Traveling through the years of disaster, I took Lingquan Space to escape the famine

Chapter 256 Lin September: Topping rapeseed

Vegetables are expensive in winter. Vegetables that sell for one cent per catty in summer can be sold for ten cents per catty in winter. The price has increased tenfold!

If all the twenty acres of rapeseed were sold, even if only the middle root of a rapeseed tree was pinched, it would cost at least several thousand kilograms.

A pound of rapeseed is sold for ten cents per pound, so wouldn’t it cost dozens of taels of silver?

Moreover, after selling the rapeseed moss, you can also collect the rapeseed, which will also be an income.

Calculated in this way, growing rapeseed is much more cost-effective than growing other grains.

Lin Jiuyue smiled.

"I don't know, it's probably close to a hundred taels of silver."

Things are rare and expensive. If it is summer, vegetables are indeed worthless, but at this time, rapeseed moss is still quite popular.

However, we have to go to the town to sell it tomorrow to know whether it will sell well or not.

"Okay, everyone, don't be stunned, let's do it."

Following Lin Jiuyue's instructions, several people started.

The rapeseed in the rapeseed field has grown to half a person's height, and there is no machine to harvest it. Lin Jiuyue had no choice but to bring his family's servants to harvest it.

It was also because there were still a few people at home, otherwise Lin Jiuyue wouldn't have bothered with this matter.

Lin Jiuyue planted something unique in her field, which was already quite conspicuous.

Although everyone has never seen rapeseed, Lin Jiuyue had never touched rapeseed before. They thought that this thing should be harvested seeds like wheat.

Everyone around thought so. When they saw Lin Jiuyue and his servants working in the fields, the people passing by stopped.

"Miss Lin, can you harvest this thing called rapeseed now? I thought you were harvesting seeds."

"No, this is the seed harvester."

Lin Jiuyue also gave a good-tempered explanation to the person who asked the question.

When Lin Jiuyue said that the rapeseed was really harvested, the people who asked the question were stunned.

Since they are harvesting seeds, why do they have to be pinched now? Isn't she afraid that she won't get the seeds after pinching?

"You're harvesting seeds? Then why are you pinching it now?"

"Topping the canola and pinching it will yield a better harvest."

Questioner:…

I have never heard of pinching grain to increase production. Could Miss Lin be bluffing?

"Miss Lin, are you kidding me? The tips of the seeds are pinched, can they still produce seeds?"

Lin Jiuyue stopped pinching the rapeseed moss and straightened up.

"Have you ever pruned a tree? The same principle applies to tipping rapeseed."

After hearing this, the villagers looked thoughtful. After a while, I felt like I suddenly realized something.

"Oh~ So that's what happened, Miss Lin, you know so much!"

While Lin was pinching rapeseed moss in Jiuyue, waves of villagers came to watch the fun.

Just started. When the villagers asked, Lin Jiuyue explained in a good-tempered manner. But later, there were so many people asking that Lin Jiuyue was too lazy to explain.

Seven people, including Lin Jiuyue, picked up rapeseed moss and filled the baskets and other things they had brought with them in a short time.

"That's enough, that's enough. Let's get these first and take them to the town tomorrow to sell them. If they sell well, it won't be too late to pinch more."

There is no preservative here, and vegetables are not easy to preserve. As long as they are removed from the soil, their freshness will drop several degrees.

It’s best to pinch and sell at the same time.

"Yes, miss. The old slave will carry all these onto the carriage."

After Uncle Li finished speaking, he was about to put the basket on the carriage, but Laifu Laicai beat him to it.

"Shopkeeper, you are old, just leave this job to us."

After Laifu finished speaking, he took the lead in carrying a basket on his back and walked towards the carriage on the roadside as fast as flying.

Uncle Li looked at Laifu helplessly.

"This kid is quite strong."

Lin Jiuyue:......

Fortunately, Uncle Li has never seen his own strength. If he had, Uncle Li would be ashamed of himself!

Driving the carriage, as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, some villagers saw Lin Jiuyue coming back.

"Miss Lin, what did you make? Why does it look like rapeseed to me?"

"It's rapeseed. The rapeseed has grown moss. I'll pinch it back a little."

The villagers chatting at the entrance of the village heard this and looked at each other.

The Lin family had grown rapeseed with great fanfare before, but why did they pinch the heart of the rapeseed now? Doesn't this mean you are white? I really don’t understand what these rich people think.

"Miss Lin, doesn't it mean you're white if you pinch me?"

Lin Jiuyue smiled and did not explain any more.

I'm tired of explaining myself.

When he got home, Uncle Li was afraid that the rapeseed moss would be damaged if it was left in the yard when it was freezing at night, so he put the rapeseed moss that he picked up today back into the house.

Before dawn the next day, Lin Jiuyue heard the deliberately low voices in the yard.

"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't wake up the lady. Let her sleep a little longer."

Lin Jiuyue lost sleep when she heard the voices coming from the yard, put on her clothes and walked outside.

"Miss, why are you up? Don't you want to sleep more? Is the old slave disturbing you?"

Lin Jiuyue shook his head.

"No, it's time to wake up. By the way, Uncle Li, have the rape moss been installed?"

Uncle Li frowned.

"Miss, everything is ready. However, it was freezing last night and the road may be slippery. Do you want to go to the town with us?"

"Well, it's the first time today that rapeseed moss is being sold, so I'll go and have a look too."

Uncle Li hesitated when he heard this.

"Miss, the road is slippery, why not? You just stay at home? Although Lao Nu was selling grain in the town before, the business in the world is not much different. Lao Nu and Laifulai Cai can handle it."

Lin Jiuyue knew that Uncle Li asked her to stay at home for her own good.

But today is the first time my family sells rapeseed moss. How could I not go and take a look? Even if I stay at home, I can't help but think about selling rapeseed moss. Instead of doing this, I might as well go with him now.

"It's okay, Uncle Li. Go drive the carriage."

Seeing that Lin Jiuyue had made up his mind, Uncle Li had no choice but to turn around and drive the carriage.

It is about to enter the twelfth lunar month, and there is not much work to do in the countryside. Everyone usually gathers at the entrance of the village to chat.

The conversation was not about big things, just gossip about the parents of the east and the west and the shortcomings of the family.

Lin Jiuyue also went to the entrance of the village before and listened to the gossips of the women in the village, which was quite interesting.

But the premise is that the object of this gossip is not yourself!

Lin Jiuyue led his servants and pulled a cart of rape moss past the village entrance. Since it was just a little bright, there were no people at the village entrance. There were only one or two diligent people who were carrying farm tools to the fields. go.

We are all from the same village, so we will inevitably say hello when we meet.

"Miss Lin, what are you doing with these rape moss this early in the morning?"

the villagers asked curiously.
