Chapter 175 Dragging the Family and Bringing the Exporters
Shang Wan also tried to collect some herbal seedlings from the mountains and plant them in the spiritual field. The growth rate is similar to that of sowing seeds directly. The difference is that when harvesting from seeds, there will be herbal trees. Seedlings started without. The potency and taste are similar.
Spending the same time, planting seedlings can only harvest once, planting seeds can harvest a tree, and the harvest is doubled. Even a fool knows which one to choose.
If it took at least three years to start growing ginseng, and there were too few spiritual fields in Shangwan's space, she would have to carve out a spiritual field to grow ginseng.
A century-old ginseng plant can be worth thousands of gold, and the price will be even higher if it is put at auction. If you really grow it, will you still worry about the lack of money?
However, the reality does not allow it. When the space flow speed does not increase, Shang Wan is not prepared to let ginseng occupy a spiritual field for a long time.
Shang Wan raised his hand and patted Shi Shi's shoulder, "Don't be sad, starting from tomorrow, you and Yuanyuan will open up wasteland together and cover the land at the foot of Yuanyuan Mountain."
Find out the situation and take action boldly.
She wants to be a big herbal grower!
"Sister, calm down." Shitou glanced at the sun above his head. Wouldn't clearing land in this weather be life-threatening? Even if he could bear it, Yuanyuan couldn't.
"I'm very calm." Shang Wan said, "You go in the morning and evening and come back when the sun is strong. Animals are not stupid either. Who will help you work in the bright sun?"
"But, sister, the area at the foot of the mountain is completely open. There are at least thirty acres of land. How can we get so many seeds? Even if there are seeds, there are not so many people."
"Manpower is not a problem. There are not enough people to support the animals. How about seeds..." Shang Wan thought for a while and estimated based on the situation of the space. "It will be enough to wait until you have opened up all the land."
Seeing that Shang Wan was serious, Shitou quickly turned to look at his brother-in-law, is this really possible?
Lu Chengjing pondered for a moment and said, "The imperial court encourages land reclamation. If it can be reclaimed and not abandoned, the government will reward cattle, farm tools and seeds. But if we reclaim all the land at the foot of the mountain at once, we won't hire anyone. Too compelling.”
There are only four people in their family who can be counted as laborers, and none of them are strong laborers. Such an abnormality will definitely attract the attention of the villagers, and there may be some mysterious rumors spread. The gain outweighs the loss.
Shang Wan was a bit over the top just now, so when the two of them stopped him, they realized the problem.
If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you still have to do it step by step.
"The sour plum soup is ready." Chu Xu poked his little head out of the kitchen and shouted.
"Just come." Shang Wan agreed and said to Lu Chengjing and others, "Let's deal with the herbs first, and then we can talk about opening up wasteland after Yuanyuan comes back."
The little guy is the main force in opening up wasteland. Whether he understands it or not, he still needs to have a sense of participation.
The three of them moved faster, placing the washed herbs in the bamboo basket to dry, and waited for the water drops on them to dry before proceeding to the next step.
The sour plum soup is served in a small white bowl, bright red in color, with some dried osmanthus sprinkled on top to add to the aroma.
The taste is sweet and sour, and the well water is cool but not ice-cold. After a few mouthfuls of sour plum soup, the heat all over the body disappears.
"Ha~" The four of them sat in rows under the eaves holding porcelain bowls. The wind blew through the hall, feeling refreshed and refreshed. They couldn't help but sigh.
"It tastes good." Chu Xu finished a bowl and ran to the kitchen to fill up another small bowl.
Xiaohuan was worried that he would feel upset after drinking too much, so he quickly reminded him, "Don't drink any more from the last bowl. It's time to eat later."
"Okay." Chu Xu nodded and sat back next to Shi Shi, looked up at the sky, and asked doubtfully, "Why hasn't Yuanyuan come back yet?"
Yuanyuan is afraid of the heat, so she would have been riding Xiao Hui back by this time.
"It's cooler in the mountains than outside, so she might have fallen asleep somewhere." Shang Wan felt reassured about her baby, "If she doesn't come back after half an hour, I will go to the mountains to find her."
Chu Xu had lingering fears about going into the mountains. He didn't want to run into the mountains and forests for a short time. It was rare that he didn't clamor to follow.
Shitou turned to look at him and stretched out his hand to wipe the soup on the child's face, "Didn't your brother's reply to you say that he would pick you up as soon as possible? It's been several days, but why haven't you seen anyone? ?”
Chu Xu was stunned for a moment, his fair face drooped, and his tone was low, "Are you driving me away?"
"Of course not." Shitou waved his hand quickly. He was really just asking casually.
Chu Xu looked at him, a pair of amber cat eyes full of suspicion. Shitou patted his head, "I'm just worried that something might happen to them on the way, such as encountering bandits or something."
Chu Xu: "..."
Others: "..."
Seeing that Chu Xu's expression became even worse, Shitou quickly added, "It's not necessarily a bandit, maybe an assassin."
"There are assassins?!" Chu Xu, who had just been frightened by the assassin, burst into tears instantly, and his good mood for drinking sour plum soup was gone.
"No, there are no assassins." Shitou hurriedly denied, "Maybe... maybe..."
He "maybe" couldn't come out, so he simply raised his hand and covered his mouth. He might as well shut up.
"Aunt Shang." Chu Xu burst into tears and came to Shang Wan for comfort like a small animal.
"Didn't you write about encountering an assassin in your letter?" Shang Wan raised her hand and rubbed his tender face, like making a dumpling. "You said your brother is smart and will definitely be prepared. Even if he encounters an assassin, Not afraid of assassins."
Chu Xu's little heart dropped. He held a small porcelain bowl in one hand and dragged the small stool over with the other. His small body stayed close to Shang Wan.
Shang Wan rubbed his little head, his almond-shaped eyes slightly curved.
——The fat baby kneads it and it feels good.
Lu Chengjing squinted his eyes. Why did he suddenly find this child so unpleasant?
He reminded: "After drinking the sour plum soup, it's time to go back to the study and copy books."
Chu Xu blinked, "I didn't finish the drink."
There is half a bowl left in the small bowl.
Lu Chengjing opened his mouth, but before the words came out, a clicking sound came from far away and came to a stop outside the door.
"Open! Door!"
A soft and waxy little voice accompanied by a domineering knock on the door announced that Yuanyuan was back.
Chu Xu's eyes lit up and he ran to open the door.
"Yuan——" As soon as Chu Xu said this, he was knocked backward by the deer that jumped in. If Shang Wan hadn't reached out to support him in time, the young master's butt would have suffered.
"Mom!" Yuanyuan was riding on Xiao Hui, her eyes were bright, and she pointed her little finger at the group behind her, "One! Deer!"
Zaizai successfully completed the task assigned by her mother!
Behind her, a group of deer, old and young, with families and families, stared at Shang Wan with their round, innocent and cute deer eyes.
Shang Wan: "..."
Is this one? This is clearly a group!
No wonder I came back late. It was not easy for the deer to drag their families down the mountain.
She raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, "Baby, have you robbed the herd of deer?"
Yuanyuan blinked and pointed her little finger behind her, "One! Deer!"
We have brought all the does back, and not a single one is left. Is there something wrong?
Shang Wan: "..."
"Sister, are we going to raise deer?" Xiaohuan came over and saw the group of deer outside the door, and opened her mouth in surprise.
Shang Wan looked at her, sister, do you really dare to think about letting them grow freely on the mountain? If you want to eat them, take one and bring it back. Wouldn't it be delicious? Why can't you think of raising so many?
