Chapter 11: It's Delicious
The four of them came to a wooden shed, Sun Tiansheng found a few new pairs of boots and came out, Tang Wen changed into boots and gloves, and when he saw Sun Tiansheng handing over a cowboy hat, he buckled it on his head and fastened the tie.
Lan Ling stood at Tang Wen's feet, its soles were small and round, when walking around Tang Wen, it seemed to be on tiptoe, the hair on its body was slightly shiny in the sunlight, and its round head was raised from time to time, like a noble cat.
"Lan Ling, you stay here, don't run around, I will find a way to cure you in the future. ”
Tang Wen knew that Lan Ling had spirituality, he whispered a few words, saw Lan Ling nodded lightly, and then ran to the house to bask in the sun.
"Oh, don't lose that cute little one, let's lock it up. Sun Tiansheng exclaimed when he saw Lan Ling walking away.
"Meow!" Lan Ling screamed with some dissatisfaction, and then held his ass to Sun Tiansheng, Tang Wen smiled when he saw this: "Lan Ling won't run, let's go." ”
Sun Tiansheng grinned at Lan Ling for a while, and when he saw that Lan Ling didn't pay attention to him at all, he had no choice but to take the basket and the four of them walked towards the Fiji orchard.
Fiji orchards are very large, and when he came to the fruit trees, Tang Wen found that the trees were thicker and taller than when viewed from a distance.
If you look up your neck, you can see Fiji fruits hanging under the leaves, but even if you jump, you can't touch them.
"See those fruit trees? There are baskets hanging from below. Sun Tiansheng pointed not far away and said.
Tang Wen nodded, he saw that the Fiji fruit there was obviously darker than the other fruits, and the edges were slightly dark red, several large bamboo baskets were tied to the branches by several thick ropes, and there were several long wooden sticks next to the trunk.
Charlie, who often helps out on farms, is familiar with Fiji fruit picking, saying: "Fiji fruits grow so tall that you have to climb up and carry them down in a basket when you pick them, and I'm very good at climbing trees, but a lot of people like to use sticks to knock them down." ”
Erin, who had never picked Fiji fruit by hand, was a little eager to try: "I'm not suitable for climbing trees in my long skirt today, so I can only use a stick, you have to be careful, don't be hit on the head by the falling fruit." ”
Sun Tiansheng personally selected a wooden stick for Erin, and when he saw Erin losing his balance after holding a long stick, he laughed and said, "Usually you don't want to come to the farm to help me pick fruits, but today I am very interested." ”
"It's not about drinking your vodka yet. Erin hadn't mastered the method yet, she swayed from side to side with the stick, and when she turned around and glared at Sun Tiansheng, the tip of the stick accidentally hung on the branch, and her feet were unstable and pounced on Charlie.
"Haha. Sun Tiansheng leaned back and smiled on the side, looked at Tang Wen and said, "Erin is a female drunkard, I came here most of the time to drink, do you want to pick a few fruits to try?"
Tang Wen spread his hands and said, "Erin is dancing with a stick here, I'm afraid that the two of us will fight with a stick for a while." ”
Sun Tiansheng laughed again when she heard this, but Erin was not convinced, and finally moved the stick under the Fiji fruit, she waved it excitedly, and the result was empty.
"Hey, sister, I see you better climb up, don't worry, I know you're wearing underwear and won't walk away. Charlie climbed onto the branch and shouted down.
"Do you want to be beaten down by me?" Erin roared at Charlie, Tang Wen saw that Erin had been fruitless, and he was ready to give it a try.
The wooden stick that was too thick was heavier, and the top would swing back and forth when it was too thin, Tang Wen had to choose one at random, he came to another fruit tree, saw a large piece of fruit and waved it hard, only to hear the sound of "pop", and the two fruits fell down in response.
"Ah, hit!"
Erin cheered when she saw it, threw the stick in her hand and ran over, Tang Wen was also very excited, squatted down and picked up one and looked at it, scratched her head and said, "The fruit is broken." ”
Although the surface of the Fiji fruit is not smooth with many small pits, it is still inevitably damaged if it falls from such a height, and Erin puts them in her pocket and says, "It's okay, we use it for wine." ”
Charlie climbed high like a monkey, but the position he chose was not very good, and he had no way out and had not seen the fruit, so he had no choice but to return in vain.
Tang Wen played a few more times with great interest, but this time he could only hit once three times.
"Whew, I haven't exercised for a long time, and my arm almost cramps. Tang Wen's arm holding the stick trembled, he felt that his neck was wet, he didn't expect to sweat so much in just ten minutes.
"Hehe, it's already very good, I couldn't beat a fruit like Erin at first, but now it's ......"
Sun Tiansheng smiled a little proudly, and when he saw Tang Wen and the others resting on the side, he casually took a stick in his hand and actually played it in his hand.
You must know that this stick is several meters long, and it is very difficult to play, but Sun Tiansheng seems to be very relaxed, and with a slight jump of his feet, he flips over the stick.
His movements were very natural and fast, Tang Wen only felt that Sun Tiansheng gently lifted the stick, and the two Fiji fruits fell "whoosh".
"Hey!"
Sun Tiansheng lifted his clothes with one free hand, and the two fruits fell right into his arms, Erin rushed over to take a look, the fruits were not damaged at all, she smacked her lips and said, "You are more like a monkey than Charlie." ”
Sun Tiansheng rolled his eyes, but fortunately, Tang Wen praised him for being cool and made him feel better.
"Okay, I only have one bottle of vodka, a few fruits are enough, there are leeks in the greenhouse over there, let's pick some and go back." "Sun Tiansheng said.
Under the dense fruit trees, he couldn't feel the heat of the sun at all, Tang Wen took off his hat and hung it around his neck, and the four of them walked a long distance before they came to a small leek garden.
"I guess it's the first time the third brother has seen our leeks here. Sun Tiansheng pretended to open the wooden door mysteriously, and then Tang Wen saw rows and rows of black soil, with some emerald green leaves growing on the soil surface, and the wide leaves were like "V" shapes to separate on both sides, he stepped forward and pulled out one with his hand, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be a green onion, but it was much bigger than the domestic green onion." ”
"I thought the same thing when I first saw green onions in Huaxia, third brother, look over there. Sun Tiansheng smiled and pointed to a few flower pots in the distance.
Tang Wen followed Sun Tiansheng's fingers and saw that some leeks in the flower pot had bloomed, and the petals were a little lilac.
"Some people like to use leeks as potted plants. Erin plucked a few leeks and shook off the dirt from them.
"One is enough to eat. Tang Wen sniffed it, and the taste was a little pungent.
The group then went to pick a few parsnip and Brussels sprouts and returned to the yard.
Brussels sprouts are similar to cabbage, and the parsnip is a bit like a radish, Sun Tiansheng said that the thing tastes very sweet when roasted, which makes Tang Wen think of roasted sweet potatoes.
