Baby brings his own shopping mall to travel through

Chapter 113 Vermicelli

When Qi Xingyun heard Xiao Cao'er say that her family wanted to buy a field, he was stunned for a moment, "Why are you thinking of buying a field?"

“It’s used to grow sweet potatoes and corn.”

"Oh, Xiaocaoer wants to grow sweet potatoes and corn?"

“After these two crops are harvested, I will ask my dad to plant more next time, and then we can make vermicelli to eat.” He licked his lips as he said this.

"What is vermicelli? Is it delicious?" Qi Xingyun's heart softened when he saw her cute look.

"I don't know, I've never eaten it, but isn't everything edible delicious?" Xiao Cao'er looked up at Qi Xingyun and said.

Qi Xingyun: Oh, it seems so.

"Then how do you know vermicelli is edible?"

"I dreamed that sweet potatoes could be made into vermicelli, so I wanted to try it out and see if it tasted good." Xiao Cao said seriously. "If it really worked, we wouldn't have to go hungry. Well, it tastes good even if it's not made into vermicelli." Then he licked his lips again.

Qi Xingyun: Even a one-year-old baby is worried about whether people can have enough to eat, so shouldn’t we do more?

"Didn't your parents go to the pawnshop to ask if there was any suitable land for sale?" Qi Xingyun turned to look at Damao and said, why should a baby worry about this?

Xiao Caoer: I have a lot of things to worry about.

Da Mao: Sister, why are you talking about this? Didn't our family agree to buy the land secretly? If you tell others about it, wouldn't that mean we have money? Although Brother Xingyun doesn't care about our money.

Da Mao: "My parents looked at a few places a while ago. Either they were too far from home to manage, or there were too many plots to sell and they couldn't be sold separately. Our family can't afford to buy them right now. And my parents have been busy with the workshop recently, so they haven't had time to look for a place."

Xiao Caoer agreed that her parents were very busy. "Yes, they were too busy. I could only learn to read with my little brother at home. Even when I wanted to go out to see Grandpa Zheng, it was my grandma who brought me here."

Simao: What do you mean you can only read with me? I can only draw for you, okay? Pictures of furniture, dolls, and various pillows.

Isn't this an embroidery workshop that makes dolls? Why are you making handkerchiefs now? And crossbody bags, it would be fine if there was only one, but the problem is that you, a young lady, can think of countless designs.

There are more than ten kinds of pictures of bunnies and pandas. If you name a whole set, not counting the cartoon versions, I can't finish drawing them. I don't even have time to study on my own. How can you teach me how to read?

He only dared to complain in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud. His sister said that in order to seize the initiative, these works should first launch the single items, then the cartoon versions, and finally the collections.

By the time others imitate me, I have already launched new products. I eat meat and you can only follow my footsteps and drink soup.

"It's really hard for us little grass," said Zheng Huaming.

"Isn't it difficult? It's almost time to harvest sweet potatoes and corn, but my family hasn't bought any land yet. Where should we plant them? It's really worrying." Xiao Cao'er said in an adult tone.

"By the way, Zhuqing, when are you going to start harvesting the sweet potatoes and corn? I came back for something." Qi Xingyun asked.

"Yesterday I heard from Grandpa Goudan that he dug up a sweet potato from the field and found that it is ready to be harvested." Damao replied.

"I have arranged to collect it here. Do you want me to send someone to help?" Qi Xingyun asked.

"No, no, we can handle it."

Qi Xingyun: "The term of office of our Pingjiang County Magistrate Cui has expired. He was transferred some time ago. He will leave in the next two days. The new Magistrate Tang arrived yesterday. We also know him. This time, he harvested sweet potatoes and corn, and he will promote their cultivation to the surrounding people first."

"So the county government will buy the sweet potatoes grown this time from the people and then distribute them to the people in the surrounding areas."

Mr. Zheng: "Is it that boy Tang Yanshu?"

Zheng Huaming looked disdainful: "Yes, it's him. He asked to be sent out. I don't understand what he is thinking. Isn't it good to get a position as a Hanlin in Kyoto? He has a leisurely and noble life. Why would he come to this poor and remote place to seek trouble?"

"A remote place? Then what are you doing here? If you don't like it here so much, why do you stay here every day?" Mr. Zheng said.

"I have no choice. If it weren't for the sweet potatoes and corn, do you think I would stay here every day? The most important thing is that you are here, so I have to come back to fulfill my filial piety, right?" Zheng Huaming said with a smile.

"Look at Tang Yanshu. He is only a few years older than you, but he has the ambition to do things for the people. What about you? You are idle all day long. What else can you do except making some money? Don't use your filial piety to me as an excuse. Just do what you should do. Why are you surrounding me? I'm not old enough to need someone to serve me." Mr. Zheng said dissatisfiedly.

Zheng Huaming touched his nose: Judging from Grandfather's face and the vigor in his voice, he doesn't need anyone to serve him. But you resigned from your official position using poor health as an excuse and asked me to take care of you. Now you say I am not doing my job properly. How do you want me to respond?

Qi Xingyun: "Tang Yanshu wanted to be transferred out, and the term of office of the county magistrate of our Pingjiang County had expired, so there happened to be a vacancy. It's not a wealthy place, and people with connections don't want to come. So he just picked up Pingyi, who no one wanted."

Zheng Huaming: "We just happen to have new varieties of sweet potatoes and corn here. It would be a good idea to have him come here to practice and see if our Great Xia country's learned scholars can also talk about agriculture and sericulture."

They didn't avoid talking to Old Lady Yang and the others. Damao was fine, but Old Lady Yang was stunned.

She knew that Mr. Zheng was a great teacher, and Qi Dongjia and Zheng Huaming were businessmen, but even such people should be respectful when they met the county magistrate, right?

Why do they call Mr. Zheng and his men "kid" all the time? Are they very familiar with the new county magistrate?

Oh, this is incredible! That's the county magistrate. He is the most powerful person in the whole county, a local emperor.
