Chapter 52 Little Fruit Picking Expert (Carrying Chemical Fiber Bags to Collect Tickets~~)
The fruit trees in this orchard are peach plums and emerald pears, which were common in the south in previous years.
If it had been placed 20 years ago, this batch of fruit trees would have been carefully cared for, and it would have been possible to sell it for a fairly good price.
However, in recent years, the rate of renewal of excellent varieties of fruits has been rapid.
Traditional varieties of fruits, over the course of a year, can earn back the cost of pesticides and fertilizers, picking labor costs, and insect control bags, which is good.
Fruit is cheap and hurts farmers, so it is not surprising that the fruit trees in Guiyuan Village, which are in the bumper production period, are abandoned here.
Because of the lack of fertilizer, the lack of fruit thinning and pruning, and the dense weeds on the ground competing for nutrients, these trees have a large number of fruits, but they are small, less than a third of their species.
Qin Xu had just eaten the small emerald pear, and felt that it tasted good, so he decided to find the pear tree first.
The pear tree is in the terraced fields at a higher place, and the little pig Xiangxiang gets into it, which is not a big problem, but it is very troublesome to change to Qin Xu, a big man.
Fortunately, Qin Xu held a sharp weapon in his hand and directly used the slashing trick he had just practiced for an hour.
The sharp sickle, combined with Qin Xufeng's knife roll, weeds and opens the way, which is first-class and fast.
Although due to physical limitations, he was unable to enter the state, but the weeding efficiency was good.
The little pig Xiangxiang cleverly guessed that Qin Xu was ready to deal with the fruits on the tree that it had coveted for a long time, but had never been able to reach, and actively and happily helped Qin Xu lead the way.
After about half an hour of chopping, Qin Xu finally cleared the weeds around almost thirty fruit trees.
There are peach trees, there are red plum trees, and there are peach trees.
Qin Xu also found several orange trees and grapefruit trees, which bear green fruits, and it will take about another two or three months before they can be picked.
These fruit trees seem to have been dwarfed, one is only about two meters tall, Qin Xu is one meter ninety-five, a big man with long hands and feet, stretching out his hand, tiptoeing, at most pulling down the branches at the heights, basically the fruits on the tree can be picked.
At first, Qin Xu still looked at which one was big, which one was good-looking, and which one was not bitten by insects, so he took the small scissors on the multi-functional knife, cut it off with a click, and after cutting it, threw it into the chemical fiber feed bag hanging on his waist.
After cutting a few, he heard Xiangxiang the little pig at his feet a little restless.
Qin Xu lowered his head, only to see the little pig Xiangxiang leaning his head high, his round eyes seemed to be expressing something, his nostrils continued to expand and shrink, and the sound of "whooping and chirping" in his mouth never stopped.
"Old Master Qin, translate it!" Qin Xu shouted at the top of his voice.
Old Master Qin was sitting at the top of the pear tree at this time, holding the rabbit deeply.
"The little guy said that two of the fruits you picked were hollowed out by insects, three were too light, and two were rotten, and only the last one was barely eaten. Old Master Qin's voice came faintly from the treetops.
"......" He is not the fat brother who was drunk yesterday, he is a professional fruit picker, and he is a professional picker.
Qin Xu simply threw away all the pears in the chemical fiber feed bag.
"Okay, Master Qin, help me interpret it at the same time, and tell it that when I pick the fruit, I will 'whoop' if I can eat it, and 'hum' if I can't eat it. ”
Old Master Qin floated the pronunciation of the little pig language again.
"Hum, Purr, Woo......"
Come on, this simultaneous interpretation has to be imitated by yourself.
When Qin Xu finished learning, he heard the little pig Xiangxiang's constant "whooping" response.
What does this mean, presumably?
Just take it as an agreement.
Qin Xu continued to pick the green pears on the tree.
This one looks good.
As soon as Qin Xu touched it, the little pig Xiangxiang immediately screamed "hum and chirp".
Oh, I didn't expect it to be an embroidered pillow, which is useless.
Qin Xu planned to pick a pear with a particularly tender and beautiful skin in the high place.
"Hmph, haw!" The little pig's fragrant cry was obviously dissatisfied, and without the simultaneous interpretation of Old Master Qin, Qin Xu could hear that it despised his own level of fruit picking.
Qin Xu was extremely angry.
With a wave of his hand, he came across a pear that was covered with a layer of ugly bumps and had no appetite when he looked at it.
"Whoa!"
The little pig Xiangxiang let out a series of "whoop" screams, and her forelimbs were still stomping on the ground excitedly, obviously super fond of the taste of this emerald pear.
All right!
Qin Xu admits defeat.
He picks it a hundred times, but he won't choose it.
So ugly!
When you see it, you lose your appetite.
After a few "snorts" from Xiao Xiangzhu, Qin Xu gradually found experience.
In the subsequent picking, his hand touched the fruit that did not grow well.
I didn't expect that there was a chance that I would be picked by Piggy Xiangxiang.
With the "whooping" and "humming" sounds of the piglet's fragrance, there are more and more pears in the chemical fiber feed bag, and the pear tree is almost picked, so it will be replaced by the next one.
Among the fruit trees that were cleaned up by Qin Xu, there were only five green pear trees, all of which were brutally murdered, and Xiao Lizi filled a chemical fiber bag.
Peaches and plums are the same.
However, the fruits of peaches and plums are thinner and more tender than those of green pears with thick skin, making them more susceptible to insect bites.
The more ripe, sweet and delicious the fruit, the easier it is to attract insects.
The delicious ones are gnawed, and the unpalatable pigs can't look down on them.
Therefore, the number of fruits that can be picked by these two fruit trees is not much, and after wandering around for a long time, the neck is sore, and the sun is about to set, so I can barely pick two-thirds of the chemical fiber bag.
But it tastes so good.
A small peach, half red, looks not much bigger than a hairy peach, but when the skin is torn open, the pungent peach fragrance hits you head-on.
Peaches are originally more fragrant than pears, and when Qin Xu was resting, he peeled a small peach, and before he ate it, he felt fruity when he smelled it.
When the sun was only half on the mountain, Qin Xu was about to prepare to go home. He reluctantly glanced at the fruit trees that were submerged in the weeds and vines, wondering if the fruits hanging on the trees would last until his next day of rest.
Whether he has it or not, he has to come here next time when he is free.
If you can't pick the fruit, help weed the grapefruit and oranges, and maybe you can have a good harvest in a few months.
Divide the fruits of the two bags evenly, and then use the tenacious vine branches to tie the openings of the two chemical fiber bags firmly, leaving a small opening, Qin Xu broke a thick branch of an unknown variety of wild wood, and used a multi-functional knife to cut out two grooves at both ends of the thick branch with a thick wrist.
Then he hung two heavy bags on both ends of the thick branches, one in front of the other, and tossed out a simple flat pole.
This time the preparation was not sufficient, and when I came back, I had to get a more convenient tool to transport the fruit.
The little pig Xiangxiang was bouncing in front of him, and Qin Xu carried the fruit and slowly left the fruit grove.
Old Master Qin sat cross-legged at one end of Qin Xu's flat arm, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and he stretched out a little finger with a happy face, and said loudly to Qin Xu: "Old Master remembered another set of exercises!"
