Leisurely Daily [System]

This morning, it was just dawn, and the time seemed to be past six o'clock. There was still a while before Li Guan Xiujin came over every day. Carried into Beishan.

Jiang Fan hasn't been in Beishan for a long time. He used to go in to hunt two prey and add a dish. Now the tigress and cubs come down the mountain to send them off from time to time. In addition, the prey in the mountain are not as delicious as the ones raised at home. I was lazy and went into the mountain.

This time he went into the mountains, but not to hunt, but to grow things.

Before the mutual market was closed, through this exchange, some things flowed into Dazhou, such as peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes and pumpkins, etc., all flowed into Dazhou from other countries through the mutual market, but there was one more thing, There is currently no big week.

That is sweet potatoes.

After all, this is an era of watching the sky and eating. Famine may come at any time. Jiang Fan learned that there have been several famine disasters since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was either flood or drought. With such a thing, except for the top-level personnel, other ordinary people will face high food prices, and their lives will be difficult.

There is no father of hybrid rice in Dazhou, and there is no such or other method to greatly increase the yield of grain. These plants are relatively delicate, and if they are not well served, the yield will be low.Sweet potatoes are light-loving and drought-tolerant, have strong fertilizer absorption ability and are resistant to barrenness. They are much easier to grow than rice and wheat.The most important thing is that it has a strong ability to fill the stomach. If it is stored properly in the cellar, it can be stored for up to eight months.

As I said before, the known seeds collected by Jiang Fan's system are the world he lives in, not just a big week.

Jiang Fan couldn't find sweet potato seeds through practical means in Dazhou, but in the system, he could directly use the system currency to buy seeds.

And this season is the time for raising sweet potato seedlings.

Jiang Fan entered Beishan without telling Guan Xiu. He planned to pick a place in Beishan, sow some sweet potato seeds, cut the seedlings in May, and plant them in early October at the latest.

It wasn't long before Jiang Fan entered the mountain, maybe he heard the movement here, or maybe he smelled the familiar scent of Jiang Fan, the tigress and cubs appeared beside him in a short while.Jiang Fan was worried that time might be too late, so he fed a handful of fruit to the tiger cub, and then asked it to carry him quickly to the deep mountains.

The tiger cub carried Jiang Fan as if there was no one on it, and ran very fast. Fortunately, Jiang Fan lowered his body and buried his face in its fur as soon as he got on his back, otherwise his face would be scratched by the branches on both sides all the way down. spend.

Finally, Jiang Fan felt that he had almost left, so he told the tiger cub to stop. He got off the tiger cub's back and chose a field with relatively few plants. The sweet potato seeds in the package were scattered, reburied and put in some nutrients, so they can be left alone for the time being.

Jiang Fan took out two more handfuls of fruit and fed them to the tigress and cubs, and said to them, "When you two patrol the territory every day, come over and take a look for me, don't let other animals eat the seedlings that come out."

The two tigers hummed twice, not sure if they understood.

Of course, Jiang Fan asked the two tigers to show him the sweet potato field without being so unreliable. He took the potion of repellent grass and poured it around the sweet potato field. At least for half a month, no animal would dare to go there. I ran away, and half a month later, I believe this place will also become a restricted area that nearby animals dare not approach.

After planting sweet potatoes and feeding the two tigers, Jiang Fan asked the cubs to carry him out, hurried out of the mountain, and returned to the Zhuangzi to wash up. It was not long before Li Guan Xiujin came over.

Guan Xiujin came back this time specifically to pick up Jiang Fan and go back to Beijing with him to meet the little emperor.

Therefore, after only two days of rest, Jiang Fan packed a bunch of presents and set off on the boat back to Beijing with Guan Xiujin.

When Jiang Fan came to Dazhou, it was the first time to take a boat seriously. Just like when he first came here, it took time to get used to the carriage. During the few days when he got on the boat, Jiang Fan always felt a wave of pain in his heart. The feeling of nausea, I can't vomit it out, it's just uncomfortable, and I have to steal a few purple fragrant fruits every time to suppress it.His body is still like this after remodeling, if it was changed to when he first came here, he doesn't know what kind of dizziness he would be in.

After a few days of getting used to it, the nausea finally subsided, Jiang Fan regained his energy, and played chess with Guan Xiujin on the boat to watch the scenery.

The river leads directly to Shangjing, and Jiang Fan and the others often meet other merchant ships. The piers along the way are even bustling with many ships berthing. There is an endless stream of unloading and loading merchants and workers. Occasionally, they will encounter patrolling sailors on the river. , to prevent water bandits from robbing merchant ships.

Less than ten days after the two of Jiang Fan walked, the boat entered the range of the Shangjing Canal. Except for Zhang Shumo who followed him to Prince An's Mansion, the people Jiang Fan brought back to the small house in Shangjing.

The last time I came to Prince An's Mansion was in summer, when the courtyard was full of green trees and red flowers.The scenery of Prince An's Mansion in early spring is different, the biggest difference is the jade cocoons hanging every few steps.

The relationship between the two hadn't been broken before, so the guest room that Guan Xiujin arranged for Jiang Fan was still in the independent courtyard next door. This time, Jiang Fan and Guan Xiujin lived in the same courtyard.

Of course, just for show, the two of them still slept in the same bed at night.

He was going to see his family soon, Jiang Fan felt a little nervous, he lay in Guan Xiujin's arms and asked, "When am I going to see the emperor?"

Guan Xiujin caressed Jiang Fan's back and said softly, "Wait for you to rest for two days."

The two floated on the river for a few days, and Jiang Fan didn't feel bad anymore, but his head was still dizzy, and he felt his body shaking while lying on the bed, and he really needed to rest for two days to relax.

This time Jiang Fan acted like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws, carefully prepared a bunch of clothes, and went to try on the clothes on the first day of rest in the palace.

"What do you think of me wearing this?" Jiang Fan asked Guan Xiujin, who was sitting opposite him, holding a purple dress that looked quite luxurious, "Would I look unstable and frivolous in wearing it?"

Guan Xiujin sat there upright, shaking his head: "No, you look good in it."

Jiang Fan: "I think your answer is a bit perfunctory."

Then he threw down the purple clothes, picked another white one for comparison, and asked, "Is this a little too ordinary, and it doesn't look like a temperament?"

Guan Xiujin said, "No, white suits you."

"What about the beige one?"

"good."

"What about the pink and blue ones?"

"Also."

Jiang Fan said, "I think you'd say I'm earth-shatteringly handsome even if I'm wearing a sackcloth."

Guan Xiujin nodded in agreement, mainly because people are good-looking, and no matter how inferior clothes are put on, they will not look ugly.

Jiang Fan finally rearranged the box of clothes he had messed up, and picked out a white set. Forget it, let's make a few more face masks at night to make his face look better, in case the little emperor is a face-controlling dog.

Although the real purpose can't be told to the family, since he came to Shangjing, he must go to say hello to Gu Fangqiu.

Jiang Fan told Guan Xiujin that there was no need for a carriage, and only Feng San and Feng Sizui were behind him, and he took Zhang Shumo and walked out.

The last time Jiang Fan wandered around Shangjing for a few days in order to avoid Guan Xiujin. Although the time was short, since the re-opening of the mutual market, Shangjing still felt a bit lively to Jiang Fan.Didn't you see that the two alleys he passed all the way faced the arena? They all said that there were dancers from different races in their building at night.

Dazhou’s mutual market is similar to the Silk Road that Jiang Fan knows, bartering things, other countries need luxury goods such as tea, silk and porcelain from Dazhou, Dazhou will exchange some rare animals from the other country , plant leather goods, medicinal materials and spices, jewelry and gold and silver, and interracial women.

When women from different races entered Dazhou, they were either bought by wealthy businessmen or sold into brothels to attract traffic.

This situation, in the past few years, has not happened for a long time as the mutual market has been closed one after another.

For this, Jiang Fan can't say whether it is good or bad, because even he is now a member of the buying and selling population.

Jiaoyan Pavilion covers an area of ​​three large frontages, half of which sell skin care products and the other half sell fabrics.Except for the exaggerated customer flow during the opening period, the customer flow has been stable now, and the monthly turnover is not too much. Unless there are more rich people holding weddings that month, the turnover of fabrics will increase relatively. .

At this time, there was a carriage parked in front of the gate of Jiaoyan Pavilion, and there were several women standing inside. When Jiang Fan entered, he happened to hear one of the women begging, "Gu shopkeeper, I really beg you, just sell me this flower." Let's have a pot. No one can persuade my father's irritable personality, and only your flowers can make him calm down."

I don't know how long this girl begged, Jiang Fan listened to Gu Fangqiu's compromise and replied: "Ms. Zhao's words are all about this, if I persist, it will seem unreasonable. Now this flower is only left A pot, let Lady Zhao get it, and if someone comes to buy it in the future, I will really have nothing."

Mrs. Zhao was overjoyed, she was about to cry with joy, "Thank you, shopkeeper Gu, thank you so much!"

Jiang Fan saw Mrs. Zhao took a bank note and handed it to Gu Fangqiu. Gu Fangqiu put it in the box next to it after a glance, and pushed a pot of flowers on the counter to Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao held it carefully, and bought a lot of goods in the store as if she was flattered, and then left happily.

The crowd dispersed quite a bit, Lu Yunying saw Jiang Fan, her eyes widened, and she was about to speak to call for someone, when Jiang Fan shook her finger at her, Lu Yunying quickly swallowed her words and smiled quietly.

Gu Fangqiu also saw him. Gu Fangqiu also lived in a small courtyard in Shangjing. The people brought by Jiang Fan went there yesterday. Although he himself came every time, Gu Fangqiu also knew that Jiang Fan had entered Beijing.She smiled calmly, and when Jiang Fan approached, she whispered: "The one who lives in the palace?"

Jiang Fan called his cousin, and said, "Well, it's inconvenient to live in a small house." He looked around the counter, but he couldn't see a pot of water-stopping flowers, "What happened just now?"

Zhishuihua has also been cultivated by him in the past year or so, but he remembered that when Gu Fangqiu came over last year, he brought a lot of them, and they were placed in the store just like the town.The four seasons in the store are like spring, so the Zhishui flowers bloom without seasonality. The one that Mrs. Zhao took away just now was a pot of Zhishui flowers that bloomed just right.
