Chapter 45: Theory of Seed Expansion
When the guy from Pinxiang Pavilion came back, Li Xin had already picked peppers and tomatoes with Yuexiang. Li Xin also packed a basket of sweet potatoes and took them to shopkeeper Sun to see if the sweet potatoes had been harvested this year.
Yes, some should be sold. After the waiter loaded all the things into the carriage, Li Xin also got on the carriage with her two younger sisters. She was going to see Wenbo and Wenhao.
The family has been busy with things, and they haven't seen Wenhao and the others for a long time. Yuexiang and Yueting were also very happy when they knew they were going to the town. Yueting had long been shouting that she missed her eldest and second brothers. When they arrived in the town, naturally,
Let’s go to Pinxiang Pavilion first. Pinxiang Pavilion is open early in the morning, but Pinxiang Pavilion does not do breakfast business, so there are no customers.
The kitchen must have been on fire, and the aroma was coming out. The aroma of food is always the most tempting. Although she had already eaten breakfast at home, Yue Ting still sniffed hard, as if she wanted to eat.
"Little greedy cat, are you hungry again?" Li Xin tapped Yueting's little nose. What a girl! She can eat a lot and her nose is very sharp. As long as she makes delicious food at home, she will run far away.
She can run home as soon as possible after going. In the past six months or so, the food at home has been better, and she has also changed a lot. Her body has become fleshy, her face has become rounder, and now she looks white, tender and cute. But if it stays like this
If you eat it, you will definitely become a fat man in the future.
"I'm not hungry, but I still want to eat. Shopkeeper Sun has delicious snacks here."
"If you keep eating like this, you will become a fat man in the future."
"A fat person is a fat person. If he is strong, others will not dare to bully me. Isn't Ergouzi just relying on his fatness to bully others everywhere?"
"Who told you that fat people are strong? In fact, that's not the case! If you are too fat, you will fall down on the road. What's the good thing." When the carriage stopped, Li Xin got out of the carriage with Yue Ting in his arms. Yuexiang
He also came down. The waiter moved everything on the carriage to the kitchen.
When Li Xin sisters came in, shopkeeper Sun invited them to sit in the private room upstairs and placed a lot of snacks for them to eat, and Yue Ting started eating them without any courtesy.
"Miss Li came to town again, but have you finished all the work at home?" Shopkeeper Sun asked as he sat down in the private room. The person in front of him was obviously still a little girl, her body hadn't grown yet, and her face was still full of wrinkles.
He was young and tender, but his eyes showed a bit of vicissitudes of life, as if he had seen all the hardships of the world. When he first saw this child, he did not expect that it would bring him so many surprises. At that time, he thought that this child was nothing more than a child.
It was because he came from a poor family that he was a bit precocious, but after working together for so many days, he felt that he really didn't look like a child.
If he didn't look at it carefully, he would unknowingly treat this child as an adult. The so-called strange women in the world are nothing more than this!
"Yeah! After working hard these days, I'm finally done." Li Xin picked up the tea and took a sip. Speaking of it, farming is really not an easy task. It's just a few acres of land, and he actually harvested all the grain.
After so long, she suddenly hesitated, wondering whether it was appropriate to buy a field. It was said that she could hire people, but since everyone was farming, she might not be able to hire enough people.
"It's been a good year this year. I'm sure Miss Li's family will also have a good harvest!"
"It's pretty good, but this season I didn't plant all the rice. Instead, some of the fields were planted with other things. I even brought some to Shopkeeper Sun. It's not a good thing, but it's just a novelty. Let Shopkeeper Sun have a try."
"Miss Li is so humble. Nothing good comes from your family. It's good to see Miss Li today. I have something to talk to Miss Li about!"
"Shopkeeper Sun, it doesn't matter. We are already acquaintances, so you don't need to be so careful with what you say!"
"It's like this. Miss Li has sent several new dishes to Pinxiang Pavilion. Although the food is good, it is still too little. It would be nice if there were more. In addition to chili and sour bamboo shoots, it can be given to other restaurants
I’ll give some away, but this store can’t even use the rest. I mean, can Miss Li consider making more varieties next year?”
"Shopkeeper Sun said that I am also considering it. The reason why I try to plant a little of each kind is because the seeds are novel and I don't know if they can be grown. But I don't dare to plant too many, because there are only a few of each kind. Moreover,
The farmland at home is really limited, and besides, even the small children in our family can’t plant it! These days, without the help of the villagers, harvesting is a problem. Although I also want to grow more, I’m afraid I’m powerless.”
"Actually, everything can be solved. As long as Miss Li has some variety, everything else is not a problem. First of all, Miss Li doesn't have enough money to buy some fields. Even if she doesn't have it, Pinxiang Pavilion can give it to her.
Miss Li will advance part of the money first. Secondly, if Miss Li is too busy, she can hire people or buy some people directly. Life in Miss Li’s family is getting better and better, and it is actually appropriate to buy some people in the family. Speaking of which,
, it is better to buy people than to hire people. With the deed of sale in hand, you are not afraid of people having different intentions."
"Buying people?" Li Xin was really stunned. It wasn't that she didn't understand the meaning. In her previous life, she had read many ancient novels and watched many costume dramas, so she was no stranger to the idea of buying people.
But after all, she grew up in a socialist society! She has been growing up under the Five-Star Red Flag, and after receiving so many years of education there, she really can’t completely regard herself as an ancient person. In her consciousness
Here, buying and selling people is illegal. But it is different here. People with a little wealth will buy a few people to serve them.
It is normal to have people waiting on you here. Not to mention the prosperous places, even in Sanshi Town, there are families with maids and servants.
"Don't Miss Li know how to buy people? It's quite simple. If you need help, just ask Miss Li. And it doesn't take much money to buy people."
"I have never bought anyone before, and I still want to think about it carefully. However, I need shopkeeper Sun to help me inquire about the land. Now that the crops have almost been harvested, if someone wants to sell the land, I'm afraid it won't be possible.
This is the time. Shopkeeper Sun is more familiar with this than me. If Shopkeeper Sun thinks it's suitable, then help me agree to the price."
"Okay, then I'll ask someone to inquire. I just don't know how much Miss Li plans to buy?"
"If they are connected in one place, hundreds of acres can be used. It would be best if it is a village." Li Xin had learned about the fields in this era before, and they usually only cost six or seven taels of silver per acre.
The price of good farmland is even lower, and if it is good, it will be higher. The highest price can be as high as about ten taels of silver. However, the price of Zhuangzi is not simply calculated by the number of acres. However, if there is a good Zhuangzi, it will be more expensive.
She is also willing to buy it. Firstly, the fields in the village are all in one place, making it easier to manage. Secondly, there must be some houses in there for hired people to live in.
