054 Mysterious Merchant

Sheng Jiaojiao heard this, this is not good, every time Qi Hua comes back from collecting medicine from the soil col, he has to pass through the dirt slope in front of the backyard, and the third uncle has been preparing the land in the backyard, and it is easy to find Qi Hua's whereabouts.

Sidewalk:

"If you tear down the fence, it will take some effort, anyway, the land in Zhishou County is like that, it is already barren and about to desertify, and the whole piece of land is the same, I don't think it is better to complete the land on the left side of our house."

The piece of land on the left side of the Qi family was an open field, and horses and mules had been tethered before, so a simple little shed was built there.

Since Qi Erniang began to study the use of straw to make paper, the small shed has been full of straw.

Qi Huan's mule had no place to tie it, so it was always tied to the edge of the vegetable patch in the backyard.

If the medicine field is arranged on the edge of the shed, if Qi Sanniang is free, she can also help Qi Erniang make straw paper together.

So Sheng Jiaojiao said that the piece of land on the edge of the whole shed, the Qi family agreed

While the family was talking, Janeto had no home outside the barracks because he was a military doctor and had been sent to this frontier full of yellow sand for his crimes.

After treating Uncle Qi, he took a medicine box alone and rode back to Xiying.

Early the next morning, Qi Zhang took a few fresh apples and also returned to the West Camp for training.

And the gifts piled up at home and given by the nest were placed in the hall like this, and they were all handed over to Sheng Jiaojiao to deal with.

She asked the people in the family to continue to put it in the hall directly, so that anyone who came to the house could see it.

Early in the morning, Sheng Jiaojiao called Qi Hua into the room, and hinted with his eyes that he secretly went to Xiying and Dongying to deliver vegetables and herbs.

By the way, I went to the village to collect a few pieces of bacon and came back.

Miss Qi sat in Sheng Jiaojiao's room embroidering, and when she saw that Sheng Jiaojiao gave Qi Hua a lot of money, she said worriedly:

"Our family has eaten meat for a few meals, my girl, will it be too extravagant?"

She didn't know that Qi Huan was not only going to buy bacon in the village, but also being secretly sent by Sheng Jiaojiao to Dongying to eat vegetables and medicinal herbs.

Externally, Sheng Jiaojiao only said that Qi Hua was arranged to buy bacon, which was an activity in the village, and the Qi family had nothing to worry about.

"It's okay, let the four guys take it away, the eldest brother said, we will eat meat in the future, it's okay."

Sheng Jiaojiao said, let Qi Hua go out, looked at Miss Qi again, stretched out her hand, and pulled the embroidered cloth with the bandage in her hand, and said:

"A-Niang, don't do it, if you have money, let the ladies in the village do it, beware of burning your eyes."

"Don't spend a lot of money if you have a few dollars, you!"

As soon as the eldest girl Qi let go, she dodged Sheng Jiaojiao's hand to pull the cloth, and then reached out to slap Sheng Jiaojiao's troublesome hand away, and said with a look of disgust:

"It costs money to eat meat, and it costs money to ask the ladies to help with embroidery, how much family business have you two brothers accumulated? We haven't been so bold as to spend like this. ”

She trained Sheng Jiaojiao in her mouth, in fact, for Sheng Jiaojiao to feel sorry for her, Miss Qi's heart was like pouring honey, sweet.

Who knew that Sheng Jiaojiao's ambition was not small, she snorted and said:

"A-Niang, in the future, I will not only let our family eat meat, not only invite someone to do embroidery work to make money, but also buy you a few girls to serve you, wait."

"Yo hehe, you breathe, I don't know that I think our family has made a fortune, and we can buy girls to serve."

Miss Qi said, stretched out a finger and poked Sheng Jiaojiao's forehead, she was not as knowledgeable as Sheng Jiaojiao, holding her own embroidery work, got up and went to the old lady's room to do embroidery work.

Together with Sheng Jiaojiao, it was just to kill time, and the embroidery work was not completed much, but Sheng Jiaojiao had a lot of ideas to spend money.

Seeing that Miss Qi was gone inappropriately, Sheng Jiaojiao sat in her own room, twisted her handkerchief, got up and went out, she walked around the col and looked at the vegetables in the col.

Yesterday, Qi Hua sent a cart of vegetables to Dongying, and early this morning, he drove the mule, and the mule put two large baskets of vegetables, and used the mule to drag the cart, and the cart was also full of vegetables and medicinal herbs.

These consumption have reduced the vegetables in the col by half.

Seeing that there was still a large area of green vegetables in the col, Sheng Jiaojiao decided to take it slow for the time being, or not to plant too many vegetables.

So he poured only a round of water on the medicinal herbs on the dirt slope and went back to the backyard.

Qi Sanniang has really started to prepare the land.

Early in the morning, she didn't have time to care where Qi Jiaojiao went, only to see Sheng Jiaojiao coming around from the backyard, and Qi Sanniang asked:

"Jiaojiao'er, what you said yesterday, you have a way to grow good medicinal herbs, what is the way?"

"I'm going to make fertilizer now."

Sheng Jiaojiao turned around and went back to the backyard, found a wooden bucket, pinched her nose, opened the stone slab of the manure pit, and scooped a few scoops of manure water from it.

Then she went and found some elm and coptis. A large number of medicinal herbs took these things to the side of Qi Sanniang.

"This is the fertilizer you made?"

Qi Sanniang looked at Sheng Jiaojiao while digging the ground.

I saw Sheng Jiaojiao crush those medicinal materials decently and put them all into the dung bucket.

Then he took out a small skin water bladder and poured all the water in the water into the fecal water.

The steps seem quite complicated, mainly those medicinal materials, which Qi San Niangzi can't recognize.

She stretched her neck, looked at the skin water bladder in Sheng Jiaojiao's hand, and asked curiously:

"Jiaojiao'er, what's here? It looks like water. ”

"This is a special dew used to grow herbs, it takes a lot of effort to make, it is colorless and tasteless, it looks like water, but when it is poured in the ground, it is very good for medicinal herbs."

It's actually water!

Sheng Jiaojiao doesn't have anything very good, she can take out a way that can make people amazing, and the messy medicinal materials in front of her are all her tricks.

The so-called essence is just the water she releases.

Looking at Qi Erniang's puzzled gaze, Sheng Jiaojiao explained:

"Oh, this is also the merchant who passed by to sell me, saying that it is this kind of essence dew, which is Jin Guo's fertilizer essence."

She didn't lie, Jin Guo is in the south of Daze, there are fertile fields everywhere, and there are also thousands of miles of rice waves, Jin people can farm, can farm, and the rice grown is soft and fragrant.

In thousands of years of farming experience, Jin Guoren has invented many farming treasures, farming fertilizers, and fertilizer dew. These are rumors among the people of Daze.

However, the current relationship between Daze and Jin is not good, the two countries do not trade, and the people of Daze can't buy those planting treasures, fertilizer essences, etc.

In the previous life, Daze really waited for these fertilizers to dew, and after Yin Ze ascended the throne, Tan Ji led the troops and Jin Guo to fight for three or four years.

Jin Guo was impoverished by Tan Ji, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the initiative to sue for peace, and took these planting treasures, planting fertilizers, and fertilizer essences as tribute and gave them to Daze.

After that, the two countries began to trade and trade, and the private merchants of Daze really started the business of farming treasures in the Jin State.

"This is actually Jin Guo's fertilizer essence?"

When Qi Sanniang heard this, her eyes lit up, she hurriedly dropped her hoe and ran over, picked up the leather water bladder in Sheng Jiaojiao's hand and looked at it and smelled it.

And said:

"I heard that the people of Jin Guo have these things in their homes, which are made after many, many complex and precise processes, Jiaojiao'er, what kind of merchant can he actually pass through the entire Daze and sell Jin Guo's fertilizer essence to us?"

"Merchant, if you walk the streets and alleys, you will naturally sell us what you have, and he may have bought it from someone else."

Sheng Jiaojiao said a little carelessly, and saw that the third lady regarded the water in the skin water bladder as a baby, holding it with both hands.

So Sheng Jiaojiao said again:

"In fact, in my opinion, these Jin Guo's fertilizer essence or something, far less magical than the folk rumors, just a kind of fertilizer, and our fertilizer is almost the same, but Jin Guo's process is more precise."

After all, the water and soil of Jin are good, and the rainfall is also abundant, unlike the terrain of Daze, which is not as complex as the terrain of Daze, and the whole country of Jin is farming, and there is almost no place to live by grazing.

Therefore, Jin Guo is naturally much more advanced than Daze in the study of farming, and the process of fertilizer production is more complicated, also because Jin Guo has such a soil environment, which can give birth to such a process.

This kind of cognition is understood by those in high positions in Daze.

But the people don't think so, because of ignorance and ignorance, many people in Daze put the farming fertilizer of Jin Guo on the altar, and because they can't get it, they feel more and more that this thing is amazing.

Qi Sanniang is in such a state.

She held the skin water bladder with a distressed face, and said to Sheng Jiaojiao:

"I see that you just put a lot of fertilizer essence into it, such a good thing, it shouldn't be able to use so much fertilizer essence, you, it's too wasteful."

Hearing her words, Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't cry or laugh, she nodded and echoed:

"I didn't understand the beauty of this fertilizer dew, but the third uncle's lesson was that the remaining fertilizer essence was handed over to the third uncle for safekeeping."

"Give it to me, I'll keep it."

Qi Sanniang immediately carefully protected the skin water bladder in her arms, but she didn't dare to let Sheng Jiaojiao go anymore.

said to Sheng Jiaojiao again:

"In the future, if there are passing merchants selling such good things, you don't have to ask the price, you can buy as much as you want, and buy as much as you want."

"I saved it."

Sheng Jiaojiao responded with a smile, and when she turned around, she saw Zhou walking behind her.

She hurriedly stepped forward, called Zhou, and pulled Zhou into the house.

One game has not yet worked, and Sheng Jiaojiao is busy setting up the next game again.

She asked the Zhou family not to go to the ground today, and go to the market to find a person named Chaozong to buy a tree.

Chaozong went to live behind the Waste Prince's Mansion.

The people living there are all the servants brought by the deposed prince from the imperial capital, and as long as you inquire a little, you can find out where Chaozong is going.

"Buy a tree?"

Zhou sat on the kang and saw Sheng Jiaojiao take twenty taels of silver to her, she asked with some doubts:

"Jiaojiao'er, what are we going to do when we buy a tree?"

"The eldest brother said that Mr. Chao gave us so many gifts, and we must return some gifts, but a person like Mr. Chao will definitely not accept gold and silver, so let's go to Mr. Chao's brother and give him some silver in the name of buying trees."

"Oh, I see, I see."

It's a return of gifts in disguise.

Zhou didn't understand the meaning of the abolition of the prince, she simply thought that if someone else gave her a gift, then she would give someone else's family a gift in return

Chao Lai definitely didn't accept the original gift, so he went directly to his brother Chao Zong to return the gift.

In this way, there are contacts and contacts, so that Qi Zhang and Chaolai can continue to communicate.

So Zhou immediately got up, picked up the silver barley on the table, and went to the market like a wind.

Sheng Jiaojiao was waiting at home.

In fact, many people don't know that Chaolai, the staff of the abolished prince, made a special trip to win over capable people for the abolished prince and Yin Ze, and there is an extremely mediocre younger brother Chaozong.

Because Chaolai knew that his younger brother had no ink on his chest, and he was a little greedy for small gains, he had suppressed his younger brother all his life, so Chao Zong, who had some business acumen, lived under the reputation of his brother Chaolai all his life.

Sheng Jiaojiao didn't ask the Zhou family to do bad things, she really wanted to return the gift from Chao Lai in disguise, and even asked Zhou to buy trees at a high price from Chaozong, just to make a profit for Chaozong.

To put it bluntly, it is to bribe the nest sect to go and drag the nest into the water.

After arranging Zhou's whereabouts, it was time for the children in the village to come to school.

Sheng Jiaojiao deliberately paid attention to the particularly smart little girl, her name was Lianxin.

Sure enough, the homework she assigned to Lianxin yesterday was done by Lianxin again, not only was it done, but the number of words was more than double that of Sheng Jiaojiao's request.

Looking at the little girl in front of her, Sheng Jiaojiao raised her hand, touched her cheek, and assigned her some new homework, bent down and smiled:

"Lotus Heart? You have to work hard, and if you can finish the homework I assigned tomorrow, I will reward you tomorrow. ”

Lianxin looked at Sheng Jiaojiao seriously and said:

"But the gentleman has already rewarded us with a pen."

"This reward is different."

Sheng Jiaojiao touched Lianxin's head, smiled and watched her salute and leave.

In this way, in the afternoon, after the whole family had lunch, Qi Huan came back, he finished delivering the goods to the barracks in a hurry, and took Sheng Jiaojiao's copper coins, went to the villagers' homes in Loess Village, and collected a bunch of bacon back.

Old Mrs. Qi specially called Sheng Jiaojiao over and asked:

"Which passing merchant did you buy apples from yesterday? Is such a delicious fruit expensive? ”

"It's okay, is it delicious? I'll go to the entrance of the village in a moment, and maybe I'll meet the merchant from yesterday, and I'll buy some apples and come back. ”

Sheng Jiaojiao can tell nonsense with her eyes open, she has the same set of lies, she can have several kinds of words to different people, and she can also have this ability, so that everyone believes what she says, and she also feels that what she says is very reasonable.

Anyway, the merchants, walking the streets, who knows what treasures they have in their hands.

The mysterious merchant, in the eyes of the world, has a magical treasure chest.
