After lunch, it was estimated that Uncle Xu should be at home, Bai Qianning washed a bowl of grass and berries for Xiaodouding and Grandma Zhao to taste, and then went to Xu's house alone with the basket.

As soon as I walked to the front of the courtyard, I saw Uncle Xu and the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family sitting on the eaves chatting, while Aunt Xu was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the back room.

Xu Xiuzhu was standing in the center dancing with her hands in the middle of the painting, as if she was demonstrating something, which made several other people laugh and lean back together.

"What about chatting? It just so happens that I have brought you some fruit, and I will treat it as a snack. ”

Bai Qianning walked over to them, handed the basket in his hand to Xu Xiuzhu and asked.

At the same time, Shi Shi had already taken a stool from the corner of the wall and handed it to Bai Qianning, Bai Qianning was not polite, took the small bench and sat next to Uncle Xu. The focus on the fun and family talk is that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, since you have encountered it, there is no reason not to listen.

And Xu Xiuzhu took the basket handed by Bai Qianning, and after a closer look, she found that the people lying inside were all small fruits that she had never seen before.

"Sister Qian, what is this? It's weirdly good-looking. ”

Xu Xiuzhu picked up a straw and berry and looked at the sun, and asked with a smile.

And Uncle Xu and the others also hurried closer to look in the basket, they saw few rare objects, but they had always heard of some, but the red fruit in front of them was covered with small sesame seeds, they had never heard of it.

Bai Qianning saw that they were curious, so he picked one up from the basket casually and introduced: "This fruit is called grass and berries, sweet and sour, and the taste and nutrition are not to be said, and the most important thing is that this fruit is planted in the ground, and it can be ripe and picked in just one day. ”

"Can it mature in one day? Is there such a miraculous fruit in this world? ”

Xu Xiuzhu couldn't believe it anymore, and the rest of the people were also interested, and their eyes widened, if this can be planted in one day, won't it be impossible to eat it endlessly? .

"That's right, as long as one day, I didn't believe it when the foreign merchant said it, but I bought it because it wasn't expensive, and there were other seeds, saying that they could grow in just one day, and I planted these grass and berries yesterday, and I saw a lot of them growing in the back yard early this morning."

Bai Qianning pretended to be at a loss, pointing all the unreasonable reasons to a foreign businessman who didn't exist at all, which was the best way to solve the doubt, and pulling other guises would only make the mouth of the lie bigger and bigger.

Hearing this, Xu Xiuzhu hurriedly shouted to her home behind her: "Mother, mother, come and see, Sister Qian has sent us grass and berries, and these grass and berries can be ripe in one day." ”

"What? What does this kid say? Yelling. ”

Aunt Xu didn't really hear it, so she pulled the apron on her body, wiped the water marks on her hands, and walked out while wiping.

When she saw the grass and berries handed over by Xu Xiuzhu, her eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Yo! What's this? It's red, and it's weirdly good-looking. ”

"Puff ......" Bai Qianning couldn't help laughing, and only said: "Auntie, you and Xiuzhu are worthy of being mother and daughter, and they both speak the same thing." These things are called straw and berries, and they are fruits like apples and watermelons. In my opinion, don't explain it here, wash it down first and eat it. ”

"I'll come, I'll come."

Xu Xiuzhu volunteered.

"Okay, then you go wash it!"

Bai Qianning nodded, threw the one in his hand back into the basket, and couldn't help but remind: "Don't wash it all, this thing is easy to spoil after soaking in water, wash as much as you eat." ”

"Okay, I got it."

After Xu Xiuzhu finished speaking, she ran to the well with a basket as soon as she slipped away.

Taking advantage of Xu Xiuzhu's time to wash grass and berries, Bai Qianning took out the farm drawings in his arms and handed them to Uncle Xu and said:

"By the way, this is the drawing I made, if the land is approved, you can find someone to calculate the materials, buy it one day sooner, and start work one day earlier."

Uncle Xu hurriedly took the drawings, unfolded them and looked at them, and said with a slight bow: "The land is no problem, the title deed has been written, I discussed it with a few old people in the village, this land is owned by the village, it is a good thing for you to run a factory in the village, so you don't need to spend any more money to buy it." ”

"That's not going to work!" Bai Qianning immediately excused himself and said: "Since this is common in the village, I have to spend more money to buy it, I can't let the villagers suffer, and not everyone has no opinions, if I don't give money today, I will buy land and build a house, tomorrow the Zhao family will think about it, how can you let me go?" If Uncle Xu really plans for me, then tell me the real price, and I will buy it with silver, and no one will have anything to say. ”

Hearing this, Uncle Xu still hesitated, but finally nodded:

"Hmmm! This is also reasonable, the Zhao family is now jumping all day long, if you really think about it one day, and then use this matter to make trouble, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get Ansheng. Well, then you can buy it according to the market price. As for...... How to distribute it to the villagers, I will discuss it with the elders in the village. You wait, I'll go in and get you the title deed. ”

"Okay!"

After a while, Uncle Xu came out with the title deed, but the difference was that the part above about the location and division of the area was empty, which just met Bai Qianning's needs.

There are not many people in the village who can read and write, and this title deed is also very simple, Bai Qianning looked at it, then stretched out his right hand into the sleeve pocket of his left hand, and took out a silver ticket of three hundred taels from the cuff through the cover of the sleeve pocket and handed it to Uncle Xu and said: "I want to buy it together with the lake and the back mountain, and these silver should be enough." ”

"Buy it all together?"

Uncle Xu took the three hundred taels of silver ticket in his hand and trembled a little, and hurriedly asked, "What did you do when you bought Houshan and Lake?" And even if you want to buy it, you won't need that much silver. ”

"The follow-up may not be known, but it must be useful for me to buy it, and you don't have to worry about the amount of silver, and the extra will be a gift to the neighbors. I will make up for the vacant part myself, except for the back mountain and the lake, but I want another three acres of land, and when you go to share the money with the neighbors, remember to explain it to them. ”

After Bai Qianning finished speaking, he folded the title deed and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, then turned his head to look at Xu Xiuzhu, who was squatting by the well to wash the grass and berries, and joked with his throat: "Xiuzhu, are you going to peel the grass and berries or cramp?" How can it be slow? ”

Hearing this, Xu Xiuzhu turned her head and replied speechlessly: "It's not that I'm slow, there are too many small sesame seeds on this grass and berry, and I only washed five or six in half a day." ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but sigh and muttered, "Hey! I knew it was so difficult to wash, so I let Xiumei wash it, which is what a person of my temperament can do! ”

And Bai Qianning, who listened to her words, snorted, feeling that this girl was seeding grass and berries for a long time! Should she be naïve, or stupid!

Looking at Xu Xiuzhu's stubborn back squatting by the well at this moment, Bai Qianning only felt angry and funny, and quickly explained: "This grass and berries don't need to be seeded, you just see if there is mud and insects, if not, you can eat it twice!" ”

"Huh?"

Xu Xiuzhu floated three black lines on her head, the movements in her hands were suffocated, and she had the heart to scold her mother, if it weren't for her mother standing in the yard at the moment, smiling more happily than Bai Qianning!

......

Coming back from the Xu family, Bai Qianning relied on his memory to complete the title deed and put it into the space.

Then I began to plan to go to Chechi County tomorrow, not only to buy daily necessities, but also to settle on some basic wood and masonry for building a house, as well as materials for making incubators.

Fortunately, Uncle Xu was also afraid of making mistakes, so he specially discussed with the carpenter and mason who were in charge of building the house, and went into the city with them early tomorrow morning.

At present, Bai Qianning wants to ponder the material of the incubator, the incubator is used to incubate eggs, and the reason why chickens and ducks cannot be mass-produced in this era is because hatching chicks depends on old hens, not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the output cannot be increased.

If a modern incubator can be developed, it will be possible to breed chicks in geometric multiples. In this way, not to mention the appetite of foodies has been liberated, even the burden of old hens has been reduced, and the mother no longer has to worry about chicken lovers all over the world not having chickens to eat!

Just thinking like this, there was a burst of shouting from outside the house, and the voice was inexplicably familiar.

"Help is! Kill! ”
