Xia Ruofei's philosophy from beginning to end was to walk the high-end route.
Even the ordinary vegetables he grew were several grades higher than the ones on the market.
Xia Ruofei considered many factors when choosing the fruit trees. He sat on a large rock at the foot of the mountain for a long time before he decided on two fruit trees: lychee and cherry.
The price of these two fruits was relatively high and the trees were very ornamental.
Needless to say, lychees were commonly planted in the south. There were many lychee trees in Sanshan City. In the thousand-year-old West Zen Temple, there was an ancient lychee from the Song Dynasty. Every summer, it would still bear bright red fruits. Therefore, there was no problem growing lychees here.
As for cherries, Xia Ruofei liked to eat them. Secondly, they were very expensive on the market. Ordinary cherries cost dozens of yuan per kilogram.
However, cherries were mostly planted in the north. He didn't know if the climate in the south was suitable for the growth of cherry trees.
Xia Ruofei wasn't in a hurry to go back. He took out his phone and searched for information on the internet.
Sure enough, there were some places in the Southeast Province that had the tradition of planting cherry trees. However, most of them were in the mountains in the north. Sanshan City was located on the east coast of the Southeast Province. The climate was hot and humid, so it probably wasn't suitable for planting cherry trees.
Especially the big cherries, they were mostly from the Shandong region.
However, Xia Ruofei still decided to give it a try. He had confidence in the Ring-Tu space. He also believed that with the help of the space pool and the strange flower petals, he would definitely succeed.
Moreover, if he succeeded in planting cherries in Sanshan City, the advantages would be very obvious.
Cherries could be stored for a very short time. They could only be stored for three days at most. Even if they were stored in the refrigerator, they wouldn't last more than a week.
Therefore, if cherries from other places wanted to enter Sanshan City, they would have to rely on air or cold chain transportation.
In this case, locally produced high-quality cherries naturally had an unparalleled advantage.
Xia Ruofei still maintained the habits of the army. Since he had made up his mind to fight, he didn't need to think about the future. He just needed to put it into action.
He decided that after the New Year, he would go and settle the matter of the fruit tree saplings.
Xia Ruofei had already woken up a little late. After taking a stroll, it was almost lunchtime. Thus, he walked back while strolling.
It was the New Year's Eve dinner, so everyone had a simple lunch. After lunch, they went back to their rooms to rest for a while. They all got up at three o 'clock in the afternoon and made dumplings together in the restaurant on the first floor.
The New Year's Eve dinner in the south was usually held earlier. Basically, the situation of watching the Spring Festival Gala while eating the New Year's Eve dinner basically did not occur like in the north.
Most of the time, after everyone had finished eating, they would clean up the bowls and chopsticks and then sit together as a family to watch the gala.
At around five o 'clock, Huzi's mother had already prepared the New Year's Eve dinner. Plates of delicious dishes were placed on the table, and she brought the dumplings everyone had made to the kitchen.
While Huzi's mother was still cooking the dumplings, Lin Qiao couldn't help but sneak a piece of beef into his mouth.
Ye Linyun, on the other hand, was sitting upright and still, just like when he was in the army. Even when he was sitting, his back was as straight as a pencil.
When Huzi's mother served the cooked dumplings, everyone went to the table to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.
Xia Ruofei specially opened a bottle of red wine. This was the wine that Xijiangyue's Chief Zheng had asked the buyer to bring to Xia Ruofei two days ago.
Xia Ruofei didn't know much about wine, but the red wine given by Chief Zheng was definitely not cheap. During Xia Ruofei's class reunion last time, a bottle of 1985 Petrus given by Chief Zheng cost more than a thousand US dollars. This bottle was definitely not inferior to the wine from that day.
While pouring wine for everyone, Xia Ruofei suddenly had an idea. The original space now had a 30 times faster time flow, and it also had a unique environment. If the wine was properly preserved, especially the white wine, it would become more fragrant as it aged.
If he put some wine in it, wouldn't he be able to get super-aged wine in no time?
The thirty-year-old and fifty-year-old wines that were sold at sky-high prices on the market were nothing compared to it!
With this idea in mind, Xia Ruofei couldn't wait to go shopping right now. He resisted the urge and poured the wine for everyone.
Xia Ruofei raised his glass and said with a smile, "Auntie, Qiao 'er, Lingyun, it's fate that we're gathered together for the New Year today. Let's toast first! I also wish all of us a smooth and prosperous year in the coming year! "
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses and lightly clinked them, then drank.
Even Huzi's mother took a small sip, while Lin Qiao took a big gulp. As soon as the wine entered her stomach, her small face immediately flushed red. The rosy color in her fair skin was very attractive.
"Drink slowly …" Huzi's mother glared at Lin Qiao dotingly and said.
Lin Qiao mischievously stuck out her tongue and said, "I know!"
"Come come come, everyone, let's eat …" Huzi's mother said, "Let's see if my food is to your taste."
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Auntie, Lingyun and I don't have any other relatives now. In the past few years, when we were in the army, we had to prepare for war every New Year's Eve. Sometimes, we would eat a few mouthfuls of food at the sentry post. So, this feast that you've prepared for us is definitely the best we've eaten in all these years!"
Ye Linyun also nodded heavily to express his agreement.
Xia Ruofei picked up a piece of braised carp with his chopsticks and tasted it. "Mmm! It's delicious! Auntie, this is the taste of home we've always dreamed of … "
"You're such a sweet child …" Huzi's mother's eyes became a little red. "If you like it, I'll make it for you often in the future. Huzi used to love my braised carp the most …"
Lin Qiao looked at her mother and said, "Mom … let's not talk about these sad things during the New Year …"
Huzi's mother wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mom is fine … I'm happy! Although Huzi is no longer here, Ruofei is taking good care of us now. My body is also better, and your problem of going to school is also solved. Our days are prosperous. How good is that! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Auntie is right! In the future, we have to be happy. Huzi's spirit in heaven will definitely be happy! We'll celebrate the New Year together every year. Everyone will be happy together! "
After that, Xia Ruofei said to Ye Linyun, "Linyun, Class Monitor Lin took care of you a lot when he was here. Toast to Auntie and Qiao 'er on his behalf!"
"Yes!" Ye Linyun immediately stood up with a glass of wine.
