The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 223: Ginseng fruit?

Views:

Soon in early summer, Shuangyi began to harvest the first batch of fruits and vegetables at his estate in Puguanze. Her family built houses on those fertile fields, and hired reliable tenants to cultivate them, and the price was very generous. Thinking that the weather is good, I can still live there and enjoy the pastoral joy.

Yunyan went back to Puguanze with the family to play, and by the way, he played in the manor.

Apart from Zheng Ping and his wife, Shuangyi and his wife and Little Tiger, Yun Yanhui only brought Zhao Yunchu with him. No one else had any doubts, only Shen Kuo looked suspicious at the staffing.

Shuang Yi only said that he thought too much. From childhood to adulthood, Zheng Ling and Zhao Yunchu often participated in whatever activities their family was engaged in. This time Zheng Ling was also coming, but he had something to do, so he was two days late.

Shen Kuo wondered whether Zheng Ling and Zhao Yunchu were the same, Zheng Ling was still a cousin anyway, but he didn't continue to talk because Shuangyi didn't seem interested.

Knowing that the host's family was coming, Zhuangtou, who was selected from the tenants, cleaned up the house in advance. When it was built, he took into account the large number of relatives and friends in his family, so the room was very spacious.

The manor is surrounded by walls, and there is a sign of Tao Zhiyao at the gate. After entering, there is a very long corridor full of melons.

The melon vines climbed the entire corridor along the shelves one by one, and decorated it in green. Occasionally, you can see light yellow flowers, and more are large and small loofah.

Through the gap between the vines and leaves, you can see rows of fruits and vegetables planted in the fields on both sides, fresh and pleasant.

As soon as you enter the door, you can feel that this place is both idyllic and full of unique taste, which is not elegant.

Shuang Yi said happily: "The last time I came, it was just a bare shelf, but now that it has grown, it really looks good."

"I've been growing crops for so many years, and this is the first time I've discovered that I can still grow melons like this." Zhuangtou said with admiration, "You said earlier that you would build a corridor, but I'm still thinking, wouldn't it be nondescript to do this in the field? This one is good, it's beautiful and realistic, just pick a few to make scrambled eggs with loofah at noon?"

"That's right." Shuang Yi smiled back at Yunyan without saying anything.

Yunyan had been holding the little tiger on the road, and was a little tired. Now he changed hands to Zhao Yunchu. In order to call the little tiger willingly, Zhao Yunchu drove him to his shoulders to "ride a high horse".

Because Zhao Yunchu was already tall, the little old man was on his shoulders, and he was very happy when he passed the loofah corridor. From time to time, he tilted his head to avoid the long hanging loofah, or reached out to fiddle with the leaves.

When the luggage was to be put away, the little tiger naturally wanted to sleep in the same room with Yunyan, so it was easy to take care of him, but his guards didn't come with him.

With so many rooms, Zhao Yunchu couldn't have the cheek to squeeze with them, so he had to live nearby.

At noon, I ate a simple meal of local vegetables. The vegetables are all ready-made. Here, near the water source, the vegetables grown here are very sweet. Because the little tiger had not been to Puguanze yet, Yunyan took him to the Puguanze Garden to have some fun.

Most of the staff in the amusement park are familiar to Yun Yanhui. Yun Yanhui put the little tiger in the children's playground and wanted to find Kong Ji.

There was no performance in the afternoon, Kong Ji was playing his exclusive Three Kingdoms new play.

Although there is no Yunyan back to be the art director this time, Kong Ji has learned a lot, attaches great importance to costumes and props, and is asking artists to try on armor. Seeing Yunyan coming back, Kong Ji excitedly asked someone to sing a cappella for Yunyan to listen to.

Yun Yan returned her palms and said, "The aftermath of "Wang Qingyu" has not disappeared, and another "Three Kingdoms" is coming out, which is also a trend of great popularity."

Kong Ji could not wait to ask Yun Yan to listen to the complete version and show him his revised script. The entire script was handwritten.

After the two chatted for a while, Yun Yan replied that there were still children at home waiting, so she went back to watch the play with her family, and went to find the little tiger.

As soon as he went to the children's park to search, the little tiger was sitting on a chair and playing tangrams. There were three children around him, and he didn't dare to get too close, but he only talked from time to time, but unfortunately the little tiger was very indifferent.

Yun Yanhui walked closer, and the little tiger changed his face when he saw him, smiled, and came over to hold his hand, "Brother Yan, let's go to the slide together."

"Wait," Yun Yan looked back at the children, always feeling a little familiar, as if she had seen the little tiger when she went to pick up the little tiger, "These are your classmates, don't you want to introduce me to my brother?"

The little tiger lowered his head depressedly, and after a long while he reluctantly said, "This is Qiu Dafu... and his younger brother and cousin... are also our classmates."

They are all classmates, so you only remember one name? Yun Yan was a little speechless.

After Yun Yanhui taught the little tiger, he stopped beating people, but he couldn't always greet people with a smile like Yun Yanhui did for a while. Fortunately, it is said that other classmates worship the little tiger even more...

Qiu Dafu is one of them. He and his younger brothers politely greeted the older brothers of classmates, and also took the initiative to apply to go to the slides together.

Yun Yanhui naturally said that he brought the children to play together. After asking, he also knew that Qiu Dafu's family also came to Puguanze for vacation and stayed in the hotel in the garden. The hotels in this scenic spot are much more expensive than the homestays, and the general consumption is from wealthy people.

Qiu Dafu invited the little tiger and his brother to live together at their residence. The little tiger said disdainfully, "I won't go, we live at my sister's house."

"We live in a nearby village, and it's very fun. We have grown a lot of fruit, so you can come and play." Yun Yan replied with a smile, "If you don't have time, I'll ask Little Tiger to bring you some food when we meet next time. ."

Qiu Dafu nodded shyly, "Then I will also bring the cakes made by my mother for you to eat."

After leaving the garden, Yun Yanhui was still saying to the little tiger, "How polite the students of the Qiu family are, especially Dafu, you have to be gentle with others."

Little Tiger said confidently: "So many classmates treat me like this, I want to be gentle one by one, how tired!"

Yunyan replied: "..."

Little Tiger: "I am troubled, everyone is pestering me! I also learned to laugh from my brother, but I got tired of laughing after a while, so now I am smiling at people for a certain period of time every day!"

Yunyan replied: "..."

When Yun Yanhui heard the little tiger's arrangement for her, she was a little messy. But since his classmates didn't know why, they still liked it, so Yun Yanhui couldn't persuade him.

When they returned to the manor, everyone was sitting around the root carving table, admiring the freshly picked melons and apples in the basket.

Why use the word "appreciation"? Because these melons turned out to be naive dolls, and there are natural words on the apples, such as "Fu", "Lu", "Shou", "囍" and so on.

When Zheng Ping saw Yun Yan returning, she held up a melon in her hand, "Brother Yan, I thought the 'ginseng fruit' you were talking about was at most a doll, but who would have known it would be so delicate?"

Zhuang Tou also followed Da Quat and praised, and he has been planting for so many years, and he has never seen such a method. He couldn't be more satisfied with the master's family. With such a method, he taught them how much trust this is, not to mention how generous the treatment is.

Shuang Yi also said: "I really can't bear to eat such a small baby."

Yun Yan didn't have so many obstacles in returning, so he broke open a melon and took a bite, "Well, it's not bad, it's very sweet, it's grown really well... This is a melon that grows out of a mold, ginseng fruit will deceive customers at that time, you guys Don't be deceived yourself."

Zheng Ping was speechless for a while, "Cheat..."

"Okay, I'll be more subtle," Yun Yan replied. "Doing marketing and advertising. Why don't you eat?"

Everyone was appreciating it originally, but Yun Yan took such a bite first, breaking the atmosphere, and then everyone started.

The little tiger also held a doll-like melon and said innocently: "I think this looks like Brother Yan."

"Where does it look like me? It's obviously like you." Yun Yan made a joke back, and everyone laughed together. Isn't this the same thing

Zhuang Tou said: "Miss, Langjun, these dishes are about to be cooked one after another, when will they be sold? I heard that the Tokyo Daily can publish the news that the sale of chicken and duck is free, we can go there! Maybe, it's on!"

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

The "Tokyo Daily" did issue rules to help poor peasants who could not sell agricultural products for free, and to publish sales information to find sales channels. Although Tao Zhiyao obviously did not meet the conditions, Zhuangtou obviously wanted to hit his luck, maybe he might get a free advertising space.

Zhuangtou had been living in the suburbs outside the city, and obviously he didn't know much about the host's family, so he would say such naive words.

Yun Yan jokingly replied, "If we really went to the Tokyo Daily, we wouldn't have to be chased out by Hu Weng with a broom, and we had to make fun of him because I was there."

Shuang Yi also smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if you don't advertise in the "Tokyo Daily", our items will definitely be sold out."

"That will definitely be the case! In this whole world, where can there be such a melon... No, ginseng fruit!" Zhuang Tou is very proud, after all, he also planted it, "But if there is any advantage, don't take advantage of it!" In the middle, I feel a little bit of the feeling that the rich people in the city are wasting.

Shen Kuo joked: "Don't worry, if it's really cheap, we didn't react, and Brother Yan must have seized it first - Brother Yan and the people from "Tokyo Daily" have a good relationship."

"Wouldn't that make it even better to use advertisements?" Zhuang Tou was overjoyed.

"You also said that there are no such ginseng fruits all over the world, so can we still squat on advertising space?" Shuang Yi said to Zhuang Tou, "When the time comes, we will invite the reporter from the "Tokyo Daily" to come and interview. A rare ginseng fruit, will you come for an interview then?"

Zhuang Tou's eyes widened and he waved his hand, "Me? I can't do it, I can't do it, ma'am, stop joking, I'm almost on the toilet, how can I get a newspaper!"

Shuang Yi: "Why not, you are in charge of these fruits and vegetables. If you are not asked to be interviewed, who will accept them?"

"That should be a few lords too - I'm just, just do it!" Zhuang Tou blushed and stammered, "I, I'm not going... I can't speak..." He said, He walked away crookedly and fled, "I'm going to feed the chickens!"

After Zhuangtou left, Zhao Yunchu held an apple and weighed it in his hand: "Well... I know what to do, I want to send a batch to the palace and then talk about it!"

"Hey, you sound like I'm taking advantage." Yun Yan whispered back, "However, Cunzhong and I did prepare a batch of apples like 'Long Live' and 'Jiangshan Yonggu'..."

Everyone: "… "

Shuang Yi held back a smile and said, "Yes, yes, it's very necessary."

Yun Yanhui still remembered the agreement with the Qiu family's children. He picked up a few more melons and packed them in boxes. The next day, when everyone went to Puguanze to watch the play together, they sent someone to the hotel to deliver them to the Qiu family.

Qiu Dafu and his younger brothers were very happy when they heard that they were melons and fruits from Shi Gaobi and his brother. They also packed a box of cakes and asked them to take them back.

Qiu's mother saw that her son and nephew returned the gift to the little friend in a proper manner, and thought it was very interesting, and asked a few questions about who the other party belonged to.

Hearing that the children answered that they were the children of the Tusi family in Guizhou who often came first in the exams, Mother Qiu was very satisfied and told them to learn more from their classmates. I know that I also value friendship very much, so be sure to taste it!

As she said that, Mother Qiu opened one of the boxes, intending to wash the children and cut them to eat. Who would have guessed that as soon as she opened it, she would see a melon like a fat doll the size of a palm. Frightened, "Yeah!"

Qiu Dafu and his younger brothers widened their eyes, and then you looked at me and I looked at you, and said a little excitedly: "Auntie, is this melon essence?!"
