Three days later, Dong Nuan arranged for someone to deliver a basket of loquats to Zou.
A basket full of fresh, golden loquats was placed there, exuding a refreshing fruity fragrance.
Dong Nuan thought it tasted good, so she tasted it before sending it away.
Ms. Zou has also been paying attention to this matter. She is chatty, but she is still quite sensitive about business management.
Moreover, the eldest sister kept reminding her that Dong Nuan had a different identity, so she must take it to heart.
As soon as the loquats were delivered, Mr. Zou tasted them first.
After tasting it, I was stunned.
The confidant maid thought that the fruit was not delicious, but after thinking about Dong Nuan's identity, the maid whispered: "No matter what, we must give face to the princess, even if the taste is not very good, we still have to find a way, right?"
,Mrs……"
After listening to the words of the maid, Mrs. Zou regained her thoughts and finished the rest in a big mouth. She didn't even spit out the skin and swallowed it alive.
For her, whose life has become increasingly sophisticated, she has not swallowed fruit peels so rudely for more than ten years.
Now she couldn't care about that, so she quickly took another one, and this time she didn't bother to peel it off, so she took another bite.
The flesh is soft and tender, and the taste is sweet, with only a slight sourness, but no astringency, and the taste effect is excellent.
The most important thing is that the juice was so abundant that Zou couldn't control it and the juice flowed all over his hands.
However, she didn't care and signaled to the maid next to her: "Try it, taste it."
They are all close friends, and Zou treats them really well.
Now that I have something good, I am naturally willing to share it with them.
She's not like other people's mistresses, who reward the people around them with trivial things and then make a big fuss.
The maid was doubtful and tasted one.
Then, everyone stopped confiscating it.
If Mrs. Zou hadn't thought about leaving some for her husband's family, they would have killed them all.
Even so, they didn't eat less.
At first, Zou didn't peel it, but later he became more particular and ate it after peeling it off.
It tastes really good!
Zou was attracted immediately.
Zou's family has been growing fruit trees for many years and is very familiar with the local loquat varieties.
Of course there are varieties with a sweeter taste, but they are not numerous.
The level of improvement and grafting is currently there, so the possibility of improvement is not high.
Basically, whatever varieties you find, you keep growing them.
There is some sweetness, but not much, more of it is sweet and sour.
In fact, the taste is not bad, but Yeju is located in the south and there are many types of fruits, so in comparison, loquat does not have many advantages. Most of the time, it is directly used for medicinal purposes.
Ms. Zou usually doesn’t even want to eat the sweet loquats from her own orchard.
But now that the winter is warm...
"That's great!" In the evening, Ms. Zou couldn't help but sigh to her husband Qiao Jun.
Qiao Jun showed off five or six times in one breath. If he hadn't eaten dinner and couldn't eat anymore, he would have wanted to show off again. When he heard his wife's sigh, he couldn't help but nodded along: "You can arrange it as you go.
, you can’t go to Hezhou or Duanzhou to line up, if there are no places, the sales may be better and the price will be higher.”
Dong Nuan's status as princess has been determined, so everyone will definitely be polite to her. Sometimes, within their ability, they will take care of her as much as possible, or even compliment her.
For the powerful, don't offend if you can. If you can please them, it will definitely be beneficial to your own family.
Of course, Zou has no excuse.
The two of them lamented the sweetness and deliciousness of the loquat fruits at home, and Dong Nuan had already picked a batch of them as employee benefits.
It wasn't distributed directly, but was included with today's lunch meal.
The lunch here in Dong Nuan can only be regarded as average. Of course, the treatment for those who came with her, those who are her servants and those who have signed a contract, must be different.
If you are only a long-term worker, then the standard of no less than two multi-grain steamed buns will be enough.
But today at noon, in addition to steamed buns, everyone can also receive two loquats.
The quantity is not large, just for everyone to have a taste.
Although there are many loquat trees in Lizhou, there are really few in the village. There are only two in Huiguang Village, and they are divided into two families.
If it does bear fruit, ordinary people cannot eat it, so now that the fruit is distributed, everyone is also cautious, either keeping it for their children or the elderly.
The fruit looks quite soft, and the elderly with bad teeth must be able to eat it.
But there were some greedy ones, so they bit one open on the spot, and then they lost control and bit open the second one too.
Of course, it is unknown whether these people will be punished when they go home at night.
Anyway, the welfare here in Dongnuan is in place, and I even had some with Hanjianglou for dinner.
"The fruit feels sweeter." Dong Nuan felt that the loquat fruits grown here seemed to be sweeter than those grown in Liangzhou.
Hanjianglou didn't feel too surprised by this, nodded and said: "Well, it probably has something to do with the lighting time, and the temperature also has an impact."
Hanjianglou doesn't have much experience in planting fruit trees, but more of what he heard from Dong Nuan.
However, he still understands things like light, water and soil.
Dong Nuan thinks it may have something to do with the soil quality or something.
Depending on the region, the final fruit must have a different taste.
Otherwise, why is there a saying that Huainan is called orange and Huaibei is called zhi?
Dong Nuan has been traveling between Huiguang Village and Fucheng lately.
There is no other way. Once the loquats are ripe, she will have more things to do.
This is the first year after all, it will be good if everyone gets used to it after the New Year.
The flowers in the flower field are always in bloom, and people are also needed in the orchard. There are many things to worry about during the winter.
Fortunately, the progress on the eternal flower wall is pretty good. Among the four people, there is a woman named Zhenniang, who has unique vision, good craftsmanship, and good ability.
Dong Nuan directly mentioned her as the team leader of the decoration team, and now she is the leader of the four people.
With a leader, at least they can have a decision-maker when things go wrong.
In fact, if you follow the drawings, there will be no problems under normal circumstances.
But after all, it is the first wall, and Dongnuan still has to keep an eye on it.
So, early the next morning, I got up before dawn on a warm winter day. I walked around the flower fields and orchards, and the loquats I picked were promptly sent to Zou's side.
Yesterday afternoon, Zou's side had already sent someone to deliver the news, saying that if it was loquats, just deliver them to her shop.
Dong Nuan left this matter to Jin Ye.
Jin Ye was a maid who was newly contracted by Dong Nuan from Yaxing in Fucheng. She had good abilities. After Dong Nuan found out about her, he asked Shi Zhu to take her with her for a while.
Now that she has become a disciple, Dong Nuan is also ready to hand over some big things to her to see how capable she is.
