Chapter 17 Growing Vegetables
When Mrs. Xu and Meiren Liu came back, they saw Caiwei plowing the ground, so they plowed the flower bed with her and scattered the rapeseeds.

After sowing the rapeseed, they also poured some water.

Xu Taibin looked at the flowerbed that had been turned into three ridges of vegetable fields, wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand and said, "I didn't expect that I would still be able to farm in this life."

Caiwei and the others were farming outside, while Leng Luoyue was browsing Mao Chao in her room.There is no such seasoning as chili in this era, but she is a person who likes spicy food, and spicy hot pot is her favorite.For her, life is incomplete without chili.

She searched for chili seeds in the search bar. A pack of chili seeds only cost five points. Buy it!

Because I added pepper seeds to the shopping cart, some other seeds appeared on the recommendation page, and they only cost five points per pack. How could I not buy them at such a cheap price?

Leng Luoyue bought chamomile, sunflowers, jasmine, lilies, and potato seeds.

Although she didn't like potatoes, in this era of low food production, potatoes were of great use. Maybe she would need them in the future, so she bought some and planted them first.

Leng Luoyue exited Maochao, and the seeds appeared on her bed. The bag of potato seeds pressed down on her feet, which was a bit heavy.

Caiwei entered the room, saw the things on the bed and asked, "My dear, what are these?"

"These are some seeds I got in the treasure bag. These are flower seeds. These are edible." Leng Luoyue classified Caiwei.

"The slave will plant these with Concubine Xu and the others tomorrow. Let's say they are the seeds brought into the palace by Guard Zhang." After Caiwei said that, she collected the seeds.The flower garden outside is very big, and there is still room for planting!The food is planted in the flower bed, and the seeds of these flowers are planted in the flower bed of the yard, or around the yard.

Leng Luoyue said: "You just have to arrange it. By the way, when you plant the soil lumps, you need to cut them into pieces and plant them, and there should be buds on each piece."

"Slave, please take note. By the way, your Majesty, how much silver can we sell for the pendant doll we made?"

Leng Luoyue thought for a while and said, "Let's just order five hundred yuan each!" That pendant is more than ten times smaller than the normal long-eared rabbit, so the price cannot be set too high.

The time for Guard Zhang to leave his post was coming soon. Caiwei wrapped up the big and small jackrabbits and carried them to the entrance of Leng Palace.

Caiwei threw the baggage out and said to Guard Zhang who was picking up the baggage: "There are also a few small jackrabbit pendants here. They sell for [-] yuan each. These are the things I will bring tomorrow." She said The list was handed to Zhang Su outside.

Zhang Su glanced at the list and said with some embarrassment: "I took the order from Concubine Xu and Meiren Liu today. You have a lot of things..." He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bring them in by himself.

Caiwei said: "I have to bring a lot more things this time, so we will give you two taels of silver for the cost of this trip."

"Then I'll think of a way and ask other brothers to help get some." He couldn't bring it in alone, so he had to find the three brothers who were on duty with him.

"It's troublesome."

The shift replacement has arrived, and it is still Wang Ping who takes over his shift today.He looked at Wang Ping and said, "Do you want to do some business?"

"What business?" Wang Ping looked at him and asked.His mother was ill, his son had to teach Shuxiu, and the family was short of money. He really wanted to find something to make money.Zhang Su gave Wang Ping the two lists of Xu Taibi and Liu Meiren, holding 20 taels of silver in his hand and said: "You use these 20 taels of silver to buy the things on this list, and you give me the remaining silver." Two, and everything else is yours.”

Wang Ping looked at the list carefully. 20 taels of silver could not spend all these things. His father-in-law ran a rouge shop, so they could give him a cheaper price.He did some hasty calculations and found that even if he gave Zhang Su one tael of silver, he could probably make another two taels.

"Okay," he accepted the order.In the past, Zhang Su would only charge two hundred coins for bringing something, but he didn't expect that he could make such a huge profit by bringing something now.

He took the 20 taels of silver, hammered Zhang Su on the shoulder and said, "If there is such a good business in the future, don't forget me."

Zhang Su said with a smile: "I will definitely not forget you." He had a hunch that in the future, the cold palace would ask them to bring things more frequently, and they would be paid more for their hard work.

Zhang Su sent the dolls to the clothing store. Shopkeeper Feng was slightly disappointed when he saw that there were only four long-eared rabbits.But when she saw the eight small pendants and heard Zhang Su say that each one only cost [-] yuan, she laughed again.He also told Zhang Su to ask the doll maker to make more dolls.

When cooking in the evening, Mrs. Xu brought her stove and cooked a little faster.After dinner, Mrs. Xu left her stove behind. She and Liu Meiren lived together, so they could just share the same stove.This stove is left here to cook. It will be faster to cook with two stoves.

The next day.

After the concubines of Leng Palace received their breakfast, Caiwei, Concubine Xu and Beauty Liu appeared at the door of Leng Palace.

"Where are our things from Guard Zhang?" Concubine Xu looked at Zhang Su and asked.

Zhang Su looked at Xu Taibi and Liu Meiren apologetically and said: "I asked my brother Wang Ping to help bring the list for you and Liu Meiren. They can't bring it in until the afternoon. I only brought what Miss Caiwei asked for." ."

"It's okay, we can just wait." It was appropriate to keep Miss Caiwei's belt tight.

Zhang Su didn't expect them to be so easy to talk to, and thought they would be unhappy!How did he know that Concubine Xu and Meiren Liu could have money to buy things, but it was all because of Caiwei and her master.

"A total of 36 taels of silver were sold. You spent 24 taels of silver to buy these things. I spent [-] taels of silver for my hard work, and there are still [-] taels of silver left." Zhang Su handed the money bag to Caiwei.

Caiwei took it, took out a piece of silver worth one tael, and handed it to Zhang Su.He smiled and said, "My mother-in-law said that if you help us deliver dolls, Guard Zhang, you can be considered as our partner. This one tael of silver will be considered as your dividend as our partner."

After hearing what Caiwei said, Zhang Su accepted it generously and said, "Miss Caiwei, thank your mother-in-law for me."

Concubine Xu and Meiren Liu helped Caiwei move everything back, because Caiwei wanted to rest for two days and do other things, so they didn't ask Guard Zhang to buy wool for them this time.

After putting the things away, Caiwei didn't have time to clean up, so she took Xu Taibi and Liu Meiren to dig the ground to plant potatoes and flowers.There is strength in numbers, and they planted all the seeds in just one morning.

After lunch, Leng Luoyue remembered the soybeans she asked Caiwei to soak yesterday.He quickly asked Caiwei to drain the soaked soybeans, then put them in a basin, cover them with cotton cloth, sprinkle some water on the cotton cloth, and put them in a cool place.
