Zhou Defu was a little surprised: "Why are you asking that? That place has been deserted for a long time."

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "I see that the whole mountain is covered with apricot trees. Who planted them?"

Zhou Defu raised his head, as if recalling the past: "That place, that's where our villagers responded to the call and planted apricot trees in the ditch a few years ago. But the apricots were sour and astringent and inedible, so no one cared about it later."

Zhou Bin quickly asked, "Are apricots sweet or bitter?"

Zhou Defu smiled: "Why? You are greedy. If you want to eat apricots, go to my field and pick some for you. My apricots are big and sweet, absolutely delicious."

Zhou Bin smiled and shook his head: "I don't want to eat apricots, I'm asking if the apricot kernels can be eaten?"

Zhou Defu was a little surprised: "Apricot kernel? It seems to be a sweet kernel, edible."

Zhou Bin immediately became excited: "That's great, I want to take over that piece of land, is that okay?"

"What? You want to lease land again? The mountains there are high and the grass is dense, so you can't grow crops there." Zhou Defu said.

Zhou Bin handed him a cigarette and said with a smile, "I want those apricot kernels. They are good stuff."

Zhou Defu saw that Zhou Bin didn't seem to be joking, so he smiled and said, "Oh, I don't understand your thoughts. I don't know how I can rent that place to you."

Zhou Bin thought for a while and said, "It took a lot of effort to plant the trees there. I'll just pay 20 yuan a year for five years. What do you think?"

Zhou Defu thought about it and decided that the money was indeed not a small amount, and that place was unattended, so he just took it.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do as you say."

Seeing that he agreed, Zhou Bin happily signed a contract with Murakami and paid the five years' fee in one go. The matter was settled.

As soon as Zhou Bin got home, he told his father and Li Nan the news. Zhou Jianming was stunned after hearing it: "Binbin, why are you renting that place? You can't grow crops there, and the road is not easy to travel."

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, I mainly want the almonds there, don't worry about the others."

Li Nan asked curiously, "What do you want so many almonds for? We can't eat them all."

Zhou Bin explained, "Didn't Mr. Zhang say his son runs a beverage and food factory? I want to go find him and see if they want these almonds."

Zhou Jianming was still a little confused. Would anyone want those almonds? How many of them could they eat?

Zhou Bin looked at the two people with some doubts, and said with a smile: "You will know when the time comes. I will go to the county the day after tomorrow and try to find Uncle Zhang first."

Seeing that Zhou Bin was so sure, the two stopped asking.

In fact, the last time he went to the ditch to rescue Xiaohua, he saw a large apricot forest that was more than ten acres in size.

An idea suddenly popped into his mind that these apricot trees would definitely produce a lot of apricots.

As long as the almonds are not bitter almonds, you can process them into almond milk and sell them!

In his previous life, almond milk was very popular and sold at a high price.

No one is making this thing yet. If they develop this product first, there should be a market for it.

It's just that he has been busy with other things recently and forgot about this matter. Just now when he went to Aniu's house to eat apricots, he suddenly remembered it.

The next day, Zhou Bin got up early and asked Aniu to go to the ditch to look at the apricot forest. He picked some apricots, took out the almonds and put them in a plastic bag.

On the third day, he prepared his things and set off for the county.

He took a car and after two hours, he arrived at the county.

As soon as he got off the car, he rushed straight to Tianhai Hotel. As soon as he reached the door, he ran into Hou Tianhai who was about to go out.

As soon as Hou Tianhai saw him, he immediately came out to greet him warmly: "Brother Zhou, why are you here?"

Zhou Bin smiled and raised the crabs, river shrimps and some almonds in his hand, and said, "I came to see you and the old man."

Hou Tianhai said apologetically, "Oh, Brother Zhou, I just happened to have something important to do. Look at what's going on."

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "It's okay, just do your thing first. Is the old man here?"

Hou Tianhai apologized repeatedly: "I'm so sorry, my dad is here, then you go to the hotel to rest first, I'll ask someone to call my dad. I'll be back after I finish talking to you, don't leave in a hurry, I still want to treat you to a meal!"

Zhou Bin nodded and smiled: "Okay, you go ahead and do your work, I'll wait for you."

Hou Tianhai hurriedly ordered his men to invite Zhou Bin into the hotel, and then asked someone to invite his father.

Zhou Bin came to the VIP lounge, sat down and drank tea while waiting for the old man to arrive.

Half an hour later, the door of the VIP room opened and Hou Xuewen walked in with a happy face.

As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said, "Brother Zhou is here. I was delayed by something just now. I'm really sorry!"

Zhou Bin smiled and stood up and said, "Old man, are you feeling well lately?"

Hou Xuewen said happily: "I'm fine."

Zhou Bin took out the things he brought for him: "Uncle, these are the crabs and river shrimps I just caught. Let me give you a taste."

Hou Xuewen happily took the things and thanked him repeatedly.

Zhou Bin took out the bag of almonds and said, "Uncle, these are the almonds I just peeled. You can try them."

Hou Xuewen became very interested after hearing this and picked up an almond and started eating it.

The fresh almonds were crispy, fragrant, and slightly sweet, which made Hou Xuewen like them very much. He couldn't help but eat a few more.

Zhou Bin took the opportunity to say, "Uncle, this almond is a good thing. It is good for the cardiovascular system of the elderly, can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, and can also beautify the skin."
