Chapter 70 70 Green Peppercorn
Chapter 70 70. Green pepper
Zhang Yanping never expected that despite his lovable appearance, he would not go through three rounds in the hands of the market aunt!
Here's the thing -
Didn't he take Qiao Qiao's place and help Song Tan sell vegetables?
Logically speaking, this is not difficult. Here he packed the dishes quickly and quoted the price:
"sixty."
The aunt's face here is tense:
"Girl, where did you find the helper? No! Look at him, he's not happy at all."
Zhang Yanping touched his face in disbelief.
He is tall, fair, and fat, and all the middle-aged aunts like him! There's no reason to fail here, right?
So the next red-haired aunt came, and he deliberately forced out a loving smile.
The red-haired aunt bought a lot this time. It is said that she has developed a new pickle recipe. She makes some every day and saves different flavors to give to her children from other places. It is very popular.
However, this time, when Zhang Yanping stuffed all the purple milkvetch into the bag with a smile, he saw the red-haired aunt saying critically:
"Oh, young man, your smile is not as good-looking as that of Qiao Qiao, so don't force yourself!"
Zhang Yanping couldn't hold back the smile on his face.
The most fatal thing is that the remaining aunt speaks even more meanly——
"This young man must be thirty, right? He's like Xiao Qiaoqiao, he's really an old cucumber painted green..."
Zhang Yanping was furious!
He is only twenty-six this year!
Twenty-six!
He's only eight years older than Qiao Qiao, and he's still young. Why is it that he's just an old cucumber with green paint?
But that aunt had already gone away, and the new aunt lined up to come forward again, so he had no choice but to continue to be a numb tool.
When the vegetables were almost sold out, an uncle came over in a hurry:
"Girl, where is my tea?"
As he spoke, he looked left and right like a thief.
Zhang Yanping knew that this was the die-hard fan who only bought one or two!
When he turned around and saw Zhang Yanping, he also looked surprised.
Zhang Yanping: ...as for that?
Seeing that the customer looked nervous, he asked, "What are you doing?"
The other party whispered: "I bought it secretly. The tea is too expensive. Aren't I afraid that my family will see it?"
He took the tea leaves, opened the sealed bag, and dug out the small bag wrapped in white paper, his expression wrinkled.
Then he opened a corner of the white paper, lowered his head and took a deep breath——
With just such a movement, the smile spread across his face. At this moment, his face was full of impatience:
"Smells! It smells so good!"
So he hurriedly put the things back into the bag and ran back again without stopping.
The vegetable vendor next door squeezed over and looked at Song Tan curiously:
"What are you selling? It's so mysterious."
He didn't say anything, but his actions and demeanor were like selling something secretly underground, which was very criminal.
When Song Tan saw him, she quickly packed the five kilograms of milkvetch that the other party wanted yesterday:
"I just picked it this morning. It's still fresh."
The vegetable vendor looked left and right, then with a lightning movement he took the bag of vegetables and carefully hid it behind his stall.
This kind of sneaky transaction is no different from the uncle who just bought tea.
Only then did Song Tan answer his question:
"The tea leaves roasted at home are more expensive, so everyone is cautious."
The vegetable seller couldn't help but get ready to make another move:
"Your tea..."
However, today Song Tan didn't have time to wait for him to worry. Instead, he packed up the basket and said, "Brother Yan Ping, let's go."
…
What they went to this time was the Flower City, a two and a half hour drive.
There is no need to go into the city, their destination is Xinxin Garden in the suburbs.
I don’t know where Zhang Yanping knew these many people. Song Tan couldn’t find all the things in Taotaobao, but this Xinxin Flower Garden really brought them out in one go - a total of two hundred golden cherry trees!
Now at the beginning of spring, these golden cherry trees were deeply pruned last winter, and now they look bare, which is not good-looking.
But as long as you look carefully, you will know that the root system is well developed and the vitality is strong. It is indeed a large seedling in its prime.
Song Tan pointed at a few of them with obviously weaker root systems, but saw the boss touching his head and smiling coquettishly:
"Girl, your eyes are quite good... But what, the thorns of this primitive species are really hard to deal with, and no one has bought it even after several years of cultivation."
"You want it all of a sudden, but I can't get enough 200 trees here, so I just pulled a few from the flower pot, just a little bit weaker. I originally planned to do rose grafting and cultivation..."
As the boss spoke, his face showed reluctance:
"But you won't suffer either."
He quickly dug out a particularly strong and huge one from the pile of pruned golden cherry trees:
"This tree is the mother parent of these seedlings. It is very strong. In the past, I wouldn't have sold it for fifty yuan!"
Since the boss said that this tree is the female parent, it proves that all the golden cherry blossoms today are propagated from its cuttings. Generally speaking, the female parent will be more majestic.
This wave is not a loss.
Song Tan was also very satisfied.
The few plants she picked out just had weak root systems, which didn't mean they wouldn't grow well, but this female plant was an unexpected bonus.
Thick and strong, with well-developed root system. This one tree alone can take care of a space of six to seven square meters.
Both parties were delighted.
But even if he came to pick up the goods in person, the boss would not reduce the payment of 3,000 yuan.
However, Zhang Yanping dragged Song Tan around in the flower garden as if it was his own garden.
But there are mostly ornamental flowers here, many of which are specially cultivated horticultural varieties, which cannot play a huge economic value in rural areas.
Song Tan looked again and again, and finally only stared at a small tree that had just sprouted in the corner:
"What is this?"
The boss was stunned, and thought for a while before remembering: "It's green pepper."
Pepper?
Song Tan's heart moved: "Boss, I won't bargain with you for anything else, just give me this pepper tree."
The boss was stunned: "But this is what I planted for my own consumption, and I haven't taken care of it much..."
"It's okay!" Song Tan said confidently: "I think your green pepper is pretty good, we don't grow much in Yuncheng."
The boss silently calculated the account: I can help you, but I don't accept bargaining anyway. Besides, this thing is not expensive. Thinking about the batch of golden cherries that almost smashed his hand, he finally agreed.
Zhang Yanping didn't understand why Song Tan wanted to grow a pepper tree? This thing is a seasoning. How much can you eat at home? Just buy some, why plant one separately?
And Song Tan has turned his head:
"Brother Yanping, I remember that grass carp is more suitable for making pepper and pickled fish pot, right?"
Sour fish with green and red pepper... slurp!!!
Having said that, Zhang Yanping is also a little hungry.
Tan Tan's purpose: What I can eat and what I want to eat must be planted by myself to taste good.
Money is secondary.
And. But it is estimated that it will be afternoon or evening.
