Chapter 464 (2/2)
”No, it's my gift to Joel. She must like this kind of thing. Besides, just plant it according to what I say. As for whether it looks good or bad at that time, you can take care of it with your heart. I'll compensate you for any strange things you receive at that time. In short, it won't make you hungry. Please rest assured 。”
”Well ~ since the housekeeper said so, we'll follow your instructions. But the contract must be changed. Don't worry about us asking for food at that time. We can't take it out again.”
”Jiabao, if you change the contract for them, do as I say. But I can say the ugly words ahead. If anyone doesn't pay attention, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing others.” Tian Dahe said with a straight face.
The yellow hair over there was originally a businessman from abroad. Unexpectedly, he met a pirate on the way. As a result, he robbed all the valuable antiques he brought. Now there are only so few seeds left. They are still intact and have not been soaked in water.
But the seeds he brought here have never been seen in this place. Everyone has a family to support, so no one dares to try something they haven't seen. After all, this affects a whole year's hard work and harvest. If it's not done well, we have to pay the owner, and if we don't do well, we will starve to death.
This era is so cruel, low productivity, poor seed quality and low grain yield. So no one dares to try new things unless they have to.
However, Tian Dahe doesn't care so much. Now he knows how many people there are at home. As long as there is no problem with the rice there, even if there is no harvest, these dry lands won't make everyone hungry.
After all, he is a man who has suffered. He knows how important grain is to the farmer's family. As long as we ensure that the rice there can have a normal yield, these tenants here will not starve. Even if they can't pay the rent, they can't watch them starve.
When the foreign businessman saw that Tian Dahe was willing to accept his seeds, he jumped up with joy. He directly took Tian Dahe and Chen Jiabao to the place where he now lives, and then handed over all the seeds of the two carts to Tian Dahe.
After some bargaining, Tian Dahe finally spent 200 liang of silver to buy all the seeds brought by the foreign merchant.
These seeds are enough to cover the 500 mu dry land, most of which are species he has never seen. There are some seeds that seem to be fruit trees, because outside each bag of seeds, there is a cloth picture on which the seed looks like when it grows up.
Tian Dahe took people, took out a few seeds of each kind, and then wrapped them in paper.
”Jiabao, go back first and show these seeds to Joel and them. If you can, some seeds can be planted on the mountain over there.”
”OK, housekeeper, I'll clean up and get ready to go back. It seems that there are hundreds of seeds. If they are all planted in the dry field, it's estimated that there are still many left. It's good to plant some on the mountain over there. It depends on what madam and miss say.”
After Chen Jiabao left, Tian Dahe was not idle. He made a field in the village where he lived and planted three or five seeds.
He collected the seeds of things that looked like flowers in a separate room, and planned to find a gardener to study them at that time.
