Chapter 251: Apple

The pigs fed collectively in the village were sold to the food station in August of the lunar calendar, and 58 pigs were sold for a total of 4,783 yuan, with an average of more than 80 yuan per family. Everyone said: "Don't look at us being affected by the disaster, just raise pigs, and work with them for a year to earn more." ”

On the seventh day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, grandma took Youyou to Pingcheng. When I entered the yard, I cleaned up the kitchen first, and I had to live here for a week, and I couldn't lose myself in food.

The kitchen is lit with charcoal stoves, and the pots and pans are all taken out of the space, which is clean and hygienic.

Then clean the house and put it on the bed, Grandma Yang sometimes lives here, otherwise the mother and daughter will rest directly in the space, and there is no need to clean up the house at all.

Grandma is now accustomed to the space, and often takes the initiative to go into the space to rest, take a bath, massage and care, which is really comfortable.

After the food and lodging were cleaned up, the mother and mother went out. At the grocery store, I bought it on a large scale. There are more than 10 people in the family, and they all rely on selling vegetables, but fortunately, the cellar of Youyou's house is not flooded, and the vegetables can be stored in the cellar for a few days.

Seeing that there were mooncakes sold in the store, my grandmother went to the non-staple food factory to approve a hundred catties of mooncakes, and asked my uncle to take them back tomorrow.

It was already past eleven o'clock when I transported the greens home. Grandma took Yoyo to the hotel, and Yoyo likes to eat sweets here. Before we have a meal, there are few people inside, so hurry up and ask for more.

Yoyo is now familiar with the way, and he will order food when he enters. Sweet and sour tenderloin, sweet and sour carp, sweet and sour pork ribs. Grandma also ordered more than a dozen dishes in one go, and asked for ten catties of biscuits. When the mother and wife came, they brought a food box, put it in the food box after it was done, and went out to ask for a tricycle.

When I returned home, I had a big meal, and after eating, I took my grandmother into the space to rest. The two slept until three o'clock in the afternoon, and then came out of the space to see the fruit trees in the courtyard.

The yellow peaches are ripe, the peach fragrance is rich, and the yard is fragrant. Grandma couldn't do it, and urged Youyou, "Hurry up and take out the two baskets." ”

Yoyo put the basket on the ground and walked around. It was found that several grafted "July fresh" dates were ripe. Quickly release a few robots and go up the tree to pick dates. The jujube trees are all grafted from the original trees, and grandma can't reach them herself.

"July fresh" jujube fruit is uniform, the skin is thin, dark red, sweet taste, fine flesh, and it is very suitable for fresh food. You eat one, it is crisp and sweet, and it is very delicious.

The apples are also ripe, and they are kept for grandma to pick by herself, she likes to pick fruits. The ones you grow are all dwarf varieties, and it is the first year to hang fruits, and the number is not much, so let her old man pick it and play with it.

Turning to the back garden, Yoyo carefully looked at the grafted dwarf rootstocks, basically all of them survived, and saw the vigorous growth of apple seedlings, Yoyo felt that this was a vault.

Think about it when it first opened, the apple seedlings were sold for more than ten yuan a piece, and at least 5,000 seedlings were produced on my own acre, which was 70,000 or 80,000 yuan.

In fact, the apple seedlings in his yard are a disguise, and what Yoyo really wants to sell is the fruit tree seedlings in the space. When it first opened, the market was so chaotic, there was a way to say it.

Grandma picked the yellow peaches, and when she saw the fresh dates picked by Youyou, she grabbed a handful and ate them, and said in her mouth: "In your space, all fruits are divided into morning and evening, and even the dates are several varieties, so there are not fresh fruits to eat all year round." ”

Grandma, you have the truth.

After dinner, Grandma took Yoyo to the front yard, where she put enough cement, sand and lime plaster. When my uncle goes back tomorrow, let him take it back.

It was just six o'clock in the morning when the uncle arrived, they unloaded the car, and the grandmother hurriedly went out to buy breakfast, and brought a stainless steel medium-sized pot on the back rack of the bicycle.

Grandma bought Pingcheng's famous meat bun and spicy soup, fried meat buns, layer by layer of meat, five or six layers stacked together, very delicious.

The first time you ate it, your stomach was round, and your eyes were still looking at the meat buns cut into pieces on the plate. Grandma laughed at her: "This is called gluttony, and I can't eat it." ”

The eldest aunt smiled and said, "Aunt, don't talk about you, I haven't eaten it for more than ten years, and I haven't bought it in these years." Aunt, you bought it there. ”

"It didn't turn out that there was, but I only saw it today, they said that there were more meat sellers on the fifteenth day, and today is the first time to sell it. I bought a lot, don't forget to carry it when I go back later. ”

The uncle said to his grandmother: "Auntie, look at this situation, the pigs we raise in the future will be easy to sell." When I came, I passed through the puddle, and it was just dawn, and there were two meat sellers on the market, and there were really people buying them. ”

After listening to his uncle's words, it seems that his uncle's foresight is quite strong, and he sees signs of loosening the market by selling meat in the market.

After the meal, the uncle and the others took a short rest, loaded cement and other materials, vegetables and fruits and mooncakes, and went back.

Grandma then went to pick apples, and when she saw the red fruit, she ate one first. It is sweet and delicious, soft in the mouth, and suitable for the elderly.

"Yoyo, what kind of variety is this, it looks similar to a red banana, better than a red banana, and it's not astringent at all. ”

"Grandma, this is the snake fruit of country M, especially suitable for the elderly and young children, with little water content and easy storage, but it is not the red banana you said. We also have red bananas in our yard, and we have to wait a few days to pick them. ”

"This year, in leap August, the apples are not in a hurry, and the red bananas are picked early, and they taste more astringent. ”

Red banana apples are a traditional local variety, large and brightly colored, ripe with a hint of yellow on the inside. The appearance is exceptional. The ripe fruit is fragrant and delicious, with a slight astringency, but after a few days, it will be much better.

Red bananas and apples have a soft taste, which is more suitable for the elderly and children, and the ripening period is generally in early September, which is generally the beginning of August of the lunar calendar, and is the first choice for local relatives to give gifts during the August Festival.

However, this year's leap August, I have to pick it in advance, anyway, I have grown in size, and the appearance is also hung with red, but it is red with green, and it looks good, but the astringency is big, and the taste is slightly worse.

The biggest disadvantage of red banana apples is that they are not resistant to storage, and they will start to go bad after a few days at room temperature. In the 80s, apple cultivation was booming, and the dominant variety was the red banana.

When people live a good life, they all want baskets, and when they see the bad ones eat first, and the next day they will have bad ones, and it has become a vicious circle. People also made up a slip: "Eat the bad and keep the good, and keep the good and look bad." ”

I really can't eat it, so I dig up and wash the bad apples and make them into applesauce, which can be stored for more than a month.

At present, there are basically two varieties of local apples, Jin Shuai and Red Banana. The ripe Jin Shuai is golden in color, sweet and sour, and has a good taste. There is a shortcoming, the appearance is rusty, and the rust color is patchy, which makes people feel uncomfortable looking at it. Therefore, people generally do not use it to go to relatives.

There is also an early-ripening slippery apple, with a smooth skin, a large size, and a red and yellow color, but the taste is more sour, and the taste is poor when it is listed early, and generally no one buys it, and the price is low.

The late-maturing variety is only "Indian green", which is small, the fruit shape is flat and a little biased, the sugar content is high, with a bit of rock sugar flavor, the entrance is crisp, the taste is excellent, and it is also shelf-stable, and it can be put at room temperature in the next spring. However, the production is low, the appearance is poor, and people buy very little.
