Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 91 I Still Like Corn Best

Seeing the result of Xiaonian's choice, Han Duyue nodded in relief. She was worried that Xiaonian was too young and would be fooled by others. Now it seems that Xiaonian is a clever ghost at all.

"Junzi, why don't you thank the young master?" Li Chuan tugged at his son and said with a smile on his face.

Li Jun hurriedly took a step forward, bowed and said, "It's my good fortune that the young master thinks highly of me, and I will definitely take care of the young master's land properly!"

"Then I will thank you, Master Li." Xiaonian also bowed, looking very cute with a serious look.

The remaining five acres of Han Qingmei's land has yet to be rented out to whom.

As soon as Liu San saw that there were only five acres of land left, his enthusiasm immediately dropped a lot. He originally thought that he and his cousin could easily take down the 25 acres of land, but who knew it would turn out to be That's it.

So comparing the two, this time Li Chuan seemed to be more active: "Mrs. Han, I wonder if you can rent out your five acres of land?"

"That's good, then I'll have to thank Master Li." Han Qingmei saw everything before, and nodded without much hesitation at this moment.

Now the candidates for renting and farming the land have been decided. Although Liu San and the others are a little unhappy that they have made this trip in vain, but after all, there is shopkeeper Li sitting there, so they don't have much to say.

"Since Mrs. Han's family has made a decision, I'll take these two back first. As for other matters, I won't get involved." Li Kaishi stood up with a smile, and it's fine for him to stay here It can be done, anyway, he has already explained what he should explain, and there will definitely be no mistakes.

Han Qingmei originally wanted to keep shopkeeper Li at home for dinner, but when she saw that Li Chuan, his son, and Shi Shi were waiting there, she had to temporarily give up the idea, got up and sent Li Kaishi away.

Back in the house again, Han Duyue said bluntly: "Master Shitou, Master Li, and Master Li, what crops have you grown before?"

Shitou looked at Li Chuan and his son, and said first: "The young one has grown wheat, soybeans, peanuts, cotton, and corn a year ago, but corn is not common here, so it is not good to grow. As for the others There are several kinds, and the small ones are familiar because they have been planted more than once."

Han Duyue listened carefully to Shitou's words. When he heard the other party mention corn, Han Duyue couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Master Shitou, do you mean that we don't often see corn here? Why is that?"

"Corn is brought in from the border, and it's just for entertainment. I met a landlord's family before and wanted to plant some corn for entertainment, so I planted half an acre of land, and the harvest was not good." Shitou Scratching his head, he said embarrassingly, although almost no one here knows how to grow corn, and he didn't treat corn as food, but after all, what happened to it, he felt very embarrassed.

And Han Duyue didn't notice this at all. She is trying to remember now. She had never seen cornmeal when she was at home before, but is there any store in the town?

Han Duyue racked her brains for a while, and was able to confirm that no one seemed to eat cornmeal here.It seems that, as Shi Shi said, corn has not been popularized here as an important food crop.

Thinking of this, Han Duyue suddenly became interested: "Master Shitou, I want to grow corn, do you think so?"

"Huh? Miss Han also wants to grow corn for fun?" Shitou was shocked.

Han Duyue's face darkened, what does it mean that he planted corn to play with?
"Master Shitou, I overheard people saying that corn can be used not only for entertainment, but also as food." Han Duyue can only say this, after all, she is young, if she discovered it by herself, That's not realistic at all, she hasn't seen corn in this world so far.

Shitou couldn't believe it. He had only seen corn in that landlord's house, and hadn't seen it in ordinary villages.

Han Duyue saw that Shitou didn't believe it, so she could only emphasize: "Master Shitou, I really heard it from someone, and that person also told me how to grow corn to improve the harvest, what I said is true. "

"This...it's not that I don't believe Miss Han's words, it's just that Miss Han, your age is..." Shitou is a sincere person, although he knows that he can't offend the family, he still can't help questioning it.

At this time, Han Qingmei said: "Master, my Xiaoyue did know something from the side. You may find it a bit strange, but I can guarantee that Xiaoyue will not lie."

Han Duyue didn't expect Han Qingmei to believe in herself so much, her heart was very warm, but when she saw Han Qingmei's expression clearly, she suddenly felt a little sad again.

At this moment, besides the trust in Han Qingmei's daughter, there was a hint of guilt and distress on Han Qingmei's face.Han Duyue suddenly understood that Han Qingmei had thought of what she said before, that she had already died once.

"Mom, don't you think I'm fine now? Don't you think about what happened at that time?" Han Duyue leaned into Han Qingmei's arms and comforted her with a smile.

Han Qingmei hugged Han Duyue's small body very relievedly, and let out a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, mother will not think about those things before. Mother, now I am thinking about how to make our family happy. Have a good time."

When Shi Shi saw this, although he probably believed Han Duyue's words in his heart, he still had some doubts.

"Mrs. Han, Miss Han, even if you really want to grow corn, it's not good to plant corn on the 25 mu of land, right? I think it's good to grow peanuts and soybeans, but we also have a lot of sweet potatoes here." Li Jun rubbed his hands, and opened his mouth after thinking about it.

Han Duyue nodded, she rolled her eyes, and asked again: "Can we use five acres of land to grow corn, five acres of land to grow sweet potatoes, five acres of land to grow peanuts, five acres of land to grow soybeans, and another five acres of land to grow rice?" Sesame seeds?"

"This..." Shitou and the other three looked at each other, somewhat uncertain.

It's not that they haven't planted land before, but it's the first time they've seen someone like Han Duyue want to divide the land into five parts at once.

Han Duyue also felt that it was a bit strange for her to allocate this way, and she thought of what she had said before, and hurriedly said: "What I said just now was wrong, I take it back. Naturally, it is up to you to make decisions about the land of Niang and Xiaonian." Yes, but I still want to grow corn on my ten acres of land. Master Shishi, can you help me grow corn?"

Han Duyue saw that Shitou was still hesitant, so she called people aside and asked, "Master Shitou, tell me, did you plant corn as wheat when you planted corn that time? "

"Miss Han, what does this mean?" Shitou was puzzled.

Han Duyue had probably thought about it before. It stands to reason that since wheat can be grown here, corn should also be grown here.Moreover, planting corn is not much different from planting wheat. If there is a real difference, the only thing Han Duyue can remember is that corn needs a certain amount of space and cannot be planted densely like wheat.

Thinking about it this way, Han Duyue became more certain of his guess: "Master Shitou, planting corn is different from planting wheat. To plant corn, there must be a gap in the middle to leave enough space for the corn to grow. If you plant It’s too crowded, and the roots of the corn are all connected together, so there must not be enough nutrients.”

"Miss Han, do you really know how to grow corn?" Stone looked at Han Duyue with a very surprised look.

Han Duyue nodded affirmatively: "Master Shitou should believe me now, right? Then what do you think about growing corn? Master Shitou, I really like corn."

"I believe Miss Han's words, but this corn is really useless and not edible, Miss Han, why do you insist on planting this?" Shitou believed Han Duyue's words, but he still couldn't agree.

This made Han Duyue very speechless. In his previous life, even if cornmeal was not regarded as a staple food, it had many uses.When the corn is not yet ripe, it can be cooked and eaten, and the taste is greasy and sweet. When the corn is fully mature, it can be made into cornmeal, porridge, stew, or even fried popcorn. eat.

You must know that popcorn is widely loved by everyone, especially when watching a movie, eating popcorn while watching a movie is very pleasant.

Now Han Duyue has no chance to see the movie, but if he can eat popcorn, that would be nice.

"Master Shitou, you have to believe me, I tell you, this corn can be used in many ways, you will know when it is planted," Han Duyue knew that it would be impossible to change Shitou's opinion for a while. , I can only seriously insist on my own opinion, "Master Shitou, you can plant it for me. If you don't want corn by then, I will convert what you deserve into money and give it to you. What do you think? Anyway, I definitely don't It will make you suffer."

"I didn't mean that, I didn't..." Shito waved his hands again and again.

Han Duyue hurriedly chased after the victory: "Then master Shishi promises me? Let's grow corn?"

"This...that's okay..." Shitou is also honest, and he can only be bullied in front of Han Duyue.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Han Duyue immediately smiled, and pulled the stone back to the main room.

"Mother, Xiaonian, have you discussed it?" Han Duyue asked.

Han Qingmei nodded, and before she could speak, Xiaonian took the lead: "Sister, we have already discussed that my ten acres of land will also be planted with corn!"

"Xiao Nian, why do you want to grow corn?" Does Xiao Nian also know the beauty of corn?
Xiao Nian grinned, trotted to Han Duyue's side, held Han Duyue's arm and said with a smile, "I saw that my sister wanted to grow corn, so I wanted to win corn. I think since my sister thinks corn is good, then Corn must be a good thing!"
