Chapter 147: The Death of the Peach

Early in the morning, the fat man and his family all set out to go to Taoyuan. Members braids, old revolutionaries, old medicine, Kiki holding a small bench, three elated hairy monkeys.

The happiest is the Mao Mao brother, as the peaches on the tree are getting redder and redder, these guys are getting more and more excited, and they have been secretly picking in the back garden several times, and the fat man has already shown a lot of evidence on the ground - when he walks in the aisle, he can step on a peach pit under his feet.

Based on the excellent performance of Maomao Caisong Tower, the fat man also decided to ask them to join the picking team and work hard to cultivate them into a backbone force.

The monkey spirit also seems to know that it can eat peaches justifiably, so one is more joyful than the other. The shadow in Da Mao Ermao's heart that was planted by the monkey trickster before also dissipated in the fat man's house.

When they arrived at the deer farm, the team expanded further, and the three old men also took the initiative to ask to join the battle. So the family took a basket of dirt and slaughtered the peach orchard.

The peach tree grows strong, almost a man tall, and its branches are crushed by the heavy large peaches, which makes it easier to pick.

As far as the eye can see, the garden is full of red dots, just like the smiling face of a little girl. When I got closer, the peaches were the size of a fat man's fist - what, the fat man's fist was one size bigger than the average person.

The peaches are hidden in the narrow green leaves, which is a bit like holding the pipa and half-covering the face. There was a layer of fine fluff hanging on it, and before it could get closer, a sweet fragrance had already penetrated into the nose, teasing the cravings in everyone's stomach.

Without waiting for the fat man's order, the three monkey heads climbed up the tree and began to pick peaches. When the fat man saw that they were so proactive, he was about to offer praise, but he saw that the brother was clicking and his mouth was full of juice.

The fat man was angry, and threw the earthen basket in his hand to the ground: "Let's start eating first, and then work when we have eaten enough." ”

Everyone got one, rubbed the hair on it a few times with their hands, and then started eating. The flesh is soft and smooth, melts in the mouth, is juicy and sweet, fragrant and fragrant, and it is really a good peach.

Kiki doesn't use anyone else. You have to do it yourself. Place the small bench under the branch. Climb to the top. I can just reach out and pick a peach. Picked one of the largest. Peel off the skin slowly. The inside is pink. It's the same as her little face.

One man ate two peaches. I'm basically full. The fat man estimated it. Each peach probably costs four and a half pounds. Tall. Although only about thirty fruits were left on each tree. However, it is estimated that it can produce more than ten catties. So it seems. Five hundred peach trees. Five or six thousand catties of peaches are held by hand.

The old revolutionary also looked at the big peaches all over the trees and smiled: "It is worthy of being a fat man farming." Let it be. ”

Let's take a look. The big peach is round and slippery. Sure enough, it's chubby than a fat man. They all laughed in unison.

"I'm going to keep growing watermelons next year - start work. "The fat man doesn't care. With a wave of his hand, he gave the battle order. Everyone is like a forest of birds. Each found a big tree. Get busy.

The fat man holds his hands behind his back. Supervise the three monkeys. Show them around from time to time. Pay special attention to the monkey's paw and don't rush too much. Scratch the big peaches. Soon. This brother has the essentials. Well done decently.

"Fatty, the basket is full, where do you put these peaches?" the old medicine man came over with a basket full of peaches.

The fat man scratched his head: "Forget this stubble, it's thousands of catties, how can there be so many baskets?"

"Why don't you borrow some from someone else?" said the old man.

"Today, every family picks peaches, and it is estimated that even the grain hoards will have to be used - what, just pour this first, and I will be responsible for transporting them to my home. The fat man opened the old medicine and put the peaches directly into the wooden box.

After a while, the big braid also came out with the basket, and when he saw that there was no one around, he handed it directly to the fat man: "Quickly put it on." ”

The fat man smiled, deliberately showed off, put his hands on the basket beam, and yelled in his mouth: The basket with peaches disappeared out of thin air in front of the big braid.

The two big eyes of the big braid also widened, and he was stunned for a long time before he said, "Brother Huang, you give me the basket." ”

By noon, the peaches had almost been picked, and the peach grove had turned green, leaving only a few hundred unripe peaches hanging from the branches.

Everyone was tired enough, only the three hairy monkeys were still in good spirits. They are quick with their hands and feet, and they are the three people who pick the most of the group, and of course, they eat the most peaches.

The fat man also did not hesitate to give them high praise: "If you do a good job, I will hire you all to collect fruit for others in the future, and it will be three dollars a day." ”

"Fat uncle, you really want to be Huang Shiren. Kiki was a little angry.

"They eat and drink all day without being abused, and they can develop physically and mentally, but of course they can't just eat and not work. Starting today, their diet is strictly restricted, from eating four peaches in the morning and three in the evening, to four in the morning and four in the evening. The fat man was happy in his heart and talked nonsense.

Everyone laughed, and the fatigue on their bodies faded a lot. Only the old revolutionary saw more than ten baskets of peaches on the ground, and wondered in his heart: "Fat man, we don't seem to pick less, where did we go?"

"It's all transported to the deer farm, and it's still in the sun. The fat man said confidently.

The big pigtail hurriedly changed the topic: let's go home first to rest, and then eat. Brother Huang, hurry up, it is estimated that everyone should come to weigh in the afternoon. ”

Sure enough, as expected by the big braids, a few people just put down the dishes and chopsticks, and there was a lot of noise outside.

The fat man touched the back of his head: "I said I was going to sell peaches, so I sent them all." Tell you, don't even think about taking it back when you send it, and when you buy the money, I'll take it and run away. ”

"Ran

You can still run away from the temple, there is Qiqi here, I don't believe you can still run the jade girl, fat man, you are the gossip put by the child, no matter how high you fly, the rope is held in the hands of others. Bigfoot unceremoniously exposed the fat man's lies.

I'm unlucky, hurry up and get on the scales, uncle, boss, look at the scales, I'll count, let's put the peaches like last year, and we have to run more than 100 miles. ”

When the joke was over, the fat man got down to business. There are many people who work hard, the car boss's son, sister-in-law, and Captain Li's family are large, and the output is 1,000 catties, and the others who buy dozens of trees are only a few hundred catties. Looking at the baskets of red peaches, I was envious and vowed to plant more this autumn.

There are more that are produced on the trees in the front and back yards of their own homes, the number is small, the size is small, the fat man puts this part alone, the quality of the peaches is different, and the estimated price is definitely different.

In the evening, the fat man's door became a peach mountain, and everyone grinned: "There are so many peaches, how can you transport them out." ”

Although the fat man can easily solve this problem, however, it is best not to cheat on such a thing, first, it is easy to expose, and secondly, you can't count on the box for everything, you still have to show everyone's potential.

But now the road has not yet begun to be repaired, these dozens of miles of mountain roads, if transported by horse-drawn carriage, the peaches will definitely have to be bumpy, there is no way, but also to carry forward the fine tradition of hard work: using people on their backs.

There are a lot more peaches this year than last year, so together with Captain Li, each family has two strong laborers, and a transportation team composed of more than 200 people was quickly established.

In his busy schedule, the fat man also took time to go to the deer farm and take away the fragrant roe deer named Xia Xiang from the zoo. happened to go to the provincial capital by the way, Xia Xiang was tired of Xiangxiang for more than a month, and his stomach also grew in a hurry, and the fat man was also honored to complete the task.

In addition, the eggs and goose eggs of these two months must also be sold once. The fat man is looking forward to building the road now, otherwise he will always be so upside down, and sooner or later he will have to show his stuffing.

In the evening, they had a full meal of war, and then they set out on the road under the moonlight. Good fellow, it was as if he had gone out on the march to fight.

There were more than 20 wagons at the front, ready to transport the peaches to the county after they got on the road. Peaches are afraid of being squeezed and pressed, so there is not much in a cart, so for this reason, the carriages of the whole village are dispatched.

The backing of the mountain is so good, the family's business is the whole tunzi's business, and you don't even need to greet it, and you can come over to help with the work.

The summer night was breezy and there was no heat during the day, and everyone walked and cheered, and gradually, the topic began to be serious.

The team is full of old men, and there are no women, so some people start talking about meat jokes. It is said that in rural areas, there are special storytellers and fortune tellers, and most of them are blind people who take children. In the winter leisure season, the villages wander, playing the strings and saying the big drum book.

In the middle of the night, the old men began to coax: "Mr. Blind, let's have a meat meal." ”

In this case, Mr. Blind usually gives face, but he has to nag as usual: "What's that, have the big girls and little daughters-in-law left?"

Everyone replied, "Leave early." ”

"What about the babies?"

"They all slept. ”

Mr. Blind started singing. There was also the naughty girl and daughter-in-law, who quietly walked the window and listened with a red face.

The most common song is "Eighteen Touches", which is widely circulated and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people; However, there are absolutely no **naked erotic jokes, it is mostly a kind of obscure flirtation, which makes your heart itch.

Between the mountain roads, from time to time, a rough voice sounds, singing a rough tune, and there is also a local atmosphere. Under the cover of the night, some people who are usually more stable also hummed:

"Beat the drum tightly and beat the gong slowly, stop the gong and stop the drum to listen to the singing, all kinds of gossip also sing, listen to me sing eighteen touch ......" and then touch all the way, it is to describe the scene of the bride when the bride is married, the groom unties the bride's clothes, glamorous but not obscene, and the style is more graceful.

Of course, there is a version with more Northeast characteristics: "The red sun is rolling and falling on the west slope, and the little couple sits on the kang and touches the eighteen ......" What, this should belong to the bold faction.

The fat man really heard the eighteen touches for the first time, and when he used to watch Lu Ding Ji, Wei Xiaobao always hummed this tune, but the words and sentences are different, and I think they are all integrated into some local characteristics.

Singing the minor tune of the mountain song like this, a group of old men carried a hundred and ten pounds of dirt hoards on their backs, and walked thirty or forty miles of mountain roads in a daze, and when the sky was bright, they got on the highway.

The car owner looked at his watch, it was just after three o'clock, and this month was the shortest time for night. So he commanded everyone to load the carts, and the twenty wagons were loaded to the brim. There is no way, the peaches are afraid of pressure, so they can only be stacked in one layer.

With a flick of the whip, the carriage lined up, which was even more spectacular than when the grain was handed over. The bells on the horse's neck jingled, the hooves clicked, quacked, and ran so happily.

The porters completed their tasks and all returned to the village, only the fat man and Captain Li followed the escort.

The convoy sprinkled the fruity fragrance all the way, and just after noon, they came to the county seat.

Familiar with the way, go directly to the fruit company. The fat man, Captain Li and the car boss went in first, and asked excitedly: "We are here to sell peaches, how much is a pound this year?"

A salesman glanced at them: "No, tens of thousands of catties have been transported in from neighboring counties, and they are all rotten, and they haven't been sold yet." This year, the rain is light, the peaches are not tasty, and there are few people buying them - what, where are you, do you have a purchase contract?"

The three of them stared at each other: It seems a little bad...... (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to 6, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
