90s: Koi beauty reborn and became rich

"You must be Congxin's younger sister. I'm from your brother Zheng's family, and they are your brother Zheng's younger brother and sister." The woman said with a smile.

Yi Congxin didn't expect that the owner of the house had come, so he hurriedly called out "sister-in-law" and opened the door to welcome the three people in.

The woman's name is Chen Xuemei. Zheng Donggen's brother and sister are actually twins, a boy and a girl, although they don't look alike at all. The sister's name is Zheng Xiaai and the brother's name is Zheng Xiahuo.

The Zheng family's children are quite interesting. Each of their names contains a medicinal herb. Even the daughter-in-law who was married into the family has the character "梅" (plum) in her name, which means both a flower and a medicinal herb.

It is better to think from the heart.

There was no sofa or coffee table in the living room, only a dining table and a few old chairs, which seemed a bit shabby to sit on. So she invited the three of them to sit on the stone benches in the yard, and together with Xin Yu, she brought three cups of honeysuckle tea and placed them on the stone table.

Chen Xuemei was obviously an open-minded person, and she was even more unceremonious when she came to her old home. "Your brother Zheng asked me to come over and take a look. If there's anything you need at home, just tell me and I'll get it for you."

Before coming, Zheng Donggen told her that among the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, Yi Congxin was the one in charge, so she must not disturb the grandfather.

Chen Xuemei knew what was going on.

Zheng Donggen kept saying "I received some good medicinal materials again" a few days ago. Out of curiosity, she asked a few questions and got to know this girl.

A few days ago, her husband came home and told the children the story of the "battle of magic" between Yi Congxin and Wang Quan like a storyteller. She understood more clearly that her father-in-law and husband would definitely have a lot of dealings with this girl in the future.

Since Yi Congxin was a benefactor of Zheng's and a hired "pharmacist", Chen Xuemei was naturally very enthusiastic.

Now she also followed the "custom", standing not too far away and not too close, greeted the old man, praised Xin Yu for being tall and handsome, and then chatted with Yi Congxin.

"Speaking of this, I have to thank you and Brother Zheng very much. The house is so well-equipped, and we live very well and comfortably." Yi Congxin thanked him politely.

The Zheng family's service is so good that they even provide door-to-door after-sales service.

Oh, it’s not even for sale, the three of them are living there for free.

That must be a five-star rating.

"I don't know what you need, but my hometown just happened to send some of the first crop of grapefruit this year. Let you try some." As Chen Xuemei said this, she asked Zheng Xiahuo to open the woven bag.

Zheng Xiahuo looked like a very energetic young man, but for some reason, he suddenly became a little flustered.

Zheng Xiaai looked at his younger brother Zheng Xiahuo and winked at his sister-in-law playfully.

Zheng Xiahuo became more and more embarrassed as he became more anxious, and it took him a long time to untie the rope.

Fortunately, as soon as the bag was opened, a tempting fragrance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The grapefruits inside are all big, each weighing at least two kilograms.

Chen Xuemei immediately took out an extra-large one with a pointed head and a big butt. She weighed it with her hand and found it was good, heavy and ripe.

Chen Xuemei skillfully peeled off the orange-yellow skin with her bare hands. The fruit had a "thin skin and a large filling", and the flesh was thick and as smooth as Hetian jade.

In an instant, the air was filled with a rich fragrance that was slightly sour, sweet, and slightly bitter. Even the old man standing far away could smell it and looked over here.

"What a sweet smell!" Yi Congxin couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Xuemei smiled at her proudly.

Nanming Province is a major producer of pomelo, and the honey pomelo from her hometown is something she has been used to eating since she was a child. It is everywhere in the mountains and fields.

She handed a large piece to Yi Congxin, and gave one piece to each of the three younger ones, then looked at Yi Congxin with a smile.

There are almost no seeds under the thin skin of the pomelo segments, only large white fleshy fruit particles.

It is best to gently tear the skin from the center, break off a small piece and put it in your mouth.

A mouthful of juice.

The sweet and sour juice immediately moistened the entire mouth!

Xin Yu also threw a piece into his mouth.

The two of them widened their eyes almost at the same time: It’s so delicious!

The honey sweetness is tempered by a hint of sourness, and the fragrance is incomparable. The fresh and refreshing taste dances on the tip of the tongue. Every bite is a kind of enjoyment. One grapefruit is not enough.

Seeing that everyone was enjoying the meal, Chen Xuemei was also happy, and she opened another one with her bare hands, which was just enough for everyone to enjoy.

Yi Congxin wiped the sweet juice from the corner of his mouth and savored it with satisfaction, "Sister-in-law, you really spent a lot of money. Such a good grapefruit must be very expensive."

Although it is not the grapefruit and red pomelo that she often ate in her previous life, the taste of this grapefruit is no less than those two.

"They are everywhere in the mountains and are not worth much. If you like them, you can have as much as you want! I'll send you some more!" Chen Xuemei said happily.

The local land and water nurture the local products.

Her hometown is Shanxi Town, Guanping County, where the tradition of growing honey pomelo dates back over 500 years, dating back to the Ming Dynasty. It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, the pomelo from her hometown was even brought into the imperial palace as a tribute.

However, for a long period of time - in the era of "taking grain as the key link", in this deep mountain valley where the average person had only half an acre of land, the mountain people planted rice on the only small piece of flat land. Unfortunately, they still lived a life of "looking forward to a better next year, but still not having enough to eat next year".

Even so, people in the mountains rarely take the initiative to plant pomelo trees, because planting pomelo will waste the fields and make life only more difficult.

Fortunately, she married into the city and the Zheng family. Otherwise, if she stayed in the mountains, she really didn’t know whether she could have enough food.

As for living in an apartment building with TV, electricity, and telephone, I couldn't even imagine that when I was a kid.

Perhaps Yi Congxin was now obsessed with making money, and when he heard the words "not worth much money", he was immediately confused.

"Our grapefruits are so good, they should be sold at a high price." She

Chen Xuemei came back to her senses.

She had a liking for Yi Congxin, who was handsome and straightforward, and couldn't help but start talking.

"It's good, but when the pomeloes came down in September, there was no time to pick them. Many fell to the ground and no one cared about them, so they all went bad. The roads up the mountain are difficult to walk on, and the villagers carried baskets down the mountain, but it was too late. After all, they had to keep up with the farm work. We sold the pomeloes as much as we could, but it was just a bonus."

There was an unconcealable pity in her tone.

The people in the mountains also know that this thing is good. Who in their mountains doesn't have one or two pomelo trees? Not to mention the old trees and wild trees growing by the mountain streams, there are even more.

The woven bag she brought was made from the old trees and wild trees.

only……

Pomelos grow on high mountains where the roads are narrow and rugged. It is difficult to carry them by ox carts or sheep carts. Even if a small truck comes to pull them occasionally, the truck can only stop at the foot of the mountain and the people have to carry the fruits down manually.

There are people in the mountains who are busy working with grapefruit, but in the end they can't even earn enough to eat, so most of them have given up the idea of ​​making money from grapefruit.

Yi Congxin's first reaction was also pity.

Why is this pomelo so unlucky!

She felt sorry for the pomelo.
