Chapter 137: Buying Food in a Hurry

Seeing that they were all looking at her, Tong Wenyao began to talk about her trip to Cangzhou.

"I'm going to Cangzhou to find Kong Ming this time. After the New Year, I'll come back to teach Wen Jiang and the others. I can also talk to the village chief about opening a village school. That would be better."

Tong Hong nodded after hearing this and said, "Your village school is good, so the children in the village can also learn to read.

Qian's mother said, "The county magistrate will be here the day after tomorrow, so why not take this opportunity to invite the villagers to dinner? We didn't have time to invite them before when we were building the house, but we can do it this time."

After hearing this, Cui's mother also agreed. She had a somewhat impulsive personality. "In that case, I'll take Lan Cui to the market tomorrow to buy vegetables, fish, and chicken. Oh, Yao'er, can you buy two more lambs for that lamb you bought last time? We can roast a whole lamb tonight, and have hot pot for lunch."

Tong Wenyao remembered that they had bought the sheep from Changzhen Village last time. She thought that she would ask Dongzi to go get Wen Ziyu tomorrow, so she could bring back three sheep. "Second Aunt, as for the sheep, I'll ask Dongzi to buy them. Are three sheep enough? Do you want to add one more? We can have mutton hotpot for the county magistrate at noon. He might have to go back home tonight, so he might not be able to have the roasted whole sheep."

When Cui's mother heard this, she said, "Then we'll order four sheep. We'll roast three tonight and have one for hot pot at noon."

Tong Wenyao took Mother Qian's pulse to see how it was. Mother Cui saw it and said, "I've also found a wet nurse. I'm afraid the baby will give birth around the Lantern Festival. I've asked someone to go to the city to find a midwife. After the New Year, she will come to live with us until the baby is born."

"Second Aunt is so thoughtful and considerate." Cui's mother pretended to be angry and said, "She is my sister-in-law, how can I not pay attention to her?"

I also drafted a menu. As for rice, I chose to mix corn with white rice. This is also a good choice, and the quantity is large and filling.

After the discussion, Tong Wenyao continued, "This time when I went to Cangzhou, I encountered two kinds of food. If they are grown well, they can satisfy your hunger and have high yields."

She took out three pounds of corn and two pounds of potatoes and continued, "These two are high-yielding plants. I've made an agreement with the dock worker. After the New Year, he'll ship a large batch over to me. We can plant them then. We can also discuss with the county magistrate about distributing them to the people so they can plant them and we can buy them later."

You can put the corn in the pot and boil it tomorrow, and then you can eat it directly for breakfast.

What she took out was still planted in the space, so the quantity was not much, but the amount of potatoes in her space was only more than 100 kilograms, and as for corn, she estimated that there were more than 300 kilograms. The yield of corn was okay. When the time comes, she can buy land to plant a lot of it. Corn will mature in about 80 to 150 days.

As for wheat, she still has about 100 kilograms in her space, but she doesn't know if it can be planted as wheat seeds. It seems that she will go to the space to experiment tonight. You know, modern wheat has been improved, and one acre of land can yield at least 500 kilograms. Sometimes when the weather is good and there is enough rain, the yield can reach more than 700 kilograms per acre.

When Mother Qian saw the corn that Tong Wen Yao took out, she couldn't help but say, "I've eaten this in the palace before, but the rice grains on it weren't as densely packed as this." What surprised Tong Wen Yao was that there was this in the palace. She wanted to know more about the corn of this dynasty.

"Mother, what was this called in the palace?" Mother Qian thought for a moment and shook her head. "I can't remember. Ask Mother Cui." She looked at Second Aunt, who frowned thoughtfully. "I think it was called golden rice. But the corn was sparse back then, not as good as this one you brought out."

Tong Wen Yao thought that the fruit might not have been hybridized yet, and the one she took out was a variety that had been hybridized many times, so the fruits were plump.

After discussing the matter again, it was already very late outside. Even Xin'er couldn't bear the drooping eyelids and went back to her room early to sleep.

When Tong Wen Yao returned to the room, Xing'er had already put the hot water bottle in the quilt to warm it up. Tong Wen Yao went into the bathroom to wash up, and looking at the white squat toilet, she couldn't help but chuckle.

Tong Wenyao also urged Xing'er to go back to her room and sleep. After seeing Xing'er close the door, Tong Wenyao slipped into the space and took a hoe to clean a small piece of land in the backyard, then sowed the wheat. By now, she was exhausted. After a quick shower, she left the space.

At this time, the hot water bottles in the quilt had become cold. Tong Wen Yao took them out and then covered herself with the quilt to sleep.

The next morning, Xing'er brought her hot water for washing. Guo'er stood behind Xin'er. Tong Wenyao pinched Guo'er's face and said, "I forgot to give you scar removal cream. Here, apply it every morning and night, and your scars will be gone soon."

Guo'er reached out to take the white ceramic and said politely, "Thank you, Sister Yao'er." Tong Wenyao touched her soft hair and said, "Go play with Xin'er. I'll be busy later."

"Xing'er, go call Dongzi over. I have something to tell him." Xing'er brought the steamed corn over. Tong Wenyao saw there were two on the steamer and said, "Xing'er, you take one and eat it. One is enough for me."

"Okay, miss." Tong Wen Yao took out a corn from the steamer and started to chew it. Her newly grown teeth were just right for biting. Then she read the medical book she got from Yan Zhi.

When she came back, her master asked her to stay at his place for two days on the third day of the Chinese New Year, saying that his senior brother would come and there might be a gift for her. At first, Tong Wen Yao was dismissive until Yan Zhi said that the gift was a needle made of meteorites, which made Tong Wen Yao feel a little moved.

You have to know that she didn't have such high-end needles in her previous life. Although her gold needles were not bad, if you haven't seen them, you will think that this meteorite needle is much better than hers. After eating the corn, Dongzi also came to the front hall.

"Boss, are you looking for me?" She looked up at Dongzi. Yes, he had changed into new winter clothes, which were obviously very thick clothes.

"Not bad, the clothes you are wearing are very nice." Dongzi scratched his head and said, "Hey, Xiaohua gave me two sets to wear."

Tong Wenyao asked him to sit down. Dongzi was a little reserved and said awkwardly, "Boss, forget it. I'm afraid it will get dirty."

Tong Wenyao pulled him down and said, "You're being so timid! What's wrong with you? I asked you to go to Changzhen Village. Ask Uncle Fu to buy eight sheep. Four are for the ceramic workshop, and the other four are for you. The county magistrate is coming tomorrow, so we have to entertain him well."

When Dongzi heard this, he immediately said, "Boss, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"

Seeing Dongzi about to leave, Tong Wenyao hurriedly said, "By the way, call Wen Ziyu over and tell him that our village wants him to help hunt wild boars."
