Chen Wanbai's eyes fell on the shelves selling seeds, and he thought that unlike others, he had reserved seeds, so he might as well buy some.
I have the radish, spinach, and rapeseed seeds I bought before, so there is no need to buy them again. The cold season is coming soon, and there are some vegetables that are not afraid of the cold, such as lettuce, celery, leeks, coriander, potatoes, etc.
Even if I don’t know what it is in this era, I can only buy what I have.
Furthermore, after the beginning of spring, rice should be planted, and some wheat, corn, soybeans, sorghum, potatoes and sweet potatoes can also be planted.
It is freezing cold in winter, and once it snows, it will be extremely inconvenient to go out. It’s really not easy to visit the county town, so it’s better to just buy what you can and go back together.
Although Chen Wanbai has been farming all year round, he was a little dazed when he looked at the pile of seeds in front of him.
Because they look similar to the seeds in my impression, but they seem to be somewhat different. If you're not sure, just ask the guy.
Chen Wanbai turned around and saw that Mao Dan was almost done loading the things, so he waited a moment. After he finished pretending, he asked: "Brother, what kind of seeds are there?"
"Brother, what else do you want?" Maodan was far away and could not hear Chen Wanbai clearly. words. He didn't care if the other person was older or younger than him, he just called him "younger brother" when he stepped forward.
"I plan to buy some vegetable seeds and grain seeds that can be planted in spring at this time. What do you have here?" Chen Wanbai replied.
Maodan smiled, pointed to a few bags on the side and said: "Brother, here are lettuce and celery seeds, which are relatively cold-resistant and suitable for planting in winter. As for spring grain seeds, wheat, We have all kinds of seeds here, which guarantee a high germination rate."
Chen Wanbai nodded and asked, "What are the prices of these seeds?"
p>
Mao Dan immediately smiled and replied: "These vegetable varieties are all about the same, forty cents per liter."
He pointed to another pile of bags and continued: "As for the grain seeds, Both wheat and corn are sold by the penny. Nowadays, wheat seeds cost 85 cents per dou, and wheat seeds cost one tael per dou. Barley? Isn’t barley only thirty cents a pound? How come this wheat sells for more than eighty yuan a pound?
"Brother, may I ask who Fanmai is?"
Mao Dan is accustomed to it. After all, this is a precious item. It is normal for most people not to recognize it.
He pointed at the pile of seeds and said: "That's it. This is a rare thing that only rich families can afford. If you have a lot of land at home, you might as well buy some back. If you can plant it, , If you take it to a big market or go to a big house to sell it, it will definitely sell for a high price." 2
Chen Wanbai looked in the direction of his fingers and felt that they looked familiar, so he reached out and grabbed a few pills. It looks a bit like corn seeds, shaped like a fallen toothThe teeth are almost the same.
Seeing her thinking, Mao Dan thought she was too expensive, so he added: "Brother, our seeds are all good and have a high germination rate. You won't lose money if you buy them back."
Chen Wanbai thought in his mind that if this is really corn, it must be a good thing. Corn is actually quite useful. It can be eaten as a staple food, and can be ground into powder to thicken soup or make some pastries, which are both good choices. It can even be used as a sizing agent and reinforcing agent for papermaking, or for making adhesives.
"Okay, let's get one liter of these vegetables and half a bucket of wheat and barley."
Mao Dan responded and went to the counter to get a cloth bag. Just start weighing. Still muttering: "I don't know what's going on over there."
Chen Wanbai took the opportunity to answer: "What's so exciting that makes you miss it so much?"
Hearing Chen Wanbai's question, Mao Dankai suddenly became interested. It would be too uncomfortable to have gossip that cannot be shared.
"It was very lively. If I hadn't been worried that the shopkeeper would be unhappy, I would have finished watching it before coming back."
"It must be very exciting. Let me tell you about it."
Mao Dan waved his hand and said quickly: "There is a big family in our county, the Wu family. Today, while his wife was not at home, he invited his friends to visit his home. These young masters don't usually I just like to eat, drink and have fun, so I won’t take the Madam 3 from Zuixiang Tower back to play with me.”

Chen Wanbai saw Mao Dan’s look on his face and said, “What next?”
Mao Dan immediately became happy, he loved watching it Isn’t the excitement just for telling others and seeing the wonderful things on other people’s faces?
He bared his yellowed teeth and said: "This kind of thing is normal for this man. But the bad thing is that Mr. Wu's wife is back."
"Oh? What happened to Mr. Wu's wife?" Chen Wanbai asked.
"Brother, you are not from this county, are you?" Mao Dan looked her up and down.
Chen Wanbai shook his head: "I'm not, I'm from the village below. I'm far away and rarely come here."
Mao Dan nodded: "It's no wonder. I have to say This Mrs. Wu is a well-known dominatrix in our county. The fight started right at the door of the house."
"Why did you start the fight at the door of the house? "
"That's a good question!" Mao Dan slapped his hands and put down what he was doing without even bothering to pack things for Chen Wanbai. "It's a coincidence that Mrs. Wu was returning to her parents' home. On the way, I remembered that I had forgotten something, so I went back to get it. I saw Mr. Wu and a girl lying naked on a chair in the garden. They were so happy."
Mao Dan hehe. , his eyebrows flew up: "And not only that, the other young masters are also working with the bustards.Go to the clouds and rain. "
"Then what? Then Mrs. Wu ran away? "Chen Wanbai agreed.
"Come on, little brother, eat some melon seeds. " Mao Dan grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the dry goods and handed them to Chen Wanbai.
"When the shopkeeper comes back, he will deduct your wages again. "Chen Wanbai didn't answer.
"Don't be afraid, that's my uncle. My mother will make trouble with him if he deducts my wages. " Mao Dan looked unconcerned.
Only then did Chen Wanbai understand why Mao Dan dared to eat melon outside while working. We are a family. It is estimated that the one named Shunzi is also a family.
She took the melon seeds and ate them while listening to Mao Dan’s gossip. She really loved listening to it. The last time she ate melons was at the funeral of the old lady Zhang. How could the madam run away? She is a dominatrix. He went up and beat Mr. Wu and the woman. "
"What? Isn't that woman a bustard? I heard you call me a different name, brother. "
Mao Dan was even more excited now. It seemed that Chen Wanbai was listening to his gossip attentively, much better than the woman who stood next to him before.
"Yes, yes, yes, It's because that woman is not a bustard. "
"That's...? "
"That woman is the concubine of Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang said that he would give it to Mr. Wu as a gift for his visit. "
"This... can I still give away my own concubine? "Chen Wanbai couldn't understand. Aren't men most afraid of being cuckolded?
"I'm just a concubine, just a plaything, what can't I do? Those young masters and young masters often change their games. Mao Dan looked used to it, "Brother, are you from the countryside?" I see you don't understand this at all. "
Chen Wanbai nodded. This was indeed the first time she had heard of it, both in her life. However, she had also heard of "concubine is a lowly person" and "concubine is bought and sold", and I think they have similar meanings.
After all, in ancient society, men were superior to women, and concubines had a low status and were regarded as men's private property. They had no independent personality and rights, and their fate was often in the hands of the male master.
