It's the autumn harvest season now, but there are quite a few people at the town fair.

Autumn is full of fruits, and the streets are full of fruit vendors.Although it is only a hawker, the quality of the fruit is not inferior to those in the fruit shop, even better in terms of freshness.People are smart these days, and buying good things with less money is naturally the first choice, so there seem to be a lot of fruit stalls on the street, but they don't worry that the fruit will stay.

Most of the pedestrians on the street are farmers pulling rack carts or riding bicycles. When they come to buy fertilizer or seeds, they will also buy some fruits for their children.

Zhang Taiping didn't rush to the seed station, but walked slowly on the street, looking at the fruits on both sides of the road, as long as they were not in his own field, he would go and have a look, and if the quality was good, he would buy them and bring them back to see people try.

For a group of people in front of a stall, Zhang Taiping also went over curiously to have a look. The tall man stood behind and could have a panoramic view of the scene inside without squeezing in.It turned out to be a pomegranate vendor.

The stall owner is a young man in his 20s with a good mouth.Cut a pomegranate and break a piece for everyone onlookers.

The pomegranate seeds inside are watery and crystal clear, and the sun shines on them like pearls, which makes people happy to look at.

"Pomegranate is a good thing. Children will become smarter after eating it, newlyweds will have more children after eating it, and the elderly will have quick legs and feet after eating it." The young man shouted loudly.

Although everyone knew that he was talking nonsense, the young man was talking and laughing with a smile, which would not make the people around him feel disgusted.

There are many seeds in the pomegranate, which is really nothing to eat in the eyes of adults, but children love to eat this, which is a novelty.

"Mom, Dad, I want a pomegranate!" A child shouted to the young parents on both sides.

"Take a bag and pick up a few." The child's father said.

"Okay!" The young man shouted enthusiastically, and handed over a red plastic bag.

There was one person who bought it, and the onlookers sold it one after another.There are not many pomegranates here, although it is not impossible to find them, but it is indeed rare to see this kind of pomegranates on the street. Most people buy them just to taste them.

Zhang Taiping also came to him, picked up one and looked at it, the humidity on it was still heavy, and there were fresh leaves beside it, obviously it had just been picked not long ago.Asked: "Is this the pomegranate you grew yourself?"

"Yes, absolutely fresh, just picked." The young man responded and handed Zhang Taiping a bag.

"Get a big bag." Zhang Taiping said.With such a large group of people in the family, the number of such a small bag may not be enough for each person.

"Okay, okay!" The young man smiled brightly, and took a big bag for Zhang Taiping.

After buying pomegranates, I bought several catties of kumquats at the orange stand nearby.Then I scanned the street again, and there was no more special fruit on it, then I turned to an unoccupied place, put all the things in my hand into the space, and walked towards the seed shop.

The owner of the seed shop knew Zhang Taiping well and warmly entertained him.Indeed, it is difficult for people not to remember his figure.

"This time, brother, what kind of seeds are you looking for?" The fat boss's face was full of kindness.

Zhang Taiping said: "Buy wheat seeds."

The boss was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect that Zhang Taiping came to buy autumn seeds, the first two times he came to buy some rare seeds, in his opinion, Zhang Taiping is not like a farmer at all.

Zhang Taiping saw what the boss was thinking, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I'm just a farmer, and of course I will buy seeds to plant in autumn."

"Hehe, under the leadership of the party, classes have long since disappeared. Everyone is equal, and there is no distinction between high and low occupations. There are no farmers where there is food for big bosses and big leaders. Everyone is glorious." Smiling all over his face, he looked quite happy.

Zhang Taiping was amused, not because of his happy face, but because of what he said.Sitting on the chair, he said: "The boss is really a wonderful person."

"Hehe, it's all for eating." The smile on the fat boss's face widened, and he gave Zhang Taiping a cup of tea.

Zhang Taiping took a sip of tea, he could swallow it if he didn't want to.Putting down the teacup, he said, "I don't know what kind of wheat seeds are in the store?"

Seeing that it was time to talk about business, the fat boss put away the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Almost all kinds of wheat seeds we grow here are available in the store. I don't know what seeds you want?"

Zhang Taiping thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter how good the yield is, as long as the grains are full and the quality of the flour is good."

When people choose wheat seed varieties, they always consider the yield first, because if the yield is good, the surplus grain can be used to sell money. Anyway, in the eyes of most people, no matter what kind of variety the flour produced is the same. How many.But Zhang Taiping didn't expect to sell the extra grain that he couldn't eat, so he didn't care about the production, instead he focused on the quality, in order to eat comfortably.

"If this requirement is met, 'Xiaoyan No. 22' is the most suitable. The yield of this variety is not bad, but the quality of the ground noodles is absolutely passable, and it is absolutely no problem to eat noodles with cold skin."

Generally, people measure the quality of noodles based on whether they can eat pulled noodles and Liangpi, because good flour and the noodles are tough, and the pulled noodles are smooth and continuous. Ro.

Zhang Taiping has also heard of this variety, but it has been well received by many people, so he said: "Then let's use this variety, one hundred catties."

The price of wheat sold as food is more than one yuan per catty, but when it is sold as seeds, it is more than three yuan per catty. The price has more than tripled, but it is the same price.The three acres of land in the house only needs more than a dozen catties of seeds at most. Zhang Taiping bought so many to plant part of it in the space. The land at the foot of the mountain and bordering the grassland in the space looks quite fertile. It is not a waste to plant some crops.

"One hundred catties? Okay! It seems that brother is a big landlord, ha ha." The fat boss joked happily after hearing this.

Zhang Taiping smiled and didn't say anything. In terms of the land area contracted by him in the village, he can only be regarded as a small landlord.In terms of the area of ​​the land in the space, it is indeed worthy of the title of big landlord, but it is all private land.

After weighing the wheat seeds, the fat boss asked again: "I don't know what kind of fertilizer Brother Zhang needs?"

Zhang Taiping wanted to say that he didn't need any chemical fertilizers, but after thinking about it, he ordered two bags of urea.He thinks it is safest to eat food grown without chemical fertilizers, but that can only be carried out in the space. Fertilizers must be applied to the three acres of land outside, so as not to look different, even if it is in his own land in the future. The wheat grown in China is better than other people's, and people will only attribute it to the land itself, and will not suspect that it is man-made.

"Oh, by the way, some more rice seeds." Zhang Taiping remembered that he planned to build a few acres of paddy fields beside the lake in the space.

"Brother Zhang is still planning to grow rice?" The fat boss said, but his hands were unambiguous.

Zhang Taiping nodded: "There is a small river in front of the house. It happens that the water source is sufficient to reclaim a few acres of paddy fields. I can plant rice myself, so I don't have to buy rice all the time, and I can't buy good quality rice."

"It's a fact. I don't know how the rice bought in the store is grown. The quality is so poor that sometimes people can't eat it. It's better to eat the rice grown by yourself and feel comfortable."

"The inevitable result of the economy and society." Zhang Taiping said casually.

The fat boss unwrapped several bags and showed the seeds inside to Zhang Taiping. There was a sign in each of them, with the words rice, fragrant rice, and round-grained rice on it.

"There are not many people growing rice in our north, and rice seeds are not often sold, so I usually tie up this bag. You can see which one you want first." The fat boss put up the sign inside and said, "I will first Meet other guests."

Zhang Taiping picked up the rice grains in each bag with his hands and took a closer look. The seeds were plump and round, and looked good.To be honest, although this fat boss looks fat and round and looks like a profiteer, he does business fairly honestly. At least the seeds in the store are authentic, and there are no fake or defective goods.

After the boss came here, Zhang Taiping pointed to the three bags and said, "These three items come in ten catties each."

They are rice, fragrant rice and japonica rice.Ordinary rice or basmati rice is fine for meals, and japonica rice is most suitable for steaming cakes or cooking porridge.

The fat boss quickly packed rice seeds for Zhang Taiping, and then asked, "Is there anything else you need?"

Zhang Taiping had already bought all the things he wanted to buy, and remembering what Cai Yazhi asked him to take with him, he said, "Wait a minute, let me see." After speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, which listed what Cai Yazhi needed. There are coriander, lettuce and radish and cabbage seeds in it.Then he said, "Add four packets of lettuce, coriander, radish and cabbage seeds each."

"Piggyback for others?" The fat boss asked casually after taking all the seeds.

"It's not for others, it's something my daughter-in-law wants to buy." As he spoke, he raised the list in his hand.

After putting all the seeds in a bag, the fat boss saw that Zhang Taiping had nothing to buy, so he sold it by himself: "I still have some black wheat and black rice seeds here, I wonder if brother Zhang is interested?" After the first few contacts, he knew that Zhang Taiping was interested in some strange things.

"Oh? Take it out and have a look." Zhang Taiping was really interested, especially this black rice.

Black rice has a long history of planting and is an ancient and precious rice variety in China.According to legend, it was first discovered by Bowanghou Zhang Qian during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty more than 2000 years ago.

Every year after autumn, once the black rice matures, every family cooks porridge to try it out.The rice soup is as black as ink, and there is a faint medicinal taste in the mouth, which is very refreshing and suitable for the stomach.Over time, people have rich experience in eating black rice.Add gastrodia elata, white fungus, lily, rock sugar and the like when cooking porridge, which is better than fine nectar and jade liquid, and it is a good meal for entertaining guests.Patients with dizziness, dizziness and anemia often eat it, and the symptoms are obviously relieved.It is especially suitable for diet therapy for the elderly with sore waist and weak knees and weak limbs.Therefore black rice is called again " medicine rice ".

With the research of modern science, it has been found that black rice contains manganese, zinc, copper and other inorganic salts which are 1-3 times higher than rice; it also contains vitamin C, chlorophyll, anthocyanin, carotene and cardiac glycosides and other special ingredients, so black rice is more nutritious than ordinary rice.

Eating more black rice has the functions of appetizing and benefiting the middle, invigorating the spleen and warming the liver, improving eyesight and promoting blood circulation, and smoothing and replenishing essence.

The fat boss was really interested in seeing Zhang Taiping.A flower bloomed on his face, and he went into the back hall and brought out two bags.

Zhang Taiping first looked at the black rice seeds, squeezed them with his hands, and crushed the rice grains directly, the inside was also black, put it under his nose and sniffed, there was no peculiar smell, and confirmed that it was genuine.Although black rice is highly nutritious, its yield is not ideal, so the market has always been in short supply, so some people pretend to be ordinary rice below.Therefore, even though you can trust the character of the fat boss, you can't help but guard against it.

The fat boss didn't say anything about Zhang Taiping's behavior, and kept standing by the side with a smile, until Zhang Taiping stood up, and said with a smile: "It's definitely the real thing, the signboard of my shop has been worked hard little by little The accumulated ones will definitely not do the kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall. How about it, are you interested?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said, "Five catties."

"Okay!" The fat boss immediately took it out with a scale.

Generally, the rice that is eaten is more than two yuan, and the seeds are four or five yuan, and the seeds of this black rice are directly 12 yuan a catty.And the output is not high, let alone in the north, it is no wonder that these seeds have been deposited in the store.

For black wheat seeds, Zhang Taiping also plans to buy some.

The biggest function of black wheat is to prolong life. It is known as a magical longevity food, and it is also known as Yishou Mai.As we all know, black crop products contain triticale pigment, which has high nutrition, high nourishment, and high immunity functions, and its value is doubled.It has the same curative effect on juvenile gray hair as black sesame, and has a good anti-cancer effect.

Pick up a handful with your hands and let it fall freely from the palm of your hand. The particles are full, with a black luster, and it is indeed the No. [-] seed.Said: "This one weighs ten catties."

After weighing, Zhang Taiping thought about it. Since he bought black rice and black wheat, he might as well buy some black sesame seeds. These things are very good for the body.

So he asked, "Are there any black sesame seeds?"

Although these black things are rich in nutrition and valuable, but not many people grow them, so black is rare.

The fat boss clicked his lips and said: "Originally there were still some, but a few days ago someone said it was to treat the white hair of the child, so he bought them all. If you want, I will bring you some back when I buy them in two days." .”

"That's fine. Let's bring back five catties." Zhang Taiping said.

I finally bought it, and it cost nearly a thousand dollars.Zhang Taiping was happy when he bought what he needed, and the fat boss sold so many things, he was also happy in his heart.

Finally, the fat boss stuffed the two packs of purple heart radish seeds into the bag and said: "Brother Zhang has taken care of our store many times, and two packs of radish seeds are worth it."

Zhang Taiping looked at the two packs of radish seeds, both of which were newly developed varieties, and a pack cost more than ten yuan. Seeing that the fat boss was sincere, he didn't refuse.After paying the money, he put everything in one place and said: "I still have to go shopping on the street to buy some other things. These things are temporarily put here, and I will pick them up later."

"Okay! You can come and pick it up anytime." The fat boss said with a smile.
