Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Master Bai stabilized the bowl and asked, "Is your wheat seed made of gold?"

Bai Erlang thought about it seriously and then shook his head: "No."

Master Bai really wanted to put the bowl on his face.

He put down the tableware, rubbed his forehead and said, "Forget it, I won't tell you. After dinner, you can go and find Shanbao and Manbao, and I will tell them."

Bai Erlang took a big mouthful of food unhappily. He clearly said that his father would talk here, and grandmother Liu would talk to them. Why should father want them to talk here?

Master Bai glanced at his son and said seriously, "Erlang, Shanbao and Manbao are your senior brothers and seniors. Don't call them by their names in the future, but ask senior brothers and seniors to know?"

Bai Erlang looked at his father tearfully.

Master Bai was a little soft-hearted, and said softly: "Even if you don't call them brothers and sisters, you can call them by their nicknames. Shan Bao is your cousin, and Man Bao is younger than you, right?"

"Then I'll call them nicknames!" Bai Erlang made an immediate decision, and then took advantage of the situation to sell a wave of their wheat seeds, "Dad, you won't suffer from buying our wheat seeds, we all went to the county grain store today to see it. Now, their wheat seeds are sold for one hundred and forty-four cents a buck, and their wheat seeds are not comparable to ours."

"How do you know you can't compare?"

"Of course I know it's not comparable. Our family's wheat seeds are bought from grain stores, right? But the seeds of our small farm are bought from Manbao's family. The highest we have per acre is five stones, and the lowest is also Three and a half stone."

Master Bai's eyes widened, and he couldn't help sitting up straight, "What did you say, what is your highest yield per mu?"

The voice was so loud that Bai Erlang almost fell off the chair. The old lady Bai, who had been eating quietly, couldn't help but glared at him and said, "Speak well, just speak well, why are you yelling at the child?"

Mr. Bai was about to speak, when Mrs. Bai suddenly said: "Okay, it's a pity that you are still scholars. You don't understand if you eat or speak. You are not allowed to talk during dinner, so let me eat first."

Master Bai's breath was held in his chest, and he almost choked to death.

He looked at the silly son and stopped talking, but under the stare of the old mother, he didn't dare to speak again, he could only lower his head and eat quickly.

Then, as soon as the tableware and chopsticks were put down, regardless of whether Bai Erlang was full or not, he directly took him out and went out, "Mother, Erlang is also full, I will go to the school to test his homework."

Old Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai couldn't stop it, so they could only watch him take the child away.

With a worried look on Mrs. Bai's face, the old Mrs. Bai said, "Okay, don't worry, it's a good thing to hear that sound, he won't beat the second child."

Bai Erlang also felt that his father would not beat him, so he followed him obediently.

Master Bai took his son to the study, turned around and instructed the servants: "Go to the kitchen and let someone prepare some food, um, prepare more snacks, meat, and some sweet soup, and then go and invite Master Tang and Miss Man over. , just say I have something to talk to them about."

After everyone left, Master Bai let his son sit on the chair and asked, "After all, your wheat is really so productive?"

"Of course, or we watched Bai Zhuangtou bring the three long-term workers to weigh together, and we also watched the storage," Bai Erlang had already been counted by Bai Shanbao and Manbao before. I just memorized a few simple numbers, and then I knew a truth, "Dad, if you used our wheat seeds, the granary will overflow in one year, and the country will be rich in two years."

Master Bai: "...Who taught you this?"

"No one taught me, I heard it from Man Bao."

As soon as he heard it, it was just bragging, and he was a little worried, "Why didn't you learn it well, you learned all this?"

"Who said I didn't learn well? I'll be able to farm, will you? I'll still watch the scales, will you? I'll tie the grain bag with a rope, will you?"

Master White:  …

Now is the time to eat dinner, so Man Bao naturally eats dinner at home, but the old Zhou family is a little later than the Bai family, so she just sat down at the table and picked up the tableware and the door was closed. was knocked.

Big head ran to open the door.

The servants of the Bai family stood at the door and saluted, smiled and said, "Master Zhou, my master asked Miss Man to come over and talk about things."

The old Zhoutou hesitated: "Wait for this child to eat dinner before going there. I will ask her brothers to send it there."

"This..." The servant said, "Master Zhou, our master specially prepared meals for the three little masters. The young master of the hall should have passed by, and we are waiting for Miss Man..."

The old Zhoutou immediately said: "Okay, you can take her there. She is young. If she is not sensible, you can take care of her more."

Then he turned around and said to Man Bao, "Don't eat it yet. I'll let your sister-in-law keep it for you. You go and see what Master Bai has ordered."

Now the old Zhou family has divided two tables to eat, and Man Bao is the only child at the table. Hearing that, he put down the tableware and chopsticks he just picked up, turned around and left with the next person.

When the big head closed the door again, the old Zhou Tou took some of the rice from the full treasure bowl and gave it to the old wife, and put the rest in his own bowl.

Little Qian, who was about to put it away:...

Old Zhou Tou glanced at her and said, "Can the Bai family eat less Manbao?"

Qian Shi glanced at him, handed Manbao's egg custard to Zhou Lang, and said, "Take it for Wutou to eat."

Wednesday Lang should go.

The old Zhou family started to eat.

When they arrived at Bai's house, Bai Shanbao had already arrived. He was sitting at the table in the study to eat when he saw Manbao and waved to her.

Bai Erlang was not full at first, so he sat down to eat when he saw that the two of them were eating deliciously.

Master Bai happily sat aside and talked to them, "Shan Bao, how much did you harvest for the twenty mu of wheat?"

"Not much, only eighty-three stones."

Master Bai did some calculations, and his heart trembled slightly, "How did you plant them?"

"Just like that."

After thinking about it, Master Bai felt that he couldn't ask such a question, so he changed the way of asking, "Who taught you to farm?"

Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang looked at Man Bao together.

Man Bao said: "My father!"

She said, "How do I plant it in my family? I want Bai Zhuangtou to plant it. If Bai Zhuangtou doesn't understand, just ask my father, and my father will tell him."

Master Bai nodded, "That kind of..."

"The seeds are also mine."

"Where did you buy it from?"

"I didn't buy it, I kept it at home," Man Bao said, "Last year's flood, only my family's wheat was the best, so the villagers exchanged wheat seeds with my family, and my father simply kept all the wheat in my family as seeds. ."

Man Bao knew what he was having doubts, and explained carefully: "Later we had a small farm, and we wanted to grow wheat in the small farm. I told my father and asked Bai Zhuangtou to go to my house to buy wheat seeds."

Anyway, there are not many, there are about 400 catties of wheat seeds in total, and the rest of the wheat is almost rounded up.

However, Master Bai was very suspicious, how could the wheat seeds of the old Zhou family be so good?
