country small landowner

Qi Yu didn't think as much as Xu Liuer thought, after all, he was his own brother, even younger than his youngest brother, so if he recognized it, he would just have more mouths and more food.In the future, if I marry his older brother, I don't need someone from a famous family, as long as Xiaojiabiyu can watch over her younger brother to live a life, forget about my father's wish.

"If there is more stuff at home, just a hundred acres of land, the dowry that my grandma brought into the house back then is valuable, but after I have been away these years, my dad has slowly brought it to me, otherwise It’s just that there are two shops in the county, which can charge a rent of 80 taels a year, which is not a lot of money, besides, our family is not short of that two money.”

Qi Yu knew his brother's temperament, and he was willing to fight for everything, so he warned: "Don't use your brains, although I am not a grandma, but I only have such a brother, if What happened? After a hundred years, how can I have the face to see Father. Father has already given me everything that should be given to me. There are still more things in the country. I know in my heart that all I have is more than him. Even if I pick him up now, he has no ability, and I will take care of him for the rest of my life. Not only me, but even the little ones in our family, you should remind me a little bit, don't let me know that there is something disrespectful to the elders Things happen, otherwise, our family law is not a decoration."

When Qi Yu broke her mind, Xu Liuer was not angry, she covered her mouth and smiled: "I know, I know, you have a lot of things, I don't know why we are just such a younger brother, look at your baby, it seems As if I could kill him."

Qi Yu threw himself on the couch and hugged Xu Liuer, Xu Liuer screamed in fright, "Sweaty all over, don't put your arms around me, get up!"

"What's wrong with my own brother, who dares to care about me." When the waiters outside the house heard Xu Liuer's scream, they covered their mouths and smiled and avoided. Such things often happen at home, and they There is still some value in being a servant.

"Taozi, hire a few people to pick two carts of popular fruits for me these few days. I will keep the picked ones for gifts."

Zhou Tao was quite surprised. Qi Bao didn't like dealing with people very much, especially giving gifts and greetings, and even less so. So in the past, he was responsible for giving gifts, and now many people thought he was It's the big boss.

"It's not a festival, and our family has never missed anyone's gift. Why do we need to make up for it?"

"Ah." Zhou Tao has been busy building a house for Xu's family for the past few days. With his grandma's acquiescence, Zhou Tao worked even harder. Qi Bao couldn't catch him for a few days, so he naturally forgot to follow him. He explained that the elder brother of the Qi family was going to pick him up to Beijing.

"You said the young master wanted to take you to the capital?" Zhou Tao asked loudly after hearing the whole story.

"Yeah, brother is an official in the capital, so he settled down and wants to pick me up to live there for a while." In fact, Boss Qi's letter meant to pick up Qi Bao's permanent residence, but Qi Bao didn't plan to let it go. The days when I was free, but I chose to find someone to watch me.

"So we are preparing a meeting gift for the young master now?"

Zhou Tao couldn't react. Boss Qi hadn't seen him for more than ten years. Both he and Qi Bao had never seen him. Why did he appear suddenly when he said he appeared? Don't be a liar.

"Well, there's no need to prepare anything, just bring him something if we have anything at home, don't worry."

This is true, even if you meet a liar, these things are worthless, just afraid that the young master will be sad, and finally have relatives again.

"Then pick a cart of plums, and another cart of Shanlihong. The ground fruit is more precious, but it is easy to be damaged, so don't pick it." My young master is very calculating, and the center of the large fruit forest is planted. Fruit, also named "Strawberry", isn't it just growing on the ground like grass.

In the past, ground fruit only grew in the mountains, and it grew in a large area. This thing would not even eat insects, and it was obviously poisonous, so no one dared to eat it.But Qi Bao, who went to the mountains, saw it and said that he had to pick everything back. Aunt Zhou decided to pick only a small basket and dig out the roots.

Father Zhou couldn't screw him, and Father Qi was also used to him, so he let him dig a few and plant them in his backyard.This thing is the most capable of stringing roots, so Father Zhou and Qi secretly inserted shelves on the sides of the few ground fruits to prevent him from delaying the growth of other vegetables by stringing the roots.

After picking this thing off, Qi Bao didn't care much about him, just let it fend for itself.I have to say that the ground fruit is very tenacious in vitality. In addition, it is planted at home without stringing roots. The fruit falls in the ground and can be directly used as fertilizer. When watering vegetables, it can always give some water. Although not much, it is enough for the ground fruit grew up.

It has been so long for three years, and it has become more and more fat.Qi Bao was very satisfied, and secretly ate one. Although it was not as sweet and tender as he remembered, it was a real pesticide-free strawberry. It is conceivable that he was excited.

Picked a few for the adults in the family, except for his grandmother who couldn't bear to disappoint Qi Bao and risked her life to taste one, no one else dared to eat it.Seeing that Grandma Qi Bao was fine later, everyone was relieved, but Qi Bao was still taught a lesson by Father Qi who had just returned home after going out.

After his own orchard was planted, Qi Bao moved the fruit into the orchard, and it grew into a large area within a year, and it is quite large now.

But this thing is not easy to preserve, even if it grows on the stem, as long as it is ripe, it will fall off, and the clay will rot.Although the taste and taste are good, it is not suitable to be shipped to other places for sale because it is not easy to preserve.

In the past two years, it has been sold in two or three counties near Daliushu Village. After people gradually accepted it, the price has soared.To be honest, until now outsiders don't know that this strawberry is the ground fruit in that mountain. Although it looks a bit similar, the ground fruit is known to be poisonous. How can it be compared with such a sweet and delicious strawberry.

Didn't you hear what Zhou Tao said, this is a variety shipped from overseas, and the entire dynasty is the only one, there is no other.

There are people who want to grow them and sell them, Qi Bao also said it, and he doesn't stick to it. He also sells rice seedlings if he wants to buy them.It's just that I spent so much money to buy two seedlings. The strawberry fruits after planting are too difficult to preserve. When they are transported to the county, few of them are in good condition, and they can't be sold at a good price. I really can't earn a few. Money.

Didn't see that Qi's family didn't take this as their main business, they just sold other fruits as a way to sell something, it would be much worse, and they could just earn a car fee.

Moreover, this strawberry is too good at stringing roots, and it only grows for one season, but it will delay the growth of many vegetables in the garden. It is not worthwhile to calculate, so I bought two and went back to surround them except for a few rich ones. If you grow your own Xiangxiangzui, or the big family bought it and went back to plant it to eat fresh, then no one else will grow it.

The problem of preservation is a troublesome matter, and Qi Bao has no good solution. After all, he does not know how to use modern technology, and even if he does, he may not be able to apply it to ancient times.

"Okay, then arrange it like this. In addition, you can get me ten pots of strawberry seeds. My eldest brother may not have eaten strawberries in Shangjing, so go and give him a taste."

Anyway, I have a lot of strawberries in my house, and I don't care about the ten pots and eight pots, so Zhou Tao agreed.

In this way, the meeting gift for Boss Qi was set: four altars of home-made pickled green apricots, five catties of hazelnuts, ten catties of mushrooms, a cart of plums, a cart of Shanlihong, and ten pots of strawberry seeds.

Qi Bao looked around for a couple of times, and found that this was really not ordinary shabby, although in their Qingcheng County, this was not considered a light courtesy, but Qi Bao still felt: it is really shabby enough.

Forget it, his family doesn't have any valuable antiques, and he doesn't have the eyesight to go shopping in antique stores. He really can't pick out anything valuable for his elder brother, so he can't just send a few boxes of silver and tell him elder brother, you My brother is poor now, only a cave full of silver is left.

It's too short, thinking about such a scene, Qi Bao couldn't help but burst out laughing.It's a good thing Zhou Tao wasn't around, otherwise he would have thought his young master was crazy.

The group of people sent by the boss of the Qi family to pick up Qi Bao arrived very quickly. Before leaving, the head of the family gave special instructions. How could this group of people dare to be negligent? They travel by day and night, and it took a full one and a half months to arrive at the university. Willow Village.

Fortunately, Shangjing is in the north. If it were in the south, the snowflakes would be falling by this time.

But when they arrived, it was already the end of summer, and the few strawberries that were still growing on the strawberry plants had long since withered, leaving only the green leaves still sticking out.

Fortunately, the plums and Shanlihong were picked by Qi Bao according to his time. If they are stored properly, they can be stored for a while.Since Qi Bao dared to do this fruit business, he naturally had a way to store it, otherwise the fruit would be spoiled halfway when it was transported to the capital and the Western Regions.

Suddenly, several carriages came to Daliushu Village, all of which were resplendently decorated, and all the people on the carriages were wearing silk clothes, they looked like rich families.A handsome man alighted from the carriage, and asked a few men who were a little foolish with fright which households entered Qi's house together. The hands of the man who guided the way were a little trembling, and after receiving the reward, his feet trembled even more. back home.

Qi Bao was still counting the days with Zhou Tao, instructing Zhou Tao to put aside all the items that had been processed, and waited for the people sent by Boss Qi to come, and they could be loaded and taken away.Grandma Zhou was startled when she heard the knock on the door and went to open it.

It was Zhou Tao who had traveled all over the world and was well-informed, and he was not afraid of the aura of the General's Mansion. After he was stunned for a while, he arranged for people to move the things he and the two of them had just packed into the car, and it took three full cars to load it. Well, the main reason is that potted plants take up space because they are afraid of knocking.

The person sent by the Qi family is the deputy steward of the Qi Mansion in Shangjing. His surname is Qi and his name is She. He was a sinner before, and later fought with Qi Yu. The first emperor was wise and pardoned his crimes, and allowed him to follow Qi Yu. Later, when the soldiers were disarmed and returned to the fields, he became Qi Yu's deputy director. He was grateful for the emperor's kindness and changed his name to Xi.

Xu Liuer just sent a few servants here earlier, but Qi Amnesty was temporarily replaced, which can be regarded as a change in Qi Bao's attitude.After Xu Liu'er was disturbed all night by Qi Yu that day, she also thought about it. She was already the grandmother of three children, and his youngest child was older than this younger brother, so she just treated her as her own.But as a country boy, it is not difficult to take care of him if he thinks about it, he should be disciplined well, so as not to lose the people of the Qi family, and make his husband lose face.
