Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 766: Chapter 100: A Forced Melon Can Be Sweet Too

~Thank you for the two pink tickets from "Xiao Yehu", at the end of the year, Yezi is busy with various summaries and the company’s annual meeting. I’ll make up for the extra updates of the Fan Tickets either on weekends or on New Year’s Day~

"Did Yezi leave me a number?" Xiao Xian is at Huake Institute, and Yezi couldn’t contact him for a while.

"Exactly, that kid also values loyalty. After Huang Tengchong was overthrown, he sent someone to specially invite Uncle Lu to help manage the several breeding farms under Huang, and our store also has seafood supplied by Huang which is even one yuan cheaper than the market price," The Yanqing Farm continues to supply sweet potatoes, and the Agricultural Specialty Store has fruit from North Campus specially supplied by Xiao Xian and juices from Cherry Valley; business is really good, which also allows Zhuo Feng to have peace of mind during pregnancy.

Xiao Xian took the phone number, and as she checked the number, Mao Dazhu randomely mentioned beside her, "Xiao Xian, why haven’t you woven some bamboo mats or cattail mats recently? Spring has passed, can summer be far behind?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xian couldn’t help but smile, it was her fault for being so busy helping the Wang Family develop new protective gear that she forgot about Mao Dazhu’s request.

Weaving mats is simple, but after the renovation of Zone C, there is no cattail left for weaving mats, and as for the Dragon’s Beard Grass, Xiao Xian can only assure to use it for the modified protections right now.

The last time at Huan Yu’s appreciation meeting, her mat accidentally ended up in the hands of Wang Zhonghe, this time she didn’t want any more mistakes.

After much consideration, Xiao Xian could only say apologetically: "Uncle Mao, I currently don’t have any grass materials available, so is it possible to delay the matter regarding the rattan mat?"

"Hey, old man here was just asking casually, no materials, nothing we can do, but the farm has owed money to Master for a long time. It was agreed to start repaying after a year, but your aunt is pregnant now, I feel bad about taking the baby’s milk money. I recently took a deal, helping with arranging flowers and green plants for an exhibition, and since you’re skilled in this area, could you help Master prepare some flowers and plants?" hearing that mats were out of the question, Mao Dazhu didn’t insist and immediately came up with another idea.

"Is Five Gentlemen Flower Art Company still taking venue decoration jobs?" Although she helped Mao Dazhu with the management of the cooling mats and rattan mats for a long time, Xiao Xian still wasn’t clear about the specific operations of "Five Gentlemen Flower Art".

Logically speaking, the bamboo products sales were off-season recently, and both Mao Dazhu and the senior home should have had little income, it’s unclear how Mao Dazhu was maintaining the expenses of the company and the added meals at the senior home.

"Look what you say, the bamboo art is just incidental. Master has told you before, we from South Gate originally came from a background of gardening and floristry, even now there are still some legends of our South Gate descendants in Yunnan. Back in the day, your Master’s ancestor was managing the Summer Palace for the Qing dynasty. His craftsmanship was impeccable, he used the ’Golden Scissors’ bestowed by the Emperor, unlike you using that dark little pair of scissors, it looks shivering," Mao Dazhu got excited as he spoke while Xiao Xian listened and couldn’t help but smile bitterly, this Mao Dazhu, always loves to exaggerate.

But speaking of which, the Agricultural Specialty Store and Yanqing Farm were indeed indebted to Mao Dazhu, and with Mao Dazhu’s new commission, she could only reluctantly agree.

"That’s fine, you’re lucky this time, I just arranged with Master Mei at the hospital to go to Cherry Valley this afternoon. Spring is here now, the earliest batch of roses in Cherry Valley should have bloomed. I’ll check if they can provide some." Xiao Xian agreed immediately, Mao Dazhu occasionally has his cunning moments, but he has taken very good care of her and Zhuo Feng, his two apprentice nephews.

After Mei Nian was hospitalized, he frequently visited Si Yiyi Hospital, always bringing fruits and milk, very courteous. Not to mention before staying at Si Yiyi Hospital, they had spent four or five days at Mao Dazhu’s siheyuan.

"Cherry Valley? Is it the place that produces the special Cherry Juice we have in the store? That’s even better, the cherry blossoms must be blooming beautifully at this time of the season. People at the venue might have gotten tired of seeing roses, think of some new ideas. When you go there, see if it’s possible to transplant some suitable cherry trees, both whole plants and trimmed branches are fine, best with a paler color." Before receiving news from Xiao Xian, Mao Dazhu was planning to airfreight some flowers back from Yunnan.
