Chapter 112: Inquiring
"Zhao Gongzi also tried to grow round melons." Jin Mo was taken aback, but he didn't expect him to think of going with her.
"Yes, I'm ashamed to say that I didn't succeed." He asked people to try several times, and each time it ended in failure, after a long time, even he himself knew that he would not succeed, and finally had to give up, and after knowing that Zhong Niangzi could grow it, the hope of extinguishing was rekindled. "I know that you have grown round melons, so I don't come to ask for advice."
"In this case, then I will take Zhao Gongzi to my family's field first, maybe I can understand a little." It's just a round melon, just teach him the method, and thank them for their insight, if they are tied to the relationship with Shiweixuan, if they encounter something at home in the future, they can also rely on Shiweixuan to help solve it.
You can't go far just by relying on your own road, and you have to rely on friends when you go out, besides, even if Zhao Gongzi grows round melons, it must be in the capital, and there is a difference of 108,000 miles from her, she still has a big market, and she doesn't have to worry about not making money.
"Okay." Since he came to ask for advice with an open mind, what does it matter if he goes to the field, during the time when he planted round melons in the capital, he often went to the field to see, and he was not disgusted at all when Jin Mo proposed.
Jin Mo brought a hat and led Zhao Jingtang to his own field.
When Zhong Dashan arrived in the field, he soon welcomed two guests who bought round melons, he stayed in the small room to chat with the guests, and the steward asked people to pick round melons.
Originally, there was no house on this side of the land, or Jin Mo later proposed, there were many people who bought things, and it was impossible to run all of them home, so they simply built a simple thatched hut on the ground, and the guests could go in to rest, and when the round melon was loaded, they could leave directly, without going around in a big circle, and it was also convenient for the people who kept vigil at night to have a place to live.
So for some money, three thatched huts were quickly built, with everything they needed, no different from a home.
"Dashan, your daughter-in-law is here." The villagers who were loading the car outside the door saw Jin Mo leading people over and shouted loudly in the direction of the house.
Zhong Dashan, who was chatting for a day, heard the word daughter-in-law, said a word to the guest, and went out of the house.
At a glance, he recognized the person next to his daughter-in-law, it turned out to be Zhao Gongzi, the owner of Shiweixuan, why did he come over at this time?
Doubts are doubts, the steps under his feet are not small at all, and a few strides came to Jin Mo's side, "Daughter-in-law, Zhao Gongzi." ”
"Xianggong, Zhao Gongzi wants to come and see how our round melons are grown, so I brought him over." Jin Mo simply told Zhong Dashan the intention of Zhao Gongzi.
"Zhong Xianggong, are you free now, can you take me to the field to have a look?" Zhao Gongzi nodded to Zhong Dashan.
"Yes, does Zhao Gongzi want to change his clothes?" Zhong Dashan saw the clothes Zhao Jingtang was wearing, restrained the steps he had just taken, and proposed.
"It's fine, just a piece of clothing." He doesn't dislike wearing other people's clothes, so it's better not to change them.
"Zhao Gongzi doesn't mind, then please here." He just reminded him that out of good intentions, Zhao Gongzi was unwilling, and he would not be reluctant, so he led Zhao Jingtang to the field, and Jin Mo also went with him.
Zhao Jingtang followed the Zhong family and his wife into the round melon field, and observed very carefully, this round melon was planted in the sand and dry land, and he had also planted it, so why didn't he succeed, but they succeeded? The land doesn't make much of a difference, right?
"Zhong Xianggong, when did you plant it? How is it fertilized? "Zhao Jingtang has a lot of questions to ask now.
"In July this year, the fertilization was just like ordinary vegetables, and there was no deliberate care." It's true that he didn't deliberately take care of it, after planting the round melon seedlings, he didn't care about it, because he didn't have hope at the beginning, and he felt that it was like that in his heart, he went to see it every few days, and found that those seedlings were alive, and then he watered it several times with the spiritual water in his daughter-in-law's space, until now he has made a lot of money.
"It's only been three months since July, right?" Zhao Jingtang thought that there was something wrong with his ears, but he didn't think it was real, and it would blossom and bear fruit in three months, which was too fast.
"yes, I don't know the specifics, it's just like vegetables."
"Leave some seeds for me next year, and I'll take them to the capital and try them again." And he did not believe it, they could sow it, but they could not sow it themselves.
"That's no problem, we're going to plant it next year, and we'll definitely have seedlings." No, just a few seedlings are not a big deal at all, and worthless things are given when they are given.
"Okay, good, I won't take your money in vain, and I'll count the money with you when the time comes."
"Zhao Gongzi, why are we acquaintances, but they are just a few seedlings, which makes us seem to be people who see money." Zhong Dashan refused to let Zhao Jingtang give money, everything has to be measured by money, and it is boring to be a man.
"Okay, then you're welcome." Zhao Jingtang said with a smile.
After talking, Jin Mo took Zhao Jingtang home, while Zhong Dashan stayed in the field to collect the accounts, and then went home after collecting the accounts.
"What's so fragrant?" Zhao Jingtang had been focusing on the round melon before, and he didn't notice that there was a fragrance left in the air, but he was in a good mood at this time, and he was naturally able to notice this fragrance.
"My family's mixed sugar mooncakes, isn't this about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'll make some mooncakes myself and sell them." Jin Mo said with a smile.
"Mixed sugar moon cakes, what moon cakes, the name is quite fresh, what is it made of." Zhao Jingtang was also fascinated by this aroma, and wanted to know what was the difference between this mooncake and other mooncakes.
"Made of brown sugar, flour, sesame oil, sesame seeds. This should have just come out of the oven, do you want to try it? ”
"Of course." He must not miss this bell lady.
asked Zhao Jingtang to wait in the flower hall for a while, and then he went into the kitchen, took a few months of cakes and cut them, and put them out after placing them.
"Zhao Gongzi, this is a mixed sugar mooncake, you can taste it." Jin Mo placed the mixed sugar mooncake in Zhao Jingtang's hand, as long as he raised his hand, he could get it.
Zhao Jingtang picked up a bamboo skewer and inserted a small piece of moon cake into his mouth, swallowed it in one bite, and then inserted several pieces in a row, and ate with a satisfied face.
"Mrs. Zhong, this moon cake is delicious, soft and suitable, sweet but not greasy, suitable for all ages." There are a lot of moon cake fillings in the shop, but the taste is sweet and a little greasy, and he feels almost the same after eating half of it, unlike this, he can eat several in one go.
"If you like, I'll ask Aunt Wu to wrap it for you when you leave." Jin Mo directly said to send him.
"That's embarrassing."
"What's so embarrassing, don't worry about your own food."
"Thank you in advance." Zhao Jingtang inserted several pieces of moon cakes to eat, and almost felt that his stomach was a little stretched before stopping.
After eating, Zhao Jingtang sent the shopkeeper Lu away, and he stayed at the Zhong family.
The Li family
The housekeeper's efficiency was still quite fast, and in less than two hours, he hurriedly went to Master Li's study, knocked on the door, and said, "Master." ”
After Mr. Li sent his mother back to her courtyard, he went to the study and waited anxiously for the results.
When he heard a knock on the door, he immediately asked the butler to enter the study.
"Butler, have you heard?" Master Li asked anxiously.
"Master, I inquired, there are three places with the surname Zhong, and the person who is most in line with what Zhao's mother said should be from Zhongjia Village, which one is it, you can only know when you get it." The housekeeper inquired about himself and told Master Li to see how the master decided.
"Prepare the carriage and go to Zhongjia Village now." First come, first served, set the amount needed with them, and he doesn't worry about others taking the lead.
"Yes, sir." The housekeeper guessed the master's thoughts, and had already asked the stables to prepare the carriage, and the master could set off at any time if he wanted to.
The carriage headed all the way to Yangping Town, a small town to the north.
Now that the carriage has entered Zhongjia Village, everyone has long been accustomed to it, and without that curiosity, now everyone who comes and goes every day can see the carriage, and rare things have become not rare.
When he arrived at the gate of Zhongjia Village, the coachman stopped the carriage, saw that there were children and old people gathered there under the locust tree, and said to the car: "Master, I have arrived at Zhongjia Village." ”
"The housekeeper is going to ask who sells the mooncakes?"
"Yes, sir."
The housekeeper jumped out of the carriage and beckoned to the children not far away, and the children ran towards him one after another, and the children thought that he was also looking for Zhong Dashan's family, "Who are you looking for?" Come buy round melons? ”
"I don't buy round melons, I want to ask if you sell mooncakes?" The butler distributed the candy cubes in his hand to the children present.
The younger ones were already drooling when they saw the candy, but they didn't get their hands on it, but looked at a few older children.
The older ones shook their heads, and the children bit their fingers in a daze.
"Here, take it, it's okay." The housekeeper was a little embarrassed, he was stuck for the first time, as soon as the things were taken out in the past, they had already flocked to them, and they were snatched up, how could they behave like this.
"We don't eat it, I don't know who will make moon cakes, do you want to go to Uncle Dashan's house and ask, maybe it's their house." The biggest one knows a lot and understands a lot, if you want to say that there are more people selling things in the village, there are more, but it is Uncle Dashan's family who sells well, and there are so many changes in the village because of them.
"How do I get to his house?"
"It's easy to find, do you see that little building? There you are. The boy pointed to the small building far away.
The housekeeper looked in the direction of the boy's finger, ah, there is really a small building, how can a small building be built in the countryside.
"Thank you, this is for you." The butler stuffed all the sugar cubes in his hand into the boy's arms, and without giving the boy a chance to stuff them back, he turned around and jumped into the carriage, and told the coachman to drive away quickly.
After walking for a while, the carriage stopped at the door of Zhong Dashan's house, the housekeeper helped Master Li get out of the carriage, standing at the door, Master Li gasped, is this the wrong place, can live in such a big house, and will go to take a small business, Master Li asked the housekeeper suspiciously: "Butler, is there no mistake?" ”
