Of course, there is. Your grandfather and my grandfather's big study did not have several editions of "Dream of the Red Chamber", and there were manuscripts with only a few chapters.

Qin Shuangshuang didn't think that his cousin didn't know this. After all, the little cousin rarely returns to Hong Kong City, but the brothers Qin Qingtai and Qin Qingping go back once a year.

Although it is not a long time to stay every year, who made this a boy. Her grandfather still values his children very much, and he is afraid that his children and grandchildren who have lived overseas for a long time will forget their ancestors.

Why is her mother's daughter the most favored among her siblings? It is because her mother is well aware of her grandfather's concerns, and every year she does not forget to let people collect some wandering antiques and send them to her old father.

In fact, those antiques are not necessarily very valuable. Occasionally, a small bowl with incomplete quality can also make her grandfather so relieved that he didn't hurt this daughter in vain.

But Qin Shuangshuang didn't want to mention these words in front of her second uncle's house, and in front of her second aunt. said that, didn't she become her surrogate mother "instructing" the elders.

It's the same thing for an uncle to be a pro-uncle, and it's another thing for an aunt. In front of Jin Sha, Qin Shuangshuang didn't dare to be rude because he didn't think the other party was kind. As for what is the relationship between this rice and "Dream of Red Mansions"?

At the same time as Qin Shuangshuang nodded, she roughly recalled the general plot of the book, and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God!

"Yes!" Qin Qingping laughed, "It's one of the chapters in the book where Jia Baoyu was coaxed by his Aunt Xue to eat half a bowl of japonica rice." ”

Qin Lao Er laughed and patted his son on the back: "Don't listen to your cousin's nonsense, it's not so exaggerated, it's just a color of rice." ”

"No, it's not ......" Qin Shuangshuang waved his hand again and again, and his gaze fell on the mouth of the cloth bag, "I have heard my grandmother say that there is indeed this kind of rice."

It is said that in the past, it was a kind of imperial rice, which was eaten by Emperor Lao'er. The production is very small, ordinary people have never even seen it, but my grandmother ate it when she was young. ”

It's over~ This child also took some of what her grandmother said as true. Qin Lao Er still doesn't know if his own mother has eaten royal rice when she was a child.

His family is a few more generations up, and it is just an ordinary rich gentry family, and there have really been no big names in his ancestors, so it is impossible to eat some royal rice.

Besides, where is the origin of this japonica rice? Hebei! Not to mention the distance from the northwest, it is impossible for his mother to have the opportunity to see it when she was young.

However, the world was not peaceful later, and it happened that his grandfather moved back to the south and lived next to the Qian family, so it was really possible to have a chance to eat at that time.

"Wouldn't this dark red rice also be the rouge rice mentioned in Dream of Red Mansions?" Qin Shuangshuang said, leaning over to take a closer look.

Qin Qingping glanced at his mother Jinsha, and seeing that she had no intention of stopping herself, she smiled at Qin Shuangshuang and nodded, "That's right, it's that kind of rouge rice." ”

"Is there a sale here?"

Want to buy?

Qin Qingping shook his head.

Rouge rice is okay, as long as you are willing to pay and say a few more words of good obedience, Grandpa Li will still share some of it for the sake of everyone being Chinese.

But japonica rice is enough to choke.

The Li family has been experimenting in the past few years, and it was only last year that a batch of well-adapted new seeds were finally cultivated, and they would never be able to share them with outsiders.

His home?

That's because first, there is a relationship with his grandfather, and second, his father has helped the other party, so the Li family sent twenty or thirty catties of japonica rice to his family to try.

"That's it......" Qin Shuangshuang was embarrassed to ask Qin Qingping, whether the Li family would send twenty or thirty catties at a time, or twenty or thirty catties every year.

If there are more, her second aunt is not a stingy person. Without her opening, she would have already sent a part to her elderly parents-in-law more or less.

Since she hadn't heard about it from her grandmother before, it means that the root cause lies in the Li family, the giver, and there may be some factors that are not suitable for the outside world.

After all, there are a lot of Chinese people overseas, and they don't really want to attract attention. As for why you decided to give it to the Guan family as a greeting gift?

Thinking that the second uncle should trust the reliable Grandpa Guan in his memory, and want to take this opportunity to help the Li family pull a line from it. But is it really what she thinks?

In his mind, Qin Shuangshuang didn't know whether it was or not, so he immediately put aside his chaotic thoughts and continued to smile: "It's a pity, it's all gone." ”

Qin Lao Er shook his head noncommittally and smiled, "It's a pity, when people plant too much, they won't be afraid of nothing." The main thing is that this kind of sub is not brought out much.

At first, their family had a son studying here, and the parents at home were worried that their son would not be used to being here, so they brought more than ten catties of japonica rice to make porridge.

Later, when the whole family came out, they were already in chaos, and there was no japonica rice to be found. How many years have it been since the seeds that have been cultivated now?"

Jin Sha replied: "It's been almost twenty years. I remember that it was that year when we first got married, and that was the year that Uncle Li and my dad went back to China together.

It was the seed that Uncle Li found in a small village when he went back that year. At that time, he brought back all kinds of seeds, and he spent a lot of money on shipping alone.

I remember that when Uncle Li came back, Aunt Li had a fight with him, saying that he didn't bring some things back to earn a round-trip fare, and only brought some useless things. ”

Qin Lao Er shook his head with a smile. This should be the so-called public saying that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law is reasonable. But who is reasonable? Facts have proved that it is still justified.

If it weren't for the fact that the old man missed his hometown and had a move to bring seeds, even if he brought things back and made a fortune, there would definitely be no Li family who is now prosperous.

Just because the old man brought back several bags of various seeds, this stubborn old man got into a relationship with his wife, and bought a farm and a pasture, and then he really made a fortune.

"So it's a mistake. ”

yes, no one thought of it. Today, many of the fruits and vegetables from his family's farm are on the supermarkets and stalls owned by Chinese people in the vicinity.

Is there anyone who is jealous of his business? Naturally, there are, but there are not as many varieties as his family. The point is, not many people really know about his family's money.

At the beginning, there were some ruffians who came to the door to charge some protection fees, but it was one thing for their Li family to be low-key, and their family would also be very good.

It's like one year, and that year their business happened to grow to a nearby state. All of a sudden, the red eyes came, what do you say?

While her husband was telling the children about the history of the Li family, Jin Sha, who had packed up the gifts for tomorrow, did not wait for tomorrow morning to boil porridge, she simply busily boiled two porridges first.

After finishing this, Qin Lao Er was talking happily, and the topic was far away, Jin Sha went to the flour bag and scooped out two bowls of flour and put them in the basin to pour water and noodles, and waited for the fermentation to wrap a few buns.

Otherwise, it was rare for him to have Yaxing to mention some children, and if she stopped, in less than ten minutes, he would definitely run faster than anyone else.
