Chapter 125: Landlord Dad's Trouble 11
Han Shubo went to school, and his daughters had to go to Wangjia Village to learn female celebrities every other day. This way, Han Ze had a lot more time. There was a vegetable field of more than an acre behind the yard, and the vegetable field was planted piece by piece. The seasonal vegetables are neatly arranged, and one can tell at a glance that the family is very diligent, and there is not even a grass in the field.
This is the season for planting summer vegetables, and Ge Hongbu is digging pits to plant pumpkins.
Han Ze went up to have a look, and there were quite a lot of varieties, including wax gourd seeds, loofah seeds, and cucumber seeds (now called pickled cucumbers). He smiled and asked, "Is there any watermelon?"
Ge Hongbu raised his head and saw his man standing behind her, he felt a little nervous subconsciously, strange to say, these days the man's temper has improved, but when facing him, she became reserved instead, luckily the man didn't Concerned, she shook her head and said carefully, "I've never heard of watermelon."
Han Ze nodded, and stood for a while, and found Ge Hongbu standing there with his waist bowed. He was a little helpless, and said, "You should be busy."
then left.
Seeing him leaving, Ge Hongbu heaved a sigh of relief.
Han Ze went to the flower market in the town, the flower market was very lively, he walked slowly, his eyes searched around, and when he came across a suitable flower seedling, he bought it. Halfway through the flower market, he could not finish the flower seedlings he bought. He turned around and bought a bamboo basket, and put the flower seedlings in the bamboo frame. After visiting the flower market, he already carried a large basket of flower seedlings and flower seeds in his hand.
Back home, Han Maode looked at the things in his bamboo basket, frowned and said, "Where did you dig the grass roots?"
Han Ze glanced at him with a smile: "What grass roots? This is a flower seedling I bought, and it cost me dozens of taels of silver."
Han Maode stared: "How many taels of silver do you need for this kind of grass? You prodigal bastard, I thought you had changed for the better, but as soon as you finished speaking, you started doing it again."
Even if the family has money, that’s not what makes them so. Besides, they are not very rich, but they live better than ordinary farmers and have more land. Moreover, the grandson is now studying in the town. The son is so lavish and doesn’t know how to save, so he has lost all the money in the family. , In the future, Shubo will participate in scientific examinations, but he can't make up money, so he won't be caught blind.
Han Ze rubbed his nose and explained helplessly: "Father, I use these flower seedlings, and I still expect them to make money."
Han Maode: "I've planted it all my life, but I don't know what that grass is worth. Don't you be deceived?"
Han Ze: "Father, do you think I'm a fool?"
Han Maode snorted from the tip of his nose: "Aren't you a fool, if you are not stupid, you can be fooled by Han Xingwang and his son?"
Han Ze suddenly wrinkled into a bitter face: "Father, this episode has long passed, can we not mention it?"
Han Maode glared at him again, this kid has not been so irritable these days, otherwise he wouldn't bother to talk about him.
Han Ze said again: "Father, I decided to go to the town to buy flower seedlings and plant them after much consideration."
Han Maode looked at him, saw his serious expression, frowned and asked, "Why do you plan to plant flowers?"
Han Ze smiled and said, "Father, when I was studying in the town, a classmate's family was a merchant in the town, and I accidentally heard him say that a pot of orchids at home cost twenty taels of silver."
Han Maode sucked on the cigarette holder in his mouth: "Are you serious?"
Han Ze looked at him: "What did I lie to you for? And the pot of orchids worth twenty taels of silver is only second-rate. If it is a top-quality orchid, you may not be able to buy it for hundreds of taels of silver."
Han Maode took a deep breath: "That thing can't be eaten or drunk, so it's so precious?"
Han Ze squatted down and carefully distributed the flower seedlings: "Those dignitaries in the city, powerful and rich, have no shortage of food and drink. What they pursue is different from us. In our eyes, these flowers are worth nothing. Some precious flowers in their hearts are hard to buy.”
Han Maode also squatted down. At this time, looking at the basket of grass roots his son bought back, he felt that it was not a basket of grass roots, but shining gold. He frowned and asked, "This flower is so precious, would you know how to grow it?"
Han Ze took out a book from his pocket and showed it to his father: "Look, what is this?"
Han Maode was also illiterate, so of course he didn't know what it was, so he asked in a daze, "What?"
Han Ze said solemnly: "This is a book that teaches how to grow flowers. I found this book by accident. After reading it, I have to burn it."
Han Maode snatched the book: "Why burn it? This is money."
Han Ze snatched the book back again, and explained earnestly: "Father, I have memorized all of this book. How to grow flowers is all in my mind. I burned the book to prevent others from stealing the book. I also learned how to grow flowers. Wouldn't the flowers I planted be rare by then?"
Han Maode thought about the same thing, and his son was thoughtful, and hurriedly said: "Then burn the book quickly."
Han Ze smiled, and burned the book in front of Han Maode. He didn't feel bad at all, because it was the "Three Character Classic" that he copied in his spare time. The old man was illiterate, and he said he was teaching people Books on how to grow flowers are not just books that teach people how to grow flowers.
Han Maode didn't know about Han Ze's little trouble. He was relieved to see his son burn the book, and then asked worriedly, "Can you really grow flowers as taught in the book?"
Han Ze lowered his head: "Father, if you don't want to grow any flowers, these flower seedlings have been bought back, and it is impossible for them to return them. I have to try it. If it doesn't work this time, I won't bother anymore."
Han Maode sighed and could only agree.
Han Ze asked Ge Hongbu to set aside some land for him to plant flowers for him. Although Ge Hongbu was puzzled, he didn't ask him. Han Ze didn't explain to her. After lunch, he took a basket of flower seeds and went to the vegetable garden. Han Maode was a little worried and followed him to watch.
Han Ze glanced at him: "If Dad is fine, help me fetch two buckets of water."
Thinking of the flower, that is the white silver, Han Maode didn't say anything, and ran to carry water. He is not yet fifty years old, and he is in good health. Carrying water is not enough for him, as long as The son can grow flowers, let alone ask him to carry water for a day, even if he carries water every day, he can still carry it.
Han Ze looked at his back, shook his head with a smile, he didn't intend to take the imperial examination, he couldn't study in the original body, he couldn't come here, he just took the examination of scholar, examiner, and Jinshi all the way. Fortunately, my son has a talent for reading.
Although the family has land, it is obviously difficult in this era to expect to grow rich by farming, and the family land is not very large. He considered for a long time and decided that planting flowers is more suitable for his current situation. Although he is not very good at growing flowers, the cultivation nutrient solution in the system is quite cheap. One point can buy a large bottle, which can be used for a long time. With the cultivation nutrient solution, He doesn't have to worry, he can't grow precious flowers.
One of the father and son carried water, and the other dug a hole to plant. People in the village passed by their vegetable garden and asked curiously. Han Ze didn't hide it. He directly said that he was planting flowers, and the flowers he planted were sold. The villagers curled their lips after hearing his words. After all, they are small landlords with a lot of land in their families. They grow flowers instead of crops, and they are not afraid of wasting land.
In less than a day, the news of Han Ze's plan to plant flowers and sell them spread all over the village, and everyone felt that the Han family boy was crazy about money, daydreaming, and wanted to sell money by planting flowers. If you can buy money by planting flowers, they have planted them all their lives, why don't they know?
Liu Juhua also heard about this, she was extremely angry, and immediately said with hatred: "I would rather spoil the land than rent it to our family, what crime did I do to give birth to such a supercilious look?" Wolf out?"
Han Xingwang frowned: "Do you want to ask Han Ze? Is their family too busy? If they are really too busy, it is the same to rent the land to us for planting. We have a lot of families, so we are not afraid of being too busy."
Liu Juhua looked at him: "How about I ask?"
Han Xingwang nodded: "You are Han Zeniang, you should care about what he did that shouldn't be done, but Han Ze has already married a wife and had children, and he is old, so your attitude should not be bad, lest he feel ashamed He pays attention to his emotions when he speaks."
Liu Juhua frowned, and instead thought that Han Ze was no longer the Han Ze of the past, and could no longer treat him like usual, she sighed heavily: "Okay, I will pay attention."
Han Ze didn't expect that Liu Juhua would come to him after experiencing such things. He asked, "What do you want from me?"
Liu Chrysanthemum thought about it and asked, "I heard you are planting flowers?"
Han Ze hummed lightly.
Seeing his expressionless face, Liu Juhua was so angry that her teeth itched, but she still kept smiling: "Is there too much land to be busy? So you plan to plant some flowers for fun?"
Han Ze said: "No, I have a lot of land at home, so I can ask someone to help plant it. I grow flowers because I hope it will sell for money."
Liu Juhua frowned: "How can those flowers be sold for money? Isn't this nonsense? If your land can't be planted, you can rent it to our family to grow it. Isn't it a pity to waste the good land?"
Han Ze said: "It's just a bit of land, nothing can be ruined. Besides, even if the land is ruined, it's also my family. Besides, my father didn't say anything, so don't worry about it."
Liu Juhua once again felt Han Ze's indifference, she was impatient and helpless, just like Han Ze said, Han Maode didn't say anything, she is a married woman, what kind of mind is she? Thinking of this, he glanced at the calm Han Ze again. It seemed that he would not even want to rent Han Ze's land. His eyes darkened, he gritted his teeth, turned his head and left.
While the village was full of gossip, Han Ze still insisted on his great cause of planting flowers.
Han Shubo studies in the town and takes one day off every five days. It happened to be five days, and Han Ze drove an ox cart to the town to pick up his son. I met Han Chengming on the road, and I thought he came to pick up his two sons. Han Chengming saw Han Ze driving an ox cart, and hurriedly said, "Brother, wait for me. I will take your ox cart to town."
Han Ze glanced at his body: "Your body is too fat, you should move around more to lose weight." After speaking, he drove away in an ox cart.
Han Chengming kicked his foot angrily, and accidentally kicked it on a rock. He covered his foot and let out an ouch.
Han Ze raised his mouth slightly when he heard his cry.
