The radishes I grow are worth millions

13 - Wrong

Where there is a golden radish in the newspaper, it is clearly a yam!

Zhou Youlu frowned, and gave Dr. Zheng a puzzled look.

Doctor Zheng didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he realized that Zhou Youlu's eyes were wrong, he came over to look.

Seeing that the newspaper contained yams instead of golden radishes, he panicked and said quickly, "Ah, I took the wrong one, I took the wrong one!"

I turned around and went back to search around, but I couldn't find the second golden radish that was wrapped tightly.

At this time, Dr. Zheng may have realized that something was wrong. He held the pipe and thought about it carefully, then slapped his head and said loudly: "Oh, I must have made a mistake when I took the medicine just now!"

He remembered that when he gave Xu Peicheng the medicine bag just now, he seemed to have slipped a long strip wrapped in newspaper into it. It should be that time that he confused the golden radish with the mountain yam.

Hearing Dr. Zheng's words, Zhou Youlu's face darkened immediately, and he asked, "Then who did you give it to?"

"It's just that guest." Doctor Zheng was also very embarrassed, and pointed out the door very guilty, indicating that the golden radish must be in the hands of Xu Peicheng who had already left.

Zhou Youlu looked along the alley, the long and narrow alley was deserted, and at the end was a noisy market.

"How long has that man been gone?" Zhou Youlu turned his head and asked again.

Doctor Zheng looked at the time, thought for a while, and said, "It should have been only about ten minutes."

Zhou Youlu was suddenly even more speechless.

Of course he knew who the person who just visited was, but Xu Peicheng definitely didn't come here on foot. In this 10-minute gap, he had already gone far away. Where could he find it?

Zhou Youlu glared at Dr. Zheng several times in a fit of anger. He was in a state of distress, and he had something to say. In short, he pointed his finger at him for a long time, but he didn't say anything.

He still couldn't say anything harsh to the old man, no matter how angry he was, he could only sigh and say: "Hey, forget it, if he brings that carrot back, remember to contact me."

Even though he said that, it was just talk, Zhou Youlu felt that there was little hope of the golden radish being sent back.

Although golden radishes are indeed relatively rare, how could people come from a big city thousands of miles away to this remote village in order to return a golden radish?

Don't even think about it, it's almost impossible, barring a miracle.

Dr. Zheng also understood that he had made a big mistake, and the slightly lofty attitude just now was gone. He lowered his posture instantly, and smiled at Zhou Youlu: "This is necessary. Young man, please leave a phone number. In case the golden radish is sent back, I can contact you."

Zhou Youlu didn't really want to stay, but he didn't want to hit the smiling person with his hand, so Zhou Youlu gave it anyway.

After leaving a phone call, Zhou Youlu felt that there was no need to stay here anymore, so she left the traditional Chinese medicine shop with her fishing net.

Before leaving, Zhou Youlu also reminded: "Remember to call that doctor back and explain about the golden radish."

When Dr. Zheng was mentioned, he remembered that the person he had contacted in advance said that he would come to see the golden radish at noon.

So he immediately took out his mobile phone for the elderly and hurriedly dialed the other party's number.

When Zhou Youlu left with the fishing net, he heard Doctor Zheng's sighing voice from inside the medical hall: "That golden radish is gone..."

In fact, Zhou Youlu felt very heavy when he left.

I just learned that this golden radish has a miraculous effect on curing lameness, and the value of this golden radish is already extraordinary.He brought the whole village to hope to bring this golden radish to the county town for research. This is a good thing. Before the research, the golden radish was lost. How should I explain it when I go back?

Tell them honestly that the golden radish was taken away by mistake?

Or lie to them that they were successfully sent to the research institute for research?

Zhou Youlu stood there thinking for a moment, and felt that it was not very good, and he had to make up a more heart-wrenching story, such as the golden radish being stolen, so as not to give hope to the villagers.

But then again, this is the third golden radish found by accident in their village.If the first two drops were purely accidental, then is this drop also accidental?

Zhou Youlu has been thinking about this issue for the past few days. Obviously, he feels that the golden radish dropped by accident. Instead, he feels more and more that the golden radish has something to do with his farm mobile game, but he can't find it now. Evidence that there is a necessary connection between them.

At this moment, Zhou Youlu's stomach growled suddenly.

He looked down at the time, it was just noon, and it was time for dinner.

Zhou Youlu ran around all morning, already hungry, and now that the weather is hot, he is thirsty and hungry, and he can't wait to find a shady place to sit down immediately.

However, the dire economic situation reminded him that in a county where prices are slightly higher, eating a meal is not a small expense.There is no need to think about eating out, I can only barely eat a bowl of noodles to fill my stomach.

So Zhou Youlu rode that motorcycle around the city, and finally saw a noodle restaurant on a bustling street, then ordered a bowl of noodle soup and sat down in the restaurant.

The lady proprietress of the noodle restaurant was quite enthusiastic. Seeing Zhou Youlu sit down, she warmly brought him a cup of herbal tea, and also took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "Young man, you are not a local, where did you come from?"

Zhou Youlu was not shy, and replied directly: "Shizui Village."

"Oh, Shizui Village, I've been there." Hearing the familiar place name, the proprietress smiled even more. While wiping the table with a rag, she smiled and talked to Zhou Youlu, "My aunt's mother-in-law is also from Shizui Village. .”

Zhou Youlu nodded, returned a polite smile, and said nothing, because he didn't know how to answer it for a while.

Maybe because there are few people eating noodles in the noodle shop today, and there are only a few people in the shop, the proprietress talked more.She asked again: "Young man, are you going to the city today to drive the fair?"

The proprietress's Mandarin is not very standard, with a thick accent, but it sounds very friendly to Zhou Youlu.

He shook his head and said, "No, I'm here to see relatives." Lying is also serious.

"Where do relatives live?" the landlady asked casually.

Zhou Youlu was at a loss for words for a while, and said vaguely: "I live in the west side of this city..."

The exact location was not mentioned, but the proprietress didn't ask, she just nodded and said, "That's a coincidence, you can go and have a look at the market in the west of the city today."

Zhou Youlu smiled again and nodded politely.

He really didn't have much interest in the market. After all, the main purpose of entering the city today was to take the golden radish for research, but the plan was suddenly interrupted.

At this time, the noodles were ready, and the proprietress brought them to him, and handed him a pair of clean chopsticks.

Zhou Youlu took the chopsticks and started eating without saying a word, gobbling it up, obviously very hungry.

The proprietress was still chattering away, Zhou Youlu was too busy eating noodles and didn't listen carefully, just perfunctorily coping.

But when the proprietress said the word "radish", Zhou Youlu stopped eating noodles, turned his head and asked, "Madam proprietress, what did you just say?"

The proprietress repeated what she had just said, which probably meant that because of insect plagues and droughts this year, the agricultural harvest is not very optimistic, especially the poor harvest of radishes.This province is also a large agricultural province, and it can be regarded as one of the main exports of the domestic agricultural market.The poor harvest of radishes in this province has also affected the export of radishes in the domestic market. Due to the scarcity, the price of radishes is now soaring.Even locally, the price of radish is ridiculously expensive, almost catching up with the price of pork.

As she said that, the proprietress sighed and said, "Hey, I never thought that now I can't even afford carrots."

Zhou Youlu was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and finally asked, "It's fine to eat radishes, but why are they so ridiculously expensive?"

The proprietress laughed again and said, "You don't understand this. The most famous special dishes in our Donghai County are mainly made of radishes. The price of radishes has increased, so this dish can't be made?"

As she said that, the proprietress gave a few more examples. The general idea is that the tradition of Donghai County loves to eat radishes, and the special dishes of Donghai County are exported to the whole country. This radish is an indispensable ingredient.

Zhou Youlu seemed to understand, but after hearing such words, he suddenly felt that his chance had come.

The family has such a large piece of land, and it has not yet been plowed, and it has not yet figured out how to plan it.It just so happens that there is an urgent shortage of radishes in the market during this time, so why not plant radishes first?

Anyway, radish is one of the easiest crops to survive, and you don't need to take care of it, so you can try it first.

After making up his mind, Zhou Youlu gradually drew a blueprint for his farm in his mind.Thinking that in addition to growing vegetables on my own land, I also need to expand a fish pond. If conditions permit, I will expand a pasture next time.

Of course, these are all his beautiful imaginations. To build his own farm well, he must spend a lot of time and money, which is not so easy.

But after having a rough goal, his mood improved a bit, and the haze of losing the golden radish just now was swept away.

Opening his mouth to take another sip of the noodle soup, Zhou Youlu wiped his mouth with a tissue, ready to pay and leave.

At this time, his mobile phone rang again, reminding him that there was a new message.

Zhou Youlu took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was a message from the village chief, asking him if he had contacted Dr. Zheng and how things were going.

Zhou Youlu naturally replied with an affirmative answer, but he didn't reveal anything about the golden radish, and only said that he would talk about it when he went back.

The village chief didn't ask any more questions, and after replying with the word "yes", he lost his voice.

Zhou Youlu sighed silently in his heart, and was about to put the phone back into his pocket, when the phone rang again, reminding him that he had received a new message.

Zhou Youlu casually picked up the phone again, looked down, it was a message from a stranger.

After clicking on the text message and looking at it, Zhou Youlu's smile froze suddenly, his hands trembled, and he almost dropped his phone to the ground.
