As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!

"Please show us."

The old man took out a small bag of seeds from his arms. Chen Yan took it, opened it, and nodded to Cui Yunzhu: "The seeds are of good quality and will grow easily."

"Old man, is this the only bag you have?"

Cui Yunzhu looked at the small bag of seeds in her hand with some disappointment. If there was only this much, it would really be a waste of her time.

"Don't worry, this bag contains rice seeds." The old man stroked his frizzy beard proudly.

"My rice seeds come from the Liao Kingdom. Although the fertility of the Liao Kingdom is low, the rice seeds are excellent. They are somewhat different from ours. The rice in the south of Daxia is almost all long, and the color of the rice is white with a hint of yellow."

"But the rice of Liao is interesting. It is plump, with short and round grains and white color. It is called round-grain rice. It tastes sweet, very soft and chewy, and does not stick to your teeth."

Isn’t this the pearl rice of modern northern China? Cui Yunzhu also often eats it in modern times.

Although it was not as exaggerated as the old man said, it did take some skill for him to get the pearl rice seeds.

"The sweet potatoes are local, but the yield is much higher than the seeds you bought from the grain store."

The old man took out another small bag and put it in Cui Yunzhu's hand.

She weighed it and found that there was only a little bit. The old man was indeed cautious. However, she didn't care because her purpose was not these seeds.

The crops grown from the rare seeds in the old man's hands were not rare things to her. What she really wanted was a way to preserve the seeds.

With this, fruits and vegetables in the space can be grown in the black soil.

"Don't think it's too little. It's enough for you and your wife to grow crops." The old man said as he took out the third cloth bag.

"What's in here?" she asked calmly.

"Corn, what do you think? You haven't heard of it, right?" The old man said proudly. He acted like this because he saw that the couple was so kind.

Cui Yunzhu was stunned for two seconds, and replied with a smile: "No."

When Chen Yan heard these two dry words, he knew that his wife was coaxing the old man, and he also put on a curious look.

However, from this he roughly understood that the old man's family should be from the north. People in the south also know about corn, but they just don't have money to eat it.

Indeed, in Cui Yunzhu's memory, very few people in the southern part of Daxia Kingdom could grow corn.

The seeds at that time were not as easy to grow as those today, and had very strict requirements on soil and climate.

Therefore, corn is usually shipped from the north and sold at a high price, which is not affordable for ordinary people.

Most of the crops in the southern part of Daxia Kingdom were rice, unlike modern times, when many people in the south also grow corn.

She reached for the bag of corn seeds and put it away with a smile.

The old man smiled with satisfaction: "This fourth bag contains taro."

Taro, Cui Yunzhu was a little surprised.

Taro is not a rare thing in modern times, but it is definitely not available in the Great Xia Kingdom. Where did this old man get it?

I don’t know if there are any vegetables in the vegetable section of the space. If not, there’s nothing to worry about. They are delivered to my door now.

Then the old man took out the fifth bag. He thought for a moment and said frankly, "I don't know what's in this fifth bag. My parents brought it in from foreign lands when they were running a grain store."

"They have tried to grow it, but it tastes so weird that many people don't like it. But we did spend a lot of money to buy it, so we have kept it. This is a gift for you."

"We still don't know its function, but do you know what it looks like?" Cui Yunzhu was a little curious.

"What does it look like?" The old man shook his head. "I've grown it before, and it looks a bit like green vegetables, but the taste is completely different. You'll know when you go back and grow some."

"This is the last bag."

The old man looked at the crowd at the entrance of the alley, looking a little embarrassed.

They had just walked to the entrance of a deserted alley to make the transaction, and now the old man was still worried. She asked Chen Yan for his opinion, and after he said it was okay, the three of them continued to walk into the alley.

Finally, the noisy sounds were isolated by the deep old alley.

The old man then took out the last cloth bag mysteriously and said, "The last one is the seeds of a kind of fruit. My father said it was called grape. I ate it a few times when I was a child, but not long after, my family changed drastically and I never tasted it again."

His face was covered with wrinkles, showing his old age, but at this moment he showed a nostalgia that was inconsistent with his age, and there were tears in his eyes.

"These grapes are sweet and sour, and they grow in bunches on the vine. There are many grapes on each bunch. You will definitely not lose out if you buy them."

Cui Yunzhu wanted to comfort her but didn't know how to start. She was afraid that her words would not express her feelings clearly and would have the opposite effect, so she just silently handed over a clean handkerchief.

There are indeed grapes in my space, but it will be easier to explain their origin if I take out the seeds later.

She carefully recalled the ancient history she had read in modern times. It seemed that in the ancient times of modern time and space, the fruit grapes were introduced into the country during the Han Dynasty.

So it seems that the Great Xia Kingdom was not as developed as the Han Dynasty at that time.

After the old man recovered, he felt embarrassed for his loss of composure. He was dressed in rags like a beggar, and it was already great that the couple was willing to listen to his introduction of the seeds.

And here he is, an old man, crying bitterly as he recalls the past.

"You and I are destined to be together. I won't charge you much for these seeds. I'll just give you--"

Before he finished speaking, Cui Mingzhu quickly said what she really wanted: "Old man, in addition to seeds, I want to buy another thing from you."

"Another thing?"

The old man was a little confused. He had nothing, and all he had were some seeds left at home and methods of preserving them.

method?

He suddenly became alert, raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him, trying to see if there was anyone else behind her.

Cui Yunzhu looked him straight in the eye without any hesitation, and said to him frankly, "I don't want to steal your ancestral method, I just want to learn some basic methods of preserving seeds."

"This world is difficult, and it's not easy for us farmers either. It's rare to come across a method like yours, so I want to learn from you."

“It’s up to you to teach or not to teach.”

This step forward and backward was intended to dispel his doubts and to show her sincerity: "If you are willing to teach me, then the money will be just tuition."

This girl is quite clever. She said before that she was buying, but now she says she is learning. She said buying the formula became learning the formula, and the money for buying the house became tuition.

The old man has actually accepted it about 70% in his heart.

"Okay, I won't ask for too much. I'll give you all the seeds and teach you some basic methods of preserving them. I'll only charge you three taels of silver."
