But this is not unusual. The rice seeds used for sowing will be chosen to have large and plump grains. This is true for everyone.

"Do you still remember that I went to Li's house to attend Wan'er's hairpin banquet?"

"I met a businessman who has been traveling to sea all year round at Miss Li's banquet, known as Boss Hu."

"I heard that my ancestors still have Hu blood. During the chat, I learned that Boss Hu bought some rice seeds from the Hu people."

"The Hu people said that this kind of rice is called regenerated rice, which means that like leeks, it can grow another crop after one crop, so I bought it and planned to come back and try it."

"If it's true, then we can harvest rice twice, harvest winter wheat again, and then plant black vegetables in the winter. Wouldn't this be a good harvest?"

The old man of the Gu family was the first to not believe it: "This is impossible, cough cough cough... I have been farming all my life and I have never heard of regenerated rice."

"If rice can grow like leeks, we will never have to go hungry again."

"Don't listen to the nonsense of those businessmen. If the Hu people had such good things, they would have been extremely rich long ago. Why do they still have to go across the ocean to make a living in the Yu Dynasty?"

Yang smiled and said: "What your father said makes sense, don't believe the nonsense of those businessmen."

Lin Shuangshuang was not in a hurry, and still said slowly: "Mom, I have seen an introduction to this kind of regenerated rice in a book."

"It's just that this rice seed hasn't been handed down, so maybe it's true."

"I was thinking that whether you plant wheat first or rice first, it would still be the same, so why not give it a try?"

"Dad, please check whether these rice seeds are of the highest quality."

"If the rice seeds are good, then we will plant rice first. Even if it is not regenerated rice, the yield of high-quality rice seeds will be higher than that of ordinary rice seeds, right?"

"Besides, Boss Hu is a big business man. Can he be a fool?"

"As the saying goes, rich people are not stupid just because they have money. Otherwise, how did they earn their wealth?"

"So, other people's vision must be higher and further than ours. Do you think this is true?"

When Gu Shunxin heard this, he thought, well, there's nothing wrong with that!

"Let me see."

Gu Shunxin reached out and grabbed a handful of rice seeds, looked at them carefully, smelled them, picked up one and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Finally, he nodded and confirmed: "Yes, it is good rice seed, better than what our family has used before."

Lin Shuangshuang smiled. These are great agricultural scientists. After thousands of years of experience, they have cultivated high-quality and high-yielding regenerated rice seeds from generation to generation. How can they be good?

Gu Shunxin nodded: "Listen to the fourth wife's words and plant rice first this year."

The old man of the Gu family has already made up his mind, so the Gu family naturally has no objections.

Besides, every time Lin Shuangshuang said that if he could achieve something, he would definitely achieve it, and she was definitely right.

In the next few days, the Gu family went to the fields to sow seeds together. Rice seeds were similar to wheat seeds. They were scattered on the ground to wait for germination, and then the seedlings were planted and transplanted.

Therefore, the people in Hegou Village did not find that they were planting rice seeds instead of wheat seeds. After all, everyone was busy in the fields these days.

After the sowing was finished, Lin Shuangshuang had two free days. Whenever she had time these days, she would go to the new house to check out what should be added and what should be tidied up.

"Daughter-in-law, these flowers are so beautiful, as beautiful as you."

Lin Shuangshuang smiled and rolled her eyes at him: "Idiot."

"I'm not a fool, I'm your husband."

"Hehehe..."

Yaomei next to her looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard and the pavilion and vegetable garden. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them.

This small farmyard is different from other people's yards. It doesn't look like a farmhouse at all. Instead, it has bright windows and is neat and elegant.

Even the ground is flat and smooth stone ground, no longer afraid of turning into muddy puddles when it rains.

The walls are also painted white, making it look clean and elegant. If you plant some flowers and plants in the courtyard, it will look better than those pavilions, rockeries and flowing water.

"Sister, our house is the most elegant and beautiful house in the village."

Before Lin Shuangshuang could say anything, Xiao Chen looked at her proud look and couldn't help but remind her: "Second sister, you can't talk like this."

"You can easily make people jealous by talking like this. You have to be humble, even if what you say is the truth."

Yaomei looked dissatisfied: "Am I right?"

"Didn't you also say that the house at home is beautiful, the yard is clean, the house is tidy, and there is a study room and desk, everything is fine?"

"I have said that our yard is indeed very good, but you can't say that our yard is the best in the village. Outsiders will feel uncomfortable if they hear it, and it will bring trouble to the eldest sister."

Yaomei pouted: "There are no outsiders here."

Lin Shuangshuang looked at the two little quarrels and found it quite interesting.

The yard was almost finished, and Lin Shuangshuang planned to move back.

"Mom, is there any custom in our village when moving to a new house? Do you want to invite relatives and friends to the housewarming party?"

Yang nodded: "It needs to be done."

"Whenever a family in the village builds a new house, they will invite the whole village to a banquet on the day they move to their new house."

"The villagers will give gifts, such as a chicken, a basket of eggs, a pound of brown sugar, a piece of cloth..."

"What about the banquet specifications?"

"The people in the village are not so particular and they are all from poor families. Each table has twenty dishes and one or two meat dishes are considered good."

Lin Shuangshuang nodded: "Okay, I know what's going on."

"While I have nothing to do in the past few days, I just organized a housewarming party. I asked my mother to help organize it. I don't understand some customs and procedures."

"Also, please help me calculate how many people there are in the village and how many tables should be set up..."

"Okay, I'll go and notify the villagers right away."

Three days later, Lin Shuangshuang moved to a new home, and six tables were set up in the courtyard to entertain distinguished guests, such as County Magistrate Li and wealthy businessmen in the town.

Thirty tables were set up at the gate and all the neighbors were invited.

The banquet is also very particular. After all, the county magistrate is here to attend, so it can't be too shabby, so it follows the normal standard of meat and vegetables.

The banquet in the village consists of five meat dishes, and they are all hard dishes, braised lamb, soy sauce beef, pork knuckle, braised fish, stewed goose...

Other eggs, minced meat, chicken gizzards, haggis, etc. are fried together with vegetarian vegetables, and are considered vegetarian dishes on the Gu family's banquet.

While eating, the villagers praised: "The Gu family is really prosperous. This house is built more elegantly than the houses in the town."

"No one can say otherwise. When it was first built, it was gray and empty. I didn't think it looked good."

"Who knew that this tidy up would be so beautiful? Living in this house is a real pleasure."

"Let's not talk about the house, let's talk about the banquet and the dishes in this fire pot are more sumptuous than the wedding banquet in the village."

"Yes, yes, I have never had such a good meal in my life."

"It's all meat and vegetables, and I don't even bother to add oil and salt. The aroma is confusing..."

"Do you still remember what Lao Hu's family ate from the bottom of the cooking pot? Scrambled eggs with leeks are considered meat dishes..."
