Chapter 226: Buying Rice Seeds
The father and daughter didn't wait too long for Yin Jian to come back, but they didn't expect that they were followed by more than a dozen villagers from Jinjia Village.
"Uncle Jin, why did you come to the city together?"
Su Yu couldn't help but be curious when she saw a group of people, as far as she knew, now every family is busy cleaning up the weeds in the field, and the line in front of her is all young and strong in the family, how can they make an appointment to come to the city?
"Miss Su, Master Su, these are all the cows you bought?"
Looking at the eight cows tied behind the two, the villagers were all hot, the Su family bought the cattle, and when their fields were finished, could they go to the Su family to borrow them.
You must know that only the village chief's family has cattle in the village, and in the past, the fields in Jinjia Village did not use cattle at all, and the fields were full of stones, and the cattle could not plow when they went.
But now it's different, all the stones in the field have been cleaned by the government, and there will not be even a small pebble in the field, and the fields in the village can be regarded as high-quality fields, and the cattle can't be used.
"That's right, my family bought it."
"Miss Su is really atmospheric, she can buy eight cows at once."
"That's no way, you also know that I have a lot of land, and I don't rush to buy less spring ploughing."
This is also true, but thinking that the Su family's field is about to have thousands of acres, when will this have to be plowed? They looked at the Su family and borrowed the cow, and they were afraid that they couldn't wait.
"We made an appointment to come to the city to buy rice seeds, and seeing that it is not far from the time of sowing, let's buy it back and put it away."
"I remember that the village doesn't keep seeds every year?"
"Don't mention it, it's not uncommon for Miss Su to plant rice in our village, and everyone is worried that the yield of rice seeds like that won't go up, so they want to come to the city to buy some better rice seeds."
Hearing a few people say this, Su Yu thought of the hundreds of acres of land at home, it seems that his family also has to prepare some, just meet a few people, it is better to buy it together today.
"Then our family will buy it with you later."
"Okay, with Miss Su here, we are not afraid of being deceived. And what else are these cows going to look for, and when one person leads the head, he will lead the family for you. ”
"Then thank you Uncle Kim."
"Miss Su is polite."
"Girl, you follow your uncles to buy rice seeds, and your father stays to watch the cows."
"Dad, you go with us, the place where rice seeds are sold is not far from here, let Yin Jian look at the cow, I don't understand about buying rice seeds, you have to make an idea."
"Yes, Master Su, you can go with us."
"I'm still not going."
"Let's go."
Su Yu didn't say a word and pulled his father away, and gave Yin Jian a look before leaving, Yin Jian couldn't, and could only look at the eight cows here.
More than a dozen people went directly to the largest grain store in Kyoto City, and the big place has this advantage, you can buy anything you want.
In the past, there were no shops selling grain seeds in Xinglin Town, and most of them were left by villagers in the countryside and sold at the market when they kept too many seeds for use.
The villagers in each village planted rice seeds left over from the first year, and some of them exchanged their own rice with other families because they saw that other families were good, or they spent money to buy rice seeds and keep them for rice seeds, and generally few people went to the city to buy them.
The villagers had never been to the shop selling seeds in the city, and they had brought them all the way.
Once when I entered the city, Su Yu found this grain seed store, thinking that in the future, I would come to his house to buy seeds at home, so I remembered the location of the shop.
When the group entered, they saw rows of seeds on the shelves, and their eyes were full of flowers, and it was the first time they knew that seeds could be sold like this.
Su Yu also has to admire the owner of this shop, and it can be regarded as a kind of ability to make such a big seed that is not necessary for the villagers to buy.
There are shelves on three sides of the shop, and there is a grid on the shelves, which resembles the drawers but is not the same, each of which is sloping and contains all kinds of seeds.
As long as the croppers saw so many seeds, they couldn't walk, and at this moment Su Yu looked at the villagers in the village, three or two people around a row of shelves.
The shopkeeper saw the dress of the group and greeted him with a smile.
Now the life of the villagers of Jinjia Village is better, and the clothes on their bodies are no longer patches and patches, although the material is average, but in several villages around Kyoto City, it is considered to be passable, and the shopkeeper is in the shop all the year round, and he knows what kind of people are coming to buy seeds, and what kind of people will not buy.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any rice seeds for sale?"
"My brother is really joking, how can we not have rice seeds in our shop? And there is not only one, there are seven or eight in total, but I don't know which one you want to buy? ”
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, the villagers all gathered around, including Su Yu's father and daughter.
"The shopkeeper has to show us, we have never seen several kinds of rice seeds."
In the cognition of the people in the village, there are only two kinds of rice, one is usually eaten, and the other is glutinous grain.
The shopkeeper led a few people to the right row of shelves, grabbed a handful from the bottom row of buckets, and spread it out in front of the group.
"A few people, please see, this rice seed is what we usually plant, and the yield is not low, but the rice cooked with such rice is a bit hard, and the taste is not very good."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he put the rice seed in his hand back into the original hopper, and grabbed another handful from the hopper next to him.
"Look at this rice seed, it is different from the one just now, the body is more slender, this rice seed is transported by our owner from the south of the Yangtze River, the yield of this rice seed is not as high as just now, but the palatability is very good, and the rich families in the city now eat this kind of rice."
After the shopkeeper's introduction, he grabbed another kind, and when he saw this rice seed, Su Yu's eyes lit up.
"This rice seed is purple, our host got it from Miaojiang, not to mention that the cooked rice is purple, and it has a fragrance, and it tastes like nothing."
The shopkeeper introduced a total of five kinds, and the last two were glutinous seeds.
The two are about the same, and neither is bad.
The villagers were dazzled by what the shopkeeper said, which one is better to buy? They all looked at Su Yu.
The shopkeeper was quite surprised, but he didn't expect that the one in this group who took the idea was a little girl.
"Dad, let's buy the second one, the millet planted must be delicious, plant three hundred acres, plant one hundred acres of purple rice, and plant another hundred acres of glutinous rice. I think my eldest brother wants to open a restaurant, and when the time comes, our family will save money on buying rice. The remaining more than 400 acres will be planted with some radishes first, and when they are harvested in April and May, they can just plant grapes. ”
Su Yu made the family's thousands of acres of fields clear in a few words, what could Su Lao Er say, of course he agreed.
"Okay, listen to the girl."
"Then Miss Su, what do you think we plant?"
