Chapter 511 Green Corn

[Recite the Situ website silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]

Luo Xiao looked at Meng Lie, "Did you hear that? Big brother invested a lot in Xinyu back then."

"By the way, is Jiao Hongzhuo like you?"

Zhao Xinyu shook his head, "His health is better than mine. Grandpa wanted him to take the medicine at first, but he disliked the smell of Chinese medicine and stopped taking it after a few times."

Du Mengnan's almond-shaped eyes flickered a few times, "Zhao Xinyu, you see grandpa and the others are getting older, why don't you get some decoction for grandpa and the others to soak too."

Zhao Xinyu smiled bitterly and said, "This recipe is only useful for children. It's not of much use to you, not to mention grandpa and the others. Grandpa and the others have taken royal jelly and their bodies are immune to all diseases."

"Zhao Xinyu, you have also seen the reaction of people on the Internet. Don't you think of ways to transport vegetables and fruits from the village?"

Luo Xiao nodded, "I heard that people in the village are desperate. There are so many pickles and tomato sauce brewed, and the villagers are worried about where to sell them."

Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "Don't worry, the national market is too big. We can see a lot in the village, but it's really nothing in the market."

"These grapes are about to mature. Do you plan to brew all the grapes into Purple Emperor?"

Zhao Xinyu shook his head, "Mengmeng, can't you tell by now that there are people working behind the scenes to deliberately delay the construction period? They just want everything we plant to rot in the ground, just in these two months. How many construction units have been changed, even the person in charge of the department has been replaced twice, but what is the situation now? The construction is still as slow as an ox. Since they are willing, let's accompany them. I would like to see how much energy they consume. when."

"So that's it. If that's the case, they really have to miscalculate. Although your vegetables are damaged, it's not big, but they have to pay workers' wages every day, and they also face fines for delaying the construction period. , they will really suffer this time.”

Zhao Xinyu chuckled, "I can fight with them, but I don't know if they can fight to the end. It's just that our village is too small. If we brew Purple Emperor, it's hard to say how much space will be left."

"If anyone plots against you, they will really suffer a big loss."

Zhao Xinyu laughed and looked at the time. "The corn should be ready to eat. I'll go out and take a look."

Because the road outside the Purple Bamboo Forest was cut off, there were no people who came here every day to worship the Eighteen Scholars. Instead, this area became a gathering place for green wolves, tigers, and lions.

When Zhao Xinyu came out, he looked like the king of beasts. Shadows of green wolves, tigers, and lions could be seen in an area of ​​one square kilometer.

Looking at the green wolves, lions, and tigers running around, Zhao Xinyu shook his head. At the current scale, it would be impossible for the drug lord to attack him, even with a long-distance sniper attack.

Although the road has been dug up, there are still a small number of people in Xihanling. They come here to see the movements of Xihanling, and secondly they take videos and upload photos to get some clicks.

If Zhao Xinyu traveled alone, he might not attract people's attention, but there were at least hundreds of green wolves around him, and such a large formation had never appeared before.

So he was discovered by the people just after he left Wenying Pavilion. You must know that Zhao Xinyu did not go out for a long time. Now that he suddenly went out, the people wanted to know what Zhao Xinyu was going to do, so they immediately followed him.

Beside the cornfield, several villagers were sitting with their heads down chatting. When they saw a group of green wolves approaching, the villagers were also surprised. However, when they saw Zhao Xinyu surrounded by wolves, several villagers immediately came over to greet him.

"Xinyu, you came just in time, we are still looking for Han Jun and the others."

Zhao Xinyu chuckled and looked at the corn field. The stems and leaves of the corn plants in the corn field had changed from dark green to light green, and the edges of the leaves had turned yellow.

"Xinyu, the corn at this time is not ready to be harvested. Now the leaves are starting to turn yellow. Is there something wrong with the corn?"

At this time, more than a dozen people gathered around. After hearing what the villagers said, they also turned their attention to Zhao Xinyu.

Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "Erhu, go and break some corns for me."

Erhu nodded, went straight into the ground and broke off a few corn stalks. Zhao Xinyu took one and tore off the outer skin. Erhu and the dozen or so people who gathered around couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

They saw that the corn in Zhao Xinyu's hand was not the light yellow or golden color they thought, but light cyan. The light cyan corn kernels were crystal clear, and people could taste a faint fragrance.

"Xinyu, why is this corn this color? Is there something wrong with it?"

Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "Erhu, this corn is of this color. This corn tastes great when cooked. Let's tell people later. Anyone who wants to eat can take some back and store the rest until the road is repaired." If it’s approved, we’ll sell it again.”

"By the way, everyone who meets you has a share. Get five sticks for each of them and let them take them back to have a taste."

When Zhao Xinyu said this, the dozen or so people who came with him became excited and hurried up to thank Zhao Xinyu.

Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "You're welcome, what you grow yourself is not worth anything."

"Erhu, go and get the corn stalks for me."

"Xinyu, what do you want with that thing?"

When Zhao Xinyu gnawed the corn stalks as sugar cane, not only the villagers, but also the people who came around were dumbfounded.

"Xinyu, how can you eat this thing?"

"How will you know if you don't eat?"

While talking, Zhao Xinyu broke off a section and handed it to a person next to him, "Try it, you can't eat this thing elsewhere."

The people were skeptical and gnawed off the outer skin, took a small bite, and were stunned after taking one bite. It was sweet, juicy, and had this unique fragrance.

The people looked at Zhao Xinyu in shock, "Why is this corn stalk sweeter than sugar cane?"

Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "This is an ancient variety. I will bring some corn stalks back for the children to try."

Zhao Xinyu came back with a big bag of corn, and the Internet became lively. People have always been paying attention to the vegetables and fruits in Xihanling, but they really don't pay much attention to the corn and potatoes grown in Xihanling.

Now someone has spread photos of corn and the news that corn stalks are sweeter than sugar cane, causing a sensation on the Internet.

Only now did people think of one thing, that is, no ordinary species are planted here in Xihanling. Even if ordinary species are planted, the ones that grow will be high-quality, and there is no need to consider the taste at all.

Although surprised, due to road problems, people can only complain and complain on the Internet, complaining that they cannot see the green corn with their own eyes and taste the corn stalks that are sweeter than sugar cane.

While complaining, people then thought that potatoes were also grown in Xihanling. Since the corn was so new, the potatoes must not be ordinary species.

The next day, Han Junxing hurriedly came to Wenying Pavilion, "Xinyu, I didn't expect that this corn is so delicious, and the villagers still want to eat it. I think this corn can be stored, you see..."

Zhao Xinyu shook his head, "You can eat whatever you want. If you don't want to eat what you grow yourself, let's do whatever we grow. If we eat corn, we will save other things."

"Han Jun, how is the progress of our project?"

"If everything goes well, all the rivers will be connected before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Xinyu, you see, I have forgotten the real business when I talk about corn. Now many shops are calling and want to order our pickled vegetables. You can see what price is right."

Zhao Xinyu's eyes flickered a few times, "Don't worry now, let's wait until we can sell it."

As soon as Zhao Xinyu said these words, not only Han Jun, but also Du Mengnan and Luo Xiao in the living room were stunned.

You must know that it has been more than two months since the pickles were first made. According to Zhao Xinyu, the pickles have long been edible, but now Zhao Xinyu said that he would wait until then, which made them a little confused.

"Han Jun, how big has the alfalfa grown?"

"It's 1.5 meters tall. If the road wasn't closed, there would definitely be a lot of people over there."

"Turn it over and replant it."

Han Jun was slightly startled, "Remember, a few northerners came here to see the alfalfa a few days ago, and they all decided to reserve all the alfalfa we grow."

Zhao Xinyu patted Han Jun on the shoulder, "Han Jun, we villagers can lack anything, but we cannot lack conscience. Alfalfa is not enough, at least not this year. According to the current progress, we can plant one crop and another." Take a look."

When Luo Xiao and others heard what Zhao Xinyu said, they couldn't help but feel moved. They knew that Zhao Xinyu would not do anything harmful to nature, but they didn't expect that Zhao Xinyu could say such a thing. This made them have a deeper understanding of the rural people living at the lowest level. There is a new understanding.

As time goes by, the grapes begin to mature, but the road construction is still far away. People are speechless about the construction parties, so those who are able to move go to the village to buy some. People who cannot pass through the muddy paths can only watch. Looking at the pictures and videos with excitement.

Xihanling did not say anything about selling grapes. Except for storage, the rest were all brewed into Purple Emperor.

"Zhao Xinyu, please store all the black grapes. People have been looking forward to black grapes since last year. We have also made a promise to allow more people to eat black grapes."

Zhao Xinyu smiled bitterly, "Mengmeng, we have very little storage space left now. We simply cannot store all the black grapes. The yield of potatoes is higher. I don't even know where to put them. People also know the situation this year. Try your best." , if possible, let’s try to store more.”

Du Mengnan sighed, "It would be a pity to brew Purple Emperor from such good black grapes."

"It's a pity that the quality of black grapes is much higher than purple grapes, and the wine produced must be stronger than Purple Emperor."

Zhao Xinyu's words made the whole family's eyes light up. Although the Purple Emperor has only been around for a few years, the current Purple Emperor has surpassed any kind of red wine and has become the well-deserved king of red wines.

This is why Zhao Xinyu keeps most of the Purple Emperor sold in China every year. If large quantities are sold in Europe, the European red wine industry will inevitably be affected.

Now Zhao Xinyu said that using black grapes to brew red wine would surpass purple grapes to brew Purple Emperor, which made them look forward to it.

"Zhao Xinyu, when will it be brewed?"

"I have already called Han Jun and the others. As soon as the black grapes mature, they will send the grapes over. Then we will be able to make wine. We should be able to drink wine made from black grapes during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Watermelon juice, cantaloupe juice, and melon juice should be almost ready."

Zhao Xinyu was slightly startled, then laughed, "If you didn't tell me, I would have really forgotten it. It's already ready. I'll go get some."

"Go quickly, what are you waiting for?"

Half an hour later, Zhao Xinyu came in from outside with two wine jars in his arms. As soon as he came in, he received two big eye rolls from Du Mengnan.

Zhao Xinyu chuckled and put down the wine jar, "It will take some time to filter. Watermelon juice and purple jade juice. I'll get the melon juice and black honey."

Before Zhao Xinyu could go out, Du Mengnan happily opened the watermelon juice. When the lid was removed, a fresh and unique fragrance filled the mouth of the jar. People felt that the living room became cooler under the fragrance, which surprised people. . One by one, they stood up and looked at the jar of watermelon juice, their eyes filled with heat.
