Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 58
"Sister, you can make do with this jar of salt first, it should last for half a month if you save it."

Seeing Jin Sanniang's depressed expression, Lin Xiao knew what she was thinking.

"Oh, then I'm not going to be polite!"

Jin Sanniang hurriedly held the bamboo tube like a treasure, and stuffed it into her sleeve pocket with a smile.

"Sister, I actually came here to ask for something."

Lin Xiao suddenly looked at Jin Sanniang seriously, and said solemnly.

"Oh? Tell me!"

Seeing Lin Xiao's expression, Jin Sanniang restrained her smile and said seriously.

"I want you to help me find some different kinds of rice seedlings, preferably wild ones."

"That's no problem. There are a lot of farmers here and there. I can help you inquire and see if they have any in their hands."

Jin Sanniang readily agreed.

"Thank you!"

Lin Xiao cupped his fists gratefully and said to Jin Sanniang.

"Brother Lin, my sister is asking too much, why do you want wild seedlings?"

Jin Sanniang asked curiously.

Yu Xilin also looked at Lin Xiao with curious eyes, waiting for her answer.

"I want to give it a try and see if I can breed hybrid rice with a high yield per mu. If it succeeds, everyone will be able to afford rice!"

Lin Xiao smiled and said in a flat tone, as if he was talking about a very ordinary and common thing.

After hearing this, Jin Sanniang and Yu Xilin turned pale with shock, their faces full of shock.

Although they didn't know what hybrid rice was, they understood that Lin Xiao was trying to make rice affordable for all the common people.

It's just that these are things that the emperor should worry about, why should Lin Xiao meddle in his own business?

"Brother Lin, what is your intention in doing this? You don't want to rebel, do you?"

Yu Xilin looked at Lin Xiao worriedly and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Lin, don't let your imagination run wild. Conspiracy is a serious crime that implicates the entire family!"

Jin Sanniang also had a serious expression on her face. She knew the seriousness of the rebellion and couldn't help but get scared.

"Hey, what are you thinking! I'm not rare to be some kind of emperor, I just want the common people to eat and drink well and stay healthy."

Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly, looked at Yu Xilin and said:

"Just like I told you, water can carry a boat or overturn it. Only when the people are full of food and drink can they keep themselves safe, isn't that the reason?"

Yu Xilin nodded blankly.

Lin Xiao continued: "Who doesn't want to live a peaceful life? If everyone can't afford food and has to pay such a heavy tax, who can bear it?"

After hearing this, Jin Sanniang suddenly became enlightened.

She finally understood why Lin Xiao did this, and she couldn't help feeling that Lin Xiao's thinking was really far-reaching!
Yu Xilin admired Lin Xiao to the point of throwing herself into the ground.

Don't look at this guy as thin and small, in fact, she has more pretense in her heart than anyone else!
If today's sage can put the interests of the people first like Lin Xiao, the people will not complain!

"Okay, let's stop talking here! If you go on, people who don't know will really misunderstand."

Seeing Yu Xilin's eyes full of admiration, Lin Xiao hurriedly waved his hands to stop them from continuing.

She clearly knows what a wall has ears, and if someone really listens to it, it will be troublesome if rumors spread all over the sky.

"Young master Yu, sister, it's getting late, I have to go back and pack up, so I bid farewell."

Lin Xiao stood up with a smile, arched her fists, and bid farewell to Yu Xilin and Jin Sanniang.

Yu Xilin and Jin Sanniang hurriedly stood up and sent Lin Xiao out of the shop.

After she walked away, the two returned to the store and sat back on the chairs.

"Brother Lin is a very kind person!"

Jin Sanniang looked at Yu Xilin and said slowly.

"Not only great kindness, but also a great talent!"

Yu Xilin read a few sentences about what happened at the poetry club today and the two poems Lin Xiao recited.

Although Jin Sanniang knows all kinds of poems and songs well-knows nothing, but she appreciates these two poems by Lin Xiao, and her impression of Lin Xiao is even deeper.

……

Lin Xiao didn't go back to the inn, but went to Ai Lu Shi to find Zhang Yue.

She deliberately took the bamboo tube containing salt from Mazi's body, just to give it to Zhang Yue.

She knew that Zhang Yue's mother and daughter must not be used to not having refined salt these days.

Sure enough, as she expected, when Zhang Yue saw the pure white salt, his eyes were straightened:

"Sister, I really love you to death!"

"I'll go back tomorrow. Maybe it's me in half a month, maybe it's my two friends from yesterday who came to send salt, and then I'll send some to you."

Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Well, thank you sister!"

"Where's Xiao Zhouzhou?"

"Looking at the watermelon seedlings in the backyard!"

"Watermelon seedlings?"

Lin Xiao was taken aback when she heard the words. She knew from the memory of the original owner that there were no watermelons in the Great Xia Dynasty at this time.

Even if it exists, it must be a product of the frontier customs, and without improvement from generation to generation, those watermelons cannot be imported at all.

Zhang Yue nodded, a little shyly said:

"I ate a lot of watermelons before I took Zhou Zhou to see the Seven Stars. Watermelons have seeds, and I don't like to spit them out, so I swallowed them all in my stomach. Later, when I traveled through time, I made a convenience in the open space in the backyard and grew Out."

"Take me to have a look!"

Lin Xiao was so excited that he dragged Zhang Yue and ran towards the backyard.

Xiao Zhouzhou was crouching in the corner of the backyard and watching something seriously.

Following her gaze, I saw more than a dozen excellent melon seedlings growing vigorously in the corner.

Lin Xiao walked over and carefully observed the trees one by one, and they turned out to be watermelon seedlings!

"Sister Xiaoyue, can I take two plants back?"

Zhang Yue didn't answer directly, but looked at Xiao Zhouzhou and asked for her opinion.

"Yes you can."

Xiao Zhouzhou nodded without thinking.

"Thank you Xiao Zhouzhou, don't worry, I will definitely grow them up and produce sweet watermelons for you to eat!"

"Well! Thank you Xiaolinzi!"

Xiao Zhouzhou imitated Lin Xiaowu's tone and shouted at Lin Xiao, making Lin Xiao dumbfounded.

"Sister, the lip balm is almost sold out, when you bring the salt over, bring some more, it's very easy to sell!"

Zhang Yue said with a smile, with a sweet smile on his face.

"So fast? It's almost sold out in less than two days?"

Lin Xiao exclaimed in disbelief.

She knew that women were the main force of consumption, but she didn't expect it to be so terrifying!
"Why are you lying! These are your money."

Zhang Yue put a bag of broken silver into Lin Xiao's hands, Lin Xiao weighed it, there were about a dozen taels.

"Okay, I'll go back and make more!"

……

It was evening when we returned to the inn, Lin Xiaowu and Mazi had already prepared meals and were waiting for Lin Xiao.

"Xiao Linzi, why are you holding the box?"

Seeing that Lin Xiao was struggling to hold him, Lin Xiaowu hurried forward to help.

As soon as the box fell on his hand, he obviously felt a heavy weight.

"What's in the box? Why is it so heavy?"

Lin Xiaowu struggled to move the box into the guest room, and asked curiously.

"It's a good thing!"
