Ruoxi hurriedly grabbed his hand, and said with a flattering expression: "I was wrong, don't be angry, Xuan!"

Yixuan was numb all over from her "Xuan", looked at her and whispered viciously: "It's not sincere to just apologize with your mouth, I'll let you kiss me!" After saying that, he handed his face over.

"This is in the carriage, you are so cheeky!" Ruoxi lowered her voice, fearing that the driver outside would overhear her.

Yixuan guessed that she didn't dare to make a big noise, so he hugged her and got up, and said a lot of love words in her ear, and his hands were not honest.Ruoxi really didn't dare to make a sound, she just blushed and pushed him gently, not letting him go too far.

The carriage gradually slowed down, Yixuan let go of his hands reluctantly, straightened Ruoxi's clothes and sat upright.

"Second Master, Second Mistress, the farm is here." The carriage stopped and the driver said.

With a soft snort, he opened the curtain of the car and jumped down, then reached out to help Ruoxi down, turned his head and saw the indifference on the faces of everyone on the Zhuangzi.

The steward of the farm is Chai Baoqi, an old man in his mid-fifties. His wife, son, and daughter-in-law all help out on the farm.Because the farm is not big, there are two servants and a few long-term workers.

Yixuan had already sent someone to pass on the message in advance, they knew that Ruoxi was going to come and wait at the door.

"I've seen the second master and the second grandma." Old man Chai took the lead to greet the two.

Yixuan didn't say a word, this is Ruoxi's farm after all, he doesn't want to interfere, this trip here is just pure companionship.Ruoxi let everyone stay flat, and followed Old Chai into the house.

Old Chai called his daughter-in-law to come in to wait on him, and the others all left to perform their duties.Ruoxi saw the honesty on this old man Chai's face, but it was not far from what Wang Wu said.His daughter-in-law also has a simple face, and at first glance she is a kind-hearted and kind-hearted person.But the more kind people are, the more they will be bullied. Otherwise, with old man Chai's ability to manage the field, why would he manage such a small farm?It is also the smallest and the least profitable one in Hanfu Grange.

"I heard that the second master and the second grandma are coming. I sorted out all the harvest books of the past few years, and asked the second grandma to look at them." Old man Chai brought over a few books of accounts.

Ruoxi flipped through it a few times, and remembered the accounts clearly.The farm has a total of sixteen mu of land, and there are six cows and ten sheep. After all, there is not much harvest, and the accounts are even more simple and clear.In previous years, common food crops such as sorghum and soybeans were planted, because the sandy land had low yields.

"Didn't Uncle Chai ever think about growing some other food?" Ruoxi put down the account book and asked.

Hearing what she called him, old man Chai stood up in panic and replied, "Don't dare to let grandma call me like that, just call me Chai Da."

"Well, I want to come to Chai Bo to grow at home." Ruoxi said with a smile, but ignored the old man Chai's words, and continued to bite each Chai Bo, "Actually, sandy land can also grow peanuts, hasn't Chai Bo tried it?"

Seeing old man Chai's helpless expression, Yixuan shook his head inwardly, his Xi'er is difficult to deal with, it's better to follow her heart and follow her wishes as soon as possible.Right now, this old man Chai didn't understand this reason when he met Ruoxi for the first time, but he will know it in the future.

"Back to grandma, the farm planted peanuts the year before last. Although the yield has increased, the price is lower than that of sorghum and corn. After all, people buy grain first when they have money, and peanuts can only be used as vegetables," Chai Bo replied. .

Ruoxi nodded when she heard the words, and said: "I came here this time for this purpose, here, Uncle Chai, let's see what this is? Do you recognize it?" After saying that, he ordered the man to bring over half a bag of sesame seeds.

Chai Bo is worthy of being an experienced crop grower, and he can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary grain seeds.He picked up a handful and took a closer look, put it near his nose and smelled it, and finally said: "I don't think these are crop seeds, but flower seeds!"

"Uncle Chai is really amazing!" Ruoxi laughed upon hearing this, "This is the seed of sesame flower, I plan to plant it in a large area on the farm. Do you think it can be planted well?"

"It's not a problem to grow sesame flowers. At worst, just send someone to the place where sesame flowers are grown to learn. But..." Chai Bo hesitated for a while, and said: "I have seen this sesame flower before. It blooms very beautifully, but it can't be regarded as a flower. Grain is sold, and secondly, it can’t be eaten as a vegetable, so I don’t know what grandma grows it for?” He spent half his life with the land, and when he thought of planting worthless flowers on good land, he couldn’t help feeling distressed and had to bring it up.

Originally, the Han family gave this farm to Ruoxi as a dowry, so he wondered in his heart, how could a girl's family know how to farm the land, it would be better if she didn't intervene.Ruoxi has been married for more than a month and has not moved, so he is relieved, and is planning to get someone to prepare seeds, doing what he should do every year.I didn't expect this grandma to come, and what a mess, if he didn't reveal the serious relationship, what would happen?There is no harvest for these ten mu of land. Don't the ten people want to drink the northwest wind?
After hearing what he said, Ruoxi smiled and said: "Apart from the needs of the farm, most of the rest of the land will be sold for silver. No matter what you plant, you can always sell it for a good price! The surrounding areas of the capital There is not much sandy land, and there are very few farms suitable for growing sesame seeds. If we succeed in planting sesame seeds, this "less" one will be able to take advantage of it, and we will not be able to sell it at a good price?"

"But someone has to buy it! If you can't eat or drink, what's the use of looking good?" Although Chai Bo is honest, he has a straight temper and can't keep his words in his heart.

"Who says no one will buy it?" Ruoxi laughed, "Chai Bo just plant it with confidence, as long as you plant it, I will keep the seeds and someone will buy as much as you can! And this sesame is not only edible but also drinkable, it's very useful." Said Let me explain the uses of this sesame seed one by one.Since you want to use others to work, you must at least make them understand and feel at ease.

Uncle Chai was startled when he heard that, and he was a little relieved when he heard that the Lin family would purchase the sesame seeds produced.It turns out that there is the support of the second master, no wonder the second grandma is so confident, the loss and profit are all the account of the husband and wife!But can a small sesame seed really squeeze out the oil?It can also be used as sesame paste, used as medicine, as a dish, and so on.It's all right for grandma to mess around, and the cold-faced second master next to him is also talking nonsense.He has rolled in the fields half his life, but he has never heard of such a thing.But the land belongs to others, and someone will compensate for the money lost, so what can he say for a laborer?
"I'll try my best, but I don't know if I can do it well." Chai Bo had no choice but to say so.

Ruoxi knew that it was impossible for him to accept it readily, after all, leaving good land without planting crops and flowers in his eyes, would be a waste of money.Yixuan will promote the sesame oil when there is a harvest in autumn and sell it for silver. It is estimated that Chai Bo will not be like driving ducks to the shelves now.

From the beginning to the end, Lin Yixuan sat aside without saying a word, his eyes only had some warmth when they passed Ruoxi.When Uncle Chai and his wife saw him, they were extremely reserved and couldn't speak freely.
