It had rained two days ago, and a lot of water was stored in the newly dug pond. Ye Chuqiu went out for a walk and saw the bare hills. He thought to himself that tomorrow, no matter what, he would have to plant fruit seedlings, flowers, trees, poultry and livestock.
Bought it back
If we continue to delay, we don't know how long it will be delayed.
But early the next morning, when she was dressed and ready to go out, unexpectedly, two brothers, Lin Qingshan and Lin Qingshi, came to her door again.
"Sister-in-law, are you going out?"
When the two brothers saw her dressed neatly in black, with a veil on her face and a bamboo hat on her head, they knew they had come at the right time.
"What's wrong? Why do you two brothers have time to come over today? Have you finished all the things at home?" Ye Chuqiu had to stop and return to the house to sit down.
The two brothers also have a lot of things to do. Thirty acres of land have to be cleared and the house needs to be repaired, so they have been very busy these days.
"The house has been repaired and the land has been sorted out. We two brothers bought oxen and plowed the land again. Magistrate Qi has been very kind to us. The land is really fertile."
When Lin Qingshan talked about this land, his heart was filled with beauty. These thirty acres of land were much better than the two acres of land that Huang Junsheng sold to them before.
"That's good." Ye Chuqiu nodded and asked: "Since the fields are good, why did you come here today? Is it because you bought cows and planned to treat us to dinner?"
"That's not true. Sister-in-law, you bought a horse before and didn't even treat the guests. The two of us just bought a cow. How could we have the nerve to hold a banquet?"
Lin Qingshan said and handed over the bamboo basket in his hand, "We came here today to bring you some game, sister-in-law."
"These are all dug from our own fields. There are loaches and eels. These things taste so good. We just thought of giving some to sister-in-law for you to try." Lin Qingshi also handed over the bamboo basket in his hand.
Came over.
"Okay, I accept your offer." Ye Chuqiu said and called to the kitchen. Zhao Hehua quickly came over. She handed the bamboo basket to her, then looked at the two brothers Lin Qingshan, "If nothing happens.
, I have to go out today, so I won’t leave you alone.”
"That...sister-in-law."
Seeing Ye Chuqiu looking like he was about to go out, the two brothers became a little anxious, and they didn't show any concern. They just said quickly, "Sister-in-law, we are here today. I have something else that I would like to ask your help for."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"Hasn't our land been cleared? It's just autumn, and we plan to plant something so as not to waste it." Lin Qingshi added at the side.
"That's it, that's it." Ye Chuqiu nodded lightly, "This is a good thing. Once you plant the land, you will have a good future."
"No, it's just this kind of sub-problem...that...hehe."
Lin Qingshan smiled honestly, and Ye Chuqiu knew that it would not be that simple for these two guys with thick eyebrows and big eyes to come here today. They wanted to impress themselves again, so they glanced at the teapot aside, Lin Qingshan saw
He quickly poured tea for her and handed it to her, "Sister-in-law, you are thirsty. Take a sip of tea."
Ye Chuqiu took the tea cup, took a sip, and then asked calmly, "You two, do you want me to help you solve the seed problem?"
"No, we are willing to pay for it, just because we want my sister-in-law to give us some advice." Lin Qingshan said quickly: "This land has just suffered a famine, and we don't know what to plant in our land."
Lin Qingshi also said: "This kind of rice can't be grown at this time. In the middle of winter, we can only grow cabbage and radishes. The seeds are very expensive, but we can't eat radishes all winter."
"Can't we grow wheat?" Ye Chuqiu asked, "Have you forgotten? We used to grow wheat in Dalin Village."
"Ahem, isn't that where the problem lies?"
Lin Qingshan then revealed his purpose, "It is popular to grow rice in this area of Dunchuan, and there is very little wheat. We went to the city and asked, but there is no wheat seed for sale at all."
Lin Qingshi also looked honest and honest, "It's rare to find one that sells it, and the price is sky-high. We simply can't afford it."
Ye Chuqiu heard this and asked: "Is it possible that all the money I gave you before has been spent? Do you want to borrow money from me to buy seeds?"
"No, no, no, it's not." Lin Qingshan shook his head quickly, "We were just thinking about your close relationship with County Magistrate Qi, could we... ahem..."
"Speak clearly, I don't understand." Ye Chuqiu said angrily.
"Can you just ask County Magistrate Qi to buy some seeds? He is an official, so he must have a way to get seeds."
Lin Qingshan and the others asked Ye Chuqiu to do things for more than one thing. She was now thick-skinned, so she simply explained her words clearly, "We thought that the seeds from the Yamen must be cheap, so I thought we could use a back door.
Buy some wheat seeds at the normal price in previous years?”
"There are very few people growing wheat in Dunchuan. Where can the wheat seeds come from in Yamen? Even if they do, what good does it do to me if I go and beg others? And I always go begging others for these trivial things, which not only consumes us.
The favor between us will also make him think that we are greedy." Ye Chuqiu said.
"Sister-in-law, I know you are also in trouble, but the seed seller really set the price to the sky. Who can afford wheat seeds for one tael of silver per bushel?" Lin Qingyun said with some indignation.
"Yes, sister-in-law, if we spend money to buy this kind of wheat, I don't know if the wheat harvested next year will be worth the money. Then we have worked hard for more than half a year, and we have been busy working for these profiteers."
"Yes, sister-in-law, just help us. When the wheat is planted in the future, we are willing to share 30% of the produce in the field with you." Lin Qingshi blurted out.
"Don't worry, I didn't say I wouldn't help you. Since you are so sincere, I will go to the city later to ask you questions."
Ye Chuqiu thought for a while and said, "But I'm not sure whether it will work or not. If you don't buy it, you can't blame me."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, you just have to do your best. Even if you fail, we will never blame you." The two brothers looked at each other and said in unison.
They knew that there were very few things that Ye Chuqiu couldn't accomplish. Since she dared to accept the request, most of the things about Mai Zhong were done.
"Okay, then you go back first. I have also gone to the city. I originally planned to go to the city to buy some things today. I will stop by the Yamen later to help you ask. Just wait for the news." Ye Chuqiu said.
"Okay, okay."
The two brothers said, nodding hurriedly, and waited for Ye Chuqiu to go out first, then followed Ye Chuqiu and walked down the mountain together.
