Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 28

Coincidentally, Mr. Shen upstairs also glanced down, saw Su Qinghe, after a moment of stunned, smiled slightly, Su Qinghe was a little hesitant, did he want to ask him about the seeds?However, looking at Fifth Aunt Su who was walking forward, Su Qinghe was very uncertain.

While hesitating, he heard the call from above: "Xiao He, come up."

Su Qinghe looked up and saw that it was Lizheng's son Song Haoming, and quickly stretched out his hand to grab Fifth Aunt Su: "Fifth Aunt, it's Brother Song from Uncle Lizheng's family, he called me, let's go up and have a look?"

Fifth Aunt Su looked up, she didn't know Song Haoming very well, but she also knew that she lived in the village and wanted to establish a good relationship, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go up and have a look, we just got tired from walking , go in and have a cup of tea."

A group of people entered the restaurant, led by Xiao Er, went up to the second floor and entered the private room, and saw four people sitting inside, all of whom Su Qinghe had seen before.Su Qinghe knew all of them, so she hurriedly introduced, "Aunt Wu, this is the teacher from the academy, and my eldest brother and second brother are students of Mr. Chen."

Mr. Chen is the elder over there, and Aunt Su is the elder here, so the elders on both sides immediately took over the conversation.Fifth Aunt Su bowed to Mr. Chen, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiuwen is rich in knowledge and good at teaching. All the disciples who come out of the school are both talented and knowledgeable. I saw you today. Mr. Chen is really extraordinary. The two of my family A nephew, Mr. Lao has disciplined him."

Mr. Chen hurriedly waved his hands: "Teaching and educating people is the old man's duty. Mrs. Su doesn't need to be polite. This is the old man's disciple, surnamed Shen, this one's surnamed Song, and the rest is the son Chen Qingyun."

Aunt Su nodded her head one by one, and then introduced the people on her side.

Su Qinghe finally waited for them to finish talking, and quickly turned to look at Mr. Shen: "Hi Mr. Shen, I don't know if Mr. Shen still remembers that I begged Mr. Shen for help?"

Mr. Shen smiled slightly, put down the teacup he was holding, nodded and said, "Of course I remember, I was leaving Hongqiao County tomorrow, and I came here to have a look because I was thinking about you."

Su Qinghe's eyes lit up, and she quickly bowed and saluted: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Shen, and please leave a contact information for Mr. Shen. If I really grow something in the future, I can tell Mr. Shen."

"You just have to tell Haoming." Mr. Shen smiled with squinted eyes, turned his head and whispered a few words to a young man dressed as a book boy standing in the corner, the book boy nodded and went out, and soon brought a small bag.

Mr. Shen took the bag and handed it to Su Qinghe: "This is a little seed I got some time ago. It tastes delicious after being cooked, but it only takes a few days, and it's hard to eat after it matures. You See if you recognize this kind of seed?"

Su Qinghe took the bag, glanced at it, and immediately showed a surprised smile on her face. Aren't those golden grains just corn grains?Originally, she thought that she might get sweet potato seeds first, but she didn't expect to get corn first.

"This sea is called golden rice." Seeing Su Qinghe's excited expression, Mr. Shen also breathed a sigh of relief. This thing was actually brought by him before he came here.I said to help Su Qinghe bring seeds, but I didn't take them out.

I have been waiting until now just to see if this little girl, Su Qinghe, is worth my attention.Although it is very easy for him to carry seeds, if it is just a child's curiosity, he does not need to waste his energy at all.

Unexpectedly, after such a long time, the little girl not only still remembers this incident, she even has some skills. She can even recognize the golden rice that no one in Taiyuan County knows.

In this way, I can treat that agreement as a serious matter, and I don't have to take it seriously.

"I know this. There are many ways to eat it. Before it's ripe, it's like you said. It can be boiled and eaten. It's very sweet. After it's ripe, it should be ground into noodles." Su Qinghe was extremely eager to leave this place behind. Seeds, regardless of the presence of others.

Anyway, the books I read, except for my eldest brother and second brother who know a little bit, the rest of the people are not very clear.And father, mother, elder brother, fifth uncle and others who are likely to expose her are not present, so let's take a risk.

Otherwise, if you let this corn seed slip away from your eyes, and it will take another ten years or more to get it, it will be so depressing that you can't wait to vomit blood.

"Noodles?" Mr. Shen raised his eyebrows, and Su Qinghe nodded with a smile: "Well, I also heard from others that this noodle is delicious when ground. If Mr. Shen is not in a hurry, I will grow this golden rice this year. , I can talk to Mr. Shen in detail."

Mr. Shen raised his eyebrows, seeing Su Qinghe pinching two golden rice and smiling silly, inexplicably, he also felt a little more hopeful in his heart, if it was really a kind of food crop, and not what he thought was possible before. Nothing, that's a good thing.

I just don't know what the yield of this thing is, what kind of land it grows in, and how it should be planted.

"Then I'll just wait for the good news from Miss Su. If the real seed comes out, just ask Brother Haoming to send me a message." Mr. Shen said with a smile. I want to thank Mr. Shen for the seed, how much money is this?"

After asking, I suddenly remembered that I had a dozen or so copper coins with me, and my mother was worried about coming to the town today, so she pretended it specially for her and Su Qinglan to buy some snacks or something.

Mr. Shen was stunned, Su Qinghe squeezed his fingers, a little embarrassed: "Mr. Shen, we agreed before that Mr. Shen will bring me seeds, and I will buy them with money."

"I haven't seen this kind of seed before. It's quite precious. Such a small bag costs about ten taels of silver, plus the road money. There should be dozens of vehicles from the sea to Hongqiao County. After all, it should be 30 taels." two."

Su Qinghe opened her mouth wide, and Fifth Aunt Su frowned tightly beside her. She was very enlightened, and I counted her seniority on my side, so she won't be able to pay for the money later?
"If Mr. Shen is not in a hurry, I will send you the silver tomorrow?" Su Qinghe did not dare to count on Fifth Aunt Su, she knew that Fifth Aunt Su had brought ten taels of silver with her before she left the house, half of which she collected not enough.

"Miss Su misunderstood. I didn't ask the girl to give money. I just want to tell the girl that next year, the girl will grow food. Remember to give me a share." Mr. Shen said with a smile and waved his hands. , with a bit of slyness: "This 30 taels is a deposit. I'm afraid that the food will be expensive at that time, and I can't afford it."

Su Qinghe was stunned, and then burst out laughing, a bit coy: "This is so embarrassing, if my parents find out, I will definitely be beaten, and besides, the deposit doesn't need to be so much."

"Miss Su, there are deposits for other seeds." Mr. Shen continued: "At that time, I can't come over to give the deposit to Miss Su. I can simply pay in one lump sum to save trouble. If Miss Su refuses , then I dare not send seeds to the girl again."

Su Qinghe praised in her heart, this Mr. Shen is really a wonderful person, people who give favors and say to accept them feel very comfortable in their hearts, they are simply the greatest good people!

"Then I won't be polite." Su Qinghe nodded with a smile while carrying the bag, thought for a while and said: "Master said earlier that you are leaving Hongqiao County soon?"

Mr. Shen nodded. Song Haoming and Mr. Chen didn't speak for a long time. They saw that the transaction was finally successful, and they glanced at each other. Both of them were a little surprised.One is that he didn't expect Mr. Shen to be so talkative, and he had to make excuses for favors.Second, I didn't expect that Su Qinghe, a seven-year-old girl, was quite capable. She actually understood food that everyone didn't know.

Especially Mr. Chen, originally Su Zhiping and Su Zhian were his students, they used to be very smart and eager to learn, and often asked questions that others could not think of. I thought it was the two brothers studying agricultural books to help the family, but now Looking at it, maybe the two brothers asked for their sister?

"I have been staying in Hongqiao County for a long time, and I am planning to go to other places." Mr. Shen said with a smile, and Song Haoming took the conversation: "Mr. Shen is still studying, besides, there are relatives of a large family , can’t always stay in Hongqiao County.”

"Mr. Shen also helped me a lot, so I want to give Mr. Shen some gifts. I don't know when Mr. Shen will leave?" Su Qinghe looked at Song Haoming and asked with a smile. Mr. Shen shook his head: "No, I I will leave early tomorrow morning, Miss Su's gift can be given after the golden rice is planted next year."

Su Qinghe thought about it, and recalled that she was reprimanded by her parents because she asked Mr. Shen for help, and she also felt that there was no need to give gifts too early.So he stopped thinking, and said: "Mr. Shen, this kind of seeds, whether they are edible grain seeds, if there are others, please collect some for me."

"Others?" Mr. Shen frowned, it's not food seeds, so what's the use of having them?
"Mr. Shen, it's like medicine. Some can be eaten, but some can't be eaten. The seeds of this plant are also the same. Some can be eaten as food, but some have other functions." What Su Qinghe was thinking about was still cotton seeds , and tomatoes and peppers, if you only want to eat something, then these few things will definitely be missed, so you have to explain it quickly.

When Mr. Shen agreed, it was getting late, and the two sides had nothing to talk about. On the one hand, women and children, and on the other hand, students and elders. There was really nothing in common, so Fifth Aunt Su took the opportunity to say goodbye.

Mr. Shen and the others probably had something to discuss, so they didn't ask to stay, but let the bookboy send everyone downstairs.

After leaving the restaurant, Fifth Aunt Su took the three sisters Su Qinghe to the tailor shop directly, picked out a pink dress for Su Qinglan, bright yellow clothes for Su Qinghe, and two small skirts for Su Qingdan, and then On the way back home, he didn't say a word along the way, and his expression was not very good.

When they got home, Fifth Aunt Su asked Su Qingdan to be carried down, and then looked at Su Qinghe: "Xiao He, what's going on today? When did you and Mr. Shen meet? Are you familiar? You, this year, Are you seven years old?"

Su Qinghe was a little confused, but she still told the process of getting acquainted with Mr. Shen in detail.

Fifth Aunt Su frowned: "Men and women have different seats at the age of seven, and you are not too young, how could you be so reckless? Then Mr. Shen knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary young master. If you ask for help at will, in case people misunderstand you, What can I do if I have a bad reputation?"
