A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!
Chapter 39: Getting More and More Stingy
Aunt Su felt that if someone pulled her aside and said that she had a dream about having fairy seeds under her pillow, and then woke up to find that there were really seeds given by the fairy, she would definitely ask that guy to download an anti-fraud app.
But wasn’t this in ancient times?
Moreover, she is the master and the other is the servant.
Even if Aunt Jiao had some doubts in her heart, she couldn't show it.
When Aunt Jiao held the two kinds of seeds in her hands, the surprise on her old face didn't seem to be fake!
"The old lady is very happy! This must be a gift from the immortals who saw that the old lady was kind and repaired the Suxian Temple!"
Aunt Su was also delighted, "Old Jiao, then what do you think about this seed? Can we plant it? I really want to see what it tastes like when the immortal fruit that the immortal said is planted?"
This black girl said she bought some Ruby No. 34 or Red Pearl No. 9 from the Beijing Agricultural University on the Internet.
They also say that it is resistant to diseases and pests and has high nutritional value.
She wanted to try it. What did the tomatoes grown in ancient land without pesticides or fertilizers taste like?
Madam Jiao nodded vigorously, "Of course we have to plant the seeds given by the immortal!"
If you don’t plant it, won’t it be a waste?
Aunt Su turned her eyes and said, "That's fine! Let's plant it!"
Since it is a fairy seed, it is impossible to plant it casually in the fields outside.
Even if you plant it in the vacant land in the farm, it won’t work.
What if a naughty kid or a chicken, cat, dog or something like that gets in trouble?
So finally he found two wicker baskets of medium size, carefully selected some fertile black soil, buried the seeds in them, and sprinkled water on them.
Aunt Jiao said that she grew up in the village and was very familiar with growing vegetables and fruits. How could she trust other little girls who were clumsy and unskilled? She had to watch over it herself! She had to take good care of these immortal seeds!
The immortal seeds are now being taken care of, and the construction of new houses is in full swing.
When Aunt Su had some free time, she took her maids to wander around the farm.
The twenty or so tenants on the farm also lead a very colorful life these days.
First, most of the strong laborers in the family found jobs, and then there was the old lady who loved to wander around. She was truly a kind-hearted and benevolent person!
The old man from the Zhang family likes to weave baskets when he has nothing to do.
Weren’t weaving baskets in the yard that day?
An old lady happened to be passing by and asked him if he could weave a delicate little flower basket.
The small flower basket is small, only slightly bigger than an adult's palm. How much materials and effort did it take to make it?
It didn't take long for Old Zhang to finish weaving it, and he even made it with some colorful flowers!
Originally I thought it was just a rare thing for a noble lady to see, but the old lady liked it and said it was well made. She then ordered one hundred from Old Zhang and gave him five cents of silver as a deposit!
Isn’t this silver falling from the sky?
Old Zhang sits there, protected from wind and rain, making a hundred baskets. At most, it takes him a few days to earn one or two taels of silver. Isn't that enough to feed his family for a whole year?
And there was the lame wife of old Qiao’s family, who was ugly and could not speak clearly, but she had one thing in common… she was good at sewing.
The old lady was passing by and saw the tiger-head hat on her baby's head, so she asked who made it.
When they found out that it was the lame man's wife who made it, they asked someone to bring several rolls of cloth to the Qiao family's wife and ordered five sets of clothes from her.
By making these five sets, the Qiao family’s wife can earn one or two taels of silver as wages!
The old lady also said that when she brings them back to the city, if everyone likes the tiger-head shoes, hats and cloaks, they will have to place long-term orders from the Qiao family’s daughter-in-law!
The daughter-in-law of the old Qiao family has mastered such a skill. Aren’t the other daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law jealous?
The lame man’s wife is dexterous, but they are not bad either!
So they went to Su Zhong's house to ask for help. Some sent handkerchiefs, some sent insoles, and some sent bracelets. They all thought that what if the old lady also liked their work?
But in the end, the old lady didn't like the handkerchief, insole or corduroy, but asked the maid Sumei beside her to teach everyone how to make palace flowers.
The palace flowers are made of colorful thin pieces of cloth wrapped around thin bamboo threads. If you are dexterous, you can make them look exactly like real flowers. They look so bright when worn on the head. The head flowers sold by peddlers from outside are far inferior to them!
The women in the tenant farmers' families could get the materials from Su Zhong's family and take them home to make them. If they finished a branch and handed it back, they would receive three cents in wages.
Now is the slack season for farming, and women have a lot of free time. A skillful one can make at least five or six branches a day, and earn a dozen cents a day. In the past, who would have dared to dream of such a good thing?
What a pity, the old lady only stayed at the farm for seven days!
When the old lady left, almost everyone in the farm came to see her off.
The old woman and the daughters-in-law were busy putting the eggs they had prepared at home into the old lady's car.
The young men got up early and caught half a bucket of spring fish for the old lady.
The strong men said that the next time the old lady comes, the new house will definitely have been built and will be tidy and comfortable!
In fact, Aunt Su didn't want to leave either.
In the village, the scenery is beautiful, the soil and water are good, and no one can control what you eat.
She takes people for a walk around the farm every day, and she feels that everything she eats tastes better and her sleep quality has improved.
But these twenty or so people had to eat and drink every day, and the daily necessities they brought were also used up.
Being able to stay here for seven days has already exceeded our plan.
We set out early in the morning and arrived back at the Lin residence at three in the afternoon.
The Lu family carried a small basket of fruits and vegetables into the main courtyard.
"Madam, the old lady has returned home!"
"I heard that he brought a lot of local products from the farm when he came back, and he gave some to each family."
Ji picked up a fist-sized melon and curled her lips.
"They are all worthless dirt!"
She had also heard of the Su family's manor.
It is far away and remote, the fields are few and not fertile, and the output is very limited.
I can only earn a few taels of silver a year, which is just enough to buy some vegetables and rice.
The Lu family looked at Ji expectantly, "What about this basket of fruits?"
Madam doesn't care about these things, so it's better to leave it to her.
The red sores at the corners of her grandson's mouth have healed in the past few days. He has a good appetite and can finish a whole melon in one go!
Ji thought for a moment and said, "Although they are not valuable, they are brought back by our elders after all. Let's wash them and put them on the table!"
The Lu family responded and went out with the fruits.
Oh, the lady is getting more and more stingy!
