Sweet potato is a very good plant to grow, cut the vine and insert it into the ground, it can survive, and the survival amount is amazing, basically no need to replant.

Field management is not too troublesome, because the sweet potato vines are lush and have strong covering power, so there are generally not too many weeds in the sweet potato field, and you only need to turn the vine over every other month to prevent its aerial roots from burrowing into the ground.

Because sweet potato is a very high-yield crop, that is, those aerial roots burrow into the ground, can also grow some small sweet potatoes, such small sweet potatoes do not grow big, will compete for nutrients, affect the results of the taproot, and after maturity, it will also bring a lot of trouble to the harvest, so it is necessary to turn over its vines regularly to prevent this from happening.

Lin Ruan had participated in this kind of labor several times in his previous life, so he still had some experience.

After the first round of sweet potato seedlings were planted, Lin Ruan used his ability to check the woods around the house and behind him to make sure that there were no abnormalities, which allowed the seed potato to grow a second seedling.

Because of the matter in the Dark Pavilion, Lin Ruan has now become very careful in using his abilities, for fear that he will be exposed if he is not careful.

In the blink of an eye, the seed potatoes that had just been cut bald grew dense seedlings.

After a while, the small vegetable patch was planted.

The bulbs could continue to grow seedlings, so Lin Ruan planted them on the edge of the vegetable patch.

It had only rained two days ago, and the water in the field was very sufficient, so Lin Ruan didn't water it again, and he didn't use his ability to make the sweet potatoes survive immediately.

She wants to try to get them to adapt to the soil on their own, so that they can be easily promoted later.

After finishing this, Lin Ruan stood up and went to the front yard to wash his hands.

As soon as I washed my hands, there was a knock on the gate of the courtyard, and Zhou Lian'er's voice came in from outside: "Ah Ruan, are you at home?" ”

Lin Ruan opened the door and saw Zhou Lian'er standing outside the door carrying a blue loquat.

"Sister Lian'er, come in."

Sideways to let people into the courtyard, Lin Ruan casually closed the courtyard door.

Zhou Lian'er was a little cramped, and handed the basket to Lin Ruan: "The loquat in my yard is ripe, I picked a little for you to bring it, you can try it." ”

Lin Ruan took it with a smile, pulled Zhou Lian'er to sit down on a chair under the eaves, and went into the stove room to make a pot of flower tea.

poured a cup for each of them, and Lin Ruan peeled a loquat for himself first.

This kind of loquat is not big, only the size of a thumb, with more nuclei and less meat, but it tastes good, sweet and sour, and Lin Ruan also likes it very much.

After a few loquat trees in his stomach, Lin Ruan decided to use his ability to improve some loquat trees on Shenwu Mountain, and then send a batch to Mrs. He this month.

She signed an agreement with Mrs. He to send fruits, and from next month, she will officially start to deliver fruits. The previous strawberries were originally not in the agreement, but Lin Ruan discussed with Mrs. He to get a batch in order to build momentum for Xunwei Ji at that time, and the effect was very good, and the whole city was crazy about it.

For three months, the most popular fruit in the city was strawberries, and the heat did not subside at all.

Lin Ruan also made a lot of money because of this.

Mrs. He is a person who knows how to market hunger, and she fried strawberries to twenty taels of silver a catty, such a high price, and there are many people rushing to buy them, which makes Lin Ruan, a modern person, dumbfounded.

In terms of business, she actually doesn't know much, and compared to Mrs. He, it is nothing but a small thing.

If Mrs. He's skills and scheming were born in modern times, I am afraid that she would be able to create a business kingdom.

Lin Ruan shook off these and turned his head to look at Zhou Lian'er: "Sister Lian'er, why don't you eat it?" ”

Zhou Lian'er's fingers kept wringing the handkerchief in her hand, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped, and after hesitating for a while, she tentatively spoke: "Ah Ruan, you have been ...... lately." Did you see ...... Have you seen that childe? ”

When Lin Ruan heard her ask about this, the peeling hand paused, and then peeled the loquat and handed it to Zhou Lian'er.

Zhou Lian'er's cheeks were slightly red, she reached out to take the loquat and put it in her mouth, the sweet and sour taste filled her entire mouth, but she only looked at Lin Ruan nervously as if she couldn't taste it at all.

Lin Ruan sighed: "Sister Lian'er, I haven't seen Xiao Ye, but I asked his subordinates about some of his things. ”

She lied, because she didn't want to give Zhou Lian'er any more hope, because there was no hope in itself, so it was better to let her die early.

Zhou Lian'er's hand suddenly clenched the handkerchief, and she looked at Lin Ruan with a good look: "Did you inquire about anything?" ”

"Sister Lian'er, you still have to give up, that's not someone we can climb, even if it's a girl, it's not qualified. If his identity is only a big official, I can still think of a way for you. But his status is higher than that of a big official, in other words, his wife, and even his concubine, may be arranged by the emperor and the queen mother. ”

Zhou Lian'er's face suddenly turned pale, and tears rolled down, but she tried hard to pull out a smile: "Ah Ruan, thank you, I understand." ”

With that, Zhou Lian'er got up and stumbled out of the yard.

Lin Ruan looked at her like that, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She understood that Zhou Lian'er didn't have any intention of flying on the branches, this was just love at first sight for a girl to an excellent man.

It's just that this relationship is destined to have no results.

Lin Ruan was worried that something would happen to Zhou Lian'er in this state, so he quickly got up and chased her out.

Zhou Lian'er ran back to Zhou's house crying, and as soon as she entered the door, she collided with Aunt Zhou, and when Aunt Zhou saw her crying like that, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Lian'er didn't know how to answer, so she just kept crying.

Lin Ruan, who caught up, hurriedly relieved the siege and said, "Auntie, I just joked with Sister Lian'er and made her cry." I want to apologize to her, who knew she ran so fast. Auntie, I'm sorry, I shouldn't be angry with Sister Lian'er. ”

In this era, if an unmarried girl's family knows that she likes someone, it is not a good thing to spread it, so Lin Ruan took the initiative to cover for Zhou Lian'er.

Aunt Zhou has always trusted Lin Ruan, and when she heard her say this, she gave Zhou Lian'er a blank look: "Look at your little bit of interest, you can take it seriously if you make a joke." ”

Zhou Lian'er only cried vigorously.

Lin Ruan smiled: "Auntie, don't blame Sister Lian'er, I'm ignorant." If you have something to do, hurry up and get busy, I'll coax Sister Lian'er, I'll solve the trouble myself. ”

Aunt Zhou looked at the girl whose eyes were swollen from crying, and said angrily: "Ah Ruan, don't pay attention to her, this girl is getting smaller and smaller these days." We can still let her point at home, and go out later, in the in-law's house, who will get used to her stinky problem. ”

As soon as she mentioned this, Zhou Lian'er felt even more uncomfortable, turned her head and ran into her room crying.

Aunt Zhou wanted to say a few more words to her, but was stopped by Lin Ruan: "Okay, auntie, leave it to me here, you can go with your business." ”

"Nacheng, I'll go to the workshop to help, Ah Ruan, don't get too used to her, she is a year or two older than you, how can there be a reason for a sister to coax her sister."

Lin Ruan responded with a smile, turned around and walked towards Zhou Lian'er's room.

Zhou Lian'er felt uncomfortable, and as soon as she entered the house, she lay on the bed and cried desperately, but her face was buried in the quilt, and she didn't make much noise.
