Chapter 12: New Year's Fruit Falls
As the snowflakes fall, winter has officially arrived. During this period, Qin Shaochu was afraid that the saplings of the pear tree would be cold, so he asked people to protect them with models.
In this regard, Qin Shaochu also took people to buy dozens of lychee seedlings and brought them back to the village, so he asked people to carry the seeds together, and after the planting was done, the seedlings were also protected. The time has come unconsciously, the New Year.
The villagers didn't start in the village, and the people on the door were Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong, and they began, keeping the New Year's custom.
"One night even two years old, five more divided into two days", Chinese New Year's Eve night, the whole family reunion, eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, chat around the fire, say goodbye to the old and welcome the new,"
This year's "Hundred Towns" can be more lively than in previous years. In the New Year, the people of the village all gathered. More than 30 tables were placed in a row, and when they saw everyone doing it on the table, the village chief took the lead in talking to everyone.
"Haha, happy New Year, everyone, in previous years, our village, but not so lively, remembering that we were so shabby before, where is there such a beauty now, everyone knows, who brought it to us."
Everyone shouted in unison: "Gongzi Qin, it was Gongzi Qin who brought it to us, thank you Gongzi Qin." ”
The village looked at the villagers' emotions, "Okay, let Qin Gongzi tell us about it." ”
Qin Shaochu looked at everyone, smiled helplessly under everyone's gaze, and then began to tell everyone;
"Hehe, Happy New Year, everyone, the end of the year is coming, on the occasion of this New Year, I wish you all the best to come, reiterate the ambition of Kunpeng Honghu, cherish the time and work hard, and look forward to the light of the sun and the moon in heaven and earth."
Qin Shaochu remembered what he had seen in the history books before, and shamelessly moved it to himself.
"Here, I also hope that everyone, for the sake of a better life in the village, let us work together, everyone said, okay."
"Good, good" Qin Shaochu's words drove everyone's hearts.
"Alright, everyone, let's eat."
At the dinner table, it didn't take long for someone to toast Qin Shaochu, and Qin Shaochu did not live up to everyone's kindness, bowl by bowl. If the village hadn't stopped it, maybe everyone would still be toasting Qin Shaochu.
Tang Dynasty, the Spring Festival, is also the New Year's Day of the first month, the first day of the first month of the first month is New Year's Day, in the "Book of Han" there are "three yuan" (the year of the yuan, the time of the yuan, the month of the yuan), the "three dynasties" (the year of the dynasty, the month of the dynasty, the day of the dynasty), "four beginnings" (the beginning of the year, the beginning of the time, the beginning of the day, the beginning of the month) said. Cui Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty "Four People's Moon Order": "The New Year's Day of the first month is the first day. There are also names such as Yuanzheng (pronouncing Yinping), Yuanri, Zhengdan, and Xinzheng.
Everyone also started the so-called hundred years, and Qin Shaochu also let go of other things and accepted everyone's hundred years. For several days, the village was very lively.
In the second year of junior high school, Qin Shaochu took Dahanzi to Zhang Tianming's house to pay New Year's greetings to Zhang Tianming. After all, Zhang Tianming and Qin Shaochu had business dealings, so Qin Shaochu felt that he was going to pay New Year's greetings to Zhang Tianming.
As soon as he arrived at Zhang Tianming's house, Zhang Tianming was very happy. "Haha, Brother Qin, Happy New Year,"
"Brother Zhang, Happy New Year." Qin Shaochu also spoke politely to Zhang Tianming.
Qin Shaochu also greeted Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Xiaoyue. At the dinner table, Zhang Tianming and Qin Shaochu were talking about the future.
"Brother, I don't know when your fruit will be sold?"
Qin Shaochu listened to Zhang Tianming ask himself; "Brother Zhang, my pear tree is still growing, and for fruits, I expect it will be until summer. So there are no plans yet. ”
Zhang Tianming was a little disappointed, but when he thought that the pear tree needed to grow, the disappointment in his heart gradually faded, "Oh, too, take your time, Brother Qin, don't worry." ”
Qin Shaochu smiled in his heart, thinking about Zhang Tianming's words, "Hehe, I'm afraid it's you, you want to mix a foot in my fruit?" ”
After talking about some things, in the afternoon, Qin Shaochu left Zhang Tianming's house and returned to the village. Looking at the falling snow, Qin Shaochu estimated that this snow would continue to fall for a few days.
Soon, it was the eighth day of the new year, and the snow stopped for two days. Qin Shaochu saw that the heavy snow did not fall, so he called everyone and began to clear the heavy snow. Under the sweep of everyone, the snow buried on the saplings was cleared.
After another ten days, spring came, everything was plural, and in the name of the village, some people began to plant rice, and some people took care of pear trees and lychee trees.
At this time, the pear tree also grew to a height of more than two meters, and there were some flower buds on the tree. Qin Shaochu saw the flower buds on the tree and asked everyone to carefully sprinkle water and fertilize.
As spring approached summer, the village harvested several thousand buckets of rice again. The pear tree is also full of fruit.
Summer is coming, and the air is hot and hot. The fruit of the pear tree also grew up, and Qin Shaochu asked someone to take the basket and pick it carefully. For this reason, Qin Shaochu also took the lead in picking pears.
Of course, Qin Shaochu took everyone to pick only half of the fruit on the pear tree, and when he picked the pears, Qin Shaochu thought about how to sell them, and thought about it for a while, Qin Shaochu didn't expect it, but he thought of Zhang Tianming.
"Well, Zhang Tianming has been doing business in the town for so many years, he must know where to sell these fruits, yes, I can go and ask him", said to do it, Qin Shaochu explained to the village chief, took the big man, and went to the town.
When he came to the rice shop, Qin Shaochu explained his intention.
Zhang Tianming heard Qin Shaochu's words and thought about it; "Brother Qin, if you sell these fruits in our town, I think it will be difficult to sell them."
"Brother Zhang, what do you say?" Qin Shaochu was a little curious.
"Brother, to be honest, there are still too few people in our town, only three or four hundred in total. In our town, you sell rice, and many people's demand for fruit is not so great. Zhang Tianming and Qin Shaochu analyzed these things.
Qin Shaochu thought about it, indeed, what Zhang Tianming said made some sense. "Then, Brother Zhang, in your opinion, where can I sell my fruit?"
Brother, thirty miles southwest of our town, there is a town called "Jiangnan Town, where the population is dense, there are about 3,000 people, you can think about where to sell." ”
Qin Shaochu began to think about it, calculating his gains and losses, and after thinking for a long time, Zhang Tianming looked at Qin Shaochu thinking about things, and did not bother him. Soon Qin Shaochu calculated it and felt that it was feasible.
"Well, that's good, I think. Brother Zhang, I'll go to take a look at Jiangnan Town, but I don't know, when the time comes, can I be together? ”
Zhang Tianming heard Qin Shaochu ask him, so he nodded, "Okay, brother, when the time comes, my brother will go with you, but, brother, if you really sell fruits in that town, don't forget your brother" Zhang Tianming said to Qin Shaochu half-jokingly.
I heard Zhang Tianming jokingly. Qin Shaochu nodded, haha. Don't worry, brother, when the time comes, I won't forget you,"
Originally, Zhang Tianming wanted to ask Qin Shaochu to eat together, but Qin Shaochu refused, saying that he would go back to the village and still have something to do.
Zhang Tianming had no choice but to let Qin Shaochu leave, and repeatedly instructed Qin Shaochu, saying, "If you really sell fruits, you must call yourself with you when the time comes." ”
Qin Shaochu had no choice but to nod again and again.
