Tian Minyan kept thinking about Liu Ruyu's awkward child. She couldn't figure out where she had offended him. Was he just angry because she didn't call him by his name?
"Second girl, did you listen to me?" Xiaoxing pulled her sleeves and looked at her with dissatisfaction.
Tian Minyan glanced at her indifferently and said, "You know, it's just how ill-treated and harsh Mother Zheng is on you, and how inhumane and cruel your life is in the Liu family, right?"
Xiaoxing's pink face turned slightly red and she said sarcastically: "It's not as serious as what you said, Miss Er."
Tian Minyan chuckled and said: "You come from a good family in the Liu family. Aunt Zheng is strict with you for your own good. In the future, even if you leave our Tian family and go to a better place, you won't be looked down upon by others.
"
Xiaoxing's face turned pale, her eyes widened and she said: "Second Miss, why should I go to another house? I am the slave you bought back. I will not go to another house. Second Miss, do you want to follow me?"
"Don't be nervous, I didn't say I wanted to marry you, but if you don't do well or violate my bottom line, that's another matter."
"Second Miss, don't worry, I know this." After learning the rules for two days, Xiaoxing became more polite than before.
"Let's go, follow me to the town." Tian Minyan said with a smile and walked towards West Street.
Nowadays, farmers' crops are mostly rice and wheat, as well as cassava, peanuts, sweet potatoes, and corn. Tian Minyan's initial thought was to plant peanuts, sweet potatoes, and some soybeans on Tian Minyan's hundred acres of wasteland.
However, before that, she wanted to go to the seed store to see if there were any seeds with better yields and easier planting.
In Faji Vegetable Seed Store, there were two or three farmers wearing coarse cloths selecting seeds. Tian Minyan walked in. The shopkeeper had just finished a business. When he saw Tian Minyan, he smiled and asked: "What kind of vegetables do you want to buy, girl?"
The various types of seeds we distribute are complete and of high quality, but they are the first in this town."
Tian Minyan glanced at it and saw a large shelf on the left side of the entrance. There were various kinds of seeds on it, and they were labeled with names. They were just ordinary things. On the right, there were cultivated vegetable seedlings, green and green, with the same labels.
There are only a few names that Tian Minyan knows.
Tian Minyan asked for several kinds of rapeseed, and then asked for some grain seeds from the shopkeeper. She found that they were just seeds sown last autumn. They were not much different from the ones she kept at home, except that they came from Shandong.
.
Under the grain, there was a small wooden frame with some grain buds. Tian Minyan picked it up and looked at it carefully. In modern times, Shandong rice is also good, especially pearl rice, which is most suitable for making porridge. What Tian Minyan sees now
What arrived was pearl rice.
Pearl rice is also grown in Yangmei Village, but after Tian Minyan asked several old farmers, the yield per acre is only about two dan, and no matter how good the service is, it is only two and a half dan, which is not much higher.
Tian Minyan thought about the many reasons for the low yield. He sowed, transplanted, fertilized, irrigated and eliminated pests, and also changed tillage. They all did this, but the yield was only between two and a half stones. From this point of view, it means that the soil in the paddy field is not enough.
The reasons were fertility and seeds. Thinking of this, Tian Minyan became more determined in her plan to raise fish in rice fields.
The winter wheat grown in Faji was okay. Tian Minyan bought fifty kilograms and planned to plant winter wheat after the rice crop in autumn. It would also be good to cultivate and cultivate the soil.
The wheat seeds were heavy, so Tian Minyan told her to put them away first. She turned around and asked someone to pick them up. When she was about to walk out the door, her sharp eyes saw a few yellowish wrinkles hidden behind the sweet potato seedlings in the rapeseed seedling area.
Round objects.
She was stunned for a moment, and then she was extremely surprised. She reached over and took out one of them.
"Shopkeeper, this is..."
"Oh, these are crops from the Western Regions. They are called potatoes. I heard that many people eat them. Our boss asked someone to bring them back a few days ago for us to try. It is said that they are also very filling." The shopkeeper came over.
, explained after taking a look at the seedlings in her hand.
"This is a potato." Tian Minyan corrected him.
"Yes, the girl recognizes it too?" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up.
Why don't you recognize it? Potatoes are potatoes. A few days ago, Tian Minyan saw tomatoes and bought a lot of them to learn how to make ketchup. Then she thought of French fries, but she asked about it and sadly found that there were no potatoes in the South.
Tian Minyan did not answer directly, but only asked: "Shopkeeper, how many potatoes do you have here? How much money do you plan to sell them for?"
"The boss said that if anyone wants them, these potatoes will only cost five cents a pound."
"Shopkeeper, I want all the potatoes in your store. You can weigh them." After hearing this, Tian Minyan quickly took out the money bag from her arms and said, "Let's settle the bill now."
"Take your time, girl."
Tian Minyan paused while taking out the money and looked up at the shopkeeper: "What's wrong?"
"Girl, this potato was brought back by the boss for a taste. He is still in the Western Region, and it is not sold in the store yet." The shopkeeper, Jian Tian Minyan, was so cheerful that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I had never seen anyone so anxious.
Tian Minyan was stunned for a moment, then became more happy and asked: "Then when will your boss come back?"
"It's about half a month away."
"It's okay. Do you have a channel to send a message to your boss and ask him to bring me more potatoes? I can place a deposit and make a reservation."
"Girl, how much do you want?"
"Well, one hundred catties, no, three hundred catties..." Three hundred catties can't even cover a hundred acres of wasteland, so it's almost enough.
"So many." The shopkeeper took a breath, looked at the little girl in front of him, and asked hesitantly: "Girl, do you want to grow these potatoes? Do you know how to grow them?" The latter words were somewhat probing.
Already.
Tian Minyan said with a smile: "I have also seen a record of this potato in an exotic chronicle. It is also called potato. It is said that it has high starch content and can be used as food. It is a good thing to feed the stomach in times of famine. It also tastes good.
. As for how to plant, I didn’t explain it in detail, so I just guessed and estimated, but I couldn’t count. I just thought, if you can plant, it’s fine. If you can’t, you can eat it.”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled with relief. Also, how could a yellow-haired girl with no hair on her head know how to grow this thing? She was just craving for a new taste.
But he didn't explain clearly. He only said: "I understand that a girl wants to hide her secrets. It's only three hundred pounds. Isn't it too much?"
"It's okay, my family has just opened a hundred acres of wasteland, so I want to try growing these potatoes." Tian Minyan laughed.
The shopkeeper was surprised and asked: "Is this girl from the Tian family in Yangmei Village?"
Tian Minyan didn't expect that her family could be so famous, so she couldn't help laughing, nodded, and gave him half a tael of silver: "Shopkeeper, here is the deposit. Please tell your boss, so that if he comes back, let people know about it."
Say hello." After that, he took Xiaoxing and left again. Before leaving, he smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, why don't you give me all these potatoes first? I also want to taste this taste."
