Chapter 7: The Strange Lychee Tree
There are piles of weeds in the backyard, blocking the previous path from being visible. As far as the eye can see, only a few fruit trees stand beside the tall wall.
The wall was encircled by his grandfather when he was there, because wild boars and other wild beasts often came down on the mountain to plague the more than three acres of land that had been reclaimed behind the house, and there were many snakes, insects, rats and ants near the mountain forest, so he built a wall more than three meters high around the house. Most of the fruit trees on the side of the wall are wild varieties on the mountain, although the fruit is small, but it is delicious and juicy, these are planted when Le Lang came here, mainly because he likes, as long as he sees the fruit trees he likes, he will dig them back and plant, there are bala (that Ba Zai), white-flowered mango, bird pear, these are all he felt good after eating, so he dug one or two saplings under the tree and came back to plant, but after planting, he never took care of it, let him fend for himself.
Among them is a mulberry tree and a lychee tree, this mulberry tree is a branch that he cut off on someone else's tree when he went to steal mulberries to eat, and he thought it was delicious, but he didn't expect it to grow into a big tree now. The lychee tree was someone else's orchard who didn't want to cut it down, and after he saw it, he found a few partners and carried it back with great effort. Speaking of which, this lychee tree also grows strangely, it bears six, seven, or eight lychees every year, and there are less than nine anyway, but all of them are the size of a fist. People plant fruit trees just to make money, and no matter how big the fruit of this tree grows, if there are only a few of them, it will only occupy space over there. Le Lang dug it up and planted it in the backyard, not to mention, although this lychee grows less, it tastes really good, and it is big.
"Ah Lang, you see that this yard is like this, what are you doing, just find a few chickens and ducks to put here and raise them freely." Anyway, Naruto is too lazy to move, he thinks that it is better to fish if he has time, or it is not very good to find a place to sleep with a cat, what to clean up, a waste of youth.
"Okay, don't ramble here, you run faster than anyone else when you eat lychees, and if you weed, you will die or live, and you probably won't be less when I'm not there." Le Lang said angrily to Naruto.
"Uh······ Hehe, then, let's start tightly, otherwise it's going to be dark," Naruto the Watari was embarrassed and quickly changed the subject.
So, the two took hoes and firewood knives to cut up the mess of wood and weeds. Fortunately, this land used to be farmed, although it has not been planted for many years, but the soil is still loose, and the two of them are young and vigorous, full of vitality, and they have opened a large area at once.
"Hey, this one looks like a peach tree." Naruto raised his knife and looked at some weeds and shrubs next to him, he hadn't seen them for a few years, and he didn't know which garbage corner these things had run out of, and even some pine trees or something had grown.
Hearing the words of the ferryman Naruto, Le Lang walked over, this peach tree has the thickness of a calf, and it should be brought by a bird on the mountain.
"Let's just leave this one, it won't take up space anyway," Le Lang said as he walked over and looked at Naruto. The peach tree grew just short of the fence.
"This kind of mountain peach has no taste, it bites like wood, what is there to keep, it is better to cut the fire, I know an old man from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and then I will ask him to get you a few tender and juicy peaches to plant."
"It's better to keep it, it's not an eyesore anyway." Le Langli also ignored him.
"Oh, that's up to you." With that, Naruto buried himself in the draft again. But he cursed secretly in his heart; Silly hat one.
The garden of about three acres is obviously not something that two people can get in one afternoon, and Le Lang left after a while, because he was going to cook porridge, which was obviously a good excuse.
As a result, only the figure of Naruto the ferryman working hard and sweating like rain was left in the garden, and the voice of him secretly cursing Le Lang. Saburo sat on the stone pier next to him, eating a banana and watching Naruto work, like a little overseer. Lying on the side at three o'clock, staring at the fragrant banana that San Lang ate, he was just drooling, this vegetables, fruits, and meat eat everything, obviously an omnivore, it is estimated that he was too hungry before. Now at three o'clock, as soon as I see something, I will eat it violently, just look at its forever round belly and gradually growing body.
In the kitchen, Le Lang put the cooked porridge in a crockpot, this porridge added snake meat, hen, pig foreleg meat, after slow boiling for two or three hours, the taste is delicious, smell like a fairy. Le Lang couldn't help but secretly taste it, and was immediately attracted by the deliciousness, and ate three bowls in a row, if he didn't want to keep his stomach and wait for the evening to eat, he might have eaten until his stomach burst.
He killed the big grass carp that Naruto had brought, made a large pot of sauerkraut fish, and copied a few dishes. A big pot of sauerkraut fish, and a few dishes are enough for everyone to drink a pot, he dug out the lychee wine that was brewed before from the back garden, buried it in the ground for many years, and once opened, the wine was fragrant and overflowing with the wind.
"Lychee wine ······," Naruto, who was still working hard in the back garden, smelled the aroma of wine, threw down the hoe in his hand, and ran to the front yard, startling Saburo on the side, who couldn't even look at three o'clock with a "whoop woo" call.
"Smell it, race fairy." Le Lang took a deep breath, was immediately intoxicated by the thick aroma of wine, and said with emotion.
"Yes, thick like honey, crystal like white jade, sweet in the mouth, and high-grade." I don't know when, Naruto was already standing next to Le Lang, holding a wine spoon in his hand, the spoon was stained with wine, sticky like honey, and the corners of his mouth were still hanging with wine syrup, and he looked intoxicated.
"This is to be drunk at night, this is going to make you drink like this, and we will drink the northwest wind at night." Seeing that Naruto was still unsatisfied, Le Lang stretched out his long wine spoon and was about to reach into the wine jar, so he hurriedly stopped him and said to him.
"Drink the northwest wind, drink the northwest wind, I said, Ah Lang, you are too stingy, no wonder you can't marry a wife, you can't give up a little wine, and I helped you hoe the grass for a day." Naruto yelled at Rakunan.
Lelang has a hand in brewing, and in the past, Naruto used to secretly go to his back garden to dig up the wine he brewed and drink. This wine was brewed when Le Lang was at home before, and it has been buried in the ground and moistened by the earth's qi for several years, and the taste is many times better than before, no wonder Naruto looks like a monkey.
However, Le Lang still wouldn't let him drink, and Naruto had to put down the wine spoon and sit on the side sullenly.
