Mr. Bai held the bowl firmly and asked, "Is your wheat seed made of gold?"

Bai Erlang thought about it seriously and shook his head: "No."

Mr. Bai really wanted to slam the bowl in his face.

He put down the bowl and chopsticks, rubbed his forehead and said, "Forget it, I won't tell you. After dinner, you go find Shanbao and Manbao, and I'll tell them."

Bai Erlang took a big mouthful of rice unhappily. He had clearly promised that he would talk with Dad, and they would talk with Grandma Liu. Why should they also talk with Dad?

Mr. Bai glanced at his son and said seriously: "Erlang, Shanbao and Manbao are your senior brothers and sisters. From now on, don't call them by their names directly. You have to call them senior brothers and sisters, you know?"

Bai Erlang looked at his father with tears in his eyes.

Mr. Bai felt a little soft-hearted and said softly: "Even if you don't call me senior brother or sister, you can still call them by their nicknames. Shanbao is your cousin, and Manbao is younger than you, right?"

"Then I'll call them by their nicknames!" Bai Erlang made a quick decision, and then took advantage of the situation to sell their wheat seeds. "Dad, you won't suffer any loss when you buy our wheat seeds. We all went to the county grain store to see them today.

Well, their wheat seeds are sold for one hundred and forty-four cents a dou, and their wheat seeds are not as good as ours."

"How do you know you can't compare?"

"Of course I know it can't be compared. Our wheat seeds are bought from the grain store, right? But the seeds of our small farm are bought from the Manbao family. The highest one we have per acre is five stones, and the lowest one is also

Three and a half stones."

Mr. Bai's eyes widened and he couldn't help but sit up straight, "What are you talking about? What is your highest yield per mu?"

The sound was so loud that Bai Erlang almost fell off his chair in fright. Old Mrs. Bai, who had been eating quietly, couldn't help but glared at him and said: "Speak well and speak well. Why are you yelling at the child?"

When Mr. Bai was about to speak, Mrs. Bai suddenly said: "Okay, you are still scholars. You don't know how to eat without talking. You are not allowed to talk while eating. Please eat first."

Mr. Bai's breath was held in his chest, almost suffocating him to death.

He looked at his silly son and hesitated to speak, but under the glare of his old mother, he did not dare to speak anymore and could only lower his head and eat quickly.

Then as soon as he put down the bowls and chopsticks, he didn't care whether Bai Erlang was full or not, he just picked him up and went out, "Mom, Erlang is also full. I'm going to the school to test his homework."

Old Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai were unable to stop him, so they could only watch helplessly as he took the child away.

Mrs. Bai looked worried, so she said, "Okay, don't worry. It's a good thing to hear that. He won't beat the second son."

Bai Erlang also felt that his father would not beat him, so he followed him obediently.

Mr. Bai carried his son to the study, turned around and ordered the servants: "Go to the kitchen and ask someone to prepare some more food. Well, prepare more snacks, meat, and some sweet soup. Then go and invite Mr. Tang and Miss Man.

, just say that I have something to talk to them about."

After everyone left, Mr. Bai asked his son to sit on a chair and asked, "Come on, is your wheat really so productive?"

"Of course, we watched Bai Zhuangtou weigh it with three long-term workers, and we watched it go into the warehouse." Bai Erlang had already been settled by Bai Shanbao and Man Bao before. Those messy things

I just memorized a few simple figures, and then I realized a truth, "Dad, if you use our wheat seeds, the granary will be overflowing in one year, and the country will be extremely rich in two years."

Mr. Bai: "...Who taught you to say this?"

"No one taught me, I heard it from Man Bao."

When he heard that it was just bragging, he was a little worried, "Why haven't you learned all these things?"

"Who says I'm good but haven't learned yet? I know how to farm, can you? I can also read a scale, can you? I can also tie up grain bags with a rope, can you?"

Master Bai:......

It was dinner time now, and Man Bao naturally had dinner at home, but the old Zhou family was a little later than the Bai family, so as soon as she sat down at the table and picked up the bowls and chopsticks, the door opened.

was struck.

Big head ran to open the door.

The servant of the Bai family stood at the door and bowed, smiled to express his intrusion, and said: "Mr. Zhou, my master invites Miss Man to come over to discuss things."

Lao Zhoutou hesitated and said, "Let's go there after the child has had her supper. Then I'll ask her brothers to send her there."

"This..." The servant said, "Mr. Zhou, our master specially prepared meals for the three young masters. The young master should have passed by and is waiting for Miss Man..."

Lao Zhoutou immediately said: "Okay, you can take her there. She is young and if she is not sensible, you should take more care of her."

Then he turned back to Man Bao and said, "Don't eat it yet. I asked your sister-in-law to keep it for you. You go first to see what Master Bai has ordered."

Now Lao Zhou's family has divided two tables for dinner. Man Bao is the only child at this table. Hearing this, he put down the bowls and chopsticks he just picked up, turned around and left with his servants.

When Da Tou closed the door again, Lao Zhou Tou took some of the rice from the Man Bao bowl and gave it to his wife, and put the rest into his own bowl.

Xiao Qian, who was about to put it away:...

Old Zhou glanced at her and said, "How can the Bai family have less to eat from Man Bao?"

Qian glanced at him, handed Man Bao's egg custard to Zhou Lang, and said, "Take it for the five heads to eat."

Zhou Lang responded.

Lao Zhou's family started to eat.

When they arrived at Bai's house, Bai Shanbao had indeed arrived and was sitting at the table in the study eating. When he saw Man Bao, he waved to her.

Bai Erlang was not full to begin with, but seeing that the two of them ate deliciously, he sat down to eat too.

Mr. Bai happily sat aside and talked to them, "Shanbao, how much did you harvest from the twenty acres of wheat?"

"Not much, just eighty-three stones."

Master Bai did the math and his heart trembled slightly, "How did you plant it?"

"That's all."

Mr. Bai thought about it and felt that he couldn't ask this question, so he asked another question, "Who taught you how to farm?"

Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang looked at Manbao together.

Man Bao said: "My father!"

She said: "I want Bai Zhuangtou to grow what my family grows. If Bai Zhuangtou still doesn't understand, just ask my father, and my father will tell him."

Mr. Bai nodded, "That kind of thing..."

"The seeds are also mine."

"Where did you buy it?"

"I didn't buy it, I kept it at home," Man Bao said. "Last year, when there was a flood, only my wheat was the best, so the people in the village exchanged wheat seeds with my family. My father simply kept all the wheat from my family as seeds.

."

Man Bao knew what he was worried about, and explained carefully: "Later, we got a small farm and wanted to grow wheat on the small farm. I told my father and asked Mr. Bai Zhuangtou to buy wheat seeds from my house."

It's not much anyway, just about 400 kilograms of wheat seeds in total, which almost rounds up the remaining wheat.
