Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Just as Chang Yifei expected, Ding Maoye was now in a panic. His master had sent him a letter saying that the Ninth Prince had succeeded to the throne and that the conspiracy had been traced back to Master Fu San, and asked him to cut off contact with the other party immediately.

However, after nearly ten years of contact, even if it was cut off at this time, it would probably be easy for someone to find clues.

What he was most worried about was not this. If the new emperor's people found out that he was involved in the previous hunt, I'm afraid... the Wang family would be a lesson for him.

He couldn't help but feel angry when he thought of this. The people sent by the master were also useless. How could they let someone escape and be rescued by the Xu family, allowing him to meet Mu Jingfeng smoothly?

The matter was not clear yet, Xiao Yan and others only announced to the outside world that it was the Xu family who saved Xiao Yan. At this moment, no one thought that all these turns were because of the two little girls.

If Xiao Yan had not met Han Duoduo and Liu Xu at that time, it would probably be Xiao Rui sitting on the throne now.

A long time later, when Xiao Rui learned the truth, he only said, "It's fate!"

Of course, Liu Xu had no control over these things and didn't want to care about them. Today, her family and Liu Changshun's family were picking corn.

Liu Xu specially asked Aunt Lin and others to make overalls for everyone with coarse cloth so that they would not have to worry about getting their clothes dirty when they worked.

As the saying goes, men and women work together, and work is not tiring. Two people work in a group, the woman is responsible for breaking the catkins and the man is responsible for carrying them. The catkins in each shed must be piled separately so that the yield per mu can be calculated.

However, the hybrid experimental products were taken away early in the morning. Everyone was sharpening their knives at this moment, waiting for Liu Xu's order.

The result was that all the corn in the greenhouse was harvested in two hours, or even less than two hours, on fourteen acres of land.

Today is already the 18th, so we have to hurry up. Xu Zheng must leave the day after tomorrow at the latest.

In order to reward everyone, the Liu family servants had an extra sumptuous lunch today.

After dinner, everyone did not rest but went to the new courtyard to shell corn kernels. Ye Miaoyin and her daughter also came with them.

With the previous experience, this time the corn was peeled much faster than the first time. More than 20 people worked together and the two acres of land were quickly finished. The last weighing,

"Miss, two acres of land produced a total of 1352 kilograms!" He Lei said calmly.

There was no way. Compared with the previous potato yield, although corn was also considered high-yielding, it would not make them ecstatic.

However, for Liu Xu, this was already very good, about a hundred pounds higher than she expected.

He selected a few corn cobs of good quality and had someone take them to the backyard to dry along with the peeled corn, while the others continued to work.

Later, Xu Ruolan also came, and with her came the two Dun'er. Now eight months old, they have grown eight teeth and crawl around babbling every day.

The two boys were weaned from breast milk at six months old. They drank goat milk produced by the goats that Liu Donglai had captured earlier every day, and with the supplementary food specially prepared for them, they grew up very strong.

Liu Xu also drew a blueprint and asked her second uncle and eldest uncle to help make two dining chairs and two trolleys.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, you don’t need someone to carry your baby when you go out. You can just put him in the stroller and push him around. It’s very convenient.

At that time, Liu Dongxiang also asked Liu Xu if he could make the products and sell them, and he would give her a share of the profits. Liu Xu directly asked him to send them to Qiqiaofang, and gave him 50% of each sale. It was said that the sales were quite good.

Xu Ruolan came with her two children, but she couldn't help much. She was overjoyed to know that the corn yield was more than 600 kilograms per mu, having been planting for nine years.

Although it is not as good as potatoes, my daughter said that as long as the fertility is good, it can be interplanted with soybeans and potatoes, which is equivalent to producing two harvests from one piece of land. Even if it is soybeans, it can produce 700 to 800 kilograms.

If all the people planted it, even if the yield was not as high as their own, they would no longer have to worry about going hungry.

The masters didn't stay long. Liu Xu asked Uncle Gui to pick two melons and then returned to the front yard.

Speaking of this melon, Chang Yifei opened one when he came here before. It was the kind that had just ripened and was not yet sandy.

It has a green skin and red flesh, so everyone was hesitant to eat it at first. But when they saw Liu Xu eating happily, they tried taking a bite.

After taking a bite, everyone in the room was conquered. It is sweet and juicy, with a crisp taste, and it can also quench your thirst. If you take a bite in the summer, it is a great way to cool down!

Chang Yifei immediately asked Liu Xu to sell all the seeds to him. There were not many seeds, so he planted only six or seven mu of land. However, the melons were large, each weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms, so he could have three or four hundred of them.

This person was also ruthless. He cut a small piece of the melon for tasting at the Zhenxiu Pavilion. He said it was a melon from a foreign country and was very rare. Then he sold it at a high price of 100 coins per small plate, which was four or five yuan per plate!

Seeing that watermelon was so popular in Qinghe County, Chang Yifei set his sights on moving to the provincial capital.

He would have people bring a few back to the city every few days, and sell them for ten taels each at first, and later it was said that they were sold for fifty taels each. This is the real profiteer.

There are not many dishes in the Treasure Pavilion, only four or five every day. Each one can hold dozens of dishes, which weighs more than ten taels each.

The brother and sister, one supplied the goods while the other raised the price. The melons from these two plots of land alone generated at least two to three thousand taels of income for Liu Xu, and this was the profit after she and Chang Yifei split it equally.

The cowpeas were more common, after all, they were not the thin and long seedless cowpeas of modern times. Dongsheng Country had a lot of beans, so they were not particularly rare.

Willow catkins can be dried and made into dried cowpeas, which are delicious when fried with preserved meat in winter.

When we returned to the front yard, the workshop had already closed and Dong'er limped in.

Liu Xu looked distressed and said, "Auntie Dong, shall we treat his leg in a couple of days?"

"Ah? But if I go to treat my leg, I won't be able to help you look after the workshop, and... if I can't cure it, it will be a waste of money. Otherwise..." Dong'er hesitated.

Liu Xu interrupted her immediately after hearing this: "Aunt Dong, there is nothing to do during this period. Mother can go and look after the workshop. When you get better, won't you be able to help mother do more things?"

"Can…"

"Don't worry, Dong'er, are you holding it all the time because you're afraid of the pain?" Xu Ruolan asked directly.

After the first month of the lunar year, Xu Ruolan said she would treat her legs, but Dong'er said she wanted to get her face healed first. The scars on her face were hardly noticeable now, and she still wanted to drag it out.

After all, they grew up together, so Xu Ruolan knew her personal maid very well.

When she is in danger, Dong'er can protect her with his life, but once she is in a safe state, this girl will scream and cry at the slightest sound of a broken mouth. Now that she hears that the call needs to be interrupted and reconnected, it would be strange if she is not afraid.

Liu Xu couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this. She thought something was wrong, but it turned out to be because of this.

Dong'er covered her face and shouted angrily, "Miss! You... Is the young lady still here?"

"Haha, um, hehe, Aunt Dong, I didn't hear anything! But um, Grandpa Meng will give you painkillers when the time comes." Liu Xu said awkwardly but politely.

"There are painkillers? Does that mean a broken leg won't hurt?

"It should be! After all, I didn't hear my cousin cry out in pain when he took the medicine before." Liu Xu talked nonsense seriously.

【Liu Fulin: Thank you, your senior sister blocked my mouth with a rag, how could I scream?】

"Is that so! Miss, I'll treat it then!" Dong'er nodded happily.

Xu Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief. Even though her daughter was the one who fooled her, at least she was willing to be treated. As for other things, she could talk about it when the time comes!
