Lady Caisang: My husband is a little sweet

Chapter 89
Father Yan and Father Liu first looked for a seed store, which indeed had more varieties than Sanhua County, but they were all common in the local area, which was not unusual, but compared to the price, it was a couple of dollars more expensive However, the two of them were reluctant to calculate carefully.

After visiting two seed stores in a row, Father Yan and Father Liu were a little disappointed that they couldn't find the ideal seeds.In the end, they could only go to the grain store to try their luck. First of all, of course, it was the Changyuan grain store with the most complete range of goods among the local population.

Before I got to the door, I saw a lot of bamboo baskets at the door of this grain store. Inside were sweet potatoes that had been stuffed for a whole winter. , this time has already germinated, and it cannot be eaten at all.

Gu Qingya didn't follow in, but looked at the door, and was surprised to find that the sweet potato had other colors, and it turned out to be purple.Only red and white are planted here, which is really rare. She thinks that when she leaves, she can buy a few and go back to raise seedlings.

This grain store is really big, four to five times the size of an ordinary store, not including the warehouse behind, and there are several varieties of each grain on this side, and there are many local and non-real estate ones in the north. When the price is asked, it is called a sour.

"Do you have an idea?" Yan's father turned his head and asked in a low voice. It's not uncommon for people like them to go to the grain store to buy some rare crops, but they obviously have more plans than them.

"In normal times, there are many choices, but we can choose according to our guess, but it is not suitable, and I also have a headache." Father Liu shook his head. If the multi-tenant land this year does not get the expected income, then the eldest son The marriage will be postponed for two or three years.

Gu Qingya dragged Liu Bingbing to the place where beans were specially placed. There were quite a lot of soybeans, white beans, and red beans, not to mention mung beans, which were divided into two types.

"Bingbing, have you ever had mung bean soup?" Gu Qingya asked in a low voice, her little aunt Yan Shuang'er brought some of this thing before, and Gu made it rotten in a casserole, put white sugar in it, and simmered it with well water , The taste is still greedy when I think of it, but unfortunately I only ate it once.

Liu Bingbing shook her head, "I haven't tried it, it's very expensive for a catty." She's heard of this stuff before, it's a good food for dispelling heat, and it's delicious.

"Let's buy it back and plant it." Gu Qingya whispered.

"Ah? We can grow this? I haven't heard of it." Liu Bingbing was very surprised, but Gu Qingya never talked nonsense. She thought about it and pulled Father Liu's clothes, "Father, Qingya said we can consider it." Grow mung beans."

After hearing what his daughter said, Father Liu subconsciously wanted to refute, "How can Mung Bean..." After a pause, he thought of the key point, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he turned to look at Father Yan, "Da Mu, look, this Is it possible?"

Yan's father was stunned for a moment before he realized it, his face was very pleasantly surprised, "If our prediction is correct, this can be planted, but just in case, we will grow more peanuts and soybeans."

"Alright then, calculate how much mung beans you need, and I'll ask the price." Liu's father nodded, and Yan's father was better at calculating this than him.

Seeing that the two adults listened to it, Gu Qingya breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at other things with Liu Bingbing. She carefully thought about what she saw in the library last night, especially the thing called corn and potatoes , but unfortunately, it was not found. Could it be that it is foreign like the sweet potato, and has not been discovered and brought back?
After a while, Liu's father came over, his face was not very good-looking, "Mung beans are more expensive than expected, the general price is 48 yuan per catty, and the good ones are [-] yuan, which is more expensive than meat."

Hearing the price, Gu Qingya couldn't help being dumbfounded, this thing is so expensive, no wonder no one can afford it, but this also shows that if they grow it, even if the price is lowered, they will definitely make a fortune .

"Then shall we still buy it?" Liu Bingbing said in a low voice, feeling uncomfortable here, has not bought it all the time, and has been watching them for a long time.

Father Yan and Father Liu discussed for a while, and decided to buy it, but Father Liu didn't bring enough money, so they asked Father Yan to borrow it. They roughly calculated that they would buy two catties of mung beans per mu of land, and plant peanuts in between, so as not to lose all money at that time. return.

But Liu's father made up his mind and decided to plant five acres of land. After thinking about it for a while, Yan's father also planned to plant three points. The amount of species is included.

Liu Bingbing stared at the burlap bag, a little absent-minded. The ten catties spent more than half of the family's money. Fortunately, grandparents' medicine money has been set aside, otherwise it would be a headache.

After solving the most important thing, the two pairs of father and daughter started to stroll slowly, not necessarily shopping, but looking at the difference between Tianxiang County and Sanhua County, there was something to talk about when they went back, it was always a good idea.

Gu Qingya still firmly remembered Gu Shi's order, she found a similar cloth shop and went in. Gu Qingya had fine cotton cloth and kapok cloth. Fine cotton cloth is more comfortable, but kapok cloth can also be considered for making clothes, which is more comfortable than burlap.

In addition to what Gu Shi asked for, Gu Qingya also asked for a little more, and was going to make some obscene pants for herself and Qingcha Qinghe, after all, they should be worn next to the body, so they should be changed and washed frequently.

Liu Bingbing didn't understand the difference, so Gu Qingya told her carefully, "This kapok cloth is definitely not expensive, it is softer than coarse linen and not as cool as fine linen, but it is completely different from silk cotton. Distinguish carefully."

"It seems that no one grows this kapok here. We can plant it in the future. It is also good to practice weaving." Liu Bingbing thought for a while. Not many people know about kapok, and it only came from the north in the past few years. Yes, here is still mainly planting mulberry.

"That's a good idea." After all, the price of buying silkworm cocoons is really high. Plant some kapok in the ground, harvest it and use it to practice hands. The cloth is also practical, so it's a good deal. "We'll see later, if there are seeds, we can Ask for a little."

Liu's father and Yan's father listened to the two little girls' conversation, they couldn't help but smile at each other, and they didn't reject the idea. For a family like theirs, they would try their best to make anything that could be self-produced without spending money. , the harvest is worth the hard work.

In the end, Liu Bingbing bought half a catty of candied fruit. The color was very average, and she said that it would be given to Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu, and other people could taste one or two, which satisfied her idea.

Seeing this, Gu Qingya also picked out a few items and wrapped them separately. As for the candied haws that Yan Qingcha was thinking about, she didn't buy them, because they were out of season and no one was selling them.

It was worthwhile to buy mung beans this trip, and the four of them also had a general understanding of Tianxiang County, and they will have experience when they come next time.
