Chapter 33 Buying Grain Seeds
Early the next morning, Su Tai and Su Changfu left the village together. When they arrived at Shenjiazhuang, they found that the villagers here were also plowing in the spring.
After all, Shenjiazhuang is next to the Daxun River. Although the Daxun River has stopped flowing, the snow has melted in spring and the glacier melted, so it has recovered somewhat.
Shen Yi was working in the fields. When he saw them, he immediately put away his hoe and went home.
"Uncle, why did you bring Xiao Tai here?" Shen Yi asked while pouring water for them.
Su Changfu was a little embarrassed and immediately took out two taels of silver, "Shen Yi! This is the money Ximen Village owed you before."
Shen Yi paused and immediately understood Su Changfu's intention. He shook his head and refused, "Uncle, I didn't do anything. I don't want the money. It would be troublesome to take it."
Su Changfu smiled bitterly and said, "I knew you would say that, but uncle really has no choice. Those bastards in Ximen Village dug three feet into the ground in the places you pointed out, but nothing was dug out. Now they have started to plow them in spring. Only then did Gao Zhi become anxious, knowing that the villagers were doing immoral things, but he acquiesced.
Now you are begging me again, what can I do? Do you think you can take another look at it when you have time? Don't worry, I will definitely let them pay you the money this time! "
Shen Yi frowned slightly, put down the water, and sat down, "Uncle, you have come forward, I will definitely not let you down, but you have also seen that our village is busy with spring plowing, and there is no water in the Daxun River. "If it's too late and the water is cut off, the land won't be able to be planted. I have to finish the work in the land before I can go with you."
"Yes, yes, uncle can understand. How much land does your family have?" Su Changfu was a little anxious.
Shen Yi said: "It's not much, just four acres of fertile farmland. It's enough to be busy for two days."
Su Changfu breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good. If you are too busy, my uncle can help."
"No need to trouble uncle." Shen Yi declined politely.
Su Tai chuckled at the side, "Brother Shen, I came here for spring plowing, and I also want to go into the mountains."
Su Changfu's expression changed, "Nonsense! Brother Shen is so busy, how can he have time to accompany you into the mountains!"
Shen Yi hurriedly said, "It doesn't hurt to go for a while."
Su Changfu shook his head repeatedly, "Just spoil her!"
Shen Yi smiled and hurriedly took Su Tai out.
After the two entered the mountain, Su Tai revealed her purpose, "Brother Shen, this time I went to the county with my father and got some high-quality grain seeds. You can help me get more medicinal materials. I will trade the grain seeds with you. How about that?" ?”
"Okay! You can do whatever you want." Shen Yi looked at the little girl beside him fondly, showing no bottom line in indulgence.
Because Su Tai wanted herbs, he searched everywhere without hesitation. In just an hour, he made a small pile of all kinds of common herbs.
Shen Yi was afraid of tiring her, so he only let her stay on the side to rest and didn't let her move.
When Shen Yi wasn't paying attention, Su Tai first sold some herbs to the automatic trading cabinet, and then helped dig up herbs and wild vegetables. The two cooperated tacitly, and they didn't go down the mountain until it was almost dark.
Su Changfu became even more worried when he saw that the two of them had been out for so long and brought back two baskets of herbs. He thought that the things in the mountains were about to be collected.
The night is rich.
Su Tai entered the Gate of Time and Space transfer station and sold the remaining two baskets of herbs again. After working for a long time, she got 285 coins, which was only enough to buy 35 kilograms of wheat seeds.
She was very depressed.
When he handed the wheat seeds to Shen Yi the next day, he looked very depressed, "Brother Shen, I wanted to help, but unfortunately I only got these wheat seeds."
Shen Yi was shocked when he saw it, "Sister Xiaomo, this wheat seed."
Regardless of size or color, these wheat seeds Su Tai gave are of the highest quality.
"Where did you get these? How much money do you need?" Shen Yi looked concerned. Su Tai bit her lip and remained silent.
Shen Yi sighed helplessly and took out the money bag from his arms, "I'll give you these, are they enough?"
Su Tai poured out the broken silver and copper plates inside, her eyes widened instantly, "Brother Shen, how much are these?"
"Seven taels and a half, and there are still three hundred coins."
Su Tai turned her back and silently settled the account, then took out one or two halves and returned the rest to Shen Yi, "Add these and it will be enough. You can keep the rest."
"That's all?" Shen Yi's brows were almost knotted. A pound of grains of different quality outside were sold for a hundred cents. His family's four acres of land required eighty pounds, which is eight taels of silver. If Su Tai gave A pound of this kind of wheat probably costs more than 150 yuan. How could it be worth only one or two and a half!
Su Tai nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. She pushed Shen Yi out of the room without any explanation, and took the door bolt on the door. Then she entered the transfer station, sold one or two and a half pieces of silver, and finally collected enough money to buy the remaining grain.
After doing this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and before leaving with Su Changfu, she told Shen Yi: "The remaining grain seeds are all in the house where I live. Soak the wheat seeds in water before sowing, and then transplant them after they germinate." , it can save time and increase harvest. If you decide to go to Ximen Village, go to Dongmen Village first and I will accompany you to take a look."
Shen Yi's heart warmed, and he nodded with a smile, "Okay! I'll listen to you."
Su Tai returned home and began to think about her plan to save virtual coins.
When buying seeds this time, she only had thirty virtual coins left, which was not even enough to put in a small spring. She had to get the money together as soon as possible to avoid the endless pestering of the gangsters in Ximen Village.
It happened that every household was busy with spring plowing at this time, and not many people went into the mountains. Some of the mushrooms and fresh wild vegetables in the mountains were not visited by anyone, which was a good advantage for her.
Five days passed like this, and Shen Yi came.
Su Tai had almost saved up her virtual coins, so she told Su Chunlin and his wife and followed Shen Yi to Ximen Village.
This time Gao Zhi's attitude was completely different from last time. Not only did he try to please Shen Yiduo, he even praised Su Tai for a while. Mrs. Liu even entertained her warmly and even put eggs on the table.
As for the unsightly villagers, none of them showed up, so they must have been warned in advance.
Shen Yi watched silently and pulled Su Tai to have a meal unceremoniously before going out to check the situation.
During this period, Gao Zhi and Liu were always with each other, and not a single villager was seen.
Gao Zhi and his wife took them around and said with a smile, "That's the situation. Now we don't know where to dig a well."
Su Tai whispered a few words in Shen Yi's ear.
Shen Yi nodded slightly and looked at Gao Zhi, "Village Chief Gao, please bring two shovels and let me dig them out."
When Gao Zhi heard that Shen Yi was going to dig it himself, he couldn't be more active. He immediately went back with Liu to move the shovel.
Shen Yi went down to a well to check.
Su Tai was on top, admitting that she didn't pay attention and put a small spring into the well where it wasn't too deep.
Gao Zhi and his wife brought the shovel over, and Shen Yi started working immediately.
We got out of the water just after noon.
Mrs. Liu lay down at the mouth of the well in disbelief, looking at the water under Shen Yi's feet. Her eyes widened in astonishment, and her tears fell uncontrollably, "We really dug out water!"
