Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 67

Passing by the pickle shop, Su Qinghe saw shopkeeper Yang coming out of the pickle shop at a glance, and quickly showed a big smile. Su Jingsen had already greeted shopkeeper Yang in front: "The shopkeeper is going out?"

"Ah, it's Brother Su. I'm going to visit your house." Shopkeeper Yang said quickly, and took two steps forward, just as Su Jingsen jumped out of the car: "Go to my house? Does Shopkeeper Yang have anything to do? "

"A few days ago, I went to Beijing for a few days because of business matters. Later, I received a letter from the housekeeper, saying that something happened to your house, so I hurried back. I wanted to go over and see what I could do to help. I'm busy, no, I happened to meet you. Brother Su, have you settled the matter with the county magistrate?"

Shopkeeper Yang asked with a smile, and Su Jingsen nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, Shopkeeper Yang, for your kindness. It was a coincidence that Brother Lizheng's son went to school in the county, and then met a son who said he had something to do with the magistrate. , so I can come out safely. Shopkeeper Yang has nothing to do today, right?"

"No, what's the matter?" Shopkeeper Yang shook his head with a smile. Su Jingsen hurriedly said, "My family visited the mansion before, and Steward Yang in the mansion tried his best to inquire about the news for us. It was really hard work. We want to invite Shopkeeper Yang Have a light meal with Steward Yang at home to express our gratitude."

"That's not necessary, we are acquaintances anyway, he should ask for some information for you." Shopkeeper Yang waved his hand and smiled, but Su Jingsen refused, only saying that Butler Yang really worked hard, and he must thank you.

In the end, shopkeeper Yang could only respond: "Well, it just so happens that he came with me today, and I'll go to your village in a while."

"That's good, that's good. I'll be waiting for Shopkeeper Yang and Butler Yang. You must remember to go. Look, all the dishes are ready." Su Jingsen explained with a smile. Shopkeeper Yang nodded with a smile, watching Su Jingsen drive The bullock cart left, and then turned back to the shop.

At noon, Su Jingsen sent Su Zhiping and Su Zhian to invite Song Haoming and Mr. Shen, and Li Zheng was also invited by the way.Although Lizheng didn't run around for Su Jingsen this time, he suppressed the rumors in the village, and gave some advice when Grandpa Su came to the door, which can be regarded as his contribution.

Just as they sat down in the room here, shopkeeper Yang's car also followed.Shopkeeper Yang was followed by Butler Yang and a chauffeur, and the three of them entered the door one after another.

As soon as Shopkeeper Yang raised his head, he happened to see Mr. Shen sitting at the head, his expression changed immediately, and he hurried forward to salute: "Caomin has seen four..."

"Do you know me, Shen Junxiu?" Before the shopkeeper Yang finished speaking, Mr. Shen asked suspiciously. The shopkeeper Yang was stunned, and quickly shook his head: "I don't know me, I just met him once from a distance. Mr. Shen has an outstanding personality, and I admire you." Mr. Shen is talented, so when he was in the capital in the past years, he followed the elders of the family to visit the mansion, but Mr. Shen had urgent matters at that time, so he did not summon him."

Mr. Shen nodded with a clear look: "You are..."

"I am a branch of the Yang family. I have been staying in Hongqiao County for the past two years. Mr. Shen can call me Yi'an." Shopkeeper Yang said quickly, and Mr. Shen nodded with a smile: "You look older, and I can't Call you by your name, how about it, I heard Uncle Su called you shopkeeper Yang just now, why don't I call you shopkeeper too."

"Don't dare, if Mr. Shen doesn't dislike it, you can call him whatever you want." Shopkeeper Yang said quickly, Su Jingsen was a little confused, but as the master, he had to say a few words, so he just smiled now Said: "Come, come, shopkeeper Yang is sitting here. It turns out that the two of you have met before. This is really a coincidence. Originally, I wanted to introduce you to each other."

Mr. Shen said with a smile: "Uncle Su sold the corn to shopkeeper Yang, right? This is really a good buyer. If it is sold to others, I am afraid it will not be sold at such a price. Shopkeeper Yang is very difficult to do business. There are means."

"Don't deserve Mr. Shen's praise. I also heard from Brother Su that if Mr. Shen hadn't brought this corn seed, we Dahua Dynasty people wouldn't be able to eat this now." Shopkeeper Yang glanced at Mr. Shen, Seeing that his expression didn't change, he sat down on the side: "If you want me to say, Mr. Shen's move is really beneficial to the country and the people. The yield of this corn is not low. If it can be planted everywhere in Dahua Dynasty If there is some, the common people can eat another kind of food, and those who are not full can get a little less.”

Mr. Shen shook his head: "It's not my credit, I'm just trying. If it wasn't for Uncle Su's family, I'm afraid I would have thought this corn was just a pastime and wouldn't be on the table."

Although Su Jingsen couldn't tell the twists and turns, but his son and daughter had confessed before that the credit for this kind of corn should be attributed to Mr. Shen's seeds, so he immediately laughed and said, "Mr. Shen, you Don't think too highly of our family. Even if our family knows how to farm again, we can't grow a few acres of corn out of thin air. If it weren't for Mr. Shen, we wouldn't be able to make so much money. I have to thank Mr. Shen for bringing such a good Food seeds. If Mr. Shen encounters any rare seeds in the future, please leave some for us, we will definitely thank Mr. Shen."

Shopkeeper Yang twitched the corner of his mouth, and was about to speak when he heard Mr. Shen say: "Okay, that's exactly what I mean. I will send you some rare seeds in the future. We are still the same as this corn. You plant After it comes out, just tell me what this thing is for, how to grow it, and then give me some seeds."

Shopkeeper Yang's mouth almost opened wide and he couldn't close it. When did Mr. Shen become so approachable?Didn't everyone in the capital say that Mr. Shen is the most difficult person to get close to even though he has a gentle smile on his face?Why is it so different to the Su family right now?

"Ah, really?" Su Jingsen was quite happy, and she couldn't see her teeth with a smile: "Then I really thank Mr. Shen, no matter what I plant in the future, I will leave a share for Mr. Shen. Yes Well, today I still have a gift for Mr. Shen, which was also planted from the seeds that Mr. Shen sent last time."

After Su Jingsen finished speaking, he got up excitedly. When Mr. Shen heard that the cotton seeds sent last time were planted, he also became interested. He turned his head and stared at the door Su Jingsen entered, and saw that he was holding a palm-shaped When things came out, he looked curious and expectant.

"These are called gloves. They are for keeping warm. Mr. Shen wear them for a try." Su Jingsen said with a smile, and handed the gloves to Mr. Shen. After thinking for a while, he took another pair from his waist and handed it to shopkeeper Yang: "Shopkeeper Yang, if you don't mind that I brought this one, you can try it."

Mr. Shen and shopkeeper Yang both took the gloves to look through them curiously, then spread their fingers and put the gloves on their hands.It was already the end of October, and there had been autumn frost for a long time, and the weather was relatively cold, so the difference between wearing gloves and not wearing gloves was quite obvious.

"You have to wear it for a while before you can feel it. Cotton is for keeping warm. It's much better than linen." Su Jingsen said while pouring tea for several people.

On the other side, Grandpa Su and Li Zhengben were also talking and chatting.At the moment, I was also attracted by the gloves, and when I heard Su Jingsen's words, I was a little curious: "How do you know that the cotton is for keeping warm?"

Grandpa Su is okay, he has seen cotton in the backyard of the Su family, so he is not that curious.Lizheng has never seen cotton before, and now he is even more curious: "What is cotton? Brother Su, did you just plant it?"

"Here, that's it. It's also made by mistake, and it's good for keeping warm." Su Jingsen smiled and took out a basket. I knew that everyone would want to see the cotton, so I came back from the town. , he and his two sons picked a lot of cotton, and they just took it out for everyone to see: "The one inside is the seed, which needs to be removed, and then sew the cotton into the cloth to keep warm."

Li Zheng was quite interested, and squatted beside him to ask about some planting matters.Su Jingsen didn't hide it: "Actually, my house has only been planted for a year. I usually water it, weed it, and catch bugs. I don't take care of it very carefully. I really don't know how to plant this thing, but , I see, it doesn't seem to be difficult to serve, "

"Is there a lot of that kind of seeds? If this thing can really keep warm, it is much better than forage grass thatch." Lizheng asked curiously, Su Jingsen nodded, and pointed to the wooden box next to him: "There are a lot of seeds." , just like growing wheat, you have to make a ridge. I looked at the little cotton in the backyard, if you save all the seeds, it can grow about ten acres. Brother Song, do you want it?"

"Yes, what can you do with this acre of cotton?" Shopkeeper Yang next to him didn't know much about farming, so he only asked what he cared about most: "How much cotton can one acre of land produce?"

"Yo, I'm not sure about this. My backyard is about Liufen. Yesterday, Xiaohe and his sisters got nearly a dozen cotton plants and made two pairs of gloves. I estimate that Liufen's Cotton can make at least five quilts!"

Su Jingsen gestured and said with a smile.Now he can't say who to give this cotton quilt to, otherwise, it won't look good on the face.It was obvious that Mr. Shen gave the seeds, but in the end the quilt was divided by his own family, and it was not given to Mr. Shen. It is a bit too wicked to say it.

But, let’s give it to Mr. Shen, the shopkeeper Yang and Li Zheng are both in front of him, is it the shopkeeper Yang who doesn’t give it, or Li Zheng who doesn’t give it?Also, although Song Haoming was just running errands to deliver letters before, but without Song Haoming's credit for running errands, Mr. Shen would not have come so fast.

And Mr. Shen came two or three days late, maybe Su Jingsen will suffer some hardships.Or, the Su family has already given all the thousands of taels of silver to the county magistrate.This errand delivery also saved the Su family.

So, can we not give it to Song Haoming?

But Su Jingsen stopped mentioning it, and Grandpa Su said: "My son Jingsen's incident before, thanks to the help of Mr. Shen and Brother Haoming, and shopkeeper Yang is also very helpful to my family, so if you don't dislike it, The quilt is ready, I will ask Jingsen to deliver it to everyone."

Su Jingsen was very depressed, but Grandpa Su didn't care about him, no matter how Mr. Shen and the others refused, he insisted on making a decision on this matter.One for Mr. Shen, one for Song Haoming, one for Shopkeeper Yang, one for Li Zheng, and one for Butler Yang.

Well, exactly five.
