Qin Di felt extremely happy as she watched the products she produced here being sold one by one from Bianjing to the capital, and now continuing to be sold to other places.
Although it was not perfect in one step, her efforts were not in vain, and everything was developing as she expected.
Standing on the melon field, she watched Boss Huang get on the carriage, and then the vast team of trailers in front of her followed the carriage, and the trailers loaded with melons set off just like that.
"Miss, business is very good this year. Next year I plan to expand a larger piece of land to grow melons. What do you think about the front piece? I have inspected the soil there and it is very suitable for growing melons!"
As if he remembered something, Luo Bu immediately spoke out, fearing that if he didn't say anything this time, he would forget it again next time.
Looking in the direction that Luo Bu pointed, Qin Di blinked. The side that Luo Bu pointed at seemed to be mostly woods, right?
He looked at Luo Bu doubtfully, "Uncle Luo, are you sure that's where it is? I see that there are mostly woods there? It will be difficult to clear the place, right?"
It wasn't that Qin Di wanted to attack the man, but when she looked over, she thought that the so-called big piece Luo Bu was talking about was referring to the large piece of land in the distance that he was pointing at.
After all, the lush green area there is neat and tidy, and it does look like a large piece of planned land.
Hearing this, Luo Bu seemed to be stunned for a moment. He glanced at the direction he was pointing, and then realized that Qin Di must have mistaken what he meant.
"No, it's not. Miss, you will know as soon as you come with me. It's not that far." With Qin Di, the group of people went directly to the place Luo Bu said. In fact, it was a piece of land not far from where they were standing. The land is somewhat sloping.
After walking in, it seemed that the land was much larger than the one just now.
Just when Qin Di was about to say something, Luo Bu spoke first, "This is what I'm talking about. There are indeed some trees here, but there are only a few pine trees on this slope. Just cut them down."
Because they were standing at a higher place and looking down, down this slope is the weed field. Cut down these trees and deal with the flat weeds below, and this will become another large melon field. .
It turns out this is here, Qin Di nodded, she thought Luo Bu was pointing to the large tree over there.
But yes, when I looked at it from that angle, I really didn’t notice that there was flat land below, so I thought it was the woods in the distance.
In this way, it is indeed possible to cut down these pine trees.
Licking her chapped lips, Qin Di touched her chin and nodded while looking at the pine trees, and suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, Uncle Luo, are there only so many pine trees here?" She looked around and saw that all the trees on the slope were pine trees. She glanced further away and saw that there were trees over there, but she wasn't very familiar with them. You can clearly see what kind of tree it is.
Narrowing his eyes, he didn't seem to understand why Qin Di asked such a question. Luo Bu pointed his hand and said, "There are many such trees over there."
Following Luo Bu's hand, he was pointing to the forest in the distance.
He raised a smile and said, "Okay, let's do this, Uncle Luo. When the time comes, you can find someone to cut down these trees and then please send these trees to me."
If you have time, it would be better to separate the pine needles and the branches and trunks. Send the pine needles to my house, and the branches and trunks to Master Lu or to Xitian, is that okay?"
Look at those pine needles, they are a good thing, a magical raw material to escape the heat in summer.
Listening to Qin Di's request, Luo Bu was really confused and scratched his head in confusion, but he agreed immediately after Qin Di proposed it.
"Okay, miss, I will definitely get it done and send it to the place where it needs to be sent." To be honest, although it is a bit troublesome, it is not particularly troublesome. However, he really wants to ask, Qin Di wants
What does this thing do?
It makes sense to send the branches and trunks to Master Lu, but what does Qin Di want to do with the pine needles?
After thinking about it, I finally asked.
Qin Di smiled softly, and then "shushed" mysteriously, "We'll know when we get it out and give you some."
Seeing that Qin Di didn't intend to say anything now, Luo Bu nodded in confusion and stopped asking any more questions.
Before leaving, Qin Di specially picked up a lot of pine needles to make a cool and magical summer drink - sparkling water!
——Qin Mansion
Qin Cheng followed Qin Di and held a lot of pine needles.
As I walked towards my house, I passed by many servants.
Those people had never seen such a battle before, and they just sighed in their hearts.
Why didn't this eldest lady calm down for a moment? She actually came back with a bunch of leaves this time? I don't know what kind of moth she was planning to do...
"Okay, just throw it into this basin.
Okra, go and get some sugar. Get more, finer white sugar. Spring apricot, fetch water and pour it over here. Qin Cheng, go find Brother Miao and ask him for some bottles that can be sealed.
Come here, it needs to be at least long enough to hold these."
Pointing to the pine needles in the basin, everyone nodded despite not understanding.
Just taking a step forward, Okra seemed to have thought of something, "Miss, are you sure you want fine sugar? The fine sugar seems to be quite expensive, and there isn't much in the house. How about I go out and buy it?"
It is true that sugar is not much used in the cooking in the Qin Mansion. The food is relatively light, not spicy, numb or sweet.
So as far as peppers are concerned, Qin He and Lan Qian can still eat the so-called foreign peppers that Qin Di brought back last time, but they still won't eat the other peppers.
They were still wondering why this so-called foreign chili pepper was not at all different from normal chili peppers. It had no spiciness at all, and was slimy and made people salivate after eating it.
But Qin He and Lan Qian both agreed with this taste, so they specially asked the Luo family to grow some. Once the results were available, they would send them over and stir-fry some edamame beans and meat, which was even delicious.
Blinking her eyes, Qin Di nodded. She was really forgetful. This was Dayuan Dynasty, and sugar was a very precious thing. It was not something that could be bought with just a little money in modern times.
"Go to the housekeeper and get money to buy it. Just say it's what I want." He waved his hand. Although it said it was expensive, he still bought it first to get some soda to drink, which would satisfy his craving.
Maybe everyone will like to drink it by then, and she can make it in large quantities.
Well, it’s just sugar…
After thinking about it for a while, she could probably guess that sugar was expensive, but she was not sure how expensive it was. Suddenly, something seemed to occur to her, she could also make her own sugar!
