Chapter 115: Fighting for reputation without steaming steamed buns

 Everyone in the village had taken back their potato seeds. Lin Xiaoman specially prepared more than 500 kilograms of sprouted potatoes, and Lu Jin took them with him when he went back.

In the next few days, various kinds of seedlings were planted one after another, and Lu Jin would come over to help. Each time he would bring some helpers, and each time he brought different people.

These people were helping and learning at the same time. Every time Lin Xiao filled the field with 'leftover' seedlings, these people would take them back and plant them.

By the time the corn seeds were planted, it was already the end of March, and the extra corn seeds were enough to plant dozens of acres of land, so Lu Jin distributed them to those people.

Originally, Lin Xiaoman wanted to grow a few acres of cotton, but after checking the information, he found out that it was too cold here to grow cotton. In the end, he simply gave all the cotton seeds to Lu Jin and asked him to see if he could find a way to grow it.

When I went to the south, I also copied him a cotton planting, maintenance and picking manual.

Lu Jin had seen the cotton that Lin Xiaoman brought to him before. At that time, he felt that cotton was really a good thing. If cotton could be planted on a large scale, poor people would no longer have to worry about being frozen in winter.

But since it was not suitable for planting here, he used his connections and power to plant cotton seeds in the south.

Lu Jin did not give Lin Xiaoman any money for these seedlings. Instead, he assigned another twenty acres of wasteland to Lin Xiaoman for free and asked someone to open up the wasteland. He also agreed to exempt Lin Xiaoman's family from land tax for five years.

Lin Xiaoman didn't know what to plant, so he finally planted another ten acres of sugar beets and ten acres of peppers.

She also planted fruits and vegetables in the open space in front of and behind the house, and even planted several grapes of different varieties in the yard. The grapes were chosen from old vines. Although they will not bear too many fruits in autumn, they will definitely

Can eat grapes.

Looking at her land, Lin Xiaoman felt extremely satisfied. She would stand outside the yard and look at it for a while every day. She was very happy with the changes every day.

Due to spring plowing, Lin Xiaoman has not been to the county town for several days. Shopkeeper Feng's alabaster ointment has been sold out and has not been replenished.

The spring plowing was about to end today, so I wanted to take a trip to Hedong Village.

There are several large baskets of beautiful small porcelain vases in the carriage. I have to get another batch from Lin Xiaoman.

If it doesn't work, he wants to spend a lot of money to buy the method of making cream, so that he can produce it in large quantities. How much he needs to sell depends on Lin Xiaoman's mood.

Unexpectedly, the carriage was stopped before it took two steps. Shopkeeper Feng opened the curtain unhappily and saw a thin and frail little girl standing under the car, "Shopkeeper Feng, I have a business here.

Do it with Shopkeeper Feng."

Shopkeeper Feng got excited. He didn't dare to look down on the little girl now. Lin Xiaoman alone had made him a lot of money in the past six months. The most important thing was that he got a commendation from the master, and he got hundreds more at the end of the year.

Two silver coins.

Now another little girl has come to discuss business with him. She looks a little more shrewd than Lin Xiaoman. Maybe what she comes up with can make him look good again.

Shopkeeper Feng immediately beamed, "I wonder what I call the girl?"

The little girl smiled and said: "My surname is Xu. I am originally from the capital. Shopkeeper Feng can call me Miss Xu San."

Shopkeeper Feng thought of the exiled Xu family from Hedong Village. He was doing business with Lin Xiaoman, so he was naturally more concerned about the affairs of Hedong Village, especially the rich food list that the county magistrate had announced at the beginning of spring.

Xu family in Hedong Village.

When he found out that this Xu family from Hedong Village was actually exiled from the capital, he didn't expect that he would be so high-profile just after being exiled, and it didn't seem like he was trying to win people's hearts. He didn't know whether this Xu family was smart or stupid.

At this time, when he heard that the little girl said that she was the Xu family from Hedong and that she came from the capital, he guessed that her identity must be that Xu family.

Moreover, he had also heard some rumors about Miss Xu San, and he did not want to be involved with her, so his attitude towards her was not as enthusiastic as before.

"What business does Miss Xu San want to do with me?"

Xu Yuanru naturally felt the change in Shopkeeper Feng's attitude, and the smile on her face almost couldn't be stretched, but thinking of her own purpose, she stiffened her smile and said, "I wonder if Shopkeeper Feng can lend me a step to speak?"

Shopkeeper Feng looked her over and over, and finally nodded.

Jumped off the carriage and gave the driver a few instructions to take the porcelain bottles to Hedong Village.

Then he turned around and made an invitation gesture to Xu Yuanru, "Miss Xu San, please come in."

The two of them entered Feng Ji Rouge Shop. Shopkeeper Feng brought Xu Yuanru to the customer's table. After letting the waiter serve tea, he said: "Miss Xu San, can you talk?"

Xu Yuanru adjusted her mood, smiled lightly, and then took out a round white porcelain vial from her sleeve, half the size of a palm.

Opening the porcelain bottle, the snow-white paste inside was revealed. Shopkeeper Feng took it and smelled it, "It doesn't smell very good."

The corner of Xu Yuanru's mouth twitched. Shopkeeper Feng has been in the rouge business for so many years. How can he evaluate whether it smells good or not?

Her cream is produced by Space, and it is not one of those cheap skin creams with industrial fragrances added. Naturally, it does not have the fragrance of the ice cream that Lin Xiaoman sent over. But her cream is very effective. Not only is it good for the skin, it can also eliminate some scars.

"Shopkeeper Feng, this is not a balm, but an excellent nourishing cream for the skin. While nourishing the skin, it can also lighten spots and remove scars. Shopkeeper Feng can find someone to try it for a few days. If it works well, we can try it again."

We can also discuss the next business."

With the fragrant snowflake cream Lin Xiaoman brought over to compare with it, shopkeeper Feng was not very optimistic about Xu Yuanru's nourishing cream, but she convinced her that she could try it, and use it first before talking.

"In that case, I'll find someone to use it for a few days first. Miss Xu can come back after a while."

As long as shopkeeper Feng is willing to give it a try, Xu Yuanru is not worried about the failure of the business.

She knew everything she took out, and she was not afraid that Shopkeeper Feng would use it, but she was afraid that he wouldn't use it.

After leaving Fengji Rouge Shop, Xu Yuanru went to the drug store and sold two ginseng sticks. She used the money from selling the ginseng to buy two pieces of fabric.

The clothes of this era were all too baggy and shapeless, and she didn't like them at all. After buying the fabric, she could cut it and make her own clothes. Only then would she be able to show off her good figure by wearing the clothes she made, and stand with the country girl Lin Xiaoman.

Being in the same place, there is no need to worry that Lu Jin won’t be able to see her.

How much I yearned to become Mrs. Lu when I first came here, now it’s doubled.

But I don’t want to become Mrs. Lu because I admire the historical celebrity Lu Jin as before, but simply because I can’t swallow it. Why is she so outstanding, and Lu Jin just doesn’t want to look at her again?

Could it be that all the stupid things the original owner did should be blamed on her?

If you don't steam the steamed buns to fight for your reputation, if you can work hard to make Lu Jin's eyes only fall on yourself, and finally step him into the mud, what does it matter even if you change history?

As a time traveler, she didn't believe that she would be any worse than Lin Xiaoman.
