Chapter 186 Yellow Croaker
However, Liang Wei did not take it for nothing. Before leaving, he insisted on putting down a gift box.
"This is a little gift from the old general. He said that he never took a penny from the public in his life, so there is no reason for him to take your fruit for free. Besides, your fruit is far from being something that money can buy. Besides, a gift from an elder is something that cannot be refused. Please accept this little gift."
The box packaging looks very exquisite, and you can't tell what's inside from the outside.
Huang Xinran hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted it. "You are so polite, old man. In that case, I will accept it."
"Okay, then I can report back to the mission!"
Liang Wei chuckled. Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice again, "Ran Ran, your special fruit... Have you ever thought about selling it for money? I think as long as you promote it a little, there will be a lot of people begging you to buy it. Why do you have to work so hard every day to make money?"
Promotion?
Are you dissatisfied that she didn't die quickly enough and are setting a trap for her?
Huang Xinran couldn't help but shudder. She still understood the principle that "an innocent man is guilty of possessing a jade."
Unfortunately, she didn't realize at first that fruits and vegetables stimulated by spiritual power can actually prolong life and improve health. Otherwise, she would never reveal this secret for that little money...
It's too late to say anything now!
She glanced at Liang Wei and said, "Let's talk about it later... Oh, by the way! Last time you told me that you could lend me 600 yuan, is that true?"
"Are you short of money?"
Liang Wei was very surprised. Huang Xinran was busy every day and her business seemed to be very good, so how could she be short of money?
But soon, he took out a wad of money from his pocket and placed it in front of her: "This 1,000 yuan is for buying the fruit. Is it enough? If not, I will go to the bank and withdraw some more for you."
"That's enough."
Huang Xinran took the money and counted it. It was indeed 1,000 yuan. "I said it was borrowed, so it is borrowed. If you continue to make trouble, I won't give you fruit next time."
“No, no, no…”
Liang Wei waved his hands and begged for mercy, "Big sister, please forgive me! To be honest, my Liang family doesn't need this little money. What we need is good things that can cure diseases and save lives! But if you really feel bad about taking this money, just give me some more fruit. As long as it's fruit, anything is better than this little money!~"
Got it!
His master doesn't lack the money for a few days!
Huang Xinran sighed, comparing yourself to others will only make you angry!
"Okay, I'll take the money. I'll prepare some fruits for you, come and get them tomorrow!" She had already used up all her spiritual power, and if Liang Wei still wanted fruits, he would have to wait until tomorrow.
"no problem!"
Liang Wei patted his chest and it made a "bang bang" sound:
"I'll be there tomorrow morning!"
He happily left with the fruit, and Huang Xinran finally had time to open the box. What caught his eye was a red velvet cloth, and when he lifted it, he saw neatly arranged strips of gold foil wrapped inside.
Open again...
Huang Xinran took a breath of cool air. It was a big yellow croaker!
A box full of large yellow croakers! She counted them and found there were ten in total. It was so dazzling that she felt dizzy.
She seemed to remember someone saying that this kind of big yellow croaker was a treasure that the wealthy families used to keep at the bottom of their boxes, and it was the treasure of the town. It was the most reliable foundation for a large family.
Once you take it out, it’s hard to say how much it’s worth, but it’s definitely very valuable.
The old man who had gone through life and death with her gave her such a gift, which really showed that he thought highly of her.
As a result, Huang Xinran felt that the fruits he had just given away were of too little value.
After thinking about it, she decided to go ahead and not care about the fact that it was getting dark. She took her basket and went to her own vegetable plot, found a place to sit down, and started practicing the Qing Emperor Heart Sutra. After two cycles, the red amaranth and spinach seedlings around her grew rapidly.
With her as the center, the area within a radius of two or three meters was full of tender and large seedlings. The further out, the smaller the seedlings became. It looked like the difference was nearly ten times.
Fortunately, it’s late now and there are not many people in the vegetable garden, otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to explain it to others!
Huang Xinran picked up the basket and pulled them all out. The basket he brought was too small to hold them all, so he had to break off a vine to tie them up before taking them home.
That night, Yaya and Maomao both had delicious vegetables.
The next day, when Liang Wei came to get the fruit, he also received two bags of vegetables given by Huang Xinran.
"Two bags of vegetables, one for your grandfather and one for yesterday's grandfather, Gu. You can take them over as well."
"Today is so nice, there are extra gifts?"
Liang Wei was stunned. He looked at the dishes and then at Huang Xinran: "So, where's my portion?"
"You can't miss it! Here, take it!"
Huang Xinran passed over a small portion, which was probably enough for one or two meals. She also thought about reminding Liang Wei not to tell anyone, but that was how people were. The more you told him not to tell others, the faster it would spread. So, she finally gave up the idea.
It is better to unblock than to block.
As long as she tied Liang Wei to her warship, she didn't believe that he could sink the ship.
The money is enough to buy a house.
Huang Xinran thought about it and went to look for the aunt whose son was getting married that day.
When the other party saw her, he was no longer as enthusiastic as last time. Huang Xinran chatted with her for a while and pried open her mouth with two handfuls of peanuts.
"It's because my future daughter-in-law is thinking about not getting married for the time being. My child originally sold this old house for the purpose of getting married. We have lived in this house for so many years and have developed feelings for it. If they don't get married, we two old people will still live here, so there is naturally no need to sell it..."
"Old man, you are wrong if you think so."
Huang Xinran pulled her aside to analyze: "Think about it! Why did your future daughter-in-law say she wanted to get married before, but now she says she's not in a hurry to get married? In the final analysis, isn't it because she thinks the gift is not enough? If you had done it in one go, maybe your son's marriage would have been done. If you really believed her, the next time she asked for marriage, your family would have to double the gift. How can there be a daughter-in-law whose value is getting lower and lower, old man, don't you think so?"
“Yeah, that’s right…”
The old lady's eyes rolled, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what she said was right. She slapped her thigh and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask my son!"
"Okay, Auntie, I'll wait for your good news!"
Huang Xinran waited until after noon and all afternoon. It was getting late, and the old lady didn't come back. His heart sank. Could it be that the other party really didn't plan to sell the house?
Helpless, she just patted her butt and left.
As soon as I walked out of the alley, I ran into the old lady and her son walking towards me.
Seeing Huang Xinran walking out, the old lady called her with a happy face, "Sister, what is the highest price you can give for this house? My son said that the price we agreed to last time was too low, and you have to increase it a little bit."
Last time, the other party asked for a minimum of 2,200 yuan, but I only offered 1,800 yuan. Now I think 2,200 yuan is too little and I want to increase it?
It seems that this business will not succeed.
