Rebirth of a Farming Wife

Xiao Xi's room and board expenses were paid, and then Su Wenyue took out the books, paper and ink brought back to Baofu, the beads and flowers for Da Niu and Er Niu, and small snacks and distributed them to each of them.

Mrs. Liu was also unhappy because her man had reprimanded her. Seeing that her daughter had received something good, a smile immediately appeared on her stern face: "Fourth brother and sister, thank you for spending money on these two girls. These flower heads are so beautiful, I’m afraid they cost a lot of money.”

"It doesn't cost a lot of money, but the style is relatively rare. It is a fashionable pattern in Chang'an City and cannot be bought in Xinye County. I saw it at my parents' house and brought a few flowers back for my two nieces to wear and play with. At this age, I like to dress up.”

With this one tael of silver per month, Xiao Xi confidently lived in the Han family. After all, one tael of silver was a lot. She was a first-class girl of the Su family, and her monthly salary was only one tael of silver. She couldn't Let the lady's money be wasted.

Su Wenyue was exhausted last time taking care of the dowry alone. This time it was much easier with Xiao Xi's help. The master and servant put the more important things in a big box and locked them up.

"Hey, what's in this?" Su Wenyue asked strangely when she saw something half filled in a linen bag. It didn't seem like something her mother had sorted out for her. There was some mud on the bag, which made it look like Not that clean.

Xiao Xi knew it at first glance, and explained with a smile: "Miss, this is the gift that the second young master brought back to you this time."

"This is the gift? Xiaoxi, are you kidding me?" Su Wenyue looked like you were belittling my taste. Isn't the second brother so unreliable? Can this be given to her as a gift?

"Miss, please don't let the second young master down. The second young master knows that you like to eat it most on weekdays. This time he is doing business with a merchant from Fanbang. I heard that these sweet potatoes are delicious when roasted, so I bought them specially for you, young lady. . But this stuff is small, and the merchants from that country also brought it for themselves. It was just half a bag, and they were not ready to sell it. The second young master spent a lot of effort to buy this half bag of sweet potatoes. He originally planned to bake it for you himself. For food, I didn’t know that you were drunk, so you had to bring the sweet potatoes to the Han family.”

"Sweet potato?!" Su Wenyue's eyes lit up when she heard the word sweet potato. She doubted whether she heard it correctly. However, when Xiao Xi said that the sweet potato was bought from Fanbang people, she knew that it was 80% correct. She was excited. He went forward to open the sack, and sure enough he saw big yellow lumps inside.

"It's really a sweet potato! Fortunately, my second brother didn't roast it, otherwise I would have been heartbroken." Su Wenyue was a little lucky that she was drunk, otherwise the sweet potato would have been roasted and eaten. What would she have planted?

"Miss, what are you talking about? You're not too happy and you're talking nonsense. These sweet potatoes are meant to be roasted and eaten. Why are you so distressed?" Xiao Xi couldn't understand why the lady was so excited and giggling.

"Xiao Xi, you don't understand. This is a good thing. We will make a fortune from it in the future. We can also grow these sweet potatoes here, and the yield is very high. Although half a bag is not too much, it is not too much. If we continue to plant it, If you take good care of it, you may be able to harvest hundreds or even thousands of kilograms next year, and the seeds will be enough in the future. Everyone knows what food means to us people these days. Xiaoxi, do you think I am getting rich? !”

How could Su Wenyue, a young lady who knew nothing about grains, recognize these things? Her experience at Zhuangzi taught her a lot. Moreover, although not many people knew Fanshu at this time, she was the beloved concubine Li Fei of Emperor Wu in her previous life. It was discovered and dedicated, which was known to the whole country, and it was famous.

Everyone knows that sweet potatoes are not only good for filling the stomach and have high yields, Li Fei was also named a noble concubine because of this contribution. At that time, Su Wenyue tasted the sweet potatoes and they were indeed delicious. They also used various methods to make them, but after eating them for a while, they got tired of them. Yes, but in order to fill their stomachs, as long as the people have something to eat, there is no such thing as being tired of it.

At this time, she saw this thing by chance. Although she didn't point it out and used it to become famous, if it was really grown and the yield was increased, it might be able to help Han Yu. Li Fei presented This is a great achievement, and he was promoted to a noble concubine. What about Han Yu? There seems to be no other official position above the prime minister. Su Wenyue doesn't know much about these things in the court. After searching in his mind for a long time, he can't find anything. However, in this war-torn world, there are **** everywhere, and the food is extremely In times of scarcity, no one would be dissatisfied with having too much food at home.

Su Wenyue thought about it and asked Xiao Xi to bring a pen and paper. Based on her impression, she also drew another high-yielding grain that Li Fei had donated along with the sweet potatoes. She planned to ask Xiao Xi to send this drawing to her later. The Su family asked her father and second brother to help her look for this crop called corn. If Li Fei could find it, the second brother should be able to find it with his skills, but I heard that it is a product of foreign vassals and has to go to a foreign country. Look over there.

"Miss, are these yellow soil lumps really so magical? This slave has never heard of a crop with such a high yield." The little boy curiously took a sweet potato and studied it. After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't figure out the reason. It seemed that only You won’t know until you plant it.

"Your lady, when did I lie to you? But this matter has to be kept secret for the time being. Just know it in your heart. Don't yell. Everyone knows it. You should send this half bag of sweet potatoes to Zhuangzi immediately and let them plant it." It's still in time for this season's sowing, so I'll assign special people to take good care of it. The lady who does good planting will be greatly rewarded.

"Okay, Miss, I'll do it right away. It's getting late now, and we can't delay planting." Xiaoxi has been with Su Wenyue since she was a child. Although she has never done farm work, she was sold by her parents because her family was in a bad situation, so she knows everything about the land. She was already over six years old at that time and could remember things.

"Wait!" Su Wenyue remembered something again and wrote down the planting methods she heard on paper. At that time, she didn't care much about these things that had nothing to do with her, so even though she heard it next to that person, she didn't remember it all. She only remembered a rough idea, but it should be useful. She wrote down everything she could remember on paper and explained it to Xiaoxi. The rest depended on the old farmer in the village. Even if she asked her, she wouldn't understand.

"Xiao Xi, go back to the Su family first and deliver the painting to my father and second brother, and then go to the farm. The affairs of the farm cannot be known to anyone except your brother-in-law for the time being." Su Wenyue looked outside. No one knew what excuse Wang had found for not going to the fields today. She kept spying on her from time to time. She definitely had no good intentions, so she had better be vigilant.
