2 Chapter 2
◎She came to this world with food!◎
"My dear, what can you do with this little grain?" She was the head of a large farm, managing both planting and harvesting. She had taken the two small bags of grain from her own home. Corn seeds were more expensive, bean seeds were cheaper, and mixing them together made her appear generous.
"eat".
Jiang choked at the word "eat." Her family could be considered farmers, and they always selected the best seeds to save for next year's planting. Who would be willing to eat them? Madam Cheng was beautiful and generous, even choosing the best food to save for seed. She must be from a prominent family. If she took good care of her, she might have a great fortune someday.
During these two days, Cheng Mu stayed indoors and all her meals were delivered by Jiang.
After many experiments, she has basically mastered the operation of the space experimental field. She can transfer seeds into space with her mind and then sow them.
You can set up a variety of land and climate modes yourself. How the sown seeds grow in various environments is probably the topic of this space laboratory.
The best part was that it only took one day from sowing to harvesting, which was much more efficient than the years and months she had to use when doing experiments at school.
With this space experimental field, she can continuously improve the crops in this world, and even soon surpass the level of modern agricultural research.
The existence of the space experimental field made her blood boil. This was simply the dream field of her student days!
It’s worth wearing this treasure to get it.
A small bag of millet seeds, which is the amount that can be held up with two hands, is about 1 jin, less than 1 dou, and 1 dou is 1.5 jin. In order to ensure the survival rate of the seeds, she did not sow them directly, but germinated them, raised seedlings first, and then transplanted them. She conducted two rounds of experiments, setting the soil and climate environment in the Yanbei area. In the first round, she harvested 30 jin. In the second round, she used 10 jin of seeds for sowing. Why didn't she use all 30 jin for sowing? Because this experimental field was only one mu and three fen, and could not grow so much. In the second round, she harvested 160 jin of millet.
In two days, she turned 1 kilogram of seeds into 180 kilograms of rice.
She had previously planned to spend three months to find a way to gain a foothold in this dynasty. Now, in less than two days, she has grown 180 kilograms of rice. This kilogram is the weight after drying in the space. If it is made into refined grain, according to the technology of this dynasty, 20% must be subtracted, which means 140 kilograms of rice.
In the past two days, she also asked Jiang a lot of things. One tael of silver can buy one stone of rice, which is 120 kilograms. Roughly speaking, she can earn one tael of silver a day.
Not to mention making a lot of money, these alone are enough to make her worry-free about food and clothing.
She came to this world with food!
Jiang found that Madam Cheng looked radiant these past two days.
She was completely different from when they first met. She had looked languid and travel-weary at first, but after these days of recuperation, her complexion had become radiant, her manners elegant, her voice soft, and she had an air of refinement, like someone who had stepped out of a painting. Jiang had even tried to read large characters, which she could recognize. She had said she wanted to draw a flower, and with just a few strokes, Madam Cheng had created a lifelike image. Young ladies from ordinary families rarely knew how to read, let alone paint. Jiang's suspicion grew that Madam Cheng was someone of note.
In the evening, Jiang's husband suddenly came back and said that the grain seeds in the farm were destroyed by rats. The owner of the farm happened to be there and discovered it first. The owner scolded him, and he came back to find Jiang for a solution.
Jiang started to scold him again.
Her husband's name was Chen Da. He was in charge of a farm forty miles outside Puyang City for the wealthy Yang family. The farm had twenty acres of paddy fields and thirty acres of dry land. He was in charge of planting and harvesting, and of several farmhands.
On the one hand, he needs to spend his own money to make up for the loss, and on the other hand, he mainly needs to come back to visit his wife and go to the Yang family.
While Jiang was talking to her husband in the house, a young man came to the gate of the courtyard.
That person was Zhou Mao.
Three days ago, Cheng Jiuniang went out to see him. It was the first time they met after three years.
Zhou Mao had had such feelings for Cheng Jiuniang since he was young. He was very attentive every time they met, praised her everywhere, gave her a token of love, and agreed to propose to her after he passed the imperial examination.
While Cheng Jiuniang enjoyed Zhou Mao's pursuit, she also despised his family background. There were only one or two moments when she thought about marrying him, and in one of those moments she accepted the token of love.
Later, Zhou Mao encountered some problems and failed to enter the examination room as scheduled. Cheng Jiuniang was so angry that she returned the token of love and rejected him very clearly. When he came to her without giving up, she humiliated him again. Since then, Zhou Mao never appeared in front of her again.
Three years passed, Zhou Mao got married, and finally passed the imperial examination. His father-in-law had some power, and with some effort, he got him a lucrative job in Ping County, Yunzhou. Now he has a bright future.
Cheng Jiuniang contacted him half a year ago. After exchanging a few letters, she was sure that Zhou Mao had not changed his mind about her, so she escaped regardless of everything.
When they met that day, Zhou Mao was indeed still infatuated with her. He held Cheng Jiuniang's hand and said a lot of sweet words to her. Zhou Mao was good-looking, talented, considerate and eloquent. Cheng Jiuniang saw that he had shed his youthful vigor and was full of vigor, and had become a true playboy. She was very much attracted to him and asked him to come over in the evening three days later.
Cheng Xi has been concentrating on the space experiment field these past two days and has completely forgotten about this matter.
Cheng Mu would not make the same choice as her original self, who thought that she could persuade Zhou Mao to divorce his wife based on their youthful friendship. Even if Zhou Mao was eloquent, Cheng Mu would not believe his sincerity. After being bullied by Cheng Jiuniang, how much sincerity did he still have now that he had a bright future?
My feelings towards her haven't changed because I haven't gotten her yet.
In the original book, Zhou Mao got tired of her not long after marrying her, and the more she acted, the more tired he became of her. His wife, Gao, was also not an easy person to deal with. She was knowledgeable and sensible, and she had Zhou Mao under her control. The original person could not make any waves under her control, and was suppressed and felt very depressed. She fell ill and died within a few years.
Depend on men and you will end up with nothing.
Zhou Mao waited in front of the courtyard gate for a stick of incense. It was already dark and no one came to open the door. Even though the alley was quiet, he felt a little embarrassed. He became angry and walked away.
It was his destiny to go where he wanted to go tonight. As soon as he turned out of Baoqing Hutong, he met someone head-on.
Zhou Mao recognized him immediately and asked, "Is your wife at home?"
The person who came was Awu, whom I had met in the teahouse that day.
Ah Wu also recognized him. His eyes rolled as he thought about why he met him here. He wiped the wound at the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand to hide the smile that suddenly appeared on his face. "Mr. Zhou."
His face was pale, with a faint purple spot on his forehead, a wound at the corner of his mouth, and he walked a little unsteadily.
Zhou Mao didn't see any of this. The moment he recognized Awu, he made an explanation for Cheng Jiuniang in his mind. Ah, it turned out that there was no one at home, so no one came to open the door.
The anger in my heart had long since disappeared without a trace.
"Take me to see your wife."
When she reached the front of the house, Awu looked towards the front room, but the doorkeeper of Madam Cheng, the owner of the house, Mrs. Jiang, was not there.
He reached his hand through the crack in the door, removed the bolt from the inside, and opened the door.
Zhou Mao straightened himself and gestured for him to lead the way.
After entering the inner courtyard, Zhou Mao hurried towards the main house where the lights were on.
Awu climbed up the tree in the yard. Not sure if it hurt his wound, he let out a low groan and then chose a comfortable position to lie down.
There is no moon tonight.
Cheng Wei was trying to move objects other than seeds to the space laboratory using her mind, but all attempts failed. She couldn't hide people or other objects in the space laboratory. This space laboratory was only useful for seeds. Seeds could go in, and any amount of harvest could be stored inside. The space was infinite, and objects could also be moved out using her mind.
There are plug-ins, but not many.
Moving the rice out was also a hassle. A pile of rice was spread out on the ground, and she had to pack and move it herself. This meant that she could hardly transport the rice to exchange for silver on her own. To have an endless supply of food, one had to be a landlord or a merchant to hide it.
After almost completing the space laboratory, my previously excited heart gradually calmed down.
Be cautious and take your time.
"Meimei..."
There was a deliberately low knock at the door from outside, the voice was filled with endless lingering emotions. Cheng Mu instantly got goose bumps and stood up suddenly.
Zhou Mao!
His mind raced, and he understood why Zhou Mao was here.
Jiang actually let him in?
Zhou Mao called out twice, but seeing no response, he placed his hands on the door and gently tried, finding it wasn't locked, so he pushed it open.
When he slipped into the house, the lights inside suddenly went out.
Awu on the tree kept watching and clicked her tongue twice.
It was pitch black before his eyes. The beauty was in the west wing as promised, but he was afraid she would get lost in the dark. Recognizing the lingering fragrance, Zhou Mao instantly became excited. "Meimei..." He called Cheng Jiuniang by her nickname and chanted excitedly: "The quiet girl is so beautiful, waiting for me at home. I love her but cannot see her, scratching my head and hesitating..."
Suddenly, I bumped into the square table.
Cheng Mu hurriedly lit the oil lamp.
I just lost my composure.
Without lighting the lamp, things will be even more difficult to deal with.
Seeing the beautiful and radiant face under the lamp, Zhou Mao felt hot all over. When looking at a beauty under the lamp, an ugly girl will be three points more beautiful, not to mention that she is a real beauty with slightly raised eyebrows and bright eyes. The more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes.
Zhou Mao was so excited that he wanted to hug her in his arms, but Cheng Mu turned around and moved to the other side of the table.
"Brother Zhou, please sit down first. I'll go prepare some food and wine. Let's have some wine first."
Since ancient times, wine has been a matchmaker for sex, so Zhou Mao was naturally willing, but if Cheng Jiuniang went, it would take up too much time, so he said, "Let the maid go."
Cheng Mu thought Zhou Mao didn't know that Awu had been sent away, so she didn't want to say more to him. She then remembered that her original body had made an appointment with him that day, and when she came back she bought a pot of wine for Awu to bring back.
"Look at my memory," Cheng Mu went to move the wine, "I bought Fenhua wine on purpose that day."
Cheng Mu couldn't leave. To calm others down, she had to calm herself down first. This was the only way now.
Fenhua wine is the most famous wine in Puyang City. Zhou Mao nodded with satisfaction and turned over the two upside-down teacups on the table.
Before pouring the wine, Cheng Mu tentatively said, "Brother Zhou, I have something important to tell you."
Zhou Mao was already drunk before he drank, his heart aroused, and he looked at her with a charming smile, "Today we are meeting secretly, and we will only talk about tenderness, not other things."
Cheng Mu then concentrated on pouring the wine and raised it tremblingly, "Brother Zhou, drink this cup to the full." After Zhou Mao drank it, she poured a second cup of wine.
Zhou Mao took the wine, held Cheng Mu's hand tightly, stared at her with his charming eyes, watched her smile shyly on her pretty face, and slowly drank the wine from her hand.
After eating, he took the initiative and poured a cup for Cheng Mu, intending to feed her.
"Brother Zhou, you came so late, you have to drink three cups first..." Cheng Mu pinched her voice into a delicate voice, which sounded like the melodious chirping of a nightingale in Zhou Mao's ears. His bones were softened and he drank another cup in a daze.
It's not the wine that makes people drunk, it's people who make themselves drunk. Just when Zhou Mao realized how drunk he was, he opened his mouth, but without making a sound, he fell headfirst onto the table.
Cheng Mu called out "Brother Zhou" and "Brother Zhou" a few times, and was sure that the man was as dead as a pig and rotten mud.
She finally let go of the worry in her heart.
The original body had been drugged by her eldest sister's people with this medicine, which made her look disgraceful. She called it the dead pig and rotten mud medicine, hated it, and also prepared for it to guard against others.
Things have come to this point, Cheng Mu has no choice but to risk her life.
