Chapter 58 The Watermelon Seeds That Traveled Over
Chapter 58 Watermelon Seeds that Travel Over
"Sister, you can use this can of salt first. Save it a little and it should last for half a month."
Lin Xiao saw Jin Sanniang's depressed expression and knew what she was thinking.
"Oh, then I'm not polite!"
Jin Sanniang hurriedly held the bamboo tube like a treasure and stuffed it into her sleeve bag with a smile.
"Sister, I'm actually asking for something this time."
Lin Xiao suddenly looked at Jin Sanniang seriously and said solemnly.
"Oh? You said!"
Jin Sanniang looked at Lin Xiao's expression, calmed her smile and said seriously.
"I want you to help me find some different types of rice seedlings, preferably wild seedlings."
"This is fine. There are so many farmers coming from all over the country here. I can ask you to see if they have it."
Jin Sanniang agreed readily.
"Thank you!"
Lin Xiao said gratefully to Jin Sanniang.
"Brother Lin, I'll ask more, what do you want to make wild seedlings?"
Jin Sanniang asked curiously.
Yu Xilin also looked at Lin Xiao with the curious baby's eyes, waiting for her answer.
"I want to give it a try and see if hybrid rice with high yield per mu can be cultivated. If it is successful, the people will be able to eat rice!"
Lin Xiao smiled and said, his tone was plain, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
Jin Sanniang and Yu Xilin were both shocked and shocked when they heard this.
Although they didn't understand what hybrid rice was, they understood that Lin Xiao tried to make all the people eat rice.
But these are all things that the emperor should worry about, so why should Lin Xiao meddle in other people's business?
"Brother Lin, what are you trying to do this? You shouldn't want to rebel, right?"
Yu Xilin looked at Lin Xiao with some concern and asked in a low voice.
"Brother Lin, you don't have random thoughts. Pursuing rebellion is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans!"
Jin Sanniang also looked solemn. She knew the seriousness of the rebellion and couldn't help but become scared.
"Yeah, what are you thinking! I am not as rare as an emperor. I just want the people to eat, drink, and be in good health."
Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly, looked at Yuxilin and said:
"Just as I told you, water can carry a boat and can also overturn it. Only when the people eat and drink enough can they be at peace with themselves. Is that right?"
Yu Xilin nodded blankly.
Lin Xiao continued: "Who doesn't want to live a peaceful life? If everyone can't afford to eat, and they have to pay such heavy taxes, who can bear it?"
After hearing this, Jin Sanniang felt enlightened.
She finally understood why Lin Xiao did this, and she couldn't help but sigh that Lin Xiao's thoughts were really far-reaching!
Yu Xilin was already impressed by Lin Xiao to the point of being promising.
Although this guy is thin and small, she actually pretends more than anyone else in her heart!
If the current emperor could put the interests of the people first like Lin Xiao, the people would not have complained!
"Okay, stop here! If you continue, those who don't know will really misunderstand."
Seeing that Yu Xilin's eyes were filled with a strong admiration, Lin Xiao quickly waved his hand to stop them from talking.
She knew clearly what it means to have ears in the partition. If someone is really listening to it, it would be troublesome if it makes a rumor flying all over the sky.
"Young Master Yu, sister, it's getting late, I have to go back and clean up, and say goodbye."
Lin Xiao stood up with a smile, arched his fist, and said goodbye to Yu Xilin and Jin Sanniang.
Yu Xilin and Jin Sanniang hurriedly stood up and sent Lin Xiao out of the store.
After she left, the two of them returned to the store and sat back on the chair.
"Brother Lin is a great charity!"
Jin Sanniang looked at Yu Xilin and spoke slowly.
"Not only is it a great charity, but also a great talent!"
Yu Xilin read a few lines about what happened to the poet friends today and the two poems that Lin Xiao recited.
Although Jin Sanniang knows that she has seven or six orifices and is not known at all, she is quite appreciating Lin Xiao’s two poems, and her impression of Lin Xiao is even deeper.
...
Lin Xiao did not go back to the inn, but went to Hermes and went to find Zhang Yue.
She specially brought the bamboo tube containing salt on the pomace to give it to Zhang Yue.
She knew that Zhang Yue and her daughter would definitely not be used to having no refined salt for the past few days.
As expected, Zhang Yue's eyes were straightened when she saw the white salt:
"Sister, I really love you!"
"I'll go back tomorrow. In half a month, maybe it's me, maybe the two friends from yesterday came to deliver salt, and then I'll send some to you."
Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Yeah, thank you sisters!"
"Where is the little boat?"
"Watching watermelon seedlings in the backyard!"
"Watermelon seedlings?"
Lin Xiao was stunned when she heard this. She knew in the original owner's memory that the Great Xia Dynasty did not have watermelon at this time.
Even if it exists, it must be a product of the border, and without generations of improvement, the watermelons cannot be eaten at all.
Zhang Yue nodded and said a little shyly:
"I took Zhouzhou to see the seven-star beads and ate a lot of watermelons. The watermelon has seeds, but I don't like to spit out seeds, so I swallowed them all into my stomach. Later, I traveled through and made it convenient in the open space in the backyard, and it grew out."
"Take me to see!"
Lin Xiao was very excited and pulled Zhang Yue and ran towards the backyard.
Xiao Zhouzhou was squatting in the corner of the backyard and watching something seriously.
Following her gaze, I saw more than a dozen melon seedlings growing vigorously in the corner of the wall.
Lin Xiao walked over and observed carefully one by one. It turned out to be a watermelon seedling!
"Sister Xiaoyue, can I bring two of them back?"
Zhang Yue did not answer directly, but looked at Xiao Zhouzhou and asked for her opinions.
"all right."
Xiao Zhouzhou nodded without thinking.
"Thank you, Xiao Zhouzhou, don't worry, I will definitely cultivate them and produce sweet watermelons for you to eat!"
"Yeah! Thank you Kobayashi!"
Xiao Zhouzhou learned from Lin Xiaowu and the others and shouted to Lin Xiao, making Lin Xiao laugh and cry.
"Sister, the fat is almost sold. When you bring salt, bring some more to it. It's easy to sell!"
Zhang Yue said with a sweet smile on her face.
"So fast? It's almost sold in less than two days?"
Lin Xiao exclaimed in disbelief.
She knew that women were the main force in consumption, but she didn't expect it to be so terrifying!
"What are you doing! These are your money."
Zhang Yue put a bag of broken silver into Lin Xiao's hand. Lin Xiao weighed it and it was about a dozen taels.
"Okay, I'll go back and do more!"
...
It was already evening when we returned to the inn. Lin Xiaowu and Mazi had already prepared the meal and were waiting for Lin Xiao.
"Kobainzi, why are you holding the box?"
Seeing that Lin Xiao was struggling to hug him, Lin Xiaowu hurried forward to help.
As soon as the box fell on his hand, he could clearly feel a heavy weight.
"What is it in the box? Why is it so heavy?"
Lin Xiaowu struggled to move the box into the room and asked curiously.
"It's a good thing!"
Thank you for the recommendation ticket sent by the fairy in "Greedy Ya"! Thank you! Thank you!
