Chapter 49: Ready to Plant Grapes?

Haitang glanced at the golden fruit twice, and asked tentatively: "Grandpa wants to plant grapes in Suzhou, will our family have fresh grapes to eat in the future?" ”

Jin Guo thought for a while: "There should be one, right?" I heard from Trebo that these grapes were planted to make wine. There must be a lot of grapes that you can always eat if you want to. ”

Sure enough, the vineyard was built for winemaking.

Haitang knew what to expect, and continued to try: "But didn't grandpa go back to the guard to be an official?" I am still busy every day until it is almost dark before I come back, where is the time to take care of the family's vineyard? Not to mention the construction of a sake brewery. ”

Jin Guo hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not the vineyard and winery of the Emen family, this is the guard's!" The master is taking care of the property for the guard! ”

"So, the vineyard is government-run? Then you can't just pick the grapes and eat them. Begonia sighed deliberately, and suddenly "thought" an idea, "Then let's plant a few grapes ourselves, right?" Just grow it at home. When it is planted, it does not make wine, but eats the fruit. When I was in Guazhou, I had to eat melons and grapes from there every year. When we moved, Xiaoshi and I were still worried, afraid that we would not be able to eat such fresh fruits in the future. ”

"If Tang Tang wants to eat, then plant!" Jin Guo said very happily, "Eh, help you plant." I have been growing grapes since I was a child, and so will my melons! ”

It's good, the tool man has it. There is no shortage of seeds, but a cover is needed to hide the true origin of the seeds.

Begonia asked Jin Guo again: "Where can I get seeds?" Do you have a lot of grapes in the nursery you went to? Can you give me one or two? ”

Jin Guo shook his head: "It shouldn't work." The grape seedlings in the nursery were brought from Guazhou and Shazhou by the old man, a total of 100 plants, only more than half of them lived, and the rest were expensive. Each plant is guarded by a special person, and it is impossible to divide it outward. ”

Haitang was curious: "Grandpa asked someone to bring it over?" Do we also bring a few pots with us? I remember a carriage with a dozen or so pots of flowers, all planted with green plants, but I don't know if they were grape seedlings. Because the weather was too cold, a few pots died on the way. ”

Hai Xiya specially instructed the grandchildren in the family not to let them go near the carriage, so as not to break things, so Xiao Haitang did not pay attention to what was in the carriage. I didn't expect it to be a grape seedling.

In this way, Hai Xiya said that he had a good idea of improving the financial situation of Suzhou Weifu in the future, and it was not without purpose. He was really prepared. The grape seedlings specially transported from Guazhou, as well as Jinguo, a maidservant who is proficient in viticulture technology, only need to find suitable land and plant the grapes. If he is even proficient in the recipe for making wine, he will only have to wait for the grapes to bear fruit.

It's just that he didn't plan to stay in Suzhou, he was going to leave after changing his household registration, and choose a safe place to settle away from Sun Yonglu and others, and later he had the heart to return to his hometown to retire. The grape seedlings and the maidservant who tended to the grapes must have been prepared for the purpose of building their own vineyards, right? Now he has contributed all these to Suzhou Wei, this sacrifice is really great!

Haitang sighed a few times in her heart, but she had the heart to help her grandfather.

The sacrifice is so great, if you can't get back a decent enough official hat, so that the Hai family can still straighten their waists and face the township party after returning to their hometown, wouldn't Haixi Cliff be sacrificed in vain?

Begonias are not as proficient in grape cultivation as Jinguo, and there is no reason to run to the vineyards of the guard. But she has 20 grape seeds in her hand, which is suitable for planting in the geographical and climatic environment of Suzhou, and it is still a suitable variety for winemaking. If she planted these grapes, would she be able to help her grandfather? If there are any deficiencies in the grapes produced in Suzhou Wei Vineyard, they can also be improved by transplanting and grafting.

Thinking so, Begonia said to Jinguo: "Let's go to the market outside to find grape seedlings or grape seeds, shall we?" You are a knowledgeable person, and with you with me, I am not afraid of being deceived. When we come back with seedlings or seeds, we will plant grapes at home, so that we will have fresh grapes to eat next year! ”

Jin Guo glanced at her: "I'll look for it tomorrow, but you can't go out." My wife said that there are many people who have come into the city recently, and I am afraid that there will be bad people in it, so you are not allowed to go to the street. ”

The first batch of immigrants from Shazhou and the second batch of immigrants from Guazhou have recently entered the city. There were a lot more strangers in the city, and there was some chaos in the market. Although there were guards watching, they were not afraid that anyone would dare to make trouble in the city, but Ma was worried and forbade his granddaughter to go out.

Originally, Begonia had already been allowed to follow her brother on the reef twice. Although I just go to buy an early snack every time and come back after a spin, as long as I get off to a good start, there will always be a day when I can go shopping freely. Now that Begonia is forbidden to go out again, I feel quite sorry, but I don't want to say anything. Even my brother Haijiao, a half-sized young man, can't go shopping casually anymore. In addition to following his grandfather to the yamen, he was also detained at home. The daily morning run can only be done in the yard. He was so depressed that he increased the number of arrows he shot every day, and was found by his second uncle Hai Chang'an before he returned to the original 200 arrows.

Haitang originally wanted to use the excuse to buy grape seedlings and win an opportunity to take the maid to the street, but unfortunately Jinguo was too clever and found her plan in time and rejected her. Haitang had no choice but to dispel this thought: "Then I won't go, I'll wait for your good news at home." In addition to grape seeds, you can also buy some seeds of other fruits and vegetables if they are sold. After speaking, he stuffed the money to buy seedlings to Jinguo.

Jin Guo went to find Aunt Cui's daughter-in-law, Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law. The latter is responsible for the daily food purchase at home and has to go out almost every day. It was just right for Jin Guo to find her as a companion.

Begonia went to find her grandmother Ma and asked for the flower pots that the family had used to transport the grape seedlings earlier. Didn't a few pots of fruit seedlings die on the road? The vacated pots and the soil in the pots are now just in the right place.

Ma Shi heard that she was going to plant grapes, but she only thought that she was a child who loved to play, and he didn't take it to heart: "You just go to Aunt Cui and ask for it, everything is still at home, and you haven't lost it." But what can grape grows do? It's just to add fruit once in a while. If you really want to plant something at home, you might as well plant some ginger, onion, garlic and cabbage, and you can add a vegetable after planting! ”

Haitang said: "I told Jinguo that if you have other melon and vegetable seeds, you can also buy a little." ”

"That'll do." Ma Shi thought for a while, "If you can't buy it, it's nothing, go back and ask the Liu family." Liu Keren's wife has planted a lot of melons and vegetables at home, and you can ask her for seeds. ”

Lord Liu Keren? That's my own person, too. This makes it more convenient.

Begonia made another request: "I want to order wood, the planks are the best, and then I want saws, axes and so on." You can also use flower pots to grow grapes, and if you want to grow vegetables, it is better to make several wooden troughs more convenient. ”

"You ask Treber to go. You can take everything you have at home; If you don't have one at home, ask Treber to ask your neighbors. Ma Shi responded casually, and then looked at his granddaughter with a straight face, "But even if you get something, you are not allowed to touch those axes, knives or anything by yourself, and cut your hands carefully!" What do you want to do, let your second uncle or Da Zhuang do it. ”

Haitang responded obediently, and when she saw Ma raising her hand to rub her neck, she seemed a little tired, so she stepped forward intimately to help her beat her back and massage.

Ma smiled: "The little girl is really growing up, and she knows how to be filial to her grandmother." ”

Begonia smiled flatteringly, and the massage on her hand was just right, which made Ma feel better.

After pressing Ma Shi comfortably, Haitang approached her grandmother with a curious face and asked: "Grandma, I heard Jinguo say that grandpa is going to build a vineyard in Suzhou and plans to make wine in the future." Can he make it? ”
