Exiled to Lingnan, the Crown Prince's wife raises children, cultivates the land, and leads the

"No one in the village has ever grown this before, so they certainly won't spend extra money to buy seeds to grow it."

Zhuang Lizheng said tactfully, "Besides, we grow a lot of edamame along the roadside."

Edamame is great! When it's young, you can eat it as a vegetable. If you can't finish it, you can dry it all and sell it as soybeans!

Since they couldn't sell their soybeans, they made all sorts of bean-based foods.

Therefore, besides farming and growing sugarcane, the most common crop grown by every household is edamame.

"Sorghum can be ground into flour, and it tastes pretty good. Peanuts, corn, and tomatoes—who knows, we might not have them in Lingnan, but we could still make money from them!"

Cheng Qiqi said with a smile, she was certain in her heart that peanuts, corn, tomatoes, these things could definitely be sold for money!

There are several ways to prepare peanuts: raw peanuts, boiled peanuts, and peanuts as a snack.

Peanuts are a great snack to enjoy with drinks.

If you add sugarcane vinegar to make a spicy and sour peanut dish, it's definitely the best snack for drinkers.

Corn goes without saying; it's a high-yield, high-quality crop. If you can't finish eating all the corn, you can dry it and make cornmeal, which is also a grain that stores well.

Tomatoes, her favorite!

It's good whether eaten raw or cooked, but when it comes to tomato sauce, my daughter wants sweet and sour pork ribs, and this tomato sauce made from tomato juice tastes so authentic!

"We don't even have time to grow edamame anymore, so we'll stop."

Zhuang Lizheng's refusal was decisive.

Leng Yu also shook his head and said, "We still need to plant sugarcane."

Besides growing grains and vegetables, the Leng family only grows sugarcane.

"Lord Zhuang, why don't you ask the villagers?"

Cheng Qiqi didn't want to think that once she grew them and made money, the villagers would start to be envious again. She said, "I think what that overseas businessman said is very good. These will definitely be good if they are grown."

Zhuangli was watching her determined expression.

Marquis Zhongyong said, "Yes, let's invite the villagers to come and take a look. What if some of them really want to plant it?"

Zhuang Li couldn't persuade them otherwise, so he called for everyone in the village to gather.

Because of the money-making opportunity at the sugar mill, everyone gathered quickly. By the time they learned that Cheng Qiqi had bought grain seeds from overseas merchants, everyone's gazes toward Cheng Qiqi began to change in various ways.

Even Madam Cheng has her moments of lapse in judgment?

Madam Cheng is good at making money in business, but how could she possibly succeed in that kind of land?

Don't be fooled by overseas businessmen; you'll end up working hard in the fields and getting nothing in return.

Cheng Qiqi explained each type of grain, but the refusal was still unstoppable. Everyone found an excuse to refuse, and in the end, as many as 70-80% of the people refused.

The few people who remained were pitifully few.

"Qiqi, I'll buy a little of everything you mentioned and try planting some."

Sister-in-law Rong smiled at Cheng Qiqi. When she first started selling mustard greens to the Jin family, she made quite a bit of money for her.

Later, they sold cabbages, and both of their sons went to work in the sugar mill to earn money. They all benefited from the Jin family's influence.

"I'll have some too."

Village head's wife, Tian, ​​said, "I don't want sorghum. I want peanuts, wheat, and persimmons. I'll go and plant them. Maybe the children will like them."

The old woman also bought some seeds.

"..."

Finally, Cheng Qiqi left behind a large portion of the seeds, and Wen said, "Qiqi, I also want to buy some to plant."

"And me too."

He and Li said in unison that the sugarcane and the fields were planted by all of them together, so they couldn't let Cheng Qiqi plant all the seeds. They wanted to plant some too, regardless of whether they were good or bad.

"OK."

Cheng Qiqi generously shared, since she still needed to find a way to cultivate the seed.

"These need to be planted as soon as possible. When Heitu and the others left, they left some people behind. Tomorrow, they will send people to clear the wasteland."

Marquis Zhongyong took the initiative to speak up: "The few of us will work hard for a few more days, just like before, and plant more grain. When autumn comes, the harvest will be even greater."

"Dad, don't worry, I definitely won't slack off."

Jin Yanzhi's face had darkened considerably, making him look completely different from his former fair-skinned and delicate appearance!

"Okay, do a good job!"

Marquis Zhongyong encouraged everyone, saying, "Everyone, go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow to go farming."

No one in the Jin family objected, and everyone left early to go home and rest.

Lin Huilan muttered, "Yanzhi, will these things even grow? Will we have planted them for nothing?"

"Young lady, my sister-in-law said it can be planted, it definitely can."

Jin Yanzhi lay down on the bed in the room and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, not giving Lin Huilan a chance to speak at all.

Lin Huilan: "..."

She raised this son for nothing!

As night deepened, Cheng Qiqi made an excuse to check on the seeds and placed them all in her spatial dimension to nurture them. Perhaps the fertile soil in the space would make these seeds more vigorous?

She searched through some more information and figured out how to prepare these seeds for germination. She thought to herself, "My space is really great!"

Without this information, she would probably be completely lost and wouldn't have the confidence to buy all the seeds.

She stretched before going back to her room to rest.

"Sister Qiqi, An'an is already asleep."

Chun Tao carried a basin of water and said, "The water for washing up is ready."

"Chuntao, you don't need to do these things."

Cheng Qiqi had lost count of how many times she had corrected Chun Tao. In fact, keeping Chun Tao around was a good thing for her, as it meant that more of the housework could be shared, making things much easier for her!

"Sister Qiqi, I'm already very happy to stay. If you don't let me do any work, I definitely won't be used to it."

Chuntao said with a grin, "Sister Qiqi, I'm very happy doing this, I'm not tired at all!"

"..."

Cheng Qiqi wiped her face and rinsed her mouth. After she finished her busy work, she asked, "Chuntao, in the village, no one's trying to take advantage of you anymore? Or bullying you, right?"

"no."

Chun Tao shook her head and said, "Everyone has been very kind to me."

"So, do you have someone you like?"

Cheng Qiqi leaned against the wall, and the moonlight shone in through the roof tiles, making the room appear hazy.

"no."

Chun Tao quickly replied, "I want to stay with Sister Qi Qi and An An for the rest of my life! I will never get married."

"If you meet someone you like, just tell me, and I, as your older sister, will prepare a dowry for you."

Cheng Qiqi thought that if Chun Tao met a man she liked and who was suitable for her, she would definitely marry him!

"Sister Qiqi, I don't want to get married."

Chun Tao pursed her lips and said, "My mother died giving birth."

"..."

Cheng Qiqi fell silent. Let alone ancient times, even in modern times, childbirth is a brush with death.

……

"Sister Zhengzheng?"

When Cheng Qiqi saw Chu Zheng bringing Tangtang over early in the morning, she was stunned!

It's only just dawn, isn't it?
