Shi Qingran still remembers that when she was in Qishan in the past, an orchard was opened on the hill behind the Shijia Villa where she lived.

Unlike Wangcheng, most families in Qishan do not know how to do business, and still make a living from farming, and orchards and fields are all their hopes and lifeblood.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are too many places in the whole country to make a living from farming, and there are countless fruits to grow, but Qishan is the only one who can win the first place and be selected as the queen every year.

The reason for this is that the outside world is boiling, and some people who don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement even threaten that this is because His Majesty is afraid of the Shi family, so he opened the back door to the careless owner of Qishan with a clear conscience.

Shi Xuan has always turned a deaf ear to such gossip, and Shi Qingran also knows that the reasons for this are not as complicated as they think.

It's just a few apples, how can it be involved in the dispute between the government and the opposition temple?

If you want to talk about the reason, there are only two, half of which is because of the good water and soil in Qishan, and the other half is because of her brother who is unreliable in big things and twists and turns in small things.

Speaking of which, when Zigui is the lord of a country today, food and clothing must be the icing on the cake in the pursuit of excellence.

But Shi Xuan is very confident - what about the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven has seen apples, so has he ever seen an apple in the shape of a flower?

The idea of planting apples in the shape of natural flowers was the winning method that her brother came up with to help Qishan apples sell well in the north and south.

In fact, it seems very strange to say, but the principle is very simple.

It is said that her brother took over the villa, but instead of having the courage to carry forward the family business, he became more and more enterprising, and always did something unexpected at every turn.

What he did unexpectedly on that occasion was to make a mold in the shape of a flower, and he gave it to the growers in charge of the trees in the lodge, and asked them to stuff all the unformed fruit into the mold.

If it was just him just idle and playing crazy, but those fruit farmers were still in awe of the owner of their new official, so they did it non-stop, and the obedience made Shi Qingran a little contemptible.

However, whether she despised it or not, this seemingly ridiculous method actually worked.

In that year, the apples of Qishan were selected for the royal use, and won the great joy of His Majesty's dragon face, it is said that on a whim, a plaque was inscribed on the fruit farmers who paid tribute.

The illiterate fruit farmer's eyes lit up with excitement, and he immediately looked at Shi Xuan's eyes as if he had seen the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva.

Regardless of whether this matter is unworthy of the name or ridiculous in Shi Qingran's opinion, just because this apple has been praised by the saint by name, and he also took the royal gold pen to inscribe the plaque, so it is destined to be popular all over the world, and its spread is simple, strong and rapid, even greater than the fame of the new Oiran back then.

In the end, it even developed to the point where it was difficult to find a fruit.

That year, people from all over the country almost stepped through the threshold of Qishan, just to see how the legendary fruit grew.

Shi Qingran asked her brother at that time, "Why do you make apples like this...... Uh, what does it look like? ”

"What's wrong with that?" Shi Xuan shook the folding fan slightly, and took a bite of crispy sweetness slowly.

Shi Qingran was still young at that time, and he spoke like a mallet, so he said bluntly and unceremoniously, "Apples are just apples, no matter how beautiful they are, they are just stuttering, and now this apples that look like flowers are not much better than before, why do those people like it so much, I don't understand." ”

Shi Xuan took the last bite of the pulp, then threw the kernel lightly, and glanced at Shi Qingran with the disgusted eyes that were a little bit "hating iron and not steel", and then seemed to endure it, and said, "It has a name, not called it 'apple that looks like a flower'." ”

"It still has a name?"

"Yes, yes." Shi Xuan raised his eyebrows, and said vainly towards the core of the fruit he had just lost, "This is called 'Red Lotus Falling Old Clothes', and the one in the courtyard is called 'Hibiscus on All Sides'." ”

Shi Qingran laughed to death, and after laughing, he said, "Who gave this name?" It's sour, and it's not goosebumps. ”

Shi Xuan glanced at her indifferently, closed the folding fan with a "hula", and landed firmly in the palm of his hand, saying, "I got up." ”

Shi Qingran immediately choked when he heard the sound, and before he could wipe the tears that came out of his laughter, he choked back to death.

After a long time, she coughed lightly and said dignified and sincerely, "Brother, I think this name is very good, but compared to this, the taste is more important, right?" ”

Now the fruit farmers in Qishan have followed Shi Xuan's example, and they all went home to figure out the new mold, which made the eldest lady, who was only 12 years old, very worried, lest the ancestral inheritance be destroyed in the hands of her unsuccessful brother.

In comparison, Shi Xuan seemed much calmer, and in addition to being calm, he was even a little disdainful.

"Have you read the art of war book I kept in your room?"

Shi Qingran, "......"

This homework check came so unexpectedly that it scared a student who had just skipped class yesterday and almost bit his tongue.

Fang Cai, who was still full of "Seeing my brother's inaction, I am very worried" The eldest lady of the Shi family, who was full of the overall situation, suddenly burst into a layer of fine and dense cold sweat in her palm, and stammered with a big tongue, "Cough, it's not too late." ”

In fact, she wanted to lie very much, but in the face of her brother's two blazing eyes, she struggled and struggled after the lie reached her lips and tongue, and finally rolled back with the cover in embarrassment.

Shi Xuan let out an "oh" clearly, then touched his upper and lower lips, and made a "tsk", and his disdain was even more undisguised, "Then I can't complain that you don't understand." Listen, this is called the way of the soldier, and it is a strategy. It's like a handsome son picking a daughter-in-law, at first glance, he will naturally pick the kind of slender man with slender, eyebrows and eyes, if he is not good-looking enough, he won't even be able to enter the eyes of others——"

Shi Qingran listened very carefully, and hurriedly interrupted, "Not necessarily, maybe there will be people who like that kind of catkins, not all men are as skinny as you-"

Shi Xuan didn't say anything, and glanced over faintly.

"Ahem." Shi Qingran hurriedly changed his words, "Straightforward, straightforward is always okay." ”

Shi Xuan finally couldn't bear it anymore this time, picked up the folding fan and knocked it on her head, "Apples can only make people want to eat apples when they look good." It's the same with people, as long as they are showy, whether they are wise or not, it doesn't matter so much, good-looking women can always get married. Do you get the idea? ”

“...... Got it about. ”
