Red apricots make spring

Chapter 83
As expected, this trip was not in vain. From the old flower farmer, Wen Wen found tomatoes about four or five feet high, with stems like wormwood and leaves like mugwort. They were full of fruits, and they were full of red flowers from a distance.The old flower farmer said that this is called June persimmon. According to legend, the fruit is also poisonous and cannot be eaten, but it is the best for viewing. Plant a small plant in the yard, which is more beautiful than pomegranate.

Good-looking is good-looking, and the price is also very expensive. For such a tomato plant, he will pay one tael of silver, which is equivalent to fifteen hundred copper coins.After Gentle listened, his face, which was flushed like a tomato with excitement, immediately turned black.

It's not that she can't afford the price, the key question is, how many tomatoes can be grown in her small yard?What's the use if you can't plant them in large quantities after you buy them back?She wanted to use this tomato as an ingredient, not for viewing.

"What? Brother thinks it's expensive?" The old flower farmer wondered if it was because he had been tending flowers and plants for many years and had developed the habit of bending over. The man opened his loose-toothed mouth and said, "This is a rumor from outsiders. You can't find ten June persimmons in the whole city of Taihe!"

"Old man, can this thing be planted in large quantities?"

"Yes! But why do you plant so many? There are not many people who can afford it." The old flower farmer muttered a few words, seeing Rou Rou still standing there hesitating, he went to greet other guests first.

"You really want to buy it?" Ye Yu didn't understand what was going on in her mind.

"Tell me, how much money does it cost to buy an acre of fertile land?" Meek's thoughts had already turned to other places.

Ye Yu obviously couldn't adapt to her jumping thinking, he was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Six or seven taels of silver."

Ancient land is so cheap!But now she has to save money to open a shop, but she still can't afford it, and besides, she needs someone to buy the land, and there is no one at the moment.In the end, she had to sigh, and recruited the old flower farmer, negotiated the price, and finally agreed to buy the June persimmon plant for [-] yuan, but the prerequisite was that the old flower farmer must buy the pepper and June persimmon. Teach them how to cultivate carefully.

After returning home, Ye Yu tried his best to take care of these two gentle plants that were more precious than gold according to the method taught by the old flower farmer, but it was impossible to plant them in large quantities for the time being, so he could only keep them for now, so as not to let them get anything If the pests and diseases die, it is considered a success.

Rourou originally wanted to take some time to go to the villages in the outskirts, find an honest and loyal farmer, hand over the peppers and June persimmons to the farmers to cultivate, and wait for the fruits to grow, and then collect them all at a high price. I was busy with things and never found an opportunity, so I temporarily delayed this matter.

Suddenly a month passed, and on the sixth day of June, Wen Rou turned 15 years old, reaching the age of Jiji.Mother Wen insisted not to let her go out of the stall this day. She got up early in the morning and was busy buying and cooking vegetables. She said she wanted to celebrate for her. Mother Wen was kicked out of the kitchen and asked Xiaohuan to accompany her to have a good rest for a day.

"It's so boring!" Rourou sat in the bright hall with a chair, watching Ye Yu tending flowers and plants outside, the guy making rice dumplings, and Mother Wen was busy fetching water and washing vegetables with all her hands and feet.

"It's rare to rest for a day. If you don't rest early, why are you tired?" Xiaohuan smiled lightly, with a handkerchief embroidered in her hand.

"Toil hard, can't rest!"

This statement is half true and half false, Wenrou is naturally willing to eat and drink enough to be a rice worm, but there are not as many entertainment things in ancient times as in modern times, and you can neither play computer games nor chat with people on the Internet when you are free. As for TV and movies, there is nothing at all. Although there are singers in restaurants and theaters outside, but she is a layman.Girls who are not out of the cabinet can't walk around outside, so they have to avoid being coaxed by the flower lovers, oops, think about it, one head will become two big, it's better to be busy, that is, you don't have to think about it, and you don't feel bored up.

"How about we fight grass?" Xiaohuan suggested.

"Fighting grass? There are so many flowers and plants in our yard, what is there to fight?" Rourou lazily yawned.

"Untie Nine Chains?" Xiaohuan thought for a while and laughed again: "My son Wen just bought Nine Chains on the way back from school, and I haven't untied them yet."

As she said that, she took out the Nine Links, who knew Ruan took it in her hand and fiddled with it for a few times before untiing it, Xiaohuan yelled loudly, but Ruan still called it boring.Finally found a set of Go in Wen Gang's room, Rou Rou took it out and said, "Let's play chess!"

"I won't." Xiaohuan frowned.

"Let's play backgammon." Rou Rou said, placing a few pieces on the board and explaining how to play.

Xiaohuan is smart and quick-witted, and quickly learned it, but her backgammon skills are also very stinky. At the beginning, she can win a few times from Xiaohuan, but in the end, she loses more and wins less.She lost a few games in a row, unconvinced, and betting that she would win three games in a row. She was counting Xiaohuan's chess pieces carefully with her eyes wide open, when she heard someone outside talking and laughing all the way in, she didn't care, and just picked it up A sunspot blocked the four faintly connected white stones of Xiaohuan, he laughed and said, "You were almost blinded by it!"

Xiaohuan's mind was not on the chess at the moment, seeing someone walking outside, she quickly dropped the chess piece and stood up, lowered her head, gave a salute, and greeted softly: "Mr. Xu."

Mr. Xu?Wen Rou was startled, raised his head, and saw three people standing at the entrance of the hall, one was Mother Wen who was smiling and greeting, the other was Wen Gang who came back from school, the man in the middle had a long face and a mustache, and looked about In his thirties, who is not Wen Gang's husband, Xu Xiucai?
Wenrou was very annoyed, hated that Mama Wen invited people to the house without even saying hello, but it was inconvenient to have an attack in front of outsiders, so she had to hold back for a while, and with a thought, she respected the ancient rules of incompatibility between men and women , pulling Xiaohuan to prepare to enter the room to escape.

Mother Wen hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Small households don't pay much attention. Besides, Mr. Xu is not an outsider. You sit with me. I'll finish the remaining two dishes, and we'll have dinner."

Are you an outsider or an insider?Besides, is there any mother who acts like this?What does it mean to let them sit with you?It's not a Goulan brothel, customers have to sit with them when they come to the door!Wenrou was so angry that she almost cursed, but it was Xiaohuan who squeezed her hand hard to calm her down a little, but her face was also livid and ugly.

Wen Gang has gained a little understanding of human affairs recently. Seeing his sister's angry appearance, he immediately guessed that there must be something else about his mother asking him to invite Mr. Xu home for dinner. In my heart, I complained that my mother was reckless, and while I was busy pouring tea to greet my husband, I temporarily relieved the embarrassing atmosphere.
