The Space Doctor Became the Favorite of the Exiled Powerful Minister

Chapter 27 Fertile Land

“Nonsense, Sister Jiang is so beautiful, Brother Cui must like Sister Jiang.”

“Daquan, how old are you? Do you know what liking is?”

 …

 The children were discussing something.

Jiang Zhiluo heard a few words and couldn't help but smile. Children are really childish, and there are many who don't understand enough.

Similarly, people in the village have no time to rest, and there are no entertainment programs on weekdays. If anyone in the village has something new, within a day, the whole village will know about it.

 If adults don’t pay attention to what they say in front of children, children will naturally listen to their words and remember them in their hearts.

 On the way to the town, there are some fields that are a little deserted or have some weeds growing there.

Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but ask: "Mom, are these fields the land of our village?"

Mrs. Cui shook her head and said: "These fields are relatively poor. Regardless of whether they grow vegetables or grains, the yield is relatively low. They may be busy for a whole year. When the autumn harvest comes, they will only harvest a little more grain. It is not cost-effective." "

“These are the lands that have not been sold by the Yamen. The land in our village is to the east of the village and the front and rear areas. Some are high-quality fields and some are medium-sized fields.”

“The best fields, the ones with high grain yields, are also good for medium fields, but this kind of bad field is not economical to work on for a whole year.”

Based on the memory in her mind, Jiang Zhiluo knew that the tax on land and food nowadays is relatively low, and it would be cost-effective to buy land to grow food.

 She has space and doesn’t have to worry about food production.

 As long as the things unearthed in space are planted in fields outside, both seeds and crops will have strong adaptability to the land environment.

And if you use water mixed with spiritual spring water to irrigate the ground, it can improve the quality of the soil and turn bad fields into high-quality fields.

Jiang Zhiluo searched the memories in her mind and said, "Mom, does the top-grade farmland here cost five or six taels of silver per acre?"

Mrs. Cui said: "We are close to the dock in the town, and the land is more expensive. An acre of good-quality land costs six taels of silver, and an acre of medium-sized land costs 40 taels of silver."

Once Madam Cui thought that farmland was so expensive, she gave up the idea of ​​buying land.

She also wanted to buy a field, but she didn’t have any money and didn’t dare to think about buying a field.

 The family only has one acre of land, so they can only plant it first.

 The land that has been reclaimed is different from the real farmland.

 They can only plant but cannot buy or sell, which means the land does not belong to them.

But the fertility of the reclaimed land is pretty good and much better than the bad fields. At least food is grown and the yield is pretty good.

Jiang Zhiluo knew that the Cui family could only use the one acre of land they had reclaimed.

And it took a lot of effort to open up wasteland.

This is an imaginary place in ancient times. Farming tools are simple, and land reclamation is not as easy as it was in the technological age.

That one acre of land is simply not enough to grow some food.

 This is a cold northern land, and most farmers grow winter wheat.

Even the Cui family’s acre of land is planted with half an acre of winter wheat. When spring comes, Mrs. Cui also plans to plant some peanuts, corn, red beans, mung beans, and some vegetables.

 After all calculations, one acre of land is not enough, so we can only save some.

　　It is now February. After the rains in March and April, it is time to start plowing and planting.

Jiang Zhiluo naturally wants to take advantage of this time to buy more fields so that she can plant something.

 It’s better than buying.

 Even if the time comes, it will be cost-effective to hire people to work in the fields.

 The labor force at this time was relatively low. Everyone went to work at the dock. After a whole day of hard work, they might only earn twenty or thirty cents. It was still the hardest work.

If you are in a village, you can ask villagers to help build a house. Most of them will not pay you any wages. You will just find people to work during the slack time and take care of the food.

 The rice is not a good meal either.

Jiang Zhiluo did the math in her mind and wanted to buy a field more and more. “Mother, how much is an acre of land like this?”

Mrs. Cui was stunned for a moment, looked at Jiang Zhiluo, and then explained: "It seems like two taels of silver per acre, but most of it is rocky and sandy land. Two taels of silver is a bit expensive, if it is not close to the dock in the town. , the price is not that expensive.”

 Jiang Zhiluo knew what was going on.

 She is not afraid of sand or rocky ground.

 In fact, sandy land is suitable for growing grapes, watermelons and other fruits, as well as peanuts and yams.

 In this era, there are not as many types of fruits as there were in the technological era. Fruits here are rare.

 Grapes and watermelons are extremely rare.

It would be very convenient if we could buy a few more acres of land to grow grapes and watermelons.

 But if grapes and watermelons were grown here, they would be too conspicuous.

So Jiang Zhiluo still needs to think carefully about what to plant.

 And we must first get these fruit seeds.

But no matter what idea you have, you must first make money.

Just thinking about things on the way, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui came to the town.

It was around eight or nine in the morning, and the pier was extremely lively. There were many people setting up stalls, and everyone was shouting.

 Beside the pier, many ships docked, allowing people to carry goods.

There are many people coming and going.

Mrs. Cui has only set up a stall selling eggs and vegetables at the town market before, so she doesn’t have much experience.

She looked at it and said, "Zhiluo, let's go to the market in the town. There are many people there."

Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "Mom, let's try it here first."

Jiang Zhiluo walked with a basket in her hand and shouted: "They are selling brown sugar. They are selling brown sugar. Does anyone want brown sugar?"

“Brown sugar that nourishes the body, women drink it to get better health...”

Jiang Zhiluo's voice is clear and loud, and when she shouts on the busy pier, it is different from the voices of some small vendors, and it sounds particularly unique and pleasant.

Mrs. Cui was stunned.

She followed Jiang Zhiluo, and because she was thin-skinned, her face turned red when everyone looked at her.

 She rubbed her clothes gently with her hands uneasily.

 Mrs. Cui came to the market to sell eggs before, and she had been mentally prepared for a long time before coming.

　　But even so, setting up a stall to sell things means just sitting there, and when someone comes to ask, she talks, but no one comes to ask, so she does not speak.

Even if she sets up a stall to sell eggs, she may have to sit there all day. Sometimes she may not be able to sell a basket of eggs even if she stays there all day.

Later, when Mrs. Cui was ill, Cui Hejin went to town.

Probably because Mr. Cui Hejin is so unparalleled in the world, he doesn't have to say anything, and people rush to buy things, so that everything is easy to sell.

 “Is there anyone who sells brown sugar?”

 “Are you really selling brown sugar?”

The women heard brown sugar at the tip of their ears. They were afraid that they heard it wrong. After hearing it twice, someone ran to Jiang Zhiluo and said, "Girl, do you really have brown sugar here?"

“How about the brown sugar in your hand? Can we take a look?”

Jiang Zhiluo opened the cloth on the basket, revealing a little brown sugar, took out a piece and put it in her hand to show everyone.

Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said to everyone: "Look, our brown sugar is sweet and good for your health. It costs two cents a piece."
