Chapter 303 [Pear fragrance time]
The pears in Huaifeng Mansion are in the ripe season. In the pear orchard covered with purple trunks beside the road, there are round goose-yellow pears hidden in the green leaves, which are really beautiful.
The people set up special pear stools, and the whole family, old and young, went to battle, picked the pears one by one, put them in baskets and transported them home.
The pears here are big and delicious, with thick and juicy skins, and they are durable for storage and are not afraid of transportation. They have always been the top products sold by Huaifeng Prefecture. Transship and sell elsewhere.
Of course, in this process, the price of Yali depends on the distance, and it is not uncommon for the price to increase several times. For people from other places, this is the blessing of Huaifeng Prefecture's pears that can withstand transportation. If it is the legendary crisp pears, it is really priceless, and only wealthy families can enjoy it at a high price.
People from all over the world often spend money or use rice silk at home to exchange for a few, as a good gift for visiting relatives and friends. There are also those who are hungry, and buy one or two for the whole family to share. Or if a child has a bad cough, the family will buy one, add a few grains of rock sugar that they are not willing to take out on weekdays, and boil water for the child, as a folk remedy with significant curative effect.
It's just that this year, due to the impact of wars in various places, there are fewer businessmen coming and going.
However, there are still many local farmers on the street carrying burdens, temporarily acting as businessmen, and selling to passers-by.
"Guests, please bring two pears. Homegrown ones are much cheaper than other places. If you come to Huaifeng Mansion this season, it would be a bit of a loss if you don't buy some pears to take home."
This is not bad, as long as people who come to Huaifeng mansion meet the pear ripening season, after knowing the price, they will often buy a bunch of pears first, then carry a bag on their backs, and go home to share with their parents, wives and children. They will all feel that they have made a lot of money.
Fang Chang heard the words and said with a smile: "Brother, how do you sell these pears?"
He came and went to haggle twice, and he bought dozens of them and put them in the package. The duck pears here are really good, and they are very good for snacks.
Walking along the main road not far away, Fang Chang suddenly found that there was a lot of voices in front of the house that said "Liu's Mansion" on the plaque in front of the door not far away.
Many craftsmen and porters were busy, carrying various tools and things in and out.
Some of them moved things outside, some moved things in, and some set up shelves and were about to take down the plaque at the gate.
Fang Chang found a local at random and asked:
"This little brother invited me, what happened to the mansion in front?"
The person who was stopped was not very old, and the fluff on his lips was still short. Hearing Fang Chang's question, he stopped, shook his head, took a breath, and replied politely:
"It's embarrassing to say. Originally, there was a scholar in Huaifeng Mansion, named Liu Xiuwen. He was full of talent. He was a senior high school in the imperial examination and bought this big house. As a result, he didn't live here much. He went to the Imperial Academy in the capital. study."
"But later I heard that because he followed the high officials and spoke out righteously, he hated his superiors and was dispatched to the far southern Xinjiang. His family also went south with him, and there was no news of him. Now Liu Xiucai entrusted someone to come back and take the The house is sold, and it is said that it is to subsidize the family in the south."
"A wealthy businessman took over this place, but the new owner doesn't like the interior furnishings very much. He plans to demolish and rebuild, and modify some illegal places inside. The wealthy businessman hired a large number of craftsmen from other places, brought here by car, and brought There are a lot of good materials, and I don’t know what will be changed inside.”
"Ah, this world."
After talking a lot, the young man looked at the house again, shook his head, said goodbye to Fang Chang briefly, and then went to busy with his own affairs.
Fang Chang said his thanks, and his thoughts moved a little.
He lightly pinched the fingers in his sleeve to calculate, and divined the current situation of Liu Xiuwen and his wife.
Fortunately, there is no secret to the secret, and this speculation went smoothly. The Liu Xiuwen and his wife are doing well in southern Xinjiang now, but they seem to be tired. This was as expected, with a fox demon with good mana to take care of them, and people from Jianghu to take care of them, those people shouldn't be in too much danger after arriving in southern Xinjiang.
According to these imprisoned and exiled people, with the kind of heart that takes responsibility for the world as their own responsibility, they will definitely try to make a difference in the development of the local area. Fang Chang looked at the house in front of him, and smiled in his heart, thinking that the huge sum of money sold in this house would not be used for eating and drinking, but would be used to benefit one party.
He turned and left, ignoring the rest of the matter.
I am quite familiar with Fang Chang of Huaifeng Mansion, and there is a good place here, although the name is very vulgar.
Welcome to live.
Fang Chang has been here twice before. There are several delicious dishes here. Among them, the crispy sweet-scented osmanthus duck is the most outstanding, as well as the Qingjiang laughing fish and yellow braised beef that are not often available. It takes a lot of effort on the cliff to taste the delicacy.
At least, his cooker needs to be upgraded.
When he came here for the first time, Chen Yuan was still working as a waiter here. Later, when Chen Yuan went out to travel around the world to pursue his dream, he changed people here. Now when he comes again, the boys in Yuelaiju have changed again. Unseen faces.
Fang Chang found a corner seat like a regular customer, ordered a few dishes and a plate of cakes, and didn't order any drinks in the store, but asked for two glasses, and poured several kinds of wine in the gourd alternately.
A few people were gathering at the banquet to meet, but they were locals from Huaifeng Mansion, and a few friends who came from other places to buy pears, and they hadn't seen each other for more than a year.
"...In other words, Uncle Zhang has left?"
"Yes." The man from Huaifeng Fucheng said, "It was in spring, when the pear trees were just blooming, and they survived the winter, but they didn't make it to this time."
"It can be regarded as a relief." The oldest man sighed, "It is also hard for his children. I still remember that when we were young, when we were living in Huaifeng Mansion, Uncle Zhang took care of everyone. After a while After dinner, let's buy some gifts, and then, like every year, visit his home."
"Of course." Everyone agreed, "I go every year, and this year we can't stop without Uncle Zhang."
The elder continued to ask the native of Huaifeng Mansion: "By the way, in front of the city, let me ask you, is the story in the legend true? The matter of those sons and daughters of Uncle Zhang's family changing his life, we Go, but I couldn’t find out, have you heard the wind again this year?”
Last night, I told my daughter a story before preparing to code, but I fell asleep after telling myself,,,, continue to work overtime today. . .
