Zhang snorted angrily, "If you can take advantage of the third room, why can't the old lady take advantage of it?" Hmph, going to school, new clothes, all the same! ”

Looking at the grandson in his arms, Zhang couldn't help but sigh, when will he grow up and go to school......

The little bean sprouts went happily, came back with a wilted head, and complained to Qiao Xiaoru a lot.

"The eldest aunt is too much, the sister-in-law in the lobby is scolded again, Brother Bao is so pitiful!"

Qiao Xiaoru can't control the affairs of the big house, although she sympathizes with the Li family, but the Li family is the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, no matter how ugly the Yang family says, what else can she do except listen to it?

"Don't be sad, you have to remember this time, don't be so babbling when you go to the big house to find Brother Bao in the future, you won't go quietly?" Qiao Xiaoru patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

Little bean sprouts suddenly realized and slapped his head: "I'm so stupid!" How stupid! ”

"It's okay," Qiao Xiaoru smiled again: "Ming'er brings him back directly after school, Ming'er will plant it again!" ”

"Okay, sister-in-law!" The little bean sprouts nodded, and then they became happy again.

After school the next day, Xiao Bean Sprouts really brought Brother Bao over, followed by Qiao Dingding and Qiao Yu.

Qiao Dingding was going home, Qiao Yu casually asked the little bean sprouts, they said that they were going to dig a pit and plant flowers, so they also came over, the little bean sprouts and Bao Ge'er were naturally happy, and Qiao Dingding had to accompany the sister.

Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun took a few children to dig pits and plant flowers all over the yard, mainly in front of the house and behind the house, as well as near the corners of the wall.

Girls like flowers, Qiao Yu asked in a chatter, listening to Qiao Xiaoru said how to look good when the flowers bloomed, she was excited, so she pulled Qiao Xiaoru's sleeve and coquettishly: "Sister-in-law, I will go home and plant some of you!" I don't want more, just one or two. ”

Qiao Yu is sweet and cute, and her temperament is particularly pleasing, no matter adults or children, there are very few people in the village who don't like her, that is, Aunt Chrysanthemum, and I wish Qiao Yu would play more with her family. It's a pity that Qiao Yu doesn't like to play with Da Zhuang at all, saying that he is so fat that he is not cute at all.

Qiao Xiaoru also likes this sweet and lovely little girl like jade snow, where can she stand up to her being so coquettish?

She smiled and didn't answer, Xiao Bean Sprouts and Huai Xuan had already promised to say yes, and the uncle and nephew hurriedly picked out what they thought was the best and handed it to Qiao Yu.

"This is good!"

"This is fine, here you go!"

"I picked it myself, and I picked it myself as my favorite!"

"Ayu, be careful, don't prick your hands."

Qiao Xiaoru looked funny, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Bean Sprouts and Bao Ge'er, how old these two little guys are, they know how pleasing the little girl.

The next day, Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun went to the county town to sell spicy cabbage and dried radish.

Although the shop is being renovated, it will have to be dried for at least ten days and a half to be ready for use, and at that time it is just for spring ploughing, and before that, she still has to go into the city to sell it for a few more days.

At that time, it was the busiest time of the year for using oxen, and it was difficult for her to borrow ox carts anymore.

It was sold out after several days, and it was sold out before noon, and both were very popular. Qiao Xiaoru told everyone where the shop was by the way, saying that it would be sold in the shop after a while.

After having lunch with Silly Fujun, the two went to find Hu Dibao.

For the sake of buying mountains and forests and wasteland.

Hu Dibao couldn't help but sigh when he heard that they were going to buy land again, and said with a smile: "Xiaoru is really getting more and more capable!" I didn't expect to buy land again! ”

Qiao Xiaoru replied with a smile in the most popular words of the moment: "Only when I buy a field can I feel at ease!" ”

Hu Dibao laughed and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, that's it." ”

As a land protector, he is naturally well-informed, knowing that most of Qiao Xiaoru's silver is earned by the proud building, I heard that the shopkeeper Lan personally welcomed her two children in and sent them out.

There is also a fat sister, and the sister is also very affectionate to her.

This time Qiao Xiaoru came to the door, Hu Dibao was much more polite and friendly to her than before, and heard Qiao Xiaoru say that she bought the land to plant a sapling called the tea seed tree, which is used to extract oil, so she suggested that she buy a barren mountain.

"Barren mountains are cheap, three taels of silver can buy an acre, the fire boundary is scraped, a fire can be cleaned up, plant trees, don't be so particular."

Qiao Xiaoru is as good as a stream, and said with a smile: "Then Uncle Hu introduced me to the details, the slope is not too steep, connected into a piece, there are fewer miscellaneous trees, and it is best to be closer to the side of the road." ”

In the future, if the tea seeds are brought home from the mountains, if they are too far away from the main road, the ox carts and donkey carts cannot enter, and it is a big cost to pick them by hand.

"It doesn't matter if it's far away from your Luqiao Village?" Hu Dibao asked with a smile.

Qiao Xiaoru said with a smile: "Naturally, it can't be too far, well, the distance within an hour!" ”

Hu Dibao said with a smile: "Cheng, I have written down all your requirements, I have to see it for myself and think about it carefully!" Come back in four or five days! ”

"Okay, I'll bother you with this!" Qiao Xiaoru nodded. Her request is actually a bit much, so naturally she has to give Hu Dibao time to find it.

When Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun said goodbye and left, Hu Dibao couldn't help but ask: "What do you want to plant, tea tree seed seedlings, that thing can really squeeze oil?" Can you eat pressed oil? ”

"Yes!" Qiao Xiaoru nodded and smiled: "I tried to squeeze some oil last year, and now I have been eating that oil at home, and I think it is better than soybean oil and peanut oil." This tea seed is also high in oil, higher than soybeans and peanuts! ”

Hu Dibao's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he smacked his lips and said, "Is it really that good?" If this is the case, it is good, the seeds on the tree can be squeezed for oil, and how much land can be saved to grow other grains, even soybeans and peanuts, I don't know how much! ”

People in this area usually eat soybean oil, and those with better families can occasionally eat some peanut oil.

You must know that in this era, both soybeans and peanuts are local traditional varieties, and the grains are completely different from the large-grained, high-yield varieties in modern society.

If soybean oil and peanut oil can be replaced with tea seed oil, soybeans and peanuts can be eaten as miscellaneous grains, or corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes can be planted instead, which is also very beneficial to solve the problem of food and clothing.

"What you said is exact," Qiao Xiaoru said with a smile: "I also accidentally found this tea tree in the mountain, and now I have planted some at home, next time I will send you a tree, you have been to many places, maybe you can find it anywhere!" By the way, I'll bring you two or three catties of tea seed oil to taste! ”

To say that tea seed oil is an excellent and excellent health oil in modern times, but it is inconvenient for Qiao Xiaoru to say these words at this time, and people may not believe them.

"Good, good! Bring some for us next time. Hu Dibao said with a smile.
