Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

The three of them chatted until the time of Youpai, when the convoy transporting grain arrived and stopped just now.

After unloading the truck, inspecting the rice, and confirming that it was correct, the deal was concluded. Zhang Yuanwai did not stop and went back with the convoy overnight.

Zhao Zhen paid Lu Zhuocheng's commission and watched the sergeant deliver the rice to the backyard warehouse. Zhao Zhen had dinner with Ji Qingwan and others.

The four of them were chatting while eating. Ji Qingwan said: "Husband, I am going to Bailiu Village to stay for a while in the next few days. Husband should return to the fantasy world from Bailiu Village this time."

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Jingzhe does not rake the ground, just like the steamed buns have lost their breath. It seems that the lady also knows the season. Is this like marrying a chicken and following the chicken?"

Ji Xuan covered her mouth and said with a smile: "On the Jingzhe Festival, the hoeing will not stop. Originally, I didn't want to go. Qingwan was worried about the troops in Qingxi Village, so I went to Bailiu Village to supervise it personally."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "What Madam considers is that these arms are no better than others. After all, they are not very intelligent. It will be inconvenient to leave them to others to command. We will pack them up tomorrow, wait one day, and return to the village the day after tomorrow."

Ji Qingwan said: "Just prepare some bedding and clothes, and take the maids, wives, and cooks with you. Let Wang Wang lead these fifteen sergeants to guard the house."

Ji Xuan said: "The spiritual materials collected in the backyard and the pearl rice delivered today will also be sent back to the village. I have completed the transaction today for the eight portions of willow leaves left by my husband. In exchange for a bag of white jade cucumber seeds and a bag of green Although the rest of the shelled pea seeds were not exchanged for spiritual objects or spiritual materials, I still made friends and sold a few boxwood root carvings and bone carvings of peonies. "

Zhao Zhen said: "Now is the season for planting cucumbers. Are the cucumbers and peas you mentioned advanced?"

Ji Xuan said: "White jade cucumbers and green shell peas are different species and have not entered the advanced level. In this transaction, I only wanted to use willow seeds to win over customers. I never thought that I could exchange them for spiritual objects. These two seeds are an unexpected harvest." "

"Mrs. Liu who listened to the exchange said that with the help of a guide, his family has worked as vegetable farmers for three generations and cultivated many different species. Although advanced vegetables are occasionally produced, they are not stable. White jade cucumbers and green shell peas are both stable. It’s a pity that the vegetables are not high-end, and the taste is slightly improved, which is worth a portion of tangerine.”

Zhao Zhen said: "It's appropriate. Since his family has exotic vegetables, I can buy more seeds in the future. If you encounter perennial vegetables and fruits, you have to spend more to buy them."

Ji Xuan said: "Husband, I have made a note of it. I will keep in touch with Mrs. Liu from now on. I wonder what perennial vegetables your husband mentioned?"

Zhao Zhen said: "I know there are leeks and asparagus. His family grows vegetables. I wonder if there are gourds and strawberries?"

Ji Qingwan asked: "Husband, what is a strawberry?"

Zhao Zhen said: "I heard Hu Jiaoyu say that this thing was originally grown in the deep mountains and old forests. Because the fruit is sour and sweet, it was cultivated by people. It is rare in Gao country."

Ji Xuan nodded and said, "I'm slowly asking around. If I meet someone, I'll see if I can buy some seeds."

"Husband, have you gone to my brother's place today to find out more about the situation in Anling Dundui?" Ji Qingwan looked at Zhao Zhen and said.

When Zhao Zhen was about to speak, Ji Minghan said first: "Sister, I have asked you clearly. My brother has no objection to my husband going there and asking him to prepare things to exorcise evil spirits, including black dog blood, black donkey hooves, rooster comb blood, and glutinous rice. etc."

Ji Qingwan said: "These are ordinary things. The Song family can still lack them. Since you invited your husband, there must be a reason. Could it be that he still dislikes the production of too many treasures and intends to share them?"

Zhao Zhen said: "That's what my brother said. If Song Shiqin comes tomorrow, let's hear what he has to say. If he doesn't come, we will go back to Bailiu Village, and my wife will supervise the farming. I will go back to the fantasy world, and I won't be able to remove the piles in Anling."

Ji Qingwan listened and nodded. He said: "Husband, it's getting late today. Let me take a rest early."

After hearing this, Ji Xuan and the other two went back to the east and west wings respectively. Zhao Zhen stopped Ji Qingwan from going up to the bedroom on the second floor. Needless to say, they had a happy night.

Early the next morning, Zhao Zhen and his wife had just finished breakfast when they saw Zhao Jin walking in. Zhao Zhen quickly got up to greet him and said, "Father, why are you here today?"

Zhao Jin said: "I heard from your wife the day before yesterday that she collected a lot of high-grade bones, dog treasures, bezoars and other items. Our family also slaughtered many animals and left a lot of bones and horns. I packed them up and gave them to you. come over."

Zhao Zhen followed Zhao into the front yard and took a look, filling five or six sacks. Zhao Zhen was surprised: "So many?"

Zhao Jin said: "These first-level bones are not very useful and are sold at a very low price. The horns are better. One horn is worth more than a cow. It just grows on the outside. The farmers who raise cattle are not stupid, so they can naturally see it." . This will be calculated together with the price of the horns.”

"Father, is there any bezoar in it?"

Zhao Jin said: "What are you thinking about? There are people in the countryside who are ignorant and don't know what kind of cattle produce bezoars. Such cattle are not available at normal prices around the county. Anyone with bezoars in their body must be thin, with red eyes and shiny hair tubes. It calls at night and doesn’t like to eat grass.”

"You're lucky to receive two. After all, you buy a lot of bezoars."

After unloading the car, Zhao Jin said: "Okay, you can clean up by yourself, I will go back to sell meat."

Zhao Zhen sent his father out and asked people to pour out the bones, reclassify them, and put them together with the bones Ji Xuan had purchased. There were only two cow horns and one sheep horn inside, and the rest were all kinds of bones.

After cleaning up, there was a commotion outside the door. Zhao Zhen was about to ask when Su Dong came over and said, "Sir, the steward of Tianlei has arrived with many bicycle frames."

Zhao Zhen said: "Go and arrange for water to be drawn, let the animals drink water, rest for a while, and then load the carts back to Bailiu Village."

Su Dong agreed immediately.

Early this morning, Zhao Zhen sent Tian Xing and arranged a servant to go to Bailiu Village to inform Tian Lei. Let him drive 30 horse-drawn carts and come today to transport the things back to Bailiu Village.

The animals pulling the carts rested for a while, and Tian Lei asked them to re-harness them. All the things to be transported were loaded onto the carts.

While Tian Lei was busy, Song Shiqin, who Zhao Zhen was waiting for, also came. After greeting, Song Shiqin pointed at the farmers carrying things back and forth and asked, "Brother Zhao Zhen, what are you doing?"

Zhao Zhen said, "Brother Song, I bought some pearl rice yesterday and was about to transport it back to Bailiu Village. Now that the Waking of Insects has just passed, it is the busy farming season, so I moved to Bailiu Village to live for a few days."

Song Shiqin listened and said, "Brother Zhao Zhen, I won't beat around the bush and will tell you straight. This time I came to you for the matter of Anling Tudui. Please help me."

Zhao Zhen said, "Brother Song, I also asked around. Although there are ghosts in Anling Tudui, your family is well prepared, so it shouldn't be a problem for you, Brother Song."
