Chapter 125 Zhao Gouzhuang's trip was less than three minutes old, and the Zheng family had already woken up Wen Sheng and Luo Ran.I put on my clothes in a daze and washed my face before I came to my senses.Luo Youli hugged Wen Sheng, Zheng pulled Luo Ran, and Wen Xuan carried the package and a quilt to the entrance of the village.Sure enough, I saw a carriage waiting there.The carriage is neither new nor old, which shows that this is a veteran of driving the carriage.The compartment was very clean, and a blanket was placed as a cushion.Luo Wenxuan and Zheng spread a quilt on it, the cushion was soft and warm, and Luo Ran and Wensheng sat in the quilt and continued to sleep.Zheng: "The child's father, Ran Er and Wensheng are two younger, you take good care of them."
The package contained food and drink, as well as clothes.If it's cold, don't forget to add clothes. ”Wen Xuan: "Dad, after I get there, let my sister follow the bookkeeping, and say that I will take two boys." ”Luo Youli responded and said, "Don't worry, go back."
We'll be back tonight. ”After getting into the carriage, he waved his hand.Zheng and Wen Xuan watched the carriage go a long way before going home.Wen Xuan thought in his heart that he must be admitted to Zhihe College and must get ahead.After Luo Youli got in the car, the car had already moved.The driver of the carriage is called Liu San, who is also from a nearby village, and his family has no land, and his biggest property is this carriage, and he now makes a living from it.Liu San is obviously a good talker, and he has been talking to Luo Youli since he got into the carriage.The two chatted quietly like this, and Luo Ran and Wen Sheng slept soundly.By the time Luo Ran woke up, it was already dawn, and he had already walked most of the way to Yangping County.Liu San: "Second Brother Luo, now that you have arrived in Yangping County, you will arrive at Zhaojiazhuang after a few miles."
Do you want to have breakfast in this county, I think my two children are hungry too. ”After an hour or two of talking, the two began to call each other brothers."
Thank you, three brothers, for the reminder.Find an affordable and clean place to stop, and I take the kids to eat.The three brothers will also come together, I will ask the brother to have a meal. ”Luo Youli said.Liu San: "Oh, Second Brother Luo, you are really polite.I can't let you please, we all pay for what we eat at our own expense.Don't be polite to me. ”Luo Youli saw Liu San's resignation, so he didn't say anything anymore.ate steamed buns and drank porridge at a stall, Luo Youli also packed five steamed buns and two eggs, put them in the quilt to keep warm, save it cold, and keep it hungry to eat.Luo Ran and Wen Sheng slept well, ate and drank well, and it was the time when they were full of energy, so they lifted the curtain curiously and looked at Yangping County.There is no prosperity in the city, it is an ordinary county seat.Liu San said that after passing through the county seat, he walked a few miles along the official road to Zhaogouzhuang.Out of the county seat, the road is surrounded by fields and villages.Before the snow had melted, the wheels of the carriage followed the marks of the wheels that others had already traveled.After walking for about half an hour, there was a fruit grove with snow on it, and Luo Ran couldn't tell what kind of fruit tree it was.When he arrived at Zhaogouzhuang, Liu San stopped the car and asked passers-by where the family selling saplings was.There is only one family in Zhaogouzhuang that sells saplings, which is the family surnamed He Laosan.It is said that He Laosan and his grandfather moved to Zhaogouzhuang and then made a living by selling saplings.Since then, the family has been tending to fruit saplings every day.He Laosan is a man in his forties, short in stature, and wearing a dusty padded jacket, which is quite new.After saying hello, Luo Youli explained his intentions.He Laosan was even less enthusiastic and led Luo Youli to see the fruit tree sapling forest.The types of fruit tree saplings He Laosan's family are still relatively complete, and there are basically saplings suitable for this climate.Like apples, peach trees, pears, persimmons, cherries, chestnuts, figs, hawthorns, apricot trees, and even sugar cane.There are two main types of sugarcane, fruit cane and sugar cane.Fruit cane is a sugarcane specially for fresh food, which has the characteristics of easy tearing, less fiber, moderate sugar, brittle stem, juicy and delicious, good taste, thick stem, long node, and beautiful stem shape.Sugar cane has a high sugar content and is a raw material used to make sugar, and is generally not used for fresh food on the market.Because the skin and hard fibers are coarse, the taste is poor, and it is only occasionally eaten fresh in the production area.Luo Ran had eaten sugar cane once in modern times, and it was indeed not as delicious as cane.asked He Laosan and said that there were both.This is a bonus, and growing sugarcane is also a good choice, either by selling it or boiling it into sugar, and unlike other fruit trees, sugarcane can be profitable within a year.Luo Youli and Luo Ran planned to plant forty acres of fruit groves in Zhuangzi, eight acres of apples, peach trees, and pears, and one or two acres of other land such as persimmons, hawthorns, apricot trees, cherries, etc., and five acres of sugarcane.After He Laosan briefly introduced the types of his saplings, he took a few people to look at the sapling forest.He Laosan pointed to a small sapling forest and said: "There are several batches of apple saplings this spring, the varieties are the same, and the fruits are sweet, but now the saplings are different in size, and of course the prices are different."
The best one is this one, which grows strong and has been around for a year to two years, and it will bear fruit after two years of planting. ”The apple tree is an adult height, the stalk thickness is required to reach one centimeter, the plant type is erect and not curved, basically inclination, there are 4 or 5 good branches in the shaping belt, the branches are strong and full, the stalk is slightly tender green under the snow, the elasticity is good, and there is no damage.Later, I looked at several others.Luo Youli said to He Laosan that he would come again in early March, and let him send the saplings over when the time came.He Laosan didn't expect that he would be able to make a business at the end of the first month, and the business was not small, so he only accepted Luo Youli five taels of silver as a deposit.I inquired about the place of Chen Lizhuang again.After walking seven or eight miles, I guessed Chen Lizhuang and looked at the lotus root seeds.The lotus root seller is an old man surnamed Zhang with his son and daughter-in-law, guarding a pond.I heard Luo Youli come to see the lotus root seeds, and asked his son to dig a piece of ice in the pond and dig out a few lotus roots."
It was planted in April, and most of it was harvested in the fall, leaving only a small part for the winter," he said.The lotus root variety is good, if the big one can catch up with the human arm. ”Luo Ran knows that in modern times, some people can save lotus roots for winter to dig and make a lot of money.It's just that in winter, you have to spend money to hire people to dig ice, which is a relatively large project in ancient times, and it is troublesome.When the time comes, you have to leave a small part until the winter.The fruit tree saplings and lotus root seeds also have a similar spectrum, and they will not be too busy in February and March.Luo Youli's mind was full of the knowledge he had received today, and when he went back from the carriage, he told Luo Ran that it would be great if he could read and write, and he could find some books on this subject to read.Luo Ran thought in his heart that his father finally had the consciousness of wanting to be literate, not bad.He opened his mouth and encouraged: "Dad, you can learn if you can't read, Dad won't be able to write his name now, and he will also learn to read the account book." ”To be continued.4209051:
