Chapter Ninety-One: Buying Seeds
It's not enough to just find a good person, seeds are also very important, and among the people who happened to come to help, there was a man who was very proficient in crops, and he automatically asked Ying to help the Yunzhu family choose seeds.
Someone is willing to take the initiative to help, Yunzhu is naturally willing, after discussing with her family, she found a fairly warm day and drove to the town.
The man's name is Li Laosan, in his early forties this year, in addition to him and his daughter-in-law, there are two sons and a daughter in the family, and now that the sons have grown up, seeing that it is time to talk about his daughter-in-law, Li Laosan's heart is unspeakably anxious.
I heard that someone paid someone to help farm the land, and he was paid a lot of wages, so he came over without saying a word, and the land at home was not big, and he could plant it with a daughter-in-law and children.
When they arrived in the town, Li Laosan asked Yunzhu and Ning Yi to arrange a carriage, and then took them around and around to find a storefront.
Yun Zhu and Ning Yi followed all the way, and when they saw the storefront, their faces showed doubts, not to mention the more they walked along the way, the store looked dilapidated, as if it had long been out of people.
"Limber, are you home?" Li Laosan stood in front of the store and shouted into the house.
"Who?" The old man's voice came out, and after a while, an old man with gray hair came out of the house, he looked at Li Laosan carefully for a long time, and then said, "It turned out to be you!" ”
Obviously, this old man, who was called Lin Bo by Li Laosan, knew Li Laosan, and he looked behind Li Laosan, "Did you come to me for something?" ”
Hearing Lin Bo ask himself, Li Laosan nodded again and again, "Lin Bo, I want to buy some seeds from you, bud seeds." ”
The so-called bud rice is corn, also known as bud grain, pearl rice, cob, maize, Li Laosan did not say that Yunzhu wanted to buy corn seeds, only said that he wanted to buy it.
"You buy?" Lin Bo glanced Li Laosan up and down, "You should know that my seeds here are not cheap. ”
"I know, but you can trust the seeds here, you can sell them to me, can't I give you cash?" Listening to what Lin Bo meant, he didn't seem to think that Li Laosan could afford to buy seeds, Li Laosan's face was a little embarrassed, but he still opened his mouth to talk to Lin Bo.
"Let's just say that the people you brought want to buy it, but if you want to buy it yourself, if you have money to make, how can I still make it?" Lin Bo opened his mouth with some disdain, obviously seeing through Li Laosan's thoughts, Li Laosan scratched his head in embarrassment, and introduced Yunzhu and Ning Yi to Lin Bo.
"Okay, I'm not interested in who they are, just give money." Lin Bo waved his hand and choked back Li Laosan's words that were about to exit, he turned around and walked towards the house, and after taking a few steps, he turned back again, "How much?" ”
"Fifteen acres of land." Yunzhu opened his mouth and answered Lin Bo's question, and Lin Bo answered, and then disappeared into the darkness of the room.
"Owner, don't care, Limber is such a temper, although he is not very good-tempered, but the seeds sold in the store are excellent, but the price is higher than that sold outside, but those who have bought Limber's seeds know that his seeds have few problems."
As if he was afraid that Yunzhu would be angry with Ning Yi, Li Laosan opened his mouth to explain.
"It's fine." Yun Zhu waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care, it was normal for the old man to have a strange temper, and she hadn't seen someone with a strange temper before.
Seeing Yunzhu waving his hand, Li Laosan was much more relieved.
After a while, Lin Bo came out of the house, carrying a rather large bag in his hand, and Yun Zhu estimated that it contained corn seeds.
"The corn seeds needed for fifteen acres of land are a total of ten taels of silver, and they will not be sold for a penny." Carrying the bag in his hand, Limber spoke.
"Old man, can I see the seeds?" Ten taels of silver, for the average person is indeed not a small amount, a small family of three, carefully used, I am afraid that more than half a year is no problem.
"Look." Squatting on the ground, Lin Bo opened the bag, revealing the corn seeds in the bag, Yun Zhu leaned in front of the bag, reached out and grabbed a handful of corn seeds, and put them in the palm of his hand to look.
In the previous life, Yunzhu grew up in a farmer's house, and although he didn't necessarily know much about farming, he could also tell whether the seeds were good or bad.
Li Laosan also came closer, but he didn't dare to get too close to Yunzhu, after all, he was a big man, so he always had to pay attention.
Li Laosan is naturally satisfied with the seeds in the bag, and he knows that almost all of them can emerge at a glance.
Yunzhu is also quite satisfied with the seeds, although it is indeed more expensive, but if all the seedlings can be guaranteed, then it will not lose money.
"It's ten taels of silver, you can take it." took out ten taels of silver, Yunzhu handed it to Lin Bo, for her to be so happy, Lin Bo didn't expect it.
After accepting the silver, Lin Bo glanced at Yunzhu appreciatively, "Little girl, you will definitely not regret buying my seeds." ”
"Thank you, uncle, if you need anything in the future, I will definitely trouble you." Looking at Lin Bo with a smile, Yun Zhu said with a smile, Lin Bo nodded, turned around and went back to the house.
"Owner, these seeds can actually be bought for only five taels of silver, but Lin Bo has a rule, people who do business for the first time must increase the price by half, so I said at the beginning that I wanted to buy seeds, but I didn't expect that Lin Bo didn't eat this set at all." After taking the seeds, the three of them walked back, and Li Laosan explained with some trepidation, he didn't expect that this time Lin Bo would still come according to the rules.
"It's okay, it's really good to look at it." Yun Zhu shook his head, and was very interested in what Li Laosan said about Lin Bo's rules.
"You can rest assured, almost all of Lin Bo's seeds can sprout, and what is even more amazing is that his seeds are not easy to be pested, and I don't know what recipe is used, which is also the reason why his seeds are expensive." Li Laosan patted his chest and spoke, and Yun Zhu nodded again and again after listening.
"I'll have to trouble you to help me then." Yunzhu can see that this Li Laosan is a sincere person, if you treat him well, he can definitely repay you ten good, such a person is still worth befriending.
"Boss, you're too polite." Li Laosan smiled innocently, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, looking at his appearance, the smile on Yunzhu's face deepened.
After buying some things in the town, Ning Yi drove the donkey cart to deliver Li Laosan to the door.
"Boss, then I'll go back to the house first, you two slow down." After getting off the donkey cart, Li Laosan smiled at Yunzhu and Ning Yi.
"Third Uncle Li, take these two packs of dim sum back for your aunt and brothers and sisters to eat." took out two packs of snacks from the donkey cart, and Yunzhu stuffed them into Li Laosan's hand, Li Laosan shirked again and again, but he couldn't resist Yunzhu, and finally had to accept it.
Looking at the back of Ning Yi and Yunzhu going away, Li Laosan praised again and again, and found a good owner.
Not to mention that Li Laosan brought snacks home to make the family very happy, just talk about Yunzhu and Ning Yi who rushed home.
"Dad, I spent ten taels of silver to buy seeds today, you won't blame me for spending money indiscriminately, right?" When Lin Bo said ten taels of silver, Yun Zhu knew that the price was very expensive, but after seeing the seeds and thinking of Li Laosan who brought them, Yun Zhu felt that the money might be worth it.
"What's so strange about that? You have always been safe, besides, all the money in the family is earned by you, you can spend it as you want, and my father believes that you will not spend it indiscriminately. Hearing Yunzhu ask himself, Ning Yi said with a smile. Even if he was really deceived, he didn't see that it was a seed. ”
"Don't worry, although I don't understand it very well, but I can see that this kind of seed is really good, expensive things must have a reason for being expensive, Li Laosan also said, the seeds of the Lin Bo family are good, and after we plant them ourselves, we will know what is good." Yun Zhu smiled and spoke, no one could tell what this kind of seed was like before this corn seedling grew.
Only when the corn seedlings grow out, the heading and the sticks are formed, do you know what the hell is, if it is good, you will definitely not be able to lose, if it is not good, the big deal is to spend money to buy a lesson, who can guarantee that you will not suffer a loss? I can still afford this lesson.
Talking and laughing, the two finally went home, and the Yun family had already cooked the meal, so they waited for the father and daughter to come back for dinner.
After washing their hands and changing their clothes, the two sat down at the table, and while eating, Yunzhu told them about today's events.
"Ten taels of silver? This kind of child is really expensive. Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised, she carefully looked at the bag on the ground, no matter what, she couldn't imagine that the seeds were worth ten taels of silver.
Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Yun squatted in front of the bag, reached out to open the bag, and grabbed a handful of corn seeds.
"Not to mention, the seeds of this bud are really good, I remember one year, my father bought some corn seeds, I looked dry, not as full as our family, and I felt that all the seedlings would definitely emerge."
After putting down the seed, Yun sat back on the kang and talked about the past.
"Mother, did grandpa grow buds at home?" Yunzhu opened his mouth in some surprise, looking at the soybeans planted in his grandfather's house now, Yunzhu thought that this soybean had been planted all along!
"I have planted it, and everyone in our village has planted it, but the buds of every household do not grow well, and I can't stand how much food I can't stand, and I can't pay taxes reluctantly, and then I don't plant anymore, and I plant corn instead." Hearing Yun Zhu's question, the Yun clan nodded, and Ning Yi also opened his mouth when he heard what the Yun clan said.
"Your mother is right, your grandparents were still there at that time, and the land was not rented out, and our family also had buds."
"I see." Yunzhu nodded, and suddenly felt a little bottomless in his heart, every family had planted corn before, but there was no good harvest, no wonder when he came back, his father would say that even if the seeds did not grow well, he did not see that they were seeds.
"Dad, mother, since you all know the past, why didn't you stop me from ordering it when I said I wanted to plant corn?"
