"That's it. I'll plant the seeds tomorrow and water them with ancient spring water. I'll harvest the chestnuts along the way."
Wang Yao looked up at the chestnuts that had already exploded. Some of the yellow chestnuts had already fallen to the ground. Wang Yao had already picked up a lot of them under the tree. They were all big and dark purple in color.
"I'll take them back and fry them."
After dinner, Zhang Xiuying put a plate of fried chestnuts on the table. The aroma was tempting.
Wang Yao opened a chestnut while it was still hot and put it into his mouth. It was very fragrant, very sweet, and very delicious.
"Delicious!"
"Yes, it's delicious. Is this also the fruit of the chestnut trees on the hill?" Zhang Xiuying asked.
"Yes."
"Why didn't it taste good last year? Why is it different this year?"
"Maybe the mountain god saw that I've been busy for three years and didn't want me to go back empty-handed. So, he showed up!" Wang Yao said with a smile.
"That's possible. Go to the hill tomorrow and burn some paper money to worship the mountain god."
"Mom, don't worry about it. I've never heard of the mountain god in this village. That's a lie. Your son has been busy on the hill all day. How can I not have some results?" Wang Yao quickly stopped his mother. It was autumn now. The weather was dry and the wind was strong. The whole hill might be burned down.
The next morning, when Wang Yao came to the hill, he was surprised to find that the seeds of the antidote herbs he planted yesterday had sprouted. There were some green leaves on them.
"Isn't this speed a little fast?!"
He picked up the tools and planted the seeds he bought from the county yesterday. Then, he carefully watered them with diluted ancient spring water.
I hope they can sprout soon!
After planting the herbs, he picked up a pole and started to beat the chestnuts. It took him a day to beat the chestnuts. He put the chestnuts in a bag and planned to sell them in town the next day.
"These chestnuts should be able to exchange for some money."
Although he had made some money by selling dates and sealwort some time ago, he had spent 400,000 yuan on the contract for the mountain. He had no money on hand, so he wanted to save some money to buy a car. Otherwise, it wouldn't be suitable for him to ride a motorcycle when it was cold.
"San Xian, you have to take good care of the herbs I planted. Don't let anything go wrong." Before going down the hill, Wang Yao asked San Xian, who was guarding the hill, to take care of San Xian. These days, San Xian seemed to have grown bigger.
Woof! Woof! Woof! San Xian barked a few times to show that it understood.
A day later, when he went up the mountain the next morning, he found that the seeds he planted yesterday did not germinate, but the detoxification grass he planted the day before yesterday was growing well after germinating.
"What's going on? Don't tell me you bought inferior seeds?"
This time, when Wang Yao watered the seeds, the concentration of ancient spring water was several times higher. After finishing his work, he took a big bag of chestnuts to town on his motorcycle. He went to the place where he set up his stall a few days ago.
"Hey, young man, you are here again. What are you going to sell this time? Still dates?" It was the same man next to Wang Yao. His surname was Chen and his name was Kun.
"No, chestnuts."
"Chestnuts, how much are you going to sell them this time?"
"30 yuan," Wang Yao said after thinking for a while.
"Well, there should be people who want to buy them." Having seen the magical scene when Wang Yao sold dates, the middle-aged man believed that chestnuts could be sold even at 50 yuan a kilo, and people would probably go crazy to buy them.
After a while, people came to ask about the price. However, when they heard that it was 30 yuan a kilo, they all turned around and left. They looked at Wang Yao as if he was an idiot.
"F * ck, if you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it. What do you mean by looking at me like that?"
"Hey, isn't this the boss who sells dates? What good stuff do you have this time?" A man who bought dates last time noticed Wang Yao.
"Boss, what are you selling this time? Chestnuts. They are not small. How much for 500 kilo?"
"30 yuan."
"Give me one kilo to try." After hearing the price, the man didn't have the same reaction as the previous people. Instead, he paid for one kilo.
"Here you are."
In the morning, Wang Yao sold one kilo of chestnuts. He was not in a hurry. At noon, he bought two kilos of chestnuts and took out his mobile phone to check the knowledge of planting herbs that he had downloaded.
In the afternoon, the magical scene happened again. Many people drove to buy chestnuts. The big bag of chestnuts was quickly sold out.
"Hey, I have to be convinced!" The stall owners were all envious.
"Take this back and try it." As usual, Wang Yao left some for Chen Kun.
"How can I accept this?" Chen Kun hurriedly said. A few kilos of chestnuts was equivalent to his day's income.
"Hey, it's grown by my own family. Take it."
"Okay, thank you."
Wang Yao rode the motorcycle home while humming a song.
Beep, beep, beep. Suddenly, there was a car horn.
Wang Yao looked back and found a white Audi A4. The window was down. Inside the car was Yang Ming, who he had met by chance a few days ago. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes and was extraordinarily handsome. In the front passenger seat, there was a beautiful woman with light makeup. She had white teeth and red lips. Her eyebrows were picturesque.
"Tong Wei?"
"Wang Yao!"
The young woman was also surprised.
"How can it be you? Didn't you study abroad?"
"She just came back this year." Yang Ming at the side said, "Are you free tonight? Let's get together. I have an appointment with a few other classmates."
"Another day. I still have something to do at home." Wang Yao hesitated for a moment and said.
"Another day then."
"Goodbye." Tong Wei smiled and waved at Wang Yao. A beauty's smile was like a flower in full bloom.
"Goodbye."
The Audi and the motorcycle separated and went far away.
One was wearing a suit and leather shoes, driving a good car and having a good job. The other was wearing ordinary clothes, riding a second-hand motorcycle, and "not doing proper work" at home. One was once a "bad student", the other was once a good student. In the end, there was still a big gap between them.
"What is Wang Yao doing now?" In the car, Tong Wei looked out of the window and asked.
"He is farming at home." Yang Ming smiled and said, "I met him a few days ago. He seemed to be buying some seeds."
"Farming? How is that possible?" Tong Wei was surprised. He used to be a top student in his class and even in the department. His score was only one step away from Tsinghua University. Who would believe that he chose to go home and farm?
"It's true. How can I lie to you? He said it himself." Yang Ming smiled.
Tong Wei didn't speak. She just looked out of the window quietly. She had left this small town for three years.
"Where should I go to welcome you tonight?"
"Anywhere." Tong Wei didn't seem to be very interested in this matter.
"Let's go to Spring of the Southern Kingdom. The southern dishes there are very authentic," Yang Ming said.
"Okay. Take me home first."
I didn't expect her to come back! Wang Yao rode the motorcycle, but his mind was thinking about the beauty just now.
