Chapter 81 Watermelon
"Ahem, Xiao Tianyu, I'm here to pick you up and take you to my house for breakfast. You can go up and call them. I'll be waiting for you in the lobby."
Who was Xiao Tianyu? How could Guo'er's expression have escaped his notice?
Shy! The corners of his mouth curled up to reveal a bright smile.
He seemed to be in a good mood and said gently, "Okay, go sit on the sofa over there for a while, I'll go wake them up."
Seeing her nod, he quickly went upstairs, called Zhou Xiangdong and Liang Hong to get up, and then took a quick shower himself.
The breakfast was quite rich, with steamed buns, boiled shrimp porridge, boiled eggs, salted duck eggs, corn, etc., and several plates of homemade pickles and kimchi.
Zhou Xiangdong loves eating kimchi and has a sweet mouth. He made Luo Xianglian smile so much that she promised to give him a few jars of kimchi when he left.
The fighting power of several people was still pretty good. There were only some buns left from breakfast, and the rest were eaten.
After dinner, Li Guoer and Li Xuezhu took the three of them to the greenhouse first.
The vegetables in the greenhouse are growing vigorously, and the fruits are big and good, and they look delicious.
Zhou Xiangdong even picked some tomatoes to taste. They were crunchy, sweet and sour, and delicious, which could immediately stimulate one's taste buds.
Unlike many tomatoes, it is neither sour nor sweet, and tastes like plain water in the mouth, with no taste at all.
After visiting the greenhouse, I took a few people to the fruit garden. At this stage, the only ripe fruits are plums, loquats and apricots.
I also reserved 30 mu of land for growing watermelons and cantaloupes, and planned to build a greenhouse and plant half of it in strawberries in the winter.
Some of the watermelons and cantaloupes are ripe.
With the blessing of diluted spiritual spring water, the big watermelons weigh 20 kilograms, and the small ones weigh more than 10 kilograms, so the yield per mu will not be low.
Li Guoer also picked a dozen watermelons and put them on the roadside, waiting to take them home when she returned from the farm.
I'll go back and try one later, and let Xiao Tianyu and the other two take the rest back.
After visiting the farm, the group took the watermelons and returned to Li's house.
The weather in May is already very hot, and the temperature today is 30 degrees.
After returning from the field, Li Guoer cut a watermelon directly.
As soon as the melon is cut open, a fresh fragrance spreads out. The flesh is pink and crunchy, with a thin skin and plenty of flesh.
He gave each person a piece of watermelon and took one for himself as well.
As soon as you take a bite, your eyes light up. It’s so delicious!
It has a sweet taste, delicate texture and lots of juice. In such hot weather, just taking a bite is so refreshing.
"This melon is delicious. It tastes like watermelon." Zhou Xiangdong praised while eating.
I really enjoyed my food at Li's house. Everything was delicious.
After eating the watermelon, we discussed purchasing.
Zhou Xiangdong said that vegetables, fruits, and meat are all needed.
After negotiating prices with Li Xuezhu, we learned that fruits and vegetables were 20 to 30 yuan per catty, pork and rabbit 50 yuan per catty, chicken, duck and goose 60 yuan per catty, and beef and mutton 100 yuan per catty. Seafood was 2 to 4 times the seasonal price.
I have to say that the price is really not expensive. Xiaoyu was right. He readily agreed to the price and signed the contract.
After lunch, the three of them left with the various homemade specialties prepared by Guoer's family.
Imperial Capital Leadership Office
"Boss, President Liang is here." the guard reported.
"Please ask him to come in."
Hearing the footsteps, the leader put down the pen he was signing and asked, "Is this done? Did it go smoothly?"
"Big boss, everything has been done. This trip to the Li family is over."
Liang Hong reported in detail to the leader everything he saw and heard during his visit to the Li family.
"It seems that you had a smooth journey this time. Although you didn't make a good friend, your disciple is loyal to our country."
"Also, you need to complete the construction of the new pharmaceutical factory as soon as possible. Those prescriptions must not be leaked. Keep them confidential."
"This young comrade named Li Guoer is very good. She didn't ask for anything from us. We can't treat her unfairly. How do you think we should reward this young comrade?" the senior leader asked.
"It's really hard to reward talented people like them. But I heard from the Li family that Li Guoer is interested in developing a mountain near her home, but she doesn't have enough money."
"How about asking the local government to allocate funds and jointly develop the area with her? We can help her find a team to build the scenic area?"
"We can also give her a house in the capital, so that she will have a place to stay when she comes to the capital in the future, and it will help us get closer to each other."
After listening to Liang Hong's words, the leader thought they made sense.
"Do as you say. Ask her what kind of house she likes and make sure she's satisfied."
He had no choice. Every country had dark forces, including those in his country, and they were all people who knew ancient martial arts.
These people have a high opinion of themselves, are unruly, respect the strong, are unwilling to obey the state's management, and often engage in fights and commit crimes.
Some even help foreign forces to secretly harm the country. If this continues, problems will arise sooner or later.
