Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 225 Buying Land

"Well, turn around the corridor in front, go straight for a while, and you will arrive. I have something to go back to deal with in this herbal hall, please feel free, Junior Sister."

Zhou Huaiyan stopped suddenly, turned around and said to Chunqiu with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Huh?" Chunqiu looked up, looked at the arched stone gate not far away, and said hurriedly, "Thank you, brother, I have something to do, go back quickly." Because of the wrong words before, Chunqiu's expression and actions are not the same as before So lively, it looks a little preoccupied.

"Hehe, Junior Sister, there is no need to be sad. This matter has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to blame yourself..." Zhou Huaiyan didn't know the reason for Chunqiu's self-blame, so he sighed helplessly, turned and left.

……

When Chunqiu came back, he was obviously depressed, and Yang Chunming, who was on the side, was still worried for a while.

Chunqiu naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he had to make up an excuse to cover up.

Fortunately, Yang Chunming's focus was not on Chunqiu's side, and he didn't pursue Chunqiu's excuses after hearing Chunqiu's excuses, which made Chunqiu heave a sigh of relief.

Several people ate the noon vegetarian meal in Peach Blossom Temple before leaving slowly.

In this test, Yang Chunming and Yuan Rui performed very well, and they entered the first-class position one after another. Although they are not as eye-catching as the top three in the test, they have gained a lot of popularity in Linfang, especially the two The man's personable demeanor and outstanding temperament have attracted many ladies' hearts and secret glances.

Since her second brother came back, the business of their shop has also boomed, and there are many young ladies wearing gauze.

What's more, they actually sent a matchmaker to come to propose a marriage, which made Yuan Shi a little unprepared, especially since there were several good ladies here. After discussing with Yang Chunming, Yuan Shi finally refused the blind date on the grounds of the palace examination. Although her mother, Yuan Shi, seemed unmoved on the surface, in fact, her mother secretly complained about her second brother several times in private, and missed so many good girls.

But her second brother still read books and visited friends. No, the county school started, and her second brother went to prepare for the next year's palace examination.

Her mother can't catch people, and she doesn't do anything substantive except for complaining in her spare time.

Chunqiu didn't have much opinion on this, now that the ointment in the prescription has been made, Chunqiu took the trouble to add some fresh flower petals to it for flavoring, even if she was satisfied, she even took it to ask her mother Yuan Shi and others Opinions, until everyone is satisfied is considered the final result.

For the prescription that Zhou Huaiyan had mentioned before, Chunqiu found some time and went to the herbal hall again.

Hand over all the final prescriptions determined in his hands to Zhou Huaiyan, "Brother, this is the prescription"

"Well, I'll bring it back to you when Dad sees nothing serious." Zhou Huaiyan put Fangzi into his arms.

Chunqiu is very grateful for this. In this regard, Zhou Huaiyan has indeed helped her a lot. Chunqiu is also grateful to Zhou Huaiyan, and his tone of speech is more serious than before. "I hope that brother will take care of you."

"You must live up to the entrustment of your junior sister"

Zhou Huaiyan nodded with a deep and powerful voice.

After talking about the prescription in front of her, Chunqiu bid farewell. It is now April, and if there is no accident, the "Beauty Pavilion" will open in three months. Chunqiu still has a lot of preparations to do, so she decides to speed up pace.

That's right, Chunqiu decided to name the shop "Beauty Beauty Pavilion" after much deliberation. This is not only simple and clear, but also coincides with the theme. Anyway, it is equivalent to selling "cosmetics" in later generations. It can also be called "Beauty Beauty Pavilion" ah.

Of course, this name only existed in Chunqiu's mind, no one knew about it, even her mother, Yuan Shi, Chunqiu didn't tell, she had already made preparations to say it.

Going back to the shop, I agreed with her mother that I would go to the nearby villages of Linfang to buy some land tomorrow. After all, once this ointment is made, the petals needed are innumerable. Planning to grow some by myself can be regarded as an indirect saving of manpower and material resources.

Although the land deed needs to be purchased from the government, Chunqiu still has to investigate it in advance.

After all, there is not much land suitable for planting flowers and plants. What if the government cheats me and buys a whole mountain?Chunqiu was afraid that he would have no place to cry when the time came.

To be on the safe side, Chunqiu decided to make a private visit first, and finally bought it after dealing with the government.

On the morning of the second day, Chunqiu was wearing a light blue floral spring shirt, followed by her father Yang Weibo, and the father and daughter walked out of the city along the South Road.

Walking on the path in the forest, Chunqiu hummed a song, gestured with his fingers back and forth, and kept looking at the fertile fields around him, looking for the place he thought was most suitable for planting flowers.

Yang Weibo carried a basket on his back, and followed Chunqiu step by step, his eyes fixed on the girl in front of him, afraid that if he didn't pay attention, the girl would run away without a trace.

Before leaving, Yuan Shiqian reminded her that nothing else was important, she must be careful with her daughter, and if her daughter got into trouble again, he didn't have to go back.

Thinking of this, Yang Weibo touched his deaf ears guiltily, and he still thought of his daughter-in-law's penetrating voice in his ears.

"Qiu'er, are you tired? Let's take a rest before we go. There is a small river in front of us. Daddy will grill fish for you." Yang Weibo's eyesight was excellent, and he saw the girl's slower and slower steps in front of her and tears on both sides of her cheeks. With sweat dripping down, he hurried over and bowed his head, smiled flatteringly, and offered a few suggestions along the way.

Chunqiu turned her head, while wiping the sweat that rolled down her forehead with her hand, she listened to her father's words.

Looking up at the shining sun in the sky, Chunqiu nodded in agreement with her father's words.

It's okay if her father didn't say it, but when she said it, she really felt a little hungry. When she came out in the morning, Chunqiu didn't eat a few bites of food. Now that she has walked such a long way, her stomach is indeed a bit empty.

"Hey, Qiu'er, hurry up and rest in the shade over there, Dad will catch fish for you right away." Yang Weibo said with a smile, then turned around and ran to the river with a basket on his back.

Chunqiu glanced at her father, turned around and went to the side under the shade of a tree.

The river was not deep, just below her father's knees, Chunqiu sat aside, watching her father put down his back pan, took out the harpoon from the back pan, rolled up his trousers, and went down the river.

I saw her father "search" a few times, and one after another alive and kicking fish appeared on the harpoon. Yang Weibo threw all the fish ashore with a smile, and caught five or six fish that were about the size of a palm. Just ready to go ashore.

There are still flints and firewood in the back basket, which can be picked up from the surrounding woods. Chunqiu hurriedly got up and went to the side to collect firewood. .

The fish was put on a wooden stick and placed obliquely next to the fire. Chunqiu hated the heat beside the fire, put down the firewood, and hid in a shaded place aside. When the smell of the fish wafted, Chunqiu went over to eat it. Yang Weibai grilled it The fish was passed to Chunqiu, and the father and daughter ate a delicious meal of grilled fish before continuing on the road.
