Chapter 133 Planting Trees
Author: Zhong Lin
On the one hand, it's because Su Xiaomu doesn't have his contact information, and on the other hand, it's because she doesn't want to have much contact with him except for the wine business.
We were all in business, so she intuitively felt that Lou Qi was a very shrewd person, and he was so shrewd that it was difficult for others to like him.
Su Xiaomu spent the whole day thinking about trivial matters in her business, thinking about here and there. It wasn't until Gu Jingcheng came back in the afternoon and saw her sitting in the study that Su Xiaomu realized that she had been sitting here all afternoon.
When he first stood up, Su Xiaomu was really a little dazed.
"Gu Jingcheng, please invite Mr. Zhou to our house for dinner tomorrow."
Su Xiaomu looked at him and invited him with a smile.
"As your friend, Mr. Zhou has been in Fucheng for so long, and neither of us has officially invited him to dinner. This is not good. I happen to be free tomorrow, so we can make up for this meal."
Su Xiaomu suddenly remembered the extremely embarrassing scene when the three of them met last time.
At that time, I thought it didn't matter, but now that I think about it, I need to ask Zhou Lin for help... I should change to another inn. They say the food there is delicious, but she doesn't know anything about it.
Gu Jingcheng's smile froze at the corner of his mouth when Su Xiaomu said he wanted to treat Zhou Lin to dinner.
He frowned at first, then pursed his lips, and then nodded and agreed to her for a long time: "Okay, then we will come after school tomorrow."
Gu Jingcheng really felt strange. Why did Su Xiaomu suddenly invite Zhou Lin to dinner?
Obviously the two of them can't be said to be good friends.
When Gu Jingcheng took Zhou Lin back to the small courtyard, the sun had just turned west for a while.
When Gu Jingcheng went out today, he told Su Xiaomu that they would come back early, so Su Xiaomu and Aunt Zhao went to buy a lot of vegetables early in the morning.
Su Xiaomu cooked the food herself, and she planned to entertain Zhou Lin well.
There is no other way, who told her to ask others to do things now?
When Su Xiaomu was shopping for groceries today, she specifically asked Aunt Zhao if she wanted fresh tree seeds, where else could she go besides ordinary stores?
Aunt Zhao also said that she didn't know, but according to common sense, the rarest and most precious things are in official houses, so maybe the county magistrate would know.
Aunt Zhao's answer was of no reference to Su Xiaomu.
If she could take the official route in doing business, she wouldn't have to rack her brains to think about how to expand her industry.
Su Xiaomu cooked a lot of meals. She didn't know what Zhou Lin's taste was, but she knew that he loved to eat the food in his shop, especially meatloaf.
Now is the growing season of a kind of wild vegetable. Aunt Zhao said that this kind of wild vegetable is very delicious when used to make sauce or stir-fry meat, which is also a rare delicacy.
The cress growing by the river was very fresh and tender, so Su Xiaomu bought a lot and brought it back to make dumplings.
She fried several meatloaf with dried plums and vegetables in a row. Stir-fried pork with green pepper was indispensable. The first thing she put into the pot was fatty pork, and most of the subsequent dishes were fried with this lard.
"You guys came back just in time. I've almost finished cooking the last soup. Come and try the wine I brewed. I haven't even drunk it yet."
If Su Xiaomu hadn't taken into account the protection between men and women in this era, she would have definitely stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Lin's arm to entertain him.
Who understands?
This is her God of Wealth, and whether she will get rich in the future depends entirely on him.
"Madam Su... Madam Su, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your craftsmanship is still so good. I was standing outside the house just now, but I could smell the fragrance of your rice inside."
Zhou Lin was a little embarrassed when he first saw her, but when he thought that she was his brother's wife and his future sister-in-law, and there would be more opportunities for the two of them to meet in the future, he instantly stopped being embarrassed.
Furthermore, he was really greedy for Su Xiaomu's craftsmanship.
"I think the rice tastes delicious. I'll eat more later. Now let's try this wine. I brewed it myself. Can you guys try it and see if it tastes right? If you think there's anything wrong with it, be sure to tell me as soon as possible.
, I can also correct it."
Su Xiaomu had long made up her mind to follow the temptation and let Zhou Lin drink her wine first. If he thought the wine was good, she would then talk to him about the fruit trees.
So Su Xiaomu kept looking at Zhou Lin with shining eyes until he swallowed the wine and waited expectantly for him to ask her about the wine.
During this process, Su Xiaomu didn't notice Gu Jingcheng's increasingly ugly expression at all.
Especially when Gu Jingcheng discovered that from the time he walked in until now, Su Xiaomu hadn't even looked at him, and all of them were focused on Zhou Lin, he felt even more unhappy.
"Ms. Su!"
Zhou Lin didn't notice the change in his good brother's face at all. He was now shocked by the taste of this wine.
Zhou Lin picked up the wine glass and gently shook the red liquid inside: "Do you think you brewed this wine yourself? I wonder if Mrs. Su has ever thought about selling wine?"
After Zhou Lin said this, he suddenly remembered that Su Xiaomu was now opening a dessert shop. He immediately felt inappropriate and added: "Of course, I'm not saying that Mrs. Su's current dessert shop is not good, I just think that your wine-making skills are so good.
, wouldn’t it be a waste not to use it?”
"This is also a question I have been thinking about recently. I also want to make wine, but I am not very interested in ordinary fruit wine, so I wonder... Mr. Zhou, can you ask your father to find some rare fruit trees for me?"
Seeing that he could successfully cut into the topic, Su Xiaomu said: "I have already thought about the fruit trees I want. As long as Mr. Zhou agrees, in one month, Mr. Zhou may be able to drink new fruit wine."
"No wonder Madam Su invited me to your house for dinner today. It turns out that she has already made up her mind to ask my father for help. But it is not difficult. After finding the things, can Madam Su provide me with two hundred jars of wine for free every year?"
"Then except for the first year, you can't ask me for money for tree planting every year thereafter."
Businessmen never do business at a loss, not to mention that Zhou Lin opened his mouth with two hundred jars of wine.
"Deal!" Zhou Lin was surprised by Su Xiaomu's cheerfulness, so he didn't delay any more. "After dinner later, we can sign a contract, and I will fix one for my father when I get back."
"Of course I can rest assured that Mr. Zhou is doing things!"
After discussing business, Su Xiaomu put all the food on the table.
Gu Jingcheng watched the two of them talking about the details of their cooperation without saying a word until Zhou Lin finished the first bowl of rice and was holding the bowl to add more rice. He took Zhou Lin's arm and said, "Master said that dinner is not appropriate."
Eat too much, otherwise it will affect your study, a bowl is just right."
"When did Master say that? Why don't I remember that he said such a thing?"
Zhou Lin held the bowl and looked at Gu Jingcheng in confusion.
