After returning to the town, Dong Nuan stayed for two days and discussed with Dong Wu and others about the feasibility and aesthetics of hanging tassels on wooden hairpins.
Dong Wu and the others had already prepared. Even if Dong Nuan didn't come back this time, they would still write a letter to discuss it with Dong Nuan.
Now that the winter warmth is back, it’s a lot more convenient.
So, after trying it for a while, they found that color matching is very important.
After all, wood has different textures and colors. Peach wood hairpins have good meanings, beautiful textures and bright colors.
Beech is not bad either, but the materials of the two woods are different in color, so the colors of the tassels they match need to be compared to know which one looks better.
Dong Nuan and Dong Wu studied for two days, and after matching several suitable tassel colors, they got up and returned to the county town.
Now that it has entered June, ripe fruits are starting to arrive in the orchards one after another. Dongnuan needs to go back to find a shop and get some fruits.
In fact, I have already started to look at the store Dongnuan, and now I just go back to make sure.
I still rent a shop because it is the cheapest.
The location is average, and the good shops have been occupied for many years, so under normal circumstances they cannot be taken over, unless there are some special means.
It's just a fruit shop, and Dong Nuan doesn't want to be a villain and take over something by force.
It took half a month to select the shop, decorate it simply, open it, and start serving fruits.
The main reason is that transporting the fruits to the shop is troublesome.
One is limited by means of transportation, and the other is the method of preservation.
Nowadays, not every road is easy to walk, especially the road from Zhuangzi. It is really bumpy. If the fruit is not protected well, I don’t know what kind of bumps this road will get.
Therefore, storage and transportation are all problems.
Fortunately, half a month later, the shop officially opened.
After Gou Qingyun heard about it, she came over specially.
The fruit trees in the Dongnuan Orchard have been modified and improved by her original power, and the fruits they produce are naturally sweet and delicious.
And the fruits are generally relatively large.
What comes down now are spring peaches, loquats, bayberries, small cherry cherries and early apricots.
Of course, some plums are already ripening, and some peaches are also ripening.
Dayue people love peaches, so there are many types of peaches. In orchards with warm winters, peach trees are the most planted, and there are various varieties.
Of course, this is also because this kind of fruit is very easy to sell when made into preserved peaches, so it is often grown in warm winters.
Fruits are difficult to transport, so you have to think of ways to keep them warm in the winter, including various types of soft grass to protect the fruits, and then have Shi Qing make two trips a morning to deliver them to the store.
I won’t give it away in the afternoon because I’m afraid it won’t be sold out and it won’t be good if I leave it for a day.
For fruits that are difficult to store, Dong Nuan has built a small workshop directly at Zhuangzi, which can make fresh fruits and dried fruits. In short, use them in various ways and don't waste them.
Dongnuan was busy until the end of June, when Hanjianglou returned from school in the county.
On the day Hanjianglou returned, the fruit shop was closed for the day.
Dong Nuan started shopping and preparing all kinds of things since the morning, so that he could eat and drink well when he came back from Hanjiang Tower.
Half a month ago, all kinds of meat sauces and dried meats were prepared. Dianthus was more proactive than Dong Nuan. When the time came, they didn't need Dong Nuan to remind them, they were ready.
"It's stewed, it's stewed."
"The fish is also steamed. This fish is really fat!"
…
The kitchen was already busy. Dong Nuan came over to check it out. After getting the information from the cooks, he nodded and took Shi Qing to the orchard in the backyard.
Because the fruit is delicious and fragrant, many people nearby are eager to eat it.
In addition to necessary preventive measures, Dong Nuan also left many people on guard duty at night.
Of course, someone had sneaked into the orchard before, but was caught by Dong Nuan. Dong Nuan just needed to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, so he directly sent the person to the government.
This wave of operations shocked people.
However, it is difficult to defend against villains, they need to defend more carefully.
Two days ago, the warm winter quietly spawned a group of thorns, which surrounded the orchard.
In order to make it easier to see the orchard, my second uncle was transferred here.
Dong Nuan was also afraid of internal problems, so he let one of his own go.
The second uncle performed well, and Dong Nuan still believes in him now.
Of course, if he betrays his trust, he will definitely never have any contact with her again.
I went over now to pick some fresh fruits and wait for Hanjianglou to come back to eat.
Dong Nuan didn't pick anything else. She walked around in a circle, said hello to her second uncle, and then picked a small basket of peaches and went back.
When I was about to leave, I noticed a piece of peach on a nearby tree, which was already ripe and turned red.
This is a batch of early spring peaches. They taste pretty good. If they are ripe, the flesh will be soft and rotten, and the storage period is particularly short.
It's like this on the tree now. There's no guarantee that when it's picked tomorrow, it won't be fully transported to the shop.
Looking at these, Dong Nuan thought for a while, turned around and called: "Second uncle."
Wu Huizheng was following Dong Nuan, but the distance was a bit far away. He said a few words from time to time. At this time, he was called and hurriedly followed a few steps: "Hey, here we are, the master's house."
Wu Hui didn't think there was anything wrong with calling his niece the master's family. She was the master's family in the first place.
If the money he receives on a monthly basis is not called the owner’s house, what is it called?
Moreover, almost everyone in Zhuangzi knows about his relationship with Dong Nuan, so there is no need to publicize it.
Therefore, calling the master makes you look more sensible.
"Some peaches on this tree are already ripe. You can pick them and divide them." Dong Nuan was quite satisfied with the stewards and long-term workers in the orchard, so after thinking about it, he motioned to them to pick and divide them.
According to the second uncle, everyone was very honest and did not do anything excessive. Even if they were drooling with greed, they never thought about eating secretly.
At most, whichever one was pecked by the bird was damaged, and everyone couldn't help but split it into two bites.
Of course, this situation is rare. One is that the orchards have good preventive measures, and the other is...
Nature is the deterrent of this bamboo spirit in winter warmth.
Don't want to die?
Eat the boss’s orchard?
Therefore, the long-term workers had very little to eat, and occasionally a few fish slipped through the net.
There are always some birds that are desperate for food.
Dongnuan also takes reality into consideration, so it will send out a wave of benefits.
When the second uncle heard this, he was a little surprised, but he quickly responded: "Okay, thank you, sir."
Knowing that Dong Nuan had his own intentions in making this arrangement, Wu Hui didn't ask any further questions and agreed honestly.
After Dong Nuan left, he hurriedly told the other stewards and long-term workers the good news.
Everyone did not dare to cheer loudly, so they trotted over and circled around the tree.
Dong Nuan doesn't care what happens next.
Because Hanjiang Tower is back!
This is the happiest thing today.
Dong Nuan was too busy this month and never went to the county school once. In the meantime, Dianthus went to deliver some food.
Now that I can see people, I’m not excited about the warm winter weather.
