After traveling through time, the restaurant I opened became a big hit

Chapter 16 Orchard
Jiang Li, who obtained the land for planting, could not hide his excitement.

She asked the system to place the planting land in the planting space first and then check it when she was free.

In the afternoon, at the recommendation of the old lady, Jiang Li took his brother to the orchard.

The orchard was opened in the village and was jointly run by the villagers.

There are a wide variety of fruits inside, most of which are seasonal fruits, and some are from greenhouses.

It was just a little far from the B&B, so the old lady specially asked her grandson to drive them there.

As soon as Zhou Yuan woke up, he received a call from his grandmother, asking him to take two tourists to the village orchard.

After receiving the call, Zhou Yuan didn't waste any time. He put on his clothes, packed up briefly and went downstairs.

Zhou Yuan walked to Grandma Zhou with his coat in one hand and his keys in the other.

"Grandma, I'm here."

Seeing a plate of osmanthus cake on the table next to the old lady, he naturally picked up and ate a piece.

"Grandma, are you making osmanthus cake again? I was wondering why I could smell a fragrance when I was sleeping. It's getting better and better, grandma!"

Seeing Zhou Yuan acting so careless and frivolous, Grandma Zhou angrily slapped him several times.

"This was made by Miss Jiang, and you ate it without even asking. Do you have any manners?"

"Grandma, it hurts!"

Zhou Yuan rubbed his back which was hurt by the slap, and then he noticed Jiang Li and Jiang Xu sitting next to him.

He scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled innocently, "I'm sorry, I'm Zhou Yuan, the owner of this B&B. If you have any questions, just come to me."

Jiang Li also introduced himself, followed by Jiang Xu.

Zhou Yuan greeted the two of them one by one, then gave Jiang Li a thumbs up.

"Jiang Li, this is really the osmanthus cake you made. It tastes better than the one my grandma made!"

Jiang Li smiled, appearing to be very calm on the surface, but the villain in her heart was dancing.

"Okay, stop making trouble. It's getting late. Take them there quickly and come back early for dinner."

Grandma Zhou couldn't help but hit her grandson again. She really couldn't bear the naughty look on her grandson's face.

"Okay, grandma!" Zhou Yuan answered loudly in Grandma Zhou's ear, scaring her.

Grandma Zhou was so angry that she wanted to hit him again. Jiang Li helped her from the side. The agile Zhou Yuan had already run out of the yard and turned back to make faces at Grandma Zhou.

"This child." Grandma Zhou couldn't help laughing and turned around to tell Jiang Li and his sister to catch up quickly.

Zhou Yuan had been chatting with Jiang Xu all the way. He was five years older than Jiang Xu and they had a lot of common topics.

During the journey, the two of them discussed the itinerary for the next few days.

Jiang Li listened in the back seat and watched the scenery passing by quickly outside the window.

There is also a breeze blowing in from the window, which makes people feel happy.

When they arrived at the orchard, Zhou Yuan led the way and led Jiang Li and Jiang Xu inside.

After entering the gate, there are several pomegranate trees planted next to it.

You can clearly see that the tree is full of red pomegranates, which look very beautiful when paired with the green leaves.

There was a small white house next to the gate, and the man sitting at the door saw Zhou Yuan.

He greeted him with a smile, "Brother Yuan, how come you have time to come here?"

Zhou Yuan walked over and bumped fists with Shang Yiping, "Bring guests over to play."

Then he turned around and introduced, "This is the orchard's representative director Shang Yiping, and these are the new tenants Jiang Li and Jiang Xu."

A few people smiled politely.

Shang Yiping then walked into the small house, took out two bamboo baskets, and handed them to Jiang Li and Jiang Xu. "You can try any fruit you like, and come here to weigh it when you've chosen."

The persimmons bent the branches and hung down heavily. Jiang Li only needed to raise his hand slightly to reach them.

Jiang Li picked one first, peeled off the persimmon skin and took a bite.

Although modern planting techniques are convenient, they have also caused many fruits and vegetables to lose their original taste.

But this persimmon tastes very sweet, juicy, with thin skin and thick flesh.

The persimmons were so delicious that Jiang Li picked a few more.

There are many fruit trees growing around the road, and the apples and pears on the trees are very lovely.

Jiang Lige picked a few and put them in the bamboo basket on his back.

Continuing to walk deeper into the orchard, not far away there were a few bunches of purple grapes hanging under the vines, ready for anyone to pick.

But Jiang Li thought that grapes would be a little sour, and she just happened to hate sour fruits the most.

But these strings in front of me look big and sweet, so I guess they must taste good.

He picked a pure purple grape and put it in his mouth. It tasted just as Jiang Li had thought.

Those half-red and half-purple grapes are just right, sour and sweet, and very delicious.

Jiang Li’s favorite is ripe purple grapes. She also picked a lot of half-red and half-purple ones, as well as the mulberries next to them, which she plans to take home to make wine.

Carrying a full bamboo basket, Jiang Li returned to the door of the small house next to the orchard entrance.

Jiang Xu had returned there a long time ago. The bamboo basket next to him was not even full. He sat there chatting with Zhou Yuan and Shang Yiping.

Seeing how excited they were chatting, Jiang Li felt embarrassed to go over and disturb them.

It was when Jiang Xu turned around that he saw his sister standing there alone, eating a pomegranate in small bites.

"Sister, come here quickly."

Jiang Li walked over, and Shang Yiping took out another stool from the house and gave it to her. Jiang Li thanked him softly.

"What are you talking about? So happy."

"Sister, you don't know that Brother Zhou Yuan is also from University A. After graduation, he returned to the village to support his hometown."

"He even gave up a high-paying job. That's amazing!"

Jiang Xu became more and more excited as he spoke, and he couldn't hide his admiration in his eyes.

This made Zhou Yuan feel embarrassed and he quickly waved his hands.

"Brother Jiang Xu also gave us a lot of suggestions, which benefited us a lot."

Hearing that the two people were about to flatter each other, Shang Yiping quickly interrupted them.

"Come and weigh the fruit. After you're done, go back quickly. Granny Zhou will be worried soon."

The fruits in the picking garden are indeed much more expensive than those outside, but once you have tasted them, you will know that the naturally grown sweet fruits are worth the price.

The two baskets of fruit weighed more than 30 kilograms in total. After Jiang Li paid the money, Shang Yiping sorted and packed the fruits.

After putting the fruit in Zhou Yuan's trunk and saying goodbye to Shang Yiping, Zhou Yuan drove Jiang Li and Jiang Xu back to the B&B.

On the way back, the sun was about to set and the villagers returning from work saw Zhou Yuan's car.

The relationship between neighbors here is very good, and the villagers will greet Zhou Yuan when they see him.

As a result, the way back is longer than the way here.

Jiang Xu sat obediently in the passenger seat and exclaimed, "Brother Yuan, you are so popular!"

Zhou Yuan was not modest either, and sighed softly, "Who makes me the most popular man in the village?"
