Chapter 62 Something’s wrong with the pepper

Since meeting Fanjiao in the town, Zhao Yunlan has always been distracted when doing things. He goes to the town every day to visit, hoping to see Manager Sun again.

Li Mingyi saw that Zhao Yunlan was not in a state to calculate the accounts, so he asked: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you these days?"

Zhao Yunlan thought for several days but couldn't come up with any good solution, so she had no choice but to ask Li Mingyi: "Do you still remember the flowers on Steward Sun's oxcart that day?"

Li Mingyi: "Well, sister-in-law, do you also want to grow flowers? I know there is a flower and bird collection in the county. You can go and see it when you have time. We can't afford those flowers from Manager Sun."

Zhao Yunlan: "No, I mean that pepper. I have read a book before, and there is a picture on it that shows what the pepper looks like, from a small seedling to growing up and bearing fruit. And it is said that the pepper is edible.

It just tastes more pungent than dogwood."

Li Mingyi's eyes moved: "Where did my sister-in-law read the book? What's its name?"

Zhao Yunlan was deceived for a while: "I just read it when I went to Fucheng last time. I don't remember the specific book."

Li Mingyi thought to himself, sister-in-law, is this good luck or bad luck? Every time I read a book, I can see something interesting. Let me ask about the title of the book! Hey, I just can’t remember it. Alas~

Zhao Yunlan continued: "I came to town these days just to see if I can wait for Manager Sun. If I can set up a relationship with him, when their peppers come out, we will shamelessly ask for some to try the taste.

perhaps……"

Li Mingyi: "Maybe it will be useful for our hot and sour noodles, but Manager Sun hasn't been here for several days."

Zhao Yunlan: "When does he usually come over?"

Li Mingyi: "I can't explain this clearly. Manager Sun's time is not fixed."

Zhao Yunlan sighed.

Li Mingyi: "Sister-in-law, you go back first, and I'll see if I can get close to Manager Sun."

Zhao Yunlan had no better choice but to return to Lijiacun first.

A few days later, Li Mingren still didn't wait for Manager Sun, so he thought of going to look for Manager Sun after closing time, but by chance, Manager Sun came to eat hot and sour noodles.

Li Mingyi brought the hot and sour noodles to Manager Sun and said, "Manager Sun hasn't been here to eat hot and sour noodles for several days."

Manager Sun: "Hey~ I've been very busy these days! There was something wrong with the last batch of flower seeds. Recently, the old lady has been asking about it every day."

When Li Mingyi heard this, he quickly inquired: "What's the problem?"

Manager Sun: "The leaves of the pepper trees that were brought as tribute last time have become spotted in the past few days. They don't look good. The gardeners in the house can't do anything about it. The old man is very distressed."

Li Mingyi thought for a while: "How about I recommend someone to Manager Sun."

Manager Sun asked doubtfully: "Brother Mingyi, are there any experts? It can be said that the gardeners in our mansion are all found from all over Jinzhou City."

Li Mingyi was a little worried for a moment, fearing that he had harmed his sister-in-law, so he just thought about forgetting it. Manager Sun continued: "Hey, please call that person over. Our old man is also a kind person. Even if he can't save the flower, he can't.

I won’t blame you.”

Li Mingyi breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "May I ask which noble family the steward Sun belongs to?"

Manager Sun looked around and whispered: "Our master is the prefect Liu of Jinzhou. When he was an official in the court, he was the prince's young master."

Li Mingyi was surprised. He didn't expect that this person was such a powerful person. He originally wanted to ask why this important person would come to this small place to cultivate Zhuangzi, but he didn't say anything again when he saw Steward Sun getting up and leaving.

After the shop closed in the afternoon, Li Mingyi explained to Wang Tiezhu and returned to Lijiacun.

Zhao Yunlan saw Li Mingyi coming back and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Second brother, is there any news?"

Li Mingyi: "Sister-in-law, go in first and then talk."

Old Man Li watched Li Mingyi return home in the main room, and shouted happily: "Mingyi! You're back. Your sister-in-law has cooked some good dishes today. You should eat more at night. I have been busy losing weight recently."

When Li Mingren saw Li Mingyi come back, he was thinking that his eyes were a little tired and he went out to relax. He listened to his father's words and looked at Mingyi again, "With this physique, he is stronger than me."

Old Man Li glanced at Li Mingren and then said: "Boss, how are you studying every day? You couldn't pass the quiz that Yun Lan gave you. Hey~ you eat so much every day. It's useless to study and work."

Neither can my son."

Li Mingren roared in his heart, why is it always me who gets hurt?

Li Mingyi couldn't help but want to laugh, but Zhao Yunlan was not surprised and asked anxiously: "Is there any news about Fanjiao?"

Li Mingyi: "Well! Sister-in-law, this..."

Zhao Yunlan: "If you have anything, just tell me."

"Sister-in-law, I may have tricked you. There was something wrong with their peppers, and they said even the gardeners in the house couldn't do anything about it. I said you knew how to grow those peppers, but Manager Sun asked you to go to that farm.

"

Zhao Yunlan was thinking: I have seen this kind of pepper planting before, but I have never planted it myself.

"Well, let me go and take a look first!" Zhao Yunlan said.

Li Mingyi: "Well, my sister-in-law, Manager Sun, said that their old man is a very nice person. He was a young master before, and his master is the prefect of Jinzhou City. Brother, what is the official position of this young master?"

Li Mingren was surprised and said: "Such a powerful person has come to this small Qingshui Town. This young master is also a teacher who assists the prince in his studies, and his official position is lower than that of the prince's tutor!"

Zhao Yunlan thought to herself that if she continued to pass the exam in the future, it would be enough if she could ask this young master to give advice and guidance to Li Mingren.

Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan had a good rapport at the moment, but he didn't dare to expect it. After all, at this level, he was too embarrassed to show his shame. At least he had to be a scholar and enter this school before he could be shameless enough to ask for advice.

Li Mingren continued to tell Zhao Yunlan: "I heard from Master Xuetang that the magistrate of Jinzhou City was transferred last year. He is an honest and upright official. He also recommended us as the magistrate of Xihe County."

Zhao Yunlan nodded understandingly. After coming here for so long, he has never encountered any bullying of the people in the town or county. The people here are simple and the life is very comfortable.

Zhao Yunlan turned to Li Mingyi and asked: "Did Manager Sun say when he would go?"

Li Mingyi: "I didn't say, but I think the sooner the better. Let's go tomorrow! Tomorrow, my sister-in-law will go to the shop and wait. I will ask Manager Sun first, and then I will tell my sister-in-law."

Li Mingren said from the side: "Then I will go together tomorrow."

Zhao Yunlan: "Don't you still have to study at home? There's no need to go. I'll do it by myself tomorrow."

Li Mingren: "I just want to go to town tomorrow to buy pen and ink."

Zhao Yunlan stopped talking and had no choice but to agree to go with Li Mingren.

Li Mingren smiled at Old Man Li: "Dad, let's go drive the cattle tomorrow."

Old Man Li gave Li Mingren a roll of his eyes: "Huh~ I just think about good things every day."

Li Mingren could only shut his mouth silently.

Xiaobao was led into the house by Li Mingmei and said cutely: "Daddy, what good things are you thinking of again?"

The whole room burst into laughter.
