Chapter 299: Buying a Fruit Tree
The place where Zhang Zhiyuan's friend lives is only under the jurisdiction of Yongfeng County, but it is not in the county seat, but in Du Village, and the distance from Taohua Village is closer than going to Mei County.
Early in the morning of the second day, several people had eaten early, and went out of the house at four o'clock, got on the ox cart that had been arranged in advance, and went to Du Village.
At the end of the hour, the ox cart stopped at the entrance of Du Village, and said to the old man who was driving the car, and several people followed Zhang Zhiyuan to his friend's house.
"Du Gao, brother, I found you someone to buy the apricot tree!" As soon as Zhang Zhiyuan entered the courtyard, he shouted excitedly.
Ye Hao and the others waited outside the door and did not go in.
After more than ten breaths, Zhang Zhiyuan walked out of the gate with a young man.
Ye Hao's eyes swept over this person, and she was secretly amused in her heart, this person was really a little sorry for his name, and his height was only about one meter six.
"Is this lady the one who bought the apricot tree that Brother Zhiyuan said?" Du Gao directly ignored Ye Hao, looked at Xing's hand and asked.
"This....it's my daughter who wants to buy the apricot tree." Xing replied.
A hint of surprise flashed in Du Gao's eyes, and then he looked at the girl: "It's rude." ”
"Time is running out, why don't we go to your orchard now?" Ye Hao didn't mind this, and went straight to the point.
"Okay, no problem!" Du Gao should also be refreshing.
Leading the way in front, several people soon arrived on a slope.
Ye Hao's gaze swept around, and as she walked forward, she took a few closer glances at the ground under her feet and the surrounding fruit trees.
The ground under your feet is a little barren, but you can see that this land with fruit trees has improved a lot, and it is obvious that it has been carefully cared for.
As for the fruit trees, it is even more so, although the weather is still cold, but half of the trees have already emerged flower bones, and they are about to blossom and bear fruit.
At this time, it is the beginning of the second month of the lunar calendar, which is equivalent to the beginning of March of the solar calendar.
However, being able to cultivate apricot trees that are only seeds in the original barren land is enough to prove this Du Gao's intentions.
"Well, these almond trees are good, aren't they? They are all grown up by me little by little, and it took me countless efforts to raise them to such a big size, and they are about to blossom and bear fruit, but... Alas. ”
When Du Gao said this, he reached out and touched the branch of the apricot tree in front of him, and his face showed a trace of reluctance.
These apricot trees are equivalent to his children, and the children have finally grown to such a size that they can blossom and bear fruit, and they can be sold for money, but he wants to sell them ruthlessly.
Every time he thought of this, his heart hurt as if he had been cut by a knife.
The only thing that made him happy was that Brother Zhiyuan had just told him that the two people who came to buy fruit trees this time were his neighbors and would never lower the price.
In this way, as long as he sells about 100 of these four-year-old fruit trees, he can make up enough money for A-Niang's medical treatment and medicine, and his hard work is not in vain, it is better than being eaten by those people!
"It's really good!" Ye Hao nodded approvingly.
"How much are you going to sell an apricot tree?" She then asked.
Speaking of this, the reluctance in Du Gao's eyes became a little stronger: "Little lady, you and Brother Zhiyuan have an old relationship, and you can help me in my difficult time this time, and I won't tell you much about this price." ”
"These apricot trees that can bloom and bear fruit right away, within a hundred, you can give two hundred wen for one!"
Ye Hao smiled noncommittally, stretched out her hand and pointed to those in the distance, the branches were obviously a few circles smaller, and the bare apricot trees on the branches asked, "What about those?" And what is the price? ”
Du Gao followed her line of sight and replied with a smile: "Those are only a year or two of apricot trees, and you will have to take care of them for at least a few years before they can blossom and bear fruit." ”
After speaking, he looked at the look on her face: "Little lady, you ..... You don't want those, do you? ”
"Why, can't you?" Ye Hao asked with a smile and walked forward.
Du Gao followed her: "Yes, but I also have to say that this apricot tree is not better than the crops, and it must be taken care of all year round." ”
"It's good to say that it's been four years long, and it's better for the little lady to take it back to feed some, but these one, two or three years are not easy to say, and it takes a lot of effort."
Ye Hao smiled: "Don't worry, Lang Jun, I know all this." ”
She has space in her hands, wouldn't it be a pity not to make good use of it?
For others, these one- and two-year-old apricot trees are really not easy to take care of, and lack of water and temperature may cause them to wither.
But for her, these are not problems, not to mention sprinkling the soil in the space on their roots, just watering them every day, mixed with the water of the space spring, basically there is no problem.
And the sloping land she looked at a few days ago does not have the problem of lack of sun and soil quality, so if these apricot trees are brought back, at least 99% of them can be fed.
I don't say it's full, it's because she's humble.
Du Gao rubbed his hands nervously and asked, "How many are the little lady going to buy?" ”
Ye Hao thought for a while, pointed to the small saplings that were obviously shorter and thinner than other apricot trees, and said, "These are a year, I want one hundred and fifty, one more money?" ”
"Forty Wen!"
After Du Gao answered, he quickly calculated in his heart, one hundred and fifty, that is, six taels of silver, and his face showed a touch of frustration, this silver was not enough for him to see a doctor for A-Niang.
But seeing Ye Hao, she then pointed to the taller apricot trees and asked, "These two-year-old ones, how much is a dollar?" ”
"If the little lady wants it, I'll give you eighty wen!" Du Gao perked up and replied.
Ye Hao nodded, and asked again: "What about these three-year-old ones?" ”
She thought very clearly, although she had space in her hands, but if the three-year-old apricot tree would bloom and bear fruit this year, it would barely be reasonable, but if it was one or two years old, it would be too eye-catching.
So although she felt sorry for the silver, she still planned to buy some three-year-old apricot trees.
Du Gao frowned and thought for a few breaths, gritted his teeth and reported a number: "One hundred and twenty Wen." ”
Ye Hao smiled: "For the second year and the third year, I want a hundred each, plus one year, a total of three hundred and fifty, can Lang Jun agree?" ”
"Agreed! Thank you so much for the little lady for reaching out to me, then these apricot trees, when do you think it is appropriate to bring them back? Du Gao asked.
Ye Hao thought for a while: "Three days later, you will send these apricot trees to Peach Blossom Village." ”
Seeing the look of embarrassment on his face: "Don't worry, I will pay the money for hiring a car, as for the money to buy the tree, I will pay half of the deposit first, and I will pay you the rest when you deliver the things!" ”
"Okay, no problem!" Du Gao, who thought that A-Niang's illness would drag on for a few days, responded without hesitation.
After discussing it properly, the rest was much easier, and after giving the silver, Ye Hao wrote a slip and asked the other party to press his handprint.
Although most of the human nature in these years is relatively simple, there are exceptions to everything, and what should be done must not be pulled down......
