The life of farming in ancient times with a system

Chapter 145

Several new dishes have appeared in nearby large and small restaurants.Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, honey water mixed with tomatoes, fried meat with peppers, etc. are all very popular among diners.

The supermarket is overcrowded every day, some people come for the fresh vegetables, and some people come for the playground inside the supermarket.The playground is very popular with children, and its reputation has been spread all of a sudden, attracting more children to come. Standing at the door, you can hear the excited laughter of the children.

A group of people quietly came to this small county town, led by a young son, dressed in brocade clothes, with beautiful jade hanging around his waist, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking very personable.Next to him was a handsome-looking brother with a delicate face.The facial features of the two people are somewhat similar, and they seem to be brothers.

The two walked one after the other, followed by three or four guards.These people's eyes are shining brightly, their bodies are strong and powerful, their temples are bulging high, they look like Lianjiazi.

"Brother, these people seem to be talking about a supermarket." My brother looked around for a long time, and said to his brother curiously.

The elder brother opened the fan with a swish, showing a romantic and suave smile: "Go and see."

They come here for fame.

They didn't bother to come to such a small place.It is said that troublesome people come out of poor mountains and rivers, so there must be no fun in such a poor place.When visiting nearby counties, many people told them that this small place produced a lot of new things.For example, there is a fruit called watermelon, which appeared in winter, but the price is very expensive, and only some rich people can eat it. . .

The two brothers had never seen anything, hadn't eaten any good things, and when they heard that there were things they hadn't seen, they suddenly became curious and brought people here excitedly.

The nursing home stopped a pedestrian and asked, "Where is that supermarket?"

Pedestrians pointed at them and said to them, "Did you see that? People are running to that place, and there is a supermarket over there. Look at you, you are from other places, right?"

Few people come here in a small place. People who live in this area are all acquaintances. Everyone knows each other without looking up or down.Passers-by glanced at them and saw that they were well dressed and they were all unfamiliar faces, so they guessed that they were from other places.

Nursing courtyard nodded: "Yes, we are out to play, just came from other places, I heard that you have a lot of delicious local dishes here."

The passer-by smiled: "Then you have come to the right place. Hurry up and go to the supermarket. Today we are selling open-seed watermelon, and there are many delicious things in it. I guarantee that your trip will be worthwhile."

The group thanked the pedestrians and followed the flow of people to find the supermarket.

Gongsun Jiang looked inside, and said strangely: "This is a supermarket? It looks ordinary, nothing special."

Gongsun Cong waved his fan, raised his legs and walked inside: "You can see it when you go in, and you can't tell it from the outside."

Gongsun Jiang pouted and said, "Brother always doesn't wait for me. When he came out, Huang... Ah asked you to take good care of me. Don't forget."

Gongsun Cong stopped in his tracks, and said with a dark face, "Don't keep using Ah Mo to oppress you, haven't I taken care of you enough along the way?"

"Then you wait for me, let's go in together." Gongsun Jiang happily walked over and took his brother's hand coquettishly.

Gongsun Cong gave him a helpless look, and took the hand pendant into the supermarket.

As soon as they entered, they were attracted by the strong aroma.How should I put it, there is an indescribable smell in the air, the choking smell of vinegar, the two smells are intertwined, it is indescribably alluring.

Gongsun Jiang's eyes lit up, he took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good."

He had never smelled this kind of smell before.

"Go and have a look." Gongsun Cong said.

A group of people came closer, only to find that there were several stalls, and there were people lined up in front of each stall.He pointed to a nursing home and asked him to queue up first.The two brothers walked inside curiously, and were immediately attracted by a booth.

This stall sells exactly the seedless watermelons.

The sales staff cut a large watermelon in half on the spot, and then showed it to the customers on the spot.

"Did you see it? This is a seedless watermelon without a single watermelon seed, so it tastes sweeter."

"Taste before you buy, it's not too late to buy if you think it's delicious."

"A person can only taste one piece, it's not okay to taste too much."

The two halves of the watermelon were cut into smaller pieces and placed on a wooden tray by the staff.When I heard that it was available to try, it was sold out immediately.

Gongsun Jiang and Gongsun Cong, relying on their identities, did not attempt to snatch them. Instead, they sent two guards over to snatch a few slices of watermelon.

Gongsun Jiang took it in his hand and finished eating it in two or three bites.There was a lot of juice on his hands, and he stuck out his tongue to lick the juice off, with an unsatisfactory expression on his face.

"It's so sweet." Gongsun Jiang said.

Gongsun Cong also finished eating the watermelon in his hand, and quickly asked the nurse to buy it: "Buy some more."

He wanted to buy more, but unfortunately he couldn't buy them even if he had money.

I asked the staff, and the staff said that due to the limited quantity and too many people buying, each person can only buy one at most.

Gongsun Jiang was very dissatisfied: "If you have money and can't buy things, can't you get more and sell them?"

Fortunately, there were many people who came, and everyone bought one, and also bought a lot of seedless watermelons.

After shopping, the nurses who lined up to eat also grabbed their seats.After a few bites, Gongsun Jiang was overwhelmed by the taste, and said while eating, "Wow, it's so delicious."

Gongsun Cong also found it delicious, even after eating two big bowls, bead-sized beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

After coming out of the supermarket, the group immediately found an inn to stay.

"This supermarket is very interesting. I want to meet the boss behind." Gongsun Cong ordered the nursing home to contact the manager of the supermarket.

At the beginning, the steward didn't take things seriously.Since the supermarket opened, there have been countless people who want to see the boss.

Until the nursing home took out a token representing its identity, and let the steward look indifferently.After the steward finished reading, the sweat dripped from his head, and he hurriedly sent someone to find Jiang Ruonian.Lin Shen and Jiang Daizhen are not here, Jiang Ruonian is the biggest boss.

The watermelon in the field was ripe, Lin He said a lot of good things, and then persuaded Qingming to go to the field with him.Lin He followed Lin Shen's example and knocked on the watermelon a few times to judge whether the watermelon was ripe or not by the sound.If it is confirmed that it is a ripe watermelon, it will be taken down and put on the cart borrowed by Lin He.

Qingming is skeptical of his technique, and can tell if a watermelon is ripe with just a few taps.He patted the watermelon on the cart and asked Lin He, "Are you sure the watermelon on the cart is ripe?"

They planned to transport watermelons to the county town and sell watermelons to passers-by.Watermelon is a rare commodity, and the price is not cheap.When selling watermelon, always cut it open to see, if the watermelon is not ripe, it will be bad.

"It's done, it must be done." Lin He said confidently.

As soon as the watermelon stall was set up, people gathered around and asked about the price of the watermelon.

Lin He was very happy and felt that he was about to make a fortune.

People asked him whether watermelon was sweet or not.

He patted his chest and said, it must be sweet, sweeter than the watermelon in the supermarket.

People asked him again if the watermelon was ripe.

He took a watermelon, cut it with a kitchen knife, and flaunted: "You can see for yourself whether it is ripe."

There was silence all around.People looked at him strangely.

Lin He lowered his head to take a look, and it was dark in front of his eyes.

The cut watermelon is pink, not yet ripe deep red.

"I'm not familiar with it." People said one after another.

"This was an accident, the next one will definitely be ripe." Lin He threw away the half-ripe watermelon with a face of embarrassment, picked up another watermelon, and raised the knife. . .

"Another stranger."

"I'm not familiar with it."

Lin He's face turned darker, he didn't believe in evil anymore, he cut open five or six watermelons in a row, all of them were half-baked.Seeing that the watermelons were not ripe, no matter how hype Lin He said, people stopped buying watermelons here.

There is also a watermelon stand opposite, Lin Bing has other things to do, the watermelon stand is handed over to Zhou Zichu, and Zhou Zichu has to take care of the children.Unlike Lin He and Qing Ming who would yell loudly, there was a lot of commotion on Lin He's side, and all the people in the market were attracted, so there were no people in front of his booth.

The watermelon that Lin He cut out was not ripe, and the people walked away in great disappointment. Finally, someone noticed Zhou Zichu's watermelon stall.

"You also sell watermelons, are your watermelons ripe?" someone asked.

"It's familiar." Zhou Zichu said impatiently.

"Just now that person also said that the watermelons he sells are ripe, but they are all unripe. You can cut a watermelon and have a look."

Zhou Zichu held out a watermelon and thought anxiously: The watermelon picked out by the third child should be ripe, right?

Lin Bing was too busy to go home, and Lin Shen and Jiang Daizhen were at home again, taking great care of them.It is the first time to grow watermelons, and I don't have much experience, so I don't know which watermelons are ripe.Lin Shen came to the watermelon field in person and helped him pick out the ripe watermelons.Zhou Zichu also heard the movement from Linhe, and he was also worried that the watermelons he had worked so hard to transport to the market would not be ripe.

With apprehension, Zhou Zichu cut open the watermelon in his hand.

It is red in the eyes, and there is a sweet taste of watermelon, which radiates together.

Zhou Zichu raised his eyebrows with joy: "Look, my watermelon is ripe."

In the blink of an eye, the watermelon that Zhou Zichu brought over sold for seven or eighty-eight.

Lin He stared hotly.

Damn it, why can't his watermelons be sold?

Qingming was also anxious, and gave him a light push: "Didn't you say that the watermelon you picked is guaranteed to be ripe?"

"How do I know?" Lin He said irritably.

He saw with his own eyes that this is how Lin Shen picked watermelons, so why did he pick out watermelons that were unfamiliar?

Qingming complained: "I told you earlier, I asked you to go to the third child to learn from it. You insisted that you know how to pick watermelons. How are you doing now? There are so many watermelons that are not ripe when cut, who are we going to sell them to?"

"Let's eat by ourselves." Lin He said angrily.

As he spoke, he picked up a half-baked watermelon and buried himself in eating it.

Qingming had no choice but to eat with him.

The two of them were full and hadn't finished eating the cut watermelon.

Forget it, no one cared about the watermelon, and all the people who bought watermelon went to Zhou Zichu's stall.

Lin He stood up and looked at it for a while, then sat down and said to Qing Ming: "Is it because the two stalls are too close together that his family has taken away our business?"

Qing Ming was so sun-baked that he said weakly, "Maybe."

The more Lin He thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right.If Zhou Zichu's booth was moved to the back, maybe his business would be better.

Just do it, he got up and went over there, asking Zhou Zichu to move the booth.

Holding the child in his arms, Zhou Zichu said unconvincingly, "Where are you going?"

Lin Bing had something to do, so he helped him put the watermelon here and left.Zhou Zichu was overwhelmed with the children alone and looking at the watermelon stall.Lin He came forward with his waist straightened, relying on his tall and burly appearance, and letting others put the stall in an inconspicuous place in the back may not mean to bully others.

"Move over there, I think the place next to the wall is very good, the sun is not shining, and the place is still quiet." Lin He said aggressively.

Zhou Zichu bit his lip, as if he dared not speak out.

But the person next to him couldn't see it, and said, "That place is so good, why don't you move over there?"

Lin He glared at the man, and said loudly, "I don't want to move, so let him move."

Zhou Zichu said pitifully: "There are so many watermelons, I can't move them alone."

Zhou Zichu also knew that this stall was good, with a lot of traffic and it was particularly conspicuous.Before long, all his watermelons were sold out.He didn't want to move, but Lin He let him move.

"I'll help you look after the children, just these few watermelons, you can't move them alone."

As he spoke, Lin He pulled the child into his arms regardless of whether the child was willing or not.

The child was frightened by such rough treatment, opened his small mouth and burst into tears, attracting all the pedestrians nearby.Those people looked at Lin He with unfriendly eyes, making him irritable.

"Why are you crying? I'll give you watermelon." Lin He looked impatient, and was about to leave with the child.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded like a bell: "What happened?"

Lin He was taken aback, turned his head with a creak, and stared fixedly in one direction.

Lin Bing pushed away the onlookers, and appeared in front of him with a few unfamiliar faces.

Seeing that Zhou Zichu's lips trembled a few times, as if he was about to talk to Lin Bing, Lin He shivered and said loudly, "Brother, why are you here?"

What Zhou Zichu was about to say was naturally interrupted by him.

Lin Bing took a look at Zhou Zichu and the child, and found that they were fine and did not look like they were injured. He breathed a sigh of relief, and said casually, "I want to bring some guests home, what's wrong?"

Lin He glanced at those people, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I want to take the child to play, the child seems a little afraid of me."

Seeing Lin Bing, the child happily ran over, called "Daddy", and then climbed up on Lin Bing familiarly.

Gongsun Cong watched with interest, and said to Lin Bing, "It's nothing else, I hope we'll set off right away."

"Okay." Lin Bing nodded, and he said something to Zhou Zichu in a low voice, Zhou Zichu said awkwardly: "There are still a dozen or so watermelons that can be sold out."

"It's not for sale anymore, pack it up and go home," Lin Bing said.

Zhou Zichu turned around to pack his things.

Just at this time, someone came to buy watermelon again, Zhou Zichu put down his things and chatted with the customer.

Lin He saw Gongsun Cong and Gongsun Jiang, as well as the guards beside them.At first glance, he felt that the identities of these two people were unusual. The clothes they were wearing, the beautiful jade hanging around their waists, and the aura radiating from their bodies all showed that they were either rich or noble. .

He walked up to Lin Bing and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what do these people do?"

Lin Bing shook his head honestly and said, "I don't know either, the eldest son asked me to be more respectful to them."

Lin He's eyes lit up instantly, and he took a few more sneaky glances.

Looking at it, Gongsun Jiang suddenly looked over and said with an unhappy face, "What are you looking at?"

This glance was very oppressive, and Lin He was so frightened that he felt timid, and quickly looked away.

There are still a few watermelons left that have not been sold, and they are packed and put on the carriage.Zhou Zichu also got into the carriage with the child in his arms. Lin Bing greeted Lin He and led the team of carriages away.

"There are so many carriages, they must be rich people." Passers-by are saying.

Lin He was a little absent-minded, and kept thinking about the identities of those people.Even if Zhou Zichu left, his watermelon didn't sell much, and it was already spread in the market that his watermelon was not ripe. . .

"This road is too broken, and the bones in my whole body are about to be broken. If you didn't use eight horses to pull me to see something new, I wouldn't come to such a broken place." Gongsun Jiang Fu He bent down and got out of the carriage, and opened his mouth to complain.

Gongsun Cong nodded at him with the tip of his fan and said, "I told you to stay at the inn, and you will come here with all your might. If you come here, and you think this or that, what do you want me to say?"

Lin Bing waited on the side, and when they finished talking, he said: "The road ahead is not easy to walk, the car can't get on, we need to go up by ourselves."

Looking in the direction he pointed, Gongsun Jiang softened his body and said, "Why can't they think about it and want to live in such a high place?"

Gongsun Cong lifted the hem of his clothes and walked up first.

Seeing that his elder brother had left, Gongsun Jiang was too embarrassed to complain, so he had to follow behind with a sullen face.

Zhou Zichu pulled the child, looked up carefully, and asked Lin Bing next to him in a low voice, "Who are they?"

Lin Bing said: "Don't ask, this is someone you and I can't afford to offend. The eldest son told me in private that the identities of these two people are beyond words."

After hearing this, Zhou Zichu became even more curious.

But there were so many people here that it was obviously not a place to talk, so he had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart and follow behind to walk up.

The courtyard door was wide open, and there were laughter and laughter in the courtyard.

Lin Shen planted a lot of fruit trees in the yard. Although they haven't produced fruit yet, they still look lush and lush.In addition to these, a lot of flowers were planted, butterflies and bees were flying among the flowers, next to it was a green bamboo forest, and two flower galleries were built, all of which were made of bamboo, and the wisterias were in bloom, falling down like a waterfall , the other is a vine, with bunches of small grapes on it, which looks crystal clear.

The weather was hot, Jiang Daizhen and Lin Shen sat in the flower gallery to cool off.
