Chapter 322: Chirp, Stupid
Miao Jiu raised his hand and gently tapped the two little guys on the forehead: "Don't run around by yourselves. What if you encounter danger? If you get hurt, your aunt will be very sad!"
"We just met some friends." Si Jinchen covered his little head and looked at him with a smile.
"What friends?" Si Gu looked around but didn't see anyone.
Si Tian looked at this place and was a little confused: "Why are there no plants here?"
"I didn't notice it until you told me." Miao Jiu also looked around.
This place seems to be isolated. There are plants around it, except for this one.
"Uncle, our friends told us that this is the salt well that Uncle Three is looking for!" Juanjuan looked at them seriously.
"Really?" Si Tian never doubted it.
"Yeah, yeah. It said that if we dig from here we can find a salt well." Juanjuan pointed to this place and said.
Si Gu didn't say anything, just observed the two children. He had the shortest contact time with the two children. Although he had heard about it from his family once, he still found it a little unbelievable.
"Falcon. What good stuff did you bring back?" Juanjuan looked up and saw a peregrine falcon flying from a distance.
The peregrine falcon looked down and saw the person below, circled, and swooped down towards her.
Si Gu was so scared that he quickly stood in front of the two children, fearing that the peregrine falcon would hurt them, and he even covered his face with his arms.
Miao Jiu raised an eyebrow and touched Si Tian with his hand: "Did we forget to tell him that there is a peregrine falcon at home?"
"It seems so." Si Tian shrugged helplessly.
There are so many things going on at home, and I have to remember everything. Let him discover it himself!
Si Gu didn't feel any pain. Puzzled, he let go of his arm that was covering his body, and met a pair of eagle eyes.
The peregrine falcon pecked him lightly on the forehead with its beak: "Chirp, idiot."
Si Gu covered his forehead in pain and looked at it in confusion.
Juanjuan pulled his trouser leg and said, "Uncle San, it's Falcon, a good friend of mine and my brother!"
Si Gu turned slightly to the side and looked down at the two children: "Is it your friend?"
"Yes, the cherries and bayberries at home were brought back to us by Falcon Falcon!" Si Jinchen explained in a low voice.
The peregrine falcon didn't even bother to look at his dazed look, and loosened its claws, letting the things it was holding fall into their hands.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen had a few more fruits in their hands.
"Jianjian is the best. He brought us delicious food again." Juanjuan smiled so much that her eyebrows were curved.
Sigu even saw the peregrine falcon's arrogant expression and realized that none of the animals in this house were normal.
"Chirp. Go back and give me some dried fish." The peregrine falcon said and flew away.
"Let me see what I brought back for you this time." Si Tian looked at the fruits in their hands curiously.
"Lychees are not strange, but I have never seen this purple-blue fruit before. Can it be eaten?" Miao Jiu looked at the blackened fruit with some doubts.
"I saw it when I was abroad. The yield was low and the price was expensive. It should not be available in China." Si Gu reached out and picked up a bunch of small branches and leaves and looked at them carefully.
The quality is slightly worse than what he saw abroad, but from the appearance it should be the same as blueberry.
"Foreign fruits?" Si Tian turned to look at him.
Si Gu nodded and said, "It was only cultivated abroad in the past two years. It's very expensive and is only supplied to the upper class."
"How do you know?" Miao Jiu looked at him curiously.
"I know someone who's cultivating, so I met him once." Si Gu explained honestly.
Si Tian looked up at the peregrine falcon flying in the sky: "I don't know where this guy was found."
"Uncle San, are blueberries very expensive?" Juanjuan tilted her head and looked at him.
"According to the prices here, one or two taels may cost ten to twenty dollars." Si Gu converted the prices abroad and here.
Both children opened their mouths in an "oh" shape: "It's so expensive!"
"Yes, so it's not easy for Peregrine Falcon to find these for you. You can keep them and taste them!" Si Gu looked at the fruits hanging on it, not many.
Juanjuan carefully put the blueberries in her hand into her bag: "Juanjuan won't eat them. If I grow them, I can sell a lot of them and make a lot of money."
Si Gu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It took many years to cultivate it abroad, and it has not yet been possible to produce it in large quantities.
But it's her thing, so let her be.
Si Tian and Miao Jiu discussed it and decided to find a well-digging team to dig a salt well in this place.
Sigu's workshop will also be extended to this place to include the salt well. In addition to extracting bromine, salt can also be extracted.
It's beneficial and harmless to them.
The two finally decided to capture Si Gu and let him take his friends to play in Beiyang City, so as to prevent him from causing trouble at the construction site.
Otherwise it would affect the progress too much. He would also have to write down the machinery that needed to be purchased. Although the Pete family returned to their country, they left them the contact information of other suppliers.
They also don't have to worry about not being able to buy production equipment.
They returned home together, and Juanjuan and Si Jinchen gave the lychees to Si Ning.
Si Ning looked at the two lychees in their hands and asked, "Did Falcon give these to you?"
"Yes!" Juanjuan nodded vigorously.
"Then why don't you eat it and give it to your aunt?" Si Ning pinched their little faces.
"For my younger brother to eat. Once we have the cores, we can grow more lychees, and my aunt can eat a lot of lychees." Juanjuan answered seriously.
Si Ning felt warm in his heart.
Thinking of the bayberry and cherry trees in the yard, the sour plum soup sold in milk tea shops is very popular now.
They also sell fresh cherries and bayberries in the store, which are also sold out every day.
Just a few fruit trees have made them a lot of money during this period.
Siming also sent some to Chen Yongnian, who also asked if he could help buy a few plants as he wanted to plant them in the yard.
However, Sima Ming did not agree, but just said that he could eat as much as he wanted.
Chen Yongnian no longer forced them. Whenever he wanted to eat, he would call them, ask them to pick the fruits, and then he would send someone to get them.
Madam Si smiled at the two children and said, "A Ning, just eat it. Everyone can have it tomorrow."
"Then I won't be polite." Si Ning looked at the two children with a smile.
"Yeah. Auntie, eat it." Si Jinchen nodded with a smile.
Si Gu was still wondering, how would he eat tomorrow? Should he follow the peregrine falcon to pick some?
The next day, he saw two more fruit trees full of lychees next to the bayberry and cherry trees, and he fell silent.
Just as he turned around and was about to walk out from the other side, he saw several blueberry plants full of purple-blue fruits in the middle of the low bushes, waving at him in the wind.
What surprised him even more was that the blueberries were bigger than those he had seen abroad, and the fruit-bearing rate was much higher.
He couldn't help but pick one and put it in his mouth. It was sweet with an indescribable floral fragrance. It was really delicious!
He picked another one and put it into his mouth.
"Uncle San, is it delicious?" Juanjuan poked her little head out from the bushes, with a few leaves stuck in her hair.
