Chapter 40: Discussing the Sale of Flowers

The training ground is a certain distance from the test field, but it is also very fast to come on horseback, basically after Jiang's mother and grandpa cleaned up, Jiang's father and Jiang Anrao arrived with their uncle Jiang Xi.

A few people dismounted and walked straight inside.

Uncle saw the neat field full of vegetables.

The ridges were so high and low that he had never seen them before.

But this is not in a hurry, he wants to see the flowers that his brother said first.

As soon as he turned his head, the uncle saw the flowers.

Grandpa is filling in the soil for the newly propagated flower seedlings. Because the flowers cultivated under high pressure have roots, put them in a pot and fill them with nutrient soil.

This time, the nutrient soil was reconfigured for flowering. Make sure that the flowers will not fail early due to lack of nutrients when they open.

Looking at the state of the flowers blooming on the mother plant, it is already conceivable that this pot of flowers will be very beautiful after blooming!

"I've never seen this flower before!"

Jiang Xi circled around a pot of peonies, and his tone was a little excited.

At this time, it is the lively time for the nobles in the city to hold a flower party, and such a beautiful flower may be sold for a good price!

"Big brother, we weren't sure if it was a flower before, and whether it looked good or not, so we didn't mention it. Now it seems that this flower is very rare and beautiful. If you pull it out and sell it, will the eldest brother have a way? Dad Jiang asked Jiang Xi.

When the uncle heard this, he looked at the flower and frowned.

If he simply sells the flowers, he naturally has a way. He knew a lot of big businessmen in the north, and those people had a lot of money and a wide market. Whatever he had, as long as they took it, they could sell it at a high price.

But looking at the delicate flowers, he suddenly felt that if he sold them to those familiar big merchants according to his previous habits, they would lose too much.

"In the past, the goods I had were sold to those big businessmen in Beihao, but this cost ......"

Jiang Xi didn't finish speaking, but Jiang's father understood what he meant.

"If you want to make more money with this flower, the best way is to sell it to the steward of the noble mansion. But the stewards of the real aristocratic families are not so easy to see. ”

After thinking about it, Jiang Xi said, "You take care of these flowers, and I'll figure out a way to sell them." ”

Looking at the flowers again, he said, "How long will it take for this flower to bloom?" How long does it last? ”

Jiang Anrao had already secretly handed over to his mother and put away what should be collected, and when she heard the uncle ask, she replied:

"It will take about another 10 days to bloom, and it will last for about 10 days after flowering."

Jiang Xi said:

"That's fine, there's still time."

As he spoke, his mind was already running rapidly, combing through all the resources he could use.

"Get me a pot to make a show, and I'll try my luck in Beihao City. If you really can't sell it for a high price, you have to sell it to the rich merchants before you spend it. ”

When Grandpa heard his words, he picked a pot of peonies that were in good shape, and there was a peony that was about to bloom and bloom, and planned to let him take it when Jiang Xi left later.

After reading the peony, Jiang Xi remembered the land he had just seen.

He walked over to the two acres of experimental fields and looked at what was growing in the field.

Most of them are common vegetables in this season, and there are also some things that look like weeds, and I don't know if my brother's family saw that the weeds were deliberately not removed.

"Why is this happening?" He asked, "Why is it so uneven?" Some are high, some are low? ”

"It's called a ridge. In this way, it is convenient to cultivate intensively.

If you plant crops on the ridge protrusion, if it encounters rain, the water will naturally flow to the recess below, and the rain will not easily flood the seedlings and rot the root system of the seedlings;

And only plant in the protrusion, which is convenient for calculating the number of seeds when sowing and predicting the final harvest;

Also, not planting things in the recesses is to deliberately leave a gap, on the one hand, to keep the seedlings apart, on the other hand, when we need to weed, water, etc., people can walk between the ridges, which can avoid trampling on the seedlings;

When it is necessary to lay soil on the roots of seedlings, as long as the soil is dug from the furrow, the new soil will naturally cover the roots of the crops, saving time and effort. ”

Jiang Xi listened and couldn't help nodding.

Don't look at it as just a small change! He had managed a farm, and he listened to the explanations and tried to apply this method to his own fields, and soon he could figure out how much such ridges would change his farmland!

"An An, this is what you came up with as well?"

This niece is such a baby! Jiang Xi's eyes were shining when he stared at Jiang Anrao!

"Ugh! No, grandpa thought of it! ”

Jiang Anrao was really embarrassed to take the risk of leading the wisdom of his ancestors, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he returned the credit to his grandfather.

"Oh! Lubert thought of it! Jiang Xi looked at his grandfather.

Originally, Jiang's mother and grandfather were poor people without surnames, and their status was a little higher than that of slaves.

Jiang's father fabricated the origins of the next two people, and gave them the surname Lu back, and said to Jiang Xi: The Lu family is a small nobleman who declined eight hundred years earlier than the Jiang family, and now their family does not even have a noble seal.

There is only one surname left, and the family is left with their father and daughter.

To be honest, Jiang Xi has never taken this father and daughter seriously. It was the younger brother who fell in love with the beauty of other people's daughters, so the Jiang family took them in and asked Jiang's father to marry Jiang's mother.

Now that I hear it, such a simple and effective but unique farming method is what the old man Lu Zhou thought of, and then thought of his younger brother, who is not angry, the two children are so good, and suddenly began to re-examine the father and daughter of the Lu family.

My brother is crooked, and he has picked up the baby. A good wife, a wonderful pair of children!

"Lu Bo is talented! That's a great idea! It's too late this year, and the farm will sow seeds again next year, hoping that Luber can teach it! ”

Grandfather:

"It's all a family, you're welcome, of course it's okay."

Jiang Xi used to be very good to Jiang's father's family, and he was quite respectful to his grandfather's original body, so his request was not excessive, and his grandfather naturally would not refuse him.

"Done! I'm going to leave for Beihao City. ”

Jiang Xi is also a doer, and now that he understands everything here, he plans to start the next plan, and he has to go to Beihao to inquire about the situation first.

Let the horse be brought in, Jiang Xi was about to get on the horse, and the horse stepped on the spot a few times, just as the horse's belly turned to Jiang Anrao's side.

Jiang Anrao looked at the mat on the horse's back, and suddenly had an idea, and shouted to Jiang Xi when he opened his mouth:

"Uncle! Wait! ”

"Huh?" Jiang Xi stopped getting on the horse and turned his head to look at his niece.

He likes this pair of nephews and nieces now, and when he heard Jiang Anrao call him, he immediately responded with a smile.

Jiang Anrao walked to the uncle's horse and raised his hand to touch the soft grass hanging down from the horse's mat.

Uncle's horses are on the side of the ranch house, and the horses with mats are all from the pasture.

When Jiang's mother is fine, she will weave some mats with soft grass and fix them on the horse. This way people can ride more comfortably. Uncle also thought the mat was very good, so he rode it.

"Uncle, you say, can this mat be sold for money?"
