Chapter 535 Planting Chili Peppers
There was no answer to this question for the time being, so Shen Qingqian quickened his pace and stopped only when he reached Lin Siyu.
"The Sixth Girl is Here"
"Ah, Aunt Qi, with Sixth Miss here, you won't have to worry about the crops you grow not being able to feed the whole family."
"That's right, Aunt Qi, you don't know that the Sixth Miss..."
Someone almost blurted out the sweet potato thing, but was interrupted by Jiang Goudan's coughing, "Ahem, who of you brought water?"
As he spoke, Jiang Goudan tugged at the speaker's sleeve and winked at him. The man then realized that he had almost let the cat out of the bag and quickly untied the bamboo tube from his waist, "I have some here, take a sip."
Oh my god, if he had just said the word "sweet potato", his head would have been moved!
Liang Cheng's initial order to silence the public was very strict. No one else must know about this matter. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!
Nowadays, Jiang Goudan and his men are not allowed to grow sweet potatoes. Only those in the small valley are still growing them. However, apart from the amount they eat themselves, the rest must be sold to the Hubei North Army.
"It turns out that Sixth Sister is proficient in farming. She is worthy of being the granddaughter of Master Shen." Lin Siyu said to Shen Qingqian with admiration on her face.
Shen Qingqian felt uncomfortable being praised, and changed the subject with a smile, "Let's go to the fields first and see what's suitable to plant there."
In fact, she was not used to strangers calling her sisters, but Lin Siyu's family had done Shen Jun a favor, so even for the sake of her second brother, she couldn't say anything.
Moreover, Lin Siyu's words just now seemed insignificant at first glance, but the four words "proficient in farming" were tantamount to flattery to her. This did not seem like a person who could speak well.
Maybe it was because of what Sheng Ze said last night, but when Shen Qingqian looked at Lin Siyu today, she felt that she was scheming.
Soon they arrived at the field. Qi pointed to the land in front of them and said to Shen Qingqian, "Sister Qian, the land between the cypress tree over there and the poplar tree over here belongs to us. Let's see how we can best manage it."
Along the way, Mrs. Lu and Jiang Goudan talked about many things that Shen Qingqian had done for everyone before, and Mrs. Qi's mentality changed as she didn't want to trouble the Shen family.
Just asking Shen Qingqian to help with the planning shouldn't be too much trouble for her.
Shen Qingqian looked around, then squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, crushed it to see if it was there, and then moved closer to smell the scent. Then, she said to Qi: "Aunt, your land is a little different from that of Brother Jiang and his family."
In other words, you can't follow Jiang Goudan and the others to grow crops, otherwise the crop yield cannot be guaranteed.
"Ah, then this..." Qi was a little confused.
When they arrived in northern Hubei, they had to start all over again. All the money she had saved was gone, leaving only some scattered money. It was not easy for the family to survive until the autumn harvest.
"Sixth sister, is our land not good?" Lin Siyu asked worriedly.
Shen Qingqian shook her head. "It's not bad, it's just a little different from Brother Jiang and the others."
Jiang Goudan and his family's land is about a mile away from the Lin family. Shen Qingqian had previously thought that the soil on both sides was probably similar, but she didn't expect that after actually seeing it, she found out that they were different.
"What should we do then?" Old Mrs. Lin became anxious.
Everyone in the Lin family looked at Shen Qingqian. This piece of land was their family's hope for survival in northern Hubei!
Shen Qingqian no longer kept the secret and said with a faint smile: "The soil is slightly different, so you should plant more peppers!"
That’s right, the Lin family’s land is very suitable for growing peppers.
However, Shen Qingqian had selfish motives in asking them to grow peppers.
