Chapter 547: Meet at the beach
The days passed like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, the summer harvest was over. Whether it is the seed base of the capital or the Zhuangzi of the Tang Gu Yu family, the winter wheat has once again obtained a bumper harvest. The output reached a new high, reaching a high yield of 750 catties per mu on average.
Last year, although the output of the people who purchased wheat seeds from Huangzhuang and Tanggu was not as good as that of Huangzhuang and Yujia's Zhuangzi, they also achieved a good result of an average yield of 600 mu per mu, which was at least double or even twice as high as that of ordinary winter wheat. Near the suburbs of Beijing and around Tanggu, the faces of the people were filled with indescribable joy.
In particular, the villages around Tanggu came into contact with high-yield corn and wheat earlier than the capital, and the small life in the past two years has been much more nourishing than in previous years. If they can't finish eating the grain, they can still sell it at a high price, and some even sell all the grain they produce at home to buy ordinary low-cost grain to eat in order to make a profit.
Because the Yu family's Zhuangzi only has more than 2,000 acres of land, and the output of good seeds is limited after all, some businessmen have the idea to the surrounding villages and towns. However, when they found that the yield of the seeds planted was much lower than that of the seeds purchased directly from the Yu family, the merchants stopped speculating and wanted to hang up the purchase number on the Yu family, so as to purchase high-yield grain seeds as soon as possible.
The seeds of winter wheat were also sold by grain merchants in the northeast first. After a variety of investigations, Yu Hai selected a grain merchant surnamed Zhen to cooperate. This person has a good reputation in the Northeast, Tong Su is not bullied, and his reputation is okay. After signing an agreement with him not to raise prices, he loaded two ships of winter wheat seeds for him, and set out from the port for the north.
After a cool light rain, Tanggu Yu's farm, which has begun to take shape, has begun to plant in full swing, and when this corn is harvested, it can almost meet the planting needs of most of the people in Northeast China.
Yu Xiaocao, who was in the capital, wondered if he should take the time to go back to Tanggu to have a look. It seems a bit unkind to leave everything to my dad and eldest brother and be the shopkeeper myself.
And He Wanning, who came to ask if she would organize a "peach picking picnic" this year, heard about her plan and immediately came to her senses: "Xiaocao, if I remember correctly, you once said that your hometown is backed by mountains and facing the sea, you can hunt in autumn and winter, and catch the sea in spring and summer." Why don't you have a 'seaside feast' and invite us to your hometown, how about my idea?" ”
Yu Xiaocao looked at her helplessly, and said without any hope: "Sister He, you forgot, when I first came to the capital, many people called me 'hillbilly' and 'mud legs'. Not everyone is as interested in life in a small fishing village as you are! ”
He Wanning had an expression of "wrapped up in me" and said, "It's okay, I'll help you find out everyone's tone." Those who are willing to go are welcome, and those who are not willing to go are not reluctant! It's a big deal, let's go together, but it's easy! ”
After coming out of Xiaocao's house, He Wanning went directly to her good friend Yuan Xueyan's house. boasted about Yu Xiaocao's Zhuangzi, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, and then slapped the table, stared at Yuan Xueyan with round eyes and a cold face without the slightest change in expression, and said, "To go or not to go, give a refreshing sentence?" ”
"When will you change your bandit temper? Sister Xiaocao raised you to be white and tender, and finally got along with the tomboy, but as soon as you opened your mouth, you showed your stuffing again! Yuan Xueyan put down the poem in her hand and glanced at He Wanning lightly.
"Xue Yan, are you my best friend? I initiated this proposal, if you don't support me, then what face do I have in front of Sister Xiaocao? He Wanning took Yuan Xueyan's hand and shook it, shaking her dizzy.
Yuan Xueyan sighed, pulled out her hand, and said lightly: "Okay! For your sake, I'll agree to you for your sake. It just so happens that I miss my grandfather and brother too, so I will take a look at them by the way......"
"That's it! I'll go to Minglan again to see if she's interested. Actually, I mean, just the three of us, we are not dragging our feet but are comfortable. He Wanning thought about the temper of the county lord of Minglan, if there was fun without her, she would definitely come to settle accounts after the autumn.
Minglan County Lord has a similar temperament to He Wanning, and he is also an idle person, after listening to He Wanning's proposal, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "I heard that Sister Xiaocao has a very good water nature, and she can dive into the bottom of the sea to catch fish and shrimp." She also has a dolphin friend who helps her discover that the Woko have done a great job! You say, can we have the honor to meet this little friend in the sea? ”
He Wanning was also inexplicably excited, pacing back and forth, complaining to Xiaocao: "Xiaocao, this girl, is really not enough friends." There are so many fun things in her hometown, she can't even think of us good sisters! If it weren't for my whim this time, I mentioned it, and that guy secretly ran back to Dongshan Village by himself!! No, this time we have to slaughter her and let her treat us to an authentic seafood feast!! ”
After contacting the best two sisters, He Wanning ran back to Yu's house, confirmed the date of departure to Xiaocao, and went home to prepare for this trip with great interest!
One sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also herded. Since there are three more oil bottles back to Tanggu, it doesn't hurt to have a few more. So, she sent a post to sisters Yu Wanqing and Li Mengru. After thinking about it, she went to Jingwangfu to inquire if Zhu Junyang's guy was free, lest the cautious man know that she organized this trip, but missed him, and sulked stingily.
After arriving at King Jing's mansion, he learned that Zhu Junyang was summoned into the palace by the emperor, as if there was some task that required him to go out. Look, it's not that she doesn't take him, it's that he doesn't happen to have time. After chatting with Princess Jing for a while, Yu Xiaocao, who was left for lunch, met Wu Junling, who came to greet Princess Jing.
Perhaps because of the daily burning of incense and chanting Buddha, Wu Junling's temperament has changed dramatically compared with before. In the past, she was beautiful and incomprehensible, but she was like a soulless vase, with an empty appearance, and her every move revealed the worldly atmosphere.
Now she has completely precipitated her body and mind, no longer has the previous flies and dogs, faded away from her impetuous side, and has become quiet and elegant. lined with her natural good looks, so that Xiaocao, who had once confronted her, couldn't afford to be disgusted.
Seeing Xiaocao sitting affectionately beside Princess Jing, Wu Junling was only slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect to meet her here. Then, she smiled faintly at Xiaocao, and subconsciously stroked the Buddha beads on her left wrist with her right hand. It was my mother who knelt down in Huguo Temple for 9981 days before she moved the abbot Yuanhui and helped her ask for this string of Buddha beads that the big host had opened with his own hands. Ever since she brought this bead, nightmares and ghosts have never haunted her again.
When Abbot Yuanhui gave her Buddhist beads, he lit her: "Those who go to the camp to ask for may not get anything; When you open your mind, you will see the sea and the sky. Don't force everything! ”
After being frightened by his cousin, Wu Junling faced the face that overwhelmed all beings, and he could no longer have the slightest thought. After returning from Huguo Temple, she arranged a small Buddhist hall in her courtyard, burning incense with her hands every day, chanting scriptures, and sincerely devoting herself to the Buddha, feeling that the whole person was much more relaxed.
For Wu Junling's change, Yu Xiaocao was a little surprised. The white lotus that pestered Zhu Junyang in the past has actually changed his ways, which is incredible. Xiaocao returned her with an indifferent smile and continued to talk to Princess Jing about the topic just now.
"In that valley, I don't know if there are any camellias that give birth to treasures. When you go, keep an eye on me...... However, I doubt your ability to appreciate flowers, so don't just dig up one and come back and fool me! Princess Jing's relaxed tone and intimate expression made Wu Junling stunned. Her aunt has always been more than polite to her, but not intimate enough. It seems that in my aunt's heart, she is not as good as Yu Xiaocao.
Yu Xiaocao showed a shy smile on her face, she didn't think she was an elegant person, those flowers and plants, for her, there was only a difference in color and type. As for the posture and shape, she fell into the water - I don't understand.
She glanced at Mei Xiang, who was covering her mouth and snickering behind Princess Jing, and said, "Isn't this simple?" Sister Mei Xiang is in the tasting of camellias, it is the mother of your hand. Teach it out. Niangniang, you borrow Sister Meixiang from me for a few days, won't all the problems be solved? ”
"You girl, and the ghost idea of abducting the right-hand man next to me early in the morning! Well, in order to be able to convince the person surnamed Feng at the next flower viewing party, I, a precious girl, will lend it to you for the time being. "In the past few years, Princess Jing has pressed Mrs. Feng with camellias, and she is in a good mood!
Yu Xiaocao said teasingly: "Don't worry, you will definitely not miss your hair!" ”
Mei Xiang also pretended to be surprised and asked: "That slave doesn't dare to comb her hair every morning, if she accidentally combs out a hair, Miss Yu is not good at dealing with her mother!" ”
Yu Xiaocao also had a frightened expression, frowned and said bitterly: "Then what should I do?" Mother, or ...... I'll give you the most powerful girl around me, Wutong? ”
Wutong, who was named, also had a dripping expression: "Miss, don't give the slave maid away, the slave maid will eat half a bowl of rice in the future, so that she can live!" ”
Princess Jing couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief, and kept laughing: "No compensation, no compensation." A girl, I can still afford it! ”
"Niangniang, the slave maid will eat half a bowl of rice less in the future, don't give the slave maid to Miss Yu." Mei Xiang also copied Wutong's expression, and Wutong's words made Princess Jing very happy.
Looking at the relaxed conversation between the master and servant, the natural interaction. Wu Junling was envious in his heart, but it was just envy. She kept in mind the words of the presiding master: In everything, don't force it, all cause and effect will be determined.
