Chapter 226: Seeds
Li Yao was staying with Fu Jingheng waiting for the mule cart at this time. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info this place is located at the end of the Changxingtun market. In previous years, there were restrictions on it, but this year there were none, so this year the number of herders coming to the market to exchange things has gradually increased.
Seeing that some herdsmen exchanged milk tofu and milk skins for tea and grain, Li Yao knew that this was a good thing and said that she wanted to change it, but she couldn't get tea and grain for a while.
The mule carts depart every two hours, and there are several mule carts at a time, and they will leave as soon as they are full. If he went back to the restaurant to get tea and grain, he was afraid of missing a trip, so Li Yao said good things for a long time, and then used the silver to buy some milk and skin from the herdsman to eat on the way. As for milk tofu, it seems to be very precious, and the herdsmen are reluctant to exchange money with Li Yao, insisting on exchanging tea and grain.
After changing the milk skin and getting in the car, there was nothing to do on the road, so Li Yao wrapped the milk skin from the back basket with a handkerchief and ate it. She gave it to Fu Jingheng next to her, Fu Jingheng had just eaten a full meal, and she was not used to eating snacks in public so aggressively, so she refused. It's just that outside, he can't preach Li Yao in public, so he had to persuade her helplessly: "A-Yao, don't eat at meals, and then you eat indiscriminately, this is not a good habit." ”
Fu Jingheng has been in charge of her not once or twice, although he meant to be good to her, but Li Yao was not without words in his heart. She's not a child, what is this, how can she be so managed! She pursed her mouth, turned around and looked out of the car, she ate her own milk skin, and ignored Fu Jingheng.
Seeing her like this, Fu Jingheng's heart was blocked, and he was speechless for a while. He's okay this time, he didn't preach with a straight face as before. In the month since they got married, if his little wife did not want to listen to him, she used to ignore him like this.
When they reached the open grass on both sides, the mule cart went very fast, and it also jolted hard. At this time, Li Yao was still sitting with Fu Jingheng on her back.
Seeing her straight back, preferring to hold on to the railing of the car all the time than leaning on his back, Fu Jingheng relented first. He didn't speak, but leaned towards Li Yao's side, so that Li Yao could lean against him, which also saved her from being nervous in the car.
Feeling the shoulders of the people behind him, Li Yao also softened and turned around, sat cross-legged sideways, and leaned on Fu Jingheng's shoulders with the bumps of the car. The people in the cart leaned on the people, this is a helpless thing, if you don't lean on the mule cart, sooner or later you will have to bump and get tired.
"When we arrived at Dongliu Village in a while, we got off the bus and went to Carpenter Wang's house, so that if we delayed a little longer, we would have to wait for the next bus. The county seat is not close, and I feel that it is troublesome to do anything. As long as Fu Jingheng didn't say anything, just looked at her with his eyes like that, Li Yao felt that his first angry actions were a bit too much. There was always an inexplicable innocence in his eyes, as if she had bullied him. So at this time, she broke the deadlock first and opened her mouth.
"Hmm." Fu Jingheng looked at her, responded with a smile, and said: "Now that the Changxingling market is lively, there will be more shops in that place in the future, and everything will be complete, so we don't have to go to the county seat often." With that, he looked down at his hand resting on his lap. His hand was palm-side upward, and he consciously pinched the other finger one by one. It's good for the body.
His fingers are slender and white, his knuckles are distinct, his nails are neatly trimmed and short, and his hands are very beautiful, but the junction between his fingers and his palms is a bit of a white callus. Li Yao looked at his hand more and commented on his hand with his gaze. In fact, her palms are calloused.
At this time, he looked at her and asked, "Do you want to sleep for a while, just lean on my shoulder, and I will call you again when you go to Dongliu Village?" ”
It's nothing, it's better to go to bed quickly. Li Yao said from the good: "Good".
The people in the car were chatting and leaning down against the people next to them to sleep, and the couple was not conspicuous here.
Arrived at the county seat early in the morning, Li Yao first followed Fu Jingheng to the pharmacy, followed him to sell medicine, and then the two went to the grocery store to buy spices.
The owner of the grocery store was very impressed by Li Yao, because every time she came, she would ask him if there were any new seeds here.
Local grain seeds, vegetable seeds, dry goods, etc., are sold in grocery stores. Therefore, after Li Yao bought seasonings such as dried mushrooms and cumin, the owner of the grocery store took a small amount of oiled paper
Pack seeds for her.
The bag of seeds, the grocery store owner asked for a price not cheap, he asked for half a tael of silver. He could see what Li Yao recognized that kind of child, and when he saw that kind of child, the surprise on Li Yao's face and eyes couldn't be hidden.
Last year, I didn't understand the local climate, and many vegetables were frozen to death, so this year, Li Yao in early April, referring to the agricultural proverb that it is never too late to plant anything from the beginning of summer to Xiaoman, under the care of the fat aunt's mother Pu, she opened a vegetable garden in the Fu family and planted beans, green onions, leeks and other vegetables early, cucumbers, eggplants, and she planted seedlings early. She was now curious about where the boss got the pepper seeds.
"Is half a tael of silver expensive?" Seeing the chili seeds was overjoyed, so that the boss could see that he would then ask for a high price for the seeds, and Li Yao now regretted it a little.
After asking, she immediately said, "It seems a little late to plant this kind of seed now." Boss, where did you get this pepper seed from? I've been here in March and early April, so why didn't you take this out sooner, boss? ”
In fact, peppers are planted in a few months, because there is no planting in this era, and there is no experience that can be referred to in agricultural books, so Li Yao does not know when to plant peppers. She said this just so that she would not spend half a tael of silver on seeds. She was willing to buy seeds for half a tael of silver, and she was afraid that she would simply buy them, and the boss felt that she had lost money, and she would still ask for a high price for such seeds in the future.
"It looks like it's a bit of a time to don't rush to farming, but before May, why not give it a try when the little girl plants this seed?" He also wanted to take out this kind of seed at that time, the problem was that his mother-in-law had only recently picked up a monk and came back, so he got this bag of seeds from the monk, but the monk called this thing a pepper, not a pepper. When the monk was rescued, he still had a half-sack of things tied to his body, and I don't know what it was, but the monk took it seriously, and when he woke up, he put it by his side, and didn't let him, the life-saving benefactor, touch it.
Li Yao picked up the chili seeds for a while and said: "The boss can roughly tell how to plant other seeds sold to me, but you don't know how to plant this chili pepper boss, but you let me try to plant them, and you sell them so expensive!" If you sell it cheaper, I'll buy it. And how did the boss get this bag of seeds, why didn't you tell me? Or how did you get the seeds, boss, it's inconvenient for you to say? ”
What is the chili pepper, Li Yao and the owner of the grocery store seem to know, but Fu Jingheng is at a loss, he stands behind Li Yao with confusion, and plans to ask her in detail for a while. In fact, the boss was not familiar with chili peppers, but he only knew a little about it, and everything he knew was from the monk's mouth.
Li Yao asked twice in a row where the chili seeds came from, and the owner of the grocery store thought that it was a good thing for his mother-in-law to save people's lives, and he couldn't wait to publicize it to the whole county, so he didn't hide that his mother-in-law saved a monk, and talked about it. And the pepper seeds came from the monk, and he naturally made it clear in the process of telling.
Li Yao even recognized the chili seeds, and the grocery store owner couldn't help but guess that she was well-informed, and probably knew the sack of things, so she also mentioned it.
After listening to the boss talk about saving people, and asked about the shape and color of the sack, Li Yao's heart was about to jump out of her heart excitedly, although she didn't have the luck of crossing the woman into the mountains to get potatoes and sweet potatoes, but at least God didn't treat her badly, let her meet a monk! But what is the matter with this monk?
"Where is the monk, can I see him? I guess I know that sack stuff too! I can't confirm it until I see the real thing! As soon as Li Yao was excited, she raised her hand and grabbed the middle-aged boss's big hand. If Fu Jingheng hadn't stepped forward and grabbed her hand quietly, she would have grabbed it for a while. This made the middle-aged boss a little embarrassed.
The owner of the grocery store pulled out his hand, wiped his hand twice on his clothes, he hid the embarrassment of being caught by the little girl, and said with a smile and uncomfortably: "If you want to see it, the monk lives in my courtyard, and you can see it...... Oh, save this monk, in order to cure his frostbite, I didn't spend any less money, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you for so much money with such a small packet of seeds, I don't know much about it......"
The owner of the grocery store turned out to be an honest man who couldn't hide his words, and he told everyone the truth. While complaining that his mother-in-law spent a lot of money saving people, he led Li Yao to the back yard. didn't know what Li Yao wanted to do, so Fu Jingheng also followed her.
The monk was not very old, he looked nearly thirty years old, and he looked very similar to the Datai people, all of them had yellow skin and black eyes, and he didn't look like he was from a foreign land. Although he looked pale and thin at this time, his handsome silhouette did not fade because of this. There is also a tear mole in the corner of his right eye, and his demeanor looks very compassionate and peaceful.
For some reason, she was affected by the monk's compassionate bearing, and Li Yao had the urge to cry and pour out the sorrow in her heart. At first, she thought that the monk was from a foreign land, so she could bring pepper seeds and potatoes. She thought it was a potato in the sack.
She asked the monk where he was from, but the monk did not say specifically, only that he came here through the handover of Western Qi and Beiliang, and the purpose was to preach.
Because he was not familiar with it, and because the monk just smiled and didn't say anything about things he didn't want to say, even if he knew that he had a story on him, Li Yao didn't want to ask deeply. So she asked, "Does the master have a Dharma name, do you plan to settle here next?" ”
"The poor monk is blessed, grateful for the life-saving grace of the Lord Du Shi and his wife, and feels that the people here have a compassionate and benevolent heart, and currently have the intention of settling here to preach."
Isn't it because there is no monk temple here that you are willing to stay here to preach? Li Yao couldn't help the conspiracy theory, but seeing this handsome and compassionate face, she still suppressed this thought, only smiled and asked, "I heard that you have a half-sack of rare things here, what is that thing called, can I take a look?"
