Chapter 147 Tai Jiye offers treasure

Soon, Tai Yongan was also kicked out of the wing.

It's not that the Tai family is very particular, but the uncle and nephew were afraid of missing the farming season, so they hurried all the way. Not to mention taking a bath, even their faces hadn't touched water for several days.

The two good people did not return home in glory, but came to beg for food like beggars...

When the villagers heard the news, they arrived one after another and squatted outside the yard chatting.

"The third child brought back so many carts of goods, I don't know what good things they are."

"I don't know yet. The third child is smart. He probably won't take her back if it's not valuable or popular."

"The fabric in the south is the best, it must be fabric."

"Not necessarily, maybe it's porcelain."

"Maybe it's tea?"

Everyone was buzzing with speculation, and for a moment it seemed like it was Chinese New Year.

Third Master Tai was as cautious as ever, smiling from ear to ear, and he didn't forget to hit the villagers.

"Let's just take a look at our family members. We must keep our mouths shut after we go out. Otherwise, no matter what kind of profitable business the third child has, I won't take you with me."

"Don't worry, Third Uncle, we all understand."

"That's right, that's right, good food should be cooked in one's own pot. Who is so stupid as to say everything to others?"

"Even if people ask, we can't tell."

The villagers smiled and patted their chests for reassurance.

Soon, Tai Jiye and Tai Yongan were all cleaned up, put on new clothes and shoes, and finally looked like a person.

Mr. Tai asked in a pretentious manner, "Are the cashmere mats and other items you brought out this time easy to sell? What kind of goods did you bring back?"

Tai Jiye responded quickly, "Don't worry, Dad, the cashmere cushions are very popular, and they were replaced before they even got to the south. I exchanged some tea leaves, candies, fruits and cloth for them."

Mr. Tai nodded and said nothing more.In fact, he was most concerned about Chen Ruiyang, but he couldn't ask him carefully at the moment.

The people in the village were eager to hear it, and they all looked at the boxes and cages in the yard.

Tai Jiye was not stingy either, he asked his sister-in-law to open a jar of lychees in syrup and pour them into large pottery bowls, and then everyone in the village shared one to taste something new.

The north is barren, not to mention the lychee in the south, it is the most common fruit, and no one has eaten it a few times.

The white and tender lychee meat amazed everyone, even chewed and swallowed the kernels.

Especially the boys of various families hold it in their mouths and are reluctant to swallow it, just want to feel the sweet taste more.

However, the women of each family were a little distracted when they ate, and finally the third aunt next door took the lead and asked, "Third son, since cashmere mats and underwear are so easy to sell, will our family continue to weave in the future?"

"Of course!" Tai Laosan agreed straight away, smiling enthusiastically, "Not only do we have to weave, but we have to weave more! Dear aunts and sisters-in-law, as long as you are not too tired, we will still pay the previous wages. We can do it every day. Work!”

"Haha, this is great!" The women immediately cheered!

They had each earned a hundred cents in wages before. Although they had agreed that the money was for their own use and their family could not interfere with it.

But as a mother, if you see your child without clothes, don’t you care?

Why don’t you buy a piece of candy when your child is shouting for it?

If you don’t have oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar at home, why don’t you buy more?

After tearing it apart in such bits and pieces, there is actually nothing left.It's fine if you have no money all the time, but after enjoying the joy of controlling income, it will be unbearable to have empty hands again.

Therefore, women urgently need to make money, make a lot of money.They are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, they are just afraid of having no work to do!
Tai Jiye took advantage of the bustle of the crowd to talk and winked at Master Tai.

Mr. Tai San immediately shouted to the villagers, "Okay, we've seen the fun and eaten the candies and fruits. Let's all disperse. Jiye and Yong'an are tired after coming all the way back, so let them go to bed early." We all live in the same village, and the days are long, so we can talk to each other if we have anything to say."

The villagers obeyed and it was really getting dark, so they all left and went home together.

Tai Sanye also wanted to leave, but Tai Jiye stayed behind.

Liu Dongniang quickly set up dinner with Chunhong. The pheasants and rabbits that were brought back from the mountains earlier, after entertaining old man Wang and the half-immortal, left a little, and now they are all stewed in the pot.

Zhuzhu clung to her third uncle, sitting in his arms and chewing chicken legs, her big eyes curled into crescents with joy.

Tai Yong'an felt itchy when he saw it, so he quickly finished eating, snatched his sister over, and sat on his neck.

"Let's go, Zhuzhu, big brother will take you Feifei!"

Zhuzhu’s little hand was holding her eldest brother’s hand, and the two siblings were running around the room like airplanes.

Tai Yongan was rude. After playing for a while, he finally remembered that someone was missing at home, so he asked, "Where is Yongning?"

Yang Lihua responded briefly and talked about Yongning's broken leg being reattached.

Tai Yongan's expression changed, and he immediately took his sister into the east room...

Tai Jiye had just heard what his elder brother said, so he was not in a hurry now.

What he is more anxious about is offering treasures!
"Father, uncle! I got a good thing this time, high-yield grain, definitely better than sorghum and millet, and delicious grain."

As he spoke, he went outside to tinker for a while, and then brought in a stick of corn and a handful of corn grains.

The old man and Tai Sanye are still doing well, but Tai Jizu is very excited.

He likes farming the most, and the field at home is also where he puts the most effort and sweat into it.

He took the corn stick and looked over it, his voice of surprise changing its tone.

"What kind of food is this? Is it delicious? The ears are so big, do you want to grind them into powder?"

The old man and Mr. Tai couldn't help it, and started grabbing them back and forth.

"This thing is much more honest than sorghum ears!"

"Yes, the particles are big! One sorghum is worth more than ten sorghum grains!"

Tai Jiye proudly distributed the corn kernels to his family members, gesturing for them to bite them into pieces and taste them.

The outer skin is a bit hard, the inside is pink and glutinous, with a slight sweetness...

good stuff!
Everyone raised their heads and looked at each other with excitement.

"How much does this grain yield per acre, how many months does it take to grow, and how do you eat it? You tell me!"

Mr. Tai had a bad temper and slapped his son on the back of the head, "You are mute. If you get Qiao for me again, your legs will be broken!"

Tai Jiye gritted his teeth in pain and dared to sneer, so he responded quickly.

"Dad, don't worry, this corn is harvested at the same time as sorghum, but it cannot be planted as densely as sorghum. Just plant two plants about one foot in front and back, and put two seeds in one hole! The harvest from one acre of land is one higher than that of sorghum. More than twice that!
"And after the corn sticks grow, there will be corn beards on them. When the beards turn black and dry, you can throw them into the pot and cook them. In autumn, when they are fully mature, they are dried and crushed. The big ones are called big grains. The small grains are called small grains, which make you hungry when you make porridge. Grind them into flour and make them into pancakes. They are fluffy and sweet! In short, they are delicious no matter how you eat them. They are much more promising than sorghum and millet!"

It's okay for others, but Liu Dongniang was so excited to hear that, she can't wait to go to autumn immediately, and she will study how to eat the new food.
