Chapter 100 An Income

That's because you don't know how to plant!Du Jinning complained in his heart.

This thing, in modern times, has a high output.At that time, she will use some marketing methods to earn tens of hundreds of taels of silver within two years, and it will be fine.

Without waiting for Du Jinning to speak, Yuan Xiuzhu waved his hand: "Okay, then, help me cure it, I'll give you 20 taels of silver, plus two strawberry seedlings, it's all right, right?"

Du Jinning laughed, "No problem."

She was actually quite entangled just now, whether she wanted money or strawberry seedlings, whether she wanted immediate benefits or long-term considerations.Although I chose strawberry seedlings, my heart was bleeding—it was not two taels of silver, but 20 taels of white flowers!She couldn't be more short of money now.

Now that it's all over, she got both the fish and the bear's paw, what else is she dissatisfied with?
After negotiating the remuneration, Yuan Xiuzhu couldn't wait to urge: "Since there is no problem, you can treat me quickly."

"Okay." Du Jinning looked around, "Do you have a kitchen here? Is there any garlic?"

"Are you hungry? Oh, that's right, you can work when you're full." Yuan Xiuzhu understood very well, "Let's go, let's eat something first, and then come and treat it."

"I don't want to eat." Du Jinning shook his head, "I want to extract garlic oil. In fact, there are many treatments for this white//powdery disease, such as the bark of the ginkgo tree at the gate of your Zhuangzi. But it is poisonous , Spray it on your strawberries, and you won’t be able to eat this season’s strawberries. Garlic oil is fine, it can cure diseases, and it’s non-toxic and harmless, so it’s the most suitable.”

While she was talking, Qi Bokun secretly tugged on her skirt, and said in a low voice, "You just need to know these methods yourself, don't tell him. When his strawberries get sick again, you can treat him again. Once." 20 taels, after a few times of treatment, you will not be short of money."

It is said to be "quiet", but the voice is not low at all, just enough for Yuan Xiuzhu to hear.

Yuan Xiuzhu was furious: "Well, you Qi Bokun, we have been dating for 40 to [-] years, right? Are you cheating me like this? There is still no shortage of money. I think my money will go to your pocket."

"Come on, come on, pretend to be here." Qi Bokun said as he opened his clothes.

"Fuck you, it's a good idea." Yuan Xiuzhu slapped him, turned to Du Jinning with a smile, "Although you Grandpa Qi is not a human being, you just said something human. You don't need to tell me about your methods. Me, my strawberry is sick, you just need to help me cure it. I will pay what I have to pay, and I will accept what I have to accept, and I was frightened by him."

Du Jinning looked at Qi Bokun, then at Yuan Xiuzhu, straightened his clothes, and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Grandpa Qi, and Mr. Yuan. I will always remember the kindness you have shown me."

Seeing that Du Jinning could understand what they meant, and was quite grateful, instead of simply refusing, the two were very satisfied.

Qi Bokun stroked his beard and said, "Okay, hurry up and take Xiao Ning to the kitchen."

After speaking, he said to Du Jinning again: "Hey, you don't know, Mr. Yuan, you not only like to grow flowers and grass, but also like to eat. Even if you build a thatched cottage by the roadside, you must have a kitchen, not to mention Such a big man."

"I said old man Qi, I didn't offend you today, did I? Why do you always expose my old background in front of my students?" Yuan Xiuzhu said angrily.

Seeing the two old men quarreling again, Du Jinning shook his head, and went to the back kitchen under the guidance of Yuan's servants.

Yuan Xiuzhu is indeed a foodie. The kitchen of this Zhuangzi is not only big, but also has a complete set of household items.Inside, two cooks and a few helpers were cooking meals in full swing, and the air was filled with the aroma of food.

Yuan Xiuzhu drove away a cook, gave Du Jinning a stove, and asked her, "What else do you need?"

"For two or three catties of garlic, people need to peel the garlic."

Yuan Xiuzhu waved his hand, and said to a man who seemed to be in charge: "Give it to him, and free up the manpower."

The steward said: "Master, the food is almost done. Why don't you serve it first? After you finish eating, the stove will be vacated, and the garlic will be peeled out."

Yuan Xiuzhu looked at Du Jinning, saw Du Jinning nodded, and said, "OK."

A group of people went to the dining room next to them.

As soon as everyone sat down, more than a dozen dishes were served like water, including braised pork, rock sugar elbow, sweet and sour fish... and a fire-roasted mutton dish, most of which were meat dishes.Although it is relatively homely, it cannot stand the fact that the cook is good at craftsmanship, and it looks delicious in color and fragrance.

"Come, eat." Yuan Xiuzhu stretched out his chopsticks first, and then greeted Du Jinning, "You're welcome, Du boy, just eat whatever you want."

Du Jinning was a little embarrassed.

She wants to eat too, she wants to die.

After passing through this month, I ate either corn mush or radish and cabbage all day long, and my mouth was about to fade out.How sad is this for a foodie?But she is used to this stomach and intestines, and she must not be able to bear it if she suddenly eats meat.

If it was in modern times, she would definitely not care about it, eat it first, and then go to the hospital for a few days to get needles, and she will be a good man again.

But in this ancient times with poor medical conditions, she didn't dare to take risks.

There will be plenty of time to eat good things in the future, but I only have one life.Even if he couldn't lose his life, he managed to earn 20 taels of silver, but gave it directly to the doctor, and he himself would suffer a big crime. Isn't that stupid, what is it?
Thinking of this, she stretched her chopsticks towards the two or three plates of vegetarian dishes.

"Hey, Xiao Ning, don't be shy. Come on, a big elbow." Yuan Xiuzhu was also unrestrained, and directly put a big elbow into Du Jinning's bowl.

"This..." Du Jinning didn't want to make excuses, so he directly told the two old people about his situation.

"Oh, your grandfather, I don't know what he thinks." Yuan Xiuzhu obviously knew Du Jinning's situation, shaking his head and sighing.

Qi Bokun was taken aback: "What?"

Yuan Xiuzhu didn't want to say this in front of Du Jinning, so he put the elbow back into his bowl, turned to the steward who was standing aside, and said, "Go ask the kitchen to cook some more dishes that this kid can eat."

"No, no, really no." Du Jinning said, "These three dishes are very good."

Indeed, although the cabbage is only cabbage, it is cooked in broth and tastes very good.Compared with my own dishes boiled in white water and dripped with a few drops of oil, they are simply pig food.

As a foodie, Du Jinning is actually pretty good at cooking.But firstly, she is a boy in the third room of the Du family; secondly, the dishes are not tasty no matter how they are short of oil and salt; The meals Chen and the others made were not cooked.

Yuan Xiuzhu had two cooks in this village, and those cooks were very agile, and they served three relatively bland dishes in a short while.

After the meal, the garlic is also peeled.Du Jinning started to make garlic oil.Yuan Xiuzhu and Qi Bokun were bored watching, so they simply went back to the house to play chess.After Du Jinning finished the garlic oil, we went to the strawberry garden together to watch her spray garlic oil on the strawberries with a specially made bamboo tube.

Of course, Yuan Xiuzhu didn't plant the strawberries himself. He had a dedicated flower carpenter. After spraying, Du Jinning handed over the bamboo tube and the remaining garlic oil to the flower carpenter: "Spray for a few more days, and the situation will get better."

It is still a process to treat people, let alone treat flowers and trees.Yuan Xiuzhu was not in a hurry, he told the carpenter and the steward a few words, and then got into the car with Qi Bokun and Du Jinning, ready to go back to the city.

"Hey, this is a bank note of 20 taels of silver. It can be exchanged at Shengchang Bank in the city." Yuan Xiuzhu sat down, took out a bank note from his pocket, and handed it to Du Jinning.

Du Jinning was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly evaded: "It hasn't been cured yet, and it won't be too late to give it after it is cured."

Yuan Xiuzhu originally wanted to help the child, regardless of whether the strawberry's disease could be cured or not, he would give it.How can she refuse at this time, he lowered his face, pretending to be displeased and said: "Could it be that you don't have confidence in yourself?"

Du Jinning also knew that the old man in front of him wanted to help her, so he was grateful, so he had to take the bank note and stood up to salute: "Thank you, sir."

"The car is shaking a lot, sit down quickly." Yuan Xiuzhu waved his hand and asked her, "What are your plans next? Are you planning to write more scripts, and then go to the academy after the next year?"
