The sturdy peasant girl in space

Chapter 80 Seed
When Bai Jingwen got home, she started busy with spring plowing.

"Xiaowen, these peanut seeds can be planted up to seven acres of land, what do you plan to plant with the remaining three acres of land." Qi Tianyu asked after weighing the peeled peanut seeds.

"Isn't that enough? What are you going to grow with the two acres of Susukida given by the village?"

"It's different. Although the field is not good, you can grow anything on the yellow land, but the sandy land does not lock water, so many things can't survive."

"Why don't we go to the seed shop in the town tomorrow to have a look. There are too many sweet potatoes to eat, and they are worthless if sold."

"It's okay, I just went to the town to bring back the farm tools that were sent for repair."

"If you are going to the town, you can buy some pork and oil, there are no more at home." Li Shi came out and said at this time.

"Okay, there are other things. We just bought it together. Recently, there are fewer opportunities to go to the town to go to the market during the busy farming season." Bai Jingwen turned around and asked.

"Not yet, you can figure it out."

"Okay, let's ask Dad and Ruyi later in the evening, did you really go to the town for a while this time?"

"Xiaowen." At this moment, a hunchbacked man in his 40s walked in from the outside.

"Second Uncle Li, why are you here?" Qi Tianyu asked in surprise.

"I rented more than 20 acres of land from the Bai family from Shuanzi, but Shuanzi is not here, so I can only come to Xiaowen." Second Uncle Li replied nervously.

"Are you Xiaodouzi's father?" Bai Jingwen asked, seeing that Second Uncle Li's portrait was [-] to [-] percent similar to Xiaodouzi's.

"Yes, Shuanzi also rented the land to us for Xiaodouzi's sake."

"Sit in the room, I'll get you some water." Bai Jingwen said.

"I don't need the water, I have to go back later."

"Okay, let's go back to the room." Bai Jingwen said.

After the two came to the room and sat down, Bai Jingwen asked: "Since Uncle Li is an acquaintance, tell me, where do you plan to go?"

"Xiaowen, I don't know if you've been to the field to see it. Today's wheat turn green is very bad. Last year I planted a few days earlier than others, so more people died. Now there are [-]% of the field. The seedlings are pretty good, so let me ask." Second Uncle Li stopped and looked at Bai Jingwen, very nervous, wondering if she would agree to what he said next.

"Why, do you want to cancel the rent?" Bai Jingwen asked puzzled.

"No, no, I want to change to something else, but this will not be able to keep up with paying taxes and paying rent. Our family and Tianyu and the others moved here in the same batch, so we don't have much wealth, so I just want to ask you if you can pay rent. I can give it to you later." Second Uncle Li raised his head and waved his hands in a panic.

"Oh, so, can you pay the tax?" Bai Jingwen asked, she didn't want to be a bad person, but she wouldn't blindly be a good person either.

"It's enough to make up."

"Well, I won't collect it on a quarterly basis. Do you think it's okay to settle the ledger at the end of the year?"

"Really? Thank you so much." Second Uncle Li said with surprise.

"Well, but what are you going to plant instead?" Bai Wen asked, she was also worrying about what to plant, and if possible, she might be able to follow suit.

"I plan to plant half of the spring corn and half of the peanuts, and then plant another season of cabbage after harvesting. In this way, the income will be similar to that of a normal year."

"Okay, then it's settled."

"Thank you Xiaowen, I'll go back and replant right away." Second Uncle Li walked out briskly after finishing speaking.

Bai Jingwen sent people to the door and looked at Qi Tianyu who was standing in the yard and asked, "Have you looked at our family's [-] acres of land? If the seedlings are too poor, you can change to another."

"Look, there are still [-]% of the seedlings. After paying the tax, it is still enough for us to eat. I don't think it should be changed. Uncle Li's family is too poor."

"That's the best."

When Dr. Li and Qi Ruyi came back at night, they asked what they were going to bring and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Qi Tianyu drove the carriage to the town slowly.

When I arrived at the seed shop, Bai Jingwen opened them and looked at them. There were more beans and vegetables. I didn’t see other seeds, so I asked Xiao Er who was moving things: "Xiao Er, do you have any other seeds here? "

"Other seeds, wait a minute." Xiao Er asked in surprise, then walked to the innermost cabinet after pondering for a moment. Bai Jingwen glanced at it, and it looked similar to the cabinet in the pharmacy. It should be a more expensive seed.

"That's all, take a look, the rest are the seeds of medicinal materials." Xiao Er walked over with something like a nine-square grid, and each small grid contained a small pinch of seeds.

Bai Jingwen made a distinction. She only knew watermelon seeds, black sesame seeds, and something similar to cucumbers.

"What kind of seed is this?" Bai Jingwen asked, pointing to a cucumber-like seed.

"This is muskmelon, this is cantaloupe, this is east melon, and these are the cantaloupe brought by the merchant." Seeing that she was interested, Xiaoer introduced them one by one.

"Tianyu, do you have anything you want to plant?" Bai Jingwen turned her head and saw Qi Tianyu was looking at the seeds of beans, so she pulled her over and asked. She only knew that the sandy land was suitable for growing watermelons, and she really didn't know anything else.

"We grow watermelon here, but the yield is not high. As for the black sesame, which has a lower yield and is more expensive, it will be completely blind. As for the others, I don't even know." Qi Tianyu glanced at it and said with a frown. .
