Chapter 1171: 1147. Titan Sunflower [2-in-1]
Song Tan looked up and said, "There are so, sotis even when it snows... But don’t bother looking, they’re definitely not tasty."
Not to ntion that the persimmons from Shitou Slope aren’t delicious and are only sold cheaply for the land, you can tell they’re not good just by seeing them hanging high, untouched even by birds.
However, these few persimmon trees bear a lot of fruit, and they ripen later, which is quite unique. Song Tan contemplated planting dozens of acres here, so he wouldn’t give up on them either:
"Maybe it’s too barren here. I’ll try burying so base fertilizer in the soil after a while."
Lun Chuan nodded and then laughed, "My mom loves these. Fire Crystal Persimmons, persimmon cakes, she loves them all."
Song Tan glanced at him, aningfully, "Oh... I’ll rember that!"
Lun Chuan couldn’t help but chuckle, "I really was just saying it casually..."
"What about you? What do you like to eat?" Song Tan was curious, "I’m not picky about ingredients. I can eat anything most people can eat, no special favorites, but I don’t like sweet dishes."
Her earnest report made Lun Chuan laugh again, "Should I send you a word docunt?"
Song Tan shook her head with a smile, "No need to send it, I know a bit—you aren’t picky about ingredients either but prefer dishes that are a feast for the senses. If two plates are set before you, you’ll definitely eat the prettier one first."
During the pig-killing feast, Lun Chuan ate slower than others, and Song Tan worried he wouldn’t get enough, so she watched closely several tis.
She noticed he preferred the prettier dishes first, then tried every plate, which was a surprising realization.
Now that she ntioned it, Lun Chuan was a bit surprised, "You..."
He was a bit bewildered: "Sorry, I didn’t pay attention to you..."
Song Tan didn’t mind: "What to observe? We weren’t sure of our relationship earlier. I just looked at you more since you look nice..."
Brother Xiaosun was just about to get on the excavator when he heard the two talking, and he was stunned, "You guys..."
Song Tan then rembered and quickly shook Lun Chuan’s hand and said, "Brother Xiaosun, I forgot to tell you, Lun Chuan and I are dating."
She was open about it, which made Brother Xiaosun blush a bit before stamring, "You guys... when did you start dating? So quick..."
When he confird his relationship with Tian Tian, they went back and forth in emotional turmoil, tugging at each other for months.
How co just in a blink, Song Tan is already dating soone? If he rembers correctly, her boyfriend hadn’t been around for long?
What, he didn’t just co to visit casually—he ca from afar to pursue a relationship? Otherwise, how could it be this fast?
Song Tan sighed, "Brother Xiaosun, I’ve wanted to say you guys were too dilly-dallying. We only live so many years; it takes months just to confirm a romantic relationship..."
Brother Xiaosun: ... Maybe you moving this fast is what’s not right!
Lun Chuan cleared his throat, "Um... this slope next to the road, should we put up a fence?"
Otherwise, people passing by from the village might grab a handful of flowers and plants along the way. The loss might not be much, but it’s an unpleasant sight.
Song Tan nodded, "Right, let’s arrange for soone to put up stakes and fences in a couple of days. These stones can hold the posts in place."
Lun Chuan nodded, "So, we’re definitely planting sunflowers, wild chrysanthemums, and Ai Cao here?"
"Yeah." Song Tan nodded, "The soil here isn’t as good as on the other slopes. Ai Cao and wild chrysanthemums can grow in rock crevices, no need for care."
"As for sunflowers... I haven’t planted them before, but it should work... What kind of sunflowers do you like?"
A soft creamy yellow flashed through Lun Chuan’s mind, and he instinctively blurted out, "White moonlight..."
When he noticed Song Tan’s curious look, he regained his senses and pointed to the slope saying:
"You’re definitely not planting sunflowers just for their looks but to harvest seeds, right? Then choose the one with the highest yield. The ones I like are ornantal flowers, which are certainly less productive."
"That doesn’t matter either."
Song Tan appeared carefree.
"If it were the beginning of the year, I definitely wouldn’t want to use good land for those things. But with next year’s land, along with the previous two lease contracts, there’s over 1000 acres now. We don’t lack this bit—if there’s any sunflower variety you’re interested in, let
know."
"Or other flowers too."
Interested?
Lun Chuan thought for a mont, "Then let’s try Titan."
He explained, "My previous house was a top-floor unit with a terrace, and Titan sunflowers can grow up to seven ters tall with flower heads about fifty to sixty centiters wide. I really didn’t have a pot big enough for them to take root..."
Even if they could grow, a strong wind could easily topple them, so despite being curious, Lun Chuan had never planted them.
