Chapter 21: If the peony can bloom

On the third day, Mu Qingchen and Jiang Huiying did the final count.

"Tomatoes, bitter gourd, water spinach, loofah, peas, green beans, eggplant, corn, seaweed, eggplant, and gourd, there are 11 kinds of vegetables in total, adding up to 200 catties. How should they be transported?"

Jiang Huiying raised the sack to go Throwing it on the shoulders, the mother and daughter stopped together: "No, it's too heavy!" And some vegetables are easily crushed.

"It's too troublesome to go up and down the mountain!" Mu Qingchen said, and began to circle around the short peak, and suddenly clapped his hands: "Yes, how about a lifting device?"

Mu Wanshen and Jiang Huiying were at a loss together.

Mu Qingchen explained enthusiastically: "Make a few gears, install iron cables, put one end on the top of the mountain, and connect the other end to the bottom of the mountain. As long as the weight exceeds a certain weight, the gears will rotate by themselves, thereby pulling the iron cables, and then moving down with the heavy objects. How is it? Is this method feasible?" The

two of them didn't quite understand Mu Qingchen's wild ideas, but they still chose to support her. Jiang Hui Ying Yun Qinggong went down the mountain and soon brought the things they needed to use. In the early morning, he said that the money for buying things will be returned after the vegetables are sold.

Jiang Huiying was unhappy. He had no words at all, but now he didn't say a word. After a while of silence, Mu Qingchen said that if he could not pay it back, he would treat it as a meal fee. He was not so strangers.

Busy until noon, Mu Qingchen made a semi-finished gear out of wood, but Jiang Huiying refused to let her continue, saying that he imitated himself.

The lunch was settled hastily, and the two of them were busy. When the sun lost its warmth at dusk, they fixed the prepared gears deeply in the ground. Jiang Hui greeted the iron rope and said it was ok.

Several baskets of vegetables descended along the iron cable, and Mu Qingchen went down the mountain along the iron cable route.

The road that the iron cable passes through is not easy to walk. There are many trees and deep pits and gravel. Jiang Huiying followed her and said, "It's not appropriate, the iron cable will hang down about 20 to 30 meters, and things will stagnate."

"Go back and do a few more. The second revision has broken the iron cable, and this road has to be repaired!"

While discussing, the two carefully crossed the road. Finally, when they encountered a steep rock slope, Jiang Huiying jumped off her back with light effort.

There was a wooden cart at the foot of the mountain, and just after the vegetables that had stumbled and stumbled, Xiaohei and Tanhan came down from the mountain road.

When the vegetables were delivered to the Pen, Ink, Paper and Inkstone shop, it happened to be sunset in the west of the mountain, the sky was as gorgeous as splashed with oranges, and Mr. Wei was arguing with people at the front of the shop.

As he got closer, he could vaguely hear the girl's sharp voice.

"It was agreed to come to pick it up today, why didn't anyone see it? Could it be that he framed us? Do you know who I am!"

Mr. Wei didn't want to say more, so he drove her away, thinking about selling vegetables, he did hear Mu Qingchen mention it However, he also made a plaque and an order board for the dish. He thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect it to attract people.

The maid said fiercely: "I'm from the eldest Miss of the Du family! This time, the eldest lady is in charge of buying the old lady's birthday. We made an appointment with Mu Qingchen to inspect the vegetables. At this time, if you say that there is no vegetables, don't you look down on the eldest lady and look down on Du Du? House?"

Old Wei's face sank, quite majestic: "You said this yourself!" The

maid silenced, and her temper came up for a while, and was about to teach him a lesson when someone said from a distance: "Grandpa Wei, I I'm here ." The maid

was originally displeased, but when she saw the car pulled by the man behind Mu Qingchen, she trotted over: "Are all the dishes here?" Mu Qingchen nodded: " There

are eleven kinds of dishes, you can check them."

After reading it outside, he was satisfied and ordered the accompanying strong man to carry it, and readily took out three taels of silver: "You don't need to look for it, you will be rewarded for doing a good job!"

While carrying it over there, the maid thoroughly explained: "I'll go back first and ask the young lady for instructions. , if the house is satisfied, I will buy your home for a long time." After

saying that, he said casually: "Is it a lot of trouble to transport these things? Why don't I bring someone to your place in person next time?"

Mu Qingchen smiled and said no, what's the matter Just looking for Mr. Wei, the store will not run here, and he also said about the order. If there is a need, write it on the paper. If it can be satisfied, please let someone know.

The maid is gone.

Seeing people walking away, Wei Lao pulled Mu Qingchen's arm into the room and closed the door.

"Where did you get the food?" he asked worriedly.

"I planted it myself."

"Don't look at how old I am. These vegetables are all grown in March and April. It is impossible to grow them now. Let's be honest!"

Mu Qingchen had no choice but to explain his ability to him. , Wei Laocai accepted the fact and calmed down, let Mu Qingchen open the door.

It was cold outside, and Jiang Huiying stood quietly with his chest folded, feeling quite left behind, and did not turn back when he heard the door open.

Just as Mu Qingchen was about to speak, Wei Laosan rushed over in two steps and whispered, "This matter... does he know?"

"Well,"

"Why don't you guard against someone!" Wei Lao was secretly anxious, worried that the person was A caring person who deliberately approached the princess.

Mu Qingchen and the man walked away chatting and laughing, Wei Lao stared at Jiang Huiying's back, turned around and called the carrier pigeon, quickly wrote a few words, and watched the carrier pigeon fly over the princess to the mountain with a fluttering of wings.

"Princess is very young and simple, I have to take good care of it!"

Mu Wanshen wrote the word "Nothing to do" on the low peak surrounded by mountains, and watched the pigeon fly away, waiting for about a stick of incense, her daughter and Jiang Hui Welcome back.

"Has anyone been seen?"

Mu Qingchen shook his head: "Jiang Hui is here, who dares to follow us? It's just that the servant girl from the Du residence wanted to get us under control, but I dismissed it. It's alright, don't worry!" Mother and

daughter The two were cooking together, Jiang Huiying sat in the hall to cut new gears, lay indifferently at the foot of the table, and returned from the outside with his head down, Xiao Hei seemed to have no interest in meat, and stared at the watermelon. Seeds are unpredictable.

...

The next day, Mu Qingchen got up early, and when he opened the door, he met Jiang Huiying who was about to knock on the door, and said hello in a good mood: "Good morning!"

Jiang Huiying: "..." The

two spent the whole morning rectifying the iron rope lifting device, and moved the position from yesterday to a place with more cliffs. Several new gears were fixed in the middle, and the iron rope was straight.

In the afternoon, vegetables were born, and in the middle, I encountered a squirrel's revenge, which was easily dismissed.

On the third day, the two went down the mountain and found that there was a new order in the pen, ink, paper and inkstone shop. Wei Lao explained that this was the order placed by the eldest lady of the Du family, and said that they would meet at noon.

It just so happened that Mu Qingchen and Jiang Hui welcomed them, so they went up the mountain to invite them in person.

Mu Qingchen looked at the order from beginning to end, and it said all the vegetables that were not available in March, and some fruits were sandwiched in it.

The two went to several stores in the morning to buy cloth, and just after noon arrived, Miss Du came with a few maids.

A group of people chose to eat at a nearby restaurant. Before the opening ceremony, Miss Du went to the main topic.

"The old lady is celebrating her birthday in March, there are many guests, the ingredients must be the best, and the dishes on the list are all written, each 50 kilograms, the tenth in early March"

Miss Du's words and deeds are resolute and resolute, and quickly put what she needs. After the allocation was done, I asked straight to the point: "I heard that Boss Mu's vegetables are all grown by themselves. It can be seen that there are some methods. I wonder if they can feed my peony?" The

accompanying maid brought a pot of flower branches. It only turned green at a few moments, and the new leaves were hidden in the leaf buds, and it was too late to stretch.

"If it blooms in March, it will be the best!" She paid attention to Mu Qingchen's demeanor and said, "If it blooms, I am willing to pay a big price!"

Mrs. Du likes rich peonies. It is the greatest consummation!

Mu Qingchen said: "I can make it bloom, but if it leaves the bad environment, it can only survive for half a day."

After all, it is now February, and the third month of the birthday is still early before the flowering period. Plants need light and temperature to grow, even if they are born , will not survive long.

Miss Du was very happy: "You keep it first, and I will pick it up in ten days!" Then she said lavishly: "In February, all the dishes in Du's house will come from you, and the deposit will pay you a tael first!" The

two sides negotiated and ended. Lunch.

Mu Qingchen smiled and said to Jiang Huiying, who was walking back with the flowerpot, "Miss Du is in a hurry to compete for favor."

After all, she was born to a brothel woman and grew up in a brothel.
