After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 599 Mao Yuan

The mayor expressed that he was very tired and wondered why all these children of the aristocratic families who came to the northwest were so arrogant.

I wonder if he can report to the court and have them sent back? It's really annoying.

"He is the real young master, and the peasant woman you are talking about is the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, and also the current Princess Zhenguo."

When the noble family heard this, they fell to the ground and said, "How, how is this possible?"

Xia Wanniang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him: "If you don't want to go without food and place to stay today, you can continue to sit on the ground." After that, she asked the villagers to pick the melons that had not been selected.

Then she picked up a ripe melon, cut it, asked someone to find a table, and put both melons on the table.

The contrast is even more obvious, it is more than three times smaller.

She found a knife and cut open the watermelon in front of her so that everyone could see what was inside.

The villagers heard the crisp sound when the watermelon was cut, and smelled the sweet scent of the watermelon, and felt that it was time to eat a bite of watermelon when the weather was hot.

Although they had never eaten it, it didn't stop them from drooling.

Xia Wanniang cut the watermelon into small pieces and let the villagers taste them one by one.

When the young man from the noble family saw that no one paid any attention to him, he got up dejectedly and came over to see what it was.

In fact, he had seen things in the ground before, but he had never seen them before. However, he could not act like he had never seen the world.

Xia Wanniang didn't care about him. As long as he didn't cause any trouble, she wouldn't take him seriously. After all, it was not easy to find someone to teach children in the northwest.

The mayor saw him coming closer and handed him a watermelon: "Try it."

Seeing that he was given a way out, the young man from the noble family took it with a smile and looked at the thing in his hand curiously: "Mayor, what is this?"

"Watermelon." Xiao Zilin said calmly, and then pointed to a field not far away: "Over there is Hami melon, and in front are potatoes and sweet potatoes."

"Thank you, young master." He put away his arrogance and thanked him sincerely.

Xiao Zilin didn't say anything else to him, but said to Xia Wanniang: "Mom, the taste is much worse."

The villagers all nodded: "It turns out that we still have to be willing to give it up!"

Xia Wanniang smiled and nodded: "Everything produced on this sandy land is the result of everyone's hard work, so each of you can pick some watermelons to take back."

The villagers looked at her in surprise: "Madam, are you just going to let us take it back like this?"

Xia Wanniang nodded and said, "I am the one who led you all to plant the melons this time. This is also the first crop of melons. The next two crops will require your own efforts. I will not come next year, I will just come to harvest the melons with you all."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the sandy land behind her and said, "I have already told the mayor about distributing these sandy lands equally to each household. If you need more land, you will need to buy it yourself."

"Thank you, ma'am." The villagers were so happy that they were about to jump up. This meant that they could make money.

The mayor looked at the fruits and vegetables on the ground with a smile and said, "Madam, can we harvest them now?"

Xia Wanniang nodded and said, "I have already notified the people from the escort agency. They will come back tomorrow to take the watermelons away."

The mayor nodded: "I didn't expect that such good fruits could be grown in these sandy lands."

Xia Wanniang was delayed again and missed the planting of cotton. She should have finished sowing by now: "Have you finished sowing the cotton field?"

Mayor: "Lord Xu went there personally, and it was completed last month. If Madam had gone there, she would have been able to see the buds sprout."

Xia Wanniang nodded: "That's pretty fast. We should be able to see the effects by September."

Mayor: "The area cultivated this time is still relatively small, and it will gradually increase next year."

Xia Wanniang: "Then we won't have to worry about people still wearing patched clothes and having no winter clothes."

The son of a noble family had been listening with his ears perked up. He felt that the melon in his hand was a little bitter. It turned out that this was what a real person who did things should do.

Their so-called pride is really the most useless thing here.

Xia Wanniang also picked a few watermelons for the mayor to take back for his family.

But the mayor was very happy: "Madam, this nobleman's name is Mao Yuan, you can arrange for him, I still have to go to other villages to arrange for other people."
