Chapter 535: Plant peppers

There was no answer to this question for a while. Shen Qingqian quickened her pace and stopped when she reached Lin Siyu.

"Sixth girl is here?"

"Yeah, Aunt Qi, with Six Girls here, you won't have to worry about whether the crops you grow will be able to feed the whole family."

"That's right, Aunt Qi, you don't know that Miss Six..."

Someone almost blurted out about sweet potatoes, but was interrupted by Jiang Goudan coughing repeatedly, "Ahem... Which of you brought water?"

As he spoke, Jiang Goudan tugged on the speaker's sleeve and winked at him. Only then did the man realize that he had almost spilled the beans and quickly took off the bamboo tube from his waist, "I have it here, hurry up. Take a couple of sips.”

Damn, if he had said the word sweet potato just now, his head would have moved!

Liang Cheng's original order to keep it secret was very strict and no one else could ever know about it. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed without mercy!

Nowadays, Jiang Goudan and the others are not allowed to grow sweet potatoes. They are only growing them in the small valley, but apart from the amount they can eat themselves, the rest must be sold to the Northern Hubei Army.

"It turns out that the sixth sister is proficient in farming, and she is indeed the granddaughter of Master Shen." Lin Siyu said to Shen Qingqian with admiration on his face.

Shen Qingqian felt uncomfortable being praised, so she changed the subject with a smile, "First go to the fields and see what is suitable for planting there."

In fact, she was not used to strangers talking to her sisters, but Lin Siyu's family was kind to Shen Jun, so even for the sake of her second brother, she couldn't say anything.

Moreover, what Lin Siyu said just now may not sound like much at first glance, but the words "proficient in farming" are tantamount to flattery to her. This is not like a person who can talk.

Maybe it was because of what Shengze said last night. When Shen Qingqian looked at Lin Siyu today, she felt that she was scheming.

Soon they arrived at the field. Mrs. Qi pointed to the field in front of her and said to Shen Qingqian: "Sister Qian, the field between the cypress tree over there and the poplar tree here belongs to our family. Please see what we can do best." ?”

Along the way, Mrs. Lu and Jiang Goudan talked about a lot of things Shen Qingqian had done for everyone before. Mrs. Qi's mentality changed as she didn't want to trouble the Shen family.

Just asking Shen Qingqian to help with planning shouldn't be too much trouble, right?

Shen Qingqian looked around, then squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, crushed it and looked at it, then got closer and smelled it, and then said to Qi: "Auntie, your land is not very different from Brother Jiang's. Same."

That is to say, you can't follow Jiang Goudan and the others to grow things, otherwise the crop yield cannot be guaranteed.

"Ah? Then this..." Mrs. Qi suddenly felt a little confused.

When they came to northern Hubei, they had to start all over again. All the money she had saved before was exhausted, leaving only some scattered things. It was not easy for the family to survive until the autumn harvest.

"Sixth sister, is our land not good?" Lin Siyu asked worriedly.

Shen Qingqian shook his head, "It's not bad, it's just different from Brother Jiang's."

Jiang Goudan's land was about a mile away from the Lin family. Shen Qingqian had thought that the soil quality on both sides was about the same, but she didn't expect that after actually looking at it, she realized that it was different.

"What should we do?" Old Mrs. Lin was also anxious.

Everyone in the Lin family looked at Shen Qingqian. This land was their family's hope for living in northern Hubei!

Shen Qingqian stopped being pretentious and said with a smile: "The soil quality is slightly different, so you can just grow more peppers!"

Yes, the Lin family's land is very suitable for growing peppers.

But Shen Qingqian also had selfish motives for letting them grow peppers.
