Chapter 167: The Only Dragon Fruit

Zhang Quan was not surprised when he heard this.

In an ordinary county, there are many such situations.

The family is not wealthy, the academic performance is not top, and many people choose not to go to high school.

In the third year of Zhang Quan's junior high school, the cost of studying in a technical school was not less than that of studying in high school, and many people felt that it was useless to study in a technical school.

Because of his side, it is rumored that many students who come out of technical schools will do the same work as those who came out to work in the third year of junior high school.

Of course, this may be an individual case, and the specific situation is not clear to Zhang Quan.

However, over time, in the countryside, technical schools are hardly treated.

When Zhang Quan was in his third year of junior high school, he also considered the path of technical school, but unfortunately his parents were firmly opposed, so he chose the former when he went to high school and worked part-time.

But now, it's different, even if the technical school is here, the reputation is not good, but it is better than no tuition, for those who don't want to go to high school, and don't want to work so early, it is an alternative choice.

Of course, in the past, you could also choose, but because the tuition fee was not cheap, many people's families were against it, and now, it doesn't cost so much to go to a technical school, so it doesn't hurt to study.

"Xiaoquan, are you going to look for a job?" The second aunt asked with concern.

"He now owns a shop with a few friends."

I don't know when, Zhang Quan's mother also walked to the second uncle's side.

"What, Xiaoquan, you're going to be the boss!" The second aunt said in surprise when she heard this.

"Brother, you have to do business." Zhang Chenggang also asked.

"I'm a junior in college, and I don't want to go out to work, so I found a few friends to start my own business together." Zhang Quan said lightly.

"Brother, what kind of business are you doing?"

"Malatang, similar to those skewers on the beachside of the road. But I'm running a shop. ”

"Xiaoquan, it takes a lot of money to do business." The second aunt asked.

"I did it with a few friends, they accounted for the majority, I accounted for the small one, and the store opened was not big, the specifications were similar to the general row, and the family supported some to open the store."

This statement was discussed by Zhang Quan with his parents last night, although the family did not support Zhang Quan to start a business. But that's what the outside world says.

"Your mother is so willing!" The second aunt said.

"Hehe, alas, Xiaoquan is reluctant to work, he wants to do business, and he can't persuade him a few times. He found a few partners to do it together, and it was up to him. Zhang Quan's mother said.

The reason for this. You can't talk nonsense. However, if you really ask Zhang Quan's mother to take money to Zhang Quan to do business, it will be very difficult, after all, the current business is not good, and if you lose, those are their pension capital.

"Xiaoquan, business is good." The second aunt continued to ask.

"It's so-so. It's tepid, it's almost the same as a part-time job, and the store has been open for a few days. ”

"Xiaoquan, you do business. Why haven't you heard from your parents before? The second aunt said strangely.

"I told them not to say it yet, a while ago, I wasn't sure if it could be done."

Zhang Quan hurriedly replied, almost exposed, I didn't expect this when I discussed it yesterday.

"Oh, I see." The second aunt nodded, and then said with concern, "Is it easy to make money going there to do business?" Last time, I heard that there was a couple of people in Chenjia Village, who were quarantined, and they also went there to open a restaurant a few years ago, saying that after deducting the water and electricity bills, the money they earned every month would be enough to make a living. ”

"It depends on who it is, some people make a lot of money, but some can't do it, as for the shop that my friend and I opened, because it has just opened, I can't see the situation."

Although the business of the store is booming, it is better to keep a low profile.

"Xiaoquan, you have to do business well, make a lot of money, and bring your brother with you when the time comes." The second aunt said.

"Then inherit the second aunt's auspicious words."

Several people chatted for a while, and at 1:30 in the afternoon, Zhang Chenggang was about to go back to school.

Zhang Quan and the others also followed Zhang Chenggang to the outside of the house.

Outside, the air was much better than inside, and it had rained just now, so the air was exceptionally fresh.

Zhang Quan walked to the front yard of the second uncle, and although the ground was wet and drenched, it had a different taste.

"Hey, when did you get a dragon fruit?"

Zhang Quan's eyes suddenly lit up, the dragon fruit tree planted by the second uncle had always only bloomed and did not bear fruit, but now it actually produced a fruit.

There are still a lot of dragon fruits, most of them have about two fists, but the fur is still very green, and it is obviously not ripe.

"Hehe, it turns out that this dragon fruit, until those flowers are gone, will start to bear fruit slowly, and it was wasted to pick flowers before." The second aunt said loudly, a little funny about her previous behavior.

"Ahh

Zhang Quan was a little surprised when he heard this, but he felt that it was reasonable.

The dragon fruit tree of the second uncle's house was planted by the second uncle from someone last year.

Last year, the first year it was planted, and there were no flowers and fruits, so there was nothing to say.

After a year of growth, the tree has become somewhat large, and this summer, this dragon fruit tree began to bloom, although there are not many of them, but there are also twenty or thirty of them.

The flower of this dragon fruit grows very large, and when it opens, it is a large flower, similar to the overlord flower.

After these dragon fruits bloomed, the second aunt waited left and right, but they couldn't wait for the dragon fruit to bear fruit, and those dragon fruit flowers were also half gone.

Because no one in the village made dragon fruit, and when the second uncle got it back, he didn't ask clearly, and everyone didn't know how to plant it.

The second aunt watched the dragon fruit start to thank, and thought, instead of waiting for the flowers to be wasted, it would be better to pick them to make soup, so she began to pick dragon fruit flowers to make soup.

Zhang Quan and Zhang Chenggang, when the second aunt picked dragon fruit flowers, they also persuaded them, saying that they might have to wait for these flowers to be thanked before they bear fruit.

However, the two were not very sure in their hearts, and their tone was not firm enough, after all, the two had no experience.

Although, they also spent their lives, but unfortunately they did not find useful information.

I don't know what the second aunt heard from there, saying that the flowers of dragon fruit are flowers, and the fruits are fruits, unlike other plants, which bear fruit from flowers, so I picked all those flowers and took them to make soup.

Most of the people here who have planted overlord flowers are also used to make soup, and these dragon fruit flowers that look like overlord flowers should also be fine.

After picking once, there is a second time, which is wasted, no need to pick it to make soup, this is the kind of psychology, as long as the second aunt sees the dragon fruit flowers in full bloom, they will pick them one by one, and then boil them.

Of course, that summer vacation, Zhang Quan happened to be at home, so he didn't drink less soup made with dragon fruit flowers. (To be continued......)
