Chapter 50 Meeting on horseback
The carriage rumbled for a while and then stopped. They got out of the car and walked towards Xiao Kee's grocery store.
This shop also has an open layout, but it's not as big as the shopkeeper's shop, with only two facades.
As usual, Chen Fan went to the innermost area first, and there were indeed seeds there. It seemed that it was a common practice for grocery stores to sell seeds.
In this shop, Chen Fan did not see cotton seeds or watermelon seeds, but there was a large bag of alfalfa seeds, a large bag of milkvetch seeds, and a large bag with mixed seeds. The others were some common ones.
vegetables or seeds.
Does the owner of this grocery store really run a horse farm? So many forage seeds?
As usual, Chen Fan wrapped the seeds into round shapes. As usual, he was watched a lot and some people recognized him as the girl who bought the salt-alkali land.
"You bought so many seeds, don't you want to plant more than 100 acres of grass?" Someone was curious.
"Isn't this seed enough to plant all the grass?" Someone made an estimate.
"What's in that bag? There are many kinds of seeds mixed together." Someone with sharp eyes asked. The shopkeeper smiled and replied: "They are also pasture seeds. Several kinds of seeds are mixed together. Just mix them and sow them. The cattle and sheep will be strong after eating them and will not get sick."
.”
"Hey——" they all said in unison.
"Why don't you mix the alfalfa and red flowers together?"
"There are a lot of people cooking and eating those two things, so you can't mix them," the shopkeeper said.
As soon as I said this, the words "I have eaten" started to come up one after another.
"Would you like some?" The shopkeeper took the opportunity to promote, but everyone shook their heads.
"It's enough for one or two meals. Why go to the trouble of growing it? The land is so precious." Everyone nodded.
At this time, Chen Jian and Zhang Ci walked out from behind a row of shelves. Chen Fan was surprised that these two people knew each other? They didn't seem to talk to Liu Ji just now.
Chen Jian had a loud voice: "Miss Liu, Miss Chen, are you here? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
This is what I said.
Huaishan responded with a smile: "When we see something good, we just look at it for a while."
Chen Jian pointed at Zhang Ci: "Let me introduce to you, this is Brother Zhang Ci. We hit it off right away. Brother Zhang Ci, this is the fourth girl of the Liu family, and this is Miss Chen. Her generous brother Zhang Ci decided to
It’s already known.”
We felt like old friends at first sight. Are these two acquaintances?
Huaishan still smiled and said, "We just met at Liu Ji's place."
Zhang Ci nodded: "Xiangjian and Miss Chen met on the road. I went to that land yesterday and asked Miss Chen for advice."
"Oh my, we all know each other? That's great." Chen Jian's loud voice started up again, "That's a good time to get together. How about going to the Xiao's horse farm to ride horses? Young Master Xiao might wait.
It's coming soon, let's make an appointment together. I'll keep talking about it, and I'll say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."
Cao Cao? There is Cao Cao here. We have experienced the Three Kingdoms here, but we have not reached the Western Jin Dynasty. Naturally, there are no Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there are no Southern and Northern Dynasties. Here we follow the trajectory here, dividing and reuniting.
When Cao Cao arrived, he saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy coming in the door, a head taller than Zhang Ci. As soon as Chen Jian saw him, he greeted him: "Brother Xiao, I'm here!"
Xiao Liangqi looked at the source of the sound in surprise. When he saw it was Chen Jian, he smiled and saluted: "Mr. Chen, nice to meet you."
"You're welcome," Chen Jian waved his hand again, "We were talking about going to the racecourse to ride horses. I wonder if Brother Xiao is free these two days?"
Xiao Liangqi thought for a while: "I happen to be free the day after tomorrow. I wonder if Mr. Chen can be convenient?"
"It's convenient and convenient. I can be convenient any day. Let me introduce to you, this is Young Master Zhang, this is Young Master Xiao, this is Miss Liu, and this is Miss Chen." Chen Jian introduced them one by one, and everyone talked to each other.
Said hello.
Chen Jian looked at Liu Huaishan: "I'm going to deliver the post to the mansion today. Miss Liu can also ask your brothers if they are free. The day after tomorrow at 4:00, I will go to Liu's mansion to pick you up." He then looked at Zhang.
He said, "Mr. Zhang, shall we meet at the South City Gate at six o'clock?"
"Okay." Zhang Ci nodded.
"Then it's settled. I still have something to do, so I'll go ahead and see you the day after tomorrow." Chen Jian said, clasping his fists and walking out the door without waiting for everyone to return the favor. Everyone said goodbye to him, and he also
Just waved his hand.
Chen Fan lowered his head and made an appointment for a horse riding party with just a few words. She, an outsider, couldn't keep up.
Xiao Liangqi looked at Chen Fan: "Did the girl choose these seeds?"
Chen Fan nodded: "We chose it."
Xiao Liangqi smiled: "The Xiao family is honored that these grass seeds can be favored by girls. These seeds are usually sold in pieces, and if girls want to plant them, they may not be enough. I still have many on the pasture, so you can use them when you come to play the day after tomorrow.
Give some to the girl to take back."
Chen Fan wondered, did he also recognize her? How did he recognize her? Did he rely on inference, or did he rely on reports from his family members?
Xiao Liangqi looked at Chen Fan's thoughtful expression and smiled even bigger: "Yuanfeng County is so big, and Miss Chen's generosity is already well-known to every household. When Xiao saw Miss Liu and heard that her surname was Chen, he naturally knew that she was buying
Miss Chen, who married hundreds of acres of saline-alkali land."
Become a household name? She doesn’t want to be a household name like this. It would be great to make a fortune in silence. Compared with others’ thousand acres of good farmland, even if she buys a hundred acres of high-quality farmland, it won’t cause any sensation. She can only blame the hundred acres.
The saline-alkali land is so rare that anyone who buys it will be talked about.
Maybe she was wrong. She could just buy a few acres of medium-sized land and cultivate it quietly, but she couldn't resist the temptation of one hundred acres of land. One hundred acres, sowing seeds and seeing a sea of flowers would be shocking.
Chen Fan smiled: "Chen Fan, thank you Mr. Xiao for your kindness. It would be better to buy seeds from Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Liangqi didn't say yes or no, he just said that they could send the seeds on the counter to Liu's house. Liu Huaishan thanked him and asked how much the seeds cost in total.
Shopkeeper Lu quoted a price: "This alfalfa costs exactly one stone, two hundred cents; seven bushels of milk vetch, which costs seventy cents; the mixed seeds cost a total of five bushels, thirty cents; sesame seeds cost fifty cents each, and the others
They are all ordinary seeds, not worth much, so just give them as a gift. The girl is a big customer today."
Is this grass seed more expensive than rice?
Xiao Liang laughed together: "These seeds are all good and healthy seeds. They are of excellent quality and have fresh stems and leaves. Your cattle and sheep will definitely love eating them and they will become stronger after eating them."
Chen Fan nodded, and Xiao He paid.
Huaishan said to Xiao Liangqi: "I have worked hard on your store today. Let's go for a walk on the street now and see you the day after tomorrow."
Xiao Liangqi hugged his fists, and Huaishan and the others walked out.
When they returned to Liu's house, they met a carriage. Huaishan opened the curtain, and it happened that the curtain on the opposite side was also opened, and it was the fifteenth young master Liu Huaijin.
"Brother Fifteen!" Huaishan called out loudly, and Chen Fan leaned his head over and shouted after him. Liu Shiliu called the fourth sister, got off the carriage and walked towards them.
"Brother, has he finished school?"
"Yes. Sister Chen, are you free after dinner?"
Chen Fan nodded and said he was free.
"Can you come to my study after dinner? Let's write together?"
"Okay, if you are free now, I will go over now. I may not be able to see clearly after the meal."
"Then I'll wait for Sister Chen in the study." After saying that, Liu Huaijin returned to the carriage.
