My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 20

"Why does Aunt Wang know how to plant such a precious thing? Our ancestors have lived here for decades and have never heard of this thing." Ren Cuiping hugged the child and chatted with her mother-in-law.The baby cried endlessly, coaxing her to feel restless.

Mrs. Ding shook her head: "She asked me before if I knew Han Siong, so it turned out that what she asked was this Chinese cabbage. I reckoned that it was a vegetable that Chang Rong heard about in the city and could survive the winter. That thing must be very expensive in the city."

Ren Cuiping's heart moved: "Mother, do you think we can also learn to grow and sell? At that time, our family will wait for her family to sell it before we buy it, and we will not compete with them for business." Anyway, it is all about growing vegetables. Will it?It would be great if it could be done.

Mrs. Ding was not optimistic about her daughter-in-law's idea, "You don't know how expensive this kind of seed is? It's just that your Aunt Wang's family has money and dares to do this. Her parents work in the city, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to grow the 100 Wen. Our family can’t afford to gamble.” Mrs. Ding said so, but she also wanted to make more money for the family, if the family can save money this year, maybe her son won’t have to do hard labor next time.

He hesitated and said again: "No one in our family knows how to grow this kind of thing. If it weren't for your Aunt Wang's family, no one in the village would have even heard of it."

Ren Cuiping didn't know that her mother-in-law was a little moved.Strike while the iron is hot:
"Mother, we don't know how, but Aunt Wang knows it. We can ask her, maybe she is willing to teach us."

Who has a way to make money in their hands and doesn't hold on to it?Mrs. Ding shook her head, feeling that her daughter-in-law was thinking too naively: "Why should I teach you? After teaching you, what should I do if her food can't be sold at a higher price?"

"Let's go and ask, it's okay if Aunt Wang doesn't want to teach. Let's try it ourselves. We don't buy so many seeds. We just buy 50 Wen. I have talked a lot about what her mother-in-law asked her to do. It is no different from the other vegetables we grow."

"This...isn't that good?" Mrs. Ding had a troubled expression on her face. She was kind enough to save their family's life.

Ren Cuiping was also anxious, the men in the family went to serve in corvée and took away a lot of food, and now there is a crying baby who needs to be raised.

"Mother, otherwise, let's go and ask my Aunt Wang if we can grow along with her. If she doesn't want to, then we don't have this idea."

Mrs. Ding finally agreed, the family is too difficult.

Li Dafeng's mouth is unguarded, and she likes to go out and leak about any big or small things at home. Although she dare not not do what her mother-in-law told her, it does not prevent her from going out and complaining.

There are not a few families in the village who know how to grow cabbage.Some people cared about the friendship of a village and wanted to say hello to Wang Xiujuan's family first, while some careless people were already planning to secretly buy seeds for planting.

"What? You want to grow Chinese cabbage?" Facing Wang Xiujuan's surprised expression, Ding's wife and eldest daughter-in-law Ren Cuiping blushed a little.

When they came, Wang Xiujuan was still discussing with Ning Qingxi about making some new clothes, and Ning Changrong bought a lot of cotton and cloth back.

Ren Cuiping, who was so sharp when she was persuading her mother-in-law, seemed to be dumb at the moment.It was still Mrs. Ding who said with a look of embarrassment, "This... Sister Wang, it's really difficult at home. Otherwise, I wouldn't make such an idea. If you don't want to, we won't plant..."

Wang Xiujuan was speechless, so she planted it if she wanted to. What should I tell her?Could it be that her family is so domineering that they won't let others grow it if they grow it themselves?People who have planted the land for a lifetime, who can't learn it by looking at it more?But what surprised her was that Mrs. Ding actually wanted to get her family's permission before planting, which is really human.She didn't think about saving Ren Cuiping's life. After all, she also worked with money and owed nothing to anyone.

Ning Qingxi on the side also felt that Grandma Ding's family was a bit real.

"This kind of seed is not cheap, will your family know how to grow it? And it's too cold now, you can't grow this kind of seed if you plant it. If you want to plant it, you have to wait until spring." Speaking of this, Wang Xiujuan suddenly remembered that the people in this village were thinking about it. I'm afraid it's not just Mrs. Ding's family.

You have to make things clear, otherwise all the seeds that people bought at a big price will freeze to death, so you can't rely on her house?

Thinking of this, Wang Xiujuan couldn't sit still.Ask Ning Qingxi to call her father.

"What? You can't plant it now? I saw that you just harvested it in the past few days? It will grow old." Mrs. Ding was a little surprised. Wang Xiujuan's words inevitably made her think a little too much. Could it be that Mrs. Wang didn't want her family to plant it? , and can't save face, why did you find such an excuse?Shouldn't it?Mrs. Wang is not this kind of temperament. She used to speak directly and never beat around the bush when speaking in the village.

Wang Xiujuan said patiently: "Don't look at my winter is still growing, it is not yet the coldest time, and I planted this kind of seed after the autumn harvest, when the temperature is suitable, if you plant it now If we go down, the seeds may be frozen to death directly."

Wang Xiujuan told them a lot of methods of planting and breeding cabbage.

This dispels Mrs. Ding's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's doubts. If they don't want you to follow along, can they tell you so clearly?

After listening to it, Mrs. Ding, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thanked each other a lot, and said in their hearts that they were lucky. Fortunately, they didn't just buy the seeds to plant directly, otherwise the money would have been wasted!That's half of the family's money!
After sending the two of them out, Wang Xiujuan turned around and told Ning Changrong to tell Village Chief Ning clearly, thinking that many people were already planning to go to the city to buy seeds.

Their Ning family is considered a common surname in Xiayuan Village. Although they didn't build an ancestral hall, they are more or less related.If those people lose everything by then, I am afraid that Village Chief Ning will not be able to suppress it.

After the people left, Li Dafeng walked up to Wang Xiujuan with a look of fear on his face: "I'm sorry, mother, I'm all to blame for talking too much, otherwise others wouldn't know how our cabbage was planted. I didn't do it on purpose, and I promise I won't dare to do it again in the future." " She really didn't expect that this cabbage could be sold for so much money, if she knew, she wouldn't tell it even if she was killed.

I heard that Mrs. Ding meant that her family also learned it, and she probably said it when she was chatting with Ren Cuiping.

This is a way for the family to make money. It's over, this time the mother-in-law won't let her man divorce her, will she?
Wang Xiujuan looked at her blankly, this matter can be big or small, this cabbage planting method is not difficult at all, even if Li Dafeng doesn't go out and say it, sooner or later it will spread.

But her big mouth problem really needs to be cured, because she is afraid that if the other party accidentally tells the secrets of the family, it will really kill her.

The idea of ​​​​separating the family is getting stronger and stronger. There is no separation on the surface, but they can live their own lives in private.It's just not the time yet.
