Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 14 Seed
Tired for three days, on this day, Liu Qingcao got up late.

"Sister, sister, wake up, Uncle Niu has been here for a while, sister..." Liu Jiangbei called softly in Liu Qingcao's ear.

Liu Qingcao woke up in a daze and rubbed her eyes.

"Huh? Isn't it three days already? What is Uncle Niu doing here?" Liu Qingcao put on her clothes quickly. She didn't understand, and Liu Jiangbei also shook his head.

After leaving the courtyard gate, Liu Qingcao saw an old cow in old clothes, she stepped forward suspiciously, and asked:

"Uncle Niu, you"

"Return the bowl!"

Before Liu Qingcao finished speaking, the old man Niu took out the bowl.

Liu Qingcao: ...

Why don't you give it to Liu Jiangbei, you have to wait for yourself to come out to give it, it's really weird!

"Uncle Niu, did you have breakfast, did you have something to eat together?"

"Ok!"

"..."

In the kitchen, Liu Qingcao made three bowls of braised pork noodles, put chopped green onions on them, and brought them out.

The food at home is almost full, Liu Qingcao plans to wait a few days to go to the town to buy some vegetable seeds, and clean up the vegetable garden left by the original owner's parents to plant.

After breakfast, the old man Niu was sent away. Liu Qingcao and Liu Jiangbei started to make mud bricks together. They were made one by one, dried in the shade, and then burned in the kiln.

In the spare time in the middle, Liu Qingcao picked up a hoe to pound the vegetable garden or go to the mountain to cut firewood.

Slowly, seven days passed like this, and a lot of red clay bricks and firewood ash were piled up inside and outside the house.

She also turned over the vegetable garden. After covering the ground with leaves, the ashes left behind were just used as fertilizer.

"Jiangbei, my sister is going to the town to buy something today and come back. You just stay at home and wait. I'll cook something delicious for you when I come back." Liu Qingcao didn't want to take him to the town for the time being. People looked at it, and another one was that Liu Jiangbei was too small, so it was inconvenient to take care of it.

Liu Jiangbei nodded without crying, sat in the yard, held a wooden stick in his hand, and watched his sister go out in rags with a basket on her back.

My sister said that you can't show your wealth when you go out, so she took off her new clothes and put on some worn clothes to go to the street.

At the entrance of the village, the old man Niu is waiting to solicit customers.

I heard that today is the big festival, and some people in the village finally left the village to go to the town to go to the market. When Liu Qingcao arrived, there were already five people in the ox cart, including her, there were just six people, and it was full.

Liu Qingcao was not familiar with these people, and the people in the village were indifferent, and they didn't talk much after getting in the car. Liu Qingcao didn't understand how they could be so indifferent after living in a village for so long.

On the road, several women glanced at the willows and grasses when they got into the car, and they didn't communicate too much. They just kept quiet all the way, and what they heard was the sound of the wheels of the ox cart and the sound of people's breathing.

At the entrance of the town, everyone paid the money and separated. Liu Qingcao walked around the town. Today is the summer solstice festival. There are many people shopping and selling things. This is the busiest place Liu Qingcao has ever seen in the town. once.

At the seed shop, there were not many people at the door, which was in stark contrast to the bustle of other shops.

Opening a seed shop in this era, Liu Qingcao felt that it might be a big loss.

The shopkeeper of the seed shop is about 50 years old, with gray temples, mild facial features, and a smile at the corner of his mouth, looking approachable.

Zhang Youliang saw a little girl entering the shop, and went up to say hello with a smile: "Little girl, what are you buying? Tell me, Uncle Zhang, I'll get it for you."

"Uncle Zhang, I want to buy some vegetable seeds. Let's see what kind of vegetables are suitable for planting in this season."

"If you want to be quicker, plant peppers, red amaranth, cucumbers, cabbage, and small green vegetables. If you don't rush to eat, winter melon, pumpkin, and eggplant. In fact, the time difference is not too big. It depends on what you like to eat, little girl. These Vegetable seeds are commonly planted by farmers.”

Zhang Youliang spoke carefully, and Liu Qingcao thought about it in his heart.

"Then let's talk a little bit about what Uncle Zhang said. By the way, Uncle Zhang, you said it's a common plant, but what about the uncommon one?" Liu Qingcao became a little curious.

Seeing that she was interested and he had nothing to do, Zhang Youliang took Liu Qingcao to the far corner of the shop, where there was a big wooden box with many small compartments, and each compartment contained different seeds.

Liu Qingcao looked inside, some she didn't recognize, and some she knew.

"Little girl, although this is my own shop and I can't make a lot of money, it's still good to pass the time. However, this batch of seeds was brought from far away, and no one came to ask. It’s been here for several months, and it’s a waste of money to throw it away, and it’s taking up space if I don’t throw it away, Uncle Zhang, I don’t know what to do.”

Zhang Youliang did not lie. He got these seeds by chance when he went out for fun. The shipper came by boat and said that he got them back after looking at the novelty. He was also curious when he heard it. I bought half of it, but no matter how I tried it, either it didn’t germinate, or it didn’t grow well, and some of them grew up, but the output was pitiful. The friend took it back, so he simply threw it away, but he didn’t like it. From my friend's property, this is a rarity sold for [-] renminbi. I can't bear to throw it away, so I just try my luck. It's just that I put it away for almost half a year...

Zhang Youliang sighed, [-] Wen, it took him half a year to save it, [-] Wen, can buy a lot of meat and vegetables, his shop can't make much money, and there are very few people who buy seeds Well, it will be enough to eat a full meal in January, and he can count all the money when he has spare money. Now that he is old, he can only live by guarding this shop.

Liu Qingcao saw that Zhang Youliang was still in love just now, and now he is so depressed, which is a little funny.

"Uncle Zhang, how much are these seeds? If it's cheaper, I'll buy it back and plant it for my younger brother." Liu Qingcao smiled, but she was thinking in her heart that if it was cheap, she would take it all. All kinds of things are also available, and if they are expensive, then just buy what you know.

Seeing that Liu Qingcao wanted to buy it, Zhang Youliang stretched out five fingers without hesitation.

"Fifty Wen?" Liu Qingcao tentatively reported the number!

Zhang Youliang shook his head.

"Five hundred coins, no less. I bought it for eight hundred coins. If it wasn't for the fear of losing money, I wouldn't let myself lose money, right?"

Sure enough, I was thinking too much, even if the seed shop business was in a downturn, it wouldn't be enough to deal with it for fifty cents.

Liu Qingcao looked at all kinds of seeds in the grid, and was secretly happy in her heart. If you can buy them all for five hundred cash, you won’t lose money. A catty of potatoes costs two hundred cash. If you come out with any kind of seed here, you can get your money back if you sell it for a few catties. Yes, no loss.

"Then I bought all of these, and I also wrapped some of the vegetable seeds just now. Uncle Zhang can be cheaper."

"Okay, I'll give you five cents less in a while." Zhang Youliang was happy, and today he finally sold the seeds that had been sitting for a long time. It doesn't matter if he earns a few cents less.

There were a lot of seeds in that big box, and the total weight was about forty catties. The vegetable seeds I bought were light, less than one or two.

It was too troublesome to carry a heavy basket, Liu Qingcao paid the money, put the seeds in the seed shop temporarily, and came to pick them up when she wanted to go back.

The vegetables and meat at home are gone, so I have to buy some more.

Liu Qingcao went to the butcher's stand, it's the festival, there are many people buying meat, and more meat sellers are preparing.

No, when Liu Qingcao left, there was still a lot left.
