Chapter 44: Strawberry Seeds
Su Heting took a pear and threw it in his hand, "Actually, there is no difference in taste, isn't it?" ”
"Yes," Yuan Ning was very frank, "I am selling the only one!" Who makes it impossible for others to produce such fruit! ”
Su Heting smiled, "Very good." ”
The two of them briefly talked for a few words, and then continued to pick the fruit.
When Bo Zhong came, the fruits in the orchard were all picked, a total of thirteen baskets.
Su Heting helped transport the five baskets of fruits to the remaining ones on the edge of the forest, and he promised that he would find someone to send them.
Yuan Ning was embarrassed, "I have to give you some thanks, right?" ”
"That's not necessary," Su Heting waved his hand, "but I want to suggest you plant some persimmons or something, there are a few types of fruit trees in your forest." ”
Yuan Ning sighed, "I was weak before, so let's talk about it later." If she could bring in apples, she would like to grow some apple trees.
Su Heting thought for a while and said, "I have a friend who came back from overseas last year and brought back some rare seeds, which no one can recognize, and he hurried away without telling me what to do with them.
"Nowadays, the DPRK is not very close to overseas contact, and it is very difficult to communicate, so if you want to know the specific situation, you need to wait for his next return.
But he was uninhibited, and his return date was undecided. If you're brave enough to try, I can give you some seeds. ”
In this regard, Yuan Ning was very interested, and reached out to beg, "What about the seeds?" ”
"I only have some with me," Su Heting reached out and took out a small paper bag from his purse and handed it over, "You see." I've found someone to test it, and it's non-toxic. ”
Yuan Ning opened the paper bag and looked at it, his eyes lit up, this is clearly a strawberry!
She quietly rewrapped the paper bag and shook her head, "You don't know you, and of course I don't know either, but I can try to grow one." ”
Su Heting nodded, "I'll give you the other seeds another day." ”
Yuan Ning nodded and agreed, she could take this strawberry seed home and try to plant one, but I heard that the strawberries bred by the seeds would not bear fruit back then, and even if they were, there would not be many fruits.
Anyway, it's nice to see strawberries in this place.
She was ready to go home and planted.
Zhang Ergou came over to help carry the fruit to the car, and sent the two sisters and brothers to the county seat to set up a stall.
This time, Yuanning's five baskets of fruits were about to be sold out, and the follow-up fruits were delivered.
However, there was no delay in the sale.
As August 15 approaches, more and more people are buying fruits.
Originally, people didn't like to buy pears very much, after all, the homonym of pears is "away", which is not a good luck.
But Yuan Ning stubbornly packaged pears with the meaning of "smooth" and "sick", not to mention those pears with auspicious meanings.
So she's selling very fast here.
Yesterday the young man also came over, and when he saw that she had reserved half a basket of pears, he was very happy and asked how many more had auspicious meanings.
Yuan Ning was a little embarrassed, "There is only such a basket left." I didn't expect this year's fruit to be so popular...... There is no more at home, and if you still want it, you can only wait until next year. ”
The young man sighed for a long time and said, "Well, you can remember, I am a guy from the king of Chengnan, if you have such fruit next year, we will book three baskets, one basket with auspicious meanings, and two baskets of ordinary ones." ”
"Okay!" Yuan Ning happily agreed.
Because she said that this was the last time she would sell, and she raised the price slightly, and few people bargained for it.
At dusk, all the fruits were sold, and Lin Yue helped to exchange the silver, and a total of fifteen taels and two hundred and thirty-five wen were received today.
In this way, relying on the fruit forest alone has already earned more than thirty taels of silver!
This is a huge amount of money for the current poor family!
Yuan Ning made up his mind, and next year he would use the money to buy a few acres of high-quality fertile land, and continue to develop his ramie business on the basis of ensuring that he had no worries about food and clothing.
Of course, the fruit business can't be given up, and if others want to learn, it will be at least two or three years later, and she still has two or three years of profiteering.
When others learned what she was doing, she figured out other ways.
After closing the stall, he went home happily.
On the way, Zhang Ergou asked, "Will you come back tomorrow?"
"I'm not coming," Yuan Ning shook his head, "our fruit is about to be sold out, and there is still a little bit left, and we are going to keep it for ourselves." ”
Zhang Ergou nodded, "Save some flowers in the future," this time he was quite happy to see that the two sisters and brothers didn't buy anything, "If there is any shortage, tell the villagers, the big guy can help you a little bit." ”
Yuan Ning didn't make a sound, but Bo Zhong sneered coldly and said, "Uncle, how difficult it was for us when my father and mother just died, the whole village saw it, right?" But who helped us a little? ”
This thick resentment!
Zhang Ergou was taken aback, and Ai Ai said: "Actually, the villagers have no choice but to ...... There are so many people in your clan, and they have taken care of everything, won't we offend people if we interfere again? ”
What's more, at that time, the clansmen also involved the matter of caring for silver.
Bo Zhong is still resentful. However, he did not speak again at the signal of Yuan Ning.
Yuan Ning apologized to Zhang Ergou first: "Uncle, my younger brother is not sensible, don't be like him." ”
"I know," Zhang Ergou sighed, "the big guys also understand!" ”
The two sisters and brothers stopped talking, and Zhang Ergou also concentrated on catching the car.
It was dark early at this time, and when they went out of the city gate, the sun was still hanging on the western mountain, and after walking for a while, the sun went down, but it was not too dark between heaven and earth.
But halfway through, the night had completely covered the earth.
The temperature has also dropped dramatically.
Bo Zhong squeezed to Yuan Ning's side and whispered, "Sister, I'm cold." ”
"It's okay," Yuan Ning stretched out his arms and held him in his arms, "Don't sleep, keep insisting, and go home soon." ”
Ox carts go slower.
Later, Yuan Ning himself felt cold, so he discussed it with Zhang Ergou, and the sister and brother got out of the car and ran for a while.
As soon as I exercised like this, I dispelled most of the chill in my body.
Zhang Ergou looked at their appearance, and simply got out of the car himself and walked on the ground.
Later, when it was darker and he couldn't see anything, Zhang Ergou stopped and tied a torch and held it in his hand, "If I knew that we should have come back early, we wouldn't have to walk at night." ”
Yuan Ning smiled, "It's okay, there are two dog uncles to give us courage, we are not afraid!" ”
Zhang Ergou simply began to tell them stories, and while he was talking, he arrived at the entrance of the village unconsciously.
Zhang Ergou was not at ease, so he turned a corner and sent them to the door of his house before going back to his home.
