Farming in another world to make a fortune

Yu Zhou actually wanted to take advantage of his spare time in the evening to check out the two dry lands that belonged to him, and then bring back some wild vegetables.

Unexpectedly, Jin Chuan was very serious, when he heard that he was going to pick wild vegetables, he immediately put down the things in his hands, and went to the kitchen to take a small basket with him.

Yu Zhou is like all men who don’t like to carry bags when they go out. Not only do they not take them themselves, but they also think it’s unnecessary, “We can’t pick many wild vegetables, and each person can bring them back with a little.”

Jin Chuan took out a small hoe from the basket, raised it and said, "There are still two eggs left from Aunt Chen's gift. I want to dig some shepherd's purse. I can make scrambled eggs with shepherd's purse tomorrow."

Everything has been arranged, what else can Yu Zhou say?

When they went out, they happened to catch up with the villagers returning from work in the field, so they ran into three women carrying baskets not far from the yard.

After seeing them, the women exchanged glances with each other and whispered a few words, then the fat aunt glared at the other two, and walked a few steps closer to Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan: "Boy Zhou, what's the matter with you?" It's the brother you memorized a few days ago, what's his name?"

"It's called Jinchuan." Yu Zhou has no impression of these women at all, but since they are from the same village, he will live here for a long time in the future. In order to maintain a harmonious relationship with the villagers, he can't neglected.

"The name sounds nice." The woman looked Jin Chuan back and forth, "He looks handsome."

Besides her, the two women who were a little further away also looked at Jin Chuan.

The people Jin Chuan had come into contact with before were either reserved or, like his stepmother, outright expressed disgust.

Looking at you clearly like this, but without any malicious eyes, made him a little at a loss for a while, and he couldn't hide.

Yu Zhou noticed his uneasiness, took a step forward indiscriminately, and said to the woman, "Aunts, are you back from the field?"

"That's right," the women's eyes turned to him, "It's almost dark, where are you going?"

"There is no food at home, go dig some wild vegetables to eat tomorrow." Yu Zhou said.

The woman who stood up to talk to them rolled her eyes and did not answer, but one of the two women behind her changed her face slightly, and said with a smile: "I have to go back to feed the pigs, I won't talk to you anymore."

Seeing someone taking the lead, the other person followed suit and said, "Let's go together, I still have something to do at home."

As soon as the two of them left, the woman who had been talking to Yu Zhou glanced at the vegetables in the vegetable basket, hesitated for a moment and said, "Then go pick wild vegetables, I won't delay you."

After speaking, he followed up.

When everyone was gone, Jin Chuan turned his head: "You just..."

"It wasn't intentional." Yu Zhou interrupted quickly, he just wanted to draw the attention of those people to himself, who knew that they would think that he was trying to get their idea of ​​what was in their vegetable basket.

Jin Chuan lowered his head, and secretly smiled where Yu Zhou couldn't see, "Then let's dig shepherd's purse quickly."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Yu Zhou to answer, he walked away with a basket in his hand, walking briskly, and seemed to be in a good mood.

When the two walked halfway, they met the Chen family father and son who came back from the field with a hoe on their shoulders.

Chen Feng didn't even say hello, and asked as soon as they met each other: "The aunts surrounded your door just now, didn't they make things difficult for you?"

"No," Yu Zhou said, "They just asked Xia Jinchuan's name."

"Is that so?" Chen Feng glanced at the basket in Jin Chuan's hand, and pondered for a while, "You guys are going to dig wild vegetables, I'll go with you."

After speaking, he greeted Uncle Chen and motioned him to go back first.

Yu Zhou: "I still want to see my two dry lands."

"That's even better, I'll go dig in your two fields," Chen Feng said, "The wild vegetables in your field grow very well."

Yu Zhou: ...

Before, Chen Feng only told him where the dry land was, and Yu Zhou had never been there. Now that Chen Feng was with him, they quickly found the exact location.

In fact, without Chen Feng's telling, Yu Zhou guessed which two pieces of land belonged to him from a distance.

Because on a hillside, except for the two fields that are full of weeds, the rest of the land is clean regardless of whether there are crops or not.

The two pieces of land owned by Yu Zhou’s family are not small, the larger one is estimated to be about an acre, half of which is planted with wheat, and the other half is planted with rapeseed. Just looking at it at a glance, the weeds in the field are as tall as rapeseed.

The other vacant land should be reserved for planting after spring, but other people's vacant land had already been plowed as early as last winter, and when the time came, the crops could be planted with a little work.

Only his is still a solid piece.

Especially after arriving in the field, Chen Feng still didn't forget to say: "I didn't lie to you, you have the most wild vegetables in your field."

Yu Zhou: "... Hurry up and dig."

"I'll just dig some," Chen Feng said, "I came here with you mainly to tell you that among the aunts who surrounded you just now, the fat one at the front is Aunt Qing, who is the daughter-in-law of Uncle Qing, the Orion. The other two, the one on the left is Aunt Gui, and the one on the right is Aunt Chun. Aunt Gui speaks harsh words and likes to gossip behind her back. She is notoriously difficult in the village. If you meet her again in the future, can you Avoid as much as possible.”

"I'll make a note of it." Yu Zhou nodded, knowing that Chen Feng was doing it for their own good.

Living in the village is like this. It is inevitable to deal with everyone. Being able to know everyone's temperament in advance can also facilitate their integration into the group more quickly.

He listened attentively, but Jin Chuan, who was focused on digging wild vegetables beside him, was stunned and raised his head in doubt: "You... don't know anyone in the village?"

"You still don't know?" Chen Feng said, "The day before he came back from carrying you, he just fell into the water, and he doesn't remember many things."

Yu Zhou felt that Chen Feng's words were really noisy today, "Can't even dig wild vegetables to stop you?"

"I came here to tell you this out of good intentions. If I accidentally conflict with Aunt Gui, I will annoy you at that time." Chen Feng pouted.

"Thank you." Yu Zhou said as he grabbed a shepherd's purse from the field and threw it into his hand.

"Just one shepherd's purse wants to get rid of me." Chen Feng muttered.

Yu Zhou ignored him, and quickly glanced at Jin Chuan, seeing that his expression was no longer as confused as before, so he lowered his head and continued to pick vegetables.

There are a lot of weeds in his field, and there are indeed a lot of wild vegetables. After digging for a while, the basket is already full.

Jin Chuan pressed down a little, picked it up again, weighed it and said, "It's enough for tomorrow, let's go back."

"Wait for me a little longer." Chen Feng, who didn't know when he slipped into the corner, said.

Yu Zhou asked: "Didn't you say that digging a little is enough?"

Chen Feng: "Hey, didn't you suddenly think that the shepherd's purse is so tender, you can dig more and let my mother make dumplings for me?"

It feels great to have a mother and eat dumplings.

Well, for Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan, having a mother is already a great thing, not to mention dumplings.

So the two looked at each other, said nothing, and buried themselves in digging for Chen Feng for a while.

Being delayed by Chen Feng, it was already dark when the three of them returned home.

Aunt Chen, who was waiting in the yard, heard voices and the sound of the yard door opening, and poked her head over the fence, "Boy Zhou, are you back?"

"Well, I came back with Brother Feng." Yu Zhou said.

"Is the basket in your hand still holding something? Come here and pick it up," Aunt Chen said, "Yu Qing's wife brought you some things. Seeing that you're not at home, let me put them here first."

Yu Zhou was stunned for a moment, Yu Qing's daughter-in-law, isn't that the aunt he met when he went out just now?

Aunt Chen left for a while, then came back soon, and first handed over two lettuces through the fence, and after Yu Zhou picked them up and put them on the ground, she handed over ten eggs one after another.

Leaving aside the fact that eggs are sold in the town, one can be exchanged for a penny, that is, lettuce. Yu Zhou also overheard Aunt Chen mentioning that this year, because it was too cold, there would be nothing in the nearby villages. It looks good, if anyone has it, it will definitely sell for a good price in the town.

Holding these things, he felt that it would be no good to accept it, and it would be no good if he didn't take it.

Aunt Chen saw that he was hesitant to speak, so she asked, "What's the matter?"

"We met Aunt Qing when we were going out just now, she was carrying a vegetable basket, and I said I was going to dig wild vegetables." Yu Zhou explained what happened just now with some embarrassment.

Aunt Chen understood the meaning of his words, and couldn't help laughing, "It's okay, Aunt Qing brought these here after dark, probably because she didn't want other people in the village to know, you collect the things first, and come back later when you have a chance." Just go back."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Feng answered in the yard: "The people Yu Zhou met at the door before, besides Aunt Qing, Aunt Gui and Aunt Chun."

Aunt Chen froze for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

Even if she didn't mention Yu Zhou, she knew it. It is estimated that by tomorrow, everyone in the village would know that he asked the aunt in the village for food.

In the next few days, both Yu Zhou and Jin Chuan stayed at home and didn't go out much. The two of them copied books and embroidered embroidery.

In the middle, after Aunt Chen came to visit the door once, Aunt Chen would occasionally bring Xiaojuan and a sewing basket to find Jinchuan to do needlework together.

No matter how young Xiaojuan was, she was still a girl, so every time she came, Jinchuan would change the embroidery place to the eaves.

When Yu Zhou finished copying a few pages and went out, he would see the three of them sitting together doing work.

Xiaojuan chattered a lot, and Aunt Chen would also chat with Jinchuan from time to time, the yard was much more lively than when it was just the two of them.

By the morning of the fourth day, Yu Zhou had already finished copying both scripts, because he only copied in one afternoon on the first day, and only half the morning on the fourth day, so it took less than three days to complete the book. .

Indeed, as Wu Zhangshi said before, the money earned from copying books is more than working in Luofengpo.

He didn't intend to delay, so he went out and said to Jin Chuan after copying, "I finished copying the book, and I plan to go to town this afternoon, do you have any embroidered things to bring to sell?"

"Yes, I have embroidered several times." Jin Chuan said and entered the side room.

When he came out after a while, there were a few more things in the basket. He took out all the things and handed them to Yu Zhou, saying, "This is an embroidered purse and two handkerchiefs. You can take them to the store where we bought embroidery thread." Shop, the purse should be around fifteen cash, and the handkerchief should be around ten cash.”

With the approximate price he gave, Yu Zhou was not worried about selling at a loss, but seeing that his basket seemed to have finished products, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

Jin Chuan looked up at him, pursed his lips, took out the bottom purse from the basket, handed it over and said, "This is for you."

The white purse was very delicately made, with only a single peach blossom embroidered on it, and the few flowers on the top were fully bloomed, so delicate and charming.The bottom two flowers are still budding.

Jinchuan's embroiderers are also good, so few people would not like such a purse.

But Yu Zhou didn't immediately reach out to pick it up. He had vaguely sensed Jin Chuan's attitude before, but he wasn't sure.

Now that people's purses are all handed to him, if he still doesn't understand why, then there is something wrong with his IQ.

He stared at Jin Chuan for a moment, then asked with a sigh: "Are you... sure?"
