Chapter 98

"Okay, my aunt will drive the carriage." Zhang Ren stopped, turned around and went with her to the stable to lead the horse out.

"Mother, you're back." Zhang Yuehua didn't see her mother in the morning, and only after her father told her did she know that her mother had gone to ask her sister-in-law to borrow money.

Zhang Meng drove home in the carriage, saw his daughter and said, "You're back, go and change quickly, our mother and I will go to the yamen to buy two acres of paddy fields."

Zhang Yuehua heard her mother's words, "Mother, you...?"

Zhang Ren patted her on the shoulder and said, "Your mother, I borrowed 20 taels of silver from your sister-in-law Fang Qing." Zhang Yuehua listened to her mother's words, her throat was so choked that she couldn't speak.

Seeing her daughter lower her head, Zhang Ren continued to whisper in her daughter's ear: "Sister Yue, you and your mother should be more tired in the coming year, and try to return your sister-in-law's money in the coming year."

Zhang Yuehua wiped her face, "Mother, don't worry, I will work hard."

Zhang Ren went to Fang Qing to borrow money, and Zhang Xi was also debating whether to grow watermelons, or to learn how to raise fish from her elder sister, since she doesn't have a paddy field in her hand to raise fish, so if she grows watermelons, her few acres of land can still make do with it. .

"Jin's" saw his wife-in-law sighing, and asked cautiously, "Wife-in-law, what's wrong with you? Is there something bothering you?"

When Zhang Xi heard Fu Lang's voice, she picked up her daughter beside her, "I was thinking, if our family wants to grow watermelons, we should raise fish with eldest sister and the others."

"My wife, what do you think?"

"I don't know! I want to raise fish, but our family doesn't have paddy fields." Zhang Xi said with a sigh.

"Wife master, can you listen to my thoughts?" Jin was also thinking about this question last night. There are only two labors in their family, fish farming is not possible.

"Tell me, what is your idea." Zhang Xi has no good idea now, she heard what Fu Lang said, and wanted to hear what good idea he had.

Sitting next to her, Mrs. Jin said, "This is what I think. First, our family has no paddy fields, and second, there are only the two of us as labor force at home, and there is still a little sister Qing who needs to be taken care of."

When Zhang Xi heard what Fu Lang said, she had always thought about raising fish, so that she could harvest rice and buy fish, but she did the calculations but forgot that her family only had two laborers.

Seeing that his wife had listened, Mrs. Jin went on to say: "We are planting watermelons. Our husband and wife can take sister Qing to work in the field, and we can watch her and don't let her run around."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Jin hugged her daughter in her arms, "Our family is no better than my eldest sister and my cousin's family. They have old people to help with the work in the field. Our family is only our husband and wife. If we only rely on the two of us to raise fish Get busy!"

Zhang Xi glanced at her husband, then at her two-year-old daughter who didn't know anything, "Brother Yan, our wife and I will plant watermelons! In two days, I will learn how to grow watermelon seedlings from my sister-in-law."

Zhang Yunqing heard her mother talk about planting watermelons, and asked with wide eyes: "Mother, do we want to plant sweet watermelons like my uncle's?"

"Yes? Mother and father took Sister Yun to plant watermelons. We Sister Yun are very happy." Seeing her daughter's small appearance, Zhang Xi smiled and took her into his arms.

"Are you happy? Sister Yun, I like to eat the sweet watermelon from Uncle's house."

Fang Qing didn't know what the members of the Yue family thought. She was looking at the Codonopsis ginseng in the vegetable garden with Dr. Xu who came to her house, "Doctor Xu, look, this is the Shangdang ginseng I planted."

Dr. Xu looked at the hundred or so seedlings in the field with pity, "Miss Fang, is this how you planted them?"

"I originally wanted to find a sunny place to plant, but when I found these Shangdang ginseng and brought them back, the ground was temporarily unable to grow food, so I planted them here."

Dr. Xu knew about Shangdangshen Xiyang, and she had no other thoughts when she heard Fang Qing's words. She only thought about whether the artificial planting of medicinal materials could survive. "Miss Fang, do you think it's really possible to plant successfully?"

Fang Qing heard from her that all the medicinal materials in the medical center were dug from the mountains by people. Now she asked about the artificial planting again, and she didn't find it strange, "Yes, as long as we manage it properly, the medicinal materials will definitely be planted successfully. .”

"Miss Fang, I wonder if you will plant medicinal herbs on a large scale if you succeed in planting later."

Fang Qing didn't think about planting on a large scale. The Codonopsis ginseng in her field was found by accident. It is not practical for her to plant on a large scale.

"Doctor Xu, it's impossible for me to cultivate a large area." At this point, she glanced at Dr. Xu and said, "Doctor, you also know that it takes four or five years for a good Codonopsis pilosula to grow. There are a lot of things to do, where is the time to get medicinal materials!"

When Dr. Xu heard that she didn't have time to plant, he was in a bad mood, "Miss Fang, it takes several years for me to know the year of planting medicinal materials, but in our area, the only person who knows how to cultivate medicinal materials is you!"

"Doctor Xu, don't say that. There are so many talents in Daxia. How can it be possible that I am the only one who can plant?"

"Miss Fang, let me tell you the truth! Daxia has also been looking for techniques for planting medicinal materials over the years, but it requires too much money. Daxia spent a lot of money to cultivate a few medicinal materials."

Having said that, Dr. Xu sighed! "These medicinal materials are often sent to the military camps in Daxia, and there are very few medicines that can be distributed to various medical centers!"

Fang Qing was shocked when she heard this. The medicinal materials are under the control of the royal family. If she succeeds in cultivating them, the royal family will arrest her and spend all day planting medicinal materials.

"Doctor Xu, my cultivation skills are not very good. You can also see that the Codonopsis ginseng in the field is still young, and you don't know whether these things will survive after the winter, so please don't let me plant them, doctor. This job is really not for me."

After Dr. Xu heard her words, he felt completely speechless. She had obviously planted them successfully, yet she still said that these ginsengs could not survive.

Fang Qing was worried about being caught planting medicinal herbs, and didn't want to continue discussing this topic with her. After chatting with Dr. Xu, she personally sent her to the carriage and let her leave.

After she sent Dr. Xu away, she sat alone in the yard and said to herself, "I've been a little bit too embarrassing these days. It seems that in addition to raising fish and planting watermelons, other tasks must be carefully observed before proceeding." .

Zhang Zelin was making a quilt in the house. After seeing his wife send Dr. Xu away, he came back and sat in the yard talking to himself. He put the embroidered cotton cloth in the basket, went to the yard and sat in front of his wife, "My wife, what are you talking about!"

Hearing Fu Lang's words, Fang Qing raised his head and glanced at him, "It's nothing, just thinking about the rice in the paddy field, when will I ask someone to collect it?"

While embroidering cotton cloth, Zhang Zelin said, "It will take several days! At least we won't be able to harvest the rice until we fish out all the fish in the fields."

"Yes, it will take a few days." Fang Qing took the fabric in his hand, "Brother Lin, are you sewing the quilt now?"

Zhang Zelin showed her the almost embroidered cloth in his hand, "This is not a quilt. My brother made two quilts, and I made three myself. The child's quilt is almost enough."

"Then what did you sew?" Fang Qing felt that since enough was enough, why did he continue to embroider.

 Dear babies, I found that the update time is not fixed, and the update time is quite chaotic, so I decided to update normally at 7 o'clock every night from tomorrow, and update at 7 o'clock every day from now on!
