Chapter 168: Selling Longan
"Why?" Lelang was lying on the bed texting.
There was a flash of light in the dark room, and a cool breeze was quietly blowing in from outside.
San Lang saw the flickering light on Le Lang's side, muttered a few words in his mouth, turned over, and fell asleep.
Le Lang has to press his mobile phone stupidly every night for half a day before sleeping, and sometimes he laughs stupidly, San Lang thinks that Le Lang laughs more stupidly than three o'clock.
"Just finished busy and want to sleep? What about you? Cai Shaoqing was lying on the bed and texting, smiling stupidly. Yu'er, the good sister on the side, walked out of the bathroom with her freshly washed hair, and shook her head helplessly when she saw her like that.
"Missed you!"
"How much I want to."
"Think so much, think so much."
I don't know how many times they have flipped through such meaty and boring content, but the two seem to be happy with it, as always, I have to say that infatuated men and women are really silly and cute
In the morning, when the sun reached the buttocks, Le Langcai and San Lang slowly crawled out of the bed.
Brush your teeth and wash your face, and then exercise in the yard, and when you finish breakfast, it's already past nine o'clock, if you want to say that San Lang has grown like this, half of it is Lelang's bad.
After eating, Le Lang walked out of the yard and walked under the longan tree next to the house, the longan here is almost ready to be picked, and he has been much more diligent in pouring the spring water in the jade Ruyi space these days.
Walking around the orchard, followed by a string of guys, Saburo, Baiqiu and Xiaoxiong, stayed at three o'clock to watch the yard.
Bai Qiu and Xiao Xiong are now about the same size as three o'clock, and they have the appearance of a mighty lion, Le Lang doesn't dare to let them go out easily, and sometimes he puts them into the jade Ruyi space, for fear of scaring others, they don't look as cute as three o'clock. When I was a child, it was okay, but when I grew up, I already showed an awe-inspiring majesty, which made people look panicked.
Walking under the longan tree and seeing the full old eyes, Le Lang couldn't help nodding again and again. Coming to a longan tree with a lot of fruits, he picked a handful of longan from the tree, gave some to San Lang, and peeled out a longan by himself and put it in his mouth, sweet and silky, with thin skin and thick flesh and small core, better than any kind of longan he had eaten before. It seems that the reason for the spring water in the jade Ruyi space is that it didn't seem to be so delicious before, and it is estimated that he poured it out with the spring water in the jade Ruyi space. The spring water in the space can obviously improve the varieties of fruit trees, and can make some bad varieties into good varieties, and the good ones are better than better.
Fujian longan has a long history, and there are even legends about longan among the people.
Legend has it that a long time ago, there was an evil dragon in Fujian, and every August when the sea tide was high, it would come by the tide, stir up wind and waves, destroy crops, destroy houses, and kill countless people and animals. The surrounding people fled their homes and took refuge in the caves in the mountains.
There was a young man with strong martial arts in the local area, named Guiyuan. He saw that the evil dragon was making waves and harming the Quartet, and he was determined to eliminate the harm for the people.
In August, when the tide came, he prepared a large amount of liquor and pork and mutton and mixed them together. After the evil dragon came ashore, when he saw so much pig and mutton, he was so hungry that his saliva flowed down, and he ate a lot of pig and mutton in a few bites. Because the pork and mutton were soaked in a lot of wine, the dragon didn't wait for the dragon to go far, and then he fell drunk and fell to the ground without moving.
Seeing that the evil dragon was drunk, Gui Yuan walked out of the hiding place, raised the steel knife, and stabbed the dragon into the left eye fiercely, and the dragon's eye was stabbed out by the sharp steel knife at once. The dragon woke up in pain, rolling and roaring on the ground, and seeing the blood flow and his strength gradually exhausted, the dragon was about to flee back into the sea.
How could Longan let it get his way, grabbed the dragon's horns, and rode on the evil dragon. The dragon struggled in pain, trying to get rid of the longan on his back, and Guiyuan stabbed the steel knife into its other remaining right eye, and the dragon lost both eyes and screamed in pain.
The evil dragon who was blinded by the longan screamed miserably, endured the pain and pounced on the longan who pierced its eyes, and after a struggle, the evil dragon finally died because of excessive bleeding. And Gui Yuan also died of blood loss due to being seriously injured in the fight with the evil dragon.
When people came to the place where Guiyuan and the evil dragon fought, they looked at the dead Guiyuan and cried out in pain. Eventually, the people held back their cries and buried the dragon and longan.
After many years, a fruit tree grows in this place, because the seeds of this tree resemble the eyes of the evil dragon, so people call it "longan", and in order to commemorate the longan that killed the evil dragon, people call the dried longan "longan", so that people can commemorate his kindness from generation to generation.
Longan is also called "Yuan Meat" is a more elegant name, and it is called longan dry in popular terms.
Seeing Le Lang and San Lang eating over there with longan, Xiao Xiong and Bai Qiu, who came out with them, suddenly shouted at them dissatisfied.
The animals in Lelang's house don't know how to feed well, they eat everything, they eat everything at three o'clock and say that they used to be hungry and scared, but it's a bit strange that everything else is like this. Just like Xiaoxiong and Baiqiu are calling here, don't think they are unreasonable, they can really eat longan, and they will spit out the core, which is terrible, and Le Lang was stunned when he saw them eating lychees for the first time.
Seeing them barking, San Lang just didn't step on them, just ate them by himself, Xiaoxiong and Baiqiu's greedy harazi both flowed down, Le Lang saw their pitiful appearance, and peeled a few for them, which was a little better.
The longan forest that Le Lang saw was next to his house, and there were some more by the lake, all of which were planted by his grandfather before, and after seeing this side, he planned to go to the lake to take a look. Got out of the woods and was about to walk towards the lake, when he saw Shen Min coming on a motorcycle, followed by a small car, seeing Lelang, Shen Min shouted loudly and rode a motorcycle to his side.
Motorcycles and cars drove up to the front of Lelang and stopped.
Shen Min got out of the car and said to Le Lang: "Ah Lang, don't you want to sell longan?" There's a big boss here who wants to buy it, so you can take it and see it. ”
Le Lang looked at Shen Min and patted him on the shoulder, he really had nothing to say about these friends, just like Shen Min, when he heard that he was going to sell longan, he called around to ask people, although it didn't matter if he sold it or not, but this affection was enough.
"Hello, I'm buying longan, you want to sell it, let's go to your orchard and have a look." The boss who bought the longan said to Le Lang as soon as he got out of the car.
Recently, he wanted to get a batch of better longan to go to the north, and he was not very satisfied with several places, so he came to take a look when he heard Shenmin call, and there were still a few places to see later, so he was a little anxious.
Le Lang looked at this person with a straight surname and nodded, such a person is good, he is more honest in receiving things, and he will not play tricks, so he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's go, this way." ”
As he spoke, he took him and turned his head to his family's longan garden.
When he came to Longan Garden, Le Lang pointed and said, "This piece of longan is mine, and so is the one by the lake below." ”
The person who bought the longan looked at it and nodded, "Well, it's quite big." After speaking, he took off the low-hanging longan casually, put it in his mouth and tried it, and immediately glared, "Hmm."
After trying the taste, he didn't make a sound, picked a little longan one by one and tried it, almost every one of them tried it again, and he didn't stop after trying, and said to Lelang: "Let's go to the ones below to have a look." He said that he went down first.
Seeing him like this, Le Lang and Shen Min looked at each other and smiled, and followed.
The man came to the lake, tried the longan one by one, nodded, and said to Le Lang: "Well, the longan on your side is good, the skin is thin, the flesh is thick and the core is small, it is even better than 'Chu Liang', it's incredible." ”
After speaking, he paused, thought for a while and said: "That's it, I like to go straight in business, I don't like to beat around the bush, I won't cheat you, now even the 'Chu Liang' longan is only eight yuan a catty, and it is still the market price, I will give you eight yuan at the market price, how about it." ”
Le Lang looked at him, thought about it and nodded, this price has exceeded the price in his heart by more than double, he thought at first that it would be about the same if it could be sold for about four yuan, but he didn't expect to sell it for a high price.
The person who bought the longan looked at Le's hands and rubbed his hands, although he gave Lelang a high price, but his longans were shipped to the north, which was doubled, and the operation was good, not only.
"By the way, do you plan to sell this longan after picking it or give me the whole plant, if you give me the whole plant, you don't have to bother to call someone to pick it, I will ask someone to pick it. Look at what's going on. The person who bought the longan asked Lelang again.
"How?" Le Lang asked.
"If it's plucked, of course it's eight yuan a catty, if it's a whole tree, let's guess the weight, I see that your one is about two hundred catties, even if you are two hundred and fifty catties, how about it, even if I earn more, if I earn less, it's a loss to me." Look at which one you want. The boss who bought the longan said to Lelang.
Le Lang glanced at Shen Min next to him and asked, "How is it, which one do you feel good?" ”
Shen Min thought for a while and said, "It's easier to give it to him, but be careful not to break the branches, otherwise you will have to harvest a lot less next year." ”
"No, the ones I found are all farmer brothers, good at picking longans, and they won't do this kind of thing." The man who bought the longan patted his chest and said.
