The radishes I grow are worth millions

Chapter 9

"Golden radish?" Zhou Youlu couldn't believe his ears.

Why did another golden radish appear?

It was still found in his home.

Zhang Laosi didn't have time to explain to him, but hurriedly led him to the table at the entrance of the village.

When Zhou Youlu rushed to the entrance of the village, he found that the table over there was completely surrounded, and there were many people around, almost all the people in the village gathered here.Some people hadn't had time to see the golden radish last time, but today they heard that there was a new golden radish, so naturally they all gathered here.

And among this group of people, the village chief and a few old men who spoke a lot also came.They stood by the table, staring at the golden radish on the table, looking a little dignified.

Seeing Zhou Youlu coming, the village chief's eyes lit up, he hurried over and pulled Zhou Youlu aside.

He lowered his voice and asked Zhou Youlu, "Little Zhou, last time I asked you how this golden radish came from, you said it was a genetic mutation, but why did another one pop out this time?"

Zhou Youlu glanced back at the golden radish on the table, he didn't know what was going on, and the reason from last time could no longer be used.

Seeing that Zhou Youlu didn't speak, the village chief just shook his head and sighed, "Hey, I don't know what's going on recently, such strange things keep happening."

Zhou Youlu knew what the village chief was lamenting. The golden radish that appeared last time could be regarded as a coincidence, but it was a miracle that the fruit trees of Zhou Youlu's family blossomed and bore fruit again later.But now, another golden radish appeared, which completely panicked the village chief.

There are many people of the older generation in the village, and most of them have not received higher education, so superstition is still serious.

Strange things happen frequently in the village these days, everyone is a little panicked, and they can't help being connected with ghosts and gods.

Of course, what happened recently is not a bad thing, but people's words are terrible. Some people think that frequent occurrence of strange phenomena is not a good thing, but a symbol of disaster.

As the head of a village, the village head will lose his prestige in power if he can't find out the reason.

So when he came to Zhou Youlu, he also hoped that he, a college student who had read a lot of poetry and books, could give a tenable reason to explain all this clearly.

What's more, this golden radish was found in the field of Zhou Youlu's family, so it has something to do with him.

When you can't find a clue to the problem, you can only explore from the root cause.

So the village chief asked, "Have you ever grown radishes on your land before?"

Zhou Youlu nodded and said, "I planted it." And it was just harvested not long ago.

"Then have you grown this kind of golden radish before?" the village head asked again.

"No." Zhou Youlu can be 100% sure that there is no such thing. This is the first time this strange thing happened, and his grandparents have never seen it.

Seeing that he couldn't find out why, the village head had no choice but to let out a long sigh, and decided to put aside the reason for the golden radish for the time being, and calm down first.

Zhou Youlu squeezed into the crowd and found out after asking someone that this golden radish was not discovered by Zhang Laosi, but by a little boy named Erwa.

I heard people say that when Erwa was strolling around the village today, she saw a golden radish popping out of nowhere on the land of Zhou Youlu's family.

What kind of out-of-the-box method is this, Erwa herself can't tell, after all, she is only five years old and a child, and the picture in her mind can't be completely described with words.Anyway, it appeared almost instantly, like magic.

After picking up this golden radish, Erwa played with it at the entrance of the village. This scene was seen by passing villagers, and only then did they discover the golden radish.

"Erwa, when did you find that golden radish?" Zhou Youlu asked Erwa who was biting her finger with her eyes wide open.

Erwa thought for a while, and finally said: "Morning."

"Morning?" Zhou Youlu frowned.

For a moment, he suddenly remembered the game he played on the farm this morning.When he opened the golden radish gift bag this morning, he also dropped a new golden radish.

Zhou Youlu frowned a little more, faintly feeling that things were not that simple.

If the golden radish dropped once was accidental, then what happened to the second golden radish dropped?

And the time when the farm picked up the golden radish twice was the same as the time when he dropped the golden radish in the game. Is this really a coincidence?

Zhou Youlu, who was in a complicated mood, stood silently by the table, staring at the golden radish that was exactly the same as the one he saw in the game, lost in thought.

At this time, someone suddenly said loudly: "Zhou Youlu, two golden radishes have fallen from your farm. It's really strange to say, why do golden radishes keep appearing in your field?"

This sentence reminded the people around, and everyone focused their eyes on Zhou Youlu with burning eyes.

"That's right, it's in your land twice, isn't your land really a treasure trove?"

"I also think it's a bit of a coincidence that two of them fell off, which is so strange."

"There's nothing special about the Zhou family's land. Why does the golden radish just go to his land instead of mine?"

……

Everyone was talking about Zhou Youlu's land, and some people even asked, "Is there any treasure under your house?"

Regarding everyone's doubts, what can Zhou Youlv say?

He came over with a dazed face, and he is still standing here with a dazed face, he didn't understand what was going on.

The people in the village are not well educated. When encountering such strange things, they are often prone to feudal superstitions, so they have something to do with ghosts in words.

"Maybe it's a treasure land of geomantic omen, and as time goes by, the radish will become fine, and it will become golden."

"I don't think this is a good thing, it feels like being bewitched."

"I said, does the God of Wealth live in the ground? If you can drop golden radishes, then next time you might drop golden peppers and golden potatoes!"

……

Zhou Youlu heard everyone's whispering, but he didn't say anything, because he didn't believe it.

But regardless of whether there is any problem with this land, there are always bold people who think that this is a good thing, and it is a good opportunity to make a fortune.

So someone said directly: "Zhou Youlu, you can discuss with your grandparents and sell your few acres of land to me!"

Zhou Youlu turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a tall, white and fat man standing on his right, wearing an orange T-shirt, with a smile on his face.

The person who said this is Li Daliang. His family has a lot of land, and he has one of the few fish ponds in the village. He is also the one who harvests the most real estate in the village every year. He is one of the best "local tyrants" in the village.

But among the whole village, he was the only one who could talk to Zhou Youlu in such a loud tone.

When the local tyrant spoke, everyone fell silent, wanting to see how Zhou Youlu would respond.

The sale of the land is not a big problem, after all, there are many lands that no one wants in the village, and his family's land is not worth much.

How could Zhou Youlu have the right to make a decision? He wanted to decline politely, but a voice suddenly came from behind: "How do you plan to buy it?"

Zhou Youlu, who heard the voice, turned her head quickly, and saw her grandfather standing behind him, slowly walking over with a pipe.

"Grandpa, why are you here?" Zhou Youlu asked in surprise.

You were bored watching TV at home just now, why did you also join in the fun?

Grandpa smiled, didn't answer, but stood beside Zhou Youlu.

He didn't look at Zhou Youlu, but instead turned his gaze to Li Daliang, and repeated what he just said.

Li Daliang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled happily, and immediately said: "Uncle Zhou, I really want your land, why don't you make a price?"

"One hundred per mu." Zhou Youlu's grandfather said calmly.

This price is so affordable, it is so affordable that the eyes of the people around are shocked, and even Zhou Youlu couldn't help showing a shocked expression.

Grandpa, are you serious?

100 yuan per mu, isn't that equivalent to free?

Hearing the price, Li Daliang was of course overjoyed, and immediately nodded boldly: "Sure, I'll buy it!"

Seeing that the two of them reached a consensus so quickly, Zhou Youlu was stunned, and immediately grabbed his grandfather's hand and asked, "Grandpa, did you sell the land just like that?"

He thought that although the land was not worth much, it was close to home, and it was more convenient for grandparents with handicapped legs to work in the field.If this land is gone, even if they cultivate new land in the future, they will have to take a long detour.

And the price of 100 yuan per mu is really too low, right?

Grandpa just smiled and didn't say anything, and didn't explain, he just motioned Zhou Youlu to stand behind him.

Zhou Youlu had no choice but to obediently stand behind his grandfather. Although he didn't understand why his grandfather sold the land so easily, he continued to stand and watch.

"Since Uncle Zhou is so forthright, I'll just give the money here." Li Daliang said hastily, thinking that taking advantage of the large crowd of onlookers, Zhou Youlu's grandfather would not have the chance to repent.

Grandpa was also unambiguous, nodded, and stood here waiting.

Soon, Li Daliang asked his wife to fetch [-] yuan in cash from home, and handed it to Grandpa Zhou Youlu in person.

From then on, the three acres of land in their family has nothing to do with them.

After receiving the money, grandpa didn't say anything else, but tapped on the pipe, motioning for Zhou Youlu to follow him home.

However, before Zhou Youlu could take a few steps, the village head grabbed his arm, and the village head handed the golden radish on the table to Zhou Youlu's hand, saying, "Your things are left here."

Zhou Youlu was taken aback for a moment, obviously not understanding why he should give it to him.

The village chief saw the doubt in his eyes and said, "I picked this up from your field before, and of course it belongs to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Daliang was dissatisfied, and jumped out and said, "Why don't you give it to me? Now I have bought that land, it belongs to my family, so I should give it to me."

The village chief glanced at him helplessly, and said, "Li Daliang, you can be content! You bought the land of geomantic omen, and you still want to keep this radish for yourself?"

Hearing what the village chief said, Li Daliang was speechless for a moment, pouted his mouth and did not speak again.

He thought, since he bought all the land anyway, all the golden radishes dropped in the future will be his, and this one will not be missing.

After Zhou Youlu took the golden radish, before he had walked a few steps, a large group of people surrounded him.

"Xiao Zhou, can you sell me your golden radish?"

"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhou, wait, can you cut me a piece of your golden radish?"

"Xiao Zhou, don't leave, why don't you sell the golden radish to me?"

……

The father and two who wanted to go home were suddenly surrounded by crowds.

To be honest, everyone is quite envious of this golden radish now.

When the golden radish was picked up last time, everyone didn't know its magical use, and thought it was just an ordinary radish worth nothing.

But this time is different, ever since it was known that radishes can cure lame legs, the value of this golden radish has changed in an instant, and it has become a treasure comparable to a panacea, and it is very sought-after.

Who doesn't want it?

But now there is only one golden radish, and there are so many people in the village, it is not enough.

In this case, the competition is particularly fierce, and some people even fight to buy this golden radish.

Seeing that the scene was very chaotic, Zhou Youlu finally frowned and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, be quiet! I don't plan to sell this carrot."

Hearing that he said that he didn't plan to sell, the people around immediately became quiet, and asked him with wide-eyed eyes, "Why?"

If this radish is not sold, it will go bad after a few days.Besides, Zhou Youlu's family is healthy and not disabled, so it's useless to ask for this golden radish, it's better to sell it to those in need.

"Zhou Youlu, my father-in-law is lame, he really needs this carrot!"

"Zhou Youlu, sell it to me, so that I can heal my daughter-in-law's leg."

"Zhou Youlu, sell it to me! My son has high and low legs, I want to try it!"

……

The shouts one after another reached Zhou Youlu's ears, which made him burnt out, and he was also very embarrassed.

It's not good to sell this radish to anyone.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing! Listen to me first!" Zhou Youlu shouted, "I only have this golden radish in my hand, and it won't be easy to sell it to anyone. So I plan to take this golden radish with me." Go to the hospital in the county to conduct ingredient research to find out what special ingredients are in it that can treat lameness. This radish is a good sample. If it can be detected, there will be medicines that can replace golden radish in the future. Everyone It can cure the lame."

These words finally convinced everyone.

This golden radish is the size of a palm, not enough for anyone to share.You say cut a piece for each person, but eating it may not be effective, after all, the dog ate the whole golden radish to heal his leg.

Rather than betting on uncertainty, it would be better to ask Zhou Youlu to study the golden radish for the benefit of the common people.

And Zhou Youlu added: "Don't worry, if the hospital can't detect it, I will bring back the remaining golden radish. Then you all come to fight for this golden radish, okay?"

Zhou Youlu had already said that, there was nothing wrong with it, everyone nodded their heads one after another.

Zhou Youlu breathed a sigh of relief, and followed his grandfather out of the crowd.

After returning home, Zhou Youlu finally looked at his grandfather's back and asked, "Grandpa, why did you sell the land at home?"

Grandpa leaned back on the chair, glanced at Zhou Youlu, and said, "That land is not a rare thing, it's sold as soon as it's sold."

Zhou Youlu was still a little puzzled, and said, "But I don't usually see you selling it, so why did you sell it so easily at this time?"

Grandpa smiled and said, "Actually, I don't really want that land anymore. Today he said he wants to buy it, so I'll go along with the flow and sell it to him as a favor."

"Why?" Zhou Youlu felt that there was something in the words when he heard it.

Grandpa narrowed his eyes and said: "The land is not very good. In the past, because the three-acre land was close to Lao Li and Lao Zhang's next door, they often took advantage of them and quarreled with each other. Neighbors? , it’s not easy for you to say anything. It’s all right now, and the land has been sold, so I feel much more at ease.”

It was only then that Zhou Youlu found out that his grandparents had a big fight with the two families next door because of land disputes.This has caused tense neighbor relations for many years. Although the resentment has disappeared over the years, there are still some knots in my heart.

Their family's land is in the middle, but every time they harvest, they will be taken advantage of by the two neighbors.For example, he picked half of his peaches, and secretly picked vegetables from his field.

This kind of thing has happened many times, but the grandparents turned a blind eye and closed their eyes and didn't care about it. Otherwise, they would have taken advantage of it.

It just so happened that I took the opportunity to sell the land this time, and my grandparents thought it was a good idea, so I don't have to fight with them anymore.

But Zhou Youlu was worried: "The land is gone, so how can we eat?"

Grandpa laughed again, and said, "The land at the foot of the back mountain belongs to our family, doesn't it?"

Zhou Youlu was taken aback for a moment, and then said in surprise, "That land belongs to our family?"

That piece of land is huge, almost ten acres. It is no exaggeration to say that a farm can be built on that land.Moreover, that place is next to a tributary of a river, and the water and soil are fertile, which is very suitable for the growth of crops.

It was the first time he knew that such a good land belonged to his family.

Grandpa nodded and said, "That's right, it's just that your grandma and I don't have the energy to tinker, so it's all a wasteland now."

Zhou Youlu finally showed a rare smile, grinned and said, "Grandpa and grandma, don't worry, I'll go and have a look tomorrow and fix that piece of land."

Zhou Youlu is now smiling.

I thought my farming business was coming to an end, but I didn't expect that grandpa still had a hand, and they still had a huge backup land.

What a pleasant surprise.

The matter at home was settled for the time being. Zhou Youlu decided to go to the county early tomorrow morning to take the golden radish to the hospital for testing, so he borrowed a motorcycle from the fourth son of Zhang next door the night before.

To be honest, he has never ridden a motorcycle since he was so old, at most he has ridden an electric scooter. Such an old scooter is quite rare.

But there is no way, in this backward village, only this small motorcycle is the most convenient means of transportation, otherwise I can only ride a tricycle.

The speed of the tricycle is too slow, Zhou Youlu can only choose to ride a motorcycle if he wants to get to the county seat as soon as possible.

Zhou Youlu learned motorcycles with Zhang's fourth son for half a day in the open space in front of the gate, and finally mastered the skill of balance, and began to practice driving motorcycles on the trails in the village.

It was getting dark in the evening, and the roads in the village were more rugged. Zhou Youlu rode the motorcycle carefully, for fear of accidentally falling into the ditch.

At this time, his cell phone suddenly rang.
