The Big Landlord

Taking Linglong back to the hotel where he stayed, he was about to pack up and rush back to Xiushuiwan. As he walked slowly, Wang Ben began to think about what to continue growing in the ground. The lack of knowledge about growing vegetables gave him a headache. I have been thinking about it for a long time, and now there is no Internet, and the news is quite blocked. If you want to choose the same vegetables that are more profitable, but not too boring, it is really hard to find.

"Hello sir!"

On the way, a young girl politely handed over a flyer and said very politely.

It must be some kind of bad hospital advertisement. Wang Ben didn't intend to ask for it, but the smile on the girl's face and her sincere attitude made him really embarrassed to refuse it. He took it and glanced at it casually. It was not a hospital advertisement, but a hotel lover. Promotion of festival activities.

Oh yes! If he planted a few acres of roses and sold them on Valentine's Day, they would definitely get a good price, and Wang Ben was instantly overjoyed.

He paused his steps to go home, turned around and headed straight to the flower and bird market. When he came to a flower market, he couldn't wait to ask, "Are there any rose seeds for sale?"

The flower market owner looked at him and asked suspiciously, "Do you want to plant roses?"

"Yes, how many acres of land I plan to plant, how many seeds do I need?" Wang Ben said truthfully.

"Haha! Another one who wants to use seeds to grow roses," the boss seemed to have expected it, and laughed loudly, "It's better not to use seeds to grow roses. Not to mention the slow growth, the survival rate is very low, and it will mutate. Generally, the method of planting rose seedlings, plugging or grafting is used.”

"Oh," Wang Ben suddenly realized that he didn't know anything about planting flowers. Thanks to the boss' kind reminder, it would be completely useless to buy a bunch of seeds and go back home.

The flower market owner sells rose seedlings and branches here. The price of branches is relatively low, and the survival rate is not as high as that of rose seedlings. Rose seedlings are divided into seedlings and large seedlings. I don't know, the boss suggested that he use the method of planting large seedlings, although it is a little more expensive, it is safer.

After some consultation, Wang Ben finally decided to order 8,000 large rose seedlings. The flower market owner does not have so many now, so he can only make an order first and wait for the delivery. This seedling is not cheap. It costs a full 40,000 yuan for 5 yuan a plant. Most people really can't afford to grow it. Wang Ben now has hundreds of thousands in his hands.

After solving the troubles of planting, he happily returned to Xiushuiwan, and lay lazily on the chair at home. Well, the atmosphere in the countryside is much more comfortable. This week's hotel life has made him very bored, as if he has returned to rebirth. When I was running around.

Linglong is also much more lively than in the city. She is wrapped thickly like a ball, which can't stop her inner enthusiasm at all, jumping here and there, very comfortable.

"Brother Ben, Linglong wants to eat roasted sweet potatoes," Linglong leaned over and said with a smile.

This girl is in a hurry to come back because she misses the coarse grains at home. It’s true that wild boars can’t eat fine bran. The big fish and meat in the city don’t like it, but she loves roasted sweet potatoes. With a small nose bridge, he smiled and said, "Little greedy cat, let's cook lunch and bake it for you by the way!"

Wang Ben didn’t grow sweet potatoes. That’s a lot of money per catty. One mu of land can easily produce thousands of catties of sweet potatoes. No one is stingy about this. There were two big challenges, and he couldn't eat them at all. He had to smash the cellars that he used to pile up.

Wash the rice and put it in the pot, add firewood to make a fire, choose two round sweet potatoes and throw them in the ashes to cover them. After simmering for ten minutes,

Flip it over again to make the fire ash at the bottom thicker, and then don't worry about it. After the meal, this most earthy and convenient roasted sweet potato can be eaten.

When the fragrant food came to the table, Linglong couldn't finish eating the small half bowl of rice, and his eyes were always looking into the stove, always thinking about the sweet potatoes in the stove.

"Let's come to the competition, whoever finishes the bowl of rice first will eat the big one in a while," Wang Ben blinked, picked up the bowl and started to eat quickly.

After eating two bites, she looked up at Linglong, the girl was digging rice into her mouth without saying a word, and it took a lot of effort to eat. Both cheeks were already rounded, and she continued to put it into her mouth with all her strength.

"Slow down," Wang Ben put two vegetables into her bowl and smiled proudly. In the past six months, he has gradually learned some tricks to coax children. Reasoning is not necessarily useful, you have to think about making children willing to accept it.

"Yeah!" Linglong finished eating the rice in the bowl, and before she could swallow it, she stretched out two tender little fingers to declare victory, her big eyes smiling like a crooked moon.

Use tongs to take out the ripe sweet potatoes from the stove, pat the ash on the top, after peeling the skin, the outer layer has been baked into a crispy pot, which is not so easy to stick to the fire ash, and it looks better in white.

The big one was given to Linglong, and Wang Ben picked up the small one, carefully tore the crispy skin on the outside, carefully lifted the potato flesh sticking to the skin with his teeth, and then threw it into the small plastic bucket for garbage. Until all the skins are almost gone, leaving only a little bit on the fingertips, and then start to taste it carefully.

It was only halfway through, and Linglong had already finished eating, looking at his hands eagerly, the small mouth and lips were covered in ashes, I don't know how much ashes went in, and the newly bought red down jacket was also covered with black. , the sweet potato skins were thrown all over the place, and the large chunks of meat were also thrown away, which is estimated to be a waste of half.

"Here," Wang Ben handed over the remaining half. He was not afraid to support Linglong. As the king of fruits and vegetables, sweet potato is better than durian. It is very helpful for digestion. It doesn't matter if you eat more.

"Brother Benzi is so nice!" Linglong Diandian ran over to catch it, called out sweetly, lifted her heels and kissed, and a small dusty lip print instantly appeared on Wang Ben's face.

Wang Ben didn't know whether to laugh or cry, wiped his face, shook his head and sighed, thinking that when he brought this little loli back from the train, she looked like a little fairy. Now it has only been half a year, and this girl has changed completely, except for her appearance. She looks like a doll, she has become a wild girl in the village.

"Little Linglong, do you like our village life?" Wang Ben asked with a smile while sweeping the sweet potato peels on the ground.

"I like it!" Linglong chewed the sweet potato in her mouth, spit out two words with certainty, her little head nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Wang Ben smiled lightly, maybe this girl, like him, has completely fallen in love with this casual rural life.
