Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 231

Xiuyao hastily refused, saying: "We also made money, Second Mistress, don't be so polite, it's a matter of mutual benefit for everyone, and the payment has already been made, so other families don't need it."

The second grandma smiled and said: "You shouldn't be polite to me. This thing is just to start eating fresh, and after a while, it will come out somewhere. Why don't we take advantage of the good leader at the beginning, and eat more food?" Earn some?" She smiled and took out a small redwood box filled with lacquer, and put it in Xiuyao's arms, "This is a thank you gift for you, don't refuse, or I will get angry."

Xiuyao still didn't dare to accept it, "Second Grandma, we took the payment."

The second grandma smiled and said: "I know, this is what you deserve. The price you gave us is very cheap. I sold it at a high price. I didn't forget the well digger when I drafted it. I only thought that you will have good things in the future, so give it to me." .”

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Second Grandma takes care of her, and she's refreshing, so I'll give it to you naturally."

The second grandma said happily: "Then you shouldn't refuse. If it's for no reason, I can't give you anything. One is that others gossip, and the other is that your mother is also a strong one. Naturally, you should be afraid. Now, you should It’s not that I give it to you for free, you don’t have to feel it’s an advantage, and I don’t feel it’s a disadvantage, it’s a very good thing.”

Xiuyao thanked her, then gently opened the wooden box, but she was also surprised. Inside was a pair of gold bracelets and two ingots worth ten taels of silver.She hurriedly said, "Second Grandma, I..."

Second Mistress interrupted her and said with a smile: "I said, you deserve this. I won't hide it from you. You made us money. That's how I behave."

Xiuyao had no choice but to thank her and let her eldest brother keep it.

Second Mistress gave Qin Ye another gift to congratulate him on his newlyweds. It was not worth anything, so Qin Ye would not be embarrassed.After chatting for a while, the second grandma said: "You guys, Haoran and Ning'er all know each other, so you might as well go over and have a chat earlier. You young people have nothing to talk to us about." They pass.

Xiuyao and Qin Ye left.

As soon as the two entered the backyard, they heard a burst of hearty laughter. It turned out to be Gu Ning's joyful voice, "Is it really worth it? I cared about what you wanted two years ago, but it was gone. Where did this come from?"

Feng Haoran smiled and said: "Coincidentally, when you went to Beijing last year, I asked my father to send it over from the south, and my son just arrived. He also said that maybe the imperial court will promote it next year."

"If this is the case, then there will be no hunger in the prosperous age."

Hearing their talking and laughing, Xiuyao's heart skipped a beat. Are they talking about corn?Xiuyao ran towards the study, pushed the door open, and said happily: "Are there any seeds of Panmai?"

Gu Ning and Feng Haoran in the room looked at her, nodded with a smile, Feng Haoran smiled and said, "Yaoyao, how do you know?"

Xiuyao said: "Gu Ning said it before."

Feng Haoran understood, and said to Gu Ning: "Oh, the last time you asked for seeds, it was for Yaoyao."

Gu Ning couldn't help but darken his eyes when he heard the kindness of his call, but nodded and smiled, "That's right." He said to Xiuyao, "There are about twenty catties of seeds here, you can try it out."

Xiuyao quickly thanked, "Twenty catties can be used to plant four or five acres of land. You said that you will promote it in the coming year? Then I can provide more seeds."

Gu Ning said: "Even if the imperial court promotes it, there may not be all human species. You planted it first this year. If they see the benefits, they will be willing."

Feng Haoran smiled and said: "When the time comes, you write an article encouraging the planting of wild wheat, I'm afraid the whole Jinan Prefecture will plant it."

Gu Ning smiled without saying a word.

With this amazing thing, Xiuyao was so happy that she kept looking at it and touching it one by one, it was really fulfilling.Seeing her like that, several people couldn't help laughing, Feng Haoran said with a smile: "Yaoyao, this food is not as good as fine noodles, people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang don't even care about it."

Xiuyao smiled and said: "It's because they are rich, so it's not uncommon. We often cause disasters here and there. If there is a little bit of this, it will solve a big problem. If it is popularized, fewer people will starve to death, which is a good thing. One."

Gu Ning nodded slightly, "That's true. If there are more people in Feixian County than other places in the second year, I'm afraid it will be your credit." When a new seed is promoted by the court, it often encounters a lot of resistance.There are always people who don't like change, even if it is good or beneficial, they will be afraid and resist, and even cause unnecessary disputes.

Xiuyao's family planted one species first, and when others see the benefits, it will naturally become more popular.

"This is more popular than sweet potatoes. Although it is not as delicious as fine noodles, it can always fill your stomach and not spoil it." Gu Ning said.

Several people were talking, when the voices of Feng Yulan and Gu Ying came from outside, Xiuyao hurriedly asked her elder brother to leave with the corn seeds, "It's getting late, so we won't bother you, we have to go see Mai Chuozi tomorrow Woolen cloth."

Gu Ning smiled, "Please go ahead."

When Xiuyao and Qin Ye went out, they were blocked by Gu Ying. She gave Xiuyao a displeased look, "Hey, why are you here?"

Feng Haoran immediately said: "Yingying, my mother invited them here, the Qin family and our family are relatives."

Gu Ying turned her head to look at Feng Yulan, Feng Yulan glanced at Gu Ning quickly, her snow-white cheeks were slightly flushed, she whispered: "Their mother Liu Mama worked in our house."

Xiuyao couldn't help but glanced at her when she heard that, and smiled, "Second Mistress is kind-hearted, she knew we were here, so she invited us to stay overnight and talked for a while." After saying that, she left and left with her elder brother.

Feng Haoran was a little dissatisfied with Feng Yulan, and said, "Mother Liu was your nanny, why do you say she is a servant?"

Feng Yulan's cheeks turned even redder, she didn't dare to raise her head, and argued in a low voice, "Brother, Mama Liu is helping our family make insoles."

Gu Ying raised her chin, "It's a servant's daughter, why are you so nervous, really, what a fuss."

Gu Ning frowned slightly, and said: "It's getting late, let's rest." Then he invited Feng Haoran to talk in his room, and asked Gu Ying and Feng Yulan to rest early.

As soon as they left, Gu Ying stomped her feet angrily, and said to Feng Yulan: "Don't worry, my brother is just too kind. He always feels pity for those farmers who are suffering. He often goes out, and even horses He sold it to help others. He didn't have any special intentions for that Qin Xiuyao, it was just a habit."

Feng Yulan nodded, forced a smile and said, "I just hate that I can't go out and do something like her. I'm locked up at home every day, and people can see that I can't do anything."

Gu Ying snorted coldly, "Why are you belittling yourself? You don't know how to farm, but you know how to embroider, write and paint, you know how to play the piano and flute, what can she do? I think she can eat black dough."

Feng Yulan laughed at what she said, and there were two charming dimples on Yubai's face, which made Gu Ying sigh: "You are so beautiful, my brother will definitely like you. My aunt passed away, and I Uncle doesn't care much about elder brother either, and his marriage must not be found in a higher family. You are actually very suitable."

Feng Yulan's cheeks turned red immediately, and she hurriedly looked around, but luckily the maids did not follow.Gu Ying was cherished by her grandfather since she was a child, like a boy, but she is different, but although she feels that Gu Ying's words are a bit straightforward, she likes them in her heart, and she is secretly looking forward to something.

On the second day, when I was going to say goodbye to Qin Ye early in the morning, Second Mistress asked someone to prepare a large breakfast table for them to eat together. Feng Haoran and Gu Ning also came over, so we sat down and had dinner together. .

After breakfast, Xiuyao and Qin Ye said their goodbyes, and the second grandma asked Feng Haoran to see them off, Feng Haoran said: "Mother, then I will accompany my cousin for a walk, and by the way, I will go to the cloth shop of the grain store to check. Are there any false claims?"

The second grandma laughed. Last year because of the grain store, the old man said that Feng Haoran was promising and upright. He praised Feng Haoran for a long time and rewarded him with a lot of good things. He also asked him to take the initiative to go to those places. No matter whose name it is, let him just reprimand him without saving any face.

She waved her hand, "Go."

Gu Ning and the others also said goodbye, and everyone went out together, Xiuyao wanted to say goodbye to them, Feng Haoran said: "Let's drop by, I'll go and see your Mai Chuo, our family wants to buy it too."

Xiuyao laughed. They have so many lands, so they want to buy more, "Brother Feng, you have so many lands, and there are shopkeepers who travel all over the world. Why don't you know about this trick?"

Feng Haoran scratched his head and said with a smile: "I don't know either." He looked at Gu Ning, "Gu Ning must know." He is the same age as Gu Ning, but there is only a difference of two days, so he has to be called cousin in front of his elders , called by name outside.

Gu Ning smiled and said: "It's actually simple. There were such tools in the first place, but some hired workers refused to use them. They make one day's money and eat one day's food. If they can do ten days' work in one day If it is gone, there will be no food and less money. So they refuse to use it, and still like to use the sickle."

Feng Haoran clapped his hands, "Hey, that's it."

Xiuyao laughed and said: "Then you can contract the land to them. You can calculate the money according to the land. How much is the harvest of one mu of wheat, so you don't have to calculate it according to the day. They harvested the wheat earlier and can rest .”

Everyone said it was good, and they walked quickly as they talked, and they arrived at the bamboo craftsman's shop.Zhang bamboo craftsman, with his son and mother-in-law, stayed up all night, weaving seven or eight playthings and assembling them.

Zhang Mi crafter said: "Miss Qin, we added something to this stick. Here is a bumper." He pointed to the back of the stick, "This way it won't hurt people easily."

Xiuyao saw a man with a cloth wrapped around his leg, and asked with concern: "Have you been cut? Is it serious?"

The son of the Zhang bamboo craftsman smiled and said: "It's all right, it's rough and thick, so I scratched it once. Change it and it will be fine, and it won't be scratched again."

Xiuyao hurriedly thanked her, Feng Haoran said to go to the cloth shop of the grain store to have a look, Xiuyao said that she and her elder brother were here to look at the bamboo shoots, Feng Haoran said: "What's so interesting about this, you can come back after they finish weaving."
