The cannon fodder daughter was exiled, she has a system to earn gold
Chapter 177 Qin Dafu's Hobby
When County Magistrate Fang learned that he really had a problem, he didn't want to believe it at first, but it took him a while to digest the news.
Now that I have received Qin Zhongyue's affirmation, I don't have to think about it anymore and just do what Qin Zhongyue asks.
He really had something to do, so he just said goodbye and left.
Qin Zhongyue chatted with Que for a while, and then thought of Hou Dansheng, so he mentioned him in front of Que.
"Are you talking about the imperial merchant Hou Dansheng?"
"Well, is there another person also called Hou Dansheng?"
Qin Zhongyue felt that there shouldn't be two famous Hou Danshengs.
“That’s not the case.
How did you two meet?
Does he want to do beauty water business with you?"
Que peeled two melon seeds, but thought it was too much trouble and didn't eat them. Usually, the melon seeds were peeled by her maid.
"My second brother caught his eye and was brought by him to cultivate his connections..."
Qin Zhongyue briefly explained how they met.
“He wanted to buy beauty water but said he couldn’t find it. He happened to see it at my house, so I gave him two bottles.
You should give him a break, otherwise we will lose a lot of money."
Que originally thought that Qin Zhongyue mentioned this person specifically because he wanted to use her connections.
Finally, this turned out to be the reason.
"Hahaha... I get it. Next time he comes, I will definitely sell him two bottles."
Qin Zhongyue didn't know what was so funny about her, so she packed up and left.
"You're leaving so early today. Why don't you have lunch here before leaving?"
Que really wanted to chat with Qin Zhongyue for a while, because chatting with her was just pure chatting. She could say whatever she thought of and whatever she wanted to say. It was very relaxing.
"No, you will eat medicinal food starting today.
I want to go home and eat braised pork."
Qin Zhongyue already had the empty backpack on his back.
"Ok."
Que watched Qin Zhongyue leave the second courtyard.
Qin Zhongyue went to a seed shop and bought some seeds, but they were some common seeds. He went home and took out the seeds in his own space to exchange them.
The seeds here are definitely not comparable to her seeds.
However, she discovered that the seeds here were more resistant to pests than the seeds in her space.
Although that slight difference is almost negligible, the data comparison detected by the system is indeed stronger.
The advantages must naturally be preserved.
She now has a system that allows her to always produce high-yield seeds, but she has always felt that the system may not always be useful.
If something special happened and he disappeared one day, or the system was upgraded to the maximum level, he might leave her.
But she was sure that the system would not leave her within ten years.
So within ten years, she relied on the system to make as many preparations as possible.
When I was connecting with Niu Su today, I asked for the various planting encyclopedias of those great predecessors.
She probably can't go back to her original world. If she encounters drought or flood, she and her family may not survive.
That’s right, after more than half a year of getting along, she has already regarded the Qin family as her own relatives.
She likes this kind of family very much, so she doesn't want to separate.
Then we have to consider how our family members will live after they have served their sentences.
I had only thought about the best possible outcome, but I couldn't rule out the worst possible outcome.
And given their family’s situation, they will most likely face the worst outcome once they get out.
Because their family does not have a strong background or backing.
After the peasants were released from exile, their lives became better. They were obvious targets, and even if they had some good connections here, they might not be useful after they were released.
It is still unknown whether the fourth brother can continue his scientific research.
So she decided to do something in advance so that she would have a chance and bargaining chip to get shelter from someone who could shelter their family.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Lunch was ready and Qin Dafu sent the food to the next door. Doctor Yu then tactfully asked Qin Zhongyue if she could come over to see Xiao Jingyi.
He saw his sister getting some soil for flower pots as soon as she came back, and he didn't know what she was doing.
Qin Zhongyue said what he was going to do without reservation.
“Cultivate high-yield, insect-resistant, drought-resistant and flood-resistant seeds…”
“Is it really possible?
Can you still live like this?"
Qin Dafu thought it was really magical and was very interested.
The brother and sister were so engrossed in their research that they naturally forgot about what was happening next door. Even if they hadn't forgotten, Qin Zhongyue would not have gone there.
After Xiao Jingyi woke up in the morning, he was waiting for Qin Zhongyue's arrival.
Wait for her to give me medicine, and then I will be able to get out of bed that day.
When he didn't come for dinner, he understood that Qin Zhongyue had to go to town every day, so he would come when she came back.
By lunch time, she still hadn't come.
Maybe he was too tired and wanted to wait until after dinner.
However, when it was time for dinner, no one had arrived, so Qin Dafu had to deliver the meal.
He wondered if Qin Zhongyue didn't want anyone to know, so he came back at night after dark.
It was late at night and the person he was waiting for didn't come. He had no more excuses; that person just didn't want to come.
Doctor Yu was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night when he was woken up. He came over to get the chamber pot from under the bed and was about to serve Xiao Jingyi.
Xiao Jingyi's face immediately turned black.
Doctor Yu waited for a long time and saw that the old man did not move. He looked at him in confusion, only to find that he seemed to have misunderstood.
"Master?"
What do you want to do? Tell me.
"That's what she said yesterday."
Xiao Jingyi did not make things difficult for Doctor Yu by asking him to guess, but explained directly.
Doctor Yu was now completely awake.
*
Qin Zhongyue discovered his elder brother's true hobby. His elder brother really liked to study seeds, so he took him to study every day and explained things to him carefully.
Qin Dafu was literate, so it was not difficult for him to learn. As long as he liked it, he would soon see results.
The research lasted for two months and winter was already approaching.
Qin Dafu looked at his achievements and felt happier than picking up silver.
"It's just a pity that the weather is so cold that we have to wait until spring to conduct the experiment."
“We can plant even when it’s cold.”
Qin Zhongyue really couldn't bear to see his elder brother looking so frustrated and anxious.
It's rare to see my brother like something so much.
She has the memories of her original body. The eldest brother is the eldest in the family. He has been sensible since childhood and always gives in to his younger siblings. Later, when the other three brothers were able to go to school, the family could not afford it, so he stopped studying. At the age of fourteen, he found a job as a bodyguard and often came back with injuries.
The original Qin Zhongyue also remembered all these.
One winter, the eldest brother came back covered in wounds, with his younger sisters and brothers’ favorite roast duck in his arms, still warm.
After coming here, my brother works hard all day long and grabs jobs.
Seeing that the fourth and second brothers had found their own careers, the eldest brother looked at them with envy every time they came back. Especially after the third brother also found his own job, she often saw that the eldest brother felt even more depressed.
She always knew that her eldest brother wanted to do something of his own, but he didn't know what.
It's possible that big brother likes to study seeds with her just because he's looking for something to do, but no matter what, in the past two months, she has been studying with big brother every day, and she can feel that big brother really likes it.
The improvement of seeds relies on cheating in the system, but why not use this cheating device!
If you don't use it, you won't use it.
The system also said that even if the seeds developed using this cheating device were to be developed, as long as they lasted for two or three generations in this era, they could basically be determined.
Qin Zhongyue didn't want to see his elder brother's lost look, so he blurted out.
"It's getting colder now. If we freeze to death, all our previous efforts will be in vain."
Qin Dafu was anxious, but he was even more unwilling to see the seeds he had worked so hard to research ruined because of his impatience.
"If we are afraid of freezing to death, then why don't we just find a place where we won't freeze to death?"
Qin Zhongyue really wanted to take out the glass right now, but she couldn't.
Who can understand the pain of having a treasure mountain but not being able to use it?
"There is no place like that."
Qin Dafu didn't want to discourage his sister, but if there really was such a place, it probably wouldn't be their turn to go there.
“No, we’ll just make our own.”
“Make it yourself?
How to make it?
Qin Dafu's eyes lit up when he heard what his sister said.
The temperature in the mountains is quite warm during the day, at least around 10 degrees Celsius now. During the hottest time at noon, it can sometimes reach around 20 degrees Celsius.
"It's only cold at night now. We just need to make sure the seedlings in the field don't freeze to death at night."
“What my sister said makes sense, but how can we ensure that the seedlings in the field don’t freeze to death at night?
Straw?"
Covering the ground with straw is the only way Qin Dafu knows to keep the ground warm.
Farmers do the same thing.
"Brother, let me tell you something simpler, but it will cost a little money."
"Fee silver?
Where do we get the silver?
Your money cannot be used. You are getting married soon. As your elder brother, I cannot give you any dowry, so how can I use your money? "
……
The family saw that the two siblings had started again and no one disturbed them. Qin Renshan continued to weave bamboo products.
He doesn't have much to do now, and since he has nothing to do, he uses his expertise to make some bamboo baskets, bamboo crates, bamboo chairs and other small items. He can then sell them in town and earn a few taels of silver a month, which is already pretty good, so he makes them whenever he has time.
Jiang was making clothes, shoes and socks for the family to wear during the winter. Next to her was Su Luoqing embroidering a wedding dress for Qin Zhongyue. The clothes were already finished, and now she was making the shoes. She was going to make the whole set so that she could try them on. If they didn't fit, she would make further adjustments.
Zheng also came to Qin's house every day to do needlework with Jiang and her mother-in-law, and chat with them.
Zheng was not a gossipy woman and never asked what Qin Zhongyue and Qin Dafu were doing. Jiang had a very good relationship with her.
"Luo Qing's embroidery skills are really good. These shoes are so beautiful."
"Yes, whatever my Luo Qing embroiders is the best I've ever seen."
When Jiang heard someone praising her child, she was happier than when someone praised her.
"No, both mother and auntie are very flattering."
Su Luoqing was praised every now and then, and he always felt a little embarrassed when he was praised.
"Sister, I brought you some bugs."
Sui Han arrived at the Qin family's door and saw that everyone in the yard was busy, so he spoke politely first.
"Okay, come here."
Qin Zhongyue came over and took the broken bowl that Sui Han put in it, which was a large bowl of various insects, and stuffed him with a handful of crushed rock sugar.
"Good boy, go home now."
Before Sui Han could say no, Qin Zhongyue ordered him to go home.
Sui Han is not an ignorant three-year-old kid after all. He knows that his sister did it on purpose, and he will remember his sister's great kindness.
Qin Zhongyue took a bowl of insects and poured them into the chicken coop. The pheasants flew over to grab the food. There was nothing they could do but grab it. There were so many insects, but they disappeared in a moment. I don't know which chicken ate them so quickly.
Because the system grabs insects quickly, the pheasants have also developed the habit of grabbing insects quickly.
The system looked at the pheasants with disdain. If it didn't despise dead insects now, they wouldn't even have the dead ones to eat.
Qin Dafu stretched his head to take a look and said, "You eat so fast."
"Well, big brother, don't worry about the chickens eating the worms. Come here and calculate how much tarpaulin is needed for the three-acre and five-acre plots, and leave some extra."
"I'm coming."
Zheng, who was listening in on the conversation, couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Do you want to cover the fields with oilcloth?
How much is that? "
"Then who knows."
Jiang really didn't know, and she didn't intend to tell anyone that her daughter's beauty water was selling well.
The number of people who know that they are selling beauty water now can be counted on one hand.
Zheng knew it, but she didn't know how much a jar sold for. She just said it casually and didn't mean to get to the bottom of it.
Seeing that it was time to prepare dinner, Zheng packed up and went home.
Everyone in the Qin family is busy with their own things, so they just cook something casually for dinner.
There has been no one at the Xiao family next door recently. It was said that something happened at the mountain guarding area, so Xiao Jingyi wanted to go and take a look. He is a small leader of the mountain guarding team.
Doctor Yu would be away for several days visiting a seriously ill patient, so the Qin family had less to worry about when cooking during this time.
That day, Qin Zhongyue came out of the back yamen and went straight to the shop selling oilcloth. When he asked the price, he was surprised to find that it was more than twice the price of ordinary cotton cloth.
"Girl, you don't know that tung oil is expensive to begin with, and making oilcloth is very tedious, and all the money is hard-earned."
The shopkeeper explained to Qin Zhongyue with a smile.
"Actually, what I sell here is quite cheap. If you don't believe me, you can go to a few more stores and compare."
"Okay, I'll go take a look. If yours is the cheapest, I'll definitely buy from you."
Qin Zhongyue smiled and nodded and left the shop.
The shopkeeper was very confident that Qin Zhongyue would come back. He had been doing business in Lingzhu for many years and he knew the market conditions of other families.
As a result, until the afternoon, the girl still didn't come back.
He was getting a little impatient and had to go out and find out from whom the seller bought it and which store sold it cheaper than his!
After Qin Zhongyue asked about the price, she didn't even think about buying so much oilcloth directly. It was really too expensive, and those oilcloths were not very good.
She went to buy some tung oil and prepared to make her own oilcloth.
However, not much tung oil was bought, just for show. Niu Su sent over a lot, two large jars, which was more than enough to make oilcloth.
The main materials of oilcloth are cotton cloth and tung oil. Oilcloth is made by brushing tung oil on dense cotton cloth and letting it dry.
The cotton cloth was also given by Niu Su. In order to make better oilcloth, the cotton cloth had to be beaten before being brushed with tung oil. This would make the cotton cloth fibers softer and easier to absorb tung oil.
