Chapter 10 Borrowing an electric tricycle
It took two hours for Ye Rongrong to fill six baskets of longan fruits, each basket weighed at least one hundred and twenty or thirty catties, not counting when Ye Rongrong picked them, he secretly hid a lot of longan fruits into the Qiankun ring, adding up to no less than a thousand catties.
"Husband, there are still a lot of longan fruits on the tree. ”
When Liu Jingqing saw his man coming down from the tree, he reminded him. You must know that there are still one or two hundred catties of longan fruit on this tree that have not been picked.
"This longan fruit is so delicious, let's keep some for ourselves." Ye Rongrong said with a smile. You know, longan fruit is a good thing.
Longan has a variety of effects such as strengthening ~ yang and invigorating qi, nourishing the heart and spleen, nourishing blood and soothing the nerves, moisturizing and beautifying, and can treat anemia, palpitations, insomnia, forgetfulness, neurasthenia and post-illness and postpartum weakness. It also has the effect of beauty and longevity. In addition, the leaves, flowers, roots, and nuclei of longan can be used as medicine. Longan trees are hard and have delicate and beautiful textures, which is the raw material for making high-end furniture, and can be carved into various exquisite handicrafts.
In many places in the south of the Yangtze River, postpartum women have to use longan stewed black chicken to nourish their bodies when they are confined, so that there will be no sequelae after giving birth, and they are still strong and fragrant.
"But we can't eat all the longan. ”
Liu Jingqing said, although this longan fruit is very delicious, but just the two of them in their own family, even if they eat it every day, they can't eat it for half a month, and besides, this longan fruit is ripe, and it can't be put on the tree for a long time, it will fall, and after picking it, it is not easy to keep fresh, if you don't put it in the refrigerator, it may be bad on such a hot day, three or four days.
"We can pick some sun-dried dried longan (longan), there are 100 catties of longan fruit left on the two trees, we eat it slowly, even if the people in the village see it, there is nothing, few people in the village come to us, they will definitely not remember whether our longan tree has bloomed and fruited, as long as the amount is not much, everyone will not doubt it." Ye Rongrong said.
Longan can be baked into dried longan, but it is more troublesome, and it has to be cut into grains and baked with charcoal fire. There is a small kiln in the village that is specially used to dry longan, baking is not a problem, it is troublesome, and the dried longan after baking is not easy to mold, smell and rot. If you keep it well, it won't be a problem to leave it for a year or two.
And the taste of dried longan is particularly sweet, like honey, it is also very delicious, it can be used to stew chicken, duck, goose, etc., not only tastes good, but also very tonic, it is a rare tonic. “
"But I can't do longan?"
Liu Jingqing said with some embarrassment, since she was a child, she has lived the life of a "big lady", where can she do these things, housework such as washing dishes and cooking, and she only learned it after marrying into the Ye family.
"Hehe, you won't be okay, your husband. Ye Rongrong said happily.
When I was a child, if there was any dried longan in the village, Ye Rongrong and many children in the village would gather to watch the adults bake dried longan, because as long as the dried longan was baked, these little children around the side could grab a handful and eat it, so Ye Rongrong, who had baked dried longan countless times, was confident that he could also bake delicious dried longan.
"I've never eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run!" Ye Rongrong secretly thought in his heart, if he couldn't even bake such a simple longan to dry himself, he would be embarrassed to say that he was a rural person.
"Husband, you're awesome!" Liu Jingqing said happily.
"What did you just say?"
Ye Rongrong asked with some uncertainty, you must know that since this Liu Jingjing married her, she has always looked down on herself, and she didn't even want to say more to herself, but now she actually praised herself as "awesome", which made Ye Rongrong a little unbelievable.
"I said my husband is awesome now and will do anything. Liu Jingqing looked at Ye Rongrong gently, and said with certainty, although it was only two days, Liu Jingqing found that his man had changed a lot, and he became so capable, so mysterious, and so attractive to himself.
"Hehe, that's because you didn't pay attention to your man before, you will find that your man will have a lot of things in the future, be a woman for me, how happy you are. ”
Ye Rongrong said smugly, now that he has this "lazy system", he is quite a cheat, and his future is limitless, hehe......
"Come on, praise you, and you'll kick your nose in the face. ”
Liu Jingqing scolded with a smile, Liu Jingqing likes such a man a little, Liu Jingqing does not have high requirements for his man, it would be good if he could maintain such humor, humor, and responsibility in the future.
"Huh. ”
Ye Rongrong looked at Liu Jingqing and smiled stupidly, his woman looks so beautiful now.
"Husband, what are you looking at stupidly?" Liu Jingqing touched his face with some confusion and asked, is there anything dirty on his face?
"Wife, you are so beautiful. Ye Rongrong said from the bottom of his heart.
"Nasty. ”
Liu Jingqing glanced at Ye Rongrong and said coquettishly, I don't know why, hearing his man look at him like this and say that he is beautiful, Liu Jingqing's heart is very sweet.
"Wife, I'm going to the fifth grandfather's house to borrow an electric tricycle now, and I'll drive to the county seat after breakfast. Ye Rongrong said.
The "fifth grandfather" in Ye Rongrong's mouth is Ye Rongrong's grandfather's brother, named Ye Xianglai, Ye Rongrong's grandfather has seven brothers and two sisters, and he ranks fifth among Ye Rongrong's grandfathers.
Ye Rongrong's fifth grandfather, Ye Xianglai, is 65 years old this year, living by breeding chickens and ducks, and in order to facilitate the purchase and sale of things in the town, he spent 4,000 Huaxia coins to buy an electric tricycle the year before last.
In fact, this kind of electric tricycle is more practical in the countryside, not only because its price is cheap, many rural people can accept it, but also because the rural roads are not very good, many places cars can not drive in, but this kind of tricycle is easy to drive in these road sections.
And this kind of electric tricycle does not consume fuel, as long as it is fully charged, it can carry thousands of pounds of things, and there is no problem in driving for four or five hours in a row.
The fifth grandfather Ye has always lived in the north of Taoyuan Village, which is also the most populous place in the entire Taoyuan Village, with seventy or eighty families living in the north of the village, but now there are people in the village, including the elderly and children, and most of the middle and young people have gone out to work.
When Ye Rongrong came to the fifth grandfather's house, it happened that the fifth grandfather was squatting in the yard for breakfast.
"Well, why did Qiwa come to the fifth grandfather's house so early today?"
Ye Cheng looked at Ye Rongrong with some surprise and asked. Ye has always been very aware of the conduct of this grandchild of his family, a lazy man, he has never seen him get up so early.
When his parents were there, it was a little better, since his parents died, the beautiful daughter-in-law of his family couldn't control him at all, and she was the master who slept during the day and fooled around at night.
"Fifth Grandpa is early, I didn't come to Fifth Grandpa for something. ”
Ye Rongrong said with some respect, people in the countryside are very senior, etiquette, Ye Rongrong was a bastard in the past, when he saw these elders, he had to greet him obediently, be respectful, otherwise the spittle of the old and young people in the village can drown you.
"Your baby came to your fifth grandfather so early, there must be nothing good, is it in trouble, I want your fifth grandfather to tell you. ”
Ye has always asked helplessly. There is such a lone seedling left in his eldest brother's family now, if he has a three-long and two-short, he will be embarrassed to see his eldest brother after his death, and he will be a little sorry for the baby's parents. So since Ye Rongrong's parents died, Ye Rongrong has always been the one who cares about Ye Rongrong the most, and he also hates him because of iron and steel.
"Fifth grandfather, look at what you said, who didn't have a time when they were young and ignorant, I have changed it now, where will I get into trouble. Ye Rongrong hurriedly said.
"You changed it?"
Ye has always asked with some disbelief, yesterday I heard that this kid fell drunk on the road in the middle of the night, or his daughter-in-law asked someone to help him fight home, he now told himself that he had changed his ways, Ye has always really not believed it.
"Really, Fifth Grandpa, you have to believe me. Ye Rongrong said affirmatively.
"Well, I'll just believe you, then what is the matter with you looking for me so early. ”
Ye has always obviously not believed Ye Rongrong's words, but he doesn't delve too deeply into this matter, after all, as long as it is not a trouble, any alcoholism, or any gambling, this old man can only say a few words, and he can't care too much.
"Fifth grandfather, I want to borrow your electric tricycle to use. Ye Rongrong said the purpose of his visit this time.
"What? You're going to borrow my family's electric tricycle, stinky boy, you won't lose money playing cards, and you're going to beat your fifth grandfather with the idea, right?"
Ye always asked angrily. From Ye Xiang's point of view, it must be Ye Rongrong, a kid who lost money in a bet and had no money, and wanted to sell his electric tricycle for money to pay off his gambling debts......
