Chapter 215: Little Yang Tun
Time passed, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye. Today is the day when they discussed growing corn. Shui Miaomiao and a few children came here in person. First, they watched them grow corn, and they could give me some advice on anything wrong. Second, they could let the children experience the hardship of farming.
"Aunt, are we going to Xiaoyangtun?" Shui Lanlan lifted the curtain and looked out, and the little girl was very excited.
"Well, yes! I'm going to grow corn at home today. Let's go and have a look today. Lanlan, it's too hot outside, don't let your little face turn red." Shui Miaomiao smiled and helped her niece put down the curtain, for fear of sanitizing her pretty little face.
"Aunt, is that corn delicious?" Shui Lanlan stared at her aunt with big eyes, wondering if the corn is delicious.
"It's delicious. When the corn is tender, it's sweet and glutinous. You can cook it directly and make it into corn ribs, pine nut corn, corn dumplings. When the corn is mature, you can also make it into corn cakes, corn cakes, and corn porridge. In short, you can make a lot of food."
Shui Miaomiao liked to eat corn the most in her previous life. When she remembered the smell of corn, she couldn't help but drool and talked about many ways to make corn in one breath.
"When will that corn mature?" Shui Lanlan felt saliva flowing out when she heard her aunt's description, and she couldn't wait to eat the fragrant corn.
"The corn takes about a hundred days to mature. If you want to eat corn, you have to wait."
"Aunt, can we grow some corn in the backyard? Then we will eat the tender corn you mentioned." The little girl thought that there was still some land in the backyard, so she wanted to grow some corn, which was convenient to eat.
Shui Miaomiao was stunned. She originally wanted to plant herbs in the acres of land in the backyard, but she thought that there were not many seeds of sweet potatoes. It would be bad if she was really planted on the newly bought 700 acres of land there and was cut as feed for cattle and sheep.
So she planned to plant sweet potatoes in the backyard. As for the sandy fields, she divided them into half and planted herbs, but the potatoes and sweet potatoes were also finely picked seeds by her, spread them thinly in a container, and then covered them with gauze and sprinkled with water to wait for it to sprout.
The seeds that need to be cultivated at home are soaked in diluted space water. The water that is usually kept moist is also space water, so the germination rate of those seeds is very high.
"Aunt, aunt, come back to his senses." Shui Lanlan saw that her aunt was in a daze, stretched out her hand and shook it in front of the girl's eyes, and her mouth pouted slightly. Could it be that the aunt was unwilling to let her grow corn in the backyard? The girl was a little unhappy.
"Well, Lanlan, it's my aunt who is distracted. It's not bad that you just wanted to grow corn in the backyard, but the aunt who has other purposes for those acres of land. Otherwise, we have other open spaces in the field, and probably those are enough for us to eat."
Shui Miaomiao suddenly felt guilty when she looked at her niece's aggrieved appearance. She was distracted just now and misunderstood her niece.
"Auntie, since this corn is delicious, can we sell it to a restaurant?" Seeing that his aunt agreed, Shui Lanlan remembered that his aunt said that the corn was delicious, and wanted to ask if the corn could be sold for money.
The little girl is full of money now. She wants to use the money she earns to buy a gold-wire soft armor for her father. However, she didn't say anything about this. She has saved up fifty taels of silver now, which is still far from the sky-high price, but she will work hard.
"Lanlan wants to send the corn to a restaurant to sell. Well, of course it's OK. In this way, the land in our backyard is gone. Is there still a mu of open land in our side garden? Otherwise, would we plant corn there?"
Shui Miaomiao didn't want to disappoint her niece. She thought for a while before she realized that there was an acre of open land in the vegetable garden, where corn was the most suitable.
"Aunt, isn't acre of land too little? Uncle Jun also has a few acres of vacant land. Can I plant it there?" Shui Lanlan was a little reluctant when she heard that there was only one acre of land.
"That land belongs to Uncle Jun. Uncle Jun is not at home, so do you have to discuss it with Brother Luo?" Shui Miaomiao didn't want to let her niece learn to get something for nothing since childhood, so she guided her to think in the right direction.
Shui Lanlan blinked and was puzzled. She thought carefully about what her aunt said. Di belonged to Uncle Jun's house. If he wanted to use it, he had to discuss with others, "Then I told Brother Luo if it is usable."
"Even if Brother Luo agrees, you can't use other people's fields in vain. You have to pay for other people's things." Shui Miaomiao's voice was very gentle.
"Then can I cooperate with Brother Luo? I will give the money for corn seeds to my aunt." The little girl was very smart. The aunt said something and thought a lot, and she just figured it out in an instant.
"Well, Lanlan, you don't understand the planting matters, so you can ask Uncle Sanhu." Shui Miaomiao knew that his niece was still young, so she mentioned his professional matters and wanted to find a professional person.
"Lan Lan understands, my aunt wants to say that Lan Lan doesn't know how to plant, so she has to find Uncle Sanhu who has a great farming. With the help of Uncle Sanhu, I can successfully plant corn." Shui Lanlan was very smart. After thinking about it, her eyes lit up suddenly.
"Lanlan, remember that you need to find professional people to do professional things. No matter what you want to do in the future, you may not be very proficient, but you must know and remember them." Shui Miaomiao did not say it very profoundly and said in the simplest language.
"I remember that in the future, Lan Lan will understand clearly what she wants to do before she can do it. Only when she understands can she will not be cheated, and only when she understands can she do things better." Shui Lanlan didn't know how to express it, but she already understood what her aunt meant.
"Girl Xiao Yangtun is here." Shao Guang's voice came from outside the carriage.
"Lanlan, let's get off the car. You don't want to grow corn, so let's take a good look today. If you don't understand, you can ask your aunt or uncles who are farming." Shui Miaomiao got off the car first and carried her niece down.
"Aunt, Aunt Shui." Shui Yunjun and the three boys also got off the carriage behind and saw Shui Miaomiao coming down and surrounded him with a smile.
"Today, my aunt brought you here to see how uncle grows corn. You can also try it in the fields. From now on, I will bring you here every once in a while and let you see the process of corn from seeds to maturity."
