Chapter 232 These are melon seeds, please try them, Mr. Fan
After the carriage arrived at the farm, Fan Qijun got off in a hurry.
He said to the driver, "Wait here. I'll be back soon."
"Yes, sir."
After Fan Qijun entered the farm, the coachman drove the carriage aside.
Xiao Chengjin looked at Fan Qijun who was jogging over and smiled.
"Ruoruo, Lord Fan is here."
Jiang Ruo quickly put down the melon seeds in her hand and turned to look at Fan Qijun who was rushing over.
"Master Fan is here, come and sit down."
Fan Qijun took a breath and bowed, saying, "This humble official greets Madam Xiao and Master Xiao."
Jiang Ruo looked at Fan Qijun who looked anxious and knew why he came here.
"Master Fan, there's no need to be so polite."
Dongxue bowed and said, "This servant greets Master Fan."
"No need to be so polite." Fan Qijun nodded at Dongxue.
After he took his seat, he directly stated his purpose.
"Mrs. Xiao, why did you think of growing wheat?"
"The soil here is not suitable for growing wheat."
Jiang Ruo smiled and explained seriously, "Master Fan, after purchasing these fertile fields, we specially learned some agricultural knowledge."
"After much deliberation, we decided to plant one season."
"I think this 'fertile land' can become real fertile land."
Fan Qijun looked at Jiang Ruo's confident expression and believed it for some reason.
He laughed heartily and said, "I was worrying too much."
Jiang Ruo raised her eyebrows slightly and pushed the plate of melon seeds towards Fan Qijun.
"These are melon seeds, Lord Fan, please try them." Jiang Ruo demonstrated it to him personally.
Fan Qijun quickly grasped the key points and started to eat them with a "crunch, crunch" sound.
"Madam Xiao, these melon seeds are not from our Dayan Dynasty!"
Jiang Ruo took the tea handed to her by Xiao Chengjin and took a sip to moisten her throat.
"Sir Fan, this melon seed is called a sunflower. When the sunflower disc is mature, it will be about this size." Jiang Ruo said, putting down the teacup and gesturing with his hands.
"Moreover, it has low requirements for land and is resistant to poor soil..."
Fan Qijun couldn't sit still after hearing this.
A spectacular scene appeared in his mind...the entire Jizhou was planted with the sunflowers that Jiang Ruo had mentioned.
Rich families will definitely buy such delicious snacks.
Thinking of this, Fan Qijun stood up excitedly, "Mrs. Xiao, what you said is true."
Xiao Chengjin looked at Fan Qijun, who was a little out of control, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
So, he deliberately said in a cold voice: "Sit down and talk."
Only then did Fan Qijun realize that he had lost his composure. He glanced at Xiao Chengjin, who had a serious expression, and quickly sat back down.
"Madam Xiao, I'm sorry. I lost my composure just now. Please don't blame me."
Jiang Ruo covered her lips and smiled, "Master Fan, the yield of this sunflower is not high. Besides, they don't know it, so they may not be willing to plant it."
"Next year, Xiao Chengjin and I will look for some crops that are suitable for the soil here."
"If it grows well, we won't have to waste our breath. The people around here will take the initiative to plant it."
At this point, Jiang Ruo couldn't help but joked, "In a few years, Jizhou will become a prosperous place, and your political achievements will be promoted immediately."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengjin jokingly said, "Once your political achievements are improved, Master Fan can be transferred to the capital to become a high-ranking official."
Jiang Ruo and Fan Qijun: "..."
You are such a rude person.
Fan Qijun looked at Xiao Chengjin's smug expression and replied with a smile, "Master, I wish you good luck."
In my heart, I was secretly thinking: If Jizhou really becomes a prosperous place, I will not leave!
If I go to the capital, Jizhou will be taken over by other corrupt officials!
Jiang Ruo said to Dongxue who was serving beside her: "Dongxue, go wash some fruit."
"Yes, master." Dongxue added tea to the three of them and turned to leave.
Upon hearing this, Fan Qiyun immediately became energetic.
Oh my god, there are fruits.
I didn’t have time to eat breakfast, so I’m really hungry.
Hehe, this trip was not in vain...
So he leisurely ate melon seeds and waited.
Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin looked at the comfortable Fan Qijun and glanced at each other quietly.
It's rare to have such leisure time, so relax!
When Dongxue came over with three plates of fruit, Fan Qijun's eyes lit up.
"Sir Fan, these fruits are all cultivated by someone I hired. Please try them." Xiao Chengjin said without blushing or panting.
"Then I won't be polite." Fan Qijun picked up a peach and started to bite it.
So sweet.
As expected of a wealthy family, the fruits they eat are all grown by dedicated people.
The three of them ate and talked, and Fan Qijun had long forgotten about returning to the government office.
The coachman waiting outside the gate was so anxious!
Why haven’t you come out yet?
Didn’t the adults say that you would be back soon?
If I don't go back now, I will miss lunch. Besides, the adults were busy this morning and haven't had breakfast yet.
In desperation, the driver tied up the horses and entered the farm.
When he saw Fan Qijun sitting there and laughing happily, he couldn't bear to break the situation.
So the driver had to turn back quietly.
The busy woman in the kitchen prepared lunch for the laborers skillfully according to the time.
When the aroma of food wafted out, Fan Qijun realized that it was almost noon.
He quickly stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Madam Xiao and Master Xiao, for your hospitality. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave."
Jiang Ruo stood up and said with a smile, "It's almost time for lunch, Master Fan, please have lunch before leaving!"
Just as Fan Qijun was about to refuse, he saw Xiao Chengjin glaring at him.
Xiao Chengjin: My Ruoruo has asked me to stay, so you should give me some face.
Dare to leave?
Break your dog legs.
Fan Qijun: “….”
What does this mean, sir?
Do I have to be so shameless as to stay for lunch?
Forget it, I’ve already eaten the melon seeds and fruits, so this lunch doesn’t make a difference.
Fan Qijun scratched his head and said, "Then, I will shamelessly stay."
In this way, the coachman was also called in.
When the laborers came back, Fan Qiyun realized that this "rich family" had invested a huge amount of money.
Jiang Ruo quietly instructed Dongxue to ask Madam Liu to cook a few more side dishes.
Before the meal, Fan Qijun said quietly, "Madam Xiao, if there are not enough people, please send someone to deliver a message to me, and I will arrange for the yamen runners to do it."
This way, you can save some money too.
Jiang Ruo smiled brightly and lowered her voice, "We just want them to use their own strength to increase the family income."
Upon hearing this, Fan Qijun suddenly understood, "So that's how it is."
"Mrs. Xiao and Master Xiao are kind-hearted, and I deeply admire them."
Hearing the laughter coming from another yard, a smile appeared on Fan Qijun's face.
Jizhou will become a prosperous place.
