The day before leaving, Pearl gave Erniu a gift, a sword that sharpened iron like clay. This sword was obtained by Pearl from Shopkeeper Liu, and he didn't dare to move the sword in the space, so he was a little reluctant.

The quality of the few swords in the space is a little higher than the quality of the two swords that he and Shopkeeper Liu got from them. Because modern swords, especially the five that were obtained in '99, have been added with modern technology and process materials, with better toughness, patterned steel, with 7,000 to 8,000 layers, completely handmade. The scabbard is high-quality ebony, gilt decoration, the best two, one is called the Supreme Sword, and the other is a Qiankun Sword, both with blood grooves and blades, all of which were obtained in the ninety-nine years, and these five in the ninety-nine years were all built by famous teachers, and the craftsmanship was improved. These nine swords are completely rusty, and they all have blood grooves and are bladed.

And the two that he bought with Shopkeeper Liu, the craftsmanship is even older, and Pearl tried all these eleven swords. The best thing is the five swords that I got in '99, with short hair! The sword that Pearl gave to Er Niu this time was one of the two swords that Shopkeeper Liu obtained. Gilded and inlaid with precious stones, it has reached an extremely sharp level, which is rare in the world.

Pearl told Erniu that this was for Bai Sixian's meritorious service, and he was not allowed to give away the sword. If you rely on your relationship to get to the top, not only will your subordinates not be convinced, but you will not go far. Erniu agreed with tears in her eyes, the value of the famous sword, she also knows that she has been married to Bai Sixian for so long, and Erniu understands how much he loves and attaches importance to weapons.

Pearl went home, and it didn't take long for the first batch of sticky corn planted to ripen, and the people from Zhuangzi came to inform them and sent a letter to their mother's family, asking them to pick them up. Pearl told her family that she was going to the city to find a market for her corn. Wang, of course, agreed. It just so happened that Liu Hai had another ten pots of flowers to send, so he took the pearls to Zhuozhou.

The two of them arrived in the afternoon, Liu Hai went to deliver flowers, put the pearls in the treasure shop and left. Ten sticky corn sticks were placed in the frame of the pearl, and when he entered the store, Qi Decheng greeted him with a smile.

"Little lady, what good things are coming to me?"

"Send you something, give." Pearl handed the basket over.

Qi Decheng had never seen corn, and looked at Pearl a little strangely, and Pearl said with a smile, "This is corn, sticky corn, only ten days a year is the best time to harvest sticky corn." Corn is the most tender and tasty during this time. You take it to the kitchen, cook it, and eat it. Serve me two dishes, wait for my brother to come, and then have to complain. ”

Qi Decheng will come to trouble! While instructing the work to serve a few good dishes, he asked people to go to the inn to say hello and ask them to prepare the room and bath water.

It didn't take long for the bangs to come back, and now it's almost the flowering period, and the price of the flowers is afraid that it will, regardless of the bangs or the happy return, telling the pearl, or ten taels of silver a pot, which is also thanks to the good and rare varieties of flowers he planted, which got the original price, and this time it was 100 taels of silver.

Early the next morning, Qi Decheng greeted Pearl at the door,

"Little lady, you're here, how was your rest yesterday?"

Pearl smiled and said, "That's not what you're here to ask!" How was yesterday's corn eating? ”

"Oh, little lady, come, let's go to the private room and talk about this corn."

Pearl smiled and nodded, and followed Qi Decheng into the private room with bangs.

The business is very smooth, the corn is divided into three phases, each corn cob sells for 500 Wen, if Zhuozhou can't sell, you can send the horse to the capital quickly, if you use the fast horse to hurry day and night, the time of five days will come. This way, there will be no problems with the texture of the corn.

Pearl signed a contract with them, and Qi Decheng had to send someone to guard the field, in case someone stole it, the loss would be great. At that time, ten taels of silver were a strong laborer, but because there were still women, children, old and young, thirty families, only 400 taels were spent. This sticky corn, they are the only ones in the world who grow! Even if there are people who grow corn, it will not taste as sticky corn. After that, Pearl took the gift from the shopkeeper Qi and went home in an ox cart.

The people of the Ming family are waiting for the pearl to come back! When they arrived home, it was already evening, and Qi Decheng gave two pearls of silk, four boxes of snacks, a well-killed sheep, and two jars of good wine. After Pearl arrived home, he sent the mutton to the kitchen and gave the wine to the old man of the Ming family. Dim sum was given to Feng Shi for a box and Wang for a box. I gave Yu'er a box, and the rest was given to myself. There is no division of silk, and the pearl looks at this silk, a moon-white and a concubine-colored silk, all of which can be used for their own embroidery, so they are all left.

The next day, Qi Decheng took people to go, and Pearl asked Liu Tonghammer and Liu Hai to follow, plus the people on Zhuangzi, and soon collected the ripe three acres of sticky corn. A total of more than 15,000 corn cobs were obtained, and the real fraction was removed. Qi Decheng gave Pearl 7,500 taels of silver, and Pearl asked Liu Tonghammer to build people's houses according to the drawings. The remaining 7,500 taels of silver.

After that, there was a second and third batch, leaving some seeds, don't underestimate this sticky corn, although the tender ordinary corn is also delicious, but if compared with sticky corn, the taste is not a grade. Even if you don't eat good food, you can quickly distinguish it next time you eat sticky corn. In fact, rich people, what they eat, what they ask for is to pay attention to it, and taste the taste to their bones. When corn began to be promoted, sticky corn appeared like this, and then compared, and the superiority was immediate.

Pearl now has 235,840 taels, which is invested in the construction of Zhuangzi, spent 200 taels to ask Mr. to build a school, do loyal ideological work, learn to read and settle accounts, but also learn to socialize, no talent invited Master Wu, let them be a nurse. Now the person who manages Zhuangzi is called Qiao Dazhu, more than forty years old, he has a son Qiao Zhu is only sixteen years old, very clever, back and forth to help Pearl send things a few times, gradually, Pearl has the heart to cultivate him, let him be a small servant for Ming Qian in the future, for this, specially let him go to school, but also invited the master outside to talk about the officialdom and the yamen. Pearl Mingqian's support can't be said to be exhausted! I hope that Mingqian will appreciate it when the time comes. It's good if she doesn't do too much.

Pearl is really worried, if she manages too much and interferes too much, her husband will be disgusted, and she will be more careful in the future? Or do nothing at all? Whether it's yourself or a second girl, you're all afraid of one thing. That is, it is too much to pay, and it is better not to get anything in return, not to mention, it may really raise a white-eyed wolf. Pearl is not good-tempered, after Erniu also put forward the same opinion, she directly said that she would never be used to white-eyed wolves, and she would rather die than tolerate the villain when the time comes.
