raised her eyebrows: Is the old lady Shesou so willing?
"Your grandma has been looking at Sanya for a suitable candidate recently, but she hasn't found one yet. I want to ask you, is there any suitable young man in Dawa Village? I want to settle Sanya's marriage before spring." Xu Mancang said bravely. Intention.
In fact, Mrs. Xu’s original words were: Erya is now building a house and buying land, and is considered a prominent figure in Dawa Village. Let her introduce a partner to Sanya. With her support in the future, Sanya will If Ya marries to Dawa Village, she will definitely not suffer any loss, and maybe she will be able to help her parents' family.
Mrs. Xu didn't dare to pick up Xu Yin's wool openly, so she wanted to use Sanya's marriage to pick up a handful.
Xu Mancang was naturally embarrassed to say such straightforward words.
Xu Yin thought for a while and said, "Dad, please don't rush to get Sanya engaged. I'll ask someone to ask and I'll give you an answer later."
“Okay, okay.”
Xu Mancang didn’t expect that the second daughter would be so cooperative and even agree to keep an eye on Sanya’s marriage.
He originally thought that the mission assigned by his mother would probably go to waste.
After seeing her father off, Xu Yin said with emotion: "How old is Sanya? She is about to get engaged. My grandma is too anxious."
She has to find a way to stay for three more years. Look at the little girl's thin arms and legs, and her body is not fully developed yet.
Cui Mengjin raised his eyes and glanced at her: "I remember Sanya is only two years younger than the lady."
Xu Yin: “…”
If you don’t know how to speak, you can speak less, thank you!
