Chapter 387 Strange Vegetable Seeds

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingyu was outraged and was about to step forward to argue when Bai Qinghuan gently raised her hand to stop him.

"The dog's barking is so annoying."

She smiled and said to Wen Zijin, "Young Master Wen, let's hurry, it's getting late."

"it is good"

Wen Zijin's eyes held a hint of a smile, and the two exchanged a simple smile, but to He Lingfei it was extremely jarring.

"shameless!"

She cursed angrily and couldn't control herself as she tried to pull Bai Qinghuan away.

On the way here, she told herself that she must not act impulsively in order not to return the money. As long as she pretended to be pitiful and Wen Zijin forgave her, she would still have a chance in the future.

She could have tolerated it if it were any other woman, but it was this one who ruined her plans!

Just as she was about to pounce on Bai Qinghuan, Wen Zijin reached out to pull her away, but Jue Ming kicked He Lingfei first.

"Ouch!"

He Lingfei fell to the ground and cried out in pain. She was not fully recovered to begin with, and after being kicked, she struggled twice but could not get up.

Surprisingly, this time she didn't shout or yell, nor did she curse at Jue Ming for attacking her. Instead, she pitifully reached out her hand to Wen Zijin:

"Young Master Wen, please lend me a hand."

"I...I'm in so much pain that I can't get up."

Wen Zijin glanced at her and got into the carriage first, followed by Yan Che, and then Jue Ming.

Bai Qingyu snorted coldly as he passed by her, then got into another carriage and gestured to Bai Qinghuan, who was still outside, urging her, "Hurry up, I'm starving!"

Bai Qinghuan saw him reach out to He Lingfei on the ground, but He's mother rushed over and pushed him away.

"Daughter! You really were here!"

He's mother ran over from the other end and quickly pulled He Lingfei up from the ground. She patted the dust off her and looked at Bai Qinghuan with hostility.

Hearing the noise, Wen Zijin leaned out of the carriage and said to Madam He, "Aunt He, remember to send the two hundred taels that the government is demanding within a month."

His expression was indifferent, but He's mother could sense that he was indeed different from before.

Previously, there was a hint of politeness mixed with distance; now it's coldness mixed with disgust.

"Miss Bai, please get in the carriage. Don't let irrelevant people spoil your mood."

When he was with Bai Qinghuan, he felt like he was bathed in a spring breeze. With his mother present, He Lingfei could only bite her lip tightly.

After the group left, He's mother slapped her on the back, "Trying to cause trouble for me again?! Just like your deadbeat father!"

He Lingfei glared at her defiantly. She just wanted to test Wen Zijin again. What was wrong with that?

She walked close to the wall, and He's mother caught up with her, supporting her and whispering, "Have you no shame?!"

"Why bother trying to be nice to someone who doesn't appreciate your kindness? Look at how gentle he is with that lady, he doesn't treat you like that at all!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and poked He Lingfei hard on the head, hoping to wake her up and prevent her from causing any more trouble.

If she causes any more trouble and has to pay compensation, she wouldn't be able to get away with it even if she sold herself.

He Lingfei got even angrier after hearing what she said, and simply turned her head away and refused to look at her.

When Wen Zijin and his group arrived at the restaurant, it was lunchtime and the place was packed.

Bai Qingyu saw that Wen Luozhi didn't even need an abacus; she just scribbled a few strange things on a piece of paper and quickly calculated the accounts.

He was engrossed in watching, when Yan Che nudged him with his elbow, then patted his chest proudly, "I can do this too."

Bai Qingyu was surprised. When Yan Che led him upstairs, he couldn't help but praise Wen Luozhi, "Luo'er knows all sorts of strange and wonderful things. She taught us so many things."

He mentioned a few things, and Bai Qingyu listened attentively, thinking they were all incredibly capable.

He used to think that his eldest brother Bai Qinghe was the most powerful, but now he realizes that there are always people more capable than him.

After finishing their work at noon, Wen Luozhi and Bai Qinghuan, siblings, went to check on the progress of the greenhouse construction on the estate.

Uncle Fu rushed over to greet them, his smile barely concealed. "Boss Wen, Second Miss, Third Young Master, the greenhouses on our estate will be finished today!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Luozhi looked over and saw long white dragons lying in the fields, with many people busy working in some open areas.

"good"

She nodded to Uncle Fu, and then ordered people to unload the vegetable seeds they needed from the carriage.

A bag wasn't tied tightly enough and some seeds fell out. Uncle Fu picked them up and held them in his palm. The seeds looked so strange that he had never seen them before.

"Mr. Wen, what kind of vegetable seeds are these?" he couldn't help but ask.

Wen Luozhi glanced at it and replied, "This is called Brussels sprouts."

Seeing that Uncle Fu and the others all looked puzzled, she explained further: "This vegetable is famously so that it can't be picked or finished off. The stems are very long, and the small vegetable rolls can grow to the size of a baby's fist."

"Not only is the yield large, but the taste is also excellent, and there are many ways to cook it. It also has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying."

Having anticipated that someone might ask about the seeds, Wen Luozhi turned around and took out the drawings she had prepared in advance from the carriage.

"This is what it looks like after it grows up," she said, handing the picture of Brussels sprouts to Uncle Fu, who exclaimed in amazement after seeing it.

"Hey! I've lived most of my life and I've never seen a vegetable like this before!"

The Brussels sprouts on the drawing paper are tall, with round little sprouts growing all over the thick stem, which looks very pleasing.

Everyone passed it around to look at it. When it was almost time, Wen Luozhi casually opened a bag and grabbed a handful of seeds that looked like oversized sunflower seeds.

"This is called Jinlaizi. The melons it produces are yellow when ripe, and it needs to be trellised."

After she finished speaking, she found a picture of the golden gourd. The picture showed the golden gourds hanging on the shelf one by one. Everyone was surprised to see that so many of them actually came from a single seed that took root, sprouted, grew, and produced fruit.

After looking at several of them, Wen Luozhi simply gave the blueprints to Uncle Fu:

"Take a look when you have time; I've drawn the seeds on the other side."

As soon as she finished speaking, Uncle Fu flipped over a sheet to look at it, and sure enough, there was a drawing on the back showing what a seed looked like.

Everyone was busy moving the seeds, because Wen Luozhi and Bai Qinghuan had discussed that the seedlings would be raised on this farm, and other farms could come and pick them up when the seedlings were ready.

The seedling raising was scheduled for two days later, and since there was still time, Wen Luozhi wanted to go and see if there were any handy tools that could be used.

Bai Qingyu was going to check on the situation at other estates. Before leaving, he gave Xia Chan a series of instructions to protect Bai Qinghuan and Wen Luozhi.

"Xia Chan, I think there's something seriously wrong with that woman here."

He pointed to his forehead and continued, "If you really can't handle her, just go around her. I don't think her mother is easy to deal with either."

When Bai Qinghuan tried to help He Lingfei up, He's mother rushed over, shoved her hand away, and glared fiercely at Bai Qinghuan.

He wanted to lash out, but it would be bad if someone saw him at someone else's doorstep. He was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would spread rumors that Wen Zijin, a scholar, was leading them to bully women.

Xia Chan nodded vigorously, assuring him, "Don't worry, Second Young Master, I've remembered everything you said."
