Fortunately, with the recklessness blurted out of "hot spring", she was much more vigilant and closed her mouth in time, so that she did not reveal her stuffing.

"Hey, you got this thing over and planted it?" Qi Bokun looked at the dwarf plant and asked in surprise.

"No, it took a lot of effort from the Ministry of Rites to get two plants, and it took me more than a year to cultivate it so much, but something happened this year." Yuan Xiuzhu said.

Hearing the words "Ministry of Rites", Du Jinning was relieved.

The two old men have great powers, but they are the masters of "someone above". It's not difficult to get some strawberries to grow back.

It's also that she is rare and weird, and uses the thinking of the original world to understand this alternate world. You must know that she has been eating cornmeal since she crossed it, and the origin of corn is Mexico, and strawberries and corn are from the same village, and they belong to the villagers. With corn, it's not surprising to see strawberries now.

At this time, Yuan Xiuzhu had already walked to a strawberry, bent down to pull out the leaves, and pointed it to Qi Bokun: "Look at it, I finally produced a few fruits, and it became like this." ”

Du Jinning saw two tall old men gathered there, and the ditch was narrow, blocking the ground, even if she was thin, she couldn't squeeze through, and she couldn't see the strawberry in Yuan Xiuzhu's hand. She simply walked out, walked around the ground, and walked across from the two of them.

I saw Yuan Xiuzhu holding a ripe strawberry in his hand. But on the strawberry, which was supposed to be red, there was half white frost on one side, just like the woman had applied powder to her face, but it was white and red, and it was very beautiful.

Qi Bokun looked at the strawberry and shook his head like a rattle: "I don't understand, I don't even know how this thing is grown, how do I know why it became like this?" ”

"Isn't your son a farmer? Why don't you understand anything? You're still back from the capital, and you don't have any knowledge at all. Yuan Xiuzhu was very disappointed.

Qi Bokun immediately blew his beard and glared: "My son is a farmer official, and I am not!" Besides, who said that those who came back from the capital had to know how to grow this thing? Which one is like you, who sees through the red dust at a young age, plants flowers and grass all day long, and loses his mind with playthings? ”

"Hey, you serve the country and the people, so why don't you be your official secretary in the capital, and come to our poor country?"

"Lao Tzu is old now, can't Zhishi?" Qi Bokun became more and more angry, "I said Old Man Yuan, where do you have a scar and poke it?" Now, tell me why you didn't let the good prince and the prince do it back then, and begged for bones at a young age? ”

Du Jinning saw that the two old men were arguing very lively, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. She simply got up and looked at the other plants to see if the other strawberries were also sick.

The two old children thought that they were accustomed to quarreling, and after arguing for a while, their faces were red and their necks were thick, and they reconciled again in a blink of an eye, and comforted each other from the bottom of their hearts.

After comforting, probably remembering Du Jinning, Qi Bokun beckoned to this side: "Xiao Ning, come here, see what kind of disease this thing has." ”

Du Jinning got a chance to perform: "This is white // powdery mildew, which is easily contagious. ”

Both old men were stunned.

"Look at what you said categorically, it seems to be true." Yuan Xiuzhu was a little unconvinced, and asked, "Then tell me, what is this white // powdery disease?" How do you know it's white // powdery mildew? ”

"A lot of fruits and vegetables can get this disease, it's very common." Du Jinning looked surprised, with a look of "why don't you even know this", and looked at Qi Bokun with joy.

He patted Yuan Xiuzhu on the shoulder: "Old Yuan, I said what kind of strawberries do you grow?" Let's learn how to grow fruits and vegetables first. Learn the basics first, and then try to grow rare things. ”

"Roll the calves!" Yuan Xiuzhu shook his hand off his shoulder and looked at Du Jinning, "Seeing that you are right, I will believe you." Then tell me, how to cure it? ”

"What do you believe? Forget it, Xiao Ning, since he doesn't believe it, let's not treat him, let him go in a hurry. Let's go, let's go. ”

Qi Bokun waved his hand and seemed to take Du Jinning away.

"You...... You're an old immortal! Yuan Xiuzhu was so angry that his beard curled, "Qi Bokun, if you want to go, don't pull others." As he spoke, he changed his expression, and smiled at Du Jinning very kindly, "I'm the gentleman of your academy, child, you cured my strawberry disease, and I will take care of you in the academy." ”

"Tsk!" Qi Bokun said disdainfully, "He is the personal disciple of the mountain chief, what do you want to take care of?" Don't mess with those who are vain. I said, Old Man Yuan, when did you become so stingy? It's not an exaggeration for a child to run so far on a cold day, and your strawberries have cured the disease, and you pay you ten taels of silver, right? ”

As soon as Qi Bokun said this, Yuan Xiuzhu understood what he meant.

Look at Du Jinning's yellow face and thin muscles, there is no good cloth on his body, you can imagine how poor his family is. This kid is still very tough, just now Old Man Qi wanted to give him clothes and pants, but he refused. Old man Qi is looking for an opportunity to make up for him in disguise.

"I looked at my strawberries with several experienced carpenters, but I couldn't see anything. I offered them an offer, and if anyone was cured of the disease, I would give him twenty taels. Yuan Xiuzhu said.

He hired a few carpenters, and it rose from two taels to ten taels of silver. But when others heard that they got something back from overseas, Mr. Yuan was still like a baby, so he specially bought a hot spring village to raise. Even if you can see what kind of disease it is, how dare you treat it? If someone gets some rare disease from overseas, and they are not only not cured, but cured, then it will cost people's lives?

So the flower carpenters came and went one by one, and they all said that they couldn't understand it, and they didn't know what the disease was.

The reason why ten taels became twenty taels was that Yuan Xiuzhu also planned to help Du Jinning. After all, this kid can enter the eyes of Guan Lehe, and he can also let Qi Bokun help him with all his heart, which can be seen as a good thing. Such a child, even if he sponsors a few more, he is very happy.

The two old men thought that Du Jinning would happily agree, but they didn't want this kid to shake his head unexpectedly, and said, "If I help you heal, can I ask for two strawberry seedlings instead of twenty taels of silver?" ”

Yuan Xiuzhu was stunned: "What do you want it for?" ”

"Seed!" Du Jinning is naturally authentic.

"Ugh!" Yuan Xiuzhu was choked for a moment, and had to ask patiently, "Why are you planting it?" Twenty taels of silver is enough for you to attend the academy for a year. You don't want silver, why do you want this thing? ”

Qi Bokun was also puzzled.

Yuan Xiuzhu planted this thing, in his opinion, it was to have nothing to do when he was full, and to find fun. This thing is grown, you say it's delicious, that's it, it's not sweet or sour, how many fruits are not better than it? I have to spend so much energy to tinker with, isn't that what is it that is full of food?

If Du Jinning was a rich young master, he could still understand this child's choice. It's just that he is a poor boy, so poor that he can't even eat. If you don't eat or wrap your belly, you can't cover your body, and you still think about the wind and snow, isn't this sick?

It's sicker than any strawberry!

"Because it's rare, people will definitely want to try it when you grow it. I don't sell it to ordinary people, I sell it to those rich people, and I don't ask for much, a hundred dollars a pound, and everyone is willing to pay for it to taste. If you sell it for a year or two, not to mention twenty taels of silver, you can earn forty taels or sixty taels, isn't it more cost-effective than just money? It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, Mr. Yuan, I believe you must understand this truth. ”

"Ugh." Yuan Xiuzhu choked again.

He almost got caught up in the kid.

It seems to make a lot of sense, and even the words "it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish" have come to say, how can it not be reasonable?

But...... It always felt like something was wrong.

He thought about it for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Hey, you kid, I almost fainted by you." You've done a good job, but it's a pipe dream. ”

Qi Bokun also smiled and shook his head: "Isn't it just child's talk?" ”

"Not to mention that if you take it back, you won't be able to plant it or not; Even if it is planted, how many catties of fruit can it produce in a year? I've been like this for almost two years, and the CCP has only gotten a few catties of fruit. You want to make a fortune with it, isn't that a pipe dream? Yuan Xiuzhu rolled his eyes and said.
