Chapter 50 Letters of Recommendation from Brown University

The ground is a smooth dirt road, which has become very solid because of frequent trampling, and there are no wild grasses growing on it.

The greenhouse is silvery-white, reflecting light in the sun, a little dazzling, and the top is a curved roof, half-covered with a blackout net, and the steel skeleton inside can be vaguely seen.

There is a basket of fruits and vegetables in the open space next to it, and workers are carrying it to the car.

Led by Lewis, father and son went to a greenhouse closest to the office, and as soon as they opened the door, a burst of sweltering hot water hit their faces.

The temperature outside was only thirteen or four degrees, and when he entered here, the boy looked at the thermometer, and the mercury scale clearly pointed to more than twenty-two degrees.

Everywhere you look, it's a verdant cucumber stand, with palm-sized leaves, and vines growing up along finger-thick nylon ropes.

The water pipe opened a small hole, and every few seconds a drop of water would drip down, and the roots of the cucumber vine were soaked in small patches, the soil was somewhat blackened, and the rotting leaves provided it with nutrients, and you could see some earthworms pushing out the dirt and piling it up into a centimeter-high knoll.

In the normal season, cucumbers are about to wither and yellow, but here they have just bloomed, and the tender green melon seedlings are hanging on the shelves, and the longest is only more than ten centimeters.

On the side, there was a man dressed as a peasant woman, pruning the excess yellow flowers to ensure that the other melons and fruits were sufficiently nutritious.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, she turned her head to look, put down the scissors in her hand, and said, "Boy, why are you here?" ”

"Come and see, Aunt Kelly. Han Xuan smiled and said, "What are you doing here?"

"Go to work, there are too few things in the cafeteria, and your Uncle John has to go to work during the day, and I will be bored at home. ”

Kelly replied with a smile, looked at Han Qianshan and Lewis nodded, and continued to say to the boy, "Do you want to have a cucumber to try? ”

"Thank you, I'll come by myself, is this ripe?" Han Xuan said, pointing to a large cucumber of more than ten centimeters on the vine on the left.

"It's so old, it doesn't taste very good, it's only picked here in the morning, and the fresh ones are shipped away. You come with me, you have to go inside. Kelly said as she bent down and stretched out her hand: "Do you want me to hold you?"

"I've grown up!" Ms. Kelly. ”

"Okay, okay, we're ten years old, come with me. ”

Han Qianshan looked at his son's back, turned his head to Lewis and said, "How is it here lately?"

"It's not bad, I just replaced this multi-functional longevity film, which has twice the service life of ordinary plastic film, which can save more than 100,000 US dollars per year, and the performance of lighting and thermal insulation is also better. ”

"It's just that there are fewer employees, and they will usually be busy, but they can still accept this level of workload, after all, the boss you give a high salary. ”

"What about the dishes? There are so many kinds of dishes, can you be busy? Father Han continued to ask him, took the cucumber handed by his son, took a bite, and said vaguely.

"The price of vegetables is quite high now, a pound of organic cucumber can be sold for about $2, a cauliflower is about $2.5, and the ordinary ones are only half the price of these. The signboard of our ranch has been put out and the sales are very good. ”

"As long as the temperature and humidity are controlled, the land is very fertile, I don't have to worry about it at all, it's all ordinary vegetables, I learned a little bit in school, and I also asked experienced classmates. ”

Lewis raised his hand and scratched his head, also took a cucumber, squatted by the faucet to clean it, and said in his mouth: "Your father came here half a month ago, and these vegetables are needed by his company." French coriander and spinach have just been planted and have not yet sprouted. ”

"Whatever he wants, by the way, is my dad asking for a high price?"

Seeing the boss looking at him, Lewis seemed a little embarrassed, paused in the movement in his hand, and said hesitantly: "It's okay, it's about the same price as the market." ”

Xiao Han Xuan next to him was stunned: "And those ordinary ones on the market?"

"Well, it's always been this price. ”

"Hey, this old peel, he has earned all the money, no wonder I think the output of the vegetable garden is so small. ”

Father Han crooked his mouth and said: "After paying off the bank money and buying an island, I can cry out when I am poor, and he still cheats on me! ”

"Boss. ”

"What's the matter?"

He said that if you ask, let me tell you that this vegetable garden was invested by him, which is a return on the initial investment, as well as transportation and channel fees. ”

“…… Anyway, it's still a loss, and I don't want to think about how much effort I put into it, and the price of selling it to him will go up a little bit in the future!"

Lewiston opened his mouth wide.

Han Qianshan saw what that meant, raised his leg and walked out, patting him on the shoulder: "It's wrong, it's our efforts." ”

I came to the tomato plantation in a different place, and the half-human-tall plants were full of blue-green fruits, mixed with some special figures.

"These are freshly introduced South American black tomatoes, and they have similar growth habits to regular tomatoes, so we planted them together. ”

Lewis explained, walked over and picked a few, washed them and handed them to the father and son, and continued: "Black tomatoes have high nutritional value, especially suitable for fresh food, and also contain a lot of lycopene, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which are 10 times higher than ordinary tomatoes. ”

"It has the effect of protecting the kidneys and whitening, losing weight and slimming for women, and the anthocyanins in it are ...... for men"

Lewis stretched his head towards Han Qianshan, and the boy saw his father's eyes light up, and he seemed to understand something.

After visiting for a while and taking his son home, Han's father sneaked in through the back door, sat next to the phone and struggled for a long time, pointing to the microphone and muttering, but he didn't call out after all.

Han Xuan knew him too well, shook his head upstairs to take a nap, passed by the window and saw Fat Ding, remembered that he lacked a pillow, so he took it with him.

I walked through the room without stopping, and went straight to the small attic, there was a folding wooden bed under the bookshelf, quilts and everything, Joanna washed them, put them in the cupboard, and laid them out by herself.

Fat Ding was still confused, whatever the boy put it on, anyway, he didn't open his eyes, his front paws twitched and twitched, and he was held by the owner as a pillow.

I was too tired for the past two days, Han Xuan fell asleep quickly, and he didn't even know that his mother was coming up, and he woke up leisurely when the sun was setting in the west.

I got up and put a piece of vinyl on the gramophone, and the singing voice of last year's Grammy Awards, the best single of the year, "Tears in Heaven" came out.

Find the suspense novel "The Other Half of Darkness" written by Stephen King from the bookshelf, and walk up to the balcony, where there is no wind and a good place to read.

When he passed by the desk, he found that there was an extra bowl of fruit salad on it, and the boy showed a smile on his face, walked over with the bowl and was about to leave, only to see that a letter was also next to him.

Picked it up and looked at it, it was definitely not sent by Anya, she would only use pink, and she was a little puzzled, who else would write to her besides her.

I saw that the postmark on it said Providence-Brown University in Rhode Island, USA, and the sender was Angelica, who had not been heard from for three years, and was a German math teacher when she was a child.

Thinking of this, Han Xuanxiao narrowed his eyes, took out the letter cutter, sat on the chair and slowly cut it along the corner, and reached out to take it out, inside were two pieces of paper with the title of the letter of introduction.

The boy looked at it from beginning to end, and it turned out that Teacher Angelica had been waiting for him to turn ten years old.

Lying on the wide chair, he looked at it again, picked up his fork and poked an apple, put it in his mouth, and muttered, "Go to Brown University?"

Picking up the envelope and jumping off the chair, I was about to go downstairs to discuss with my parents when a small piece of paper fell out.

Han Xuan bent down to pick it up, and suddenly saw the Deutsche Bank logo with a string of numbers written underneath.

Immediately stunned.

Reps: I will go back to the mainland the morning after tomorrow, and I will go to Kaohsiung tomorrow, and I want to go around the second island before leaving, and then use it all to write novels.
