Chapter 110 Hawthorn Tree
Chapter 110 Hawthorn Tree
"Okay," the shopkeeper couldn't help but smile.
The servant helped Sumu move the grain seeds into the carriage. After thanking him, Sumu went to the open space and directly planted the various grain seeds in the carriage into the space.
Each seed was given a piece of land and planted neatly in the space.
Thinking about the beets in my space, I can make sugar to make candied haws. I wonder if there are any hawthorn trees for sale here.
Su Mu came to the shop where he bought the saplings last time and found that the black-hearted businessman across the street was gone?
"Miss Su is here? Are you going to buy saplings again?" The shopkeeper stepped forward immediately when he saw Su Mu coming.
"Do you have any hawthorn trees for sale?"
The shopkeeper slapped his thigh and said, "Miss Su, you came at the right time. There happens to be a hawthorn tree in the store. It's just that the tree is a little big, not a sapling, but it will bear fruit after a period of time."
"It's planted in the backyard. Miss Su, would you like to go take a look?"
"Okay, let's go take a look."
The backyard of this store is different from other backyards. Other backyards have many rooms and small yards, but this store has only two small rooms, and the rest of the yard is full of saplings, some of which have been packaged, and some are even being planted in the field.
"Miss Su, we also have a special field for growing fruit trees. We thought the yard couldn't be left empty, so we transplanted some saplings here so that the guests can see them with their own eyes."
"This is the hawthorn tree." The shopkeeper led Su Mu to the tree.
This hawthorn tree is not pruned too high, and the trunk is very thick. You can tell at a glance that it is a good sapling.
"Miss Su, this hawthorn tree has been pruned to prevent it from growing too tall and the fruits from being picked."
“Look, is this tree okay?”
Su Mu looked around the tree, but couldn't figure out what was going on. The leaves of the hawthorn tree had all fallen off, and the tree looked bare.
"Just this one." There was only one hawthorn tree in his store, so he couldn't pick one even if he wanted to.
"Okay, I'll get it out for you, miss."
The shopkeeper chatted as he moved, "This hawthorn tree is a good variety and will bear fruit next year.
This hawthorn tree bears more and more fruit as it gets older. If you plant it for ten years, it will bear an extremely large amount of fruit.”
"Can a hawthorn tree be grown for ten years?"
"Yes, Miss Su, you may not know that hawthorn trees bear fruit after two or three years, and the number of fruits they produce increases every year thereafter. A tree that is ten years old is in its peak fruit-bearing period."
The shopkeeper dug up the saplings and wrapped them carefully.
"I have been raising trees for 10 to 20 years. I know every type of seedling very well now. These seedlings are like my own children."
Su Mu could also feel that the shopkeeper really loved these trees. Every time he wrapped them, he wanted to protect the entire sapling to prevent it from being harmed.
"Shall I give the sapling to the girl?"
"Okay, thank you then."
"Boss, what happened to the store opposite yours?" Su Mu couldn't help his curiosity and wanted to know what happened to the black-hearted store owner.
The shopkeeper's grin widened. "His shop went bankrupt, he sold it, and he still owed a lot of debts."
That shop owner was going to have this day sooner or later. With his attitude, he's not even good to his customers.
He almost treated the customers who came to his store to buy things as his admirers, and felt that it was an honor for the customers to come to his store to buy things.
"There used to be a clerk in that shop, but later on the clerk couldn't stand him anymore, so he came and left without even asking for his wages."
No wonder I didn’t see the clerk last time I came. There was only one person in the whole store. It turns out he ran away.
"When Miss Su came last time, the shop assistant had left for a few days. In the past, we could still sell some goods with the help of the shop assistant, but now that the shop assistant has left, we have been unable to sell anything. We even bought a large number of saplings, and ended up closing the shop."
The shopkeeper was so happy that he flew up in the air. "Now I have bought that store. It is my branch now."
"Congratulations to the shopkeeper for opening another shop." Unexpectedly, the shop was finally bought by his rival. The black-hearted businessman must be even more angry.
“Hahahahahaha, he continued to ask for money and sell it at a low price, so I bought all the saplings, too.”
"What a blessing for the shopkeeper!"
She also wanted to take advantage of the situation and buy a shop.
"Miss Su's shop is much better than mine." said the shopkeeper modestly.
"Your shop is doing really well. And the chili sauce you just put on the shelves, I heard about the new product this morning, so I rushed over to grab it. I managed to get two bottles of chili sauce."
"The shopkeeper is very well-informed." I just took the things over and they have already been bought here.
"I want to buy food from your store, but if you don't know the news, you won't be able to get it. The chili sauce makes my whole body warm in this cold season."
When the shopkeeper talked about the Su family's food, he couldn't stop talking and his speech speed became faster.
"You actually have fresh vegetables for sale in winter."
Su Mu was wondering, fresh vegetables? What? The shop didn't sell any vegetables.
"That's it, green onions and white radishes." The shopkeeper reminded.
"Oh, so it's these two." Su Mu suddenly realized that onion is also a vegetable, but she subconsciously thought that onion is a condiment.
They all consider onions as a kind of vegetable.
"Miss Su, please put more vegetables in your shop. We all love to eat and buy them."
"Okay, I'll think about it."
Su Mu walked out of the fruit shop and was still thinking about this question: should he pay more attention to vegetables? Or should he open another shop?
"Mumu, Mumu?"
Su Mu came back to her senses and heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw that this was Jiang Xiaoman’s grocery store.
"Mumu, what's wrong with you? You didn't even respond when I called you half the sky."
Jiang Xiaoman just saw Su Mu walking by the door with her head slightly lowered, her chin supported by her hands, and a thoughtful look on her face. She hurried out and called her.
"Xiaoman!" Su Mu was surprised.
"Come in." Jiang Xiaoman pulled Su Mu's sleeve and walked into the shop.
"Come, drink some water, Mumu, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I was just thinking about something." He seemed to be lost in thought.
"I was worried that you might get hit by something by accident." Jiang Xiaoman brought a plate of pastries, "Mumu, try it and see how it tastes."
The surface of the pastry was a bit rough, and it was obvious that it was homemade. Su Mu tasted a piece. Although the taste was not amazing, it was still quite delicious, with just the right sweetness.
“It’s delicious and not greasy.”
Jiang Xiaoman smiled happily, "I knew I would do a good job!"
"Xiao Man, is you happy recently? Is there something good?"
"Yeah." Jiang Xiaoman nodded.
"I opened up an area ahead, did you see it, Mumu?"
"I saw it." There is a special place in the shop that sells toothbrushes, toothpaste, mung bean vermicelli, dried moss and other products.
"Mumu, the food in your house is so delicious!" Jiang Xiaoman started drooling just thinking about it.
"I also gave you a lot of chili sauce. Have you tried it? Is it to your taste?"
