Chapter 212 I am glad to help you
Yan Wenxiu continued, "The housekeeper has taken his men back to his hometown. They should be able to gather another batch of grain seeds. However, the quantity won't be much, and it might be a little later. I wonder if we'll still have time to plant this year."
Xiao Yeyang fell silent.
It would take at least ten days to half a month to go from Xingzhou to Yanjia Village and back, even if you travel non-stop. It would take until mid-November to send it from here to Fenxi.
By then, the best planting time will have been missed.
Xiao Yeyang frowned and asked, "How many stones can your family gather?"
Yan Wenxiu: "About 2,000 shi."
Upon hearing the number, before Xiao Yeyang could say anything, Defu spoke anxiously, "So little? How can this be enough?"
Yan Wenxiu quickly added, "My third uncle estimated that we can collect about 5,000 shi back home."
Defu: "But you guys back home might not have enough time, and even if we get 5,000 more stones, it still won't be enough."
Xiao Yeyang knocked on the stone table and said in a deep voice: "If it's not enough, there's no other way. Let's send the batch you collected first."
Daohua sat nearby, watching the two men talking seriously. After they finished, she asked, "Are you collecting grain seeds?"
Xiao Yeyang thought about the transportation and nodded casually.
Yan Wenxiu, on the other hand, was thinking that the Yan family was too poor. If they had more land and farmland, they would definitely be able to help the young prince and Governor Guo this time. Unfortunately, the Yan family rose to power too late.
Because he was so engrossed in his thoughts, he didn't hear Daohua's question at all.
Daohua was not satisfied with the two people's perfunctory attitude, but still asked, "Why don't you ask me if I have any grain seeds?" After that, she looked at the two people in confusion. They even sent people from their hometown, but didn't even ask the person in front of her.
After hearing Daohua's words, Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wenxiu turned their heads in unison to look at her, with a look of confusion, surprise, and expectation on their faces.
"Miss Yan, do you have any grain seeds?" Defu asked this question in surprise.
Daohua raised her head and said, "Of course I have it. Don't forget, I own several farms."
Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wenxiu's breathing quickened at the same time.
Forgive them, they really forgot about this, or they just ignored it out of habit.
In their opinion, the women in the house could not get involved in such a big event and were powerless, so they never thought about Daohua at all.
Not only them, even Yan Zhigao didn't think of this.
Xiao Yeyang pursed his dry lips and asked tentatively, "How much grain do you have?"
Daohua raised an eyebrow: "How much do you want?"
Seeing her arrogant tone, Xiao Yeyang's eyes lit up and he made a 1 with his hand: "Do you have 10,000 shi?" His uncle had lost 20,000 shi of grain seeds. As long as he could collect more than 10,000 shi, the Guo family would find a way to help his uncle escape punishment.
Daohua smiled and said, "Look at how cautious you are. It's just 10,000 dan of grain seeds, isn't it?" Then, she patted her chest and said proudly, "I'll help you with this."
As soon as these words were spoken, both Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wenxiu were surprised.
However, Yan Wenxiu was worried that Daohua was too young and didn't know how much 10,000 dan was, so he quickly confirmed, "Big sister, it's 10,000 dan, not one dan, ten dan, or one hundred dan."
Seeing that she was looked down upon, Daohua was unhappy: "I am not a three-year-old child, of course I know how much 10,000 shi is."
Xiao Yeyang believed in Daohua and quickly said, "The grain is planted on your farm, right? Tell me the address and I'll send someone to get it right away. We have to hurry, as Fenxi is still waiting to plant the grain."
Daohua said to Wang Maner, "Go call Brother Xiaoliu over and ask him to take the people to the granary."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Defu, and Defu immediately said, "I'll go with Miss Man'er."
After the two of them left, Yan Wenxiu looked at Daohua and asked, "Big sister, how come you have stored so much food?"
Daohua spread his hands, tilted his head and smiled, "I didn't save any. This is from the autumn harvest, just picked up. I've been busy practicing horseback riding recently, so I haven't had time to sell it yet."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang and Yan Wenxiu looked at each other quickly, and then both smiled with relief.
But they knew that Daohua liked to sell things to save money and then buy more farms.
Xiao Yeyang frowned quickly and asked, "Autumn harvest? Then this wheat seed can be cold-resistant?"
Daohua: "Don't worry, Daohua's products are absolutely top quality. They are not only cold-resistant, but also insect-resistant."
The wheat seeds used on her farm were all grown on the loess soil in space. The reason she planted so much was that she wanted to promote the seeds faster and in greater quantities.
Yan Wenxiu glanced at Daohua. He knew where his father got that batch of high-yield grain seeds, so after hearing what Daohua said, he was no longer worried about the quality of the seeds.
Soon, Qin Xiaoliu followed Defu over.
Daohua said to Qin Xiaoliu, "Brother Xiaoliu, take Defu and the others to the granary to get grain seeds immediately." After saying that, she paused and tilted her head to look at Yan Wenxiu.
"Is ten thousand stones enough? Do you want some more?"
Xiao Yeyang's breathing stagnated, and then he coughed a few times and cleared his throat: "If you have more, the more the better."
Daohua immediately looked at Qin Xiaoliu and said, "Give them all the grain seeds in the granary."
Qin Xiaoliu nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Qin Xiaoliu took Defu and the guards brought by Xiao Yeyang to the granary in Daohua Village to get grain, and Yan Wenxiu also followed.
"Okay, the problem of grain seeds has been solved. Don't worry, just wait patiently." Daohua smiled and poured another cup of tea for Xiao Yeyang.
Looking at the freshly brewed tea, Xiao Yeyang felt a little thirsty. He picked up the teacup and started drinking, sighing as he drank.
The incident of my uncle losing his grain seeds was truly a case of unexpected turns and a ray of hope.
Now, as long as we send the grain seeds to Fenxi as soon as possible, we don’t have to worry about my uncle being punished.
The matter was resolved and he felt relieved.
After drinking most of the cup, Xiao Yeyang put it down and looked at Daohua, who was smiling and sipping the tea from the cup opposite him. A warm feeling slowly welled up in his heart.
Although he was born into a royal family and had a noble status, he had few people who were truly close to him.
From childhood to adulthood, his father had never disciplined him. Although his uncle loved him, the country was in trouble, so it had always been his uncle who taught him.
His uncle lost the grain seeds and faced punishment, and he was really anxious and worried.
Fortunately, there is a rice flower.
This guy has been bringing him surprises and unexpected things since the first time they met, making people want to get closer to him.
"Thank you!"
Hearing this, Daohua smiled. Seeing Xiao Yeyang's serious expression, she immediately waved her hand generously: "You're welcome. We are friends after all!"
Xiao Yeyang was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Friend?"
Seeing that he didn't agree, Daohua looked unfriendly: "Why, don't you consider me your friend?"
Xiao Yeyang thought the term "friend" was strange, but seeing Daohua's expression as if she would immediately turn hostile if he dared to say otherwise, he shook his head decisively: "We are friends."
Daohua smiled again. "Friends should help each other, so you don't need to be so polite to me. Besides, you have helped my family a lot, haven't you?"
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment: "I haven't done anything for your family."
Daohua put away the smile on her face and said seriously, "Even if you don't do anything, you've helped our family." As she spoke, a fashionable smile appeared on her face again, "Anyway, I'm very happy to be able to help you this time."
