"I just thought that since these are drought-resistant and high-yielding, if we can buy seeds, people in our village will not be afraid of starvation. If they can really be high-yielding, I will ask the county magistrate to promote them throughout the county. Then the price of food in Lanzhou County will Then it won’t be like now, where the price rises every day, and everyone can have enough to eat, and there is no need to flee from famine, and there is no need to sell children or daughters.”
When Ji Qingyao said this, her mood became obviously depressed.
The three people who were looking at the seeds all looked at her after hearing what she said. As soon as Ji Qingyao entered the store, she realized that these three were no ordinary farmers at all, especially the ones guarding one on the left and the other on the right. that.
The man in the middle cannot tell his exact age. He is about thirty or forty years old. He has a fair face and no beard. Although he is only wearing ordinary fine cotton clothes, his noble aura cannot be concealed.
The three of them were all dressed as ordinary farmers, but Ji Qingyao could tell that these people were either rich or noble, and the handsome uncle in the middle should be the master of the other two.
There was a person standing on each side of Uncle Mei, protecting him in the middle. The one on the left was tall and tall, with a beard. Judging from the upright position he stood, he should be a member of the military, and his martial arts skills were not low.
The figure on the right is also tall and straight, and has a fair face and no beard, but there is an indescribable femininity about him, and he does not have the imposing power of a beard. When he talks to the person in the middle, he always lowers his head slightly. He also raised his little finger habitually, this must be a eunuch.
In this dynasty, the people who can use eunuchs are either the emperor, princes, princesses, or princes of various palaces. I don’t know which level the three people in front of me belong to, but no matter which level they belong to, it has nothing to do with her. What she just said is also for the future. Potatoes can be planted in large areas to find an excuse.
After receiving the instructions, the person on the right walked up to the shopkeeper and said he wanted to see what kind of seeds were drawn on the picture. A waiter standing next to the shopkeeper suddenly made a sound.
"Shopkeeper, I seem to have seen two of the things that the guy painted just now in the warehouse."
As soon as the second brother's voice fell, everyone's eyes fell on him.
The waiter scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at the shopkeeper stupidly: "Shopkeeper, a few months ago the eldest young master's friend asked someone to bring some fresh things back from overseas. The person who brought the things couldn't tell clearly. What, the kids didn’t know what those bags of things were for at that time, so they just put them in the warehouse.”
"Second brother, can you take out what you just said and let me take a look?" Ji Qingyao held back her inner excitement without showing it on her face, and no emotion could be heard in her voice.
Immediately receiving the shopkeeper's promise, the two of them headed towards the backyard.
At this time, the man with outstanding temperament among the three walked to Ji Qingyao: "This little brother, listening to what you just said, you are proficient in farming."
Ji Qingyao didn't expect that he would greet her. Ji Qingyao raised her fists towards him, "Uncle, I can't even speak of proficiency. I originally made a living by hunting, and I just got a few pieces of paper by chance, which recorded some methods of growing crops, so I thought Come try your luck at the shop. If you can really buy the seeds mentioned above, I will take them back and test them first. If the yield is really that high, we can let everyone plant them together, so that everyone no longer has to worry about going hungry. "
When the beautiful uncle heard that the child who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old was actually a hunter, he couldn't help but feel curious: "You look like a child, not much older than the ones in my family. Why did your parents become hunters like this?" Don’t worry, you go hunting in the mountains alone as a child.”
When the beautiful uncle asked Ji Qingyao, he accidentally glanced at her hand that was holding rice seeds. The fingers were slender and the palm was not big and it was very white, but there were many scars on it. The scars varied in size, and most of them looked a little bit... It's old, so there are a few scratches that must have been made recently.
"I have been hunting in the mountains since I was eight years old. For others, the mountains and forests are a dangerous place, but for me it is another home. The prey I catch in the mountains and forests feeds me. As for my father, he never cared about me."
Now, not only the middle-aged handsome uncle was shocked, but also the two people following him and the shopkeeper were all shocked. What kind of family is this that would let an eight-year-old child go hunting in the mountains?
Others did not notice that Ji Qingyao only mentioned father, but the middle-aged beautiful uncle understood the key point. The child in front of him only mentioned father and never mentioned mother from beginning to end.
The middle-aged beautiful uncle saw that the child opposite him was very depressed when talking about his family.
If the mother is not mentioned, it means that the mother is gone, or there is only a stepmother. Since ancient times, few stepmothers will treat the children left by their ex-wives well. It is no wonder that the child has to go hunting in the mountains to support himself at a young age.
