Space Spirit Spring: Doomsday boss dressed as a peasant girl

Chapter 22 Rediscovering the Xia Dynasty
The family has one hundred Wen, and her son was going to do corvée before. She was worried that he would be hungry on the way, so she took all the money away with him.

Now the family doesn't have a single copper plate, so where can I hire part-time laborers?

Seeing that she was cramped, Nan Yan took out a tael of silver from her bosom, and said, "I'll help you out with the money for short-term laborers, and I'll deduct the money when you collect the rent."

In fact, she didn't need to say this at all, the tenants were not only Zhou Xiaozi's family, but also four other families.

If she paid to help Zhou Xiao's own family, but the other four did not, there would definitely be conflicts.

Now it's best for her to pay in advance and deduct the money when the flowers are received.

As for whether to buckle it when the time comes, that's up to her.

Lan Hua didn't want to hire short-term labor, but she thought that if they didn't clean up the land quickly, Nan Yan would definitely take the land back.

After thinking about it, Yinqian murmured: "Miss Nan, don't worry, I will hire someone tonight, and I will cultivate another piece of land in the next two days."

: "Well, please look at the arrangements for hiring people. Now you are busy, Fangfang and I will go first." Nanyan turned and left here, pulled Jueying's rope again, and went halfway up the mountain with Zhou Fang to see if there was anyone there. No wild vegetables.

Lan Hua looked at the people who went out, and even said that she would go and finish hiring short-term workers at night.

Nan Yan saw Zhou Fang hesitated to speak along the way, and asked, "Fang Fang, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Fang was worried about Nan Yan just now, and took back the land from her little brother's house. She was thinking about how to intercede for Aunt Lanhua, but she heard sister Yan talk about hiring part-time workers.

Zhou Fang thought of Aunt Lanhua's appearance just now, and said with distress: "Uncle Fugui and Uncle Dashan went hunting in the mountains to exchange money, and then both of them disappeared. Grandpa Daniel and his wife lost their son, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man. It took two years. The couple died one after another."

Zhou Fang looked at the mountains in the distance and continued, saying: "When Grandpa Daniel and his wife left, brother Xiaozi was not yet ten years old. Aunt Lanhua has been pulling brother Xiaozi all these years, and their siblings have grown up. Some time ago, the government conscripted and my second brother and the others... didn’t know that brother Xiaozi was back? Huh?” Zhou Fang couldn’t say the rest.

Because the latter words are too hurtful?

The men who came back from the corvée either peeled off their skin every year, or came back with a scrawny body. There were even poor people who did not have enough food and clothing on the way to the service, and died in the corvée before returning home. On the road or at the place of service.

Nan Yan didn't know what to say.

She has never experienced such things as corvee service, and she doesn't know how to respond to Zhou Fang's words.

In the end, he could only say dryly, "One day, the common people will no longer be afraid of going to serve corvee."

Zhou Fang stared at Nan Yan with round almond eyes, and said, "Sister Yan'er is telling the truth?"

Nan Yan: "..."

She is not the king of the Xia Dynasty, how can she know if it is true, now she can only give this girl a fantasy.

Nan Yan was embarrassed for deceiving the little girl. The two said a few words about Zhou Xiao's own words. Zhou Fang's sadness just now turned into a smiling face, and she happily introduced the nearby mountains and rivers to Nan Yan.

Zhou Fang and Nan Yan went halfway up the mountain and met a few little girls from the village who also came to dig wild vegetables. After Zhou Fang said hello to the little girls, she and Nan Yan went to dig in places where no one was around.

Seeing a piece of shepherd's purse that no one has dug, Zhou Fang said, "Sister Yan'er, come here quickly, haven't you dug up the shepherd's purse here yet?"

Nan Yan carried a bamboo basket and a small hoe to Zhou Fang's location, and the two began digging shepherd's purse.

The little girls in the village who came to dig wild vegetables, even though they were digging wild vegetables, their eyes looked at Nan Yan from time to time.

Nan Yan dug about a catty, and she didn't want the wild vegetables she dug up later, but put them in Zhou Fang's basket and asked Zhou Fang to take them back.

Zhou Fang put a few shepherd's purses into the basket and said, "Sister Yan'er, there are a lot of wild vegetables here, so you don't need to give them to me."

Nan Yan: "I'm the only one in my family now, and I can't finish digging too much. It's better for me to dig together with you."

Zhou Fang forgot about Nan Yan's house just now, and now she is the only one there, seeing that Nan Yan is still digging, she can only talk to Nan Yan about digging wild vegetables.

The two of them dug about the same, and went to the field to look for seaweed sprouts.

Unknowingly, Nan Yan and Zhou Fang walked to the village chief and the others' work place, Wu Shi saw Nan Yan and them from a distance, and shouted loudly: "Fang Fang, you and Miss Yan'er come to the field for a while. "

Through her own thoughts last night, Wu is unwilling to continue calling Nan Yan Miss Nan, she thinks it is more kind to call Miss Yan'er.

Nan Yan and Zhou Fang came to the field, and Wu said to the two daughters-in-law: "Boss, the second child's family, it's already noon for lunch, you two go and get your lunch, we're going to have lunch now. "

Farmers work, if the land is far away, they usually don't go back for lunch at noon.

Mrs. Wu and the others brought their lunch to the field today.

In the morning, Mrs. Wu learned that her daughter was going to dig wild vegetables with Nanyan, and told Zhou Fang that she remembered to bring Nanyan over for lunch, and now Zhou Fang would bring Nanyan over.

Nan Yan didn't plan to have lunch in the mountains, she didn't bring anything to eat except snacks and candies.

However, Jueying had the sack she brought from Naxi Town hanging on her body, and now it is not impossible to go to the sack and take it out from the space.

Nan Yan took out three large white flour steamed buns from the sack, cold vegetables packed in oil-seed bags, and the dried fruit prepared earlier, and distributed them to the grandchildren of the village head's family.

Seeing Nan Yan putting down the things in her hand and sharing candy with her grandchildren, Wu said with a smile: "Miss Yan'er, candy is very expensive, you can just keep it for yourself and eat it slowly, how can you share it with these monkeys?" eat."

Sugar may be very expensive to Wu and the others, but to Nan Yan who has a big supermarket, it is really not a problem, so Nan Yan said: "Sister-in-law, auntie, come and eat one too." To Wu.

After the meal, Mrs. Wu opened Nan Yan's bamboo basket and Zhou Fang's basket, saw the wild vegetables inside, and thought that their peasants were used to these things and thought they were delicious. The habit of not being able to eat.

Nan Yan saw that the village head and the rest had rested and continued farming. She stood up curiously, took a look, and said, "Auntie, are you farming millet now?"

The Wu family doesn't know what millet is. What they are farming now is "corn".

Wu: "Miss Yan'er, we don't grow millet, we grow corn, but what kind of food is millet that Miss Yan'er is talking about!"

Nan was taken aback?
That's right, she remembered that "Ji" was the main name for millet in history.

And "Ji" is also called "millet", and millet has five colors, which are "white, red, yellow, black, orange, and purple".

And millet is the name of later generations, Wu doesn't know millet, in fact, millet is also normal.

Nan Yan: "Auntie, I'm talking about corn!"

Wu: "So you said that millet is corn. We didn't know that corn has such an elegant name."

Nan Yan chuckled, and then asked: "Auntie, after you finish planting the corn, will you plant corn later?"

"What is corn, Miss Yan'er." Mrs. Wu didn't know what corn was, and she thought Nan Yan was referring to other crops that were elegant.

Nan Yan was startled.

She remembered that corn first appeared in the Americas in history, and Mexico and Central America were earlier, and the florists were introduced in the Jiajing 30 years of the Ming Dynasty.
