Chapter 69: Untitled
"How much does this cost?" Qin Chu said excitedly. "Give me as much as you want."
"Girl, we have planted this, it is really not good-looking...... "The shopkeeper's kindness, afraid that she would not understand, and would persuade again, seeing that she insisted on this, she had to give up.
In the end, Qin Chu bought all the three catties of corn in their store at the price of one or two silver.
"Girl, the store said that this plant is not good-looking, why do you still ......" Yuan Niang saw that she was not good at this treasure, and she had to take it back herself, she was very puzzled.
"You don't understand this, I don't buy it because it's good-looking, but because it's edible." She didn't expect that corn had not been widely planted in this era, but in modern times, a large area of corn is planted on the vast land of her hometown, and the annual grain output will account for about 10% of the country's food.
Corn not only has low environmental requirements, high relative yield, but also easy to serve, if it can successfully promote corn across the country, it is definitely a good thing for the benefit of the people.
"Can you still eat this thing?" Qing'er came in with water, and when she heard Qin Chu's words, she was surprised.
"Of course, not only can it be eaten, but it can also be cooked." Qin Chu looked at the corn kernels in his hand, as if he had seen the hot and fragrant boiled corn.
When she was a child, she liked to eat boiled corn the most, and it was the corn segment in the 'Big Harvest', which absorbed the rich aroma of the soup, mixed with the unique aroma of corn, and it was not too delicious.
"Can you still cook? Girl, should we clean it up and stir-fry it now? Qing'er said happily.
Qin Chu shook his head: "This can't be eaten, I want to keep it for selection."
Grandpa Qin Chu's family is in the countryside, and he lived there for a while when he was young, and he saw that her grandfather chose seeds like this.
Soak the corn seeds in water first, then remove the empty seeds that float up, leaving the full particles, and then sprinkle them on two layers of gauze, cover them with a cloth towel, put them in a warm place, drizzle them with water, and keep them moist all the time, and the seeds will germinate after a few days, and then you can plant them in the ground.
Because the current yard is too small, and it is also a place to rent people's houses, there are few seeds planted in the ground, and she is afraid that the environment is not good, and she will waste her rare seeds in vain, Qin Chu still thinks that it is safer and suitable to plant them in the yard of the Yang family.
After preparing everything and saying hello to a few people, she went to Yang's house.
During this time, she was busy, she didn't come for a long time, the Yang family changed a lot, the newly painted gate, and the courtyard wall also had traces of whitewash, thinking that all this was Yang Zhengming's preparation for marrying her, she was very heartwarming.
During this time, she was busy with spring ploughing, and she hadn't seen him for several days.
The yard is still spacious and clean, except that there are two chicken coops under the wall near the left side under the window, in which a few Luhua chickens are raised. Yang's mother knew that she liked to eat eggs, so she specially bought them to raise.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Yang's mother sitting under the window making shoes, and the pink uppers embroidered with butterflies and flowers were made for her at first glance.
At the end of the bed sat a thin woman in her fifties, which Qin Chu had never seen.
Mother Yang looked up and saw that it was Qin Chu coming, so she happily beckoned someone to sit down: "Just come here, come and try if these shoes fit, if it is uncomfortable, I will change it as soon as possible."
"The shoes made by my aunt are the most comfortable, and they fit much better than those sold in the store." Qin Chu was not polite, he directly took the finished one and put it on his feet and tried it, the size was just right.
"You will fool me by saying that it sounds good, my craftsmanship is far worse than the one in the store, but it is just more material than them, and I wear it sturdily." Although Mother Yang said this, she saw that she wore it on her feet without hesitation, and even took two steps beautifully, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth was still getting bigger and bigger.
"You are so blessed, you have such a caring daughter-in-law, not only is she beautiful, but this little mouth will also make people happy."
Qin Chu frowned unconsciously, and when he saw the woman looking over, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled politely.
Seeing Qin Chu's gaze, he smiled and took her hand, and praised Yang Mu: "Look at it, this white and tender, this looks like a fairy sung in the play."
Qin Chu felt the hands rubbing against the back of his hand, and his brows moved slightly again, this person was really ......
Mother Yang smiled and introduced to Qin Chu: "This is your aunt Wang."
Qin Chu withdrew his hand without a trace, and greeted with a smile: "Hello aunt."
"Good, good". Wang looked at her and nodded, and said to Mother Yang: "You, you are so blessed, you are bright and promising, and the days of happiness in the future are ahead."
"You are blessed, seeing that you are about to hold your grandson, your Wang Tong has been promoted again this time......"
She is Wang Tong's mother?
Qin Chu glanced at the person again, and there was indeed a bit of similarity between his eyebrows.
Mother Yang and Wang complimented each other a few more words, and then remembered to ask Qin Chu: "Isn't the store busy?" Why are you free to visit me? ”
Qin Chu hurriedly said the matter briefly: "...... I want to grow something, but I don't have a place to ......."
"What should I do, you also deliberately make a trip, the yard is so spacious, you can arrange what you want to plant."
Mother Yang is a hundred satisfied with Qin Chu, not to mention that she just planted something in the yard, even in the house, she would not object.
"You mother-in-law really didn't say anything." Before Qin Chu could speak, the Wang family on the side had already opened his mouth and answered: "The courtyard is so big, I don't dare to let them spoil it casually."
Rotten...... Tread on?!
Qin Chu tugged at the corners of his mouth and didn't speak.
"It's not all the same." Mother Yang said indifferently.
There was silence in the room, and Wang spoke again: "I have always heard that Miss Qin has opened a red shop, and she will also give people marriage, she is really capable."
Qin Chu said modestly: "Don't dare to be."
"We are Chuchu, we are indeed capable." Speaking of this, Yang's mother looked proud: "Which girl do you say can start from scratch and run her business so well?" ”
Mother Yang said, pointing to the bracelet on her wrist and the clothes on her body to Wang: "Not only capable, but also filial, I always tell her that I am old, and what do you spend money on me, she never listens."
The smile on the corner of Wang's mouth was a little reluctant, "Or say that you are a good fortune."
After receiving the praise, the smile on Yang's mother's face suddenly expanded a few points.
"If Miss Qin has a suitable candidate, she will also introduce our family Tong'er."
Qin Chu was shrinking aside to listen obediently, hearing what Wang said this, thinking of the evaluation of Wang Tong and Yuan Niang given by the system before, he raised his head and said curiously: "I don't know what kind of requirements my aunt has for my daughter-in-law?" ”
Wang said modestly: "What can I ask for, as long as Tong'er can say that he is a daughter-in-law, I will burn high incense for Amitabha Buddha."
"Fate is such a thing, I can't be in a hurry, you see me before, I almost didn't rush to gray hair, but now it's good, with such a lovely person as Chu Chu by my side."
Wang's face is not obvious, but he is scared to death in his heart, don't you just say that she is a daughter-in-law, as for hanging her beauty on the edge every day.
"Miss Qin's is rare after all." Wang tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I don't have any big requirements for my daughter-in-law, but there is one thing to be satisfied, that is, both parents are complete, and our family doesn't dare to ask for people with hard lives."
Qin Chu sighed secretly in his heart Sure enough, with such a concept, it is no wonder that the system score is so low.
Qin Chu never thought that her words might have another meaning, that is, to herself.
However, she didn't want to, it didn't mean that others didn't want to, Yang Mu's face was a little unsightly in an instant, and she didn't squeak with a calm face.
Successfully pulled back a game, Wang felt a little complacent, the two were of the same age, although the relationship was good, but secretly there was still a lot of competition. It's a pity that Yang Zhengming is angry and has risen all the way, but fortunately, her daughter-in-law was pregnant some time ago, which made her show off very much. It's a pity that it didn't take long for the Yang family to get married, and Yang's mother still showed off with her all day long. It makes her very angry.
"It's better to have a strong body and a bigger buttocks, so that you can give birth at a glance." Wang continued: "This woman, it doesn't matter if she can do it or not, the main thing is to be optimistic about whether she is good or not."
Qin Chu nodded, the ancients still paid great attention to birth and nurturing, otherwise there would not be that sentence, unfilial piety has three nos.
Mother Yang couldn't listen to it anymore, and replied: "It is said that the female husband is measured, and the daughter-in-law has to look at what kind of daughter-in-law you have, otherwise you will blindly have high eyes, and I am afraid that you will not be able to talk about your daughter-in-law for the rest of your life."
The smile on Wang's face could hardly be maintained, "What do you mean by this, auntie?" Feelings mean that our family Wang Tong is not good, and this requirement is not good? ”
Mother Yang neither admitted nor denied it: "Your Wang Tong is just a team leader, he is still black, and he has to be pulled with a stick to find it in the ash heap, you say that you still want to mention this and that, isn't this embarrassing for our family?" ”
Burst...... Yang Zhengming's poisonous tongue turned out to be hereditary......
"You!" Wang got up angrily, "When I find a better daughter-in-law than yours, and you have hot eyes."
"Auntie......" Qin Chu looked at the Wang family who rushed away and the Yang mother who still didn't look good, and didn't know how to persuade him.
"It's okay, she's a mouse, and she'll be fine in two days." The two had already quarreled and quarreled, and Mother Yang said indifferently: "Let's eat dinner here today, it just so happened that the Wang family sent a few pickled cucumbers over just now, and I will make you pickled cucumber fried shredded pork."
Thinking that she and Yang Zhengming were busy during this time, and it was not interesting for Yang's mother to eat alone, Qin Chu nodded and agreed.
Who knew that the meal had just been served, and Yang Zhengming, who hadn't seen him for many days, actually came back.
"Do you know that Chu Chu is here, and you deliberately pinched it back?" Yang's mother joked, seeing that her son's eyes were about to fall on Qin Chu, she got up with interest: "I didn't prepare your share, I'll go fry two more dishes."
Yang Zhengming saw his mother go out, so he boldly looked at the person, although the person was still the same person, although he had not seen him for a few days, but he felt as if several spring and autumn had passed, her smile and smile were deeply engraved in his mind, and appeared in front of him from time to time.
He had never been so desperate to see someone, and when he went to the store and heard that she had come to the house, he hurried back.
