Chapter 148 Selling Flowers

When he returned home at night, Xinbao felt sore all over.

It didn't hurt, but she just felt weak. When her parents came back in the evening, she stayed in her father's arms like a piece of mud, letting her mother feed her mouthful by mouthful.

After dinner, Mrs. Lin gave her a massage, but she fell asleep after just a few massages.

But even though Xinbao was acting coquettishly, he didn't let his work get in the way.

For the first three days, she walked for ten minutes, rested for ten minutes, and then walked for ten minutes again...

But gradually, the time became longer and longer, from ten minutes, to fifteen minutes, and then to twenty minutes...

After nearly ten days, when she felt her arms and legs had become more flexible, Yan Shenjue began to teach her the breathing method.

Coordinate with the steps, either deep or shallow, or inhale or exhale.

I originally thought it would be difficult for her to learn this, but unexpectedly, she got it right after just one try.

This is also an instinct.

When doing two things at the same time, if one of the things is mechanical work, the academic master will get used to it, "forget" this thing, turn it into physical memory, and then learn new skills.

When this new skill is also a regular exercise, it is easier to learn.

Moreover, after learning the breathing technique, the time he could walk was significantly extended. After half a month, Xinbao successfully achieved the ability to walk for quarter of an hour at a time.

This is a later story.

Within three days, the greenhouse was completed.

Then Yan Shenjue carried Xinbao to inspect the results.

Tang Qingshan was also very courageous. He built four greenhouses at once, and then Brother Yuan followed suit and built six, a total of ten greenhouses.

The Yuan family didn't plan to sell it. They just wanted to eat it themselves, so they discussed growing different vegetables with their family so that they would have everything and it would be convenient to eat.

Tang Qingshan and Brother Yuan are both the kind of people who think ten steps ahead before taking one step. Although it is their first time to build a house, they have considered every aspect very carefully.

For example, the connection between the wall and the bamboo frame, how to open it, how to remove the straw mat, how to ventilate when there is wind, how to clean it when there is snow... I really thought of everything. Xinbao looked around but couldn't find any problems.

However, you won’t be able to plant anything right after you cover it up, so let the wall air out first, and then start in winter. When the plants grow, it will be the twelfth month, which is just right.

I heard that some people in the village really did harvest the crops, cleared some land, and built a shed for this. After all, this thing requires a lot of investment, as you can see the oilcloth costs money, but the bricks, stones, bamboo, straw and other things are all ready-made, so it only requires labor, so it is not too expensive.

But there are also people who are pessimistic. They stroll around the village every day and laugh at those people for being stupid and having too much money to burn.

Tang Qingshan ignored all of these. Whenever someone came to him for advice or was unsure about something, he would refuse them outright. Some people went to ask Brother Yuan, but Brother Yuan of course would not answer them.

Then everyone continued to build the house in full swing.

But now, those in the village who have planted cotton should harvest the cotton. After harvesting the cotton, they have to harvest the beans, which will take at least half a month.

As there were fewer people in the village, we immediately hired helpers to take over. They were all skilled workers and did not delay the progress at all.

Among the land bought by the Tang family, there are more than ten acres of cotton and several acres of beans. Tang Qingshan and Mrs. Lin are not the kind of people who are stingy with money, so they said in advance that they would hire people this year, and then their family members would take care of it. There are many people in the village with little land.

The whole family was extremely busy. Even the fourth brother was busy weaving straw mats every day, and the twins took on the responsibility of delivering meals to the fields.

Fortunately, you can just get the food from where you build the house, and you don’t have to cook it at home.

So the only ones who were idle were my second brother and Xinbao.

But the second elder brother has long been accustomed to being a lazy person. Although he is in much better health now, he knows very well that his talent is not in farming, so he keeps a calm mind.

Tuanzi does not.

She felt that her eldest brother and third brother were still babies and both needed her care.

So she was very active in learning kung fu and reading, and tried to finish class early every day so that she could go to the fields to visit her brother and contribute to the best of her ability.

Only I got up late in the morning as usual.

While reading a book, the second brother asked Yan Shenjue: "Xinbao wakes up late, is this normal?"

Yan Shenjue put his eyes on the book and said, "It's normal for her. Judging from the current situation, it will take at least two months for her to gradually sleep less. This is a natural thing. When her body is better, she will naturally sleep less. There is no need to deliberately change it."

The second brother nodded.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Xiao Jue, I'm thinking of something."

Yan Shenjue didn't look up, waiting for him to speak, but he didn't open his mouth for a long time.

Yan Shenjue thought what he said was related to Xinbao, so he looked up at him. The second brother looked at him for a while, then pointed to the courtyard and said, "Didn't you see it?"

Yan Shenjue looked over and was slightly stunned.

The green peonies that he and Xinbao planted have bloomed.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Or in other words, it's about to bloom.

The second brother said, "This thing is very valuable, right? I was wondering... how should I deal with it?"

Our family is not short of money now, so of course we don’t have to sell it, but if we don’t sell it, we can’t destroy it, right?

If you don't say anything else, Xinbao won't agree.

If you want to keep it, it is a rare thing after all. Even if you put it at home, it will eventually get out, it's just a matter of sooner or later.

Besides, they will start growing vegetables in the greenhouse soon. With Xinbao’s skills, the vegetables they grow will definitely be different from those grown by the villagers.

So is there any point in hiding it now? He really can't make up his mind.

Yan Shenjue didn't care and said, "If you trust me, just sell it. I guarantee nothing will happen."

As he spoke, he casually told Taiping, the servant boy beside him, "Go tell them I want a few flower pots, they don't have to be too good."

Taiping glanced at the green peony over there and went there as instructed.

The second brother didn't stop it either.

The people of the Yuan family were as omnipotent as ever. In less than half an hour, even the gardener came with the flowerpot. The gardener then got to work and quickly moved the flower into the pot.

So when the family came back, they found that there were a dozen pots of flowers in the yard.

It’s no wonder that when this green peony is planted in the ground, it looks like weeds and is inconspicuous. But once it is moved into a flowerpot, especially against the light green buds, it looks particularly high-end and classy, ​​and it’s obvious that it’s not cheap.

Yan Shenjue said: "First-grade jade is in short supply and extremely rare. Don't sell it too cheaply. One pot should be sold for at least twenty taels. If you meet someone who knows the value of it, you can even sell it for a hundred taels."

Brother Tang San exclaimed: "One hundred taels? "Yes."

Xinbao interrupted, "We should keep two pots for display! We should put them in the new house!"

"Well," said Brother Tang, "You can keep as many pots as you want. It's okay if you don't want to sell them."

Xinbao added: "You can sell it to the housekeeper's family!"

"That's true." Yuan Yaochu said, "Didn't that man say the other day that his master grows flowers?"

"Don't do that," said Brother Tang. "You take the pots from others and then sell them back to them. Don't bring trouble to the housekeeper. Just sell them like this. Take fewer pots and sell them in one day. Whatever you can sell, you'll get."
