Is my wife farming today?

Chapter 65 Look at the ground
  "Yes, I have to leave home for seven days on the 27th. It should be the ripening period of the new season of vegetables. If I'm not here..." Xie Xie counted the days and said hesitantly.

Xue Hanxiang promised: "Master, don't worry, we can leave the matters of the vegetable garden in Zhuangzi to the villain."

She declined and nodded. He was now considered her confidant. He was decisive and neat in doing things, so there was nothing to fault about it. But she didn't come to see the vegetable patch for a few days, and she felt as if she had been scratched by a cat, and her whole body was itchy. .

After that, Xue Hanxiang reported on the current situation every day.

"In the past few days, several vegetable farmers have said that they have received reservations from several restaurants in Kyoto, as well as reservations from vegetable merchants in the Western Market. I followed your instructions and refused them all."

Xie refused to hear the wrong tone in his words, turned his head and looked around, and asked: "Do you think it's a little strange for me to leave these merchants and shopkeepers without making any money? I want to wholesale and contract to those farm laborers to earn some trivial money. ?”

Xue Hanxiang did not hide her doubts, lowered her head and said: "Yes, although I can't understand the reason of this period, I also know that the lady must have her own arrangements for doing this."

"I have my own arrangements. How did you like the place I asked you to see last time?"

Xue Hanxiang said: "There are hundreds of acres of wasteland in the western suburbs that are eager to be sold. The villain has been dragging people around these days to inquire. The location is actually excellent. It is not far from several other villages. It is suitable for restarting the stove. .”

He declined and nodded, looked at the sun, and asked him, "What time is it now?"

"It's just after noon."

"Come on, take me to the western suburbs to see those hundred acres of vegetable fields!"

Xue Hanxiang left as soon as he could, and his daily schedule was very tight. The reason why he could manage the farmhands in an orderly manner was also because of his extreme self-discipline. On the carriage, he talked to Xie Xie about managing Zhuangzi.

"I see that you always come near noon, so in the morning you usually go to the fields to check the growth of vegetables so that you can draw and record them. After inspecting the vegetable fields, you will go along to meet the farmhands one by one and ask about recent events, because last time Everyone has made some money, so they all pay more attention to the vegetable prices, so the villain will ask them some questions to see if everyone has different opinions."

Decline listened and couldn't help but cast admiring glances, "You are indeed a natural manager!"

Although Xue Hanxiang felt that the compliment was a bit strange, she blushed after being said. He was always thinner than ordinary people, "Master trusts me so much, so naturally I must live up to your trust."

"I didn't have time to tell you my plan before. The reason why I refused to sell vegetables to vendors and restaurants was also because I wanted to recruit more farmers and farm laborers to join our vegetable fields. To tell you the truth, my The plan is to cover all the vegetable markets in Shangjing within three months."

Xie Xie did not ask Xue Hanxiang if it was possible, but firmly told her that these were just part of her plan at the moment.

And Xue Hanxiang didn't question it at all.

There has always been a tacit understanding between the two of them that goes beyond belief, for some unknown reason.

"So, the master is worried that after selling to these vegetable traders, they will disrupt the market?" Xue Hanxiang asked.

Decline shook his head, "That's not the case. I want all the farmers in Kyoto to join forces and follow me, because only I can lead them on the road to wealth, right?"

Xue Hanxiang lowered his head and smiled, and after a while he responded dotingly, "Yes."

Xie Xie frowned and glanced at him, "I can say without exaggeration that no one in the entire Kyoto knows farming better than me."

Xue Hanxiang said seriously: "This little person doesn't know, but this little person knows. Looking at the capital, I'm afraid no one knows how to write poetry better than you."

As soon as these words came out, it was Xie Rui's turn to blush.

"Why did this matter come to you?" Xue Hanxiang said: "In the past few days, I have been out looking for land prices. I heard people from all over the capital praising the young lady for her literary talent and her amazing poems!"

Especially the sentence "Don't worry, you will have no friends in the future, and no one in the world will know you." Even he found it very shocking.

The western suburbs and the eastern suburbs are completely opposite to Zhuangzi.

So after driving for nearly an hour and a half, we finally arrived.

Xie Xie's butt was so bumpy that half of it was numb. After getting off the car, he jumped a few steps crookedly in a strange walking posture.

Xue Hanxiang noticed it carefully and said quickly: "Next time I go back, I will definitely sew the carriage cushions in the village thicker."

"Nothing, it's really a long journey."

What they made today was the carriage purchased in Zhuangzi. After all, it was a bit crude and not as good as the configuration of the General's Mansion. But if the land in the western suburbs was really bought, the refusal was intended to avoid gossip and openly treat the place. Xue Hanxiang was fully responsible for taking care of it, so he specially changed the car.

Now arriving in front of two dilapidated Zhuangzi, Xue Hanxiang guided Xie Jue and Jiang You with ease, and walked around behind the Zhuangzi where the walls had fallen off and nearly half of the beams collapsed. There was a winding path there. If you didn't look carefully, it was Determination. Won't find out.

Xue Hanxiang has been here three or four times, so she is very familiar with this area, so she took the initiative to introduce, "These two Zhuangzi are a little dilapidated. I'm afraid it will cost more money to repair them. The reason why the western suburbs are so good is that It’s because the two Zhuangzi are only ten meters apart, and most of the wasteland is distributed here, which is very convenient for placement, but..."

"how?"

After Xue Hanxiang agreed, she had to tell her the disadvantages of this wasteland in the western suburbs, "I heard from the middleman that this land was originally a dowry purchased by a nobleman in the palace. For some reason, the price suddenly dropped. The sale started, and I have been negotiating with that person for the past few days, just to buy the land at the lowest price."

Xie Bui didn't understand these twists and turns. Looking at the stretch of wasteland, she came to the fields with regret.

He held up a handful of loose loess and said regretfully: "The geology is a bit poor. I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort and time to cultivate the land after buying it. But it doesn't matter. Liu Xiugang and I developed radish seeds. The radish is not picky about the geology." , you can plant it with a little cultivation of the land.”

Xue Hanxiang has become accustomed to these days and refuses the special words that pop out of her mouth from time to time, so she no longer asks questions one by one.

Especially when it comes to vegetable growing, he has always felt ashamed of himself on this matter, so he didn't interrupt and just listened carefully.

"It's just that radish has a long growth cycle, so we can't use too much land to grow it at once. We have to wait for me to slowly study and optimize it and shorten the cycle."

Xue Hanxiang said: "The farm laborers have talked about this. It seems that in order to buy the vegetables from our village, the vegetable merchants deliberately spread rumors that there is something wrong with our vegetables. Some time ago, many vegetable farmers asked about this and said Why is it that the vegetable seeds provided by our family can be harvested in less than a month?"

After hearing this, Xie Xie smiled, "January is still a long time. I thought back then... well, I don't even mention it, because the conditions didn't allow it. If we can have plastic and build a greenhouse, then maybe we can grow vegetables again." The growth cycle is shortened by half.”

"When the time comes, we Jiyue will no longer have to look at the faces of the Rizhao people when eating!"

　Two updates today, I still have various headaches, runny nose, sore throat...
