Chapter 25 Seed
The distance in the town is far, close or not, a few people walked and talked, and spent a lot of time.

Yun Yiyi also learned a lot from Mrs. Yan's mouth.

This era is not rich, even the current emperor, it is estimated that the treasury does not have much value.Naturally, these were not what Mrs. Yan said, but Yun Yiyi's own guesses.

Now Mrs. Yan is starting to prepare for the winter. This is because every house is closed when winter comes, and no one does business at all.

Throughout the winter, but for several months, once the people do nothing and stay at home for the winter, the country's economy is bound to regress.If it is an ordinary farmer, even the merchants in the town are like this, how poor the country is.

Yun Yiyi doesn't know what's going on in other places, but she believes that since this is the trend in the town, the situation in other small towns in the Great Zhou Kingdom is similar.As for the counties, and even the capital, there are more wealthy families, she doesn't know what the situation is.

But one day, she will definitely be able to walk out.

If she could open stores in all the towns and sell things in winter, wouldn't she be able to make a lot of money.

Although the country is poor now, what is most lacking is not money, but food. There are even rumors that people are starved to death every year.

Yun Yiyi is not the Holy Mother. If this road works, she can not only solve the food problem, benefit others, but also make money and give the two cubs the best life.Although there is money and food in the backpack, Yun Yiyi knows that it is not enough. What she wants is not just food and clothing.

After more than half an hour, they arrived in the small town.

Sister-in-law Yan said: "Mother and I are going to go and pull some cloth for our clothes. Do you want the third sibling to go together?"

Yun Yiyi shook her head, "No, I'll go shopping first."

Sister Yan nodded, and they planned to separate.

There are indeed more people in the town this time. Today is the market, and this street has the most people. Every step they take, they will touch shoulders.

Mother Yan had some complaints about her tying a rope before, but she didn't say anything. Seeing that the other people were so crowded that they couldn't see anyone, the two cubs were still following Yun Yiyi unharmed. Thoughts.

When Yun Yiyi came here, there were only two streets. This time, she walked around the town, only to find that there were far more than that. Several deserted streets were now full of people, and all kinds of peddlers had put their things out.

In fact, the items sold are also very simple, all kinds of vegetables, rice, chicken, duck, and eggs are available, and the prices are not cheap.

These people basically collect the grain at the farm, and then sell it to the common people at a high price, mainly to earn the difference in the middle price.They don't collect much grain, so they only sell this, and the business is mediocre.But there are also people who are short of food, so buy them.

There are also rural people who are short of money and sell their chickens and ducks.

But few people do this. After all, in their view, pigs, chickens and ducks are their capital, and it is best to keep them for themselves.And a chicken has been raised for several years, the meat is old, it will not lay eggs, and it cannot be sold, so it can only be kept for the family to eat.

Yun Yiyi saw candied haws on sale along the way, so she bought three bunches.

I didn't see anything new, so I found a shop and planned to eat.

They got up early this morning, didn't have breakfast, and were already hungry.

It was the first time for Big Shuang and Little Shuang to eat outside, and they both opened their big eyes curiously.

There were no good shops in the town, so Yun Yiyi picked one that sold wonton noodles.

As the name suggests, it is a mixture of noodles and wontons.

She ordered two bowls of wonton noodles.

The boss who cooked the wontons swiftly counted dozens of wontons and boiled them in boiling water. When they were almost done, he scooped up a handful of noodles and sprinkled them, and then filled them out.

Yun Yiyi asked the boss for another bowl, divided the wontons in the big bowl into two, and then handed it to the two cubs.

Wontons are filled with pure Chinese cabbage and have no meat. After Yun Yiyi ate a few, she found it tasteless, but it was still enough to satisfy her hunger.

This pure natural and pollution-free vegetable always tastes refreshing.

Yan Dashuang ate in a hurry and was burned. Although they could use chopsticks, they were not proficient.After finally picking one up, his tongue was still red, so he groaned in grievance.

Yun Yiyi picked up the wontons and put them in the spoon. With a little strength, the wontons were broken in a flash, and then blew on the wontons, and the wontons became cold.

Yan Da watched eagerly, Yun Yiyi ate the wontons in one bite, and said slowly: "You know how to eat wontons like this?"

Yan Xiaoshuang followed suit, clumsily picking up a piece of wonton.

"Mother, it's not as delicious as your cooking." Yan Dashuang took a bite, his cheeks bulging.

"Okay, don't flatter, eat quickly."

Yan Dashuang let out an oh, nodded his head, and continued to fight against the wontons.

The boss's business is not good, but it's not deserted either. People come to eat intermittently, all of them with their children. After a hard time going to the market, everyone is willing to spend money.

Taking advantage of the boss's gap, Yun Yiyi asked, "Master, do you know where seeds are sold?"

Yun Yiyi came late, and now some people have gone back, and the market is not so lively anymore.

The uncle selling wontons pointed in the direction and said with a smile: "The end of the second street."

His family lives in this town and has been here for decades, so he is not familiar with it.

After Yun Yiyi thanked her, she took the two cubs to buy seeds.

It was too crowded before, Yun Yiyi couldn't see clearly, but now some people have closed their stalls, and people have dispersed, and no one is guarding the stalls, so you can see the end at a glance.

There are very few people who buy seeds now, and they usually start planting in March and April.

But there were people selling seeds on the second street, and she didn't seem to sell much. Seeing that there were fewer people, she prepared to close the stall without rushing or rushing.This is true. After all, the things she sells are necessities, and they will be sold sooner or later.

Yun Yiyi hurriedly called her to stop, "Auntie, what kind of seeds do you have?"

Seeing a customer coming, the aunt stopped closing the stall and introduced, "This is cabbage, bitter gourd, ginger and tomato."

There are not many kinds of vegetables. Yun Yiyi doesn't like bitter gourd, so naturally she doesn't want to grow it.

She took a look, picked up a strange plant and asked, "What is this?"

There are very few people who don't know vegetable seeds these days, but looking at Yun Yiyi's dress, she doesn't look like an ordinary farmer.

The aunt was also honest and did not intend to deceive her, "This is wild rice, but girl, I advise you not to plant this, it is difficult to feed."

She sells vegetable seeds here, so she has some connections in the county town.

Every year, the Great Zhou State asked the court to sow some vegetables and sell them to the common people at a low price.

But it's not time to distribute the vegetable seeds in the Great Zhou Kingdom. These are the leftover vegetable seeds. Except for the hard-to-raise wild rice stems, the other vegetable seeds are not bad.

In fact, apart from these, she also has some vegetable seeds, which were brought from neighboring countries. The current emperor once said that anyone who can grow these seeds will be rewarded with 500 taels. 500 taels, that's a lot of money, enough for an ordinary person's lifetime expenses, but it's a pity that everyone has received vegetable seeds, but they can't support them.

Some people don't believe in evil, and try new methods, but even buds don't come out.

In this way, they gave up, after all, they still needed to grow some edible food in the field.

Yun Yiyi felt strange, it was hard to feed wild rice stems?

She remembered that wild rice stems were very easy to grow, with extremely high yields, and were very popular. Why was it so difficult to grow them in ancient times?

Pointing to the wild rice seeds, she said, "I want all of these."

The aunt persuaded: "Miss, you should think about it clearly. We also planted water bamboo in the early years, but it took up space, affected the harvest of other vegetables, and it was easy to produce empty ears, so everyone gave up."

She indeed has the most Zizania seeds left here.

Yun Yiyi asked: "You plant the wild rice stems in the ground."

The aunt gave her a strange look, "Of course it was planted in the ground."

If you have a little common sense, you should know that wild rice is easy to grow, but it cannot be separated from water, and it is usually planted in paddy fields.

Instead of arguing with her aunt, she picked tomatoes, cabbage, and eggplants and bought them for her.

"Girl, do you want to try planting?" the aunt asked suddenly.

She doesn't look like a rural person, she behaves elegantly, and talks politely. The most important thing is that she doesn't pick vegetable seeds, except for bitter gourd, she directly buys all her vegetable seeds.This shows that she is not short of money.

Bitter gourd is cheap, and rich families don't like to eat it, but some people from poor families will just make do with it.

In this era where sugar is valued, bitterness is naturally not a good taste.

So the aunt guessed that she wanted to grow rare vegetables and get rewards from the court.

Yun Yiyi didn't know what the aunt was thinking, so she nodded, "I haven't grown these vegetables before, so I plan to give it a try."

The aunt said enthusiastically: "I still have some rare seeds here, do you want them?"

Yun Yiyi nodded, "Yes."

She originally wanted to build a vegetable garden by herself, and grow a little of all kinds of vegetables and fruits.

However, there are too few types of vegetables here to satisfy her at all, and the things in the backpack are not complete, and sooner or later they will be eaten up.Now that she heard that there were other seeds, she naturally agreed.

My aunt’s home is in the town, and she arrived in a few minutes. She fiddled with the house for a while, and this time she took out twice as many seeds as before. Whoever can grow it, let him name it."

Yun Yiyi wondered: "Has no one been able to grow it?"

The aunt shook her head, "I haven't had it all these years, and then everyone gave up." She rubbed her hands, "These seeds can be considered cheaper for you."

These seeds were brought by the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple from other countries. However, there are several examples that have not been successfully cultivated in other countries, and they have always failed in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

At the beginning, the court distributed these seeds for free and encouraged the common people to plant them.But they are middlemen, and if they get more seeds like this, they must charge money.

At that time, because the rewards were too generous, many people would spend money to buy these exotic seeds, but in recent years, no one is willing to buy them.

She also piled up a lot here.

Yun Yiyi said: "Money is not a problem, I'll give you the market price."
