Chapter 317 Sweet
When Ye Changyan turned around and was about to help Mr. Cai, he saw Xing Wang staring at him expectantly.
"I hope you will go with them."
Xingwang was carrying his large wicker basket and caught up with the group of children in front in just a few steps.
Yang Lin led the way enthusiastically, and Ye Changyan then supported Mr. Cai and followed closely behind. The other brothers and sisters-in-law walked forward while looking around.
Lu Ge'ang was walking at the back, holding his two-year-old son Lu Yuanxiang, and walking in front of the father and son was Lu Ge'ang's wife Li, who was pregnant, and her personal maid.
It was only about a month before Li gave birth. Originally, Lu Ge'ang wanted her to rest at home, but the doctor said that Li was much better in all aspects this time than when she gave birth to Lu Yuanxiang, so he asked her to move more, which would help with the delivery. Li liked to eat strawberries, and since she could eat fresh strawberries in March, she also wanted to go out for a walk.
"Chang Yan, we have long heard that you have set up an experimental field on the farm. In the cold winter, you brought so many fresh vegetables to our brothers' homes. At that time, your sister-in-law and I found it strange that the vegetables were not frozen to death in such a cold weather. Are those rows of low-walled houses in front of us your experimental field?"
Ji Yunting held his babbling little son Dong'er in his arms, looking curiously at the rows of greenhouses in the distance while asking Ye Changyan.
"Third Senior Brother, that's right, the rows of low-walled houses in front are the experimental sites that my teacher, sixth senior brother and I jointly set up."
"Huh? Teacher, you also bought shares?"
Zhu Yuchun was surprised and asked Mr. Cai in disbelief.
"Hahaha, I didn't spend a penny as your teacher. I bought shares with the land on this farm."
"Then how much shares did you buy, Jingcheng?"
Zhao Mubai looked at Liang Jingcheng who was walking beside him and asked curiously.
"Second Senior Brother, the teacher invested in the farmland, Chang Yan invested in the initial investment and the technology of the greenhouse, and I invested in four gold ingots. The greenhouses in the back row and the new yard next to Manager Yang's yard were all built with my investment. The teacher, Chang Yan and I each own 30% of the shares."
"Then there is still 10% of the share left, right? How about I offer two gold bars to buy the remaining 10%?"
Lu Geang, who was walking at the back, heard it clearly. He thought about the fresh vegetables he ate in the cold winter, and the perfumes and candies made by his junior fellow apprentice. These were all seemingly insignificant big businesses, so he became interested in this experimental site.
"No, I'll give you two gold ingots, and the remaining 10% will be mine. Lao Wu, your family is big and powerful, so you can afford this little share, right?"
Wang Xinkuan, who was used to arguing with Lu Geang, also saw the prospects of this experimental site and started to compete for it.
"Fourth brother, you are being unreasonable. My family is rich and powerful? Can it be as rich and powerful as yours? There should at least be a first come first served principle!"
"Do you understand the importance of respecting elders?"
"I am three years older than you!"
"What did you call me just now? Huh? In the sect, I am your fourth brother."
……
It was rare for Ye Changyan to hear these two senior brothers arguing, so he supported Mr. Cai and listened attentively, with a smile on his face all the time.
"Fourth Brother, your sister-in-law is still helping you with your lifelong event, so don't argue with me. I'll pay two gold ingots, and I'll give the ten percent share to you, Senior Brother."
Hearing Zhao Mubai interrupt, Liang Jingcheng finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Senior brothers, you don't have to fight for this. Chang Yan had already decided that the remaining 10% share was for subsequent investment and as a source of income for the managers and helpers on the farm."
Hearing Liang Jingcheng say this, several brothers and sisters-in-law were a little surprised. This 10% share was given to the manager and helpers. This junior brother was really generous. This was the first time they heard of such a distribution method.
At this time, a group of people arrived outside the gate of the farmyard. Yang Lin warmly invited everyone to sit in the yard. Yang Lin's mother and his wife Xue Niang were busy cleaning up the freshly slaughtered chickens and ducks in the yard. Seeing that the host had arrived, they hurried out to greet them.
"Fifth sister-in-law, you are pregnant, so please go sit in the yard for a while. The teacher is in high spirits and plans to pick some strawberries to taste. Brothers and sisters-in-law, you can decide for yourselves whether to take a rest first or go to the greenhouse to pick strawberries together."
Except for Lu Ge'ang's wife Li and her personal maid who entered the yard, everyone else followed Ye Changyan and Mr. Cai towards the greenhouse.
Yang Lin took the lead, ran to the front, and lifted the curtain of the greenhouse where strawberries were grown. Master Cai and his disciples followed in.
"Wow! It's really warm in here! I have to take off this robe."
As soon as I entered the greenhouse, I heard Zhu Yuchun's exclamation, and everyone else also took off their outer robes.
"Wow! Are all these green things strawberries?"
Several people uttered this sigh, and then the adults saw the children carrying baskets and wandering around the strawberry field. Each of them looked like a harlequin cat, with their mouths full of strawberry juice and pulp. For a moment, they did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Furong, you are a girl, don't be so naughty."
"I know, mother!"
Hearing He scolding her, Ji Furong agreed, but continued to squat down with her basket to pick strawberries.
Mr. Cai came to the strawberry field and looked at the bright red ripe strawberries hanging under the strawberry seedlings. The joy on his face was beyond words.
Old Cai hunched over, reached out to pick a bright red strawberry that was not much smaller than an egg, and looked at Ye Changyan with joy.
"Sanlang, these are the strawberries that our master and I planted that day. I didn't expect them to grow so well."
Seeing Mr. Cai looking at him excitedly, Ye Changyan nodded to Mr. Cai with joy.
"Teacher, please try this strawberry that you planted and picked yourself."
A group of people in the greenhouse all turned their eyes to the strawberry in Mr. Cai's hand. They saw Mr. Cai put the strawberry into his mouth, which had few teeth left, and took a bite. The juice flowed down from the bitten place.
"Fragrant! Sweet!"
Mr. Cai smiled like a child, and couldn't help but praise the strawberry without caring about the juice flowing.
An old person in the family is like a treasure. When everyone present saw Mr. Cai’s happy look, they couldn’t help but laugh along with him.
"Everyone, stop staring at an old man like me. If you want to eat something, just pick it yourself!"
