Chapter 43: The Mysterious Buyer
Ye Yun'er couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly grabbed Ye Shuhua's hand and didn't let her continue to slap herself.
She sighed, "Cousin, I know you've confessed your sins, and that's enough. I forgive you, and you don't have to blame yourself. ”
Ye Shuhua showed a relieved expression, but he still refused to leave, and continued to help hoe the ground, "My father and mother said that I must come to help you for ten days and half a month before I can eliminate my sinful karma." ”
Seeing that she insisted on helping, Ye Yun'er simply stopped her and let her sweat to work.
She looked at Ye Shuhua for a while, and knew that she was only about the same age as herself, and it was also common for young people to do stupid things for their own selfish desires.
If she truly repents, there is no reason for her to pursue it.
Perhaps, the two of them will release their suspicions from now on and become intimate sisters?
Ye Shuhua is not stupid, but after studying for a while, he mastered the essentials of hoeing.
After turning over the ground, she helped Ye Yun'er's family sow seeds and apply fertilizer, and took the initiative to carry a few buckets of water.
Seeing that Ye Shuhua had done so much work for herself, Ye Yun'er's family was much kinder to her.
Li Cuishuang also warmly invited her to eat at home, but Ye Shuhua politely refused.
Li Cui sighed again and again: "This girl is really getting more sensible, I don't know how much better than last year." ”
After half a month, until this round of tomatoes ripened, Ye Shuhua still persevered in coming to help every day, which can be described as doing his best, regardless of remuneration.
She also often talks and laughs with Ye Yun'er, as if she respects Ye Yun'er very much, and she has completely lost her high-spirited appearance when she is young.
Ye Yun'er also unconsciously liked this cousin.
On this day, Ye Shuhua helped Ye Yun'er pick tomatoes, and asked in wonder, intentionally or unintentionally: "Cousin Yun'er, you plant this thing round after round, we are all very strange, where did this kind of seed come from?" ”
Ye Yun'er wanted to keep this secret all the time, for fear that someone would steal the method of keeping seeds and compete with herself, so she easily refused to tell outsiders.
At this moment, seeing Ye Shuhua asking, she just smiled slightly, "The process is cumbersome, and I don't know what to say." ”
Ye Shuhua saw that he couldn't get Ye Yun'er's words, so he said again: "There is a vacant land in my house, and my father and mother really want me to get some tomato seeds back so that they can be planted there." Cousin Yun'er, do you see if you can teach me how to keep seeds? Does it take several days to dry? ”
Ye Yun'er saw that Ye Shuhua was eager to know, and it was not good to continue to pretend to be stupid, so she had to tell her the method of keeping seeds.
Ye Yuner told her that the process of seed retention includes plant selection, ear selection, seed digging, fermentation, washing and preservation, and gave her a detailed explanation one by one.
In the end, Ye Yun'er also said with a smile: "If you know the method of keeping seeds, you can keep some more to plant in your vegetable garden, and maybe you can sell them in the market?" ”
"Cousin Yun'er's heart is so good, she is willing to share it so that we can follow you." Although Ye Shuhua said this verbally, she sneered again and again in her heart, without the slightest gratitude to Ye Yun'er.
Her goal has been achieved, so naturally there is no need to continue to help Ye Yun'er's family, so she simply shirks something at home and leaves in a hurry.
She couldn't wait to get to the town and entered the Yuqiong Restaurant.
Ye Shuhua relayed the method of seed retention that Ye Yuner told him to shopkeeper Li.
The more the shopkeeper Li listened, the more excited he became, and finally high-fived and smiled: "Haha, let me get this recipe, see if I don't plant it hundreds of acres, let the market of tomatoes belong to me!" ”
Shopkeeper Li's ambition shocked Ye Shuhua, but she couldn't stop snickering in her heart.
After all, Ye Yun'er couldn't be complacent anymore.
Shopkeeper Li really lived up to her expectations and gave her a reward of ten taels of silver.
Ye Yun'er learned that there was leased land in the village, so she came over to inquire non-stop.
The other party knew that Ye Yun'er's family had made a lot of money because of growing tomatoes, so he slightly increased the rental price, asking for 1,200 yuan per mu every year, that is, more than one or two silver.
Ye Yun'er saw that the price couldn't be pulled down no matter what, so she had to rely on the other party.
They had a total of two acres of land, and Ye Yun'er gave them nearly five taels of silver to rent for two years.
This land was not far from their original three acres of land, and Boss Gu volunteered to take this land with them to guard it, which also saved them a lot of trouble.
Ye Yun'er saw that this summer was about to pass, and after autumn, tomatoes would not be able to grow. At most, they will only be able to plant three or four more rounds.
So, she hurriedly planted the seeds.
Before the stubble was ripe, a man came to her and began to negotiate a deal with her.
This man looks ordinary, as if he is the head of a large family, but he only talks about business, and does not mention who the owner's family is.
Ye Yun'er didn't care about these either, and when she heard him say that she wanted to buy all the tomatoes on the two acres of land for ten cents per catty, she was suddenly overjoyed and sold them to him without hesitation.
She didn't expect that the tomatoes would be so easy to sell, and the other party didn't even negotiate the price, so she just bought it at a high price.
She only thought that the other party had a way to sell it at a higher price, but she was suspicious for a while and put the matter behind her.
On this day, as soon as another round of tomato seeds was planted, she heard the news that shocked her.
When Li Cuishuang came back from the market, he ran to the field anxiously and said to Ye Yun'er: "Yun'er, I went to the market, and I heard many people tell me that others are also imitating us to plant this tomato!" ”
Ye Yun'er was slightly stunned, "Who is it?" ”
"I heard that it is the Yuqiong Restaurant on the same street as the Zuixiao Tower." Li Cuishuang tried his best to recall the rumors he heard, "Then Shopkeeper Li not only opened a few restaurants, but also a landlord, with hundreds of acres of land under his hands. I heard that he put this tomato one is hundreds of acres! ”
Ye Yun'er became more and more surprised, and blurted out, "Where did he get the tomato seeds?" ”
Suddenly, she thought of something.
The mysterious buyer who bought two acres of tomatoes from her not long ago, and Ye Shuhua, who has evaporated from the world since he got the method of keeping seeds...... These memories flashed in her heart, and gradually overlapped and connected.
The fog was lifted, but it was chilling.
Thinking that they had joined forces and staged a good show in their own place, and unknowingly stole the method of keeping the tomatoes, Ye Yun'er was angry, clenched her fingers little by little, and her lips were also tightened.
"Yun'er, are you okay?" Li Cuishuang saw that her face was not good, and asked worriedly.
Ye Yun'er was afraid that her mother would be worried, so she took a deep breath and said with relief: "Mother, I'm fine." ”
But the resentment and unwillingness in her heart are known only to herself.
