Chapter 21 Time Flies, Blossoms and Bear Fruit



By the end of May, more than four months had passed since Tang Mo left.

These days, Mu Chen has been busy every day except for contacting Su Qian by phone.

During this time, Tang Mo also called Mu Chen countless times, and their relationship gradually warmed up.

Meanwhile, Mu Chen's new home has been completed during this period.

The magnificent stilted building stands at the highest point of the mountain.

The craftsmen are the most skilled artisans in Heiwu Village and Quedong Village, and they use mortise and tenon joints to connect the pieces.

With thousands of mortises in the pillars, beams, and tie beams, the carpenters, relying solely on ink lines, axes, chisels, saws, and various well-thought-out plans, were able to connect the pillars, join the tie beams, and interlock the purlins, allowing a three-story wooden building to stand majestically on the steep slope of the mountaintop.

This construction method is not only simple, sturdy, and moisture-proof, but it also saves arable land and building materials.

Mu Chen liked it very much.

After receiving her brother's permission, Duoduo happily ran into the house to start tidying up her new home.

Many women from both villages came to help.

The matter of Mu Chen needing to find a wife to manage everything at home was brought up again.

Although Duoduo is a capable little worker, she is a girl and will have to get married sooner or later.

At this moment, Mu Chen, who was busy in the orchard, looked at the mangoes and dragon fruits that had begun to wither and were now bearing fruit, and his mouth was splitting into a wide smile.

"Ah Chen, this is amazing! It actually worked!" When Chief Tang laughed, there were a few more wrinkles on his face than usual.

Mu Chen looked around and said, "Two chieftains, our orchard has begun to bear fruit. From now until the harvest, we cannot afford any more mistakes, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Ah Chen, what do you suggest?"

"First, apart from people from our two villages, no one else is allowed to approach the orchard."

"Second, we must patrol the perimeter of the orchard continuously, and prevent any wild birds such as pheasants or rabbits from sneaking in."

"third,……"

Mu Chen listed several things that must be done and cannot go wrong in one breath, and then added at the end:

"Judging from this situation, I estimate that they will gradually ripen in another twenty days, and I need to find a way to sell them."

“Alright, the two of us village chiefs will take turns guarding it. We’ll sleep on the mountaintop for the time being. There’s a warehouse next to your newly built greenhouse, and there are a few beds inside.”

Now, whether it's Quedong Village or Heiwu Village, people like to sleep in the orchards.

The air here seems to purify the bodies of the Miao people.

Mu Chen repeatedly reminded them, "Two chieftains, remember, you are not allowed to smoke in the orchard."

"I understand, I understand, I promise I won't."

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

A small portion of the mangoes in the orchard are beginning to ripen, and the harvest time is drawing ever closer.

Back in his penthouse, Mu Chen looked down at the graceful mango trees in the orchard, their fruit a vibrant golden yellow, and smiled.

After a moment's thought, I found the phone number of the wealthy man I had met in Lincheng last year.

He was worried that people might be busy, so he sent messages one by one first, planning to call them in half an hour.

However---

Just a few minutes after the message was sent, He Yuanshan's number came in first.

"Young man from the Miao family, is what you said in your message true?"

As soon as the call connected, He Yuanshan asked impatiently, his voice trembling slightly.

“It’s true! But there are some things that are inconvenient to say over the phone. I can only tell you, Mr. He, that there are ten of each of the four types of silver dollars I mentioned in my message.”

"I thought you were a regular customer of mine, so I contacted you first."

"If you don't want it, I'll give it to someone else."

"Please don't—"

He Yuanshan panicked. "Brother Miao, I'll finish what I'm doing right away and book a flight to Guizhou Province to find you. You must leave this with me. As long as my appraisal is fine, we can discuss the money."

"Mr. He, rest assured, since you've said so, I'll naturally reserve it for you. However, I'm not in Lincheng, but in eastern Guizhou. If you come, you'll probably need to find someone you know to show you the way."

"Boss Ye Tianjing is in Lincheng. I, He, will bring him along. We'll contact each other again later."

"good!"

They chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.

Mu Chen's smile was quite sly this time.

His real purpose was not the silver dollars, but to bring these wealthy people to the Miao village, mainly to solve the problem of fruit.

He Yuanshan was able to summon Ye Tianjing, which was exactly the result Mu Chen wanted.

But Mu Chen still called Ye Tianjing at the appointed time.

Although the old man didn't believe that the fruit seedlings Mu Chen bought from him would bear fruit, he still agreed to come and take a look.

She must have received a call from He Yuanshan and came to be a supporting character.

I wonder what Ye Tianjing will think when he sees the actual scene here.

Just as Mu Chen got up and hung up the phone, a call came in from the owner of the herbal medicine shop, surnamed Wang.

"Brother Miao, where are you now? I'm coming to find you."

This Wang Zhao is very direct in his speech.

“I’m still in the mountains right now. I just found something good and thought of you, Mr. Wang! What I have in my hand now is even better than what I gave you last time.”

"Hahaha..."

Wang Zhao laughed heartily and said, "Alright, contact me as soon as you come down from the mountain, and I'll come find you right away."

"good."

After finishing the phone call, Mu Chen continued to make silver jewelry for Duo Duo in the attic.

During this period, whenever he had a spare moment, he would make silver jewelry for his sister at this spot.

The silver ornaments worn by Miao girls are all part of their dowry.

Mu Chen only has one younger sister, and he needs to prepare everything in his spare time.
