When they come out of Xiong's house in the evening, Xu Qing and Li Changting pass by the market and see many snack stalls on the roadside.
Since the arrival of the new magistrate, the price of meat and grain in Shengzhou City has dropped a lot. Some vendors who did not dare to come to Shengzhou City to sell grain have also been able to come in. After the great change of the whole atmosphere, Shengzhou City is now flourishing.
Even ordinary people can afford meat. It's no surprise to see a few meat stalls on the street.
Everyone has visited Xu Qing's stall before. Now when they see her and her husband go shopping, they greet them warmly. Xu Qing and Li Changting are celebrities in Shengzhou City.
They went to a big grain shop and went in to have a look.
Xu Qing is thinking about what cakes to sell in the next city. It's going to be summer soon. Of course, it's better to eat something cool and cool in summer. Mung bean cakes must be indispensable.
In addition, there are guiling paste, jelly and horseshoe cake can be replaced, and then do some durable and not easy to break, such as small cakes and Mahua.
Generally, horseshoes don't come until October. Don't count on horseshoe powder. Xu Qing didn't find it after a walk in the grain shop.
"Shopkeeper, is this Chen noodles or new noodles?" Xu Qing asked, pointing to the flour.
"It's all new this year." The shopkeeper knows Xu Qing. The biggest grain shop in Shengzhou City is owned by the Fu family. With Mr. Fu's face, the shopkeeper dare not fool Xu Qing with inferior goods.
"All the rice is old from last year, but the noodles are new from this year. If you want them, I'll give you a 20% discount." The shopkeeper said with a smile, 20% discount is the best preferential price for the grain shop. Generally, people who are good friends with the Fu family have such treatment.
Xu Qing twisted a little flour, sniffed it, tasted it, and said, "it's still fresh. Give me 300 Jin, 100 Jin for mung bean, 100 Jin for red bean and 100 Jin for soybean, 30 jin for sesame and 50 Jin for peanut I want all the freshest. Don't give me anything that isn't fresh. "
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "OK, OK! You can rest assured that it is the freshest. I dare not give it to you if it is not fresh. "
It's a big business. The shopkeeper's heart trembles with excitement. Compared with the guests who only buy a kilo or two of grain and care about the weight every time, Xu Qing is simply and generous!
After paying a large sum of money, the manager of the grain shop sent a man to help deliver the grain to Xu Qing's home.
That night, Li Changting pretended that the grain was bought for others. At night, he drove the grain away in a carriage and came back in the middle of the night. When he came back, all the grain had entered Xu Qing's space.
There's no one at home. Chaoyang Chaolu and his little apprentice haven't come back yet, but there are many people in Shengzhou City with mixed eyes. Xu Qing's family must have been seen going in and out. Although it's unnecessary to pretend to ship it out, it won't be doubted if it doesn't arouse people's suspicion.
It's better for a batch of grain to be transported away than to disappear at home.
After dinner, Xu Qing began to make dry food.
Chaoyang Chaolu will return to his job from tomorrow. He won't go to Fanzhou with them. Xu Qing, two little apprentices, plans to take them with him. In addition, Ji Lao and a man have to prepare the dry food for these four people.
It's troublesome to stop to make a fire and cook on the way. In addition, it's a painful thing to cook on a hot day. It's not everyone who has been in a hurry all day is in the mood to eat hot food.
Xu Qing baked 30 thick pancakes. They looked dry, but they tasted good with water. He baked some butter biscuits, and three Jin pretzels were enough.
After preparing the dry food, Xu Qing went to the field and found that some of the fruit tree seeds planted last time had tender buds, which could be transplanted when they became saplings.
Although most fruit trees need to be grafted to produce more and better fruits, it seems that there is no such trouble in the space. Each fruit grows very well and bears fruits very frequently. It seems that the disadvantages brought by genes and external environment are automatically eliminated, which gives Xu Qing a lot of worry.
When the curtains are closed, the owner of the cabin is sleeping, and some changes are quietly taking place in the space.
"Ah!"
Li Changting and Xu Qing are awakened by Duanmu's cry upstairs.
"Ah Qing, come out and have a look!"
Duanmu's voice was a little excited in amazement. Li Changting worried that he would frighten the little dragonfly. Before he was dressed, he opened the curtain and went out. He was about to stop drinking, but he was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of him.
Xu Qingxin felt something, put on a coat and ran out.
"Hector Seeing the suddenly widened field opposite, Xu Qing took a breath.
I don't know when the two fog walls on the opposite side have disappeared. What's more, it seems that Xu Qing's request has been sensed and two mu more land has been created. One mu is a square paddy field, and one mu is the same land as before.
What surprised Xu Qing was the watery paddy field. It was amazing!
Now the pattern of the whole space has changed again, Lingquan is in the most central position, and all the four mu fields around it have been exposed.
Although the end of the four mu field is still a fog wall, the living space has suddenly doubled, which still excites Xu Qing.More than two acres of land, which means she can grow more food! It happened that she planted a batch of fruit trees, which could be transplanted into new fields in the future!
After dressing up, they went out for a tour of the newly emerged two mu of land, especially the paddy field. Xu Qing was very rare. With the paddy field, he could grow more rice and raise ducks and fish.
In contrast, a small paddy field dug up by Xu Qing and Li Changting is a bit shabby. One mu of paddy field is enough for Xu Qing to use. The small paddy field before him will be used for planting when the water is dry.
Xu Qing looked at the extra two acres of land, and his head was full of how to plan and what to plant.
She said to Li Changting, "why don't we stay one more day and plant these two acres of land?"
Li Changting fully agreed: "good."
Li Changting went to Doujiu hall and told Ji Lao that he was going to leave one day later. Ji Lao was going to play. He didn't mind if he went early or late.
Xu Qing plans to grow glutinous rice, but the seedlings have not yet been cultivated, so this mu of paddy field can not be used for the time being. She first takes care of another mu of land, and plants beans, wheat and some vegetables. By the way, she reserves some space for transplanting fruit trees in the future.
But she probably saw the ducks and geese yearning for the paddy field at home. There seemed to be a mixture of supplication in their calls. Xu Qing simply opened the fence and let them go to the paddy field to have fun.
With the paddy field, ducks will be home on the ridge, playing in the water tired, lying on the ridge in the sun to sleep.
At first, Xu Qing was worried that they would go to the vegetables in Huohuo field. But later, Xu Qing found that unless she fed the vegetables and grains to them, they would Peck and eat, and they would not move the things in the field, so she was relieved.
