623 A Basket of Cherries

“Milord, this official has found a few small things to present to you. Please kindly accept them!” Lin An County’s Wu Ming carried the half-basket of cherries and handed it to the Lord.

The lord originally disdained meeting this poor County Magistrate, Wu Ming. After all, he was a poor County Magistrate who didn’t know how to please people.

However, Wu Ming rarely came to visit him, his superior. Why did he suddenly want to visit him for no reason?

Thus, out of curiosity, the superior who disliked the poor magistrate met.

However, as soon as they met, Wu Ming gave his superior a basket.

Ji Zhongcai was just as disdainful of the basket that Wu Ming handed over as he was of Wu Ming.

But soon, he found that the things in the basket seemed to be things he had never seen before. They were bright red and small, and they were very beautiful.

Originally, it would take a day to move from Lin ‘An County to Zhou Shan city. These cherries had been in baskets all this time. Even if they were not as bright as they had just been picked, they should have lost some water and did not look as fresh.

However, these fruits were directly planted in the s.p.a.ce by Lin Yuelan. They grew by absorbing the spiritual Qi and spiritual water in the s.p.a.ce, so they could maintain their bright color and taste for more than half a month.

Therefore, the cherries in the basket were still red and listening, which made Ji Zhongcai curious.

He asked in surprise, ” What is this? Why is it so red and watery?”

Wu Ming replied with a smile, ” this thing is called cherry. It’s a type of fruit found in remote mountainous areas. It’s sweet and sour. Sir, please try it first!”

As he spoke, he took out a cherry and handed it to Ji Zhongcai.

Ji Zhongcai took the cherry from Wu Ming’s hand. His expression was the same as Wu Ming’s when he first tasted the cherry. First, he was curious, then he was surprised, and then he was shocked.

“Is this a fruit? ” he asked in surprise.

“Yes, my lord. This is a fruit.” Wu Ming replied with a smile. In fact, he was extremely nervous.

He had given half a basket of cherries to Ji Zhongcai in order to do him a favor.

He didn’t know if this big basket of cherries would be able to move his superior.

After tasting a few cherries, Ji Zhongcai was obviously pleased. He smiled and said, “Good, good. I’ve never eaten such sweet and delicious fruit. I say, Sir Wu, where did you get this? ”

Wu Ming did not dare to lie. “I’m not afraid of being laughed at by you, Sir. This thing was given to me by a merchant under me. I thought it was rare, so I especially gave it to you to try. I heard him say that this thing was bought from a villager in a remote mountain village in An Ding County.”

“A village in An Ding County? ” Ji Zhongcai was curious.

Wu Ming said, ” yes, my Lord!

Ji Zhongcai asked again, “Can we still buy this fruit at that village?”

Wu Ming immediately said hesitantly, ” Sir, I don’t know!”

Ji Zhongcai asked again, ” I remember that Zhou Changsheng is the county magistrate of anding County, right? ”

Wu Ming frowned and thought for a moment before saying, ” yes, my lord!”

Ji Zhongcai nodded and said, ” yes, I understand. Don’t worry, and I will definitely put in a good word for you with the higher-up!”

Wu Ming’s face lit up with joy. He hurriedly bowed to Ji Zhongcai and said, ” Thank you, sir!”

…

Zhou Changsheng was holding a letter from Ji Zhongcai, the prefect of Zhou Shan City. He frowned and was a little confused.

Zhou Wencai happened to come to find his father. Upon seeing his father’s expression, he seemed to be troubled by a problem. He immediately asked in puzzlement, ” Father, what’s wrong? Is there a problem with this letter?”

Zhou Changsheng handed the letter to Zhou Wencai and said, ” strange, how does Lord Ji know about cherries? He actually wrote to me and asked me if I had a fruit called cherry.”

Zhou Wencai took the letter and read it. Indeed, Lord Ji’s standards had always been very high. He had always been disdainful of his subordinates. This was the first time he had written to Zhou Wencai’s father, but it was about an edible fruit.

Zhou Wencai returned the letter to his father and said with a smile, ” father, isn’t that simple? Someone must have sent him the cherries. Then, he heard that the place of origin of these cherries is under your jurisdiction. Therefore, he specially sent a letter to ask you. Isn’t he hoping that you can send more cherries to him? ”
