The space farmer comes to farm

Chapter 20 Watermelon and Strawberries

Although the shovel is too small and the speed is not fast, that is only in relative terms.

Su Yu's strength is very strong now. With a light shovel, he can dig out a large piece of soil, pick out the grass and throw it into the basket, and Su Yu will move forward a few steps.

Just like that, when Su Yan got up, she had already pulled out the grass in half of the yard.

"Sister, you haven't slept all night, have you?" Su Yan rubbed his eyes, looked at the bare half of the yard, and felt that the way he got up must be wrong.

"No. I'm asleep. Should we eat now or wait for your brother-in-law to come back?" Su Yu asked Su Yan for his opinion.

"Wait for brother-in-law to come back. I'm not hungry yet. Why don't I pull weeds with you?" Su Yan said, and walked towards the kitchen. When he came out again, he also had a shovel in his hand.

The two siblings work together faster, of course, mainly because of Su Yu's speed.

Su Yan looked at Su Yu's actions in surprise, and couldn't figure out why her sister suddenly became so capable.

Not long after the two of them mowed the grass in the yard, Jiang Qi came back pushing the flatbed cart.

Su Yu saw a lot of things piled up on the flatbed truck, and walked over enthusiastically, "What did you buy?"

"Seeds, and farm tools." Jiang Qi said.

Su Yu didn't speak when he heard his answer, but just picked and picked among a pile of things.

"Hey, what is this?" Su Yu opened a cloth bag as he spoke.

Inside the cloth bag are several pieces of cloth, one is cyan, one is black, and the other is blue.

"Is this used to make clothes for us?" Su Yu asked Jiang Qi holding the cloth.

Jiang Qi looked at Su Yu with sparkling eyes, and finally nodded.

Jiang Qi pushed the flatbed cart under the thatched shed next to the kitchen, and said to Su Yu and the others, "Let's eat first."

Su Yu also nodded, "Yes, let's eat first."

Breakfast was very simple, rice porridge and scallion pancakes. After the three of them and the two cats had breakfast together, they began to carefully check the things on the flatbed.

After some inspection, there are two grapples. The grapple is a kind of agricultural tool consisting of a wooden stick and three side-by-side spikes. It is mainly used to loosen the soil, and it is also used when harvesting peanuts and sweet potatoes.

Two shovels, two sickles, one rake, and then there are large and small packets of vegetable seeds. There are words written on each paper packet. Unfortunately, I don't know any Su language.

Seeing Su Yu's frustration, Jiang Qi picked up the paper bags one by one, pointed to the words on them and said to her, "This is cabbage, eggplant, beans, cucumber, loofah, pumpkin, green beans, tomatoes..."

Su Yu listened carefully, but at the end she was a little confused. Why did she have all kinds of vegetables? She remembered that in the novel, there were not many kinds of vegetables in the fictional dynasties?

She originally thought about growing some uncommon vegetables to make money, but now it seems that it won't work.

"These two packages were given to me by the shopkeeper because I bought a lot. They are watermelon and strawberries." Jiang Qi said to Su Yu with the last two paper packages in his hand.

"What are watermelon and strawberry?" Su Yan asked immediately.

Su Yu was also attracted by these two names, and no longer bothered about her being illiterate.There are even face fruits here, so there is really no way for her to survive.

"The shopkeeper said that these are two kinds of fruits, but we still don't think anyone has grown them here." Jiang Qi said.

Seeing Jiang Qi's way of speaking, Su Yu didn't show a trace of curiosity, maybe because he was always like this, and he wasn't interested in anything.

However, Su Yu didn't care about these things. What she cared about was that she finally had a way to make money.

"Then let's just look at it. Maybe we can make money, after all, we don't have any here." Su Yu said, looking at Jiang Qi and Su Yan.

"Yes." Jiang Qi agreed, anyway, no matter what it is, he will not plant it.

Conversely, it's the same for everything.

Su Yan struggled and said, "But, sister, do you know how it is planted?"

Although my sister used to do a lot of work every day, she was never allowed to do farming.

"Explore slowly, and you'll be fine." Su Yu said indifferently.

Just kidding, how could she, who graduated from an agricultural university, not know how to farm?Besides, she has planted many lands in the space.

"We don't have much land, it's just over an acre. Let's grow some commonly eaten vegetables, and then grow these two kinds of fruits?" Su Yu asked.

In fact, she is also very entangled in her heart. Planting some of each kind of vegetables is still a lot. At most, one mu of land can only be planted with fruits, and they have to be divided into two, which is really too little.

Jiang Qi suddenly said, "That deer was sold for a total of 30 taels of silver. We spent a total of three taels of silver to buy these things. We still have 27 taels. If you think the land is too little, we can buy some more." .

"Really?" Su Yu looked at Jiang Qi in surprise.

"En." Jiang Qi nodded affirmatively, seeing Su Yu happy, he would also feel a little bit of joy.

Su Yu rested his hands on his chin, and began to plan to buy a few more acres of land around, but what is the price of this land?

"How do you sell this land? How much can you buy for 27 taels of silver?" Su Yu hurriedly asked.

"Wasteland is cheaper, it costs three taels of silver per mu."

After Su Yu heard this, he immediately made a calculation in his heart, three taels of silver per mu, then they could buy nine mu.

But if you really buy it, you can’t count it according to this. After all, buying land requires a handling fee, and you also need to give some benefits to the village chief and the people who handle the affairs. No matter what age you are, this is necessary.

Su Yu thought so in his heart, so he said it like this.

After Jiang Qi heard this, he also nodded in agreement, with a flash of approval in his eyes. Unexpectedly, his little wife is quite smart.

Seeing that Jiang Qi agreed with his statement, Su Yu immediately urged Jiang Qi to go to the village chief to discuss about buying the land.

The weather is getting warmer, and the people in the village have already started to prepare for spring plowing.

Although what they want to grow is not food, they have to start preparing early.

Watermelons and strawberries are fruits with a short growth cycle. If they are planted now, they should be harvested for the first time in two or three months.

Thinking that her first pot of gold was right in front of her eyes, Su Yu urged Jiang Qi again.

Seeing Su Yu's eagerness, Jiang Qi had no choice but to walk towards Yunwu Village with his things.

Fortunately, when he was in town, he bought a piece of pork, and brought the fabric he was going to make into clothes, and that was enough.

Seeing Jiang Qi walking away, Su Yu reluctantly looked away.

From the corner of the eye, I saw Su Yan who was standing beside him, and Su Yu asked aloud, "Xiaoyan, don't you blame my sister for taking out the fabric your brother-in-law bought for you?"
