Reborn Wangjia's little koi, reclaiming wasteland and farming to become the richest man

Chapter 54 The Mysterious Shopkeeper

When Sheng Jiaojiao heard this, it didn't work. Every time Qi Rong came back from gathering medicine in Tu'ao, he had to pass through the slope in front of the backyard. The third aunt had been preparing the ground in the backyard, so it was easy to find Qi Rong's whereabouts.

sidewalk:

"It will take some time to tear down the fence. Anyway, the land in Zhishou County is like that. It is so barren that it is about to be deserted. It's the same for any land. I think it's better to clean up the land to the left of our house."

The piece of land on the left of Qi's house is an open space where horses and mules were tied up before, so a simple shed was built there.

Ever since Mrs. Qi Er began to study using straw to make paper, the small shed has been piled up with straw.

Qi Rong's mule had no place to tie it, so it was tied to the edge of the vegetable field in the backyard.

If the medicine field is arranged next to the shed, and Mrs. Qi San is free, she can help Er Niang Qi make papyrus together.

So Sheng Jiaojiao said that the whole family agrees with the piece of land next to the whole shed.
While the family was talking, Jian Tuo had no place to call home outside the barracks because he was a military doctor and was sent to this frontier filled with yellow sand for a crime.

After treating Uncle Qi, he rode back to Xiying alone with a medicine box.

Early the next morning, Qi Zhang took some fresh apples and went back to Xiying for training.

As for the gifts piled up at home and the gifts from the nest, they were placed in the main room like this, and were all handled by Sheng Jiaojiao.

She asked the family members to keep it, and put it directly in the main room, so that anyone who came to the Qi family could see it.

Early in the morning, Sheng Jiaojiao called Qi Rong into the room, hinting with his eyes that he would secretly go to Xiying and Dongying to deliver vegetables and herbs.

By the way, go to the village to collect a few pieces of bacon and come back.

Miss Qi was sitting in Sheng Jiaojiao's room embroidering, and when she saw that Sheng Jiaojiao gave Qi Rong a lot of money, she said worriedly:
"Our family eats meat every meal, my girl, is it too extravagant?"

She didn't know that besides buying bacon in the village, Qi Rong was secretly sent by Sheng Jiaojiao to Dongying to work on vegetables and medicinal materials.

To the outside world, Sheng Jiaojiao only said that Qi Rong was arranged to buy bacon, and that this was an activity in the village, and the Qi family had nothing to worry about.

"It's okay, let the four guys take it away, the elder brother said, we will just eat meat every meal in the future, it's okay."

As Sheng Jiaojiao said, she let Qi Rong go out, looked at Miss Qi again, stretched out her hand, and pulled the stretched embroidered cloth in her hand, saying:
"Aniang, don't do it, let the women in the village do it if you have money, be careful not to burn your eyes."

"Don't spend a lot of money if you have a few money, you!"

As soon as Miss Qi gave way, she dodged Sheng Jiaojiao's hand that came to pull the cloth, and stretched out her hand to slap Sheng Jiaojiao's troublesome hand away, and said with a face of reproach:

"Eating meat requires money, and asking women to help with embroidery requires money. How much money have you two elder brothers accumulated? We are not rich enough to spend like this."

She was admonishing Sheng Jiaojiao, but in fact, because of Sheng Jiaojiao, she felt sorry for her, Miss Qi's heart was filled with honey, it was sweet.

How could she know that Sheng Jiaojiao's ambition is not small, she snorted and said:

"Aniang, from now on, I will not only let our family eat meat, not only will I hire people to do embroidery work to make money, but I will also buy you a few girls to serve you, just wait."

"Yohaha, with your tone, those who don't know think that our family has become rich, and we can buy girls to serve us."

Miss Qi said, stretched out a finger, and poked Sheng Jiaojiao's forehead. She was also different from Sheng Jiaojiao. She hugged her embroidery work, got up and went to the old lady's room to do embroidery work.

Together with Sheng Jiaojiao, it was just killing time, and the embroidery work was not finished much, which instead gave Sheng Jiaojiao a lot of ideas to spend money.

Seeing Miss Qi leaving without taking it seriously, Sheng Jiaojiao sat in her own room, twisted her handkerchief, got up and went out, she walked around the dirt hole, looked at the things in the dirt hole vegetable.

Yesterday, Qi Rong delivered a cart of vegetables to Dongying. Early this morning, he drove the mule, which had two large baskets of vegetables on it, and then used the mule to drag the cart, which was also full of vegetables. Vegetables and herbs for the cart.

These consumptions reduced the vegetables in the soil by half.

Seeing that there was still a large piece of green vegetables in the soil depression, Sheng Jiaojiao decided to take it easy for now and not to grow too many vegetables.

So I just poured a round of water on the medicinal materials on the slope, and then went back to the backyard.

Mrs. Qi San had already started to prepare the land.

This early in the morning, she didn't have time to worry about where Qi Zhi went. She only saw Sheng Jiaojiao walking around from the backyard, and Mrs. Qi San asked:

"Jiao Jiaoer, you said yesterday that you have a way to grow medicinal materials well, what is the way?"

"I'm going to make fertilizer now."

Sheng Jiaojiao turned around and went back to the backyard, found a wooden bucket, pinched her nose, opened the stone slab of the composting pit, and scooped a few ladles of manure water from it.

Then she went and found some Burnet, Coptis chinensis... a lot of medicinal materials, and brought these things to Mrs. Qi San.

"Is this the fertilizer you used?"

Miss Qi San looked at Sheng Jiaojiao while digging the ground.

All I saw was that Sheng Jiaojiao crushed the medicinal materials in a decent manner, and put them all into the excrement bucket.

Then he took out a small leather water bag and poured all the water in the water bag into the feces.

The steps seem to be quite complicated, the main thing is that Mrs. Qi San can't recognize all the medicinal materials.

She stretched her neck, looked at the skin water bag in Sheng Jiaojiao's hand, and asked curiously:
"Jiao Jiaoer, what's in here? It looks like water."

"This is the dew specially used to grow herbs. It takes a lot of work to make. It is colorless and odorless. It looks like water, but it is very good for herbs when poured on the ground."

It's actually water!
Sheng Jiaojiao didn't have anything very good, and she came up with a way to surprise people. The messy medicinal materials in the front were all made up by her.

The so-called semen dew is nothing more than the water released by her.

Seeing Mistress Qi's puzzled eyes, Sheng Jiaojiao explained:

"Oh, this is also sold to me by a passing peddler, saying that it is this kind of essence, which is Jin Guo's fertilizer essence."

She didn't lie, Jin Guo is in the south of Daze, and there are fertile fields everywhere, and there are thousands of miles of rice waves.

In the thousands of years of farming experience, Jin Guoren invented many land-growing treasures, land-growing fertilizers, and fertilizer concentrates. There are rumors about these among the folks in Daze.

However, the relationship between Daze and Jin State is not good now, and the two countries do not conduct business, and the people of Daze cannot buy those planting treasures, fertilizer essence, etc.

In his previous life, Daze really waited for these fertilizers to be dewed. It was after Yin Ze ascended the throne that Tan Ji led the army and fought with Jin Guo for three or four years.

Jin Guo was impoverished by Tan Ji, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. He took the initiative to seek peace, and took these land-growing treasures, land-growing fertilizers, and fertilizer essences as tributes, and paid tribute to Daze.

After that, the two countries began to trade and commerce, and the folk merchants in Daze really started the business of planting treasures in Jin State.

"Is this actually Jin Guo's fertilizer dew?"

When Miss Qi San heard this, her eyes lit up, she quickly dropped the hoe and ran over, picked up the leather water bag in Sheng Jiaojiao's hand, looked at it and smelled it.

And said:
"I heard that there are all these things in Jin Guo's family. They are made through many, many complicated and precise processes. Jiao Jiaoer, what kind of shopkeeper is he, who can actually pass through the entire Daze and take Jin Are you selling the fertiliser dew from China to us?"

"The shopkeeper, who walks around the streets, sells us whatever he has in his hand. Maybe he bought it from someone else."

Sheng Jiaojiao said that a little casually, and then saw Qi San Niangzi holding the water in the leather water bag as if it were a treasure, holding it with both hands.

So Sheng Jiaojiao said again:

"Actually, in my opinion, these Jin Guo's fertilizer essences are far less miraculous than folk rumors. They are just a kind of fertilizer, which is similar to our retting fertilizer, but Jin Guo's process is more precise."

After all, Jin State has good soil and water, and abundant rainfall. Unlike Daze's complicated topography, the whole country of Jin State is farming, and there is almost no place to live by grazing.

Therefore, Jin Guo is naturally much more advanced than Daze in researching and farming, and the process of fertilizer production is more complicated. It is also because Jin Guo has such a soil environment that can breed such a craft.

This kind of cognition is understood by all the high-ranking people in Daze.

But the folks don't think so. Because of ignorance and ignorance, many folks in Daze have put Jin's land fertilizer on the altar, and because they can't get it, they feel that this thing is amazing.

Miss Qi San is in such a state.

Holding the skin water bag with a distressed face, she said to Sheng Jiaojiao:

"I see that you put a lot of fertilizer essence into it just now. Such a good thing should not need so much fertilizer essence. You, it's too wasteful."

Hearing her words, Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't laugh or cry, she nodded and echoed:
"It turned out that I didn't understand the beauty of this fertilizer essence. What my third aunt taught me was that the remaining fertilizer essence should be handed over to my third aunt for safekeeping."

"Give it to me, I'll take it."

Mrs. Qi San immediately put the water bag in her arms carefully, but she didn't dare to let Sheng Jiaojiao rush away.

Then she said to Sheng Jiaojiao:
"In the future, if there are still passing peddlers selling such good things, don't ask the price, just buy as much as you want, and buy as much as you can."

"I can save it."

Sheng Jiaojiao agreed with a smile, and when she turned around, she saw Mrs. Zhou walking past her.

She hurried forward, called Zhou Shi, and pulled Zhou Shi into the house.

One round hadn't paid off yet, and Sheng Jiaojiao was busy setting up another round.

She asked Mrs. Zhou not to go to the fields today, but to go to Jishang to find someone called Chaozong to buy trees.

Chaozong went to live behind the abandoned prince's mansion.

All the people living there were servants brought by the deposed prince from the imperial capital, and with a little inquiry, one could find out where Chaozong lived.

"Buy a tree?"

Mrs. Zhou was sitting on the kang, and seeing Sheng Jiaojiao gave her 20 taels of silver, she asked with some doubts:

"Jiao Jiaoer, what are we going to buy the tree for?"

"Big brother said, Mr. Chao has given us so many gifts, we must return some gifts, but a clear-eyed person like Mr. Chao will definitely not accept gold and silver, so let's go to Mr. Chao's brother to buy it." In the name of the tree, send him some money."

"Oh, I get it, I get it."

It's just a return gift in disguise.

Mrs. Zhou didn't understand the meaning of Prince Abandoned's solicitation, she simply thought that if someone gave a gift to her family, then she would return the gift to someone else's family.

Chao Lai would definitely not accept the original gift, so he went directly to his brother Chao Sect to return the gift.

In this way, Qi Zhang and Chao Lai can continue to communicate with each other.

So Mrs. Zhou got up immediately, picked up the silver barley seeds on the table, and went to the collection like the wind.

Sheng Jiaojiao was waiting at home.

In fact, many people don't know that Chao Lai, the aide of the abolished prince, made a special trip to win over talented people for the abolished prince and Yin Ze, and also has an extremely mediocre younger brother, Chao Zong.

Because Chao Lai knew that his younger brother was illiterate and greedy for petty gains, so he suppressed his younger brother all his life, so Chao Sect, who was still somewhat business-minded, lived with his brother Chao Lai all his life. Under the prestigious name.

Sheng Jiaojiao didn't ask Mrs. Zhou to do bad things, she really wanted to return the gift from Chao Lai in a disguised form, and she even asked Mrs Zhou to buy a tree at a high price from the Nest Sect, just to give back to the Nest. Zong to profit.

To put it bluntly, it is to bribe the Nest Sect to drag the Nest into the water.

After arranging Zhou's whereabouts, it was time for the children in the village to go to school.

Sheng Jiaojiao paid special attention to that very clever little girl, her name was Lian Xin.

Sure enough, Lian Xin finished the homework she assigned to Lian Xin yesterday. Not only did she finish it, but the number of words was more than double what Sheng Jiaojiao asked for.

Looking at the little girl in front of her, Sheng Jiaojiao raised her hand, touched her cheek, and assigned some new homework for her, bending over and smiling:

"Lian Xin? You have to study hard. If you can finish the homework assigned by me tomorrow, I will reward you tomorrow."

Lian Xin looked at Sheng Jiaojiao seriously, and said:

"But sir has already rewarded us with a pen."

"This time the reward is different."

Sheng Jiaojiao patted Lian Xin's head, smiled and watched her salute and leave.
In this way, in the afternoon, after the whole family had lunch, Qi Rong came back. He hurriedly delivered the goods to the barracks, took Sheng Jiaojiao's copper coins, went to the villagers' homes in Huangtu Village, and brought back a pile of bacon.

Old Madam Qi specially called Sheng Jiaojiao over and asked:

"Which passing peddler did you buy the apples from yesterday? Is such a delicious fruit expensive?"

"Is it okay, is it delicious? I'll go to the entrance of the village for a while, maybe I can meet the peddler from yesterday, and I'll buy some more apples."

Sheng Jiaojiao can tell nonsense with her eyes open. She can tell several kinds of lies to different people with the same set of lies, and she has the ability to make everyone believe what she said, and think that what she said is very interesting. reason.

Anyway, shopkeepers, who walk around the streets, who knows what treasures they have in their hands.

A mysterious shopkeeper, in the eyes of the world, has a magical treasure chest.
