Chapter 181: Apple Picking
Jennifer didn't know what Lu Dao thought, and had no intention of taking Angel back at all, Lingna left a bag of clothes, and hurried back without saying a word, leaving a message for Li Han to help take care of Angel. Li Han simply does not take Anqi as a guest, there is a lot of farm work in the morning, chickens and ducks have to be cleaned, cattle, sheep and horse sheds, vegetables and so on.
"New jeans, let's put them on first, let's work first, and then we should have the money for last night's breakfast. Li Han and Dudu, baby, changed into sling overalls and denim early, and said to Angel who was confused with tools.
Today is the day of cleaning the chicken coop and duck cage once every three days, Li Han waited for Angel to change his clothes, pushed the plastic car and set off, Dudu and the baby sat on the handlebar and shook their calves one left and one right, Angel reluctantly followed, pouting and full of confusion, looking like he hadn't woken up, and he was swaying when he walked, even then he didn't forget to wave his fist at Li Han's back angrily. Li Hanle was happy, this little chubby girl, came to the chicken coop, Dudu and the baby jumped down from the small cart, carried a small basket into the chicken coop, and picked up eggs with their feet, and there were many eggs in the hay nests on the shelves on the side of the chicken coop.
The two little guys carefully picked it up and put it in the basket, and on the other side, Li Han opened the cage and said to Anqi. "The chicken manure has to be cleaned here, don't stand, come in. "It's hot chicken manure, but Anqi's twisting can't work, and the chicken manure is loaded in a small cart and pushed to the septic tank. Three or four times back and forth, the chicken coop was almost cleaned, and Dudu and the baby carried a small basket full of eggs, placed them in the basket, transported them back, and placed them in the vegetable supermarket to sell them for money.
Li Han raised more than 100 local chickens, and used some stewed chicken soup for a while, and the fox that chickens are most afraid of is not far away, and there are usually fish and shrimp to eat, and he is not interested in chickens. As for the bald eagles in the sky, Li Han killed a few of them in a trap. I didn't see many eagles hovering in the sky at this time. The chicken coop and duck coop are finished, the trolley is cleaned, the basket is put in the trolley, and Dudu and the baby climb on the trolley and sit on the handle.
Dudu said, snapping his fingers. "Dad, there are a lot fewer eggs. "Well, uncle, the baby only picked up one basket. "The baby can usually pick up a basket and a half," Li Han said with a smile. "When it's cold, there are fewer eggs for chicks. Tomorrow we will fix the chicken coop and make it warmer, and the chicks will lay more eggs. "Hmm. The two little guys nodded their little heads vigorously, and Angel on the side swayed. "I'm hungry. ”
"Teacher Anqi, I can't eat yet, and I still have a lot of work to do before I eat. "The chicken coop was cleaned for half an hour, there was milk to be milked, the barn stables and a few lambs, and the alpaca and sheepfold to be cleaned. Dudu folded his hands and counted them to Angel.
Angel's eyes widened, this breakfast was so difficult, Angel didn't want to do it, but Dudu and the baby were both working. Angel swayed and shoveled cow dung, who wanted to step on it without paying attention, the cow dung splashed everywhere, splashing the two little guys who were cleaning and the baby's little boots were all yes, the two little guys stopped their work and looked at Angel with a small plastic shovel and a small mouth. Teachers are stupid.
Cleaning the cowshed, sheepfold, sweeping. Li Han drove a small farmer's cart to transport some feed, fed a meal in the morning, and then rushed to the pasture, although it was not far, but the little lamb was particularly naughty, running around, Dudu and the baby chased for a while to catch back, the little white-tailed deer and alpaca are better, like to play with Dudu and the baby.
Xiaobai and Dabai are both well-behaved and obedient, Xiaohongjube and Dahei ignore people, and Li Han must personally drive them, and the two cows are the most troublesome. Cleaning the enclosure, rushing to the pasture, almost half of the work in the morning, the vegetable mother and Aunt Xu picked about the same, loaded the basket and carried it to the flatbed truck, drove the tractor to the flat place in front of the small building and moved it down and piled it up and waited for the supermarket car. "No wonder, there's a piece of wood missing, damn termites. ”
Li Han checked, there was something wrong with the windmill, and I don't know when a nest of termites came to the windmill house. "Let's go, let's eat first, go pick apples, and come back to clean up. Li Han took Dudu and the baby back to the small building, and with breakfast, Anqi fell asleep on the sofa tiredly.
Li Han said to Dudu to call the teacher up for breakfast, and Dudu ran to the sofa and pushed Anqi. "Teacher Anqi, it's time to eat, after eating, it's fun to pick apples. "Zhilu said, I really want to sleep. ”
"However, Teacher Angel slept for a long time, and Dad said that the little lazy pig only slept for a long time. Dudu Chunchun's big eyes blinked, and Angel shook her head helplessly. "Go and wash your face with cold water, and your spirit will be much better. ”
Li Han found that Angel seemed to be more sleepy, it was rare to be sick, breakfast was simple and refreshing, side dishes and rice porridge bread, Angel felt that breakfast tasted so good for the first time, tired in the morning, not to mention how fragrant it was. Dudu and the baby both ate a big bowl of rice porridge, plus a large piece of bread, an egg and half a salted duck egg, plus a glass of fresh milk.
Li Han sandwiched some dishes for Angel. "Chinese breakfast you may not be used to, eat more. "It's the first time that Angel has someone to eat breakfast and someone to serve her own vegetables, and the family is not so used to it. "Thank you. ”
Anderson's apple orchard is divided into two parts, one part is planted with new varieties of Red Marshal and Gold Marshal, high-quality apples are mainly supplied to large supermarkets and exports, and then there are smaller apple orchards, planting red apples, purple apples and yellow apples, three kinds of dwarf tree apples, used to pick, from Friday to Saturday, many foreign tourists or town residents will drive over to pick.
The price is not expensive, but usually pickers need to line up to buy picking bags, small bags for $20 each, can pick about 10 pounds of apples, and up to 4 people into the garden, large bags for $30 apiece, can pick 20 pounds of apples, and can enter the garden for up to 6 people.
When Li Han arrived, there were many cars parked in the parking lot, and Li Han first took everyone to visit Anderson. "Hi Han, welcome. Anderson hugged and welcomed Han Lee. "A little gift. Li Han handed the red wine in his hand to Anderson. "That's good, Work No. 1, thank you, Han. ”
Michelle and Lisi greet Dudu and the baby, but Lisi is a little hostile to Angel, Angel is lazy and follows Li Han, and Anderson's wife greets Mom and Aunt Xu. "Anderson. There are quite a lot of people in front. ”
"Nice weekend, Han, coffee. Anderson prepared coffee, apple juice, apple pie, and snacks early to greet the Li Han family. After resting for a while, Anderson took Li Han's family to the entrance to get two bags, Liz and Michelle were responsible for entertaining Li Han, Anderson accompanied him for a while and left, there were still many things on the farm that Anderson needed to do. There are more than 1,000 acres of dwarf apple orchards for picking. It's quite big, and Liz and Michelle led the way in a big flatbed cart and walked around the apple orchard.
There are a lot of little ones picking apples, and they are gnawing while picking, and how much they eat is not a money. There are water tanks around the picking garden, you can wash apples at any time, the small apple trees are not high, Dudu and the baby, Michelle can pick them. But there are a lot of drops, ask Lis, after picking the staff will pick it up, clean it, sell it at a low price, or make apple products, of course, don't break it, squeeze the juice dregs for the farm cattle, sheep and horses.
I met a lot of families along the way, and when I came out to play on the weekend, I was in a good mood and nodded and smiled to say hello. Li Han tasted it really good, the purple is the most beautiful, the yellow is a little golden, and the quality is quite high. Li Han picked some purple and yellow. Playing around, picking apples and taking them outside to juice, no money is needed, of course, apple pomace has to be left on the farm. The entrance is not far away. There is a small shop selling chilled apple juice and apple products, and the business is quite good.
After picking apples for a long time, the family was a little tired. I came to the grove not far from the side and found a chair to sit down and rest, there are many chairs and resting places around, which is very good. "Thank you. Li Han took the juice and handed it to his mother and Aunt Xu first, of course, he didn't forget Angel, and provoked Lisi to puff out her mouth. "Hmph, Han, you are not allowed to be nice to her. "Cut. Angel snorted and drank the juice to herself, but it made Lisy angry.
"Uncle, where are we going?" "Hehe, go, don't run too far." Li Han nodded, not far away wooden huts, small trains, slides are worth it, swings, a simple playground, and a juicer, a small shop, corn flowers for sale, and there are a lot of little guys.
Dudu, the baby followed Michelle to play, and Lisi came to Li Han's side. "Han, who is she?" "Angel, Pandora and the baby's ballet teacher. Li Han looked at the little guys playing in the distance and said casually.
"Oh. Lisi still didn't let go of Angel, staring at Angel with wide eyes, Angel said seemingly casually. "Han, who is this child?" "I'm not a child." Angel pursed her lips, looked up and down, and sighed.
Lisi was angry and pointed at Angel and called the little fat girl, Angel was not calm, and the two girls made a fuss. Fortunately, it was noisy and noisy, and there was no fight, Li Han didn't care, leaning on the bench and closing his eyes to recuperate. "Huh. Li Han opened his eyes suddenly, yes, there was a group of Chinese tourists, familiar voices.
Mom and Aunt Xu are very happy, thousands of chats, chatting very well, most of the Chinese tourists who come to the United States are still very good, especially those who can come to Chris's manor to play, they are worth a little, the rich are not necessarily of high quality, but most of the high quality are rich or not.
It is rare to meet domestic tourists, Li Han stepped forward to chat a few words, but I didn't expect these people to have heard of Li Han Hank Farm, especially Hank Manor beer, and the tour guide also recommended it. I don't know what to do with Hank Farm, and these people have said to go for a drink in the evening.
Li Han also said happily, to give a twenty percent discount, chatted for a while, Li Han's family and everyone said goodbye, with Lisi to visit the golden apple and red apple orchards, these two apple orchards are not open to picking, apples are large, the price is high, the most expensive to export to China is more than ten dollars a pound, belongs to high-end apples. Lisy and Michelle picked two bags and gave them to Baby and Dudu, the apples were large, and the big one weighed nearly a pound.
Back at the farm, Michelle's parents happened to come back on the weekend, and expressed their gratitude to Li Han for taking care of Michelle, Michelle's parents are both working in the city, and only come back on weekends, fortunately, the farm is big, please have employees, don't have to be busy with Anderson, relatively speaking, it is much easier, usually, Anderson's biggest job is to take care of Lu's beloved horse and Michelle.
