The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

During this season, most of the products sold in farmers' markets are fertilizers and pesticides. Seeds are out of season after all, but some bosses still have a lot of seeds left unsold.

When the boss heard that someone was buying seeds, he thought he had met a fool.

What seeds to buy this season?

But as a business, there is no reason not to sell.

So Su Wanwan was able to buy wheat and soybean seeds easily. Since she bought a lot, she discussed with the boss about having them delivered to her door.

In addition, she also bought several large bags of fertilizer.

I also forgot to ask how many acres of land Shen Yuan's family has. I wonder if these fertilizers are enough.

And why did Shen Yuan only want wheat and soybean seeds? Are these the only two crops they grow there?

Su Wanwan had already walked out of the farmers' market, but suddenly turned back.

She almost forgot!

corn!

Yes, the crop of corn was introduced to China only in the Ming Dynasty. I guess Shen Yuan and his people must not have it!

And sweet potatoes, oh my, this crop is the one that should be the best.

Sweet potatoes have a huge yield and can be cooked in a variety of ways, so they can be eaten in many different ways and are very filling.

I remember my grandmother said that many people of her generation survived by relying on sweet potatoes.

However, sweet potatoes need to be grown as seedlings. This is not a big deal. Just buy some sweet potatoes and when the temperature is right, they will naturally sprout.

So, Su Wanwan bought a few more bags of corn seeds and ran to buy two large bags of sweet potatoes.

It's not that she bought too little, but that she bought too much at once, which aroused suspicion.

Anyway, she has plenty of time. She can go to various farmers' markets and different merchants and buy some in batches.

It cost more than 900,000 yuan, but only tens of thousands of yuan were spent.

Su Wanwan had never found it so difficult to spend money.

Seeds and stuff are so cheap.

How is she going to spend this money? Even if she gives it to Shen Yuan, he won’t be able to spend it.

Su Wanwan still went to the wholesale market and this time bought a large bag of salt, a large bag of white sugar, and a large bag of brown sugar, all large bags weighing 50 kilograms.

These were in-demand commodities in ancient times, the kind that you couldn’t buy even if you had money.

Then she went to buy daily necessities, such as towels, pillows and the like. She didn't buy much of these things in the past two days. Her task now was to buy a little every day, whatever she saw.

Increase the number little by little, after all, she can't handle it all by herself.

Buy online, buy in shopping malls, buy in wholesale markets, run around everywhere.

In the end, I spent more than 100,000 yuan after spending an entire afternoon shopping.

One of the rooms in her house was filled with seeds, fertilizers and miscellaneous items.

However, it feels good to stock up.

Su Wanwan was too tired to cook in the evening, so she just ordered a bunch of takeout and also ordered some for Shen Yuan's family.

Shen Yuan got up early this morning to fetch water to water the fields.

Everyone in the village is now carrying water to irrigate the fields, but looking at the growth of wheat in the fields, everyone has a worried look on their face.

No matter how hard they worked to water the fields, it seemed they could not resist the drought.

Shen Zhao made wild vegetable pancakes to bring to his eldest brother. There were many people working in the field, so he didn't dare to be so ostentatious and just made white flour pancakes.

Seeing his elder brother sweating profusely, Shen Zhao secretly sighed that he was useless.

He was too thin and weak. After lifting heavy objects for a few times, he would become tired and cough, so his elder brother never let him do heavy work.

Shen Yuan is a big and strong man. He can run two trips while others can run one trip. He can even do the work of two people, but it doesn't work because he is the only laborer in his family.

There are thirty acres of land at home, and it takes Shen Yuan five or six days to irrigate all of it.

Of course, if Su Wanwan were here, she would find that the one acre of land here is different from the one acre of land today. An acre of land in ancient times is equivalent to half an acre of land today.

"Brother, have a cake first."

Shen Zhao called out to the local big brother, Shen Yuan put down his carrying pole, wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, and walked over.

They actually only eat two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Only if you are a landlord will you have three meals a day.

Su Wanwan fed him a few days ago and he also had a meal in the evening.

Seeing that Shen Zhao brought wild vegetable cakes, Shen Yuan patted his second brother on the shoulder and thought that his second brother was also smart.

Those precious foods must not be exposed in front of others.

Although he had eaten precious food several times, Shen Yuan felt his throat getting sore when he ate the wild vegetable cakes. However, he didn't care and ate two of them in big mouthfuls and drank a few sips of water.

"Hurry up and change the bags covering the things at home. Go back home tonight and start digging a bigger basement."

Shen Yuan whispered something.

He was watering the fields here, while Shen Zhao was at home, taking the two little ones to start rummaging through the bags.

The bags of rice and flour were unusable, so they found many sacks and replaced them one by one.

"Brother, do you want to store it in the vegetable cellar?"

Shen Zhao asked.

Shen Yuan nodded:

"Well, even if you change the bag, it's not safe to keep it in the house. It's better to put it downstairs for safety."

As the two brothers were talking, an old man suddenly came over.

"I'm eating now."

The old man's name is Shen Songqing, and he is their uncle.

Shen Songqing came over and handed over a pancake. The two of them took a look and saw that it was a half white flour and half mixed grain pancake.

"Here, take it and eat it. How can you do hard work without eating something good?"

Seeing that the two brothers refused to take it, the uncle directly stuffed it into Shen Yuan's hands.

"Especially you, the whole family depends on you alone."

Shen Yuan took the cake, chuckled, and without any hesitation, broke off half and gave it to Shen Zhao, then took a bite himself:

"Uncle, if you secretly give us food, be careful that Auntie will get angry with you!"

Shen Songqing kicked over:

"You kid, you're making up stories about your uncle!"

However, he didn't really kick him, and Shen Yuan dodged it with a laugh. Shen Zhao was afraid that his uncle would fall, so he immediately supported him.

"Okay, you all know your aunt is a kind person, she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. This is the food I saved, so she can't say anything."

As Shen Songqing spoke, he looked at the land:

"Water it slowly. When we're done, ask your brother to come and help you."

Shen Yuan said in a muffled voice:

"Why do we need you, brother? I can finish all these in four or five days. Uncle, don't worry about us. I went up the mountain two days ago and sold a lot of food. I also bought some fine grains. I was planning to send some to you in the evening."

My uncle's family was really nice to them. Although my aunt-in-law was harsh in words, she had a soft heart.

Shen Yuan was moved.

"Yes, that's what my brother said, uncle, wait for me to come over in the evening."

Shen Zhao lost his parents when he was eight years old, and has been living with his uncle ever since. He only followed his elder brother when he came back from the border last year, so he has deeper feelings for his uncle's family.

"Why are you sending me gifts? Keep those for yourselves. You are all children. How can you grow if you don't eat well? Don't send me gifts."

Shen Songqing knew that his nephew was a capable person, otherwise he would not have agreed to let them separate and live on their own.

Besides, he didn't expect them to be filial to him. As long as their family could make a living and raise the children, that was enough.

The old man said a few words, then walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Shen Zhao continued to go home and pack up his things, while Shen Yuan concentrated on watering the fields, each with his own division of labor.

When Shen Zhao returned home, he found his niece Xiao Yue'er crying, so he rushed over immediately. As a result, he saw a little girl of six or seven years old pulling Xiao Yue'er's clothes.
