"Go to Niuwangzhuang?"

Lin Kuo has been staying at the blacksmith shop for the past few days, and he has often heard people in the yard talking about Niuwangzhuang. He did not expect that Luo Meng would want him to send such an invitation. After all, he is a monk like him. , If you have experience or not, if you want to grow herbs, you have to start from scratch. I don’t know how many detours I will take in the future.

"That's right, the range of mountains that can be effectively used by Niuwangzhuang is very limited. Basically, it's the area at the foot of the mountain. If you want to go there, you can go to the mountains above. Of course, you have to be able to move out Only when things come, otherwise, it will take one or two years, or two or three months, and we will have to break up."

The invitation belongs to the invitation. If this person looks unreliable behind him, what should Romon do? If you want to grow herbs, you can give it a try. I can pay for the money to buy the seeds and seedlings, and you can also transfer labor from me. However, I will not pay you a salary. I will give you a dormitory alone, and provide three Meal, when the herbs are harvested later, I will take [-]% and you will take [-]%, how about it?"

"Twenty percent?" Hearing this allocation, Lin Kuo couldn't help but frowned. He is no longer a young boy who just came out of society. Hearing Luo Meng's proposal, he also felt a little wary: "You said earlier If the cooperation in the middle is not happy, we have to break up, so what will happen then?"

Luo Meng didn't mind either, and replied with a smile: "I'm not a person who is eager for quick success, and I don't ask you to achieve much in a short period of time, but after all, we are not familiar with each other yet, just now you said that you want to start from scratch. At first, but you have been in a big company for so many years, and you are used to a comfortable life. If you really want to grow herbs in the mountains, it will be very hard. How do I know how long you can stick to your resolution today? If one day you really When the partnership is disbanded, the herbs planted on the mountain will still be counted to you after they are valued, so you can rest assured that I, Romon, am not such a worthless person."

"Hey, if you really want to grow medicine, you can go to Niuwangzhuang. The conditions there are good and you can get it all together. You can't do it at the blacksmith's shop."

At this time, Lin Bo also persuaded his nephew, this old man has lived to this age, and he has his own wisdom in life, if he has no confidence in Romon's character, he will never intervene This mouth, otherwise his nephew and grand-nephew will be tricked by Luo Meng, and he will not be able to get rid of the responsibility. If it is not done well, he will be treated as an old man who is partnering with others to deceive him.

In the past few months, Lin Bo has also taken this man into his eyes. For such a good buffalo milk, opening a store in the county town can earn much more than their Buffalo Town, which happened to be in the town. Sell ​​it, and it's not expensive.

There are so many old people and children working on Niuwangzhuang every day, not to mention the children. If they have no money or power, they have always been hated, saying that nature chooses the fittest to survive , People in this era are different from before, they are very cruel.

In today's society, the so-called filial piety in the past is gradually being abandoned by people, while the social security system is far from perfect.

There are also young people who are a little bit more extreme, saying that old men and old ladies live so long and they are holding people back. When hearing these words in other people's ears, they may be a little angry, thinking that the younger generation is ignorant, but hearing these old people who are dying In the ears, it is bleak.

Although Luo Meng usually looks a bit stingy, Lin Bo once heard from the dolls in his community that Luo Meng didn't ask people from his school to go to Niuwangzhuang for a spring outing. Recently, he heard that someone nicknamed him Zhou Papi.

But all the old people in Buffalo Town know that this young man is really good, very good.

"Okay, then when will I go there?" Lin Kuo thought for a while and agreed.

He also made this decision after a lot of consideration. If he went to Niuwangzhuang, the conditions there are good. After a few years, he is likely to grow some good herbs. Food and lodging are also included there, at least life is still guaranteed.

In addition to what Lin Bo said just now, and what he heard about Romon's deeds at the blacksmith these days, and the conversation between the two of them face to face, he thinks that Romon can still believable.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Romon really cheated him and planted the herbs, he would have to leave Niuwangzhuang, but at least he could still accumulate a few years of experience, and then go elsewhere Going to plant medicine will not be as dark as it is now.

"You can go there whenever you think it's suitable. Everyone in the yard has my phone number. You just need to call me in advance when the time comes." Luo Meng laughed and said, yes, there is another one in Niuwangzhuang The new general, with his current vision of seeing people and knowing people, ninety-nine percent can't be wrong.

"Then I'll be there tomorrow morning." Lin Kuo wasn't being rude either.

"Okay."

It was almost dark during the conversation, and several people got off the dining table, and sat on the bluestone benches in the yard for a while, talking to each other about the recent events at Niuwangzhuang and the blacksmith shop. Seeing that it was getting late, Romon went After getting up to say goodbye, Xiao Shulin escorted him out of the yard.

"How about it, isn't the chestnut on the mountain good?" Luo Meng drove slowly on a tricycle, while Xiao Shulin walked aside.

"Well, very good." Xiao Shulin nodded, it was very good.

"Then whenever you want, just go there and fight." In fact, he is willing to let Luo Meng get it ready and send it over, but he is more willing to let Xiao Shulin go to Niuwangzhuang, and then the two of them will go up the mountain to hunt chestnuts together. .

"Okay." Xiao Shulin smiled, and asked him again: "There aren't many flowers in Niuwangzhuang these days, right? When the weather gets colder, what will your bees eat?"

"I haven't figured it out yet." This question also made Luo Meng feel a little embarrassed. Now all the flowers that should bear fruit on the mountain have already grown, and the flowering period is basically over. There are still some wolfberry flowers in the wolfberry forest, but there are fewer flowers than before. A lot. Recently, Romon has put a few boxes of bees into the depths of the valley, letting them go up the mountain to collect honey to eat, but in this way, the honey collected by the bees is basically enough for them to eat, and there is very little surplus. .

When the weather gets colder after a while, the mountains around them will not have wild osmanthus flowers like Wangjiazhuang, and the honey source will be completely cut off.In the end, there are two options, one is simpler, feeding honey to the bee colony, blending honey and sugar in proportion, most beekeepers do this.

Otherwise, set up a few greenhouses to grow vegetables and provide honey sources by the way, but the ones suitable for greenhouse cultivation are basically leafy vegetables and cucumbers, which do not require maturity and can be eaten without ripening. Unfortunately, most of the flowers of this type of vegetables and fruits There is little honey.

"Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" Of course, Luo Meng was very happy that Xiao Shulin could take the initiative to care about the operation of Niuwangzhuang.

"When I went shopping in the street two days ago, I saw loquats on the fruit stand. I bought a few and tasted them. They were as light as gourds." At that time, Boss Xiao also said that loquats are made from four seasons. The essence of autumn buds, winter flowers, spring fruits and summer ripeness, how can they be planted like this by the current people? It is only a showy appearance.

"I heard that loquats bloom in winter, and the honey is good. I wanted to grow them at the beginning, but unfortunately we are at a high altitude here, so I'm afraid it won't work well." If the loquats can really be planted, it will naturally solve the problem of honey sources in winter. The loquat honey produced at that time will be another good income, and the loquat fruit harvested in early summer, if you buy it in Jiweilou, the price will be very good.

"How do you know if you don't try it?" Xiao Shulin urged him.

"It's a lot of money to buy loquat seedlings, and our house hasn't been built yet." Luo Meng parked his tricycle on the side of the road, and stood talking with Xiao Shulin. The cool mountain wind blows in bursts.

"Don't worry about the house," Xiao Shulin said.

"Why are you not in a hurry?" Luo Meng was not happy, the weather was going to be cold in a blink of an eye, and he was going to fight in the wild, how could he lose Xiao Shulin so much?

"Here." Xiao Shulin said, then took out a key from his pocket and threw it to Romon.

This big night, thanks to Luo Meng's sharp eyesight and quick hands, he continued: "Where is this key?"

"I bought it on the second floor of a small building in the town." Xiao Shulin grinned proudly.

"You still have the money to buy a house?" Luo Meng rubbed his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed, why is he also the one on the top?

"Not enough, I got it from my dad." Actually, the second floor of the small building really didn't have much money, but it's a pity that Xiao Shulin's pockets are also tight recently, so I asked his father to make some money.Boss Xiao recently wanted to buy grape seedlings, which was also an expense, but he had been the boss of gangsters for more than ten years, and at least he made some money. He only had one son, and he borrowed tens of thousands of yuan. There is no reason not to agree.

"Then let's buy loquat seedlings first?" Luo Meng could see that Xiao Shulin was so anxious to ask him to plant loquats. On the one hand, it was really for the sake of Niuwangzhuang, to solve the problem of honey sources in winter, and to increase two incomes for one honey and one fruit. On the other hand, he himself wanted to eat loquats, really good loquats.

"Well, buy it, don't buy too much for the first time, because it's cold here in winter, don't freeze to death by then."

Although the latitude of Buffalo Town is not very high, the altitude is high. In the plains near Tongcheng, there are indeed people who grow loquats. There is no one here. They are afraid that the temperature will be low in winter and they will freeze to death all at once. .But for Niuwangzhuang, Xiao Shulin was quite confident. He was not superstitious at first, but the feng shui of that place seemed to be better than that of other places, and what he planted made him live and taste delicious.

"Okay." Romon grinned, and looked at the key in his hand again and again, never realizing that the key looks so artistic.

"Okay, then you can go back early."

"Wait a little longer."

"En." Xiao Shulin nodded, but did not refuse.

"I said, why did your dad suddenly think of growing grapes?" If the old man hadn't grown grapes, Xiao Shulin would still be staying with him in Niuwangzhuang.

"A while ago, he just heard Sanya say that a man with a career is attractive."

"Then he took it seriously?" What does a little girl know about movies?

"Well, he said that Sanya's ability to say that is probably due to the influence of the adults in the family."

"How does he know that he didn't learn it from TV?" Luo Meng felt that this judgment was very unreasonable.

"Who knows, but it would be great if these grapes can be grown. My dad is only 59 this year. It's not a problem to always be so idle. Find something to do and live a fulfilling life." No matter what the starting point is, Xiao Shulin was in favor of planting grapes.

"Why don't you ask him to plant less?" The old man didn't have much physical strength, and most of the work had to be done by Xiao Shulin.

"Hey, I just want to save face." Thinking of him as a gang leader, and now he has gone to the mountains to grow grapes, and he only planted one or two acres, the old man felt that he was not aggressive enough.

"Then has he ever thought about hiring someone to help?"

"Recently, Sun Linmu doesn't grow sweet potatoes anymore. If we plant them again this season, we won't be able to catch up with the harvest before winter, so let him come over to help." It just so happens that Sun Linmu is not financially well off, so it would be appropriate to earn some money.

The two squatted on the side of the road for a long time before Luo Meng reluctantly went home. When Xiao Shulin returned to the yard, Boss Xiao was waving his cattail fan to slap mosquitoes. "How long?" he said.

"Tell him about planting loquats." Xiao Shulin replied casually.

"Then what did he say?"

"Maybe to plant."

"Oh, our grape seedlings will arrive in a few days, and next summer there will be loquats and grapes. By the way, there is still a bayberry grove over there, right?" Boss Xiao shook his cattail fan, as if he had seen the fruitful fruits. summer.

"Well, it will bear fruit next year." Xiao Shulin replied.

"Then there will be more food next year." Lin Bo laughed. Although Lin Kuo didn't speak, he also had a faint smile on his face, and there was a gleam in his eyes. He was already looking forward to the future Life in Niuwangzhuang is over, and this kind of mood has not been many in these years. The most recent time was probably the time when I went to a university in another province with my luggage on my back.

And thousands of miles away from the southeast of Buffalo Town, when Lin Chunyu came home in the evening, she saw the cardboard box confiscated by her husband a while ago and returned to the coffee table in their living room, and she still couldn't believe it. eyes, because his husband was afraid of irritating her, so he rarely brought back the snacks that were found to be faulty.

"Honey!" Lin Chunyu put the empty lunch box on the tea table, looked through the contents in the cardboard box, found nothing was missing, and immediately yelled loudly.Since the package was taken away by her husband, there has been no news for a long time. She thought she had been shot again.

"Are you back?" Her husband poked his head out of the kitchen. He was washing vegetables just now, and the sound of the water was a bit loud, so he didn't hear Lin Chunyu's return.

"What's going on here?" Lin Chunyu asked, pointing to the contents of the cardboard box.

"I've checked everything, and there's nothing wrong with it." The man wiped his hands on the apron, leaned against the door frame and said with a smile.

"It's all right?" Lin Chunyu looked at her man in disbelief. Every time he came back from the inspection before, he would tell himself which food was too serious to eat, and which food had less additives and could be eaten a little. Eat a little, which one is relatively safe, you should be fine if you eat it, it has never been like this time, just a simple sentence is fine.

"Well, I have compared everything that can be compared. Didn't you notice that the weight is much less, and the time is also very long this time?"

There are only a few common additives in the market. As long as you know their ingredients and do a simple comparison, you can usually find the problem quickly. If one of the indexes is found to exceed the standard, there is no need to continue testing the rest up.

This time it was different. After dozens of comparisons, he ruled out everything, but still found no problem, not that it exceeded the standard, but there was no problem at all, which made him feel a little puzzled, even from their The food and vegetables consigned from my hometown in the countryside also have certain traces of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, but this time, none of them were detected, which is unreasonable.

With doubts, he conducted an in-depth analysis on the few things his wife bought from the online store. Of course, because the resources of the laboratory were occupied, the time was not so easy to arrange, so it was delayed for a few days. .

As a result, after the test results came out, not only he himself was taken aback, but even the people in their laboratory were also taken aback, and the matter was quickly publicized.

In the afternoon, their leader asked him to go to the office. He thought he was in trouble. After all, it is always bad to occupy laboratory resources for personal affairs.

"Xiao Wan, I heard that your wife is pregnant." Sure enough, as soon as their leader opened his mouth, he mentioned this matter.

"Yeah." Xiao Wan nodded. At this time, it's too much to say.

"How many months?" Their leader asked again.

"It will be eight months in a few days." Xiao Wan replied honestly.

"Oh, I heard that you often take some food to our laboratory for testing?" The leader is now on the right track.

"Yes." Xiao Wan admitted succinctly. He knows the temper of their leader. At this time, the more they make excuses, the more they will be criticized. It is better to be scolded honestly. After all, this is his own foul. up.

What the leader said next was beyond his expectation: "Be careful in the future, although I understand your feelings as a new father, but if you always do this, there will be some rumors outside, which will affect your future in the laboratory." The development is not good, and if we really want to do it, we can’t do it during working hours.”

"I see. I seldom did these things during working hours before. I will pay more attention to it in the future." Xiao Wan quickly agreed.

"That's fine, just pay attention to yourself. By the way, I heard that you just tested a few things today, and the results are amazing?" Their leader asked him again.

"Yes, not only did not find any additives, but also did not find any traces of pesticides and fertilizers. After in-depth laboratory analysis, it was found that these foods are rich in nutrition and balanced, and they are rare safe and healthy." Speaking of this, his face is also concealed. He couldn't help being happy, his wife was crying over these bags of things a few days ago, and she took them home today, and she still doesn't know how happy she will be.

"Is it really edible?" Here, Lin Chunyu has already taken out everything from the cardboard box. There is one package of dried pumpkin and three packages of melon seeds, which are quite a lot.

"Well, I can definitely eat it." If you can't eat this, is there anything you can eat in the world?

"Woo...that's great! I found a few more edible things!" Lin Chunyu said, and opened the bag of dried pumpkins. She had a meal at ten o'clock in the morning and a meal at two o'clock in the afternoon. Zhong ate another meal. He was hungry again just before leaving get off work, but he missed that the pumpkin was dry.

"We'll have dinner later." Her husband reminded helplessly that Lin Chunyu ate very little when she was in a relationship with him, but now she eats four meals a day, and sometimes a supper is added. If you eat too much, it will not be easy to have a baby in the future.

"Woo... I'll just eat a little, suck!" Lin Chunyu wiped away her tears while gnawing on the pumpkin sticks.

"Why are you crying again?"

"Happy! Suck! Leave me alone and go cook." Lin Chunyu said with tears.

"That's fine, don't eat too much." Her husband had no choice but to go back to the kitchen and continue cooking, but just after entering the kitchen, he remembered another thing: "The online store where you bought these things What is it called?"

"What are you doing? Suck!"

"Our leader said yes." Thinking of the false alarm in the afternoon, he also felt a little funny.

"He wants to buy it too? Suck!"

"Well, his wife is just pregnant. She's 41 years old. She's an advanced mother, and she's more cautious than us."
