Chapter 156: Fruit Grove

Think about it, you and the person you like, you only meet once every three or five days, and the meeting time is not too long, it is better to get married as soon as possible.

These two people, since Li Chen said that he wanted to marry Yuan Qing, and Yuan Qing said that he would talk about marriage two years later, the two of them did not mention the matter of marriage.

The two of them are not urgent, nor are they the kind of sad people who don't see each other for a day, so they can still get by.

Time flies, in August, the fruit is formed, and the green and astringent taste hits the autumn state.

In another month, the fruit on the tree will be ripe and ready to be plucked and sold.

Yuan Qing thought in his mind that the green fruit shop needed fruits, and if he still wanted to buy the fruits of the scattered fruit farmers like last year, it should be possible, but if he could have a fruit forest, that would be the best.

As the saying goes, it is better to ask for others than to seek yourself, and it is better to have a fruit forest for yourself than to blindly buy other people's fruits.

It's not impossible to have your own orchard, you can use money to make the devil grind, but who wants to sell their own orchard to outsiders? You must know that all the fruit forests in Autumn Prefecture are ownerless.

Even if it is scattered, there are also retail species. And there are so many fruit forests in Qiuzhou, and all of them have owners, and it is still a little difficult for later people to find a fruit forest of their own in Qiuzhou.

Yuan Qing is now a middle-class and upper-class rich person, and her financial resources are still good, but who is willing to sell her family's ancestral fruit grove? You must know that the ancients relied on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water, how could they say that they would buy the fruit forests they relied on for their survival?

Fruit farmers buy fruit forests, just like farmers buy land, merchants buy shops, and officials buy official positions. As a last resort, who would?

Even though the possibility of selling fruit groves is very small, Yuan Qing is still more concerned about the news in this regard.

In Qiuzhou, the two largest fruit merchants are the Han family and the Bai family, and the others are all small minions. The younger brother type, with the Han and Bai families as the eldest brothers.

On this day, Qi Yi brought good news that the Zhou family's fruit forest was willing to buy it.

The Zhou family is also a merchant in Qiuzhou. It's not big, it's not too small, and it can eat well, but this year, their son Jinshi from high school is going to the capital to be an official, and there are not many people in the Zhou family. One son was an official, the other son was a soldier, and their parents were also old, and they couldn't take care of Guolin's affairs, so the official's son persuaded his parents to buy Guolin and go to the capital with him to enjoy happiness.

The two elders are actually reluctant to give up their own fruit forest, after all, it has been passed on for so many years, but the health of the two of them is really not very good, and no one has come to inherit the family business. They could only follow their son's advice and buy the fruit grove.

Two days after the news was released, some people also went to discuss with them, but they couldn't negotiate, this time it was Yuan Qing's turn, she met with the Zhou family, and went to Qiuzhou City to see the Zhou family fruit forest, the Zhou family fruit forest is not as big as the fruit forest of the Han and Bai families, but the location is very good. The lighting is good, the fruit trees bear large and sweet fruits, there are not too many pests, and there are many of them in a fruit forest.

A small orchard looks down. Yuan Qing happily decided to buy this fruit forest, a total of three hundred taels of silver, exchanged between the two sides, and made a contract in the steward's office, and this Zhou family fruit forest officially became the Yuan family fruit forest.

Evening. Yuan Qing sat at the table and settled the accounts, now that he has bought a fruit forest, then the fruits of the green fruit shop are not worried, it is still worth spending three hundred taels of silver.

In the next few days, Yuan Qing went to the fruit forest every day to take care of it.

The fruit forest is not big, there are hundreds of fruit trees, more than 100 years old, the hillside is stable, the fruit trees are sparse, and the types are also complete, apple trees, persimmon trees, plum trees, autumn pear trees, etc., there are few insect pests, there are five people working in the fruit forest, these five people are the original team of the past, the master has changed, the staff has not changed, they work seriously, watering, fertilizing, removing insects, taking turns to keep vigil, to avoid bad people to steal fruits, although the fruit is not yet ripe, to eat, it can still be eaten.

After Yuan Qing and these five people got to know each other, they asked some things about the fruit forest, and she gradually understood that the fruits of the Zhou family have always been bought from all over the world, although they are a little fortunate, but fortunately, there are many people.

In September, melons and fruits are fragrant, it is a harvest season, Yuan Qing came to the fruit forest he just bought the month before, this halfway up the mountainside, everywhere is fruity, very smelly.

"Xiao Wu, on weekdays, the five of you take care of the fruit forest, these fruits are picked, are the five of you transporting them to buy?" Xiao Wu, one of the five people who worked in the fruit forest, said.

"Girl, when the Zhou family contracted this fruit forest in the past, it was all transported and bought by their Zhou family, and we were only responsible for fruit picking, not for selling." Xiao Wu smiled at Yuan Qing.

"Oh." Yuan Qing nodded, looked up at the fruits all over the mountain, and had a lot of thoughts in his heart, it was the first time he contracted the fruit forest, how could he sell so many fruits? Do you have to learn from others to sell it?

"That's a problem." Yuan Qing nodded again in contemplation.

"Girl, these pre-ripening fruits are also ready to be picked, should we pick them?" Uncle Yang asked.

"Well, let's pick the cooked ones first." Yuan Qing nodded.

"Okay." The five of them nodded in unison, and then took the basket and went to pick the ripe fruit.

Yuan Qing walked away, thinking all the time, how to solve this extra fruit? It is impossible for Qingguo Shop to digest it all at once. I need to think of another sales channel.

Yuan Qing thought about walking, she had just walked out of the fruit forest and came to the foot of the mountain, when she was hit by a person running from the side of her body, she was almost knocked to the ground by him, but fortunately Yuan Qing reacted in time and grabbed the fruit tree on the side steadily, otherwise they would both fall together.

"Right...... I'm sorry. It was a man's voice, clear to the ear.

"It's fine." Yuan Qing replied lightly, this man was still beside her, which made Yuan Qing uncomfortable, she wanted to push him away and stand up by herself.

"I didn't hurt you, did I?" The man was taller than Yuan Qing, and his whole body was leaning on her, and she was leaning against the tree, which ......

Something is wrong.

"Nope." Yuan Qing was impatient, why did this girl still lean so tightly, what did she want to do?

"Oh, I'll help you up." After speaking, the man obediently reached out and helped Yuan Qing away from the side of the tree.

Yuan Qing was a little uncomfortable in her heart, she didn't seem to like other people's touches very much, shook off his hand, and said quite coldly: "I'm leaving." ”

She didn't even look at this man, but the man saw her appearance clearly, the moment the man saw her, his eyes seemed to be frozen, looking straight at Yuan Qing's face, delicate, handsome, not very beautiful, maybe he didn't look at her because Yuan Qing looked like a fairy, but ......

“…… Lady ......" The man looked at Yuan Qing in a daze, and after a long time, his thin lips opened slightly, and he said these two words that even he thought were incredible.

He thought that he would never find his wife again, but he didn't expect that now, he found it, he didn't know how to express his feelings, he stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Qing, who was about to leave.

Just now, the lady he shouted was very quiet, and Yuan Qing didn't hear it at all. Now, the man grabbed Yuan Qing's hand and did not allow her to leave, Yuan Qing was forced to stop, she frowned, she has always been a little clean, she doesn't like to be touched, and this strange man has repeatedly approached her, she is going to curse.

What do you mean, harassment? Yuan Qing turned her head to look at him impatiently, the man's appearance, there was a trace of memory in her mind, but it was not strong, she didn't know him, perhaps, she had seen him before, but she didn't know him.

"Lady, it's really you." The man saw Yuan Qing clearly and understood, this delicate eyebrows and eyes were clearly the lady he thought about at night. He smiled with his eyebrows, grabbed her with his hand, no matter how Yuan Qing wanted to pull his hand out, he refused to let go.

"You recognized the wrong person, I'm not your lady." Yuan Qing defended loudly, hoping that the man would let go of her hand, this man seemed to have seen him there, but now he couldn't remember at all in his mind where she had seen him.

"Lady, you are my lady, lady, Ah Yu is looking for you so hard." Saying that, the man who called himself Ah Yu hugged Yuan Qing with joy and sorrow, and tears of joy flowed down from his eyes and fell on Yuan Qing's shoulder.

"Hey, what are you doing, let go of me, I said I'm not your lady, you recognized the wrong person, let go of me." Yuan Qing pushed him hard, his tone mixed with annoyance.

"Lady, don't you know Ah Yu? You...... Why are you pushing Ah Yu away? The man was so annoyed by Yuan Qing that his nose was sour, and his voice was choked.

"When did I meet you? I don't know what your name is, you let go of me, I'm not your lady, let go of me. Yuan Qing was extremely angry, what is the situation, this man is sick in the brain or was caught by the door, and he actually pulled a passer-by casually, and said that it was his own wife? It's so unlucky, this passerby is me.

Yuan Qing was helpless, stunned and afraid of fools.

"You're lying, you obviously know Ah Yu, why did you forget, lady? It snowed heavily that day, on the side of that high mountain, on the bridge, next to the Sansheng Stone, didn't we meet? But lady, you didn't wait for Ah Yu to run away alone, Ah Yu has been looking for you for a long time, a long time, and now I find you. The man was about to cry again.

Heavy snow, high mountains, Nai He Bridge, Sansheng Stone. Yuan Qing grabbed the four words that the man said in his mind, could it be that this man was the man who held a red rope with her on the Nai He Bridge that day?

I remember that day, Yuan Qing held two red ropes in her hands, and then led out two men, one of whom was a man, and she heard a girl calling him Ayu. Could it be that this Ah Yu is that Ah Yu?

Could it be that this Ah Yu really believes in that bullshit legend, as long as they hold a red rope together, then the two people at both ends of the red rope are lovers in this life. To be continued
