Chapter 337

Today.

The emerald chives were to be harvested; they were the first type of vegetable produced by the six-acre greenhouse.

"The taste is the same as the ones produced in summer."

"There's also a warm current."

Cai Quanwu snapped off a chive, tasted the flavor, and judged the quality.

"Ping'an, the emerald chives grown in the greenhouse are no worse in quality than the ones grown outside in summer, it's just that the yield is a bit lower!"

Cai Quanwu reported.

The first year of building the greenhouse was just experimental, so of course, they wouldn't build too many.

"Good, cut them all down!"

Wan Ping'an nodded.

Harvesting chives was truly cutting!

Cut the part of the chives above the ground, leaving some stubble.

As long as the temperature was suitable, the chives would grow out again quickly, waiting for the next harvest.

The small tavern.

Someone delivered emerald chives.

Xu Huirong had already made an appointment with Wan Ping'an.

A portion of the emerald chives in the greenhouse had been reserved in advance by Xu Huirong.

"Are the emerald chives here?"

A man with graying hair entered the door and asked directly for emerald chives.

"They're here, they're here. How do you plan to eat them?"

"Eat them raw, stir-fry them with eggs, or some other way?"

Xu Huirong asked with a smile.

She had long expected that the emerald chives would be very popular.

In the summer, even with large production, they were in short supply, let alone now in the freezing winter, when it was hard to see fresh vegetables.

"Stir-fry with eggs!"

The man replied.

Soon after, another customer came, still wanting emerald chives, and ordered them raw—just washed, cut into small pieces, and served on a plate.

Not long after.

The small tavern was full.

"The emerald chives are too tempting. It's a pity I make clothes, not run a tavern."

Chen Xueru was jealous.

Xu Huirong's business was too good.

Fan Jinyou arrived at the small tavern and was very surprised to see that business was exceptionally booming.

"Emerald chives again?"

Fan Jinyou found someone to ask and received an answer that made him furious.

The emerald chives were grown by Wan Ping'an.

He hated Wan Ping'an! Yes.

"I've investigated; Wan Ping'an himself, plus his three preceding generations, are all ordinary people. There isn't a single one who is good at farming."

"He must have another reason for being able to grow magical crops."

"If I can find out and master it, I can also grow magical crops and will definitely be able to rise to success."

A greedy light flashed in Fan Jinyou's eyes.

He had come to find Xu Huirong, but now he gave up; he had to go back and find people to uncover the secret of the six acres of land.

"Heizi, Gou Dan'er, as long as you two find out the secret of the six acres of land, I'll give you one hundred yuan, starting with a twenty-yuan deposit."

Fan Jinyou found the two men.

"Really?"

Heizi's eyes sparkled.

Neither he nor Gou Dan had a formal job.

They used to work in the steel rolling mill warehouse, but they were light-fingered, were sentenced to one year in prison, were fired, and later received care from Fan Jinyou.

"Of course!"

"The six acres of land belong to my enemy. You two be careful, don't let him discover you. If he says he has precautions, it will be difficult for me to deal with him in the future."

Fan Jinyou did not tell the two the truth.

The two nodded.

They didn't think much about it.

The temptation of one hundred yuan was too great.

The two took the twenty-yuan deposit, had a good meal, got dead drunk, and at night, they quietly set off for the six acres of land.

"Heizi, I always feel something is wrong. Fan Jinyou seems to be hiding something from us."

Gou Dan'er was a bit suspicious.

"It's nothing. We aren't going to kill or set fires; we're just going to the six acres of land to take a look, get close, and then leave. What could possibly happen?"

Heizi didn't care at all.

He took Gou Dan, and the two soon arrived near the six acres of land.

Slap!

Heizi lunged forward and fell heavily to the ground.

"Gou Dan'er, why did you hit my head?"

Heizi was very annoyed.

"When did I hit you?"

"Didn't you just hit me?"

"No, we were walking side by side. If I hit you, wouldn't you have seen it?"

"You're right."

Heizi nodded.

Gou Dan was right beside him, and the two were moving forward together. If Gou Dan had made a big move, he definitely would have noticed. So who hit him just now?

Bang!

It was Gou Dan's turn.

He was also hit on the back of the head by someone and knocked to the ground.

"Heizi, you aren't taking revenge on me, are you?"

"Look, my head is bleeding."

Gou Dan'er touched his head.

By the moonlight, one could see the blood on his hand.

"Gou Dan'er, I'm afraid we've encountered something unclean."

Heizi's voice trembled as he looked left and right.

He hadn't hit Gou Dan'er, yet Gou Dan'er's head was bleeding. Who hit him?

He looked left and right clearly.

There was absolutely no one there.

Just like when he was hit earlier, he couldn't find who did it at all.

"Don't talk nonsense. What kind of dirty thing is that?"

Gou Dan's voice was also a bit shaky.

The two stood up, back-to-back, cautiously watching their surroundings.

Slap!

Both of their heads were hit at the same time.

Both of them fell to the ground at the same time.

"Gou Dan'er, let's run!"

"Heizi, we aren't earning this money. Fan Jinyou is too deceitful."

Gou Dan'er and Heizi turned and ran.

Both were scared to death.

The six acres of land were quiet.

Owls returned to their nests.

In less than an hour, Gou Dan'er and Heizi found Fan Jinyou with fire in their eyes.
