As soon as the grapes are out of season, the green apples are ripe again, and several children are counting the days with their fingers.

This time Pei Xiu didn't go. It was so hot that she didn't want to move, and she was sweating just a little bit.

I can't use too much ice in the house, I can't eat cold things, and I have to drink hot concoction on a hot day.

She was still in a lazy nest to enjoy the cool air, not going anywhere, it was more comfortable, and this time they didn't plan to stay overnight, they would go back to the city when the sun went down.

The children of Zhuangzi are very familiar with Zhou Cheng and a team of guards led by Zhou Shan, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.

In the evening, the group really returned with a full load, and several baskets of green apples were piled up on the trolley.

Pei Xiu looked at the door and said in surprise, "Did you pick all the fruits?"

The second child nodded and said, "Yes, mother, it's all cooked. If you don't pick it, it may turn yellow in a few days, and it won't taste good by then, pink."

"Okay, pick it up and pick it up, everyone will pack a little and go back."

"Mother don't need to greet them, do they seem to be polite to us? One person has a large basket and put it on his carriage." The third child looked at Zhou Shan and Shen Xiaojiu who were laughing with contempt.

Pei Xiu said with a smile: "It's good to have it installed, you're welcome, and it's not a valuable thing."

"Mother, what should I do with this big car?"

This is not the first time they have eaten green apples, but the people in the capital have never heard of it or seen it.

Pei Xiu didn't dare to send the fruit into the palace. After all, it was something he had never seen before, and the palace was very cautious.

"Tomorrow you go to school, take some to the academy, and share it with your classmates. The rest will be delivered to the cake shop tomorrow, and you can sell as much as you want."

She also has to take part of it as a gift.

Unexpectedly, because of the grapes, their family has already received the attention of the big households in the capital.

The next day, as soon as a few baskets of green apples were carried into the shop, they were surrounded by servants from the various houses who had been dispatched long ago.

When the new items came out, all the families were very rational, so they only bought two or three kilograms for their masters to try out, and this green apple was not expensive, only a little more expensive than ordinary fruits.

However, a comparison of grapes, it is almost equivalent to a free gift.

After the first batch of people who heard the news left, there were the second batch and the third batch. They all heard that the Zhou family had new fruits, so they sent people over to buy some to try.

After all, the quality of the grapes is obvious to all, and the Zhou family is a family that donated new and improved seeds. The fruit produced by his family's Zhuangzi will definitely not be bad.

With this kind of mentality, a group of people came and a group left, and in the afternoon, those who left in the morning came back and recovered enough...

In the evening, when the academy was out of school, the scholars with good family conditions all asked the servants to turn to Chang'an Avenue first, and they wanted to buy green apples...

"Master, the mansion has it. The servants I bought today, I bought some new fruits when I saw them. Take them back to the mansion, the madam tasted it and thought it was good, so I bought more. You will have something to eat when you go back, no need to buy any more. already."

"Ah, that's fine, then go back to the manor."

At this time, Pei Xiu was also listening to the housekeeper's report that all the green apples had been sold out. She was very satisfied, and thought it would not be sold out today.

At this moment, another servant came to report, "There is someone from the East Palace."

She stood up in surprise, why did Donggong suddenly come?

why?

Before she could turn her head around, she saw a servant come in with a smile.

"Anne Madam Zhou~"

"Father-in-law is polite, may I ask what is your order from the East Palace?"

"I didn't order it, that is, our county master Xuexi heard today that another fruit called green apple was produced in your village, and you were clamoring to eat it. The grandson ordered our family to buy it, but it was already sold out, so we The family had to be cheeky and come to ask for it."

Pei Xiu chuckled, "It turned out to be for Green Apple. Fortunately, I still have some left in my mansion, otherwise I would have disappointed Princess Xuexi. Father-in-law will wait a moment, and my concubine will order someone to fetch it."

"Thank you madam, now our family can also do business. I don't know when the fruit will be sold tomorrow. Can you keep some in advance?"

"I'm really sorry, the boy in the family picked all the fruits from the green apple tree at one time yesterday evening, and there will be none tomorrow, so we can only wait for the next year."

The servant's eyes showed a look of pity, "That's a pity. If the noble person eats well, he will definitely want it, so he can only wait for next year."

She smiled and said: "If the noble person likes it, the concubine will definitely stay more next year."

"Thank you Mrs. Zhou, then our family will retire first, and the group leader Xuexi must be in a hurry."

"Father-in-law walk slowly..."

A few boys had just returned from school at this time, and when they arrived at the door, the maid greeted Zhou Shan.

The two brothers hurried a few steps into the house, "Mother, why is there a servant coming to our house?"

"Xuexi County Master heard that he wanted to eat green apples, so he sent his maid out of the palace to buy it. The shop was already sold out, so the maid came to ask."

"Oh, I didn't expect it to sell so fast. I knew that we bought it the year before last. Last year, when we were not at home, the housekeeper decided to give it away. It's a pity."

Pei Xiu shook his head with a smile, "We haven't sold it before, we just used it as a gift, and the housekeeper followed the old rules."

The old third said with a star-like stare: "After two years of fruit trees have grown, it is estimated that there will be a good harvest again."

"Wait two years and see."

The second child said suspiciously: "It seems that Princess Xuexi hasn't been out of the palace for a long time. Before last year, she always said it and came out to play. Today, she actually sent a servant out and didn't come by herself?"

"The Princess Xuexi is older. It's time to pay attention to the men's and women's defense. It's normal for the East Palace to not let her out."

Zhou Shan also said: "The county master has grown a lot taller in the past six months. He looks slim and looks like a big girl. It's normal for the East Palace to start restraining."

"Well, I'll just say we haven't seen her in a while."

The third child asked, "Mother, today our classmates said it was delicious, shall we continue to sow seeds next year?"

"Yes, it doesn't take a lot of trouble anyway. When the saplings grow up, it is estimated that the fruit trees will also grow. At that time, you can continue to reclaim the mountains according to the situation."

"Mother, can we also go to reclamation at that time?"

Looking at each and everyone with bright eyes, do you think land reclamation is fun? Is it easy?

"Reclaiming the wasteland is different from the usual sowing and picking. You can't do this kind of physical work, so don't think about it. When the reclamation is finished and you need to transplant, you may be able to help with the planting."

With a commitment, they are also satisfied.

"Okay, let's sow seeds next year."

"Let's talk about it next year." Anyway, she was habitually collecting the seeds.
