The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 13 Sowing Seed
"Girl, what are you holding?" Mrs. Zhou asked while serving porridge for her family.

"The old monk grandfather I met in the town yesterday gave it to me, and asked my father to plant these seeds in the ground." Shen Xuan told a white lie for future troubles.

"Didn't the old monk in town give you anything yesterday?" Father Shen was the first to express doubt when he said this.

"The old monk grandfather gave it to me at home last night, and asked me to learn martial arts from him. He said that when I grow up, I will have a good life and a rich life. Our family will get rich. In order to protect myself, I must learn martial arts."

"Did you come to our house last night?" Mrs. Zhou was a little horrified, after all, she couldn't accept that someone came to the house at night without knowing it, and Shen's father next to her also had an ugly face.

"Little girl can learn martial arts." Zhou thought that there would be no woman learning martial arts in the dynasty, and who would marry such a daughter-in-law in the future.Luckily, Shen Xuan didn't know what the Zhou family was thinking, because this proposal thought about getting married in the future, so I have to say that women in ancient times had long-term ideas.

Seeing the reaction of his parents, Shen Xuan knew that the other party was different.Shen Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw Brother Qiu drinking porridge next to him.

"Well, the master doesn't like outsiders and will teach me martial arts at home at night, and he promised to let me teach my brothers during the day." Shen Xuan took the opportunity to make a suggestion.

"Really, sister, can I learn how to fly like a hero in the drama?" Brother Qiu's eyes lit up next to him, it turned out that every teenager has a dream of being a hero.

"Nonsense, I only learned Chinese characters yesterday, and I need to learn martial arts today." Father Shen still thinks that only those who can learn how to read characters can be successful, this is the thinking of a real farmer.

Seeing Brother Qiu lowered his head and lost his vitality because of Shen's father's severe training, Shen Xuan acted like a baby to his father, "Dad, brothers are just learning some big characters from Brother Wuyou and will enter the school in 3 months. The young masters of the big families in Shanghai have also exercised their bodies since they were young, let the brothers learn, and it will be easier to deal with robbery in the future."

"Okay, let Brother Qiu learn from the girl first." Zhou didn't believe how much Shen Xuan could learn, she was still too young, "Girl, what is this." Pointing to the seeds on the table.

"The master said that the seeds here can be exchanged for money when planted in the ground." Finally, someone noticed the seeds. This is his opportunity to make a fortune.

"Sister, what kind of seed is this? Can it really be exchanged for silver?" Rural people's enthusiasm for silver is irresistible.

"Well, father, the master said that this is a new thing that has not been found in other places. This kind of sunflower is called sunflower. When it grows up, it will be the melon seeds sold in the town. The master also left me a secret recipe. When the time comes, it will be fried into different flavors of melon seeds." You can earn money. This kind of watermelon is ripe in summer. It can be used as fruit and quench your thirst, and these things grow best in sandy soil!"

"The melon seeds you mentioned have several flavors, are you guaranteed to be able to fry them by then?" Xie Wuyou, who was already on the side, asked.

"There are original flavors. Five-spice ones. Chicken soup ones. There are 5 or 6 flavors. The master said that they can be sold for 3 cents a tael."

"What, so expensive?" Zhou screamed excitedly.

Everyone expressed their excitement when they heard the three cents and one tael, which could be seen from Father Shen's clenched fists, and Xie Wuyou, as a businessman, quickly discovered the business opportunities inside, "Second Uncle Shen, I think you can try everything, according to As far as I know, there is not much harvest for other species in sandy soil."

"Otherwise, let's try all kinds of things, at worst we can learn a lesson, and Master Xiaoxuan is also someone who can be trusted." Seeing that Father Shen was still vacillating, Zhou advised him.

"Or, let's discuss it with Dad at night. After all, if we can't plant these things, our family will have a hard time." Being down-to-earth is a true portrayal of Shen's father.

"Second Uncle Shen, do you think this will work? I'll give you the price of two taels of silver per mu of land. Your family will try to plant it first. If it succeeds, then sell everything to me. If it doesn't work out, I won't want the money either. Be an investment." After getting along with each other for the past few days, I know that Shen Xuan is a child who is more wise than a monster, and I am inexplicably sure that her idea will come true.

"How can Mr. Xie pay for this? Let's discuss it tonight."

Seeing that Father Shen's mood fluctuated because of Xie Wuyou's proposal, Shen Xuan cast a contemptuous look at Xie Wuyou, and wanted to exchange two taels of money for the beauty of his family's gratitude and deeds, and he still had a lot of money.If Xie Wuyou knew what was going on in Shen Xuan's mind, he would yell for injustice, but he knew that Shen Xuan had earned a lot of money, but he didn't tell others.

After telling everyone about her proposal, Shen Xuan finally relaxed, and just waited for the result of their discussion.Breakfast was over soon, Father Shen helped Grandma Song's house next door dig the ground, Xie Wuyou started today's teaching class, Mrs Zhou was busy cleaning up after meals, Shen Xuan went back to the house to get ready for bed.

It has been 10 days since the last proposal to plant sunflowers and watermelons. The result of the final discussion was that the uncle's family took out two acres.Shen Xuan's family planted a total of 5 acres of 7 acres, and did not accept Xie Wuyou's proposal.There was a light rain yesterday, and the land happened to be loose, so I decided to sow seeds today.

After a hurried breakfast, everyone went to the field.Originally, Shen's father did not agree with Shen Xuan going to the field, but Shen Xuan said that her master told her to go and have a look, and everyone agreed.When we got to the sandy ground, everyone started working while it was cool.Uncle's two acres can be planted in one morning, and Shen Xuan herself knows that people are small, so the two acres were planted under Grandpa Shen's decision.At noon, Mrs. Zhou sent the prepared lunch to the field, so everyone didn't go home to eat.During the busy farming season, everyone hastened to sow seeds and didn't have much time to go home for dinner.Shen Xuan took a look at the nearby farms, and there were not many farmers who could have lunch, and everyone wanted to eat together at night.

In the afternoon, Shen Xuan saw that everyone was busy, and when she had nothing to do, she sneaked to the mountain to dig treasures when everyone was not paying attention.I haven't been to the mountain for a long time, the trees have all grown green leaves, and the breeze is gentle.Shen Xuan took Maomao out of the space and let him relax in the mountains.

"Maomao, do you want to eat meat?" Shen Xuan lured the little fox.

"Squeak."

"If you want to eat it, then you can catch it yourself. After you catch it, I will make meat for you at night." Ever since she occasionally knew that Mao Mao could catch animals, Shen Xuan began to squeeze Mao Mao.Looking at Mao Mao who ran into the grass, Shen Xuan smiled unkindly.Seeing a few birds, Shen Xuan used her skills to knock down some of the stones as hidden weapons.

Creak, creak, Mao Mao's voice came, and Shen Xuan knew that this was to let herself follow the sound to get food, after all, small things cannot be moved.Walk in and take a look, good guy, a wild boar weighing more than 100 kilograms is lying on the ground with blood on its body.The unlucky wild boar didn't know how he was instantly killed by a fox before he died.Hey, who made the little fox mutate in the space, those claws are sharper than knives, necessary for going out.
