Chapter 37: Space Cultivation (1)
"Okay, I got it." Nie Qiu nodded, indicating that she understood, she changed her clothes, and planned to go to the market to buy some seeds before Nie Aifang came back, since this is a mutually beneficial thing, Nie Qiu didn't plan to excuse anything, as for how to pick these plants after they are ripe, how to give them to Nie Aifang, and only tomorrow will make plans.
Nie Qiu arrived at the vegetable market and walked directly to the stall selling seeds, there were bags of seeds, and there were also containers, Nie Qiu had no experience, but she thought, she couldn't see the bags up, so buy them in containers!
She asked her boss for a bag and began to scoop it up with a spoon from the container and fill it in.
"Little girl, do you buy so many mung beans to cook porridge at home?" There was a farmer who was also buying seeds, and he couldn't help but ask when he saw Nie Qiu's actions.
Nie Qiu replied while scooping, "I'll buy it and plant it at home." ”
"Species?" The farmer uncle was stunned, "These mung beans are all sunburned, how can they be planted alive?" If you want to buy seeds to be planted, you must buy them in bags, and these things can be directly used as cooked food, not as seeds. ”
Nie Qiu stopped and made a big red face, "I don't know, it's the first time I've come to buy seeds." "She has lived in the city since she was a child, she has never been to the countryside, even if she goes to the countryside, she has always traveled, she has never done farm work, how do you know how to sell seeds? How to plant seedlings?
"Hahaha, don't blame those who don't know." The farmer uncle picked up a bag of seeds and asked Nie Qiu, "What seeds did your parents ask you to buy?" I'll help you pick the best one. I know what brand of corn is good, what brand of peanuts is good, and what brand of soybeans is good. ”
"Both! Uncle, if you help me pick and choose, I want it. Nie Qiu said happily.
The farmer uncle was stunned, "How much land does your family have?" Will I be scolded when I go home if I buy too much? ”
"No, uncle, you can help me pick it, and I'll help you pay for what you bought, okay?" Picking seeds turned out to be technical work, Nie Qiu never knew that everything in the container could be cooked food, it was a dead seed, and it would not grow.
"I only buy a bag of peanut seeds, and now it's just summer and it's time to plant the second wave of peanuts." After the farmer picked out a dozen bags of seeds for Nie Qiu, he handed them to Nie Qiu, "Where do I need you to pay me?" You little girl, you should be scolded for spending too much money. ”
Nie Qiu shook his head, asked the boss to pack the dozen bags of seeds in his hand in plastic bags, and asked, "Boss, how much are these seeds in total?" ”
"Eighty-five bucks in total." The boss said.
Nie Qiu was stunned, "Seed...... Is it so expensive? "You don't have a bag or two of seeds yet, do you? How can it be so expensive?
The peasant uncle laughed, "Little girl, I just said you don't understand, right?" This kind of seed is much more expensive than what grows, let me tell you, a pound of cowpeas is two yuan, but two taels of cowpea seeds are twenty yuan. ”
The boss also smiled and said, "Little girl, I see how much you buy, and I give you a cheaper price!" This bag of seeds can be planted on two or three acres of land! ”
Nie Qiu's face was a little red, she called not eating the grains of the world, right? She had eaten a lot of food, a lot of dishes, but she didn't know where these things came from. She remembers that someone in college made a joke that she couldn't tell the difference between soybeans and green beans. Now the children in the city, who knows when the rice will ripen and when the wheat will be planted? How many seasons does cabbage have? How many types of green onions are there?
What about her? Isn't she the same?
Nie Qiu opened the bag and took out peanut seeds, cowpea seeds, tomato seeds, and rice seeds. Nie Qiu himself was a little funny, can these things be used for barbecue? You can grow a little to make a vegetable to eat, but you can't buy too much, right?
"Boss, how much does the rest of this cost?"
"Thirty-eight bucks. This is the first time the little girl has come to buy seeds, right? Worth the reward, you wait, I'll send you something. With that, the boss went into the house and came out with a bag of a few taels of black rice, "Why, take these black rice home, cook porridge and eat it, and nourish your blood and qi." ”
Nie Qiu took it with a smile, paid the money and left the vegetable market under the appreciative eyes of the boss and the farmer uncle, and there was another thirty-eight yuan less! She originally only had ninety-nine dollars, but now she has thirty-eight dollars less, and there are sixty-one dollars left!
She looked at the bright sun in the sky and remembered that there was a male teacher born in her cram school who was born in a peasant school, and the teacher had proposed to take students to the countryside to experience life and feel life, but this proposal was rejected by her on the grounds of affecting learning.
In fact, now that I think about it, it's okay to experience the hardships of life, so I can work harder, right? Just like she is now.
When Nie Qiu returned home, Nie Aifang hadn't come back yet, she opened all the seeds, put them in a bag, and entered the space, holding a shovel in her hand, which was the garbage shovel used to sweep up garbage at home.
As soon as Nie Qiu came in, the little rabbit walked to Nie Qiu's feet and rubbed it, Nie Qiu rubbed the little rabbit's fluffy head, then looked up at the sky and asked, "Hu, where can I plant it?" ”
Ju smiled, "It's good if you leave the seeds here, and I'll let them have a suitable place to grow." However, you will have to take out the plastic bags and shovels that you brought into the space, as these things will affect the aura of the space. ”
Nie Qiu nodded and sighed, "To be honest, I haven't done farm work yet, no, it should be said that I haven't even washed my clothes before I rework." "She irons clothes, but she never washes them.
Ju smiled softly, "If you can, you can also buy some animals to raise them, the more living creatures, the stronger the aura will be." ”
Nie Qiu smiled and said, "I know, my mother should be back soon, I'll go out first, goodbye." After speaking, without waiting for Ju to speak, he poured the seeds on the grass and left the space with a plastic bag and shovel.
Sure enough, as soon as Nie Qiu left the space, he heard a noise from the kitchen. When I walked out of the room, I saw Nie Aifang cooking on the balcony kitchen, "Mom, is the car ready?" ”
Nie Aifang scooped up the rice and poured the rice into the pot, "Well, I'll use the new car to go out to the stall tonight, it's just ...... Didn't make dumplings today...... Eh......"
Nie Qiu heard the pity in Nie Aifang's tone, and only smiled and said, "What does it matter?" It's the same next time, I believe everyone knows what happened yesterday, and they won't blame us today, and we will make more dumplings tomorrow. ”
Nie Aifang smiled, "That's right, we'll do a little more tomorrow." ”
