My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

Chapter 539 Chapter 539: Grain Seeds

Xu Chunshan pretended to be confused, "Liangzhong? Why did Mr. Cheng suddenly ask this?"

Mr. Cheng's face was flushed and he became excited again, "Uncle, look! The rice in this rice field is growing really well! I just weighed the ears of rice, and I roughly estimate that this acre can yield at least seven stones!"

"Qishi? Mr. Cheng, are you telling nonsense?"

Mr. Chen couldn't help but question when he heard this. He worked in the Ministry of Household Affairs and knew the most about the annual grain output of various places. Even in Qingzhou, which produces the most grain every year, the yield of an acre of high-quality fertile land is only more than four stones. That’s all.

The fields in Balizhuang are high-quality fertile fields. Even if they are better than the high-quality fertile fields in Qingzhou, it is impossible to grow two or three kilograms of grain!
This is really a fantasy!

Mr. Cheng was really excited, so he couldn't help blowing his beard when he questioned Mr. Chen, "The harvest will be harvested in a few days. Mr. Chen will come with me by then, and we will know after we meet him! What do you think, Mr. Chen?" Do you dare to bet with me?"

Mr. Chen really didn't believe it, so he agreed to make a bet, "How about I bet Mr. Cheng's Runan Cheng Inkstone?"

When Mr. Cheng heard him speak, he said that Fang Chengyan had obviously been interested in him for a long time. This Chengyan was given to him by the emperor before. He didn't like to write and write, and his son was not good at studying. His grandson was quite knowledgeable, but When I was still young, I thought I would give this inkstone to my grandson when he was older.

But, he can’t lose this bet!

"No problem! Then what is Mr. Chen betting on?"

Master Chen obviously felt that he could not lose. He waved his hand and said boldly: "I heard that your son is proficient in martial arts. It just so happens that I have a bow called Wan Yue in my hand. I think he will like it, so let's bet on it!"

Mr. Cheng has two sons. The eldest son has already married and his grandson is almost ten years old. The youngest son is a late comer and is only eighteen years old this year.

The eldest son was as pragmatic and good at farming as he was, and he followed the same path as him, but the second son liked to wield swords and guns since he was a child, so he hired Mr. Wu for him and planned to follow the path of a military general.

He definitely likes this bow!
Master Cheng agreed without hesitation, for fear that Master Chen would regret it.

He has won!

"Excellent, excellent! That's the decision!" Mr. Cheng clapped his hands and laughed. He turned to look at Xu Chunshan and said, "Uncle, I wonder when the harvest will be done in this farm? Maybe we can come and watch on the harvest day?"

Xu Chunshan saw that the two adults had made a bet even after they disagreed. They had already decided on the day of harvest without him opening his mouth. He couldn't help but nodded in his heart.

On the face, he said: "Master Cheng said that this rice field can produce seven stones. I am also very curious. It is a pity that we will set off the day after tomorrow. We will not be in the capital during the harvest and cannot witness the high yield that Master Cheng said. However, if It would be a good thing to be able to have such a high yield as the adults said!

Well, when the time comes, I will ask the housekeeper to come with the two adults to observe the harvest. "

As he spoke, he said nonchalantly: "At that time, the two adults can do whatever they want, and I will tell them to obey!"

After receiving his affirmation, Mr. Cheng was naturally overjoyed. He nodded in agreement and couldn't help but said: "It would be great if my uncle didn't leave the capital. This is a high yield. This matter - I want to report it to the emperor immediately. Also, I don't know. Where did you buy the grain in this village?"

This Bali Village was an imperial village before, and he didn't pay much attention to it. But since it is an imperial village, if it really produces high-yield grain, I'm afraid the emperor would already know about it.

In this case, it can only be that the grain type is different.

Xu Chunshan first responded: "If it is really highly productive, if Mr. Cheng wants to report it to the emperor, just report it to the emperor. I have no objection."

Then he was stunned again, shook his head and said, "Grain seeds? I don't know either?" Of course he knew, but he couldn't tell.After saying that, he asked Ji Fu to go and call Zhuangtou over for questioning.

While waiting, we couldn't stand at the edge of the field all the time, so Xu Chunshan proposed to go to Fenglin first.

Mr. Cheng reluctantly looked back at the endless rice fields, wishing that they could be harvested immediately.

Seeing him like this, Mr. Chen also looked back. Looking at the rice fields that looked nothing special, he couldn't help but shook his head. He would not lose. Even if he lost, it would be just a bow, but he could find High-yielding rice is a blessing to the people and a blessing to the Yan Dynasty.

The head of the village came soon. Of course, the head of the village was not in charge of the palace before. The people who managed the village were all servants sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After the empress gave the village to Xu Yinyin, she withdrew everyone back to the palace. Went in.

Now the people in this village are all people arranged by Xu Yinyin after she got this village. The head of the village is Xu Yinyin's carefully selected capable person, and he can be regarded as a confidant.

Xu Yinyin had already given him instructions, so when Master Cheng asked him urgently where the grain came from, he acted calm as usual and showed no signs of anything strange.

"Sir, this grain was bought at Maoji Grain Store in Xicheng."

Maoji Grain Store?

Mr. Cheng knows that there are many grain shops in the capital, but he has never heard of Maoji Grain Shop. If there was such a good grain, it would have been publicized long ago. How could it not be famous?

Then he asked Zhuangtou many details about the planting and management of the rice fields. After asking them one by one, there was no difference. After over and over again, the problem must still be with the grain seeds.

He secretly made a note of this Maoji Grain Shop, thinking that he would go and have a look at this grain shop when he got back.

While Mr. Cheng was holding Zhuangtou aside to ask questions, Xu Chunshan had already rolled up his sleeves and started moving his hands.

The charcoal fire was prepared by someone below, and the mutton was cleaned, marinated and skewered according to his instructions. He just rolled up his sleeves and started grilling, which saved a lot of trouble.

Although the purpose of his visit today has been achieved, having an open-air barbecue or something is also an interesting thing. Everything is prepared and everyone is invited, so naturally he has to go back to his full enjoyment.

After a large amount of mutton was roasted, Xu Chunshan gave up his seat and asked Ji Fu to continue roasting for him. He sat over and drank and ate meat with Zheng Mingzheng and others.

The blue sky and white clouds, the wind and the sun are beautiful, a few friends, drinking and having fun are really one of the great pleasures in life.

They were all good drinkers and really enjoyed themselves. The barbecue party lasted until the afternoon, and everyone was red-faced and extremely drunk.

Fortunately, they were all good drinkers, so there was no such thing as drunkenness.

The entourage hurriedly carried their masters back to the village, fed them the hangover soup, and then they fell asleep.

I slept until mid-afternoon. It was getting late, so I managed to wake up from the wine. I quickly took the carriage back to the city. If it were later, the city gate would be closed, and I would not be able to return to the city today.

Xu Chunshan returned home all the way, his head still groggy, but he did not forget to send a little girl to Tinglan Courtyard to tell Xu Yinyin that the matter was settled today, no problem.
