She pursed her lips, her face showing a little embarrassment, but she cooperated and leaned her head over to take a bite.
To be honest, the cherry was really delicious, sweet and sour and juicy, and the flesh was also very tender.
Gu Chen looked at her curiously, 'What do you think, is it good?'
Ji Bianran nodded, "Mmm." After that, her watery eyes looked over to Gu Chen's face, 'You should try it too.'
Gu Chen nodded, his daughter-in-law had said it was good too, so it really seemed to be good.
He casually threw the other half in his hand into his mouth, and spat out the core.
Ji Bianran's heart trembled.
She blinked her watery eyes, her mouth moved a little, but she didn't say anything, as if she was about to say something but stopped.
That was what was left over from her own meal, and Gu Chen actually ate it without even thinking about it?
Once upon a time, he wouldn't even use his own used chopsticks.
Now, he actually ate what was left over from her.
So casually, naturally, he ate the half cherry that was left over from her.
What was this?
Gu Chen was completely unaware of Ji Pianran at the moment.
He kept his head down, his eyes fixed on the core of the fruit in his hand, which still had a little purplish-red flesh on it.
A thought suddenly occurred to him.
If something this delicious could be cultivated in a spirit field, just how good would it taste?
This stuff isn't cheap to begin with, and if it tastes even better, it's bound to sell for even more.
In that case, wouldn't that give him an extra way to make money?
Matsutake mushrooms are expensive, but there's only so much of them, and once you've sold the current batch, that's it.
But cherries are different.
They're like wolfberries: the crop will definitely come in one after the other, and if sales keep going well, they'll still have a promising future.
Earning enough to pay for a house is definitely not a problem!
Gu Chen couldn't help but get a little excited thinking about it.
At this moment, Tang Tang also placed the pit she had eaten on the table, reaching for the next one.
Gu Chen took the two pits in his hands.
This time, he stood up and said, 'These cherries are good, so you guys eat more.'
After that, he left the living room and walked towards the kitchen.
Now he couldn't wait to plant the two pits in the ground.
Once he entered the space, Gu Chen planted the two cherry pits in the ground and poured a lot of Lingquan water.
The seeds of the cherries sprouted instantly after coming into contact with the spring water. The seedlings were like a small blade of grass, emerald green in colour and looking extremely delicate.
At the moment, the wolfberries had already produced quite a lot, but Gu Chen was in no hurry. After all, the sales channels for wolfberries were already established.
He just needed to deliver the goods on time.
First, he carefully uprooted all the matsutake mushrooms in the field and then found a nylon bag and put them in.
It's not that Gu Chen doesn't want to plant matsutake again, it's just that he doesn't have the seeds for this stuff, and unlike other things that can live with just a root, this stuff is really delicate.
If it dies, the loss will outweigh the gain.
After all the matsutake had been packed, Gu Chen finally had some space.
Right now, the only thing left to do in the front room is to lay the bricks outside the door.
Because Gu Chen knew that he had to take Ji Pianran and Tangtang to the doctor today, he simply didn't lock the door to facilitate Tian Laosi working in his own home.
Tian Laosi was originally a well-behaved person.
When he arrived at Gu Chen's house, he shouted twice in the courtyard.
Finding that no one was at Gu Chen's house, he didn't even enter the doors of the other rooms, and directly rolled up his sleeves and started working.
There wasn't much work to do, and it was basically finished by noon.
He planned to come back in the afternoon to lay the tiles and finish the job.
But when he went home for lunch, he locked the door of Gu Chen's house without thinking.
He couldn't get in, so he had to wait until Gu Chen came back.
Seeing that Gu Chen should have returned by now, he hurried to Gu Chen's house and knocked on the door.
When Gu Chen opened the door, he saw Tian Laosi, who smiled cordially.
'Oh, it's you, Fourth Brother. Where's Yan Yan? Why aren't you here for dinner?'
Tian Laosi thought Gu Chen thought he was just there for dinner, and hurriedly explained awkwardly.
'No, I came to lay the tiles. I locked the door by accident at noon, so I didn't come in. It's just a little work, and I'll leave after it's done.'
After saying this, he lowered his head and walked towards the front room.
Gu Chen slapped his head and hurriedly followed behind.
Oh no!
Fourth Brother Tian has always had a thin skin, and after hearing what he said, he must have thought I was saying he was just here for free food!
'Fourth Brother, I didn't mean it like that, so please don't take it personally,' Gu Chen explained.
Fourth Brother Tian blushed and smiled.
'I know, I just didn't want you to think I was here for free food.'
After spending so many days together, Fourth Brother Tian and Gu Chen had become familiar with each other, and they felt more comfortable saying things to each other.
Gu Chen smiled when he saw him smile, and followed suit.
'To be honest, Brother Si, I'm really happy that you're here for dinner, so don't always feel embarrassed.'
They were neighbours, and Gu Chen was not a stingy person; he really didn't care about the extra pair of chopsticks.
Besides, Tian Laosi had helped him a lot; he worked for him and ate at his house, so it was only natural.
There was no reason to let the worker go hungry.
Tian Laosi nodded, 'It's fine, no need to explain, I know you mean well.'
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and took two bricks from the pile by the door and began laying them on the floor.
'These bricks need to be pressed down firmly to work.'
Gu Chen also followed Tian Laosi's example and took a brick and laid it on the floor.
Seeing that Gu Chen was also helping, Tian Laosi hurriedly stopped him.
'Don't get involved, if you lay the floor, the food in the pot will burn, won't it?'
It would be a shame if the meat smell in the yard was burnt.
Gu Chen laughed, 'It's stewing, it won't burn!'
Hearing him say that, Tian Laosi also felt relieved. He reached out and firmly pressed the brick to the ground.
'By the way, when you were talking about the land acquisition this morning, when I got back, a lot of people asked me if they could sign the contract tomorrow.'
After all, the two families live opposite each other, and Tian Laosi must know better than anyone else.
Unable to find Gu Chen, they naturally came to ask Tian Laosi.
Hearing Tian Laosi talk about this, Gu Chen pressed the brick in his hand against the ground and pressed it hard again.
'To be honest with you, I don't think this will be settled until the day after tomorrow. The medical examination report won't be issued until tomorrow, so tomorrow, I still have to go into the city.'
What Gu Chen didn't say was that he not only had to pick up the report, but also sell the matsutake mushrooms.
The mushrooms would go bad if he didn't pick them up!
He also had to go to the bank in the afternoon to print the contract. Once all that was done, it would be three or four o'clock when he got back.
Tian Laosi nodded, 'Okay, I understand.'
Gu Chen took another brick.
'By the way, Fourth Brother, how about this: to make up for the two days' loss for everyone, I'll treat everyone who wants to sell me the land to dinner the day after tomorrow. I'll need you to pass on the message.'
After all, it was his own delay, so treating everyone to a meal would be a way of thanking everyone for their trust in him.
'There are quite a few people, so I'll come help you the day after tomorrow,' Tian Laosi looked surprised when he heard the invitation to dinner. "I'll have to invite my wife and Aunt Zhang too!'
There were dozens of people, so it wouldn't be easy to prepare the meal.
Tian Laosi was really worried that Gu Chen would be too busy.
Gu Chen didn't refuse, and he smiled brightly at Tian Laosi, "Thank you so much, Fourth Brother!'
