Strong wife likes farming

Chapter 41 Buying Seeds

In the store, Yun Shu first picked out a piece of cloth for Luo Qingyi with small florals on a white background. She has a weak personality, so it's suitable for her to wear such clothes.

Yun Xin is still young, just at the age when she loves to run and dance, so she shouldn't buy cloth that is too expensive, as it will wear out holes after two days of wearing it.Yun Shu picked out a piece of water-red soft cotton cloth for her, and the clothes made out of this were cool and strong.

As for herself, Yun Shu didn't have many requirements for the color, so she picked a piece of water blue cotton cloth. She has to do a lot of work every day, so this kind of cloth is most suitable for her.

One piece of cloth can make two clothes, which is enough for the three of their mothers to wear for the time being.

"Ma'am, how much are these cloths?"

The proprietress of Jinxiu Cloth Village is a young woman in her early thirties. Although her appearance is not very outstanding, she is easy-going and always smiling, giving people a very down-to-earth feeling.

"These two cotton cloths are cheap, 65 renminbi a piece, and this one with white floral background is more expensive, it costs 120 renminbi. Miss, is this your first visit to my store? My sister-in-law will give you a cheaper one, give me [-] renminbi Got it!"

It's not expensive to buy three bolts of cloth for 120 cash, but Yun Shu thought the cloth here would be very expensive!
But Yun Xin opened her mouth wide in surprise, and quietly tugged on her sister's sleeve: "Sister, we haven't sold three hundred Wen in the morning, and it will cost more than 100 now..."

It's so expensive!It's too expensive!

Yun Shu chuckled: "Silly girl, this is still the most common cloth. After my sister earns money, she will buy you better and more expensive cloth to make clothes, so that you will become as beautiful as sister Yulu, okay?"

The clothes on Qin Yulu's body cost at least ten taels of silver, which is not counted as the manual fee, but she believes that as long as she works hard, she will surely make her mother and sister live a better life!
After buying, the two sisters went shopping in the street again, and now Xiao Yunxin said that she would not spend money on shopping anymore. It was not easy for her and Hai Wazi to pick up shells. It was so difficult to earn money, but It can't be spent so quickly.

However, when passing by the sesame seed shop, Yun Xin still couldn't control her eyes, and her saliva was about to flow to her feet.

Yun Shu shook his head amusedly, asked the price and bought ten sesame seed cakes, which happened to be ready for lunch when he got home.

Originally, she wanted to give Yun Xin something to satisfy her cravings, but this girl just insisted on refusing to take a bite. Hearing the sound of her sister swallowing all the way, she laughed until Yun Shu's stomach ached.

Tomorrow, the village will start to divert the water source, and Yun Shu believes that this time the spring water will be diverted.If she wants to grow rice, she has to start preparing early. After all, planting rice is not like other things. All you need to do is sprinkle the seeds into the ground. Rice has to be selected and raised, which is very troublesome.

So when passing by a shop selling seeds, Yun Shu went in without hesitation.

The shopkeeper of this shop is an elderly grandfather with a kind face and kind eyes.

Yun Shu didn't know anything about growing rice for the first time, not even how many seeds were needed.

The old man chuckled and said, "You are quite interesting, what about your parents? Let them come and pick the seeds. I have so many seeds here, even a child like you can't understand them!"

If the adults could come, she would not bring her younger sister to the town to set up a stall to earn money.

"Grandpa, my lord can't come because of something, just help me choose." After thinking for a while, she said again: "My family has three acres of land, how many seeds should I buy?"

Everyone has said this, and the old man couldn't say anything more, so he walked tremblingly to a wooden shelf, pointed to a few linen bags and said, "One mu of field usually needs seven catties of seeds. You have to use..."

"21 catties!" Yun Shu read out subconsciously.

The old man on the opposite side was taken aback, then smiled and said: "You doll's brain is quite easy to use, my kid has been doing business for so many years, and I can't count as fast as you!"

Yun Shu couldn't help but blush a little. These are the simplest multiplication formulas. If she shows off her mental arithmetic ability again, the old man will probably regard her as a god.

Closer to home, there are three kinds of rice seeds in the store, average, better, and the best. Of course, the price will increase accordingly.

It was Yun Shu's first year of farming, and she didn't know what happened to the three acres of wasteland. She might waste the seeds if she bought them.

"Grandpa, just give me something like twenty catties."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Shu saw a pocket next to him in a flash: "Huh? Soybean?"

Now is a good time to sow soybeans, and beans can be used and eaten in many ways, so planting them is much better than rice.It's just a pity that beans can't be eaten as a staple food, otherwise Yun Shu would definitely plant all the three acres of land into beans!

Hearing that she was going home to plant beans, the old man laughed: "I just said how do you know how to farm the land? No one eats these beans, let alone our Dongling, it is Dayong next to me. I heard The beans are also used to feed pigs! Girl, you should go home to grow rice obediently, don’t buy anything, and be careful when you go home and your parents will beat you!”

Although the old man was kind, but this Qing Yun Shu Que didn't intend to accept it.

"Grandpa, just sell it to me! Oh yes, my family also raises a lot of pigs, so I can go home and feed them."

Silently saying a sin in his heart, Yun Shu lied without blinking.

Seeing her persistence, the old man couldn't say anything, so he had to sell it to her.

Beans yield more than rice. Yun Shu plans to grow rice in two acres of land and beans in one acres of land.Moreover, it is convenient to sow beans. In the past two days, she hastily dug out the ground and planted beans.

Carrying fifteen catties of rice seeds and fifteen catties of beans, Yun Shu's waist was about to break.Fortunately, it was not far from the city gate, so Yun Shu simply sent the seeds out of the city and put them on the seventh uncle's bullock cart.

The seventh uncle was leaning against the shade of a tree and squinting. He was shocked when the sisters woke him up and thought he had overslept!

But it was almost noon now, and as soon as Yun Shu put down the seeds, she saw the two aunts from the same village coming back with their respective baskets on their backs, and she hurriedly called Yun Xin to find Aunt Wang to close the stall.

If it was luck that the jam sold well the first day, then it must be strength today.It wasn't just Aunt Wang who set up stalls on South Street, there were also many other villagers from Yunshui Village.So as soon as everyone got in the car, they started discussing Yun Shu's jam, not only her jam, but also the shells that Yun Xin picked up.

Shells can be seen everywhere in their village. The little girl and Haiwazi saw them when they were picking shells. Who would have thought that such unwanted items could be sold?

But everyone is not stupid. They know that what those people buy is not shells but jam, so now they are just saying that they are envious, and they have never thought about picking up shells and selling them.

After looking around at everyone, Yun Shu took the opportunity to tell her about collecting shells, and also clearly stipulated the size, requirements, and price for collecting shells.

The larger ones cost one penny, the medium ones cost two pennies, and the smaller ones cost four pennies. Of course, they can’t be too small. She still has to use shells to pack jam, which is too small to sell.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the car started talking.Not to mention the shells on the beach, even the ones picked up at home for children to play with can be sold for a lot of money.And there is no need to occupy the adults in the family to pick up shells, as long as children can do it.

But can Yun Shu really make money by spending money on such shells that no one wants?

An aunt was a little worried, and took Yun Shu's hand and asked, "Shu girl, can you really sell so many shells if you want them? Don't drop them in your hand! Anyway, this thing is worthless, We won’t ask you for money anymore, just give it to you for nothing!”

When she said that, the other aunts also nodded.

We all belong to the same village, and it is right to help each other. Yun Shu's heart is warm, but she still sticks to the previous practice.

"Aunts, don't worry, even if my shells can't be sold, they will be used in other ways in the future. But what you said is true, it's not a problem for me to collect so many, so I'll make an appointment first. Let’s count, one hundred for the big one and one hundred for the medium one, and two hundred for the smaller one. If the aunts have suitable shells in their hands, bring them to me as soon as possible after returning home. If it’s too late, I won’t accept them. !"

After Yun Shu said this, the aunts quickly agreed, and they all figured out how many shells they could use at home, and where the shells on the beach were the most, the biggest, and the best.

Listening to everyone's chattering discussions, Yun Shu's lips curled up slightly with a gentle expression on her face. This kind of plain but warm life really made her feel very comfortable!
