Chapter 244 Waiting (400 monthly pass)
The three of them chatted until the time of Youpai, when the convoy transporting food arrived and stopped just now.
After unloading the truck, inspecting the rice and confirming that it was correct, the deal was concluded. Zhang Yuanwai did not stop and went back with the convoy overnight.
Zhao Zhen paid Lu Zhuocheng's commission and watched the sergeant deliver the rice to the backyard warehouse. Only then did Zhao Zhen have dinner with Ji Qingwan and others.
The four of them were chatting while eating. Ji Qingwan said: "Husband, I am going to Bailiu Village to stay for a while in the next few days. Husband should return to the fantasy world from Bailiu Village this time."
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Jingzhe does not rake the ground, just like steamed buns running out of steam. It seems that the lady also knows the season. Is this the case of marrying the chicken and following the chicken?"
Ji Xuan covered her mouth and said with a smile: " When the Jingzhe Festival comes, the hoeing will not stop. Originally, I didn’t want to go, but Qingwan was worried about the troops in Qingxi Village, so I went to Bailiu Village to supervise it personally.”
Zhao Zhen nodded and said. What Madam considers is that these troops are no better than others. After all, they are not very intelligent. It will be inconvenient to leave them to others. They will be dealt with tomorrow and will return to the village the day after tomorrow."
Ji Qingwan said: " Just prepare some bedding and clothes, and take the maids, wives, and cooks with you. Leave Wang Wang and the fifteen sergeants to guard the house."
Ji Xuan said: "The spiritual materials collected in the backyard. , the pearl rice delivered today will also be sent back to the village. I have completed the transaction today in exchange for the eight portions of willow seeds left by my husband, and I have received a bag of green shell pea seeds. In exchange for spiritual objects and spiritual materials, I also made friends, and sold a few boxwood root carvings and bone carvings of peonies.”
Zhao Zhen said: "Now is the season for planting cucumbers. Are the cucumbers and peas you mentioned advanced?"
Ji Xuan said: "White jade cucumbers and green shell peas are different species and have not entered the advanced level. This time In this transaction, I only wanted to use the willow seeds to attract customers, and I never thought that I could exchange them for spiritual objects. These two seeds were an unexpected gain."
"I heard from Mrs. Liu who exchanged that his family relied on one. The guide has worked as a vegetable farmer for three generations and has cultivated many different varieties. Although the output of advanced vegetables is occasional, they are not stable. White jade cucumbers and green shell peas are stable vegetables. It is a pity that they are not advanced and the taste has been slightly improved. , I got a portion of willow sprouts."
Zhao Zhen said: "It's appropriate. Since his family has exotic vegetables, he can buy more seeds in the future. If he encounters perennial vegetables and fruits, he will spend more. "Arrived."
Ji Xuan said: "Husband, I have made a note of it. I will keep in touch with Mrs. Liu from now on. I wonder what perennial vegetables your husband mentioned?"
Zhao Zhen said: "I know there are leeks and asparagus. His family grows vegetables. I wonder if there are gourds and strawberries?"
Ji Qingwan asked: "Husband, what are strawberries?"
Zhao Zhen said: "I heard Hu Jiaoyu say that this thing was originally grown in the deep mountains and old forests. Because the fruit is sour and sweet, it was cultivated by people. It is rare in the country of Gao."
Jixuan points He nodded and said, "I'll ask around slowly. If I meet you, I'll see if I can buy some seeds."
"Husband, have you gone to my brother's place today to find out more about the situation in Anling Hedui?" Ji Qingwan looked at Zhao Zhen and said.
When Zhao Zhen was about to speak, Ji Minghan said first: "Sister, I have asked you clearly. My brother has no objection to my husband going there and asking him to prepare things to exorcise evil spirits, including black dog blood, black donkey hooves, rooster comb blood, and glutinous rice. "
Ji Qingwan said: "These are ordinary things. The Song family can still lack it. Since I invited my husband, there must be a reason why he dislikes the production of too many treasures and wants to share the wealth. "Go out?"
Zhao Zhen said: "That's what my brother said. If Song Shiqin comes tomorrow, let's hear what he has to say. If he doesn't come, I will go back to Bailiu Village. My wife will supervise the farming, and I will return to the fantasy world. It doesn’t matter if An Linghuan can’t get rid of it.” Ji Qingwan nodded after hearing this. Said: "Husband, it's getting late today, let me take a rest early."
After hearing this, Ji Xuan and the other two went back to the east and west wings. Zhao Zhen stopped Ji Qingwan from going to the second room. Needless to say, there is no need to elaborate on a pleasant night in the upstairs bedroom.
Early the next morning, Zhao Zhen and his wife had just finished breakfast when they saw Zhao Jin coming in. Zhao Zhen quickly got up to greet him and said, "Father, why are you here today?"
Zhao Jin said: "I heard from your wife the day before yesterday that she collected a lot of high-grade bones, dog treasures, bezoars and other items. Our family also slaughtered many animals and left a lot of bones and horns. I packed them up and gave them to you. Come here."
Zhao Zhen followed Zhao into the front yard and took a look, loading five or six sacks. Zhao Zhen was surprised: "So many?"
Zhao Jin said: "These first-level bones are not very useful and are sold at a very low price. The horns are better, one horn is worth more than a cow. , it just grows outside, and the farmers who raise cattle are not stupid, so they can see the price of the horns."
"Father, is there any bezoar in it?"
Zhao Jin said: "What are you thinking about? Except that some people in the countryside are ignorant and don't know what kind of cattle produce bezoars. Such cattle are not available at normal prices around the county. Anyone with bezoars in their body must be thin, with red eyes and shiny hair tubes. It calls at night and doesn’t like to eat grass.”
“You’re lucky to receive two. After all, you bought a lot of bezoars.”
After unloading the car, Zhao Jin said: "Okay, you can clean it up yourself. I'm going back to sell the meat."
Zhao Zhen sent his father out and asked someone to dump out the bones, reclassify them, and put them together with the bones Ji Xuan bought. good. There were only two cow horns and one sheep horn inside, and the rest were all kinds of bones.
After cleaning up, there was a commotion outside the door. Zhao Zhen was about to ask when Su Dong came over and said, "Sir, the manager of Tianlei has arrived with many bicycle frames."
Zhao Zhen said: "Go and arrange to fetch water, drink the animals, rest for a while, and then load the car back to Bailiu Village."
Su Dong agreed quickly.
Early this morning, Zhao Zhen sent Tian Xing away and arranged for a man to go to Bailiu Village to inform Tian Lei. Let him drive thirty carriages and come here today to transport the things back to Bailiu Village.
The animals pulling the cart rested for a while, and then the field barriers were put on again. Load everything to be transported into the vehicle.
Tian Lei is busy here, and Song Shiqin, who Zhao Zhen is waiting for, has also arrived. After seeing the ceremony, Song Shiqin pointed to the farmers who were carrying them back and forth and asked: "Brother Zhao Zhen, what are you doing?"
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Song, I bought some pearl rice yesterday and was about to transport it back to Bailiu Village. Now that the Waking of Insects has just passed, it is the busy farming season, so I will move to Bailiu Village for a few days."
Song Shiqin listened and said : "Brother Zhao Zhen, I won't beat around the bush. I'll tell you the truth. This time I'm looking for you to help you with the An Lingdui incident."
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Song, I've also asked about it. After all, although there are ghosts in Anlingdu, your family is well prepared and it shouldn’t be a problem for Brother Song.”
