The second watch, ask for pink.

***…………****

Shen Qian was holding a round thing in his hand, and the full, neatly arranged golden yellow particles on it exuded a brighter light than gold in Lian Man'er's eyes.

Shen Qian saw that Lian Man'er liked it, and he immediately became happy, and he was not as sullen as Fang Cai.

"Man'er, I knew you liked it. This is corn. Shen Qian handed a corn cob to Lian Man'er.

Even Man'er took the corn cob in her hand, and her excited hands trembled a little. Corn, of course she recognized this as corn. She also knew that this was not only called corn, but also called bud grain and bud rice. In her previous life, it was a very common coarse grain, but after arriving here, it was the first time she had seen it.

"Man'er, the corn is beautiful, Chapter 266 Corn." Shen Qian saw Lian Man'er's eyes staring at the corn in his hand, thinking that it was the first time she had seen this novelty thing, so he explained it to her. "It's a rare thing, the sixth brother said, brought by the curly-haired and green-eyed Fanbang people from far away. …… My aunt gave us some for the family. …… One by one, they are planted in the ground, and they look good when they grow......"

Shen Qian's aunt is the deceased Empress Shen.

Shen Qian said a lot, and even Man'er only listened to a small part.

Corn has been brought in from abroad, but it is rarely grown. Corn growers see it as an ornamental plant. And this corn cob is Shen Qian's toy.

Lian Man'er focused more on the corn cob in his hand. This corn cob is not small, and the kernels are also very full. After peeling it off, it should have the appearance of three or four taels, or even half a catty. How much land can you plant in half a pound of corn?

It would be nice if there was more corn. Compared with sorghum, millet and millet, corn has a higher yield, lower requirements for the field, and is easier to grow. And, she misses the taste of tender corn, tortillas and polenta.

"It's beautiful, this corn is so beautiful." Thinking of this, Lian Man'er raised her head. "Shen Xiao......, well, do you still have this corn? Can Chapter 266 Corn Not Give a Few More Sticks? I'll double it back for you next year, okay? ”

"Man'er. Do you like corn so much? Shen Qian looked at Lian Man'er, "Okay, I'll bring three, and two more, I'll give it to you too." You don't need to pay it back, I still have that at home. ”

Shen Qian took out two more corn cobs from the brocade bag. It's all given to Lian Man'er.

"I'll give you this bag too." In the end, Shen Qian simply gave Lian Man'er the brocade bag and asked her to put the corn in it so that she could easily hold it.

"Little ......" unexpectedly got the corn man, and when he looked at Shen Qian again, he felt that he was almost covered with golden light. Even his fleshy face, as well as his small eyes squeezed by the flesh on his face, are particularly pleasing to the eye. Even handsome. Originally, I wanted to shout Shen Qian to be chubby, but my tongue automatically turned. "Xiao Jiu, you are too much of a friend."

That's the case. It was inconvenient to say it in front of Shen Liu, this was Shen Qian who sent them out and sent the entourage far away, and Lian Man'er said what was in his heart without scruples.

"Of course." Shen Qian saw Lian Man'er like this, and became more and more happy, so he patted his little chest, "Man'er, I still have corn at home." If you want, I'll have someone bring it to you when I get back." ”

"Really?" Lian Man'er grabbed Shen Qian's hand excitedly.

Shen Qian's hands are also fleshy. There are also small fat puddles on the back of the hands. Lian Man'er felt that Shen Qian might be younger than Xiao Qi. But after grabbing Shen Qian's hand, Lian Man'er realized that this little fat man's hand was a little bigger than hers.

"Really." Shen Qian smiled and nodded, and said such an intimate gesture to Lian Man'er. He loved it.

Lian Man'er calmed down from her excitement.

"Xiao Jiu, I want to ask for more corn and plant it in the field at home. However, if it's inconvenient, forget it. That's enough for what you've given me. ”

She planned to plant corn on a large scale, so she wanted to ask Shen Qian for more corn cobs. Listening to what Shen Qian said just now, although he can use the corn cob as a toy, the origin of this corn is a little unusual. Shen Qian seems to be very favored, but after all, he is a child. I don't know what the Shen family will think.

Although he wanted more corn, Lian Man'er didn't want to embarrass Shen Qian, or annoy the elders in the family because of this. She has three corn cobs in her hand, and she will plant them all this year, and then save all the corn she has harvested as seeds, so that she can also plant a large area of corn next year.

It was an extra year, but she still thanked Shen Qian the same.

"There's nothing inconvenient, this matter is on me, you can rest assured." Shen Qian was very confident.

"Well, that's good. Xiao Jiu, if you don't have it, forget it. If you can get more corn, remember to have someone bring it to me sooner. Lian Man'er said. If Shen Qian went back and immediately got the corn and asked someone to bring it to her, it would not delay the spring ploughing at all.

"Well, I remember. Rest assured, Man'er. Shen Qian nodded.

…………

After Lian Man'er left, Shen Liu took Shen Qian and quickly set off back to Fucheng.

In the evening of the same day, in the west wing of the Lian family, Lian Man'er put a small basket of corn kernels on the table, took out two handfuls from it, and put them into two large bowls respectively like they used to germinate hair, beans, cucumbers, etc., poured water, covered with gauze, and put them on the kang head.

The whole family gathered around the table, watching Lian Man'er's movements.

"What kind of corn is this, can you really eat it?" Zhang was the first to ask.

Of course you can eat it, Lian Man'er wanted to say. But she couldn't say that, after all, no one had ever heard of eating corn, and she couldn't say it too sure.

"I think I can eat it." Lian Man'er deliberately hesitated and said, "Even if you can't eat it, if you come out like this, you can sell it for money." …… Shen Xiaojiu said that this is a rare thing, and the corn seed is still given to him by the queen's mother. He also said that the corn looks good when it is grown. …… The queen mother and the Shen family value corn so much, if we grow it, we will definitely be able to sell it for a lot of money. ”

"Man'er is right, this precious thing is planted, it is not worth much." Lian Shouxin thought about it and said.

Zhang also nodded.

Of course, Lian Zhi'er, Gorou and Xiao Qi would not object to Lian Man'er planting corn.

Lian Man'er breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she has another idea in her heart, when they plant corn, let the big guys know the benefits of corn, and promote the way to eat corn, then they can make a lot of money just by selling seeds next year.

And, by promoting corn, she did a good thing at the same time. It not only enriches people's food varieties, but also allows more people to have enough to eat.

How can you not do such a thing that benefits others and yourself?

"Man'er, how do you plant this corn, do you know? Can it be germinated like this? Gorou asked.

"What's not to do, I think to plant corn is similar to planting hair. We can't go wrong with this kind of germination. Lian Man'er said. In her previous life, she loved to eat tender corn. She had seen her grandmother grow corn in her vegetable patch. Young corn is planted earlier than corn in the field, and germination is required in order to harvest earlier. And the corn in the field, before planting, only needs to be soaked a little.

"If it doesn't work like this, don't we have a lot left." Although she was very sure in her heart, Lian Man'er still added.

"Dad, mother, let's open some more land next to the vegetable field, and when this corn sprouts, we will plant it, okay?" Lian Man'er discussed with Lian Shouxin and Zhang.

"Okay, why not. Anyway, the land was empty and empty. Zhang said.

The land I bought has not yet been fully utilized. In addition to the land set aside for later building a house, there are also some that can be used to grow vegetables and crops. They are a family of six with limited energy, and now they have a lot of vegetable plots.

…………

The farmer's family, when the valley rains, began to farm. Now the season has not yet come, Lian Man'er is waiting for the corn to sprout, and at the same time looking forward to Shen Jiu sending more corn.

The kites that Shen Qian exchanged with them were carefully hidden by her. Shen Qian's brocade bag was also put into the cabinet and stored it. Not only because of the preciousness of these two things, but also because of Shen Xiaopang's friendship, which is worth cherishing carefully.

Even if everyone grows up in the future, because of the relationship of status and status, this friendship will dissipate with the wind.

During this time, the family is very busy. Because Shen Liu had been here and ate the steamed buns they had sent, the business of their early shop became even more popular, and the number of people who came to the shop to eat steamed buns soared. Zhang is already considering adding another helper.

The laundry business is also better. Lian Man'er looked at her increasingly heavy private money bag, and couldn't hide the smile on her face. Zhao and Lian Ye'er also saved more private money with her because of this.

In order to prepare for spring ploughing, even Shouxin finished the work in the shop every day, and would drive the ox cart to pull the poured manure and send it to the field. At this time, Lian Shouxin deeply felt the benefits of buying a calf cart.

"If I didn't have this car, I would have been really tired in the past few days. It's okay to say that we're just tired, but we're working hard now. After lunch, Lian Shouxin went to feed the little scalper again, returned to the shop, and said to Zhang with emotion.

"It's not like that, with this cow, it can save us a lot of trouble." Zhang's Road.

"When the time comes to plant, the benefits of this cow will be even greater. This money is worth it. Lian Man'er smiled.

"yes, it's worth it." Lian Shouxin nodded.

While the family was talking, someone knocked on the door of the shop outside.

Lian Shouxin walked over and opened the door.

Zhao Wencai was holding two packets of trough cakes in his hand, standing at the door with a smile on his face, and when he saw Lian Shouxin, the smile lines on his face deepened.

"Fourth brother, you, Brother Zhao, I've come to see you."
