Thinking of this, He Guixiang looked at Li Miaomiao with doubt: "Miaomiao, what you said to Xiaofan is true. Do you still need to grow seeds into seedlings?"
"Mom, of course it's true. Would I lie? Planting isn't just for farmers. There are courses in college on this, and there are books specifically teaching farmers how to plant. I've seen them before and I still remember what they said. I'm just raising seedlings according to the methods described above."
"It's true that there is knowledge everywhere in reading, even in farming."
"Mom, I've planted quite a few of these seedlings. I'll send you some when they're all grown."
"That's great! I'd like to see if the seedlings you grow this way grow better than the ones I usually grow."
"Then you'll just have to wait and see."
Li Miaomiao said confidently that her seeds were of high-quality varieties produced by the space. If the yield was not higher, it would not be a slap in her face, but a slap in the face of the system.
Ling Xiaoling: ...
Mrs. Pei came out from the kitchen, busying herself, and heard Li Miaomiao say, "Second daughter-in-law, if that's the case, please leave some examples for me, so I can try to grow some."
"Mom, you don't have to say this, I'll keep it for you."
When the Li family returned in the afternoon, Li Miaomiao packed a lot of things for them, including 20 kilograms of flour, 2 kilograms of white sugar and brown sugar each, 1 kilogram of milk candy and a few bags of osmanthus cake, and 2 kilograms of meat.
Li Miaomiao didn't let Old Lady Pei see these things. She put them directly into a sack, tied them up, and asked her eldest brother to carry them back.
"Miaomiao, why are you packing so much? We came here to eat and drink today, why are you taking anything back?"
He Guixiang looked at Li Miaomiao unhappily, thinking that her daughter was being silly and generous.
"Mom, this is a little gift from me. My brother and sister-in-law are here today, but the children at home are not here. I brought these things back as a token of my love for the children."
The Li family has not split up yet, so all of Li Miaomiao's things will be given together. He Guixiang will naturally distribute them when the time comes, and there is no need to divide them into several parts.
"Okay, don't stop me from doing what my daughter wants."
After hearing what Li Miaomiao and her husband said, He Guixiang did not object. Seeing that her daughter was living a good life today, she felt much more relieved.
After leaving Li Miaomiao's house, the daughters-in-law of the Li family felt a little curious. They always brought things in large and small bags and never took anything back, but this time was different.
No matter what the sister-in-law gave, this thought made them feel a lot more comfortable. After all, relatives should have a give-and-take relationship. No one would be happy with unilateral subsidies over time.
When they returned to Li's house and opened the sack, they were shocked to see that it was filled with such precious things.
"What is Miaomiao doing? She brings all these good things back to us instead of keeping them for herself!" He Guixiang said this in a somewhat anxious tone, wishing she could return the things immediately.
Even Liao Xuemei and the others were surprised. Although the things in this small sack were much more valuable than what they had sent, they were all good things that they were reluctant to buy.
"No, I can't just hold all these good things. Old man, please return them to Miaomiao."
Although Li Degui felt sorry for his daughter, he didn't listen to He Guixiang this time. Instead, he said, "Since your daughter has taken it, just accept it. Over the years, as her brother and sister-in-law, we have subsidized her. Although your daughter doesn't say it, she remembers it in her heart. Now that your daughter has made a name for herself, she wants to repay you. If I don't take it, she will be unhappy."
When Li Degui said this, he deliberately glanced at his son and daughter-in-law.
"Also, leave a copy of these things for the third and fourth rooms. Since they are my daughter's gifts, we have to let them know that my daughter is not heartless."
He Guixiang knew what her husband meant when she heard this, and thought of her daughter-in-law's occasional complaints: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"
In short, everyone was happy when they went back to Li Miaomiao's house, the adults and the children were happy too. He Guixiang gave each of them a piece of osmanthus cake and two milk candies, and the children's laughter never stopped.
After sending her family away and her parents-in-law leaving, Li Miaomiao prepared to make handmade soap.
The materials are ready, and the only thing left to prepare is the mold.
Things for home use don't need to be made very beautiful, so Li Miaomiao used scrap wood to hammer and make a large square frame to hold soap liquid.
Li Miaomiao prepared everything that needed to be prepared and completed it step by step according to the methods and ratios given by the system. It was not a technically difficult task and everything went smoothly.
After pouring the mixed soap liquid into the mold, Li Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief.
It looks like it's done. The next step is to let the liquid produce a chemical reaction in the mold. Wait a day or two and then check again.
Pei Yifan was very curious when he saw Li Miaomiao's series of actions.
"Mom, can you really make soap like this?"
"Of course you can. Don't touch it for the next day or two. The liquid in the box is still undergoing a chemical reaction. After a day or two, the soap will be ready."
The first time she made handmade soap, Li Miaomiao didn’t make it too complicated. She just made the soap first, and next time, she would adjust the materials and formula according to the purpose.
Pei Yifan nodded obediently: "I remember, Mom."
Li Miaomiao had nothing to worry about as her cub was so obedient and well-behaved. After giving him some instructions, she went to work in the vegetable garden, leaving the little guy to stare at the mold on his own.
Since she wanted to grow vegetables, the land in the yard had been abandoned for so long that it had little fertility. Even with some wood ash, the fertility was still not enough. Li Miaomiao bought a few bags of organic compound fertilizer from the system mall and buried the fertilizer in the soil as base fertilizer.
The vegetables in this yard have to be grown well. They will be their family's food in the future, so they have to be taken good care of.
That is, in the countryside, they can still grow vegetables in their own private plots, but in the city, they have to pay for even a cabbage, and they may not be able to get fresh ones.
This is not the era where money can buy everything.
Thinking of this, Li Miaomiao worked harder.
Seeing the little guy still staring at the soap-making mold in the utility room, Li Miaomiao secretly bought dozens of half-grown and almost mature seedlings from the system mall and planted them in the land with base fertilizer.
These are seasonal vegetables. It is useless to plant them with seeds. Even if the seeds germinate, the seedlings will not grow well. But for the grown seedlings, as long as the method is correct, it is not a problem to transplant them into the ground and they will survive.
I planted a few of each: eggplant, beans, winter melon, pumpkin, loofah, beans and cucumbers.
Especially chili peppers, Li Miaomiao planted a lot of them, which can be dried into chili peppers or made into chili sauce. Both are commonly used. For someone like her who loves spicy food, they are really indispensable.
Pei Yifan stayed in the utility room for an hour before coming out. When he came out, he saw a lot more vegetable seedlings in the fields in the yard and thought he was dazzled.
