When Shen Jingcheng came back, Gu Jin had already finished practicing, and when he saw him coming back with a basket, he stepped forward to look at it and said, "It looks very strong." ”

"Hmm." Shen Jingcheng put the basket aside, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, took her hand and walked into the house together, while saying that Liu Da would be responsible for finding a short-term job.

These days, the two of them are very busy, they come to practice together in the morning, read and practice calligraphy after eating, and then according to the daily farming progress during the break, see if there is a plan that needs to be adjusted, and take time to check the germination of the seeds planted in the field every day, and also record the daily work of the long-term workers at night.

This is also the reason why Shen Jingcheng handed over the matter of hiring short-term workers to Liu Da, they were really too busy to take care of those short-term workers.

Liu Da's speed was still very fast, and he came with more than a dozen Xicun men in the afternoon before going to work.

Shen Jingcheng wrote down everyone's names one by one in the short-term work book, told Liu Da which plot these people were going to work in, and asked him to take people with farm tools and leave.

A few days later, Gao Dazhuang heard that Shen Jingcheng was looking for a short-term job, so he took advantage of the lunch break to find Liu Da again, meaning if he could take him.

Although this can't allow you to cultivate a few more acres of land, you can earn some silver and buy some farm tools later.

But after listening to his words, Liu Da refused very tactfully.

"Da Zhuang, it's not that I don't want to help you, just the one you made last year, aren't you going to Shen Lichang? Besides, there are still many people in our West Village who want to do it and don't get on the line, so why can't it be the turn of the East Village people, let alone you. ”

Gao Dazhuang was almost cried by Liu Da said, but Liu Da just said a word, he didn't have the ability to arrange Gao Dazhuang, he really wanted to do it, so Gao Dazhuang went to Shen Jingcheng by himself.

How can he be so bold as tall and strong, he knows how powerful Shen Jingcheng is, what Liu Da doesn't dare to do, how dare he go to Shen Jingcheng to find himself uncomfortable.

In the end, Gao Dazhuang still left with a bitter face, Liu Da quietly looked at the back of him leaving, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.

He is self-aware, and he has to work for the master's house to make the family comfortable. Otherwise, people can replace him anytime and anywhere.

What's more, Gao Dazhuang didn't want to go to Shen Jingcheng himself, why did he, Liu Da, take this risk for him?

Time passed quickly in the hustle and bustle of everyone, during this period, the fruit trees that were bitten by locusts last year and moved in autumn began to bear fruit one after another, and even the soaphorn trees on the west side of the courtyard also bloomed yellow and white flowers.

When he is free, Gu Jin likes to go out of the yard to look at these flowering trees, and his eyes are full of sparkling light.

The soaphorn and soaphorn thorns on the soaphorn tree can be used for washing clothes and medicine, and they are all silver when they are picked in autumn. Moreover, there are more fruits on the fruit trees this year than last year, so she and Shen Jingcheng naturally can't eat so many fruits, and the rest can also be exchanged for silver.

The more Gu Jin looked at it, the more satisfied she became, looking at the flowers and fruits on these trees, it was as if she had seen a tree full of silver, but she also secretly recited the Buddha in her heart every day.

I hope that this year will have a bumper harvest year, if it is like last year, she and Shen Jingcheng will be miserable.

I don't know if the Buddha she recited worked, or God gave face, until the wheat was ripe, the weather was really smooth.

As the wheat is harvested and put into storage, the apricots on the apricot trees turn yellow-orange-orange, giving off a rich fruity aroma.

When it was ripe, Gu Jin picked one and rubbed it, and the apricot flesh that melted in the mouth was sweet and soft and glutinous, and a fruity fragrance instantly filled his throat.

Gu Jin's eyes lit up, he went home and took a plate and picked two large plates, and after washing it, he asked Zhou Quan's family to send a plate to Jiang Zhengshu, and he took another plate to find Shen Jingcheng, who was still practicing calligraphy in the study.

Entering the study, Gu Jin put the plate on the table, picked up an apricot and broke it, and handed the pulp to Shen Jingcheng's mouth with a smile.

"This apricot is quite sweet, you can taste it."

Shen Jingcheng stopped his pen, opened his mouth and asked her to put the apricot meat in his mouth, chewed it and nodded approvingly.

"Well, it's pretty sweet."

"Right? You say, how about we sell those good ones? While Gu Jin sent the other half of the flesh to his mouth, he also picked up a whole apricot and stuffed it directly into his mouth, and spit out an apricot pit after a while.

"No, if you like it, you can keep it and eat it slowly." Shen Jingcheng said while eating.

It's only the first year that he has eaten the fruit, and he wants her to eat enough.

Gu Jin shook his head and said, "The apricots are ripe too fast to let go, and eating too much will hurt people, let's pick the good ones and sell them, and the rest is enough for me to eat." ”

"Okay, I'll go find someone to collect it tomorrow." As soon as he heard her say that eating too many apricots hurts people, Shen Jingcheng immediately agreed.

Since eating too much hurts people, it is better to sell it early, and she can't control her greed.

Gu Jin didn't notice his careful thinking at all, and while breaking the flesh for him, he ate the apricots one by one and spit out the apricot pits.

Shen Jingcheng looked at her speed of eating apricots one by one, was slightly silent, and immediately changed his mind, put down the pen and pulled her to find a basket to pick apricots.

I have to sell it quickly, just Ah Jin's way of eating, but I don't care about whether eating too much will hurt my body.

Gu Jin didn't know why he suddenly changed his mind, but he also followed him. After all, these apricots are indeed very easy to spoil after ripening, of course, the faster they are sold, the better.

Shen Jingcheng's speed and vision were top-notch, and after a while, he picked a basket of apricots in good condition and walked with her towards the Daqing River in the north.

Because there is a salt field of the imperial court in the east, and it is the busy agricultural season, the salt ships, merchant ships, and grain ships on the Daqing River are constantly shuttling back and forth, Shen Jingcheng does not have to bother to find a shop in the county, so he stood on the bank of the Daqing River and directly picked a passing merchant ship, and raised his voice to talk to people.

It was also at this time that Gu Jin discovered that Shen Jingcheng was still a good businessman, she listened to Shen Jingcheng flickering for a while, and the merchant went ashore.

Fortunately, the merchant was also very satisfied with the color of the apricots, and heard that his family still had several kinds of unripe fruit trees, as well as some old grain that needed to be sold, and dozens of acres of wheat that had just been harvested, so he immediately followed the two back to the West Village with joy.

In the end, the merchant asked for all the ripe apricots of a tree, and also took away all the old grain, as well as a dozen stones of wheat that had just been beaten, and verbally reached a perennial business relationship with Shen Jingcheng.

Gu Jin looked at the empty warehouse, and then looked at the few unripe apricots left on the apricot tree, and he was in a trance like falling clouds.

She really just wanted to sell some apricots in good condition, and she didn't want to sell them all, but she was happy to think that this tree of apricots had been sold for a tael of silver.

One or two pieces of silver, the price at which the harvest of one acre of land can be sold, is it too profitable, right?

Gu Jin looked at the fruit trees, and his eyes became even more eager.

It's all silver, and it's still a decent amount of money.

Thinking so, Gu Jin immediately collected the apricot kernels of the two plates of apricots in the morning, took the shovel and went to the fruit grove to start digging a pit.

She didn't know if these apricot kernels would grow apricot trees, but it was better to try than not to try.

Gu Dajiang came at this time, he looked at Gu Jin, who was digging a pit, and then looked at the few small apricots left on the apricot tree, and he didn't know whether to step forward for a while.

Gu Jin buried the apricot kernel and clapped his hands in satisfaction, and just as he was about to go home, he saw Gu Dajiang, who was only a few steps away from him, but hesitated.

This is a rare guest, except for the year when he just immigrated, he basically had no contact with the Gu family brothers, what is he doing here when he is not harvesting crops in the field?
