The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

When we arrived at the provincial capital, we still stayed at Cheng Mansion.

After the goods were delivered and the payment was settled, the new album was given to Mr. Cheng, and the letter was given to the housekeeper to pass on to Cheng Yunxiang. Then the three of them washed up and went to bed.

The next day, after breakfast, Zhou Dajiang took Zhou Dahe to Luyuan Escort Agency to take Xu Wu's letter away first, and then went to Qiancheng Bookstore to take a look. He asked the clerk that although Zhou Sisi's two sets of comic books and Chen's mother's dolls did not sell as much as at the beginning, they were still selling very well, especially the picture albums, which had many people following the serialization.

After Zhou Dajiang inquired about the situation, he felt relieved and went directly to the greenhouse with Zhou Dahe.

The shopkeeper at the flower shop clearly recognized Zhou Dajiang and greeted him warmly, "Sir, you're here! Please come in. What would you like to buy today? We've got a lot of new varieties, including saplings. Would you like to take a look?"

Zhou Dajiang nodded quickly, and the shop owner led the two of them into the shed inside.

The store did indeed stock up many more saplings. In addition to peach and fruit tree saplings, Zhou Dajiang also saw jujube and hawthorn saplings, but the number was not as large as the first two.

Zhou Dajiang was very happy. While choosing, he chatted with the shopkeeper and learned about the planting methods and precautions of jujube and hawthorn trees.

Because the store had few of these two saplings and no one was interested, seeing Zhou Dajiang's interest and hoping to buy them quickly, he explained them in detail. After that, Zhou Dajiang waved his hand and bought the entire batch of ten hawthorn trees and fifteen jujube tree saplings.

The happy shop owner gave him a pot of chili peppers. When Song Dajiang saw it, he thought, "Oh, that's great. I was just about to go to the spice shop to buy some dried chili peppers, but I didn't expect that there were even potted chili peppers here." He quickly pointed at the chili peppers and asked the shop owner, "What is this called? It looks pretty good. Do you have more?" Zhou Dajiang was worried that it was not called chili peppers in ancient times, so he asked a few more questions.

Fortunately, he asked a little more, and the shopkeeper replied, "This is a 'beauty pepper.' Look at it, it's red and slender, just like a little beauty. I have five more pots in the shop. If you want to buy one, I'll bring them all over to you right away."

The shop owner walked out and thought, this customer seems to be someone who likes new things. He also has a fresh plant at home, which he will move over when he has time.

Seeing that the shopkeeper had gone out, Zhou Dahe looked at the "beauty pepper" in front of him curiously. The fruit was small and exquisite, and looked quite nice, but he didn't know whether it was sweet, so he picked one and put it in his mouth.

Zhou Dajiang watched him commit suicide without saying a word.

Zhou Dahe's face instantly turned red. "Pah! Pah!" He quickly spat out the chili pepper in his mouth and said, "Oh, it's so spicy!"

Then, like that big dog, he opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and fanned it violently with one hand, as if that would provide relief.

Zhou Dajiang laughed inwardly, "Serves you right! See if you dare to eat anything carelessly again?" while going to the store to get him a glass of water.

Zhou Dahe drank two glasses of water to suppress the spiciness. He said curiously, "Brother, this 'beauty pepper' tastes very similar to the peppers in the spicy rabbit head that my sister-in-law makes, but they're not as spicy!"

Zhou Dajiang pretended not to know, otherwise he would have been exposed if he hadn't stopped him.

He was surprised and said, "Really? Both of them have the character jiao in their names. Maybe they have the same ancestor."

Zhou Dahe nodded in agreement, "Possibly!"

As the two were talking, the shop owner quickly brought over the remaining pots of "beauty peppers".

Zhou Dajiang looked at them and thought they all looked good. He asked the price and bought them all without any hesitation!

The shop owner was so happy that he asked his boy to go to his house and move the "lantern fruit" from his house. Anyway, the Spring Festival was over, and it would be even better if Zhou Dajiang could buy some.

After Zhou Dajiang bought some peppers, he didn't forget his business and went to look at the fruit and peach seedlings.

I also asked carefully whether the apples were sweet. I forgot to ask this after buying them last time, so I have to think about it this time.

The shopkeeper replied, "Don't worry about that. I've eaten this apple before. It's the same variety as last time. It's sweet, crisp and sweet."

When Zhou Dajiang heard it was sweet, he said, "Great!"

“How many trees do you have now?”

"Some of the two-year-old trees have been sold, and there are less than 20 left. There are quite a few three-year-old trees, about 50 or so."

Zhou Dajiang had six hundred taels in his pocket from his daughter, and he had received another hundred or so taels yesterday. He had plenty of money, so he said proudly, "I'll take them all!"

Zhou Dahe didn't know that his second brother had made a big fortune. His mother didn't tell them at all when she came home last night.

I was dumbfounded and asked, "Why did you buy so much? Can we plant it in the fields?"

Zhou Dajiang looked at his brother pitifully. It seemed that his mother had not told him, so he said lightly: "I bought a mountain, and these are not enough!"

Zhou Dahe...

It took a long time to react, "You, you, you, I, I,"

Seeing him with his mouth open, unable to finish his words, Zhou Dajiang laughed, "Did your jaw drop to the ground? You, you, you what? You heard right, it's a mountain, but not too big, it's the Xiaomao Mountain in the neighboring village."

Zhou Dahe finally came to his senses this time. It was his fault for being so ignorant. Xiaomao Mountain wasn't small, was it? It was still a mountain!

The shopkeeper saw the excitement and knew that Zhou Dajiang would make a big purchase today, so he enthusiastically recommended other varieties to him.

After buying this kind of fruit tree seedlings, Zhou Dajiang didn't want to buy any other varieties. It was almost enough. He couldn't just plant apple trees, so he wanted to plant some peach trees.

So he went back to look at the peach saplings and asked again, "Are the peaches sweet?"

He originally thought the shopkeeper would say it was sweet, but he said with a bitter face: "Don't mention it. I was ripped off by someone when I loaded the goods this time. After the truck was loaded, they told me that there were more than 20 different varieties, and they seemed to be sour.

This made me have to pick for a long time when I got back, for fear that I would pick the wrong one and sell the sour peach saplings to others.

Sour? Sour is fine too! Aren't canned peaches made from golden peaches? Those are the sour ones that make your teeth fall out. Anyway, he just hates the sourness.

Zhou Dajiang's mind was in turmoil, but he didn't show it on his face.

Then he said, "That person is really not very honest. So what are you going to do with those sour peach seedlings?"

"What else can I do? Find it and return it next time. Who would buy something so sour like this?"

Zhou Dajiang said pretentiously: "How about you sell it to me at a low price, and then I can go back and graft it with sweet peach branches, which will be just as good."

The shopkeeper's eyes widened. "You can do this?"

"Of course. The wisdom of our ancestors cannot be underestimated. If you don't believe me, go back and try it."

The shop owner knew about the grafting method, but he had never considered it before. Zhou Dajiang's words seemed to open a new door for him.

"Yeah! I'll give it a try later!

Since you want that sour peach sapling, I'll sell it to you cheaply. Just give me the top price."

"That's fine. I want all those sour peach saplings."

After Zhou Dajiang finished talking about the sour peach saplings, he bought more than twenty two-year-old peach saplings, the same as last time, and more than forty three-year-old peach saplings. Feeling that the amount was enough, he paid half of the price.

Then, he discussed with the shop owner. Since they were only driving an ox cart this time and the saplings could not fit in, he paid for the fare and asked if they could find a few cars to help deliver the saplings to Qingshangou.

With such a big customer, the store owner must take good care of it, so he said, "Okay! When are you leaving? I'll arrange a car for you."

Because he still needed to buy people, Zhou Dajiang made an appointment with the store owner the day after tomorrow morning.

After buying everything, Zhou Dajiang was about to go to the seed shop next door to take a look when the boy who had gone to the shop owner's house to get the "lantern fruit" came back.

The shop assistant was holding a large flower pot in his hands. The shopkeeper came over to help him and carried the pot to Zhou Dajiang, saying, "Sir, I have a new thing here called a 'lantern fruit'. Are you interested?"
