Chapter 7: The Golden Apple

On the way home, Nie Tianming thought a lot, but he still couldn't make up his mind after all.

The secret of the Spirit Gathering Bottle must not be revealed, but it is necessary to take care of Director Qin's face, which makes people in a dilemma.

After thinking about it, Nie Tianming still planned to go home and discuss it with his parents, he couldn't make his own decisions.

At the noon dinner table, Nie Tianming told him about meeting Qin Lianhai in the morning market.

"The director of the county agricultural bureau? This is not a petty official, and we must not offend. ”

Nie Mu knew the stakes and said to Nie Tianming worriedly.

"You haven't offended people, you haven't opened the door since you were a child, but you don't dare to throw face at others. ”

Seeing his mother's worried expression, Nie Tianming was very helpless and explained: "How can I be, I'm not stupid, it's just that I didn't agree immediately, so I didn't think about coming back to discuss it with your second elder." ”

Father Nie took a deep breath and said, "It's strange to say, this year's iron stick yam is indeed growing better than in previous years, but we are all the same species as other people's families, how can there be any special varieties, could it be that it is really mutated?"

Nie's father, who was kept in the dark, always thought that it was because of his own good land that the yam would mutate.

"Do you think there's something buried in the ground of our house? Maybe there's an antique?"

Hearing her father talk about mutation, Nie's mother used her imagination and tried her best to fantasize that there were antiques in the ground at home, and she wanted to make a fortune from antiques.

"I watched the news a few days ago and said that Cao Cao's tomb is fake, do you think it is possible that it is really under our ground?"

"Our Taizu Mountain Feng Shui is so good, it is very likely that Cao Cao is buried in us. ”

Nie Tianming patted his head, no wonder he always likes to daydream, it seems that it is inherited by the second elder.

"Mom and Dad, let's put Cao Cao aside first, how should I reply to Director Qin. ”

Put the note with Director Qin's phone number on the table, and the three members of the Nie family gathered in a circle.

"What did he say when he called you?" asked Daddy Nie.

He didn't say anything, he said he had something to call him. ”

"Gone?"

"It's gone. ”

Nie's mother Zhang Lanjuan slapped her thigh and said, "That's right, that's right." ”

"What's right, what do you know?" Nie's father looked disgusted.

The quarrel between the old husband and wife, Nie Tianming can't intervene at all, otherwise the war will burn on him.

"He said that you should contact him when there is something, we are ordinary people, how can anything interfere with the director. ”

After a slight pause, Nie's mother said again: "I must want us to ask him for something, but the only thing that may happen to us is to go to the county seat to sell vegetables and be caught by the city management, and then he will have a favor again." ”

After analyzing it, Nie Tianming scoffed at his mother's conspiracy theories.

"Director Qin is a doer, how can there be those fancy intestines you said, when I first saw him, I thought he was the same as us, a banker. ”

Nie Tianming recalled that when Qin Lianhai talked about promoting special yams and leading everyone to get rich, he felt that he was not the kind of official who had a vegetarian meal.

"You're still a child, do you know or do I understand? Tomorrow let your dad go to the county seat to sell yams, and you won't go. ”

"Huh?"

Nie Laopa, who was lying on the sofa just after eating, suddenly raised his head and put down the "300 Parenting Rules" that Nie Tianming bought from the county bookstore.

Hearing Nie's mother's orders, Nie's father could only obediently obey, after all, as long as there was a potential risk, it was Lao Tzu who rushed ahead first.

"Ding~" [System Prompt]: Family harmony, filial piety +5.

Nie Tianming was powerless to complain about the information from the ancestral system, it turned out that the pit father was also considered a family harmony.

After thinking about it again, Director Qin is not really like the person in his mother's mouth, and Nie Tianming's heart feels a lot better.

"There are still a lot of yams in our field that have not been planed, waiting for us to leave some more for that Director Qin, just cut them into sections and plant them, but don't be in a hurry to call back. ”

It's still my mother who thinks about it thoroughly, Director Qin's problem is perfectly solved, and the means are reasonable, and both sides are not embarrassed.

"Dad, in the afternoon, you go to the field to plow yams, and I'll go to the orchard to see if I can have a good harvest this year. ”

My mother took care of the housework at home, and after the sun began to turn westward and was not so vicious, Nie Tianming and his son went out to the mountain together.

Nie Tianming's apple orchard, located on the mountainside, has a bungalow made of red brick cement, which usually does not live in people, but when the fruit trees are ripe and picked, Nie's father will come to live for a few days.

The purpose of building a bungalow is, firstly, to save foot effort and facilitate overnight rest, and secondly, to prevent people from stealing a large area.

Just as he was about to take out the key to unlock it, before he entered the garden, Nie Tianming heard the cry of a small flower.

Nie Tianming smiled knowingly, it seemed that although he didn't come often, Xiaohua hadn't forgotten himself.

Xiaohua is an authentic local dog string, in order to be with her father in the orchard, her mother used a bag of salt to beg from someone else's house, and her name was also taken by her mother.

Most of the local dogs in the village do not have too formal names, the ones with black hair are called Xiaohei Dahei, and the hairy ones are called Xiaohuang Da Hei.

Xiaohua is naturally because the coat color is too mixed, and her mother makes up the name casually.

It has only been brought to the orchard in the last few days, and in normal times, Xiaohua and Wheeze, two creatures with a huge disparity in size, have been loving and killing each other at home.

Although Xiaohua's name is Niang, she is a real male dog, and she is also a little colored dog.

The watchdogs of many people in Nanquan Village are flowing with the blood of Xiaohua.

After pulling the little flower, the first thing Nie Tianming did was to find out if there were any ticks on its body, this kind of blood-sucking thing was something that Nie Tianming hated, and even hated it more than fleas and mosquitoes.

There is no problem with being healthy, Nie Tianming loosened the rope, patted Xiaohua's buttocks, and let it have fun in the orchard, and he was going to do big things.

In his own apple orchard, the largest variety is Golden Shuai, and the remaining small part is Red Fuji.

As for the orchard, there are many varieties such as pear trees, walnut trees, and plum trees, which are all grown for home-eaten, saving money and going out to buy them.

Taking out the spirit gathering bottle, facing the orchard of nearly ten acres of land, Nie Tianming was full of confidence, he really made a fortune this year.

Nie Tianming tilted the mouth of the Spirit Gathering Bottle slightly, cautiously trying to drip a drop.

Xiaohua, who didn't want to be naughty, saw Nie Tianming squatting on the ground, jumped up violently, and pounced on him.

Originally, Nie Tianming used two fingers to take it virtually, but when Xiaohua made a fuss, the spirit gathering bottle fell to the ground suddenly.

"It's broken!"

Worried that the spring water in the spirit gathering bottle would be spilled, Nie Tianming was about to pick it up, but found that the spirit gathering spring water flowing from the mouth of the small bottle seemed to be endless, not at all like only a few drops.

Nie Tianming patted his head, and then remembered what the old ancestor said to him at that time.

This spirit gathering bottle contains a spring of spirit gathering spring, which is naturally inexhaustible.

And it is comparable to the jade net bottle in the hands of Guanyin Master, you must know that when Sun Wukong stole ginseng fruit in Wuzhuang Guan and overturned the ginseng fruit tree of Zhenyuan Daxian, it was Guanyin Master who used the jade net bottle to bring the ginseng fruit tree back to life.

"It's a good baby, and it can't be wasted. ”

A few days ago, only one drop was used in the yam field, and two acres of ordinary iron stick yam became the best yam.

was messed with by Xiaohua just now, and at least a dozen drops of Gathering Spirit Spring Water flowed out of the bottle, which should be enough.

Neatly picked up the spirit bottle and covered it with a stopper, Nie Tianming rubbed Xiaohua's dog head vigorously.

"Let you make trouble again~"

Xiaohua thought that the little master was playing with her, and stretched out her tongue to lick Nie Tianming's face, and Nie Tianming was licked and giggled.

When he came back to his senses, Nie Tianming found that all the apples that were originally green and yellow had turned into real golden yellow!

The origin of "Golden Marshal" is named because of its color, and now it seems that the apples planted before were all small soldiers, and now it is the real Golden Marshal!

There is not a trace of variegation on the golden fruit, not even the usual brown rust spots.

Each apple glows golden under the sun's rays, as if it has been coated with a layer of gold leaf.

The size of the apple was also at least three times larger than before, and Nie Tianming stretched out his hand to measure it, one hand could hold an apple.

Nie Tianming picked one casually, sniffed it with his nose, and a refreshing aroma entered his body from his throat and went straight to his brain.

The fluttering feeling of enjoyment made him forget everything for a while.

The mind is blank, and the feeling of completely relaxing the mind is like getting a good night's sleep, which makes people feel happy.

Slowly opening his eyes, Nie Tianming rubbed the golden handsome in his hand, and couldn't help but bite down.

Originally, the golden and handsome varieties were famous for their fragrance and soft flesh.

At this time, the apple in the mouth is like biting into a handful of marshmallows, soft and sweet, and it melts away as soon as it comes into contact with the teeth.

The melt-in-your-mouth Golden Shuai does not have a sweet and greasy taste, on the contrary, but has a rustling and cool texture, which does not make people feel greasy.

As his throat stirred, the fruity fragrance entered his body from his nose and throat at the same time, and Nie Tianming felt dizzy in the back of his head, and the feeling of refreshment was comparable to that of his own hand.

"Whew~"

Nie Tianming exhaled relaxedly, and that breath also carried a rich fruity aroma, which surprised him.

Could it be because the Gathering Spirit Spring Water is used too much?

Facing the handsome golden apple that was full of fragrance and shining gold, Nie Tianming was like being poor for a long time, a little busy and at a loss.

These apples must not be sold to rural dealers as in previous years.

But such a dazzling apple must not be kept for a long time, otherwise it will attract envy or thieves, and the year's hard work will be in vain.

After all, the bungalows in the orchard are not built for nothing, and the orchards in the mountains will be stolen every time they are ripe.

But this kind of apple is not like the red Fuji in other orchards, which can be preserved for a long time.

If the ripening period is delayed for too long, these apples will rot and spoil.

After thinking about it, Nie Tianming clarified several directions.

Apples are no better than yams, and the production of apples is too large to go to the market or set up a stall in the county.

Those that can buy in large quantities and can give high prices are only supermarkets and restaurants.

After making up his mind, Nie Tianming stuffed the remaining half of the apple in his hand into his mouth, and was satisfied.

At this time, Nie Tianming didn't notice that Xiaohua was licking something at the place where the Spirit Gathering Bottle had just fallen.
