We also passed two other medicinal fields along the way. Li Changle said that other things grown on the farm can be sold, but the medicinal herbs are not sold.

Medicinal herbs like Dendrobium are kept by the family or used as food ingredients in shops in the village.

Gu Chongguang thought thoughtfully, "Your recipe for Dendrobium will be very popular. Even the big restaurants in Kyoto don't dare to sell it this way. Dendrobium is not easy to get, otherwise it wouldn't be a tribute. How can it be sold freely in restaurants?"

In other words, her farm will sell medicinal foods made from tribute herbs in the future. Can this item be circled?

Li Changle thought, should she make a flyer and take the initiative to distribute it at the doors of the wealthy families?

There are plenty of good things in her farm, and she can find even those that are missing!

Make a promotional album for the various landscapes in Zhuangzi?

She calculated as she walked.

He glanced at the grandparents and grandchildren in front of him, and suddenly an idea came to him.

It seems that her step-father-in-law is a famous painter in the Great Yan Dynasty?

The photo album is gone, so can we ask him to draw an album for Zhuangzi?

Li Changle's eyes were glowing blue.

This is really... after searching everywhere for something, it turns out to be something you have found without any effort.

Let’s not talk about whether it is Dendrobium or not, the Dendrobium has not grown well yet.

Start by drawing scenery from other places, such as the secret garden on the mountain and the pavilions and inns.

The vineyards, strawberry farms, and barbecue restaurants at the foot of the mountain...

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible.

We can also keep the person temporarily and take good care of him, so as to live up to Gu Jingyan's sincere entrustment.

When I went there half a month ago, Xiaole Mountain was already undergoing interior decoration. It should be almost finished by now, after all, there are only six small courtyards.

According to Sun Daxing, there are less than half of the people working on the mountain, so there is no need for too many people to go up and take advantage of the situation.

We walked up the slope with sunflowers on both sides, sweat dripping from our forehead. After turning a few corners on the mountainside, we finally reached the top of the mountain.

Yu'er got tired halfway through the journey, so she sat on the ox cart with Gu Chongguang, swinging her short legs and calling for her mother to come and ride as well.

Li Changle waved his hand and asked them to sit by themselves. There was a sick and weak person and a dwarf in the car.

Respecting the old and loving the young, she still climbed up on her legs.

A cool breeze wafted over, carrying with it the rich scent of jasmine, and Li Changle took a deep breath.

So delicious.

The top of Xiaole Mountain is surrounded by a high double wooden fence.

At this time, they were outside the wooden fence door. There were several jasmine branches full of small white flowers sticking out from the wooden fence.

"It's grown so fast? It was only half the height of the fence before..." Li Changle muttered and patted the wooden door.

Someone who was working inside heard the noise and came out to open the door.

The ox cart was tied to a tree trunk outside, and several people went into the garden.

Gu Chongguang lost his voice as soon as he stepped into this place.

There is no place in this garden without flowers.

They are either potted, planted in nurseries, planted on the ground surrounded by wooden fences next to rockeries, or floating in water lilies in water tanks. Or they are planted randomly outside the courtyard walls of the garden.

Peony, orchid, crabapple, peony, rose, lily of the valley, tulip, lily, hydrangea, rose, chrysanthemum... and so on.

Li Changle's eyes were filled with the names of flowers, but she only recognized a few of the more familiar and common ones...

Some of the flower seeds she bought were seedlings. She would forget about them when they didn't bloom after planting them, let alone put them in the right places after they bloomed.

Anyway, there are fairy-like, delicate, beautiful, gorgeous, noble, fresh, graceful... everything is available.

Her garden is truly worthy of its name, with flowers of various colors blooming in full bloom.

Gu Chongguang's eyes were already wide open.

Could this be a fairyland in a dream?

He said nothing, as if he was afraid that making a sound would wake him from his dream.

The literati were elegant and loved to appreciate flowers, the moon and autumn fragrance. Gu Chongguang himself was an artist with a high aesthetic vision.

The flowers in this garden were enough to keep his eyes busy.

It’s so beautiful, each flower has its own fragrance.

The little goldfish in the pebble pond hid under the lotus leaves and swam out from time to time. The ground was separated by green lawns, and long strips of blue bricks extended all the way to the gates of each courtyard.

At the entrance of each courtyard, there is a flower that climbs all over the wall, either bougainvillea or rose. The upper half of the wooden fence of the courtyard is covered with dense flowers.

This was the first time that Li Changle saw this magnificent scene.

Can't you?

Who can produce a garden of flowers at once?

It is still a precious and rare flower.

There are so many varieties that even she can't count them all...

Gu Chongguang was standing around a pot of peonies, and he was saying, "'Only the peony is the most beautiful flower in the country, and the capital is moved when it blooms.' It really is... it really is... the most beautiful flower in the country."

The purple flowers are as big as a bowl, with overlapping and towering petals, shaped like a crown. They bloom among the branches, elegant and luxurious.

"Changle, this is the best of the peony flowers - Wei Zi?"

Li Changle: "..."

She knew it was a peony, but she didn't know if it was "Wei Zi".

I don’t know how many peonies there are in this yard…

In order to prevent the flowers from becoming infested and becoming worthless, she only plants one of each kind.

But there are several versions of the same flower, either with different colors or different nicknames.

Then, she accidentally planted a garden.

Gu Chongguang didn't hear her answer and had already started searching carefully among the flowers.

Li Changle took Yu'er to one side of the garden and put her on the swing to play.

"Here it is! Yao Huang! There really is Yao Huang! Eh? Dou Lu?"

Gu Chongguang pointed at the two famous peonies he had found, looked at Li Changle in disbelief, then looked at the endless colors in the garden, and said quietly: "Do you know how popular peonies are? Any one of these is worth the price of your entire farm."

Gu Changle was shocked. Is it so valuable?

She also wanted to say, a peony could be sold for dozens of taels at most, right?

After selling this one, I will plant another one...

Cover your face.

It's because she is ignorant.

"And these peonies and orchids are all rare species. There is not a single cheap flower in this garden. Why don't you tell me where you collected the flower seeds from? I'll go collect some too."

Gu Chongguang's eyes were burning with enthusiasm; he was really going to collect seeds.

"Haha..." Li Changle's eyes were vague, "It was... collected from an overseas businessman."

In order to change the subject in time, she quickly put forward the plan she had been working on, "Father, I have something to trouble you with."

Gu Chongguang turned his gaze away from the flowers and glanced at his daughter-in-law. "What's the matter?"

"My daughter-in-law heard that you are the most powerful Danqing master in the Great Yan Dynasty."

"I don't deserve the title of master, it's just that it's pleasing to the eye." Gu Jingyan walked towards the viewing pavilion with his hands behind his back, looking down at the flowers passing by.

The water lilies floating on the pond are as pure as ice and as beautiful as jade.

"Father, you must be too modest. Look, my daughter-in-law built this farm, and I didn't do it for free. I spent a lot of money, so I can't just look at it myself. Good things should be shared with everyone."

"so?"

"So, hey, father, can you help me pick out some beautiful scenes in the farm and paint them?"

"My daughter-in-law just thought about it. It is impossible to make a promotional brochure. It is too labor-intensive. How many brochures would it take? But if we draw all the scenery of Zhuangzi in one place, my daughter-in-law can find a suitable place to post it, and the purpose of promotion will be achieved."

She followed closely behind, and even the tone of her negotiation sounded a little more flattering.

If you want to ask for help from others, you must be humble.

"Does it mean to help you draw a picture?"

"Yes, yes! Is that possible?"

Gu Chongguang sat down on the stone bench in the viewing pavilion. Li Changle hurriedly took the thermos cup from Leng Qi's hand, used the cup lid as a cup, poured a cup of Astragalus, Ginseng and Red Dates tea and handed it to him.

"Father, remember to take this thermos cup with you wherever you go in the future. Fill it with tea, enough for half a day. The water will be as hot as it goes in, and it will stay hot all day long. You like to travel, and you don't have to worry about running out of hot water even if you are inconvenienced on the road."

A thermos cup is a must-have for veteran cadres.

"Where did you find this thing?"

“I bought it.”

"Overseas businessmen?"

"Isn't that so? Uh..."

Gu Chongguang chuckled, took a sip of tea, and tasted the sweet taste of Astragalus and Codonopsis in his mouth.

Li Changle was shocked to find that his character was about to collapse...

She behaved very well yesterday.

Gu Chongguang is already in his early fifties, old enough to be a grandfather.

He was just mild-mannered, not that he couldn't see anything wrong.

As long as my daughter-in-law is thoughtful in everything, I don't have to worry about other details.

Gu Jingyan said to him, "Father, when you see her, just trust her and don't ask too many questions."

I guess there are things that my daughter-in-law really can't tell you.

Unable to bear to refuse his daughter-in-law, he agreed to Li Changle's request.

She agreed too quickly. She thought that intellectuals were noble and aloof, and most of them regarded money as dirt, and would be disgusted by her propaganda method.

She had prepared a lot of excuses, from how scholars also need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and that eating, drinking, defecation and urination also require what they call "manure" to support themselves, to how you also need "manure" to pay your tuition fees when you study, and that pens, ink, paper and inkstones are all inseparable from "manure", and that without "manure" on the way to the exam, you may not even be able to reach the examination hall... and so on.

What's wrong with shit? Shit also has dignity...

But he didn't say anything and was very straightforward.

Li Changle attentively poured another cup of tea for Gu Chongguang, "I knew my father would agree. You are much easier to talk to than Jing Yan."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"I borrowed a horse from him to go to the county before, and he even asked me for rent!"

Gu Chongguang: "..."

My eldest son is a little bit ungrateful.

From the viewing pavilion, you can see people coming in and out of the small courtyard, busy working.

Li Changle wanted to check out the progress of the construction, so she asked the grandparents and grandchildren to stay in the garden while she walked into the courtyard.

Although the area of ​​each courtyard is not large, the design is similar. They have one thing in common, that is, the outside of the courtyard is a world of colorful flowers, but the inside of the courtyard is mostly green.

In addition to the wall of flowers climbing on the fence, there are also several clumps of purple bamboo planted inside the wall. The courtyard is decorated with pebbles, long blue bricks and lawns.

A pond was dug in the yard, fish were raised, and water lilies were planted in the water tank.

Li Changle entered the courtyard closest to the garden.

This courtyard was already completed, and there were no craftsmen inside. She walked directly inside, and beyond the courtyard was the residential area.

Four bedrooms, one living room, two bathrooms and one kitchen, decorated in Chinese style.

It can be lived in by a family or shared.

There are kangs in the bedrooms, with cool mats in the summer and cotton mats or blankets in the winter.

Although she was not sure whether any customers would visit her garden in the middle of winter, since it was an inn, all facilities had to be in place.

The tea table and chairs in the living room were also set up and placed on the side against the wall. There were several pots of green plants in the room, and two pots of Phalaenopsis orchids on two high stools. The orchids bloomed like butterflies, with layers of stamens, adding a unique touch of beauty to the quietness of this room.

Li Changle visited the courtyard inside and out and made sure that it was completed before leaving.

There was no one in the yard next door, and it was roughly arranged. A few yards further in, there were sounds of nails and frames.

When they returned to the viewing pavilion, Gu Chongguang stayed with Yu'er. The grandfather and grandson turned their backs to Li Changle, and the older one was explaining various kinds of flowers to the younger one.

The audience next to me was a little young and absent-minded, scanning left and right. I was afraid I was playing the lute to a cow.

"...This is a red camellia. Look, girl. The flowers are lush and beautiful..."

"This is a chrysanthemum. It is one of the four gentlemen of flowers. Here are... four pots of chrysanthemums of different colors."

I only heard him say in a slightly strange tone, "That overseas businessman must be a flower lover. The flowers in this garden are of all varieties."

"This is the peony flower, also known as 'Yu Rong'."

"Your grandmother's favorite plant was peony. The courtyard of Qingxin Garden in Gu's house was where your grandmother raised peonies. There are still two peony plants she left behind in the courtyard."

Qingxin Garden is the courtyard where Gu Jingyan and Li Changle live in Gu’s residence.

Gu Chongguang talked about his ex-wife and then fell silent.

Several people stayed in the garden for a long time, and then went to the greenhouse. The greenhouse was made of blue bricks, and when winter came, flowers that were not cold-resistant could be moved in. There were two kangs on both sides of the wall to increase the temperature of the greenhouse in winter.

Gu Chongguang very much agreed with this point, believing that this was worthy of the status of a famous flower.

The craftsman was experienced. He had worked in a rich family's manor and reminded her that it would be good to build a greenhouse for the New Year. Her precious flowers in the garden were very delicate, and she didn't want them all to be destroyed by the wind and snow in winter.

A few people came down from the top of the mountain and met Liu Tiechui who came to pick them up when they reached halfway up the mountain.

"Master! Madam Eldest Young Master! We have guests visiting the manor."

It's already noon, time for lunch. Who is so stupid as to visit during lunch time?

"Who's coming?"

Liu Tiechui: "Madam, it's Young Master Wei and the Magistrate of Lushui Village, and Master Fan."

Oh wow, Li Huaitong is here.

Did you send her a banner?

Calculating the time, in another half a month, the 1000 acres of sweet potatoes in Li County will have a good harvest.

By then, the people of Li County will have food to eat, and they can also sell some seed potatoes to make a few copper coins.

Well, there is also her contribution point~~
