The father and daughter did not wait long before Yin Jian came back, but they did not expect that they were followed by more than a dozen villagers from Jinjia Village.
"Uncle Jin, why did you come to the city together?"
Su Yu couldn't help but be curious when she saw the group. As far as she knew, every household was busy clearing weeds in the fields, and the group in front of her were all young men in the family. How could they come to the city together?
"Miss Su, Master Su, are these the cows you bought?"
Looking at the eight cows tied behind the two people, the villagers were all excited. The Su family bought the cows and asked if they could borrow them from the Su family after finishing their own fields.
You must know that only the village chief's family has cattle in the village. In the past, cattle were not needed in the fields in Jinjia Village. The fields were covered with stones and the cattle could not plow there.
But things are different now. All the stones in the fields have been cleared away by the government. Not even a pebble can be found in the fields now. The fields in the village can be regarded as first-class fields, and the cattle are not allowed to be used. .
"Yes, my family bought it."
"Miss Su is so generous. She buys eight cows at once."
"That can't be helped. You all know that my family has a lot of land. If I buy less, I won't go out for spring plowing."
That's true, but considering that the Su family's farmland is almost a thousand acres, how long will it take to plow it? They looked at the Su family to borrow cattle and were afraid they couldn't wait.
"We made an appointment to come to the city to buy rice seeds together. Seeing that the time for planting is not far away, let's buy them back first and put them away."
"I remember that in the village, don't we save seeds every year?"
"Forget it, Miss Su has seen the rice grown in our village before. Everyone is worried that the yield will not increase with that kind of rice seed, so they want to come to the city to buy some better rice seeds."
After hearing what several people said, Su Yu thought of the hundreds of acres of land at home. It seemed that his family had to prepare some. He happened to meet a few people, so why not buy it together today.
"Then our family will go shopping with you later."
"Okay, since Miss Su is here, we won't be afraid of being cheated. Besides, who are you going to find these cows? I'll lead them to your family later."
"Then thank you all, Uncle Jin."
"Miss Su, you're welcome."
"Daughter, you can follow your uncles to buy rice seeds. Dad will stay and look after the cows."
"Dad, you can go with us. The place that sells rice seeds is not far from here. Let Yin Jian look at the cows. I don't know about buying rice seeds. It's up to you to make the decision."
"Yes, Master Su, just come with us."
"I still won't go."
"Let's go."
Su Yu took his father and left without saying a word. Before leaving, he winked at Yin Jian. Yin Jian had no choice but to look at the eight cows.
A dozen people went directly to the largest grain store in Kyoto City. The advantage of a large place is that if you want to buy something, you can buy anything.
In the past, there were no shops selling grain seeds in Xinglin Town. Most of them were sold at the market by villagers in the countryside who kept too much seeds at home.
The villagers in each village planted rice left over from the previous year. Some people exchanged it for their own rice because they saw other people's rice being good, or they spent money to keep it as rice seed. Generally, there are very few people. Go to town and buy it.
The villagers had never been to the seed shop in the city, and Su Yu had brought them all the way.
Once when Su Yu came to the city, he discovered this grain seed store. He thought that he would come to his house to buy seeds if his family needed them in the future, so he remembered the location of the store.
When the group entered, they saw rows of seeds on the shelves. Their eyes were dazzled. This was the first time they knew that seeds could be sold in this way.
Su Yu also had to admire the owner of this shop. He was able to make such large seeds that were not necessary for the villagers. It was considered a skill.
There are shelves on three sides of the shop. There are shelves on the shelves, which are similar to but different from drawers. Each one has a slanted design and contains various seeds.
Any farmer would be unable to walk when he saw so many seeds. At this moment, Su Yu looked at the villagers in the village. There were three or two people watching around a row of shelves.
The shopkeeper saw the group of people dressed up and came up to them with a smile.
Nowadays, the life of the villagers in Jinjia Village is easier, and the clothes on their bodies are no longer patched one after another. Although the material is average, it is considered decent in several villages around Kyoto City. The shopkeeper has been in the shop all year round, so he knows what it is like. People come to buy seeds, and what kind of people don’t buy them?
"Shopkeeper, do you have any rice seeds for sale?"
"Brother, you really know how to joke. Our shop sells seeds. How can we not have rice seeds? And there is not just one kind, there are seven or eight kinds in total. I just don't know which one you want to buy?"
Upon hearing the shopkeeper's words, the villagers all gathered around, including Su Yu and his daughter.
"The shopkeeper needs to show us. We've never seen rice varieties with several varieties before."
According to the knowledge of villagers, there are only two types of rice, one is for daily consumption, and the other is glutinous rice.
The shopkeeper led a few people to a row of shelves on the right, grabbed a handful from the bottom row of shelves and spread them out in front of the group of people.
"Guys, please take a look. This rice seed is what we usually grow. The yield is not low, but the rice cooked with this kind of rice is a bit hard and the taste is not very good."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he put the rice seeds in his hand back into the original bin and grabbed another handful from the nearby bin.
"Look at this rice seed. It's different from the one just now. It's a little more slender. This rice seed was shipped from the south of the Yangtze River by our employer. The yield of this rice seed is not as high as the one before, but it's more palatable. It’s very good, the rich families in the city now eat this kind of rice.”
After the shopkeeper's introduction, he caught another kind of rice. When he saw this rice seed, Su Yu's eyes lit up.
"This rice seed is purple, and our boss got it from the Miao border. Not only is the rice cooked purple, but it also has a fragrant aroma, and it tastes amazing."
The shopkeeper introduced five kinds in total, the last two being Nuogu seeds.
Both are similar, neither one is bad.
The villagers were dazzled by the shopkeeper's words. Which one should they buy? They all looked at Su Yu.
The shopkeeper was quite surprised. He didn't expect that the one who made the decision among the group was a little girl.
"Dad, let's buy the second type. The millet grown will definitely be delicious. Plant 300 acres of it, 100 acres of purple rice, and another 100 acres of glutinous rice. I think my eldest brother wants to open a restaurant. , then our family will also save money on buying rice. With the remaining 400 acres, we will take some radishes and plant them back, and when they are harvested in April or May, we can plant grapes."
In just a few words, Su Yu made clear the nearly a thousand acres of farmland at home. Of course Su Laoer agreed.
"Okay, listen to my daughter."
"So Miss Su, what do you think we are planting?"
