Nongmen fierce wife, this king depends on you

Chapter 166 Planting Peanuts and Soybeans
I have to admire that my aunt Chrysanthemum is a very good helper. Xia Mujin only taught her once, and she remembered them one by one. She was making preparations, and looking at the orchid beans with at least a hundred catties of different flavors, Xia Mujin took a few and tried the taste in a daze, and finally, she had to give her a thumbs up.

Xia Juhua touched her head in embarrassment and smiled naively. With her smile, Xia Mujin found that she was quite similar to her father, especially this naive smile.

The two workshops have already finished their work, and they can start working in a few days. After breakfast, Xia Mujin took the brother and his wife, her father and father, and the pine nuts to the freshly plowed field. Xia Juhua and Yan Zhouwan Keep working at home.

Xia Senlin and Xia Tieshu picked out the plant ash alone. Of course, it was filled with ingredients.

"Jin'er, peanuts and soybeans are grown on such a large piece of land?"

Peanuts have already sprouted fine buds, and if they don't wait for the buds to grow, they will easily break, and it will not be so easy to live. Looking at the huge field, Xia Tieshu asked Xia Mujin hesitantly.

After all, now that the villagers' fields are all back, every household will grow them. Besides, this is not a rare variety that is easy to sell, and the yield is not high, so it really doesn't make much sense to grow it like this.

"Father, don't worry, even if there are more varieties in my hands, they will still be hot sellers."

Xia Mujin's eyes were full of hope, and the eyes were full of gold, which was the color of gold...

When Xia Mujin opened her mouth, everyone didn't hesitate any longer, and planted peanuts and soybeans according to her instructions.

The peanuts were planted after they germinated, so the movement was light, and they had to be inserted into the ground one by one. The distance between each peanut was about as long as a man's foot. These were easy tasks. , pine nuts can also be made, so it is much easier to divide the labor. Xia Senlin uses a hoe to dig a soil ditch about a few centimeters. Around the peanuts, Xia Hibiscus cuttings started to cover the soil after more than a dozen rows. The Queen Mother could not cover the soil, as long as it was covered, Xia Tieshu was responsible for carrying the ash.

The method of planting soybeans is relatively easier. The distance between each seed is about the same as that of peanuts. Each time, four to six bean seeds are sowed, and then they are stepped on, followed by plant ash, and then covered with soil.

After a busy morning, I can plant an acre of land.

"Liulang, why did you come back, you... are you done with the exam?"

At the Feng family, Feng Sanniang is drying clothes in the yard at the moment, and Zhou Cailian's belly is gradually getting bigger. Even though she is wearing thicker clothes, it can be clearly seen that she is feeding the chickens at this moment.

Si Mao was chopping wood in the back room, while Feng Wu was crossing his legs, humming a little song, and smoking dry tobacco.

Suddenly, a figure walked into the yard, and the family was stunned. After a long time, Feng Sanniang said in surprise.

Feng Liulang went to the capital with all the family's money a few years ago. It stands to reason that now is the time for the real exam. Why did he come back at this time, which made the family very anxious.

In just a few months, he grew taller and his skin became fairer. Compared with the boys in the village who work in the fields all day long, he looks much better. Although Zhou Cailian was also puzzled, she still became popular. Zhang face, although the two are already husband and wife, but they did not have intercourse on the day of their marriage, which made her a little concerned.

Although nominally for the sake of the child in the stomach.

But there was a man who didn't like doing that kind of thing, but in her heart she thought that Feng Liulang was always thinking about Xia Mujin.

Besides, the Wang family is down now, and the Xia family is getting more and more prosperous day by day, making everyone in the village jealous. After getting married, the grandmother and mother would come to the door every three days, only him as the son-in-law in his heart, and Although I have grievances, I have gained a lot of face after all.

But he came back rashly...

"Sanggong, have you...have you had lunch yet?"

But no matter how much doubt and anger she had, she still didn't show it on the surface. After looking at Feng Liulang for a while, she put down the utensils in her hands and asked thoughtfully.

It's noon now, and it's been half an hour since they had lunch. If it wasn't for the drizzle just now, the family would be busy working in the fields at this moment.

Having not seen his family for several months, Feng Liulang didn't miss him at all, and was extremely indifferent. He looked at his newly married wife with a sallow face, a big and ugly belly, and her ordinary clothes looked very dazzling. Looking at his own house, he said in a muffled voice, "I don't want to eat."

After finishing speaking, she threw the bundle in Zhou Cailian's arms and walked into the house. Zhou Cailian looked at Feng Sanniang with some grievances, but Feng Sanniang only had her precious son in her eyes, and ignored her aggrieved eyes at all, and went He wiped his water-stained hands on his body a few times and walked straight into the house.

"What are you doing in a daze, let the clothes hang out."

Feng Wu took another puff of his cigarette, and muttered when he saw Zhou Cailian standing there as a god.

Zhou Cailian glanced at Feng Wu complainingly, and then dried the clothes. When she entered the room with an empty wooden basin, she saw Feng Sanniang put a bowl of egg noodles on the table, and there was a layer of Oil blossoms, and the aroma of green onions, Zhou Cailian looked down at her swollen belly, and anger rushed to her forehead.

She is still a pregnant woman, but she has never seen her mother-in-law make eggs for her to eat. Every time she wants to eat something good, her mother-in-law and her family say that these are for sale. There are at least three eggs, and this oil, at least it is oil for a few of them.

It's so bullying, she's pregnant with their Feng family's seed.

"Son, can you just eat a little bit? How can you be hungry?"

But at this moment, Feng Sanniang was very flattering and pulled out Feng Liulang with a lazy face, said nicely, and sat him down. Seeing that he still didn't want to eat, she used The chopsticks poked a small piece of egg and sent it to Feng Liulang's mouth.

Zhou Cailian really couldn't stand it anymore, so she went into the back room with a wooden basin...

At night, the cicadas croaked and the frogs croaked, which was very annoying.

Feng Liulang tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, looked at Zhou Cailian who was sleeping soundly beside him, got out of bed with a frown, and then walked out of the room.

The night was getting dark, but it wasn't the kind where you couldn't see your fingers. There was a faint glimmer of light.

Feng Liulang yawned, then opened the door and went to the latrine at the back of the house. As soon as he came out of the latrine, he saw a figure standing at the door of his house, and it was a black shadow, which made his feet tremble with fright.

"Who... are you...?"

Fortunately, he is not very courageous, at least, in such a situation, he can still utter a line clearly.

The figure didn't turn his head, but said in a strange way: "I know that you have used up all your money because of eating, drinking and having fun, and you have also lost the chance of this exam. If I can let you pass the exam smoothly, and you are the champion, how will you repay me?" I."

Hearing this, Feng Liulang's legs trembled, and he was very puzzled. He had finished playing around, but only he knew, besides, this capital is Kyoto, not to mention the prosperity, even the girls in the kiln know a lot of rules Yes, he was careless for a while, but he is still young, this is not the only chance, he can still take the exam next year, at this moment, after hearing what the man in black said, his heart was about to move, and he immediately said: "Excuse me, what do you want me to do? "

"Cheer up, you just..."

Two days later, Xia Mujin's shop opened.

She gave her a name, called Shiquan Shimei, and made a big plaque.

She opened the business relatively low-key, because most people in this town know her, besides, the first customers are Ye Feng and Su Yanchu, which can be said to give her enough face.

There are not many kinds of goods in the store. There are several flavors of orchid beans, cartoon cakes, and jar dishes, but this portion is quite sufficient. She has collected broad beans from the entire village, at least tens of thousands of catties.

There are also a lot of cartoon cakes. When some regular customers saw her, they spread the news. After a while, people crowded in, and Xia Mujin began to rush in. don't win.

Yan Zhouwan was still dressed in men's clothing, wearing a human skin mask, and was also very busy running up and down.

In just a few days, she and Xia Mujin became good friends who talked about everything.

"Here, these two are good men. I can be a matchmaker if you have a crush on them."

After working for a long time, everyone could finally take a breath. Xia Mujin pointed to Ye Feng and Su Yanchu and asked with raised eyebrows.

Although she doesn't like the Su family, Su Yanchu is still not infected. Although he is a bit treacherous, businessmen say that there is nothing wrong with business. This sentence is really not wrong at all.

"What do you say?"

After getting along with Yan Zhouwan, I found that she is eloquent, has a hot temper, and her temper is not as docile as she seems. If she is angered, she is also a careless wild cat. Seeing what Xia Mujin said, at this moment, But he frowned and said calmly.

Just like that day when she leaned against the door frame to answer Xia Mujin's question if she had seen Shen Muhan, it can be seen that neither of them caught her eyes.

Xia Mujin pouted her lips, and then laughed happily.

She was just making a joke to ease the atmosphere.

"Uncle, a new store has opened."

At the same time, a slightly familiar voice came in, and Xia Mujin followed the sound, only to see Feng Liulang wearing a maroon robe, addressing his father with a pleasant smile.

This robe of his is worth ten taels of silver at least. Xia Mujin frowned and looked at him suspiciously.

"Liulang, aren't you rushing for the exam in Kyoto?"

Of course, Xia Mujin was not the only one who was surprised. All the villagers who knew him were puzzled. When they saw Xia Senlin asking this question, they all turned to look at him.

"Well, this year's imperial examination has been brought forward. I am studying at home, and I will come back after the exam." Feng Liulang was just talking nonsense. passed.
