Chapter 810: Chance Encounter (Page 1/2)
Lin Man really couldn't understand why the same tree would taste so different when planted in different places.
The fruit trees planted in the spiritual field in her space all produced particularly sweet fruits. She could understand that it was because the spiritual field was full of spiritual energy and naturally had no shortage of fertilizer.
But why aren’t the cherries in Huo Qingci’s space sour? There is no fertilizer in his space.
Looking at the toilet not far away, Lin Man instantly understood that Huo Qingci and Huo Qinghuan were probably using artificial fertilizers on these fruit trees.
Lin Man walked over and helped her father-in-law pick the cherries. The three of them picked together, and soon all the fruits from the two cherry trees were picked.
More than 20 kilograms of fruit were picked from one tree. Looking at the two large blue cherries, Lin Man felt a little headache because the cherries would rot easily after being picked.
These cherries are so sour, her children probably don't like them very much. My father-in-law said my sister-in-law likes them, but she can't finish so many in one go.
Thinking of this, Lin Man finally mustered up the courage, walked up to Huo Junshan, and slowly spoke:
"Dad, cherries are not easy to preserve, and Rourou can't eat so many at once.
How about asking mom to dry all these cherries into dried cherries?
This way it can be preserved longer, and Rourou can take it out anytime she wants to eat it in the future."
Hearing Lin Man's suggestion, Huo Junshan couldn't help but reveal a hint of doubt. He frowned and asked, "Don't Ningning and the others like to eat cherries?"
At this time, Huo Qingci hurried to help explain: "Dad, actually, although my children don't particularly like eating candy like Chenchen, they are not very interested in this kind of overly sour fruit."
Huo Junshan nodded in sudden enlightenment, "So that's how it is! Alright then, leave a few pounds for Rourou and Zizi to enjoy slowly, and you can use the rest to dry into dried cherries."
Lin Man had a lot of things waiting for her now, so she had no time to dry the cherries. So she firmly refused:
"Dad, I think you should take these cherries back with you. I'm quite busy lately and don't have time to dry them."
"Okay then. I'll take all these cherries back. When your mother finishes drying them, I'll bring some back for Ningning and the others."
Lin Man didn't say anything else. Huo Qingci looked at his watch and said, "Dad, it's getting late. Let's go to the furniture factory first, and then go to the shop. After we finish the shop and have lunch, we'll go back in the afternoon."
"Okay, I'll go get these two baskets of cherries and bring them to the door. You go get Uncle Zhang to get the keys and open the car door."
Huo Qingci said, "Dad, put the basket down first. I'll go call Grandpa and Uncle Zhang, and we'll go out together. Grandpa said he wanted to check out the shop, too."
Lin Man said, "I'll go call them!" Then she walked towards the living room in the main courtyard.
After a while, Huo Li came out with the driver and Lin Man.
Huo Li walked over and saw the two baskets of red cherries. His eyes lit up immediately and he couldn't help but bend down and reach out to grab one from the basket.
He put it in his mouth and took a light bite. His brows knitted tightly together, and he shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Oh! This cherry is too sour. My old teeth can't stand it. I just took one bite and my whole teeth feel sour."
Huo Qingci, who was standing by, saw that his grandfather's eyes were squinting with pain, and he quickly suggested:
"Grandpa, since you're back in the city, why not take this opportunity to have Uncle Zhang take you to the dentist? Maybe he can solve your dental problem."
However, Huo Li waved his hand and replied with a smile, "Seeing a dentist is not something that can be done in one day!
Let’s wait until August this year, when we have completely moved to the city, before we go and see it.

Today, I have to go to your shop to see how business is going recently."
Hearing his grandfather say this, Huo Qingci could only nod and agree, "Okay, Grandpa. Then let's go to the furniture factory now and order the tables, chairs, benches, and counters needed for the hot pot restaurant, and then go shopping in Wangfujing. What do you think?"
"Just arrange it!"
Then the group of five drove to the furniture factory. Huo Qingci and Lin Man first decided on the counters, shelves, tables, chairs and benches that would be used in the store.
After paying a part of the deposit, they took their grandfather and father to Wangfujing Street.
Huo Li looked at the three-story shop in front of him and was very satisfied. He said, "I remember that this floor used to sell snacks, and the business was very prosperous. No wonder it cost so much to buy this shop."
The driver, Lao Zhang, said with a smile, "Sir, the shops around here are very expensive. Xiao Huo is truly capable of buying such a large shop on Wangfujing Street."
Huo Li smiled and nodded, "My Qingci is indeed capable."
Huo Qingci, who was standing aside, gently squeezed Lin Man's hand and said, "Manman, this is all thanks to you."
Lin Man understood that Huo Qingci was telling her not to think too much, so she just smiled and said nothing.
Huo Junshan couldn't help but sigh, "This shop is really huge. The first floor is about 300 square meters. Even if it is divided into three rooms, it's still not small!
Xiao Man, there are three shops on the first floor. Do you want to sell one?"
Lin Man was stunned. Could it be that her father-in-law wanted them to give the shop to Song Jingjing, and then withhold the money for the shop until they made some money...
Could it be that my father-in-law was planning this? Could it be that while he complained about Huo Qingyan and Song Jingjing, he actually loved them the most?
Lin Man was stunned when Huo Junshan said, "I don't mean anything else. I just think this shop is so good that I want to buy one too. When I retire, I will start a small business with your mother."
Huo Li frowned unhappily. "Let the young people handle business matters. You're about to retire, what kind of business do you still want to start?"
"Dad, I'm not opening a store like Xiaoman's. I saw this store is so good, so I bought one to open a grocery store."
Seeing his father was serious, Huo Qingci said, "Dad, if you really want to buy a shop, we'll keep an eye out for you. We'll keep these three shops downstairs for ourselves."
"Okay, then I'll save money for another two years. If there's a suitable shop, please help me buy a slightly bigger one."
"Okay, let's go in first!"
Huo Qingci took his grandfather and father to visit each shop. Huo Junshan and Huo Li would take the initiative to greet the busy workers when they saw them.
Huo Junshan would also talk to the master about decoration matters, such as feng shui arrangement.
After viewing the decoration on the first floor, they went up to the second floor to take a look. Huo Junshan asked Lin Man again, "Xiao Man, is the second floor really used to open a hot pot restaurant?
If you open a clothing store and a flower shop downstairs, will the aroma of hot pot spread to the shops downstairs?"
Lin Man had thought of this problem a long time ago. She said, "Dad, don't worry about this problem. There are exhaust vents on the second floor."
Then they went up to the third floor. Seeing that it was empty, Huo Junshan became anxious again. "What are you going to do with this third floor?"
Huo Qingci explained: "Dad, we will use it as a warehouse temporarily for three years."
Huo Junshan muttered, "It's a shame to use such a large area as a warehouse. Why don't you find a way to rent it out, or divide it into rooms and rent them out."
