The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 319
[Chapter 319 Bestseller]
Fang Xiu ignored the screams coming from behind and walked straight into the backyard.
During this period of time, he was busy everywhere, and his yard became the place he visited least.
On the stone bench in the yard, Xiu’er was holding a book and looking at it with concentration, not even noticing Fang Xiu’s appearance.
This has never happened before.
Which time did I go back home, and the happiest thing was not this little girl? Why was there no movement at all today?
Fang Xiu walked behind the little girl, poked his head, took a look, and asked curiously: “What are you looking at?”
When Xiu’er heard this, she jumped away like a frightened rabbit, her pretty face turned red. The words were hidden behind his back and he hesitated: “No, it’s nothing.” When Fang
Xiu saw this scene, he became even more curious, but he did not continue to ask. He just said: “I’m hungry, bring me some food.” “Okay.”
Xiu’er lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, and didn’t reply for a while.
When Fang Xiu saw this, the look of doubt on his face became more intense. He glanced at her and repeated, “Xiu’er?”
“Ah?”
Xiu’er raised her eyes and looked at Fang Xiu with a pair of big watery eyes, seemingly confused. Know what happened.
Fang Xiu said helplessly: “I’m hungry.”
“I’m going to get ready now,”
he repeated three times before Xiu’er realized what she was doing and left the yard as if running away.
Fang Xiu felt helpless when he saw this scene.
On weekdays, he rubbed his brows to see if he was too kind to Xiu’er and the others
. He sat down, turned around and took a look, only to find that there was another storybook placed on the stone table, which looked different from the one Xiuer was holding before. There is no difference between the two.
It should be the same series.
I don’t know what book made that girl Xiuer so fascinated by it.
Fang Xiu curiously picked up the storybook, glanced at it, and was speechless.
“Master!”
At this time, Xiu’er finally remembered that she had forgotten a book and hurried back.
The man was still outside the yard and had already shouted.
Fang Xiu raised his eyes and saw Xiu’er standing at the gate of the courtyard in a daze, as if she had seen something extremely embarrassing and blushing to the extreme.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
After a while, Fang Xiu waved the book in his hand and asked, “Is this book?”
“It’s not mine!”
Before Fang Xiu could speak, he was interrupted by Xiu’er.
Then he saw Xiu’er rushing to her side at a flying speed. Without saying a word, she picked up the book, turned around and ran away without stopping at all.
Even sprinters from previous lives would be amazed at that speed.
Xiu’er didn’t stop until she was far away from the backyard. She blushed and looked down at the book in her hand – the title on it was very eye-catching, “The Overbearing Young Master Falls in Love with Me”
In the backyard, Fang Xiu saw this scene , shook his head.
During this period, the previous “West Chamber” and so on could no longer meet the needs of the majority of women in the capital.
Therefore, Zhuxuanzhai took advantage of the situation and launched various new books. This book “The Overbearing Young Master Falls in Love with Me” is the best-selling book among them. It is no exaggeration to say that it has even reached the point where paper is expensive in Luoyang.
Unexpectedly, Xiu’er would read this book when she had free time.
Fang Xiu sighed with emotion and did not dwell too much on this matter. He turned to look at Bai Xiaochun behind him and asked, “How is the cultivation of the ten thousand year old ginseng plant before?”
Ten thousand year old ginseng is a sweet potato. I gave it to Bai Xiaochun and asked him to take good care of it. Counting the time, it should have sprouted by now.
If that sweet potato plant can really take root and sprout in the land of the Central Plains
, what good news it will be for the people all over the world.
Fang Xiu believed that he had never been a saint, and he was just doing it casually when giving porridge in the south of the city. However, he was a person who had experienced hardships, including hunger and suffering.
It is impossible to say that I don’t have any feelings when I see the victims who have fled from the Central Plains and their sallow complexions.
Therefore, he would not mind doing more for these poor people within his own ability.
What’s more, when he didn’t have a job in his previous life, he often bought a big bag of sweet potatoes and used them to satisfy his hunger. If possible, tasting the familiar roasted sweet potatoes would always bring back some past memories.
He has been in this world for so long that he has almost forgotten what kind of world he once lived in.
“Master”
Bai Xiaochun looked at Fang Xiu with a look of hesitation on his face. He thought for a moment and said, “I thought that the businessman before might have deceived you.” When
Fang Xiu heard this, he looked up at him and asked. : “What do you mean?”
Bai Xiaochun replied: “Because Qian Zheng has already cultivated several plants of the
ten-thousand-year-old ginseng.” Qian Zheng was the servant of the Fang Mansion who was responsible for taking care of the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng.
Bai Xiaochun had previous experience in doing farm work, so he gave this job to him.
In fact, Qian Zheng almost achieved the ultimate in this matter.
Because Fang Xiu’s instructions were to take good care of this ten thousand year old ginseng no matter what.
Therefore, for more than half a month, Qian Zheng has been guarding the ten thousand-year-old ginseng day and night.
If I weren’t worried about something happening, I wouldn’t even leave even after eating.
The observation of this 10,000-year-old ginseng has reached a level of meticulousness, which is quite similar to the research done by students of the Agricultural College in the previous life.
Of course, people in this era do not have the same understanding of agriculture as they did in previous generations.
Most people rely on the experience passed down from generation to generation to farm. Although the yield is not low, in the end they only know how it is but not why.
Of course, it’s not that there are people who are keen on observing and recording. It’s just that for most people who work in agriculture, they don’t have the time and energy to do these things.
But money is different. Since he took this task, all the things that originally belonged to him have been handed over to others.
All he needs to do is take good care of this 10,000-year-old ginseng plant to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
In the eyes of others, compared with other things, this matter really cannot be more leisurely.
But only Qian Zheng himself knew how difficult it would be to do this well.
When to fertilize, when to water,
whether it can be exposed to the sun, and whether it can be exposed to the cold.
These are basic questions. If anything goes wrong in any link, whether it will survive in the end is a question.
Just to figure this out requires countless records and countless observations.
It’s easier if you have a lot of these plants.
However, there was only one plant in front of him.
If something goes wrong, he won’t have a second chance!
