Chapter 397: This is an exotic
Daniel didn\'t see it yet, so he said curiously, "I don\'t know what they dug up, but unfortunately the place where I was hiding was too far to see clearly."
paused, and then said, "No wonder they have to break up with the fourth uncle and take back the yard. It turned out to be for the treasure hidden in the yard. Then this..."
Before Da Niu finished speaking, he saw Shu Yu crouched down and picked up a small black thing on the ground.
"What is this?" How did Ayu see something so dark and small? He had his eyes widened just now, and he couldn\'t see it.
Shu Yu picked up all three, put them in the palm of his hand, and said with a smile, "This is melon seeds."
"Melon seeds?" Big Niu frowned, "Don\'t melon seeds grow like this."
Shu Yu shook his head, "This is sunflower seed, it\'s different from what you\'ve seen before."
The melon seeds of this era are actually watermelon seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds have not appeared in Dasu Dynasty.
The sunflower seeds in her hands are obviously imported.
Imported products can really be called treasures for people from the Great Su Dynasty.
"These sunflower seeds are a good thing." Shu Yu remembered that in the late Qing Dynasty, the record of sunflower seeds was that "each catty is worth thirty or forty money, and the seeds can be used for oil extraction." ’
Thirty or forty coins, that\'s three or four taels of silver.
A pound of three or four taels, and sunflower seeds are quite weighty. If you plant too many, you won’t make hundreds or thousands of taels that day, and you will be sorry for this imported product.
Also, planting sunflowers can fertilize fields. After the stems are burned into ashes, they can be boiled with water to make alkali and used for soap.
Sunflowers can also extract oil, about 50 buckets of seeds can be harvested per mu of land, and each bucket can produce one liter of oil.
There are many sunflowers, and they can be regarded as scenic spots like the peach blossom forest in the county seat.
No, I can\'t think about it anymore, I can\'t control my fingers that are just about to move.
Shu Yu shook his head, exhaled, lowered his voice and said to Daniel, "This thing can be planted, I\'ll try to look at it later. Didn\'t Boss Yuan say he doesn\'t know this thing? It doesn\'t matter, I know it. Let\'s wait later. When he sells it in the county seat, he finds someone to buy it."
Daniel\'s eyes widened, "Is this really a baby?"
"Well, but we don\'t know many people here." No, it should be said that throughout the Great Su Dynasty, there may not be many people who know each other.
Daniel grinned, his family A Yu was really well-informed.
Shu Yu carefully put away the three sunflower seeds, "Okay, since we know how tricky this yard is, let\'s go."
"Um."
The two of them covered up the footprints next to the soil they had dug up, and then they climbed up the wall. They left the Yuan family\'s yard and quickly returned to Shangshi Village.
They were lucky. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, a few drops of rain cracked down on their heads.
Seeing the rain, Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "The rain came just in time, and our footprints were just washed away."
Although they covered it up a bit before they left, it was inconvenient to do it in the middle of the night. Who knows if the boss of the Yuan family and the others will see something strange when they pass by tomorrow.
Seeing the rain getting heavier and heavier, Shu Yu quickened his pace and started running.
"Brother Daniel, I\'ll go back first, and you should hurry home too. If you have something to do, wait until dawn."
