Chapter Seventy-Five: The Seed

"Okay."

Zeng Yichen was also polite, and asked gently: "I heard your brother say, you want to plant fruit trees in the backyard, do you want to help you get some saplings back?" ”

September's eyes lit up, "Okay, I'm worried about how to get saplings, if I can, I can find apples, peaches, pear trees and the like myself, you can help me see osmanthus, pomegranates, ginkgo, if there is one that can climb wisteria or roses along the fence, also help get some, well, what else, I want to think." ”

Su Jinghang was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, this Zeng Gongzi didn't know if it was just a politeness, his sister was really polite. The lion opened his mouth widely, and he really wanted a lot.

"Okay, you think slowly, don't rush." Zeng Yichen smiled.

"Ah, I'm going to dig a big pond in the front yard of my house, and it would be nice to plant a few willow trees next to the pond." When I think of the gentle breeze and swaying willow leaves by the pond in summer, I feel cool and comfortable in September.

Speaking of the pond, it was only in September that he remembered the most important plant in the pond and quickly asked, "Can you get lotus seeds?" When the time comes, plant lotus roots in the pond, and you will be able to eat them in late autumn! ”

Lotus root? In the whole north is a relatively expensive thing, many well-off people will plant in their own ponds to enjoy the lotus, but the lotus root is a small number of edible plants, the south is rich in aquatic products and plant lotus root is a lot, but after all, the road is far away, and when it is sent to the north, it is not fresh, but even if it is not fresh, the price is not cheap.

Eat lotus root? Zeng Yichen looked at her thoughtfully, is this girl confident that she can grow lotus roots? Or are you too naΓ―ve to know the world?

"Oh, in September, that lotus root is a precious thing, and it can't be planted by planting vegetables in the field." When the eldest aunt Jin heard this, she couldn't help but interject.

Is lotus root hard to grow? September tilted her head and thought, she remembered that she and her girlfriend had gone to Hangzhou for a while before joining the work, passing by a farmhouse, and the owner of the house planted dozens of acres of lotus root ponds.

It will be the season when the lotus flowers bloom in summer, and the scene really responds to the ancient poem: the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun. The proprietress has a warm and hospitable personality, and what she told them the most was the lotus pond.

Her family has been planting lotus root for more than ten years, and is a well-known local lotus root planter, many local people from other places have come to their house to buy lotus seeds to discuss planting experience, and there are not a few from the north.

I remember that she said that lotus root is very good to plant, as long as the soil and water quality are up to standard, and then the interval is reasonable, the fertilization is in place, and the pest and disease disasters are not, there is generally no major problem. The water and soil here are not polluted. When it comes to fertilization, human and animal manure is a good fertilizer.

As for pests and diseases? Let's talk about it when I meet it. You can't give up because you're afraid of pests and diseases, and you don't even dare to try.

"Uncle Auntie, it's because of the gold that I planted it, and when it is harvested in the autumn, the value is naturally high." September replied with a smile.

"You kid, if the silver of this lotus root is so easy to earn, it will be your turn to plant it, you can have a little heart, don't be blind, be careful not to grow the lotus root, but lose the capital." My sister-in-law is too accustomed to children, and she dares to make her own decisions as a little girl in such a big matter.

"In September, if you want to plant something, you have to ask the adults in the family." The second uncle, Jiang, also persuaded vaguely.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

September was quite speechless, she just wanted to plant some lotus roots, really......

"Auntie, I know." September smiled and answered softly.

"It's okay, I'll help you find someone who can plant lotus root when the time comes, this lotus root will definitely be able to be planted well, cough~cough~." Zeng Yichen coughed lightly twice.

"Really, thank you so much, when the time comes, the lotus root will really be planted, and you will be the first one." September's eyes are shining and there is someone who knows how to help it, and that would be great.

"Brother Zeng, your cough is not well yet, bring some of our home-grown ginger back in a while, and drink a cup of ginger tea when you are fine, it is best to dispel cold and dehumidify. Didn't the old people all say that they eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, and they don't need a doctor to prescribe medicine. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ There are so many sayings here, why haven't I heard of them? Zeng Yichen joked funny.

"Haha, the world is so big, there are many things we don't know." September smiled happily and blushed, her white face flushed with pink.

The little girl smiled with crooked eyebrows, she never seemed to be timid and shy, she spoke generously and crisply, there was no awe and cowardice in her eyes, as if he was an ordinary friend of hers, the two were equal, there was no difference, Zeng Yichen couldn't help but shake his head.

In the corner of the house, Liang Ling'er rubbed the silk handkerchief in her hand with resentment, what were they talking about? Why can that girl talk to him? Still smiling so happily like this?

She really wanted to come forward and have fun together, but Zeng Chen's cold attitude just now made her hesitate.

After such a hesitation, Su Jinghang had already led people to the hall.

Liang Ling'er stomped her feet and had to return to the guest room.

In the hall, the guests were almost gone, only the village chief and a few close relatives of the Su family were pulling the housework, Zeng Yichen noticed that Su Changsheng was standing at the door of the hall, and Qin Renyi was bowing his head and talking to him.

"Young Master!" Zeng Bo and Jin Yu greeted him.

"Hmm."

Zeng Yichen's good-looking eyebrows raised, "What are they talking about?" ”

Zeng Bo immediately stepped forward and whispered a few words.

Zeng Yichen frowned slightly, although Qin Renyi was planning for his own business, but they came to the Su family as guests, and it was really !!

Su Changsheng noticed them, waved at Su Jinghang, and said a few words in his ear, and Su Jinghang ran to the backyard again.

After a while, the figures of September and Yun Niang appeared in front of the hall door. Su Changsheng hurriedly walked up to meet her, pulled over September, and whispered a few words to her.

September couldn't help but smile when he heard this, this shopkeeper Qin deserved to be a shrewd businessman, with a pair of eyes that were good at discovering ways to make money.

Su Changsheng approached Qin Renyi and said in a gentle tone: "Shopkeeper Qin, you have taken care of our family a lot these days, and I also said in September that after this tofu workshop was built, it also had half of the Zeng family. If you don't say it, we will also serve the tofu in the welcome building. As for the method, I will give it to you, it was originally a ready-made dish, as long as there are a few more processes and ingredients, even if there is no method of my family, I believe that the chef of your restaurant can make it a few more times. ”

"Oh, where did Brother Su say. We are mutually beneficial, help each other, to say that the skills of my brother and sister are good, that is, the ordinary sauerkraut fish can be made so delicious, if it is not inconvenient, I really want to ask her to be the chef of our restaurant! After Su Changsheng's words, Qin Renyi was very happy in his heart.

As soon as he came to the table just now, he tasted all the dishes on the table one by one, and the craftsmanship of the cooks was really speechless, and the level of cooking of a table of dishes was not worse than the best banquet in their restaurant.

He even felt that the same marinated meat, the Su family seemed to have two more points of indescribable taste, to be specific, what was the difference, and he couldn't say, what surprised him the most was those soy products, fresh and spicy, tender and soft, this is the first one in Qingshui Town.

After inquiring, it turned out that it was Su Changlin's daughter-in-law who was in charge today, this cooking skill really amazed Qin Renyi, no wonder the girl in September was so sophisticated in cooking, it turned out that her mother was also a good player.

"Hehe, Uncle Qin, if my mother goes to your restaurant to be a chef, our family will starve to death." September smiled and spoke.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you kid!" Yun Niang smiled softly and nodded September's head. "Let the shopkeeper Qin laugh."

"Ouch, September's right. I think Changlin and they are used to eating the dishes made by their younger siblings, and they really can't eat it if they change to others, haha......" Shopkeeper Qin was happy to flatter.

Everyone else laughed.

Since it has been decided to send tofu, there will be no delay in September, and there are still a lot of aftermath matters at home, so hurry up and solve the matter.

She went back to the kitchen to get the basket, and asked Feng to fill a small half basket of ginger and give it to Uncle Zeng. By the way, I told him about the practice of medicinal chicken soup.

In September, he then led Qin Renyi into the main house, found pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Yun Niang dictated the method of cooking, and Qin Renyi wrote a copy by himself.

September's words are still in a state of inappropriate to see people, and she has been too busy recently, so she has time to practice her words well, after all, there is always a time when she needs to write by herself, she sticks out her tongue and honestly helps grind ink on the side.

Qin Renyi asked all the specific details to understand, and then he folded the written rice paper and put it away with satisfaction. After thanking Yun Niang again and again, he went back with the little guy who was driving the car.

Originally, Qin Renyi wanted to go back with Zeng Yichen and his party, but was politely rejected by Zeng Bo.

He left first. Soon after Qin Renyi's carriage left, Zeng Yichen and his party also resigned and left.

The family enthusiastically sent everyone to the door, and did not return to the house until the carriage was far away.

"Brother, I see, your family is amazing. This housewarming banquet is not only appreciated by Cui County, although the son of the Zeng family looks sick and weak, but in the end, he is the son of the prefect, and he can deign to come to our small place, and our village will also be stained. The old village chief kept the guests all the time, and his tone was genuinely excited.

"Isn't it, that Zeng Gongzi has a full body and a valuable identity. But he only fancies your home. What a blessing, old man. "Master Chen is also responsible for the construction of the tofu factory, and he was invited to come over this September.

Su Youfu waved his hand with a smile and did not speak. But I know very well in my heart that the Su family can have today's situation because of September and her dream. He always felt that girl was the lucky star of their old Su family, but now, it has really come true.

A few of the older generation of greetings for a while, did not stay any longer, the grandson of the old village chief returned home from vacation these days, his wife took care of him at home, finally came back, he was a little worried, so he smiled and resigned from everyone, and went home first.

When he returned to the kitchen in September, he put most of the half pot of chicken soup boiled for Zeng Yichen and them into a clean large porcelain basin, and asked Huzi to take it back to replenish Su Hongyu's body. After Hu Ziniang was busy today, Hu Zi's father went to the construction site of the tofu factory after eating. There is only one Su Hongyu at home, and I am afraid that I haven't eaten at this time.

Hu Ziniang did not shirk, tearfully thanked her, her daughter was seriously injured and fractured, and it was the time when she needed to make up for her body, but in order to make up enough money for Liang Hu, the family's valuable ones were sold, five acres of paddy fields were sold for three acres, eight hens that hatched eggs were not sold, half of the grain in the cellar was sold, and the rest of the grain was saved for half a year, and finally the Su family owed a large amount of silver, so that the silver of the separation was enough.

Hu Ziniang felt sorry for her daughter, so she ate bran and swallowed vegetables by herself, trying to make her eat better, but that's all, but she couldn't afford to buy her some meat to nourish her body.

The Su family is kind-hearted, not only lent them silver, but also hired their family to work, every time they go home, their hands are basically not empty, today's pig bones and tomorrow's pig tails are the day after tomorrow's lard, Su Hongyu's recent body is made up by these, although they are ashamed in their hearts, they finally accept it with a cheeky face, after all, the girl's body is the most important thing now, and if the person is raised, he can repay this favor.

Hu Ziniang understands it very well in her heart. explained a few words to his son, and he continued to stay to help finish it.
