Qin San Niang frowned. What kind of seeds did she need? Thinking of how spring-like the space was all year round, and how fertile the fields in the backyard were, plus her magical spatial water, even though she wasn't good at farming, the harvest shouldn't be too bad! After the harvest, she could use the grain from the space as seeds to plant in her own fields.
Now that she possesses this extraordinary space, Qin San Niang plans to make good use of it and plant everything that can be grown!
“Anything is fine, beans, corn, or millet are all acceptable,” Wu Chunhua said before Qin Sanniang could answer.
Seeing Qin San Niang's appearance, she figured Qin San Niang might not know much about farming, so she said some things first, and Qin San Niang could add more later when she had thought it through.
"Yes, and if you have any other vegetable or fruit seeds, you can bring some out for me to see," Qin San Niang added.
"Alright, everyone, come with me." The young waiter said, and led everyone quickly to the next room, where the grain seeds were stored.
Since it wasn't peak season for selling grain seeds, they were all moved here. Firstly, to prevent them from being sold as ordinary grain, and secondly, for better storage, since grain seeds are obviously more valuable than grain itself!
The grains grown here are all plump and glossy – excellent seeds! Wu Chunhua and Qin Sanniang are very satisfied with them. The bean and corn seeds are also good, and the rice is quite good too, but since it's wasteland, they probably can't plant rice for the time being.
Seeing that they were satisfied, the young shop assistant knew that the deal was likely to be made, and happily prepared to go to the shelf to get some vegetable and fruit seeds, all of which were placed in a large wicker box.
There was a clanging and rattling sound, and when the fat girl saw it, she rushed over to help. The waiter smiled and expressed his gratitude.
"Madam, we have carrot seeds, cabbage, green onions, radishes, and many other things here. They're all labeled. Which ones do you think are suitable? I'll give you a discount!" the young shop assistant said obsequiously. People who are used to this business have sharp eyes and can tell at a glance who can make decisions.
Hearing that there are so many vegetable seeds available, Qin San Niang will definitely buy some. She can just scatter some in her spatial garden, and a good harvest will grow. This way, she can solve her daily vegetable needs. Besides, the supermarket also had some fruits like watermelons, cantaloupes, jackfruits, and loquats. She can start seedlings of those too and give it a try! What if they succeed?!
So, while Wu Chunhua and her son were selecting seeds, Qin San Niang bought a lot of vegetable and fruit seeds.
"Third Aunt, your family has eight mu of land in total. What are you planning to plant? We plan to plant beans and corn. The newly cleared wasteland can't support very delicate crops!" Wu Chunhua selected the grains her family needed, half corn and half beans. As for vegetables, she wasn't in a hurry. It wasn't the season for planting vegetables, and besides, compared to grains, vegetables and fruits weren't essential for them. From her observation, there must be plenty of wild vegetables in Shiligou. As long as they had grains, they could manage.
“Then I’ll buy half beans and half corn! We’ll have to rely on you for the farm work, sister-in-law!” In her previous life, the pampered Qin San Niang didn’t know anything about farming. Although she had books now, she hadn’t read them yet. Everyone has their own expertise, and on this point, she decided to listen to Wu Chunhua’s advice!
Wu Chunhua nodded confidently and said, "Don't worry, you can't go wrong with my advice! We'll also cultivate some vegetable plots around the house and plant cucumbers, radishes, garlic, and the like. We'll have vegetables then!"
"Then I'll trouble you and Fatty to pick some out for my family too!"
“No problem, don’t be so polite. What you’ve done for us is something Fatty and I can never repay in our lifetime. Also, please select grains for Brother Qingshan’s family and Scholar He’s family as well. They told me about it before!” Wu Chunhua then began to carefully select the grains, even more meticulously than when she herself had done it.
Seeing that it might take some time to see her, Qin San Niang suggested to them that they go to the market instead. Wu Chunhua naturally had no objections. The main purpose of this trip to the city was to look for business opportunities. She wasn't as quick-witted as San Niang, so it was better for her to stay here and select grain seeds.
After saying that, the shop assistant quickly reassured her that she could rest and wait in the shop after Wu Chunhua finished selecting the grains.
The young shop assistant was in a good mood. He hadn't expected to make such a big sale so early in the morning. This was a big customer! Usually, the price of seeds was higher than that of grain, about ten coins more per pound. Twenty acres of seeds was quite a lot. Adding the fruit and vegetable seeds that Qin San Niang bought, it was truly a considerable income!
Stepping outside, Qin Sanniang strolled leisurely through the market. Now that they were settled, as long as they had enough grain, they didn't need to hoard food. Taking advantage of this opportunity to travel alone, she planned to buy some chickens and ducks to put in her spatial storage; the backyard was spacious enough to raise them. She also wanted to buy some farming tools, as she intended to cultivate the backyard and plant grains and vegetables in her spare time…
Thinking about it this way, there really are quite a few things to deal with!
It was more than an hour later when Qin San Niang had prepared everything. The farm tools of this era were rather primitive and not as convenient as modern ones! Moreover, ironware was regulated in this era, so Qin San Niang had spent a lot of money to buy all the necessary farm tools in order to expand her territory in the space.
Incidentally, she also wanted to buy some saplings, but unfortunately, she couldn't find any for sale.
The farm tool broker, upon hearing that she intended to buy saplings, couldn't hide his surprise. He thought this woman was truly strange—coming out in the freezing cold to buy saplings? Wasn't that just throwing money away? She clearly knew nothing about farming; he wondered if her husband would beat her! However, considering she had made him some money, the broker earnestly advised her against it.
"Young lady, it's winter now, the ground is frozen! It's not a good time to transplant saplings or plant crops! If you don't know anything about farming, you can ask the elders in your family; they probably know! Of course, I'm just saying, it's ultimately up to your husband to decide!" As soon as he said this, the broker realized, what if she had other uses for it?! Had he been meddling in other people's business?
Qin San Niang could only smile awkwardly. She couldn't very well tell him that she had a constant-temperature soil that existed in all four seasons. After thanking him for his kindness, she carried her farm tools and left.
Upon reaching the deserted alley, he placed all the farm tools he had bought into his spatial storage. After wandering around for a long time without finding any chicken or ducklings for sale, he had to abandon the plan and wait until spring to make another decision.
