Xu Yin's attention fell on the few small, round black seeds he had 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 paid and delivered the goods with one hand, and each other was secretly happy.
Xu Yin: Oh yeah! Finally found the watermelon seeds! I also accidentally got a few papaya seeds.
Papaya is good! Beauty and anti-aging! And corn, giving her wetland a greater use!
As for whether these seeds can survive...she has Linghu water. She soaks it in Linghu water before breeding. As long as the seeds are not dead, they can basically germinate.
If it doesn’t work, just switch to 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! You have to run away quickly! So as not to trouble him if you can’t grow anything later!
These seeds were actually picked up by him along the way. He heard that it was left behind by merchants from the Western Regions when they were avoiding bandits. He didn't know if he could really grow anything.
But what the heck! It would be nice to be able to sell it for a hundred and eighty cents in exchange for a few taels of meat! He hasn't tasted meat in 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 and they should not be dead seeds. He ran away quickly, maybe because he was worried that we would regret buying so many seeds."
At this time, the dead must also be called alive!
Cui Mengjin nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.
He always listens to his wife's advice on small things, but on big things...so far, no big things have happened.
The young couple stayed in Chunzhou Prefecture for seven days. The first three days taught Liu Yuanwai's long-term workers how to make new fertilizers and exchanged farming experiences, and the next four days basically went around.
Traveling in ancient times was not easy, and it was rare to make a trip. Of course, you had to have done 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 Liu Yuan 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 felt like old friends at first sight with Xu Yin.
However, according to Xu Yin's speculation, it was probably because he dug up the lotus roots that Madam Seventh loved so much that Madam Seventh was in a good mood and 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 was only a cooperative relationship, and it was most likely a one-time thing.
Therefore, no matter what the reason, the eldest lady gave her two pieces of silk, she did not intend to accept it in vain, and returned the other party's 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, Lord 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 actually 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 continued casually.
Whoever becomes the county magistrate has nothing to do with her, a commoner, and she has no intention of dealing with the government.
However, she didn't intend to go to Shan, but Shan took the initiative to come to her.
The day after Xu Yin and his wife arrived home, a pattering of autumn rain began to fall from the sky.
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 and smeared 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.
She put on her patched work clothes, carried a basket on her back and 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, the weeds came out 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 there is not enough tung oil. 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 tung oil and dry it. "
Xu Yin waved her hand: "I'm not in a hurry, just let him take his time. Dad, please help me take the remaining balance back later. By the way, Dad, will the harvest be good this year? After paying the taxes, will there be 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. Come here with the eggs.”
Xu Yin raised her eyebrows: Old lady Shesou is so willing?
"Your grandma has been looking at Sanya for a suitable candidate recently, but she hasn't found one yet. I want to ask you, is there any suitable young man in Dawa Village? I want to settle Sanya's marriage before spring." Xu Mancang said bravely. Intention.
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 Ya marries to Dawa Village, she will definitely not suffer any loss, and maybe she will be able to help her parents' 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 keep an eye on Sanya's marriage.
He originally thought that the mission assigned by his mother would probably go to waste.
After seeing her father off, 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 the 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 say it, you can say less, thank you!
