Chapter 41
Luo Jinxing smiled apologetically, skipped this topic, looked at the rice fields in front of him, and said, "Girl, it is said that the climate in our Northern Liao is not suitable for growing rice. You have planted so much, can it mature before the frost? "

Speaking of rice, Xiang Lai became interested again, poked the shovel on the edge of the field stalk, knelt down and patted the slightly curved ears of rice with his fingers, and said: "I can see that you are a person who doesn't know how to farm. Just now you I have also pinched the rice grains, and now it has reached the wax ripening period, and the rice grains are starting to harden, as long as there is no frost for another 20 days, my piece of rice can be guaranteed to be fully ripe!"

"20 days..." Luo Jinxing nodded while meditating: "Before Mid-Autumn Festival, well, it's almost the same, but what is wax ripening and perfect ripening?"

Xianglai was stunned for a moment, knowing that she had slipped the tongue accidentally again, so she had to perfunctoryly say: "Well, I said it casually, whether it is hard or not like wax, it is called wax ripening, of course it is fully mature when it is fully ripe."

Luo Jinxing stretched out his hand to pinch the rice grains again, wondering: "Could it be that I, Beiliao, can really grow rice?"

Seeing that Luo Jinxing still didn't believe it, Xianglai said, "Originally it was not possible, but I abandoned the live broadcasting method in the south and raised seedlings in a warm shed in advance, and then transplanted them out when the climate is suitable for rice growth. It shortens its growth cycle and can mature before the frost period.”

Luo Jinxing nodded after hearing this, and said, "It's really a smart way, but what is the quality of the rice grown in this way?"

Xianglai said with a smile: "The soil and water in the north are good, the temperature changes greatly, and the taste of the crops grown is better than that in the south! If you don't believe me, you can come back in a few days. You look like a rich man, and you are not short of that little money." , Buy some rice and go back and taste it, you will know!"

As she spoke, she was thinking: I want you to pull my straw and make your old servant go crazy, this time you have to spend some money!
Hearing what she said, Luo Jinxing stood up suddenly, patted the ashes on his hands and said, "I won't come back in a few days, and I won't buy some rice..."

Seeing this, Xianglai stood up in surprise, and thought: This sick young man really changes as soon as he says he wants to, and he said it well a moment ago, but when he mentioned money, he immediately changed his face!This appearance of taking money for life is comparable to that of my eldest aunt, Mrs. Zhang!
But when she heard the second half of Luo Jinxing's words, she turned from surprise to joy.

Luo Jinxing said: "I don't know how to buy some rice, I want to buy all your rice. Since I can produce rice in the Northern Liao, why bother to eat the rice that was secretly transported from the Southern Liao!"

Chen Xianglai didn't expect to sell all the rice in the whole field by saying a few words casually. She asked in surprise, "You...are you telling the truth? Do you know how much the rice costs?"

Luo Jinxing didn't speak, and An Guang said contemptuously from behind: "Your little rice is nothing in the eyes of... hiss, young master. It's flattering you to open your mouth and tell you to buy it!"

Xianglai also looked down on this old servant with eccentricity from the bottom of his heart, and gave him a sideways look with contempt, and said, "Hmph, you want to buy it, but I don't want to buy it yet. You are so rich!"

Seeing the dispute between the two, Luo Jinxing turned his head and gave An Guang a hard look, then turned around and said, "Girl, don't be as knowledgeable as him, I'm buying your rice with all my heart."

In fact, Chen Xianglai didn't mean to be angry with An Guang when she said this, because she definitely couldn't buy all of her rice. She thought that she could sell the rice for tomorrow's farming money, and keep the rest as rice seeds, only planting these three. Mutian is far from her lofty goal.So I was happy before, and then immediately realized that it was not good, and I planned to find a sale after I refused.

But seeing Luo Jinxing's earnest expression, she was embarrassed to coax people away like this, so she had to say truthfully: "Actually, I don't plan to sell all of my rice. I want to grow more next year. If I have enough money, the three mu It is not too much to keep all the rice in the field for seeds.”

Luo Jinxing thought for a while when he heard the words, and said: "Why don't you do this? If next year's crop doesn't work, I'll set your plan for the next year's crop. You can keep as many seeds as you want for the rice in the three-acre field. Come to me if you don’t have enough, you can use as much as you want!”

Chen Xianglai was even more surprised, there was such a good thing, could it be a trap?
Thinking of this, she quickly waved her hand and said: "No, no, I appreciate your kindness, but I am a person who likes to do what I can, and I can do what I can, and there is no need to force what I can't."

Luo Jinxing said with a smile: "Then you want to sell some of the rice?"

Xiang Lai nodded and said, "Yes."

Luo Jinxing said: "Then it's settled like this. You can buy me the rest except the rice reserved for seeds. I will give it to you at a price that is [-]% higher than the market price."

Chen Xianglai couldn't figure out why this sick young man had to buy his own rice, but the price was too high, because the price of rice on the market was the price of Hengwang Rice Store, and the rice from Maosheng Grocery Store did not know why. Not sold in the market aboveboard.

Since people sincerely want to buy me, there is no reason not to sell them, but they can't ask for such a high price against their conscience, so they said: "Well, well, I will sell it to you, but the price you gave is too high, and I will go with you when the time comes." Just follow the trend, no need to pay [-]% more.”

At first, Luo Jinxing only regarded Xianglai as an ordinary girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, with the intention of coaxing her to play, but he didn't expect that this little girl was quite prudent in her work, even if she didn't want to be greedy for others, she would suffer for herself, so she even He liked Xianglai a little more, and said: "Okay, then after the autumn harvest, you can transport the rice to the Longsheng Bank in Songning City, and they will send it to me."

Xianglai Xindao used to run a bank, no wonder he spoke so loudly.

She thought and asked: "But there is not only one Longsheng Bank, right? Which one should I send to?"

Luo Jinxing said: "Any one will do, I will explain it..."

As he spoke, a gust of cold wind blew by, and he covered his mouth to cough.

An Guang looked at the sky, and said: "Hey, it's cloudy after all, it seems to be raining, young master, let's go back soon!"

Luo Jinxing nodded, and said to Xianglai: "It's agreed, you must sell your rice to me, no matter how the price changes, I will take it, and you are not allowed to sell it to others!"

Xianglai suddenly felt that the sick man was quite cute, and replied: "Well, I will definitely give it to you, and I will not sell other people's neck with a knife!"

Only then did Luo Jinxing walk out of the village with An Guang and Xu Lin in peace, but raindrops fell after walking a few steps.

Xu Lin said in a low voice: "No way, son, we can't go back. The wind is blowing on the river. It's windy and rainy. It's too dangerous to row a boat!"

Hearing the words, Luo Jinxing stopped and looked up at the sky, hesitantly said: "How about... we stay here for now?"
