Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Liu Xu looked at Chang Yifei speechlessly and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"Lotus can be grown from lotus seeds, but the survival rate is low. It is easiest to grow it from rhizomes!"

Seeing that he wanted to say something else, Liu Xu said helplessly: "Okay, there's no point in telling you about this. You will know when the time comes."

Chang Yifei knew that she always had her own ideas, so he didn't try to persuade her.

"Okay! Come on, take me to see the potatoes you planted."

All the potato seeds were buried in the sand to germinate and placed in the empty room in the new courtyard. After looking at the potatoes, Liu Xu took Chang Yifei to look at the other things. Chang Yifei had never seen these things before, so when Liu Xu introduced them, he listened carefully.

When Chang Yifei saw the peppers that were already bearing fruit in the shed, he was excited, "Little sister, how long will it take before these peppers can be used?"

Liu Xu: "It can be used now, but we have to wait to prepare the base for the wok. We have to wait until the peppers turn red and dry."

Chang Yifei asked curiously, "You mean this thing is not cooked? No, it can be eaten even if it is not red?"

"Yes, it's just not as spicy as the red ones. It's still a good seasoning for dishes. I'll show you how good it is at lunch so you can have a taste!"

Most of the elders in my family can't eat spicy food, so even though they knew they could eat the catkins, they didn't come to pick them. As for the chili pepper, it still needs to be red and tasty.

Liu Xu also told Chang Yifei that the corn would be ready for eating in about twenty days, and could basically be harvested by the end of April.

Chang Yifei looked at these greenhouses and could already imagine the harvest scene. He couldn't help but ask:

"We can grow a lot of corn by then, right?"

Liu Xu nodded, "About three or four kilograms of seeds are enough for one acre of corn. Planting two hundred acres in a shed like this shouldn't make much difference."

Chang Yifei calculated secretly in his mind and was very surprised by the result. He knew that Uncle Liu still had some, which meant that those two or three bags of seeds had increased by at least ten times!

If all these seeds are planted, will the North still be hungry next year?

"Little sister, can this be planted?" Chang Yifei asked tentatively.

Liu Xu nodded without hesitation, "Sure! This yield is not too high, and by the time the corn ears are in place, everything should be clear."

The yield of this thing is not as impressive as potatoes, so she doesn't think it's a big problem.

Chang Yifei was very happy when he heard this and prepared to plant all the dry land in the village.

"Third brother, corn can be interplanted with soybeans. Just apply more fertilizer when applying it."

Although this may be a little sparse, but when added together, the output is quite large.

The two of them went to see the cowpeas and watermelons in the greenhouse. Liu Xu asked Wu Sangui to find someone to cut some peppers with scissors, and then they walked and talked back.

Chang Yifei understood the situation, had a delicious meal, and then went back with a bulging belly.

That afternoon, Liu Dahai brought back the approval letter. Liu Xu informed Zhu Jiacheng that the construction of the wall would start tomorrow.

Zhu Jiacheng said deeply that he has been in Liujia Village for half a year from last year to this year... and he doesn’t know what to build next.

However, whether it is Liu Xu's family or Liujia Village, not only is the salary not low, but the afternoon tea and snacks prepared for them by the full package, or the meals prepared for them by the half package, are all great.

All the workers under him like to come to Liujia Village to work.

The young and strong men in Liujia Village were all very excited when they heard the news.

How could they not be excited? After the fence is built, the catkins will give them new grain seeds that can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu.

For farmers, no matter how much money they can earn now, food is always what they care about most. With the new grain, they can live well even without these jobs and livelihoods.

Some smart people are already preparing to buy land and open up wasteland.

You know, Liu Xu's greenhouses are all built on reclaimed wasteland. In other words, this new crop is not picky about the land!

If Liu Xu knew what these people were thinking, she would definitely give them a thumbs up. It's hard for such people not to be successful, their brains work too fast.

However, our Miss Liu is now busy drawing new designs for her mother.

Anxin Home Textiles in the county town became an instant hit. Except for the samples left behind, the bedding products were snapped up by wealthy families and the company also received many orders.

Especially those bright red nine-piece wedding sets, which were still very popular even though they cost as much as a hundred taels.

If there is a girl in the family who is about to get married or has just been engaged, both her parents' and her husband's family will come to place an order.

In just half a month, Anxin Workshop had a turnover of over ten thousand taels.

At the same time, the name of Lanxin Embroidery Workshop is also known to many people, of course only within Qinghe County.

Jixiang Fabric Shop and Cui Jin Lou placed two more orders, especially Jixiang Fabric Shop, which wanted thousands of sets. She suspected that Manager Ling was purchasing for others.

What does it matter? After all, their shipping price remains unchanged and the retail price is also regulated.

Ling Zhijie is also making a lot of money now. His family gets goods from Liu Xu's family, but Liu Xu's family also gets cloth from his family.

This time it was even more frightening. She asked Uncle He to order two thousand rolls of coarse and fine cotton cloth, and two hundred rolls of silk and satin, all of which were sent to the embroidery building in the county.

In the old house in Liujia Village, Liu Laishun was extremely grateful for his wife's generosity. They borrowed some money from Liu Xu and directly bought 30 acres of wasteland, five acres of which were prepared as a dowry for Liu Hongying.

Yes, as Liu Fulin's leg condition improved, Liu Hongying's marriage was also settled.

He is from Liujia Village, the grandson of another clan elder, named Liu Xin. He is the second child, seventeen years old this year, and a very upright young man.

He had a square face and was a very upright person. His family was divided, and his eldest brother was also conscripted last year. He was supposed to go by himself, but his parents kept him back because he was not married and had no children.

For this reason, Liu Xin has been helping to take care of his little nephew at home, fearing that his sister-in-law would run away with someone.

The two did not get married blindly. According to He Bagua, it was Liu Xin who fell in love with Liu Hongying first. Her mother thought that Liu Hongying was Liu Xu's cousin and was afraid that her son would be embarrassed if he was rejected, so she did not want to agree.

But this guy was stubborn and said that if he couldn't marry Liu Hongying, he would live alone for the rest of his life. His mother was so scared that she quickly asked the wife of the village head to act as a matchmaker to mediate the reconciliation.

After Liu Xiumei refused twice, she agreed the third time.

Now both of them have reached the stage of giving gifts.

I heard that they were quite sincere and that in addition to the silver hairpins and bracelets, the betrothal gift also included a pair of gold earrings.

This was already a very high betrothal gift in a farming family. Liu Xu was sincerely happy for her cousin.

Finally, the date was set after the autumn harvest, so that the new bride could rest for a while after entering the house instead of doing farm work right away.

As for Liu Fulin, Liu Xu has a candidate in mind, but he has to wait until his leg heals.

Liu Fulin had no idea that his cousin was even worried about finding a partner for him...
