Chapter 146: Banana Picking
In the banana grove in the morning light, the banana leaves grow densely, leaving no gaps, and the emerald green color is dazzling and bright.
Crystal dew drops slip on the fan-like banana leaves, waiting for the sun to evaporate.
On some of the banana trees, large and small bananas grow on the branches, the banana peels are green and shiny, and they are neatly arranged in rows, hanging upside down, like countless hands.
Some trees have only flowers on them, and the top of the flowers is a red stamen, and inside they are pregnant with bananas.
This banana grove welcomes people.
The sound of the two little girls laughing and talking, crisp and pleasant, came from not far away.
"Erni, you say, how many bananas should we pick?"
This is Lin Xiaoguo's voice, and the other little girl's voice is relatively low.
"I don't want so many, I only need ten, and the bananas will go bad soon. ”
"No, Erni, it's too little, where is ten sticks enough for your family to eat. Brother, are you right?"
Lin Tian looked at the two innocent little girls, smiled, and said, "I estimate that there are not many ripe ones in the field now, and there are only one or two ripe ones."
However, Erni, you Brother Tian and I don't have much, and there is always a lot of money for you to carry two bags. Xiaoguo is right, ten is not enough to eat for a few days, too little. ”
Erni said weakly: "Brother Xiaotian, my mother said that this banana is for your family to sell for money, I can't ask for too much, ten is enough." ”
Lin Tian touched the top of her head and said with a smile: "It's okay, don't expect this little banana to be developed, don't be polite to me." If your mother says you, say I shoehorned it into you. ”
Erni nodded timidly.
Erni is a very dark and thin little girl, a child of the sixth aunt's family.
The sixth aunt gave birth to a lot of children, a total of four children, three daughters and a son, Erni is the second in the family, there are many children in the family, often can't eat, hungry and thin.
After Lin Tian's family's economy improved, Wang Cuijuan walked with Aunt Liu, often invited them to go to the market together, and did everything together, so even the relationship between Lin Xiaoguo and Erni improved.
Lin Tian can often see the picture of Lin Xiaoguo and Erni playing together, there were no playmates in the village before, but after having Erni, Lin Xiaoguo is happy, and often uses her toys to play with Erni.
Girls are nothing more than playing with the house or something, and Lin Tian found out that they have been making clothes out of rags for dolls recently.
This morning, Lin Xiaoguo rushed to him and told him that she wanted to eat bananas, and asked him if the bananas at home were ripe.
Unexpectedly, when she went out, she made an appointment with Erni. Lin Tian guessed that the banana was not what Lin Xiaoguo wanted to eat, but Erni wanted to eat.
This banana grove did not belong to Lin Tian before, but was contracted by Lin Tian from the villagers.
At that time, Lin Tian had no plan to sell the fruit to Pei Lei, but he thought that he would be able to eat bananas in the future, so he contracted the bananas.
He had come to see the banana grove before, and he had improved one of the fast-ripening bananas to the aura, and brought a few for the red hair, and kept them for his own consumption.
After a while, most of the bananas were ready to be picked, and he had to think about what to do with them.
Recently, the online store has been almost underway, and Hayashida intends to launch bananas as the first products.
With the help of Li Lizhen's two sisters and brothers, Lin Tian doesn't have to worry about those trivial things.
He takes care of the fish pond every day, walks here and there, patrols the crops, and takes a few photos and videos to upload to social software. When encountering crops that need to be improved by aura, they will do it easily, and tell Li Lizhen to contact Pei Leifang to determine the delivery time.
As for the watering, fertilization and weeding that ordinary farmers need to do, they are not used here in the forest fields.
Even in the picking process, Lin Tian only occasionally came to supervise the work, mainly his mother and sixth aunt were taking care of it, and a group of women were chatting and chatting after the work, and they could make money happily.
However, in order to improve their work efficiency, Lin Tian set the standard of remuneration as a pound of money.
As much as an individual can pick, how much money can be obtained, if they want to work hard to make money, they will naturally work hard, and if they want to chat and don't want to make money, it is also their choice.
According to Lin Tian's observations, the women of Linjia Village are still working hard.
Lin Tian began to take them into the banana forest, looking for bananas to pick.
There are not a few bananas that bear fruit, and some banana trees have brackets to lift them up to prevent the heavy fruit from weighing it down.
After a while, Lin Tian found a banana that could be picked, the banana skin was light green and yellow, the symbol of ripeness on the tree, and it could be eaten after picking it for a day or two.
This banana looks very shiny, and Erni can't help but drool when she stands under the tree and looks at it.
Lin Tian took out a long sickle from the sack, this banana tree is not high, and the fruit Lin Tian can get.
He looked at the clothes worn by the two little girls, and said to them, "I'm going to start cutting, stay away, be careful not to stain your clothes." The sap from the banana tree gets on the clothes and is particularly difficult to wash. ”
Lin Xiaoguo said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, I have worn out the old clothes I used to wear." ”
Lin Xiaoguo pulled Erni back a few steps and said to her, "My brother is very powerful, he can pick bananas alone." When the bananas are picked, we take them home and fry them to eat. I've never tried to fry banana chips with tiles. ”
Erni said excitedly, "Okay, okay!"
Hearing the innocent conversation between the two little girls, Lin Tian also thought it was funny.
This kind of playhouse activity of frying banana chips has been played by most rural children, and it can be said to be an enlightenment activity of stir-frying.
Take two bricks and put a tile on top to make a simple stove with firewood in the middle.
Cut the bananas into slices and spread them on the tiles one by one and fry them until the skin is slightly charred.
The flavor of this fried banana slice is more crispy and hot than that of raw bananas, adding a bit of novelty to the taste.
Children love to play this game, and most of them find ways to create their own snacks because they don't have money to buy snacks at home.
Lin Tian also played with Bai Ling when he was a child, and most of the time Bai Ling was doing things, and Lin Tian was responsible for eating.
However, this should be done in an open place. Otherwise, children are not strong in fire control, and if the wind blows carelessly, it may burn the crops, and there has been no shortage of such things in the past, causing economic losses.
Therefore, many parents begin to instill in their children when they are young that they cannot play with fire, because playing with fire will wet the bed at night.
This is easier for younger children, but not when they are older, they learn about it in school.
Lin Xiaoguo said confidently: "Brother, I know. Right where we kilned the chickens last time, it was safe to make a fire there. ”
Lin Tian smiled, Lin Xiaoguo was really well prepared, and even the location was thought of.
