After the two exchanged pleasantries, they cut to the chase.

"Alvin, how many seeds did you bring with you this time?"

"One hundred pounds each of potatoes and sweet potatoes, fifty pounds of corn, thirty pounds of watermelons, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, and peanuts. There are some other seeds, do you want to see if they are interested? ”

"Okay, where is the thing, I'll go with you to see it"

"At the docks, I came to charter a boat this time."

Xu Qingyan was a little surprised when she heard this, last time Alvin said that he had a bad economic condition, how could he charter a boat so generously this time.

Seeing Xu Qingyan's surprised expression, Alvin explained: "The cotton cloth I brought back last time was sold at a high price, and I borrowed some money again, and this time I brought a lot of goods from our side, and after selling it, I plan to get more cloth back." ”

Oh, so I was determined to go big! Then it's no wonder.

followed Alvin to the dock, and a young man who looked similar to Alvin greeted him, and when Alvin saw this, he introduced to Xu Qingyan: "Ayan, I am my younger brother Alpha." ”

When Xu Qingyan heard this, she laughed out loud, the name Alpha .............

Alvin didn't know why Xu Qingyan was laughing, could it be that his brother's name was funny.

"Ah Yan, what are you laughing at, is there something wrong with Alpha's name?"

"No, no, this name is good," Xu Qingyan waved her hand again and again.

Who knew Xu Qingyan's kind words, but Alvin took it seriously, and nodded again and again: "Well, my father, Alibaba is a very cultured person in our place, just like your Xiucai here, everyone likes to let my father name him, saying that he has a good name." ”

Alibaba!

Xu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, came back to her senses, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, no, your grandfather is the educated one." ”

"No, my grandfather didn't read."

Dear, this has nothing to do with reading, your grandfather has a vision, he has foreseen thousands of years later, there will be an Alibaba market value of billions!

It turns out that your family has always had the dream of being rich, but it didn't come true to your father, but you have potential.

Alpha is a shy young man, Alvin introduced Xu Qingyan to him, he just smiled shyly at Xu Qingyan, and stood aside without speaking.

Alvin took Xu Qingyan to check the goods he brought one by one, in addition to the seeds that Xu Qingyan wanted, there were also some fruit seeds, and the goods that Alvin brought were all seeds.

Seeing these seeds, Xu Qingyan suddenly thought of a question.

Grain has always been the foundation of the country, and it should be strictly controlled, why can Alvin bring so many seeds out of the country, doesn't their country care!

"You brought so many seeds out, and no one on your side took care of them?"

"No, many years ago, our country exchanged seeds with your country, but some seeds are not suitable for planting by the water on your side, so they ............"

"Oh, I see." Speaking of this, Xu Qingyan remembered that last time her father said that peanuts were popular for a while a few years ago, but then because no one knew the use of peanuts, no one planted them.

Presumably, other seeds also went around the Zhou Dynasty before, but because no one knew what they were used for, they did not rise.

"Are you sure you want these seeds, I heard that no one on your side has planted these?"

"It's okay, I've heard people say that these seeds should be planted in a way that can be grown." Agreed with Alvin to wait here for another day, and she called a carriage to come and pull the seeds tomorrow.

In fact, she can also call a carriage to pull it, but after all, she is here at her age, and there are still adults present in such a large transaction of goods, so as not to arouse suspicion.

After saying goodbye to Alvin, Xu Qingyan went home, originally to buy paper, but since she was going to call a carriage to transport seeds tomorrow, let's buy it together tomorrow, so that you can buy more, just use the carriage to pull it back.

Thinking of the carriage, she felt that it would be better to buy a carriage, so that it would be much more convenient to go to the county seat or do anything, and she would have to discuss this matter with her family later.

Back at Xu's house, at the dinner table, Xu Qingyan said: "Dad, the Fanbang merchant Alvin from last time is back, this time he brought a lot of seeds, I want to buy them all, you can get them back with me tomorrow." ”

"What seeds, can we feed them here, a few years ago, Fanbang seeds were fashionable for a while, but many of them were not planted, and those that were planted were of no use, and then no one planted them." Hu said

"You can rest assured, since I said it, I must be sure, but our family has too little land, not enough to plant, why don't we buy more land."

"But we don't have any land for sale in our village," Xu Guangqi replied

"Dad, uncle, is there any wasteland in our village, let's open up some more wasteland."

In fact, it is not impossible to buy fertile land elsewhere, but the seeds of potatoes have not been planted by many people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and if the land is bought in other villages, or far away, it is not very convenient to take care of.

They are not yet to buy people, and besides, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn seeds, do not need good land, and the soil quality of the wasteland is more suitable.

Xu Guangqi hesitated: "Yes, yes, but if we act again with such fanfare, will it attract people's eyes." ”

"What are you afraid of, the soldiers will block, the water will flood, and you have forgotten, our family has gold, the spirit beast of the town, and you need to be afraid of those red-eyed people"

In fact, even if there is no gold, now with her strength and attack charm, she can make those people come and go, but after all, she is a person born in a peaceful era, and she doesn't want to stain her hands with blood unless she has to.

"Ah Yan is right, we can't shrink back because we are afraid of other people's eyes, the eldest and the second, tomorrow you will go to the village chief to talk about the wasteland."

"Okay, how much wasteland will our family open this time?"

"Dad, you can do it, the more the better, and it is best to be connected."

"Grandma, let's buy another carriage, it will be more convenient to go to the county seat in the future, and Ah Wen and Ah Jun will also need to go to school in the future."

"The idea is good, but I'm afraid the money to buy the carriage is not enough ............."

"Grandma, don't worry about the money, today the shopkeeper Wang ordered another hundred bottles of hemostatic charms from me, as well as the ginseng from last time, why don't you take it and sell it first." In fact, Xu Qingyan also hid five ginsengs, and all of them were older than the year they were handed over to the Cao family, but the Xu family didn't know about it.

She just sold it secretly, and the money was not easy to come up with, so she could only let the Cao family sell the ginseng, and if the family needed ginseng in the future, she would find an excuse to take it out.

"Okay, I said to sell the ginseng at the beginning, but you don't agree, but this time you figured it out."

"Didn't I think of it at the beginning, but my grandmother had a vision."

"Okay, don't pat yourself on the back, you will know how to make the old woman happy" Although he said so, Cao's heart was still very happy, and after speaking, Cao's went into the house to get ginseng.

handed over the ginseng to Xu Guanghua, and Cao Shi told him uneasily: "You have to keep this ginseng, if it is damaged, it will cost you a lot less money." ”

"Got it, mother, I'll keep it." Xu Guanghua replied.

"Ah Yan, or you should keep this ginseng, your father is rough, I'm afraid he will really spoil it when I turn around."

When Xu Qingyan saw Cao's words, she couldn't help but help Xu Guanghua say good things: "Grandma, don't worry, my father knows the severity, and he will definitely keep it, and I am watching from the side, ensuring that he will not be broken, you can rest assured." ”
