Chapter 654： The price of schadenfreude

Chapter 654: The Price of Gloating about Misfortune

"Uncle Hei, you have done a great job. Even if these fruits cannot be planted all over the mountains here, if you put them in a greenhouse, even one basket can be sold for a sky-high price, which is enough to pay for ten more trips. ”

Jiayin’s unstinting praise made Lao Hei and others heave a long sigh of relief.

You must know that they have almost spent the money given by the master on this trip.

They were worried about it on the way, fearing that whatever they brought back would be useless and their master would have to pay for it.

Fortunately, fortunately…

Lao Hei felt more relaxed now that he was relieved of the heavy burden in his heart.

He opened the door of the last carriage and said: "Princess, we found in Yunzhou Prefecture that the local sweet potatoes are particularly sweet and the flesh is red, so we took a cart to our family.

“Look, it’s best if it can be used. Even if it’s not of much use, baking it for the children at home will make their mouths sweet.”

Jiayin reached out and picked up a few, her eyes widened with laughter, "These are sweet potatoes, much better than what we grow here! This is also good stuff, and you can sell it at a good price if you send it directly to the pastry shop!"

This sentence is like the finishing touch, drawing the most perfect ending to this trip south.

From Lao Hei to all the men, they all grinned.

More than two months of hard work finally paid off.

At this time, Xiaocui rushed over from the second village.

Jiayin asked: "Auntie, have Uncle Hei and his friends prepared their meals?"

"Ready!" Xiao Cui smiled and responded simply, "I have cooked three large pots of noodles with meat sauce and egg sauce. The big kang has also been heated up. The new coats and trousers are all ready. Just wait for them to go back. "

Lao Hei and others felt itchy after hearing this. They just passed by the workshop and were thinking about noodles mixed with meat sauce. Now they can eat it in their mouths.

Jiayin quickly asked them to go back. Just when the village chief, Liu Biaotou and the villagers heard the news, they all came to watch the fun. At this time, they happened to help carry the things in the car to the greenhouse behind.

Jiayin separated one-third of the medicinal materials at that time and took them directly to the small courtyard of Dr. Zhang.

The old man was hit hard by the wound medicine she prepared last time, and he tried his best to save his master's face.

If these medicinal materials are not delivered, the old man may not be able to sleep well tonight.

This was the first time for several villagers to enter Jiayin's greenhouse. They were all surprised by how warm it was like spring. They also saw a lot of vegetables and fruits, and they all said that they felt like they had entered a fairyland.

Jiayin picked a few bunches of grapes for them to eat, but they were reluctant to part with them. They carefully held them with their hands and prepared to take them back to the elderly and children to eat.

Finally calmed down, Jiayin asked Shui Ling to guard the door, and started to tidy up.

Except for some fruit seedlings and medicinal seedlings left outside as a cover, the rest are collected into the space, optimizing what needs to be optimized, and nurturing what needs to be cultivated.

This busy schedule lasted all afternoon and all night. Shuiling was so sleepy that she fell asleep directly on the couch at the door.

Fortunately, in the greenhouse, the heat from the sunlight received during the day is stored, so it is also very warm at night.

Good news moves in and out of space through the cover of the vines.

By the time the sky turned white, there were already two acres of new medicinal herbs in the space, and the roots of the banana tree had grown two feet tall again.

Slightly yellow banana bunches grow layer after layer around the trunk, which is very pleasant.

Not far away, there are loquat trees, citrus trees, mangosteen trees, and pomegranate trees, all of which are rich in fruit...

Just think about it, you can eat these fruits casually in the future, or even sell them as a novelty with the help of Baiyunjian. You will definitely make a lot of money, and the good news will not feel tired at all!

The little fox was running around in the space like crazy, tasting this and tasting that, and was very busy.

As a result, it finally found that grapes are the most delicious...

The little green snake was gloating about its misfortune and secretly sticking out its tongue in the cage. The little fox discovered it, swung its big tail and gave it a rotating flying cage package!

Finally, the little fox ran to the henhouse again, stole an egg, and ate it in front of the little green snake...

Jiayin ignored these two enemies and cut a bunch of bananas, intending to give the family a fresh taste. But it was just dawn, and almost no one in the family was awake.

Fortunately, there was movement in the yard next door. Jiayin climbed up the wall and took a look. Sure enough, his foster father was practicing martial arts.

So, she climbed down with a smile.

In order to make it easier for her to climb the wall, the Ye family has always set up a ladder under the wall.

Before she could jump down with good news, the Marquis had already thrown away his sword and came to pick her up.

The morning breeze was too cold, so the father and daughter entered the study.

 As a gift of good news, I offered the bunch of bananas.

“Father, I don’t even know when you will come back!

“Try it quickly. This is the fruit brought back by Uncle Hei from Yunzhou Prefecture. It is particularly sweet and soft. It can also be eaten to relieve constipation. Haha, in short, it is suitable for all ages.

“Grandma and the others haven’t woken up yet, my adoptive father will eat first!”

Jiayin peeled off a banana and handed it to the Marquis's mouth.

Like ordinary men, Mr. Hou is not very interested in fruits.

After all, the fruit does not have the aroma of meat, and you will not feel hungry or gain strength after eating it.

But this is what my daughter feeds, so I have to eat it no matter what!

Master Hou smiled and took a bite, but he was pleasantly surprised. "Hey, this banana is really soft and sweet. Even the elderly and children without teeth can eat it."

"Of course! If it doesn't taste good, can I climb the wall to deliver it to my adoptive father?" Jiayin said proudly, "Father can eat as much as he likes. I have a lot more there."

By chance, Dongmei heard the commotion and brought warm water in for the Marquis to wash up.

Jiayin broke off two more sticks and let her and Ye Shan taste them too.

Dongmei smiled and said, "Is this what the convoy brought back from the south yesterday? There are more fruits in the south than in the north, and they are also novel."

Jiayin replied with a smile: "After the New Year, Uncle Hei and the others are going to Sichuan Prefecture. There are more good things there."

The Marquis nodded, finished the banana in his hand, and said: "Earlier, the expedition team you mentioned also accepted the mission and came back from the north. Not only did they bring back things for their employer, they also inquired about a lot of news about the barbarians.

“There is also the express company that helps people deliver packages and letters. It has also begun to organize. Preliminary calculations show that hundreds of people can be used.

“In this way, all the wounded soldiers will be properly arranged and have jobs to support their families.”

After saying that, he ruffled Jiayin's hair and praised: "These are all thanks to your blessing. Tell me what kind of thank you you want, and your adoptive father will definitely find it for you."

Jiayin smiled and waved her hands, "No, foster father, I have already received the thank you gift! Uncle Hei and the others are all good hands, and they brought me so many good things back after just one trip!"

Seeing that she refused to take credit, the Marquis stopped insisting and asked about the birthday gift for the Wanshou Festival.

The father and daughter discussed it for a few words and felt relieved that it was safe.

Soon, in the yard next door, the old lady lost her granddaughter, and Shuiling woke up and lost her master. They all started shouting, and Jiayin quickly climbed up the wall and went back.

After breakfast, the good news went to Dr. Zhang to report as usual.

As expected, the old man got new medicinal materials and had no time to take care of his young apprentice.

He gave his young apprentice a book of meridian and acupoint maps, plus a special bronze figure, and then he plunged into his medicine room and never came out.

Jiayin carried the meridians and acupuncture points chart, and Shuiling carried the copper figure on his shoulders. They walked home all the way, but they made a lot of attention in the village.

The villagers couldn't help but laugh, feeling sad that the good news had been released again.

Everyone knows that this master, Doctor Zhang, sometimes works as a hands-off shopkeeper.

When they got home, the Li family couldn't laugh or cry.
