161 wittily came up with an excuse
In other respects, Kong Gaoming may be slower to react, but when it comes to farming, he is surprisingly keen.
As soon as he saw Sheng Qingqing's expression, he immediately reacted.
"Girl, you can't do this, the ground has been turned over, and the good seed hasn't been found yet, but it's delaying the work!"
In these days, if you want to buy seeds, it is not as convenient as modern times, and you can buy whatever you want at any seed store. Generally speaking, the good seeds of farming are uniformly preserved in the village. If the people in the village want to plant the land, they can ask the village chief to distribute the seeds they need for the land the next year. The number of seeds is arranged according to the amount of land, and there will be no excess.
After all, this is also considered the common property of the village.
Therefore, in these years, if you want to get additional good seeds, it is quite troublesome for ordinary people. Not to mention that what Sheng Qingqing wants to get is the seeds of melons, fruits and vegetables.
Ordinary melons and fruits, common ones are just that, you can go to other villagers in the village to exchange for some, although the big guys themselves have to use them, but the little adds up, so many people in a village, more or less can get some.
If you want those cherished melons and fruits, the living seeds planted are not alive, and in other words, this kind of seed is the first problem.
For Kong Gaoming, a farmer, before turning the ground, the seeds must be sprouted first, so that as soon as the ground is turned over, it can be planted directly, so that there will be no delay in time. There aren't many good times a year.
And like Sheng Qingqing, the ground has been turned over, but the seeds have not yet landed, Kong Gaoming feels that he is "messing around", which is really not a success at all.
Sheng Qingqing was a little embarrassed by his condemning gaze.
There are a bunch of plants waiting to be picked in her space, and there is naturally no shortage of seeds, and she has no plans to plant fruits and vegetables in this era, so she really never thought of buying seeds outside.
God is pitiful, look at those melons and fruits in the village, because they have not been cultivated and optimized for many years, they are really not very delicious.
It's like a watermelon, it's been passed from the Western Regions this year. It is completely different from the crispy watermelon with thin skin and red flesh overflowing with juice in later generations. Today's watermelon not only has thick skin and very little flesh, but also has a white film inside after cutting, dividing the flesh into pieces, which looks like an enlarged version of pomegranate.
There are also melons and the like, which are really unworthy of the name, and the most juicy in the mouth is eaten, barely quenching thirst, but it is not sweet at all.
Of course, for the "ancients" who have not eaten anything good in this era, it may be sweet and rare enough, but Sheng Qingqing really dislikes them very much.
But whether it is space or these dislikes, they can't be said to Kong Gaoming......
Sheng Qingqing was very embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, she said stubbornly: "...... I'm going to go to the town these days, just to see the shopkeeper Wan, who is a capable man, and he should have a lot of seeds in his old man's hands. ”
"Ten thousand shopkeepers...... Kong Gaoming breathed a sigh of relief, he softened his expression, and said, "Then this thing should be possible!" ”
In the eyes of Kong Gaoming, an honest and simple ordinary person, the shopkeeper Wan who can open a spice shop is obviously a very capable person, an existence that he can only look up to.
The people of these years are really simple, and they all have an inexplicable awe for those who are better than them. It's like an elementary school student who sees the head teacher, even if the other party just gives him an extra look, he is very happy.
Maybe this is the psychology of fans facing idols.
Sheng Qingqing sighed secretly in her heart, her expression remained unchanged, and she even showed a smile, "Yes, I just thought that the shopkeeper Wan was very capable, and I thought if I could ask his old man to help." ”
Kong Gaoming had the heart of his parents, and immediately said with awe: "That can't be too troublesome for the shopkeeper, he needs important things to be busy." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Sheng Qingqing nodded again and again.
Although she didn't care at all in her heart.
Kong Gaoming gave two more instructions, told Sheng Qingqing what seeds are considered good seeds, and planned to leave without saying goodbye. Of course, before leaving, he couldn't help but be a little worried. even wanted to accompany Sheng Qingqing to the town.
"You're not old, I'm worried that you're inexperienced......"
Where can Sheng Qingqing let people follow. She went to the town under the guise of a pretense, even if she went to find the shopkeeper, it had absolutely nothing to do with "buying seeds". If Kong Gaoming is allowed to keep up, she will have to rack her brains to think of excuses again.
"No need! The shopkeeper is a good person, with him watching, you can rest assured! ”
Kong Gaoming's expression moved slightly. In his opinion, Shopkeeper Wan is more capable than him, and he is in the spice business, and he is of course much stronger than him depending on the quality of the seeds......
Sheng Qingqing looked at him like this, and made persistent efforts: "And the work in the field is inseparable from you!" ”
Although it only takes one day to go back and forth to the town, in such an important season as the beginning of spring, for the farmers who are digging in the field, they really can't wait to look at the crops in the field day and night, and they are reluctant to leave for a while.
"We need to hoe the grass and kill the insect......"
Sheng Qingqing counted the things to be done every day.
The more he spoke, the more relaxed Kong Gaoming's expression became.
"Hey, then I'm not going, you have to be careful!"
Sheng Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and nodded again and again, "Don't worry, it's not the first time I've been to town." ”
finally sent away Kong Gaoming, who was full of worries, but Sheng Qingqing felt a serious sense of crisis in her heart.
She neatly cleaned up the pots and pans, and asked Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming to go to the backyard to play with the little civet cat.
The backyard has been ploughed, but there is still a lot of alfalfa grass left in the dirt floor. In addition, the two white rabbits in the cage have not been fed yet, Sheng Qingqing is not worried about the two children being bored.
After opening up the two children, she herself returned to the main house, and then the door closed and she entered the space directly.
The space is still the same as it is, including the little goldfish, which is still happily swimming in the pool. And this time, when it saw Sheng Qingqing's figure, it was rare that it didn't swim away, but came over, shaking its head and tail, as if it wanted Sheng Qingqing to play with it.
"......" Sheng Qingqing stretched out her hand with a dry smile, touched it in the air, and said embarrassedly: "Little goldfish, I still have something to do, I won't play with you this time, you are obedient." ”
The last time she came in to pour spring water, she promised the little goldfish that she would play with it next time she came in, but she didn't expect the little goldfish to remember.
But it's a pity that today she is destined to break her promise and gain weight.
The little goldfish seemed to be very angry, and when he heard the words, he flicked his tail directly, and with the swing of its tail, a wave was lifted, and then the wave seemed to have eyes, and all of them poured on Sheng Qingqing's face.
Sheng Qingqing: "......"
I was splashed with water, but I didn't feel anything. The spring water is magical, not to mention splashing on the face, even if you drink it directly, there will be no side effects, only the effect of strengthening the body. And the little goldfish is also very magical, it looks like a fish, but there is no fishy smell at all, on the contrary, the splash of the water splashed by it seems to have a little aroma.
And Sheng Qingqing felt that this aroma was a little familiar, and it seemed that she had smelled it somewhere.
But before she could figure it out, the little goldfish seemed to be very dissatisfied with her "daze", and a bigger splash splashed on Sheng Qingqing's face, directly waking her up.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Sheng Qingqing wiped the water on her face and persuaded the little goldfish in a good-natured manner, "It's wrong for me to break my promise, but today is really urgent." In this way, I will definitely play with you next time, and you can play as long as you want! ”
The little goldfish spat out a bunch of bubbles at her.
The eyes of a fish have no eyelids and cannot be closed.
But at this moment, Sheng Qingqing felt as if she had seen the little goldfish roll her eyes at her.
Before she could take a closer look, the little goldfish flicked its tail again.
But this time it wasn't a splash, the little fish swam away with its tail flicking, looking like "I don't want to see you".
Sheng Qingqing: "......"
It wasn't a delusion just now, she was really despised by a fish.
But what can be done, she broke her promise first......
Sheng Qingqing, who didn't do what she said, sighed helplessly, and she didn't dare to go over and say anything more to the little goldfish, for fear that the little goldfish would be even more angry. I can only do what I want to do in advance.
When things are done, the little goldfish is estimated to be angry, and it should be easier to coax.
Thinking like this, Sheng Qingqing walked to the grinder and picked up the two large bags of spice ingredients, one of which was already half missing, while the other bag was full.
The two bags contained the same spices that Shopkeeper Wan had asked her to grind before.
A bag of agarwood, a bag of white sandalwood.
Both spices are not easy to grind, if it is handmade, I am afraid that the hands have to grind and waste in order to grind a small box, and the powder is not delicate.
Fortunately, Sheng Qingqing has space, and the mill in the space is very easy to use.
Half a bag of agarwood, to grind completely, it is estimated that it will take half an hour. Both of these bags of spices were ground out, and it took about an hour. Compared to manual work, it is not only short, but also very easy.
What Sheng Qingqing has to do is just sieve out the spice powder and the residue left from grinding.
But it's such a simple job, but she hasn't finished it for half a month......
It's not that she's lazy.
At the beginning, the deadline given by Shopkeeper Wan was one month, and for Sheng Qingqing, who only needed an hour to grind the spices, this deadline was too generous, so she had no sense of urgency at all.
Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets will definitely be completed in the end.
Sheng Qingqing originally thought so.
But I never expected that the plan could not catch up with the changes. Where did she think that when the "drying net" didn't last long, the Cheng family rushed to invite her.
This trip to Cheng's house was delayed for another five days......
Sheng Qingqing sighed silently, and really felt that time was inexplicably insufficient.
