Chapter 281: Finale (1)
The sweet and sour grapes spread quickly in the mouth, causing several people to exclaim for the first time. This grape looks sweet and juicy, but I didn't expect it to be such a charming taste.
"It's called Portuguese ...... Grape? Well, it tastes very good, speaking of which, it is the first time that the mourning family has eaten such a delicious fruit. This Chenjia Village is really good, there is so much fresh food. ”
"Yes, Queen Mother, thanks to you, the old slave has the opportunity to taste such a delicious fresh fruit. But the old slave now understands why so many outsiders are willing to come here to play. ”
"This grape is so delicious, I don't know what this watermelon tastes like. It's red, and it's very festive to look at. Well, you eat it quickly, it's too sweet, don't be sweet grapes, and it has a lot of aroma. ”
As she spoke, the Queen Mother had already eaten several slices. Fortunately, the watermelon is thinly sliced, and now that the weather is hot, it doesn't hurt to eat a few more slices.
On the other hand, the emperor and empress's watermelons were chilled in the well water. The two of them were already sweating while soaking in the hot springs, but now when they eat this watermelon, it is so beautiful that they can't find the north, which makes Father-in-law Xu, who is waiting outside, very unhappy.
He had already mentioned it to a few people in Taozhi County a few times, trying not to offer those strange melons and fruits. Otherwise, when it comes often, these masters want to eat on a whim, where will he find it?
However, the reason for the people is very sufficient, saying that this is a new fruit from Chenjia Village, and only the queen mother and the emperor and empress are qualified to taste it in the world.
But in fact, Ye Feng and a few of them had already eaten it. He didn't do it because he had some "ulterior" motives.
In Ye Feng's opinion, the Empress Dowager was happy to see that he had this ability, and maybe he would take out other new seeds in the court and reward him. In this way, he can grow more novel crops and fruits.
Afraid of something, Gong'e and Gonggong Xu, who were waiting outside, heard the emperor say: "Queen, these grapes and watermelons are so delicious, I just don't know if they can be grown in the capital." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubines have heard that oranges are born in Huainan, and oranges are oranges in Huaibei. If you want to come to the world's farming, this is the truth. I just don't know what this watermelon and grapes will be like when they arrive in the capital. ”
"What are you afraid of, I'll ask Bai Aiqing when I come down, there is one of his subordinates who knows a lot about farming, and I think he knows this. Ah, speaking of which, there are still a few new seeds in the storehouse, and when the time comes, I will reward this Chenjia Village together. ”
In the distance, there are gorgeous red glows, patches of green trees, and in the near distance, smoking hot springs, beauties, and fruits.
The emperor was drunk.
Gonggong Xu was not very happy, but a few in Baizhi County were very happy. It can be seen that this trip to Chenjia Village was very smooth, and they are waiting for the reward.
Sure enough, the next day, the emperor and the queen mother looked refreshed. Especially the Queen Mother, it is estimated that she has walked too much and soaked in hot springs, and even the problem of insomnia that has always been cured, is it possible to sleep and sleep well.
Early in the morning, when she heard the chirping of birds outside, she realized that it was already dawn. And the emperor and queen were sitting outside chatting. Hearing that the Queen Mother had woken up, several people from Baizhi County brought up the food they had been preparing.
These were all just bought in the new commercial street. Anyway, it's very close.,Just take it up.,The picture is a fresh.。
In this way, several people had another excellent breakfast.
"Father-in-law Xu, go and call Bai Aiqing in for me, I have something to ask him." After speaking, he sent the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother away. The two said that the two azaleas next to the hot spring were blooming very well, and they wanted to go there to sit and chat.
Bai Zhixian, who was summoned, was not panicked at all, although he didn't know what he was going to do, but it would definitely not be a punishment. It can be seen that the emperor and several people are very happy.
"Aiqing, can you plant those watermelons and grapes in the capital?"
"Back to the emperor, the watermelon is not good, because the capital is colder, not as warm as here. However, grapes are fine. Weichen had already ordered someone to prepare a few pots, and when the emperor returned to Beijing, he would bring them back. ”
This is also the rhetoric that Ye Feng has taught a long time ago.
In fact, theoretically speaking, watermelons can also be grown in the capital, but Ye Feng does not want to go to the capital. He has hidden such hard work over the years, but he doesn't want to be ruined because of this.
Now, he can plant alone, and the grapes are just gone. But watermelons are not good, they need to be planted once a year.
Hearing this, the emperor was a little disappointed, but when he heard that Bai Zhixian was ready, he was happy again. This person is good, he can think about everything in front, but he saves himself a lot of trouble.
"Okay, it's still thoughtful. In this way, there are still some new seeds in the storehouse, and when they return to Beijing, they will be rewarded and let them try to plant them. However, the watermelons and grapes are excellent, so that people can grow well, and when the conditions are ripe, they are launched in the right places, and there is no mistake. ”
Hearing this, Bai Zhixian naturally agreed. However, neither he nor Tao Zhixian is in a hurry. After all, the emperor said that when the conditions were ripe, he did not say that it would be implemented immediately.
With this sentence, they Qingshan County can monopolize it for a few more years.
However, now that he has a few new seeds, Ye Feng's kid must be happy to death. He was so amazing that he even predicted it.
In this way, after playing for a few more days, the emperor and his entourage were ready to return to Beijing. It's just that as soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, he saw the apricot blossoms that couldn't be seen, and saw the words "Chenjia Village" written on the plaque, and the emperor was stunned.
After thinking about it, he said: "This village is so good, and apricot trees are planted all over the place, but it is a little cheesy to call it Chenjia Village." In this way, I will call the shots and change it to Xinghua Village. ”
Hearing this, Tao Zhixian was overjoyed, and hurriedly complimented: "What the emperor said is true." It is an honor for the emperor to give the name to the Chenjia Village. ”
"Well, I'll do it when I come down. I'm just waiting to come back next spring to see the apricot blossoms and fireworks in the sky. ”
After saying that, he immediately got out of the car and left his Mobao.
As soon as the emperor and his entourage left, someone immediately went to the city with the emperor's handwritten imperial book to frame an extremely delicate plaque, and immediately hung it up.
Suddenly, the news that the emperor personally gave the name of Chenjia Village and wrote it in his own hand spread throughout Qingshan County. Within three days, the whole country knew about it.
Chenjia Village is now called Xinghua Village. I have to say that this grade has improved a lot in an instant. Those outsiders who were hesitant to come and play in the past are now completely hesitant.
Even the emperor and the queen mother admired the place, they naturally wanted to take a look. Especially those spots, which are also definitely worth seeing.
Although I can't see such honorable people as the emperor and the queen mother, it's still okay to see the scenery they have seen and eat the food they have tasted.
In this way, after the emperor and his entourage walked for about a month, Chenjia Village ushered in a blowout of tourists, one after another, until the longevity fruit ripened, and it was never broken.
Correspondingly, Chenjia Village's economic income has increased by another notch, and it has reached a terrible figure. It can be seen that Tao Zhixian is greedy, but he doesn't dare to make any small moves.
Take Fan's maiden brother as an example, such a small shop is just selling some fried goods, but the income has reached a terrifying figure. When business was good, the Fan family couldn't keep busy at all. In addition, the Fan family also had to do some small business himself, so he simply took his family over to help.
Now, with the assistance of Fan's family, they have purchased a large villa in Qingzhu Village, which is extremely convenient to go back and forth to work.
Of course, there are still a few people in Fan's mother's family who work in the workshop. In this way, it is suddenly a lot more convenient.
And the reward that several people in Baizhi County asked for also came down.
First of all, several people in Baizhi County were promoted to the next level as they wished. Especially Tao Zhixian, who originally thought that he was hopeless in his life, but he encountered such a good opportunity, and he was promoted directly without going through the big exam.
And the newly appointed Hu Zhi County, under the "education" of Tao Zhi County, also knew the importance of being an official here, and still did not dare to make any small moves. As for a "relation" like Ye Feng, he had already inquired about it, so he took good care of it.
Secondly, Ye Feng, the new seed he had in mind was also successfully obtained. Although he lost a few of his best-growing grapes last time, he was able to get a few new seeds in the blink of an eye.
At first glance, it was all fruit.
There are grapefruits, kiwis, and loquats, but there are no crops. That's fine, if it's really a crop, then it's linked to the imperial court. And these fruits are just food, and they have nothing to do with national strength, but they are not in the way.
In the past few years, the money bags of the villagers of Chenjia Village have swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye. There are many families who have thousands of taels of silver in their families, and Chen Jike's family is naturally no exception.
His family originally fed two sows that were particularly capable of giving birth, and he could get by just feeding the pigs. Now, the village has dividends every year, and he can still do some small business, so life is getting better and better.
No, the low and dilapidated mud-walled thatched huts at home have long been gone, replaced by villas with a unified style in the village. In addition, due to Zhou's strength, they booked a set at the internal price when the big shops in the new commercial street were first launched, and now, they are also people with shops.
And the two sons also married their mothers-in-law successively. Coincidentally, although the eldest daughter-in-law has been in the door for a year, she has never been pregnant. However, when the second daughter-in-law was pregnant, she was also pregnant, which can be regarded as double happiness.
However, Chen Jike is not so happy, because he still has an old thing to complete, that is, to find his long-lost daughter Chen Qianqin.
In the evening, after the family had dinner and sat under the eaves to enjoy the coolness, Chen Jike said: "Boss, second, you all come out." By the way, go and call my daughter-in-law out, I have something to say. ”
Zhou was washing the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and just after washing the last bowl, he heard Chen Jike shouting like this, and his heart "chuckled". She's a man, and she's naturally the one who knows best.
I don't say a word for half a day on weekdays, but now like this, there must be something important to say. And that's all there is to it when it comes to this family.
Ay......
However, the eldest Chen Qiangen and the second Chen Qianmu didn't know this, and when they saw Chen Jike cutting the newly bought watermelon there with a knife, they thought they were asking them to come out to eat the watermelon.
If it weren't for the fact that this watermelon is not cheap, if it weren't for the fact that they were locals, they wouldn't have been able to buy it at all, let alone get the internal price. Due to the limited production, this year is the first year to sell to the outside world, and now, this big green melon has risen to seven taels of silver a catty.
Rao is like this, and he can't buy it at all.
The person who is pregnant is more sensitive than others, and the nose is the same. Asked about the taste, plus the man was shouting to himself, and the two daughters-in-law walked out.
When the whole family was seated, Chen Jike said: "Come, you guys eat watermelon while listening to me." ”
When the eldest daughter-in-law Li and the second daughter-in-law Cha heard this, they were not restrained, and immediately picked up a piece of watermelon and began to eat it. They are now pregnant and are the focus of the family's protection, but no one will say anything.
Anyway, there are no outsiders, there is no etiquette or anything.
However, the two thought the same, that is, the father-in-law is so "grand" today, and he thinks that he is going to open a shop. The shop has been sitting on it since I got it and renovated it.
It's a pity.
Some time ago, the family was happily preparing to sell some food, but because they were both pregnant, they had to continue to put this plan on hold. With two helpers missing, it's somewhat inconvenient.
Now the artificial death is expensive. For example, people who help in general are only ten cents a day elsewhere, which is not bad. But they're good here, no one wants to help without sixty dollars a day.
When people go to work in the workshop, they are 50 wen a day, and they also have food and lodging. At the end of the year, what kind of benefit is there, that is, to give out some food, which is not much better than helping in the shop.
"You're all too young to know that. Speaking of which, this is also a past in our family. You also have a sister named Qianqin, who is very beautiful and smart......
Hearing this, both the Li family and the Cha family put down the watermelon, because they saw Chen Jike crying. Although there was no sound, the tears flowed down one by one, and they couldn't be stopped at all.
"Dad, you mean we still have a sister? Mother, what's going on? ”
Chen Qiangen and Chen Qianmu were still young at that time, and the Zhou family deliberately didn't talk about it over the years, so they forgot about it.
"Yes, you still have a sister. But she was unblessed, and was abducted by Hanako when she was two years old. I guess it was sold to other places, but we couldn't find it after looking for so many years. ”
For this daughter, Zhou's feelings are complicated. I hope to be able to find it back and live with my family, but I also hope that Chen Jike can give up and don't look for it again.
Such a big girl, she is twenty-one this year. It is estimated that they have already married, so what can they do if they find it?
Besides, a little girl with such a sign, who knows what she has experienced outside all these years. If she was really going to be sold to such a dirty place, she wouldn't dare to admit it for the sake of her family's reputation.
As if guessing what Zhou was thinking, Chen Jike continued: "Your sister is twenty-one years old this year, twenty-one. In the past, your mother and I also looked for it, but we couldn't find it. And because I want to support the two of you, I don't have time or money. Now, I've decided to go out and find her. ”
Although they were dissatisfied, Li and Cha did not dare to speak out against it. And they have such big bellies now, if they leave the Zhou family, won't they have to do everything by themselves?
Zhou was also a little surprised by Chen Jike's sudden decision, and subconsciously objected: "God, why don't you discuss such a big matter with me." And now that the two children are pregnant and we are gone, what are they going to do? ”
"What to do? Four people, so big, there is no reason to starve to death without the old man! That is, in our village, we don't have to work in the fields all day. Try it somewhere else, can it be like this? ”
Hearing that the two began to argue, the four of them had already entered the house.
However, Chen Qianmu listened to it and felt that what Chen Jike said was very reasonable. They don't have to do anything now, just make some food, which is easy to think about.
Thinking of this, no matter what Zhou thought, Chen Qianmu walked out and said to Chen Jike: "Dad, you and your mother go out to find it, and my brother and sister-in-law and I will stay at home." You can rest assured that we can take care of ourselves. ”
Anyway, now the government across the country is supporting the fight against abduction, and I think that no matter where my father and mother go, they will be received. Besides, if it's really inconvenient to cook food, you can also go to the shopping street to eat.
Seeing this, Cha Shi breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that Chen Qianmu would say that she would go with her father-in-law, leaving her and Zhou at home.
If that's the case, it's better to go along.
Although Zhou is very easy to get along with, there is a layer of separation in the end. And she actually hesitated to go to her sister-in-law, which shows that she is still a little cold.
Such a person is a little scary.
Hearing this, Zhou said, "Okay, I'll go with you." It's just that, in a few days, I'm going to make arrangements at home. ”
Chen Jike listened, and then he became happy. After waiting for so many years, he can finally go out to find his daughter. Now I have money in my hand, but I am not afraid. It's a big deal, come back and sell the shop, and then look for it.
That shop cost more than 800 taels when it was bought, and now it has sold for more than 2,000 taels. If you sell it, you can make two or three times as much.
In the next few days, Zhou taught his two daughters-in-law to cook and cook. Since the two of them knew how to do it, they didn't need to be taught at all, they would be able to look at it. In the end, I was still not at ease, so I begged her sister Da Zhou again, saying that she would let her come and see every once in a while to help her.
In this regard, the Great Zhou clan is naturally willing. I couldn't find a reason to stay here before, but now I have an excuse. Anyway, she came here to help, and she didn't eat and live for nothing, so no one would say anything.
After hearing about this, Ye Feng asked Huzhi County to help, ventilated several nearby counties, and promised to make it convenient for Chen Jike and his wife. He also helped write thousands of leaflets for the two to take with them.
In this way, with enough silver, the two of them set out on their way.
Due to the rusty craftsmanship and the competition between Li and Cha, the quality of the meal that night can be imagined.
However, Da Zhou was also a positive person, and the next day he brought his daughter over to stay, and made a rich lunch for a few people, successfully blocking their mouths.
Anyway, the ingredients are complete, and the oil and meat are used casually, so it's no wonder that the dishes made in this way are not delicious. And what they don't know is that the Da Zhou family also has a purpose, that is, her daughter Lihong has always admired Chen Qianmu.
It's a pity that after mentioning it a few times, the Zhou family said that the village had publicized it, and it was not good for close relatives to get married, and said that Chen Qianmu himself had someone he liked, and it was inconvenient for them to interfere. In this way, Da Zhou's heart fell through.
Well, now that woman is pregnant, but it is a rare opportunity.
What's wrong with being small, it's right to be able to live a good life.
On the other side, very close to Qingshan County, Stone Fort in Liusha Town, Liusha County, where Chen Qianqin was suffering. For more than ten years, she has been living like this.
The family's surname is Qin, and the family conditions are not good, and they often eat the last meal without the next meal. No, Hu is a "visionary", knowing that his precious son will definitely not be able to marry his mother-in-law if this continues, so he went to the famous Liu Huazi in the town more than ten years ago to buy a baby girl for five taels of silver.
To say that although this baby girl is only more than two years old, she is a beauty at first glance, and she will definitely be beautiful when she grows up, and she will not disgrace her baby son. Therefore, like picking an animal, she looked at Chen Qianqin's teeth, took off her clothes and conducted a full body examination, and then paid the silver.
This is their family's child daughter-in-law, who wants to pass on the ancestry, and he spent five taels of silver, but he doesn't have to be careful, and he can't buy a dark disease back.
As a result, when she bought this girl and came back, Hu Shi had a body again. In this way, although she was only more than two years old, Chen Qianqin began her career as a "female slave" for more than ten years.
From washing clothes at the beginning, serving tea and water, to cooking rice and feeding pigweed, and then working in the field in the back, Chen Qianqin simply does everything. said that Ye and Li Sanjin were tired, it was because there was no comparison.
Compared with the two, Chen Qianqin is simply living in hell.
Rao is like this, working hard, but she is the worst person in the family. Everyone eats cakes and drinks porridge, but she can only eat pickles and porridge with no rice in the soup. The clothes they wore were also left over from Hu's two precious sons.
said that she was a child daughter-in-law, but she didn't know, and thought that the black and thin Chen Qianqin was a kid, or that their family bought a little maid to serve people.
When Chen Qianqin reached the age of fifteen, the Hu family was in charge and let her have a house with her eldest son Qin Wanming. This made Qin Wanshui, who had always liked Chen Qianqin, feel uncomfortable. Who called this his eldest brother's child daughter-in-law, even if he wanted to rob it, he wouldn't dare.
When two daughters were born, Hu's face turned completely black. originally looked very good to give birth to, but unexpectedly only gave birth to two money-losing goods.
Moreover, she can also see the second son's thoughts, and she has always liked this sassy woman. Several times, she also saw the second child staring at Chen Qianqin in a daze.
After thinking about it, anyway, there is no money in my family to help the second child marry his mother-in-law, so it is better to learn those practices in the mountains and let Chen Qianqin serve his two sons. Anyway, it's all their family's species, so it's not a loss.
Therefore, Hu relied on the fact that he was his mother-in-law, so he told Qin Wanming about it.
This Qin Wanming can also be regarded as bloody, so he immediately refused. However, the Hu family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, crying, making trouble and hanging himself, saying that Qin Wanshui is pitiful for a while, and saying that he has no face to go to see his ancestors and ancestors, which makes Qin Wanming very irritable.
made such a big move, Chen Qianqin naturally knew about it. It's just that, like Qin Wanming, it is impossible for her to agree to Hu's request. This kind of thing is simply ridiculous to say, if she agrees, she will not be able to be a person in the village in the future.
She had heard of what was done in the mountains, but there was no such thing in this village. Besides, Qin Wanshui is not the only one in the village who beats singles, why did the Hu family ask her to do this!?
Was it just because she gave birth to two daughters, or because she had been bought to serve them since she was a child......
