Chapter 1036 The lazy and evil sister-in-law of a blessed girl from a rural family (32)
Xu Yin's attention fell on the few small, round black seeds he evenly distributed. If she read correctly, they were papaya seeds.
Seeing that she still didn't talk to her, the stall owner gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, please give me a price. I'll sell it to you as long as you don't lose money!"
"One hundred coins, I've rounded up these seeds."
"..."
The stall owner looked embarrassed: "Aren't you making things difficult for me..."
Xu Yin raised an eyebrow: "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 both of them were secretly happy.
Xu Yin: Oh yeah! I finally found watermelon seeds! I also got a few papaya seeds by accident.
Papaya is great! It’s good for beauty and anti-aging! There’s also corn, which makes her wetland even more useful!
As for whether these seeds can survive...she has Linghu water. Soak them 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, high-yielding seeds in the system warehouse! Doesn't she just want a clear path?
Stall owner: Ouch, I’m such a bitch! I have to run away quickly! Otherwise, I won’t be able to grow anything and come back to trouble him!
He actually picked up these seeds on the way. He heard that they were dropped by businessmen in the Western Regions when they were avoiding bandits. He didn't know if he could actually grow anything.
But what the heck! It’s okay if he can sell it for a hundred and eighty cents in exchange for a few taels of meat! He hasn’t tasted meat for more than half a year!
Both parties to the transaction thought they were getting a bargain, so they took the money (seeds) and left, lest the other party regret it.
Cui Mengjin took the seed bag and said to Xu Yin: "I think that vendor is very arrogant. He just took the money and closed the stall. These seeds may not survive."
"No, these seeds are full of grains, so they are probably not dead seeds. He ran away quickly, maybe because he was worried that we would regret it and not want to buy so many."
At this time, the dead must also be called alive!
Cui Mengjin nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.
He always listens to his wife about small things, but big things... So far, no big things have happened.
The young couple stayed in Chunzhou Prefecture for seven days. The first three days taught the long-term workers outside Yuan Liu how to make new fertilizers and exchanged farming experiences. The last four days were basically spent walking around.
Traveling in ancient times was not easy, and it was rare to make a trip. Of course, you had to do enough shopping before going back.
When they returned, both of them had their hands full of things——
Cui Mengjin carried a sack of lotus seeds sent by Mr. Liu on his left shoulder, and two pieces of silk cloth sent by the eldest lady in his right hand.
The eldest lady said that she and Xu Yin felt like old friends at first sight.
However, according to Xu Yin's speculation, it was probably because he dug up the lotus root that was dear to Madam Seven, 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, and returned them 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?"
"How are Meng Jin's legs? Doctors in the state must be better than doctors in the county, right?"
Xu Yin almost didn't answer this question.
She had even forgotten the reason she had given when setting up a road guide.
He quickly asked for help: "The doctor said that his leg is completely healed and he doesn't have 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."
When Goudanniang learned that she was back, she immediately sent her the door key to her home and chatted a few words.
Xu Yin said in surprise: "Qinghe County has changed its magistrate?"
Unexpectedly, ten days after leaving home, the county’s top leader would be replaced?
"Yes, Mr. 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 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 common citizen, and she has no intention of dealing with the government.
However, she had no intention of surrendering to Shan, but Shan took the initiative to rescue her.
The day after Xu Yin and his wife arrived home, the sky began to fall with pattering autumn rain.
Now, the ground had been so muddy for half a month that the soles of her shoes were hanging off her shoes. Xu Yin stayed at home, smearing the lotus seeds with mud to preserve them, and then continued to make the unfinished deck chair.
It wasn't until the winter months entered that the sky finally cleared up.
She put on her patched work clothes, carried a basket on her back, held a sickle, and went to the lake and pond with Comrade Xiao Jin, who was carrying a rake and a hoe. After a few months, weeds appeared again.
The young couple was 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 the tung oil is not enough. 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 the 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 balance back later. By the way, dad, how is the harvest at home 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.
Here come the eggs."
Xu Yin raised her eyebrows: Is the old lady Shesou so willing?
"Your grandma has recently been looking at potential candidates for Sanya, but she hasn't found one. I would like to ask you if there is any suitable young man in Dawa Village? I want to settle Sanya's marriage before the spring." Xu Mancang said bravely.
Purpose.
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 you marry me in Dawa Village, you won't suffer any loss, and you might be able to help your mother's family.
Mrs. Xu didn't dare to pick up Xu Yin's wool openly, so she wanted to take advantage of Sanya's marriage.
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 spy on Sanya's marriage.
He originally thought that the mission assigned by his mother would probably go to waste.
After sending her father away, Xu Yin said with emotion: "How old is Sanya? She is about to get engaged. My mother is too anxious."
She had to find a way to keep Sanya for a few more years. Look at that little girl's thin arms and legs, and her body wasn't fully developed yet.
Cui Mengjin raised his eyes and glanced at her: "I remember Sanya is only two years younger than my wife."
Xu Yin: "..."
If you don’t know how to speak, you can speak less, thank you!
