Sign-in space: I grew rich in ancient times

Chapter 139 Unhappy

Tang Yaoling's eyes fell on the gift that Qiao's sister put aside casually, his brows were furrowed uncontrollably, and there was a feeling of unhappiness in his heart, but he soon realized that he was strange, so he tried his best to restrain himself own emotions.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on Gu Xinfang's gift, and they didn't notice Tang Yaoling's less obvious emotional change.

Chen Huiyin opened the palm-sized brocade box, and saw a pair of beautiful bead flowers lying in the brocade box. The middle of the bead flowers was the size of an adult's thumb, and the color was golden pearls. , color and good quality pearls are extremely rare.

The outer layer of the pearl is polished from pink-purple hibiscus jade, which is extremely thin and transparent, with lifelike petals wrapping the pearl layer by layer.

Furong jade is not bad, but with the workmanship and the extremely rare golden pearls, Chen Huiyin closed the box, looked up at Gu Xinfang and said, "Sister Gu, these pearls are too precious."

But Gu Xinfang waved his hand and said, "Leave aside whether it's expensive or not, I just ask you, do you like it or not?"

Chen Huiyin nodded fiercely, of course she likes it, there is no girl who doesn't like beautiful jewelry.

Gu Xinfang was immediately satisfied, and said with a smile: "That's enough, birthdays only happen once a year, and of course gifts have to be sent to the heart." After finishing speaking, she reached out and took out the pearl flower from the brocade box, and replaced Chen Huiyin's head velvet flowers on.

After the gift-giving session was over, everyone put candles on the cake, lit it, and sang a birthday song. After Chen Huiyin made a wish and blew out the candles, the cake began to be distributed.

After lunch and lunch break, the three teenagers and two girls rode to the melon and fruit farm of the Chen family. The grapes on the farm began to ripen gradually, and some of them were ready to eat, so they planned to go to the melon and fruit farm in the afternoon.

Because Chen Huiyin's [-] mu of land was with the family's [-] mu of land, only one Zhuangzi was built. When they arrived at Zhuangzi, the horses were handed over to Zhuangzi's long-term laborers to feed them with fodder and water.

Chen Huiyin and the others greeted Fang He, and took the bamboo baskets to the vineyard under Chen Huiyin's name. The current grapes did not have many high-quality varieties in her previous life.

As for Chen Huiyin, there were only two new varieties of grapes that were mixed with the original local vines. One was a grape called Heishuang.

This kind of grape is not really black, but its grape skin is a kind of purple-black, because the fruit is powdery, which makes the surface of the grape skin look like a layer of frost.

This kind of grape has large fruit, a single grape is a circle larger than longan, short oval, juicy and delicious, less sour, no astringency, and refreshing fruit taste. , but the skin and flesh are easy to separate.

Another variety is called Red Honey Grape. Its color is bright red, and the skin color is well-colored, very uniform, and its appearance is very beautiful. Its fruit is oval, high in sugar content, and has no sour taste.
The fruit taste of the red honey grape is as sweet as honey, and the fragrance is a mixed floral fragrance, which is particularly pleasant.

Its flesh is crisp and its peel is medium-thick. Like black frost, it is very storage-resistant and transportable.

Chen Huiyin chose these two varieties mainly because they taste good, are durable in storage and transportation, high in yield and easy to take care of, are suitable for areas with drought and little rain, and have strong cold resistance.

Of course, the most important reason is that these two varieties, whether in terms of fruit shape or skin color, are similar to the current original grape varieties. The reason why they are said to be similar is naturally that their appearance is better. I thought it was because the grapes were grown well and had nothing to do with the variety.

After they arrived at the vineyard, Chen Huiyin took Gu Xinfang, pointed to the local grapes first, and then pointed to the new grapes she mixed in, and said to Gu Xinfang: "Sister Gu, my family has grown a lot of grapes. Although in the first year, there were not many grapes bearing fruit, but there were still a lot of [-] acres of land.

My family has shops in Shangdu and Dongdong. I can’t digest so many grapes. If you go south, you can bring some grapes to the south. I have noticed that these grapes grow better and have larger fruit. They should be the basis of the original species. On the surface, because of the climate, there has been a slight change, it is more delicious, and it can be stored and transported.

These two kinds of grapes can be stored for ten days at room temperature. If they are stored at low temperature, they can be stored for half a month or even longer. As for the original varieties, I plan to try to make wine. If they are successful, you can also transport them to the south and sell them Those wealthy families. "

Gu Xinfang felt that this suggestion was good, nodded slightly, and began to look at the grapes on the vine.

Wei Chen, who was following them, couldn't hold back, and asked curiously: "Sister Qiao, what do you mean, don't you sell any grapes of this original variety, and use them all to make wine?
But there are not many new varieties of grapes after all. Isn’t it too wasteful to use all the old varieties of grapes to make wine? These grapes are precious fruits, and only nobles and wealthy families can afford them. "

Tang Yaoling couldn't see that Wei Chen questioned Qiao Jieer, and besides, which one of Qiao Jieer's decisions was wrong.

He was already angry because the birthday gift he gave was not taken seriously by Qiao Jieer, but now he couldn't help but choked: "Qiao Jieer must have a reason for doing this, how do you know that the old variety Grapes will be wasted, maybe Sister Qiao will make a particularly good wine, I don’t know anything, why are you directing?”

Wei Chen was wronged by the training, and immediately complained to Chen Huiyin: "Sister Qiao, look at Da Lang, I just asked because I didn't understand, is there something wrong?"

Chen Huiyin looked at Tang Yaoling in confusion, and seeing that he was guilty of avoiding his gaze, she looked at Wei Chen and said, "Let me tell everyone about my plan first.

The old varieties of grapes are not released or transported. Even if the waterway is convenient now, it will take a while to travel from our vineyard to the pier by land.

We all have experience in horse-drawn carriages, and we will have a special harvest. When the grapes are transported to the wharf, the fruit will drop by one-third. one-third.

After the grapes fall, they rot faster and their appearance is also damaged. How can they be sold?What's more, the shelf life of old varieties of grapes is relatively short. They can only be stored for four to five days at room temperature, and only eight or nine days at low temperature.

It takes at least six days to travel from Huaiyuan County to Nandu, Yizhou and other places by water, and the time for us to sell grapes is only two days, or even less than two days.

Leaving aside the issue of whether the grapes are new or not after so many days, it is impossible to sell a large amount of grapes in just two days. This is why no merchants transport grapes from the south to our north to sell them. . "

After finishing speaking, Chen Huiyin looked at Tang Yaoling: "Da Lang, Wei Chen just has a problem that he doesn't understand. If you ask him, he is not wrong, but you. You should not choke him for no reason. Should you apologize to him?"
