Butler He looked at Gu Shouxin in surprise: "Brother Gu, these seeds are hard to come by. Our master doesn't know their growth cycle or the sowing time. If you don't take good care of them, it will be difficult to explain!"
“Since the sorcerer chose this land, it means this crop is a good match for this land! Let’s plant half and leave the other half, and give it a try. What if it works? Then we’ll have more seeds,” Gu Shouxin said.
Since you said it was a warlock's choice, I'll reply to you in the words of a warlock!
If we can't grow it, then it's because the sorcerer's skills aren't high enough, and it has little to do with our family.
Even if Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian didn't know these three things, Gu Shouxin's words meant that if things didn't go well, he would have a way to smooth things over.
“Uncle Gu’s idea works! However, I would like to make a request!” Lu Zheng hadn’t thought that far ahead.
He knew the situation of these seeds, when to sow them, and when they would grow.
He didn't bring all the seeds with him. Of these three, potatoes can definitely be harvested next year if planted now, but sweet potatoes and golden rice are not planted in this season.
But if you manage to grow the same thing, it can't be considered a mistake by Gu Jia.
His initial goal was simply to get closer to the Gu family; he didn't actually intend for them to grow all three crops successfully at once.
"Go ahead," Gu Shouxin said, raising an eyebrow at Lu Zheng.
“It’s not impossible for Uncle Gu’s family to take care of it, but I have to check on it every day. Otherwise, Uncle Gu will have to bring the crop status to town and tell me about it every day,” Lu Zheng said.
He bet that, given Gu Shouxin's lazy and gambling nature, he would definitely find it too troublesome to go to town and would let him come instead.
Although, judging from his interaction with this family yesterday, Gu Shouxin doesn't seem to be that kind of person.
“Alright! As long as Young Master Zhou has time, you can come and visit every day. If you don’t have time, you can send someone to ask! Please bear with me, Young Master Zhou. I need to study to prepare for next year’s imperial examination, so coming and going to town, plus tending to the crops, is quite a waste of time.” Gu Shouxin agreed when he saw that Cai Xiaolian did not object.
"What? Brother Gu is preparing for the imperial examination?" Butler He asked in surprise.
Lu Zheng was also quite surprised. A scientific expedition? Gu Shouxin didn't have any official rank or title, did he?
He's already thirty years old, and this is the first time he's starting to prepare for a scientific expedition?
“Sigh, Young Master Zhou, Steward He, to be honest, my husband has done a lot of unreliable things over the years, but before we got married, he was the one the teacher at the school praised as the most likely to pass the imperial examination. It’s not too late for him to pick up his books again now,” Cai Xiaolian said from the side.
"Bang!" At that moment, a crashing sound rang out from outside.
"Ah!" At the same time, Gu Xin's scream suddenly came from outside.
Almost simultaneously, Lu Zheng and Gu Shouxin arrived at the door together.
"Xin'er! What's wrong? What happened to you?" Lu Zheng grabbed Gu Xin's shoulders anxiously, his face full of worry.
Gu Shouxin was a step too slow and was beaten to it. Now he narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Zheng. This guy surnamed Zhou, Xin'er, huh?
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Cai Xiaolian lagged behind a few steps, and Gu Nian from the kitchen also ran out.
Both mother and daughter saw Lu Zheng's worried expression and his actions.
"Pig, wild boar!" Gu Xin's hand was still trembling as she pointed outside the door.
"Wow! What a huge wild boar! I was just talking to Xinxin about whether there are wild boars in the back mountains, and when we could invite Uncle to go for a walk. Xinxin even said it was delicious and she wanted to eat some!" Gu Nian said, but then she realized something was off and looked at Gu Xin.
