Old Zhou felt that the Qian family was simply unreasonable. This was their Bai family's business, and it was a surprise for the Bai family. What was the matter with their old Zhou family
It's fine for Man Bao to meddle, it's because she has a good relationship with the young master, why are the two of them bothering so much
But old Zhou was cowardly, he didn't dare to say it.
Man Bao hadn't told Lao Zhou the final price yet, until Bai Shanbao told her that their food was about to arrive in Luojiang County, Man Bao happily went to find his father and told him that the Bai family was willing to exchange one catty for two taels a catty.
The old Zhou Tou, who was still a little lazy, immediately cheered up, and asked with bright eyes, "Really?"
Man Bao nodded.
"Did you say how much it would cost?"
"Anything that comes from our family's wheat seeds is needed, but Dad, they also have to keep some seeds for themselves?"
"More than that, this seed is good. Not only did they save enough for their own family, but they also left it for relatives. They plan to send it to others after they finish their work." But old Zhou didn't care, and the relatives exchanged seeds. Good seed is a common occurrence.
Old Zhou Tou decided to go to Qian's house when he had time to see if his winter wheat harvest this year was any better, and if he wanted to get some more seeds from him.
Old Zhou Tou made a plan, and the second child and his Yue's family reckoned that they would have to go there, so this wheat seed should be kept a little more, and after a calculation in his mind, Old Zhou Tou said: "Manbao, then our family How about just changing sixty bags and keeping nine bags?"
Man Bao was stunned, "Our family also wants to change?"
"Of course it will be exchanged. Two ounces of a catty is exchanged for one catty. The price was negotiated between our father and daughter." If he didn't take advantage of such a huge bargain, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
Man Bao: ... She has to have a good talk with her mother and let her watch over her father, but she can't exchange the wheat at home.
Old Zhou Tou had already gone out happily, and told the whole village the great news.
Last year, with the exception of a few families, most of the families in Qili Village exchanged their own wheat with Lao Zhou's for wheat seeds.
Originally, the winter wheat harvest of the families who changed the wheat seeds this spring was generally much higher than that of the families who did not change the wheat seeds. Now that there is a matter of exchanging a catty for a catty, the intestines of the families that did not change the wheat seeds before are almost regretful.
Laizi's house didn't change.
Laizi finds it troublesome, and his family's wheat seeds last year were carefully selected, and he feels that they are no worse than the wheat harvested by the old Zhou's family.
Yes, the old Zhou's wheat harvest last year was better than everyone else's, but no matter how good it is, the wheat must not be as plump as the grains they carefully selected, right
Who knew that those who replanted last year had a bumper harvest.
Laizi was a little depressed.
His father squatted on the threshold, and said in a muffled voice after a while: "This year, let's exchange some wheat seeds with Uncle Jin's. I think the wheat seeds in their house are really good."
"Since you know it's really good, why didn't you change it last year?" Laizi couldn't help shouting, "If you don't tell me a year too late, you won't even be able to earn money."
The lame father sat on the threshold and didn't speak.
Laizi lost his temper angrily, then kicked and slumped away.
There are several families in the village who regret as much as Laizi's family, but they still can't affect the old Zhou's family, let alone the joy of the whole village.
Even the village head was so happy that he sent someone to go to Daji to cut a piece of meat and came back, and invited old Zhou tou to stay for dinner.
One catty can produce two or two more grains. If it is one thousand catties, it is equivalent to gaining two hundred catties more. Just thinking about it, the village chief is so happy that he can eat a pot of meat.
The village head also invited several older elders in the village, who couldn't afford alcohol, so everyone let go of eating steamed buns, and asked Old Zhou, "When are they going to change it?"
"Man Bao said that it will only be two or three days. The wheat of each family is probably almost sun-dried."
An old man said to the village head: "You have to keep an eye on it, let them dry the wheat, and then let the wind blow it, don't let the half-dried ones, even the empty shells will be put in."
He said: "Master Bai is also from our Qili Village. He is from the same village. It's not good to make a scene."
"Yeah, if we live a good life in the future, we need to rely more on Master Bai. We can't lose our relationship just because of such a little thing."
Old Zhou nodded repeatedly. Their family still owes Master Bai a lot of favors. Although they have raised the price in business talks, these things must be done well to ensure quality and quantity.
Master Bai didn't know that he was being pulled like a tiger's skin. After talking with the three children, he kept paying attention to their movements.
It turned out that the three children went to and from school normally every day, and occasionally went to the mountains together to harm wild grass and flowers. Well, it is said that they went up the mountain to find wild mushrooms, and even had a picnic.
A fire was lit in the garden of the white mansion, and the mushrooms found on the skewers were about to be roasted, but in the end they almost burned the flowers in the garden, which gave Zheng a good lesson.
When Master Bai was wondering if they had forgotten their serious business, he sent someone to pick up his son and come back to live there, but his son expressed nervously that he would not betray his little friend.
Well, Master Bai knew that they hadn't forgotten the serious business, but he didn't know what they did.
But seeing that Bai Er lives with Bai Shanbao, he can go to and from school normally every day, even Mr. Zhuang praised his homework twice, and it is said that he still reads after class now.
Master Bai was so excited that he almost shed tears, and then he waited for their next step with peace of mind, not in a hurry.
However, he did care about the seeds of the old Zhou family.
In the past few days, he had not only talked to Lao Zhou, but also the head of Qili Village. Only then did he confirm that the seeds of Lao Zhou's family were indeed planted by himself, but it changed after the flood last year.
I don't know if there is a problem with the flood, or if it is really the blessing of the Supreme Lord, the wheat in their house has changed.
Other than that, the old Zhou's family grows wheat in the same way as everyone else. At most, he has more sons. When plowing the field, he plows twice, and his daughter-in-law breaks up a little bit of soil; son; planted two days earlier than others...
In short, Master Bai concluded after analysis that the root cause is still in the seeds.
So he really wanted to buy seeds.
The water and soil of Qili Village have been verified. These wheat seeds should be suitable for the water and soil of Qili Village. The water and soil of Dali Village are similar to this side, so there is no problem.
So after the autumn harvest, these places can be planted with new wheat seeds. As for other places, he plans to select a dozen or twenty acres of land to try.
If these wheat seeds are not suitable for the local water and soil, that place will lose more than ten or twenty mu of land, and he can afford this loss.
Master Bai had a good plan. He planned to buy a batch from the three children at a "low price" first, and then go to the village to buy from others if they were not enough.
However, he still prefers to buy from the old Zhou's family, because it is said that their wheat is still the best in the village this year, so the wheat seeds produced by their family should also be the best.
