Chapter 396 Chrysanthemum



The crow cawed, raised its little head, and proudly reported its recent victory.

Master, master, you have no idea how miserable that little bastard is. It makes me laugh to death.

Only then did Xu Qingzhi realize that the crow had led its new friends, the egrets, to teach Shen Yunfei a lesson.

Although those birds are not spiritual pets, the birds outside are also very smart and should not be underestimated.

It is inevitable that a child who grew up in the countryside will be naughty at times.

Climbing trees to take eggs and shooting birds with slingshots are all naughty things that people will inevitably do.

Just pick up a solid tree branch, go to the village auto repair shop to buy a rubber band, pick up a tire skin and cut it, and you can make a slingshot.

The first time Xiao Qingzhi used a slingshot to shoot birds, he hit a crow that had landed on the roof of a tiled house. He and his friends excitedly ran over to pick it up, but there was nothing on the ground.

Not long after, a group of birds flew over from the horizon, flapping their wings. A large group of birds screamed at the children, which was very scary.

From then on, Xiao Qingzhi threw away his slingshot and never dared to offend birds again.

Crows have a strong sense of revenge. Xiao Qingzhi had been attacked on the body or head by bird droppings from the sky for several days in a row.

It took a while for her life to return to normal.

It was not until many years later that it became popular to buy bags of Youlemei milk tea powder to make milk tea.

Xu Qingzhi and his brother were sitting on the cement laundry table in the yard, basking in the sun, having just made a cup of milk tea, with some spicy stinky dried tofu next to them, ready to enjoy a good meal.

As a result, a drop of bird droppings fell precisely into her milk tea cup.

She looked up and saw a black crow flying by.

From then on, she accumulated good deeds and did several good things. She angrily rebuked the boy who stole bird eggs at the door of her house, and avenged the swallow's nest that was occupied by a bat by poking the nest so that the bat had no place to sleep...

Later on, I wasn’t so unlucky anymore.

At this moment, the crow was still cackling on the tree.

This crow has already asked the crows within a ten-mile radius to spread the message. Anyone who meets that person will not have an easy time with him.

Xu Qingzhi could almost imagine what kind of life Shen Yunfei would live in the future.

It should be much worse than what she experienced back then.

In order to reward it, Xu Qingzhi promised to give the crow two extra chicken legs as a midnight snack, compared to the big cat.

The voice call between her and Huo Fengyan was not turned off.

Even if two people are not chatting, sometimes they will turn on the voice chat.

After hearing what Crow said, Huo Fengyan's voice slowly came from the other end of the phone.

"Someone is causing trouble for you?"

Xu Qingzhi: "It's not really a problem."

There was silence on the other end of the call for a long while, and then Huo Fengyan's slightly lowered voice came, "Zhizhi, I'm your boyfriend."

Xu Qingzhi was puzzled for a moment, "I know."

Huo Fengyan pointed out: "So if you get into trouble, you can also come to me and I will help you."

Xu Qingzhi understood what he meant and said, "He was the person in charge of Shenjiayuan Restaurant in Kyoto. He wanted to discuss cooperation with me, but I refused. He got a little angry. He didn't get anything good from me. Don't worry, I can handle these things myself."

As soon as the words fell.

The two strange old men appeared again.

It looked like he had just walked around, but he didn't look tired at all, and even looked more energetic than before.

If young people today were to go through this, they would be gasping for breath and feeling tired.

In order to get a free meal tonight, Mr. Huo made small talk: "Little girl, I see there are beehives in the back hill of your house. You must be raising bees."

After all, he had seen how delicious the Xu family’s food was in variety shows before.

Xu Qingzhi was about to speak when Huo Fengyan's voice came from the phone.

"grandfather?"

Xu Qingzhi was stunned.

Then, after some communication, she realized that the two old men in front of her were none other than Mr. Huo and Dong Ming, the president of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Qingzhi never thought that he would meet the old man of the Huo family on such an ordinary afternoon.

On the other end of the voice call, Huo Fengyan was also helpless.

In fact, before the two old men set off, he specially arranged for them to live outside the village some distance away from the Xu family, and also made three rules with Mr. Huo, asking him not to disturb the Xu family's life.

But... don't expect the elderly to be obedient.

Especially, Mr. Huo, who is stubborn by nature.

He used some tricks to trick Dong Ming into coming with him, so he would never let go of the opportunity to take advantage of the Xu family.

Xu Qingzhi asked them to sit down, went into the house, made two cups of hot chrysanthemum tea and brought them over, and just like chatting with them, he asked them where they were staying that night and invited them to have dinner at home.

Mr. Huo naturally agreed readily.

Dong Ming was injured when he attended a summit abroad when he was young. Now that he is old and has some old age diseases, his bones and wounds ache on rainy days, and sometimes even applying pain-relieving plasters is of no help.

There was a lot of rain in Kyoto a while ago, and the pain was even more unbearable for him.

That day he tasted the dishes from Fuwang Farm sent by Brother Huo. He called Brother Huo originally to express his gratitude, but Brother Huo's words about the "health-preserving" effect stunned him.

At that time, the dull pain in the wound didn't seem as torturous as it had been a few days ago.

For some unknown reason, he agreed to take a trip here, wanting to see if this place was really so magical.

He held the teacup, blew on it, and took a sip of the hot chrysanthemum tea. Immediately, a faint chrysanthemum fragrance diffused in his mouth. Then, this comfortable chrysanthemum fragrance exploded between his breaths, and a warm current flowed into his chest.

He is the president of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. He has tasted all the delicious food, not to mention from China, even from abroad.

You can tell with just one bite that the quality of this chrysanthemum is absolutely top-notch.

He slowly asked, "Little girl, are these chrysanthemums... also grown on your farm?"

Xu Qingzhi said politely: "Chairman Dong, you can just call me Qingzhi. These chrysanthemums are not planted. I just randomly scattered flower seeds on the back mountain and picked them and dried them."

In fact, it was chrysanthemums from the spiritual space, but she had scattered a lot of flower seeds in the back mountain before, and sometimes she would pick some, dry them and keep them at home to drink.

Not only chrysanthemums, but also small rose bags and so on.

But she loves chrysanthemums more.

Rose flowers also smell very fragrant when brewed, but their taste is not as good as the fresh and sweet fragrance of chrysanthemums.

Dong Ming only noticed the word "whatever" in her words.

Such good things can be grown so easily. I don’t know if it’s because the girl is modest or if the environment here is really good.

You should know that many Chinese herbal medicines are not very effective nowadays because of the bad environment.

The people are determined by the landscape and the same goes for plants.

Dong Ming calmed down and asked, "Qingzhi, do you have any more chrysanthemums? I want to buy some and take them as gifts when I go to attend a summit abroad at the end of the year."

Mr. Huo, who was standing by, had a sly smile in his eyes and drank water from the cup without saying a word.

Xu Qingzhi had a lot of dried chrysanthemums stored in the warehouse, and he couldn't finish drinking them. In addition, someone had helped him out before, so he had no reason to refuse. He asked, "How many cans do you want?"

"Five hundred cans, is that convenient?" Dong Ming had made up his mind to take Juhua abroad to show off and slap the faces of those foreigners who always said that the domestic environment was bad, with too many chemical fertilizers and hormones, and that the products grown in China were not as good as those grown on those large farms.

Xu Qingzhi took a breath. He didn't expect the other party to ask for so much. After thinking for a while, he said, "One hundred cans, okay?"

"Okay, then how do you calculate the price?" Chairman Dong asked, and immediately added, "I learned about your farm before I came here, so don't worry about the price. I don't need the money."

Xu Qingzhi had trouble deciding on a price, so to save trouble, he simply said, "Then let's just charge 200 per can."

The number two hundred is easy to remember.

When Chairman Dong heard this, he felt warm at heart, knowing that the little girl was giving him face by selling it at such a low price.

"Okay, let's add each other on WeChat. I'm not in a hurry to get these chrysanthemums, just send them to me before the end of December, and I'll transfer the payment to you in advance."

Xu Qingzhi was not a shy person, so he added the other party on WeChat immediately and accepted the 20,000 yuan payment and address transferred by the other party, saying that he would send it to him when he was free.

At that moment, no one had expected that just a small jar of chrysanthemums would bring such a huge butterfly effect a few months later.
