Chapter 26: I Didn't Expect It
Shen Yan was embarrassed, blushing and said, "Sister-in-law, there are only two months left before the triennial scientific expedition, so I think... I want to go back to the college tomorrow to resume classes. ”
Scientific expedition? She had forgotten about it.
Sheng Zhu said while rubbing salt on pork: "That's it?" Alright, go in peace, for I have the business at home. ”
Shen Yan's face was full of shame, "The third brother and the younger sister are all entrusted to the eldest sister-in-law." ”
The eldest brother is not at home, so it stands to reason that he should hold the door, but this autumn is no better than others, and if he misses it, he will have to wait for three years, and he doesn't want to wait any longer. Although the eldest brother can hunt, every time he enters the mountains, his life is in danger, and it is not a long-term solution; The third brother is considered a teacher, and he is a craftsman in this life, mediocre; Xiaomei's illness is even more urgent, I don't know when it will suddenly attack, so I have to quickly seek treatment from a divine doctor.
And to change the fate of the family, the imperial examination is the only way out.
Sheng Zhu didn't know that Shen Yan had put so much pressure on her, but the ancient people attached great importance to the imperial examination, and she still knew it, so she smiled: "It's all a family, what do you say about entrusting or not entrusting." I promise you, as long as I have a bite to eat, you will never be able to starve the two of them, okay? ”
Shen Yan naturally believed her, after all, Sheng Zhu had given him enough surprises in the past few days.
As soon as the pork was processed, Shen Zheng came back from the village chief's house, and the expression on his face was a little unpleasant.
He was an anxious man, and without waiting for Sheng Zhu and Shen Yan to open his mouth to ask, he generally said the beans poured into the bamboo tube: "The village chief said that the world is stable now, and as long as there is land, he is not afraid of starvation, so everyone is reluctant to sell it easily." However, if we really want to buy, there are a few vacant lands at the foot of the back mountain that are ownerless, and the village chief said that considering that our family has no land in the village, they can sell it to us cheaper, a total of five acres and three cents, only ten taels of silver. ”
This price is really not expensive, at least half of the market price.
Shen Yan frowned, and said: "I know that the land was opened up by people who fled from the famine before, and I have tried to plant it, but no matter how good the seeds are, if they are planted with great care, there will be no food in the field, so those people had to leave our Qingshan Pass later and go to other places to earn a living." ”
In other words, the land is worthless.
The village chief clearly said that he was thinking about them, but in fact he wanted to deprive their family of money.
Shen Zheng was immediately deflated, "Then what should I do?" Is it possible to go to the next village to buy it? ”
Not to mention whether there is one in the next village, even if there is work, it is not convenient, he has to find time to go to the master's house as an apprentice, and the time is simply not enough.
The two brothers sat at the table with sad faces.
Sheng Zhu's eyes rolled, and he called the system in his mind: "Jiuguan, do you have a way to test the fat and thin of the ground?" ”
The system scoffed: "Please remove the word '?' thank you." Not to mention the fat and thin of the ground, it is a person, as long as you touch her, I can immediately measure whether she can have a son in the future! ”
Sheng Zhu: "......"
In that case, things are easy to do.
She proposed: "Well, there is nothing to do today anyway, and idleness is idleness, so why don't we go on a field trip and make a decision?" ”
Shen Yan smiled bitterly: "Sister-in-law, whether the land is good or not, you can see it by looking at it, and besides, we have no experience, I'm afraid we can't do it accurately." ”
They don't, the system does.
Sheng Zhu didn't have anything to do with the brothers here, he stood up directly, and said, "Listen to me, whether the things are good or not, you will only know when you see them." Doesn't my little sister like flowers, and after reading the ground, I just took her up the mountain to pick some back, so as not to make her bored at home alone. ”
The money is earned by Sheng Zhu, and it is naturally up to her to decide whether to buy it or not, and the brothers are no longer entangled, and a family of four plus a dog went out like this.
Shen Xi hadn't been up the mountain for two years, and since she was pushed down the mountain by Lin Chunwang, the grandson of the village chief, she had shrunk in her small fence yard, not daring to see anyone again.
Although the eldest brother would pick some wildflowers and give them to her every time he went into the mountains to hunt, he couldn't compare to the joy of picking them by himself.
Those few pieces of land were at the foot of the mountain, only a quarter of an hour away from the Shen family's broken thatched hut, and there were no crops in the field, but there were thorns in the field.
Shen Zheng's face became even more depressed, and he snorted angrily: "The village chief must be holding a grudge against the eldest brother who beat his son half to death last time, such a broken ground is actually embarrassed to ask us for ten taels, I see, no one may want ten cents!" ”
Shen Yan also thought so.
Lin Dahe, the village chief of Qingshanao, was not a person who had a clear distinction between public and private, and besides, Lin Chunwang was still his favorite eldest grandson, so it would be strange if he didn't hold a grudge against his eldest brother.
Sheng Zhu's attention was all on the soil of the place, she grabbed a small handful with her hand and crushed it, the fine sand was really sandy.
"Nine cylinders, has the test come out?"
The system quickly gave the result: "Second-level sandy land, planting wheat and wheat is dead, planting flowers and flowers is dead, and wanting to harvest is purely a dream." ”
Sheng Zhu sighed secretly, it seems that the matter of buying land and land can only be moved later, and was about to say to Shen Zheng, when the system suddenly sighed: "Wait, the test results are not over yet." ”
After a while, it burst out laughing, "I didn't expect this place to be a treasure!" ”
Sheng Zhu's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean, is there a treasure buried under this ground?" ”
The system choked and was speechless: "Host, can we not always think about getting something for nothing?" Is it okay to be down-to-earth? A treasure must be a place where treasure is buried? Can't it be the land where the baby is produced? ”
Baby... What baby? Sheng Zhu's head was full of question marks.
The system asked, "You are the chief pharmacist, you should know that there is a medicinal herb called gastrodia, right?" ”
Of course, this Sheng Zhu knows that gastrodia has a high medicinal value, such as headache and dizziness, limb numbness, pediatric convulsions, epilepsy, convulsions, tetanus, etc., all have good curative effects.
Does the system mean that it is not good to grow crops in this piece of broken land, but it is good to grow gastrodia?
"Not bad." The system whispered in her mind, "Very good! Gastrodia in this era mainly relies on wild resources, so the price remains high, among which the black red gastrodia is the most expensive, at least more than 20 taels of silver per catty, do you say it is a treasure land? ”
Sheng Zhu was almost overjoyed, and finally managed to control the nerves in his face, and hurriedly asked: "Where are the hemp seeds that day?" ”
This one... The system fell silent suddenly.
It took a long time before he spoke: "The system mall has it for sale, but you haven't unlocked the first level yet, and you can't enter the mall, and you can't buy it, unless you ......"
