In the ninth year of Jingkang, Shen Tuantuan had already reached the end of the year, but the Ning family came to ask for the deadline, but they were all diverted by the Shen family, and the number of visits to the door was too much, and Shen Changzhi didn't bother to talk nonsense with Ning Nanxing, so he beat people out with a broom. Shen Changzhi put down the next sentence, mentioned it once, and called it out once.

The invitation period, also known as the notice period, commonly known as the selection date, is the day when the man's family sends someone to the woman's house to notify the marriage and marriage.

The first few times, Ning Nanxing was extraordinarily polite, and asked the matchmaker to go to the Shen family to ask for an appointment. It's just that no matter how many days the matchmaker chooses, she can be picked by Shen Changzhi, in short, it is not very lucky.

But Ning Nanxing tried his best to marry the person back before the year.

For the New Year, it is better to marry a daughter-in-law for the New Year.

But Shen Changzhi didn't agree, obviously he discussed it with his father-in-law, and when he went back to celebrate the New Year together, Tuan Tuan was the same as when he didn't get married! But on the contrary, Shen Changzhi made a stumbling block.

Although Ning Nanxing treats the invitation period as a top priority, and a red heart is on it, but the little daughter-in-law Shen Tuantuan has been a little busy recently, and she is so busy that her feet don't touch the ground, and she doesn't care if he complains.

There is no other reason, it is the lotus root to make trouble.

Just as they expected at the beginning, because of the bumper harvest of the Shen family's thirty acres of ponds, Jiangxia City and even several nearby cities have already started a craze for planting lotus roots. Although ordinary people are reluctant to harm the farmland, although they are very excited about the price of lotus roots, they are still reluctant to dig pits, but those big landlords do not have this concern, the Shen family is only a small fight of thirty acres, they are fifty acres, sixty acres, but there is no harvest for a few years, and it is not in the way at all.

Even if Miao Jin is low-key on weekdays, there are many families who come to poach people. Even if the high price of 100 taels was offered, Miao Jin still shook his head and refused, and outsiders said that Miao Jin was a fool. It's going to be a new year again, and his daughter-in-law who Miao Jin Toning Nanxing inquired about is still missing.

However, Miao Jin did not plan to leave the owner.

Miao Jin knew very well in his heart that those people who came to dig him were just to learn his ability to grow lotus roots, and when this skill was learned, the next year, he was kicked out. And Miao Jin saw with his own eyes how the owner helped Jiang Xiaohai when he was in difficulty, and he knew in his heart that such affectionate and righteous people were difficult to find, so Miao Jin made up his mind to tell himself, don't listen to the owner's run, otherwise, Miao Jin felt that he could run away at any time!

Jiang Xiaohai, who has already settled in Miaojiazhai, has just finished the autumn harvest and is about to start working on the lotus root in the pond. It's just that in the past few days, Jiang Xiaohai has also been worried. It's really because there are too many people who have planted lotus roots!

At the other end of the land next to them, there was a large pond, which was bigger than the Shen family! It's greener too!

Since the beginning of selling lotus pods, the price of the Shen family's lotus root has been unsold. Last year, both of them were sold cheaply, but this year, no one wants a penny! It is conceivable that near Jiangxia City, how many households have planted lotus pods, and how many acres of land have been dug up to plant lotus pods!

After Shen Tuantuan heard the price of Jiang Xiao's poster, the auction was set, and this year's lotus pod will not be sold. After sending some out, the other Shen Tuantuan asked the women of Miaojiazhai to help peel the lotus seeds, separate the lotus seed cores into medicine, and concoct the lotus seeds by steaming.

The women and children in Miaojiazhai are real, and Shen Tuantuan just gives ordinary wages, but the people in the village work hard, for fear of losing the owner. They have long heard that this year's lotus root is not easy to sell. Now in the city near Jiangxia City, the most important thing is this lotus root. Even if the seedlings planted lotus roots in the second year, they can now expect to increase their yields a lot compared to last year, which is originally a good thing, but because of the scarcity of things, however, there are many and cheap. So much so that later, the lotus pods in Jiangxia City could buy several copper plates.

But Shen Tuantuan insisted on concocting lotus seeds to make medicine, and they could only do their best to do their jobs.

After the lotus seeds and lotus seed cores were concocted, Shen Tuantuan asked Jiang Xiaohai to send some of them to the academy, and the others were sent to the Taohuazhuang for storage.

Ning Nanxing looked at the two boxes in the courtyard and asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

Shen Tuantuan smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Surprise! ”

"Surprise?" Ning Nanxing was still in disbelief, you must know that Shen Tuantuan never gave him anything, except for food, of course.

Shen Tuan Tuan nodded happily and waited for Ning Nanxing to open the box by himself.

"What's in such a big box?" Ning Nanxing stood in place and didn't approach the two boxes. The man's instincts tell him that there is not a simple thing here.

Shen Tuantuan smiled, because Ning Nanxing cared little about the things in the field, although when he learned that the situation this year was not very good, he didn't say anything, threw Shen Tuantuan a few silver tickets, and asked Shen Tuantuan to pay Miao Jin and Jiang Xiaohai, and the rest was given to Shen Tuantuan as a running fee. The running fee of a few hundred taels of silver is really wealthy.

It's that Ning Nanxing has been busy with pills in his yard recently, and Shen Tuantuan was free, so he gave Ning Nanxing a hand, and now it can be regarded as a good hand to ask for pills.

"You'll know when you open it."

Ning Nanxing was a little dazed, obviously Shen Tuantuan has been in the academy recently, where did he prepare the surprise of the two boxes? Thinking that Jiang Xiaohai seemed to have been here before, he knew in his heart that he probably asked Jiang Xiaohai to go outside to find something.

"Quick, go open it and take a look! You'll be pleasantly surprised! ”

Unable to stand Shen Tuantuan's urging tightly, Ning Nanxing stiffened his body and approached step by step, slowly opening the box!

And then-Ning Nanxing was really scared, a whole big box of lotus seeds! Concocted lotus seeds! This box is more than enough to put one person!

Shen Tuantuan said happily on the side, "How is it, surprise?" If you want to use lotus seeds in the future, you don't have to go out and buy them! I've already made it for you! Look how much I think about you! ”

Ning Nanxing stiffened his neck and nodded, "Then the other box, is it also lotus seeds?" ”

"Guess?" Shen Tuantuan said coquettishly. Ning Nanxing couldn't bear to look at it directly, he was afraid that if he was not careful, he would mistake Shen Tuantuan for this intention.

Ning Nanxing shook his head, "I can't guess." ”

Shen Tuantuan was not embarrassed by Ning Nanxing, and said very considerately, "Then you can open it and take a look!" An even bigger surprise! ”

When Ning Nanxing heard this, he reached out and touched the box, one box of lotus seeds was already a big enough surprise, and the bigger surprise was nothing more than two boxes of lotus seeds! Ning Nanxing thought that he was fully prepared, but when he opened the box, Ning Nanxing was still really shocked.

He, sure enough, still underestimated Shen Tuantuan.

"How's that, do you like it?"

Ning Nanxing smiled slightly, "Such a box of lotus seed cores!" It's hard for you, Tuantuan-"

Ning Nanxing gritted his teeth and expressed his strong gratitude in his heart!

Shen Tuantuan didn't seem to hear it at all, waved his hand, and said nonchalantly, "It's all my own family, what kind words do you say." ”

After Shen Tuantuan finished speaking, he left, slipping faster than a rabbit.

Ning Nanxing felt at this moment that Shen Tuantuan must have done it on purpose!

Ning Nanxing looked at one box of lotus seeds and another box of lotus seed cores, when did this have to be used! Even if you finish reading all the patients in Jiangxia City, you won't need so many, right?

Alas-

Ning Nanxing forgot to ask, if this lotus seed is used, is it to give Shen Tuantuan silver......

In the next few days, the ancestors and grandchildren of the Ning family seemed to fall in love with lotus seeds and lotus seed cores. As long as it can be used slightly, it must be used to see lotus seeds and lotus seed cores.

"I see that your heart is hot, and you have sores on your mouth and tongue, I will prescribe some medicine, and you will take it first to recuperate." At this time, you can use lotus seeds, which can help clear heat and reduce fire.

"I don't think you're sleeping well, and your mood has been up and down recently, I'll prescribe a few pills for you to try first." At this time, lotus seeds must be used. Lotus seeds calm the nerves and promote sleep.

"Oh, four years of marriage without an heir? I'll prescribe you a few patches of medicine, and you take it first. At this time, the lotus seed came again. Lotus seeds are able to promote fertility in the southern star.

Even if the ancestors and grandchildren of the Ning family are always thinking about using lotus seeds, but for so long, they only use more than a catty, even if the lotus seeds are used in medicine, they must pay attention to the balance of medicinal effects!

Ning Nanxing couldn't, so he had to say to Old Man Ning, "Go back, I'll ponder a pill with lotus seeds as the main medicine." I don't know if my uncle's side of the frontier will need to give birth to a big tonic pill......"

Old Man Ning: ...... Give back my ignorant grandson!

Ning Nanxing inadvertently learned that there were still several boxes of lotus seeds stored in Peach Blossom Village, and immediately, he would immediately go to the pharmacy to develop the Shengzi Great Tonic Pill! He just wants to immerse himself in the sea of lotus seeds and never return!

So much so that later, Ning Nanxing became a male saint and was sought after, of course, this is all a later story.

When the lotus root is ripe, the price is even more low.

Shen Tuantuan had already prepared this time, and had already purchased several stone mills in Miaojiazhai to make lotus root powder, just like making sweet potato powder.

You must know that this lotus root noodles used to be eaten only by the noble ladies of those big families.

Shen Tuantuan sent some lotus root powder to the Xu family, and Mrs. Xu was overjoyed, "This lotus root powder is a good thing, but the imperial doctor often recommends that women eat more lotus root powder, nourishing yin and invigorating qi, a rare good thing." ”

"Now that this lotus root is cheap, I thought that Aunt Xu would look down on it, but I knew that Aunt Xu liked it, so I will send a little more when I go back." If it weren't for the fear that sending a box would scare the Xu family, Shen Tuantuan really wanted to talk about sending a box.

Mrs. Xu was very grateful, and would cook a pot of lotus root noodles every day for the family to eat.
