Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 311: Unexpected Encounter with Duck Eggs

"Miss Xu, please watch first. I'm going to go out for a while."

Make a wish and nod.

After a while, the door opened again, and He Shi came in with two or three waiters, who packed up the food on the table.

Then he entered the compartment and sat down.

Xu Yuan looked at the terms above, which were similar to the terms drafted by Hu Zhanggui, including the price of the prescription, the method of dividend distribution, and the settlement method. They were very clear.

The price is even higher than I expected, so what's there to be dissatisfied about?

It’s worthy of being a provincial capital, the consumption capacity is different.

Xu Yuan quickly reached an agreement on cooperation with Manager He, and also got the money for the two large bags of marinade. Each bag cost eight cents, and there were a total of one hundred and sixty bags, which brought in about one or two taels of silver each.

I got this sumptuous meal for free.

Xuyuan left Fumanlou with satisfaction.

I suddenly thought that I could come to the North City more often.

……

It’s a rare trip to the North City, so I decided to take a good walk and went into a store selling ready-made clothes.

I picked out a emerald green and light yellow dress for Xu Zhi, and also bought many Japanese confectionery items. I also bought dark grey and dark blue shorts and trousers for her, and two pairs of shoes for each of them.

Then they left the store with bags in large and small sizes.

"What's going on over there? Why are there so many people gathered there?"

"Don't you know? There's an exam room over there and they're taking exams."

"You're talking nonsense. No one in my family is taking the exam, so how would I know?"

"Oh, you didn't come here early in the morning, so you didn't see several young and handsome scholars. Oh, there were several girls on the road who couldn't even walk, hahahaha."

"Oh, if you don't hurry up and help your daughter, she might be destined to become a high-ranking official in the future."

"Look at what you said. My daughter is as beautiful as a flower and kind and gentle. Which man wouldn't be attracted by her? I'm not worried about my daughter's marriage."

The two women asked and answered each other as they passed by Xu Yuan and walked into the shop.

Xu Yuan just paused for a moment, then quickly left and returned to the remote bamboo forest.

A white light flashed, and I returned to the small courtyard in the county town.

Put the things behind the cart.

I looked up at the time and it was already 3:00 p.m.

……

"Sister, who invited you to a restaurant for a feast? It's so sumptuous!"

Many people saw Xuyuan pouring the dishes onto the plate and came over excitedly to smell the food.

"Who is so kind to treat me? I bought this specially from the restaurant. Now that I've made some money, I have to have a good meal."

"Want to eat?"

Xuyuan saw many crazy people swallowing their saliva and asked with amusement.

Manyu shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry. I'll save it for dinner. Sister, have you eaten yet?"

"Eat, there are still many dishes here." Xu Yuan cut the roast chicken into eight pieces, handed two chicken legs to Guozi and Duodian, and then gave Xu Zhi a chicken wing each. We divided the rest, and covered the remaining dishes with a vegetable cover.

The four siblings happily finished off a roast chicken and cleared the table.

"And these are the clothes I bought for you. Go try them on and see if they fit you."

Xu Yuan distributed the two bags to Xu Zhi and Guozi and put the purchased seeds on the table.

"Sister, what are these seeds?" Xu Zhi's attention was immediately drawn and she asked quickly.

Even the new clothes he wished for were thrown to the back of his mind, and he walked forward and took a few seeds to examine them carefully.

"Watermelon, grapes, and corn."

"Sister, is this the kind that will give a bumper harvest?" Guozi now thinks of the seeds that her elder sister can give her, and what she thinks in her mind is the kind that can grow a lot of things.

Make a wish and nod.

"Then sister, is this watermelon similar to winter melon?" Xuanyu picked up the watermelon seeds and took a look. They were black and similar to melon seeds.

It should be edible, after all, the seeds of winter melon can be eaten after being dried and fried.

"No, this is a fruit just like grapes."

"Okay, I'm telling you now, you don't know what they look like. You'll know when they grow out. Go take a look at your new clothes."

"Thank you, big sister. Let's go see some new clothes." Guozi and Xuanyue happily ran into the room with their bags.

"Watch the road and don't fall." Xu Zhi smiled helplessly and turned to walk out the door.

Xu Yuan took a look and then counted the number of king seeds on the table.

How could the people in the village afford to eat such luxurious things as watermelon and grapes? They might not even have seen them. Only the peddler who traveled all over the country knew a lot about them.

……

It's time the next day.

After surveying the yard, Xu Yuan decided to plant grapes on the other side of the pavilion, letting the seedlings grow and climb up the pavilion.

In addition, we cleared the weeds on the side of the hill and created two plots of land to grow watermelons and corn.

It was cool in the forest. Xu Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, spread out the weeds evenly, let them wilt in the sun, and then made a fire to burn them.

I looked at the sugarcane roots that I had planted before. They had already sprouted. Outside the green area, there were five sprouts. The injection of the chemical stimulated their growth very quickly. They were growing very well and had absorbed enough water.

The roots of the sugarcane I made a wish in circle are thick and a little thin. It seems that I will have to spread some fertilizer after a while.

After dealing with the weeds, the two returned to the yard.

"Xiaozhi, I'm going to go check on the seedlings. You can cook first when the time is almost right."

"understood."

Xu Zhi took off his muddy straw sandals, shook them off, and was sweating profusely. The hair on his temples had stuck to his cheeks, and he quickly wiped it with his sleeves.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan took a dry towel from the shelf, wet it a little, and handed it to Xu Zhi.

"Change your wet clothes, be careful not to catch a cold later."

He took a straw hat, put it on his head, and walked towards the paddy field.

……

The water in the paddy fields was slightly warm under the sunlight.

Xu Yuan opened the drain and let some water flow out.

The seedlings were swaying, and a few ducks were swimming in the fields. Xuyuan waved and shouted to drive them away.

Ever since they knew that ducks could weed, the ducks in the village no longer dared to go to the ditches and were driven into the paddy fields. Over time, the ducks in the village have formed a memory of going into the paddy fields as soon as they leave the sheds.

This habit is not good. Xuyuan plans to put some fish fry in it after a while.

There was another one inside, squawking and trying to move around in the cracks, but it just wouldn't come out.

To make a wish, he had no choice but to roll up his trouser legs, step into the paddy field, and pick up a branch and wave it.

But I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise.

A duck egg with a green shell was shining brightly in the water. Xuyuan was overjoyed and waded through the water to pick it up.

In order to prevent any unexpected surprises, Xuyuan walked through the two paddy fields.

Surprisingly, there is only one.

Xuyuan took the only duck egg back home.
