The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 63

On the second day, the three of Zhao Yunlan and Zhao Yunlan went to town early in the morning. Li Mingyi still opened the shop as normal, and Li Mingren helped to collect the bills in the shop after buying pens and inks. Save some time.

Zhao Yunlan went to shopkeeper Wu to ask about the situation in the Zhuangzi household in Zhennan.

"Ms. Zhao, what are you doing here today? Find a place to sit by yourself, and come when I'm done?" Shopkeeper Wu was cleaning up the dusty cloth in the backyard, and he was covered in ashes.

Zhao Yunlan didn't sit down, but stood in the backyard and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, it's okay, you're busy with your work, I just want to ask you about the family in the Zhuangzi over there."

Shopkeeper Wu stopped, called a waiter to clean up, and turned to fetch water from the well to wash his hands.

Zhao Yunlan watched Shopkeeper Wu rubbing his hands with something that looked like soap, and asked curiously, "Shopkeeper Wu, what is this? You wash your hands so clean."

Shopkeeper Wu smiled: "This is the soap brought back from the shop in Fucheng. It sells well, and the washing is also very clean. I also have a few smaller bath beans here. Mrs. Zhao took it back and tried it. "

Zhao Yunlan didn't delay, looking at this bath bean, that is, the big piece of soap made into a small ball and rolled into a ball!It's small and cute.

Zhao Yunlan had a thought in her mind, so she put it aside.He only asked, "Does shopkeeper Wu know about that family?"

Wu Zhanggui asked Zhao Yunlan to sit in the house and said, the two went in one after the other, Wu shopkeeper said: "Yes! That's the old man of the Liu family. It is said that the old man Liu retired from his old age last year and planned to return to the main house of the Liu family in Jiangcheng. On the other hand, his eldest son is the prefect Liu of our Jinzhou City, and he wants to bring the old man to Jinzhou to live together, but the old man wants to enjoy the old life of the two with the old lady. The father and son stalemate for a while. The father and son felt a little uncomfortable in their bodies, so they each took a step back, and then there was the matter of Old Master Liu building a villa in this small Qingshui Town."

Zhao Yunlan sighed, "This prefect Liu is really rich."

Shopkeeper Wu: "Although the Liu family has a prominent family background, the prefect Liu is a clean official. Since the prefect Liu took office in Jinzhou, we ordinary people in Jinzhou City have had a much better life."

Zhao Yunlan nodded, agreeing with Shopkeeper Wu on this point.Almost knowing the other party's background, Zhao Yunlan got up to say goodbye, not forgetting to take those bath beans when she left.

When Zhao Yunlan returned to the shop, Guanshi Sun was looking for Li Mingyi in the shop: "Brother Mingyi, when will the expert you mentioned come?"

Li Mingyi said: "Sun Guanshi, come today, wait a moment, I will ask my elder brother to look for it."

As soon as Li Mingyi turned around, he watched Zhao Yunlan come in.

"Sister-in-law, this is Steward Sun." Li Mingyi introduced, "This is my sister-in-law. Steward Sun can ask my sister-in-law to check on the condition of the flower first."

Steward Sun took a look, and saw that the lady in front of him was dressed neatly, "Sister-in-law of the Li family, please come with me."

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "Alright, Steward Sun, lead the way."

Li Mingren still wanted to follow, Zhao Yunlan shook his head, Li Mingyi had no choice but to hold Li Mingren back.

Zhao Yunlan followed Steward Sun to the Zhuangzi, only to see the simple words "Liu's Small Courtyard" written on the plaque.

Steward Sun led Zhao Yunlan around the main entrance and came to the side entrance, "Sister-in-law of the Li family, please come in."

Zhao Yunlan nodded, and followed Steward Sun in, looking all the way, how could this be a small courtyard!Just the area around the side door is twice as big as the little rags in Lijia Village.

The two walked for a quarter of an hour, and Zhao Yunlan saw the greenhouse in front of her, a big room full of various flowers.

Manager Sun explained: "The flowers in this house have just been transplanted, and they will be transplanted outside once they have established themselves here.

Zhao Yunlan nodded, and followed Steward Sun to the pepper trees. Zhao Yunlan took a look at the peppers. The leaves were yellowish, with many spots, and some of them could hardly stand.

Steward Sun asked, "Sister-in-law of the Li family has a solution."

Zhao Yunlan looked at the soil and found that it was too fertile, and also felt that the temperature of the peppers here was a bit high.Just as he was about to speak, Old Master Liu hurried over: "Old Sun, it is said that you brought back someone who can grow this kind of pepper?"

Guanshi Sun: "Go back to the old lady, yes. It is this lady."

Old Master Liu looked at Zhao Yunlan, cupped his hands and said, "Oh, what's the name of this lady?"

Zhao Yunlan returned a salute: "The woman's maiden name is Zhao, and she met the old man."

Mrs. Liu: "Miss Zhao, is there a way?"

Zhao Yunlan: "Hmm! Old man, this pepper should have been given too much fat. Of course, where is this piece next to? It feels hotter here than other places in the house."

Steward Sun replied: "Beside this wall is the kitchen. The kitchen cooks and burns fire every day. Naturally, it needs to be warmer."

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "That's right, I think there is also this reason."

Grandpa Liu was surprised and said, "Ms. Zhao has planted this thing before?"

Zhao Yunlan: "No."

Old Master Liu: "Then how can Mrs. Zhao see the problem at once?"

Zhao Yunlan: "It's just that I thought that this kind of flower is like growing food. The cold or heat, water, day, and fertility needed should be just right. My father-in-law often taught us this way. I was lucky enough to see this pepper flower on the street that day. Be brave enough to give it a try.”

Old Mrs. Liu laughed: "You are so brave. I wonder if Mrs. Zhao can stay in this small courtyard for a while and help the old man take care of these pepper plants every day."

Zhao Yunlan: "I can come and have a look every day. There are old people and children at home, so it's inconvenient to stay."

Old Mrs. Liu: "Okay, then please trouble Mrs. Zhao."

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "No trouble.

Zhao Yunlan is very happy at the moment, as long as she can get access to these peppers, she will definitely find a way to get one to plant later.Fortunately, when I saw other people growing peppers, I asked a lot about the precautions for growing peppers.

Zhao Yunlan was not in a hurry to go back, and helped Steward Sun transplant the peppers. Zhao Yunlan also borrowed a pen and paper to record the planting of peppers.

Mrs. Liu was very pleasantly surprised. In this small Qingshui Town, there will be a peasant woman who can read and write.

Zhao Yunlan saw that her handwriting was really making a fool of herself, so she smiled embarrassedly.Old Master Liu also smiled and said, "It's good to practice more, your handwriting can still be seen with strength."

Zhao Yunlan smiled modestly, thinking to herself, if you give me a piece of chalk, I can write beautifully. At the beginning, I was able to write beautiful chalk characters for teaching, but I found a teacher to teach them and practiced for a long time.

Zhao Yunlan really wasn't used to this brush, so she didn't want to waste this good brush: "Master Liu, do you have charcoal, I really can't write this well, I'm afraid I will ruin this fine brush."

Old Master Liu was not bothered, so he ordered someone to go to the study to get charcoal pencils, which Old Master Liu usually used for drawing and playing.

Zhao Yunlan was surprised, it turned out that wealthy people can make that charcoal into pens!That's pretty cool.

Zhao Yunlan took the charcoal pen and started to write. Mrs. Liu was surprised, this word is well written!

Zhao Yunlan thought: This charcoal is really good charcoal!Not too sloppy to write.

Zhao Yunlan touched the charcoal pencil in her hand: "Master Liu, I will record the situation of this pepper every day when I come here, this..."

Old Master Liu smiled: "You can use this charcoal pen, and I will give you that pen too." Pointing to the brush, "It's time to practice your handwriting. It's not enough just to write well with charcoal pens."

Zhao Yunlan was happy: "Then thank Mrs. Liu."
