Chapter 218 The gift is mud?
Gu Nanxi was so excited to get the corn seeds that she couldn't sleep all night.
Corn is an artificially cultivated crop. Although today's corn is completely different from the sweet and plump corn of later generations, as long as generations of cross-breeding and screening continue, growing future generations of corn is not a dream.
Unfortunately, the sowing period of corn is generally from the end of April to the beginning of May. Even summer corn is sown after the winter wheat is harvested, roughly around June.
Gu Nanxi turned over and sighed repeatedly, why didn’t the original owner give birth a few months earlier? This will just make it possible to sow corn seeds this year.
The weather is hot this year and it is past June, so it is no longer suitable for planting corn.
Gu Nanxi turned over again and comforted herself that she was extremely lucky to have discovered corn hundreds of years in advance, so she couldn’t force it too much!
Gu Nanxi thought of the corn seeds in the small clay pot again. She estimated that they only weighed two or three kilograms. Normally, four kilograms of seeds can be spread on one acre of land, which means that this clay pot Corn seeds can only be planted in one acre of land!
It will take two or three years to promote corn throughout the country.
Gu Nan Xiteng sat upright. Where should I store this small clay pot? !
It wasn't until the sky was almost white that Gu Nanxi fell into sleep.
I just fell asleep, but was awakened by the movement outside.
I heard loud gongs and drums outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, and the whole Hou Mansion seemed to be shaken by it.
The noisy voices almost surrounded the entire Hou Mansion at 360 degrees.
Gu Nanxi frowned and called Lu Mei: "Lu Mei, what's going on outside?"
Lumei walked in in a hurry, her brows filled with joy: "Master, some people came outside, saying they want to wish you a birthday!"
Gu Nanxi was a little confused. It took a while for my eyes to focus, and I asked: "Is this my birthday today?"
But I clearly remember that the original owner's birthday is not on this day!
Lu Mei snorted and laughed: "Master, are you sleepy?"
"In addition to those celebrating birthdays, there are many people watching the fun outside." Lu Mei said calmly. Open your mouth.
As a native of Kyoto, she is used to the fact that the people of Kyoto need to join in the fun.
Gu Nanxi yawned and let the green plum blossoms take over.
She didn’t want to go out, she just wanted to fall in love with the soft pillow of her high bed, but there were Huoxiang Zhengqi water and corn seeds in front of her, and she didn’t know what would be given this time.
It feels like opening a blind box, I hope I can get a collector’s item!
1 Gu Nanxi looked noble and glamorous after she had finished packing.
Gu Nanxi put on a smile and walked out of the mansion in person.
As the door creaked open, the voices outside became more lively, and even the drum beat became more urgent.
"May Mrs. Hou live for thousands of years and never miss spring!"
The speaker is a middle-aged man dressed as a craftsman, with dark skin, rough palms, and a cramped face. Uneasy, even these words of blessing were stumbling upon my words.
Before Gu Nanxi could speak, there was a chorus of sighs in the audience.
"Oh, he looks like an ordinary person. How does he look like the incarnation of a god?"
"A god is either a fairy or not like an ordinary person. This man is really too honest and honest. !”
“Hey, of course he is not the incarnation of a god!” Seeing everyone around him looking at him, the speaker proudly reported the inside story. "This man's name is Bi Sheng. He comes from a poor family and has been an apprentice since he was a child. He originally worked as an engraver in a book shop in Hangzhou, specializing in hand-printing. Because he likes "The Story of the Gone City" very much, he came to Kyoto from Hangzhou."
Someone looked at the speaker with suspicion: "How do you know such details? Are you making it up?"
The man's beard curled up and he said in a rough voice: "Man, spit and nail! How could I tell lies?! This Bi Sheng came to Kyoto and rented my yard, how could I not know?"
Hearing the speaker's tone of voice being so certain, the people around him were even less interested.
“I thought it was another god coming down to earth to celebrate his birthday, but it turned out to be just a young apprentice!”
“Oh, with his appearance, who would believe that he is a god!”
The people around them were talking louder and louder, and Gu Nanxi and Bi Sheng heard it clearly.
A blush spread from Cheng Sheng's ears to his entire face. Has he ever experienced being pointed at?
For a moment, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Although Gu Nanxi was a little disappointed, others who were kind enough to come to celebrate his birthday could not give him any shame.
So Gu Nanxi softly spoke to Bi Sheng and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Lu."
Gu Nanxi gave Lu Mei a look, and Lu Mei said He picked up a box and walked towards Bisheng.
After all, the Yongchang Hou Mansion is a noble family, and they always prepare some small gifts as souvenirs. Especially when Gu Nanxi's birthday is approaching, there are always some brave people who come to the Hou Mansion to celebrate her birthday.
Although these souvenirs are not expensive, they will not let the people who come to celebrate their birthdays go away empty-handed.
Seeing this, Bi Sheng waved his hands repeatedly, his face so red that it almost bled.
Lu Mei looked at him displeased. Isn't this another crazy monk?
Bi Sheng wriggled his lips, and then said in a low voice: "I, I, I have something to give to Mrs. Hou."
Lu Mei's heart skipped a beat, it was over, another guy came to cheat money!
Lu Mei walked back a few steps quickly and tugged on Gu Nanxi's sleeves, fearing that the master would lose his money and scatter the money again.
Gu Nanxi’s disappointed heart was ignited with a glimmer of hope, and she was secretly screaming in her heart, open the blind box! Unpack the blind box! I want to take out the hidden part!
Gu Nanxi smiled warmly and her tone became gentler, which made Lu Mei's heart ring with alarm: "This gentleman, what do you want to give me?"
Bi Sheng After exhaling, he slowly came to Gu Nanxi holding a small, square tray covered with a layer of red silk.
Gu Nanxi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Lu Mei stepped forward and took the tray. When taking it, she slightly opened a corner of the red silk with her right hand. When she saw the items in the tray, her already ugly face suddenly sank.
If there weren't too many people watching, Lu Mei would have really wanted to throw the tray at the middle-aged man's face!
These people are really deceiving others. What do they think their master is?
Lu Mei was so angry that her chest hurt, and tears rolled in her eyes.
Seeing the always steady Lu Mei showing this look, Gu Nanxi couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "What's going on? Don't be angry, don't be angry, there is no one to take care of you when you are angry!"
When Gu Nanxi heard this At these words, Lu Mei's tears fell. Her master was so kind, how could they bully her like this?
Lu Mei choked with sobs: "Master, don't be angry when you see the gift. Although it is a small lump of clay, the carvings are exquisite."
Lu Mei racked her brains, Looking for the advantages of this gift, it’s a bit shameful to say this. Just those little lumps of clay, how can they be called exquisite!
