Chapter 685: Chopping Sugar Cane
A small cold air arrives. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info implies the official arrival of early autumn, getting up in the morning and wearing short sleeves will feel a burst of cold, especially living next to the mountain forest, the temperature is colder than the foot of the mountain.
"Cold air is finally here." Zhang Niu, who got up early in the morning, felt a burst of coldness, looked at the sugarcane swaying in the wind outside, and strode out.
There was a cold air, and the villagers began to dig sweet potatoes up the mountain, which had been kept long enough, and now they had to dig them back and put them at home, and even went to the mountains to get some pine needles back, which were used to keep out the cold.
Zhang Niu didn't want to go to the county seat much today, he hadn't finished reading the book he borrowed a few days ago, and he was looking at the cold air that suddenly came today, and he planned to store all the sugarcane outside.
Sugarcane is afraid of cold, especially now that a cold air is coming down, and this is not a tropical area, so sugarcane can't be left for too long and must be cut down and stacked together.
Although I usually eat some of them, there is still a lot of sugarcane around the pond.
After breakfast. Zhang Niu said this idea, cut down the sugarcane by the pond, and put it in a special wooden house, and then whoever wanted to eat sugarcane could go directly to the wooden house to get it.
Happy Xiaozhu should eat the most fat man, followed by Liu Wei, as long as these two guys take advantage of the little villain is not here, they will choose a thicker sugarcane to start.
"You clean the sugar cane in the morning, if you have time, the sweet potatoes in the back mountain should also be dug up, and my dad and I will go to the town to see how the furniture is doing."
As soon as he heard Xiaoyue's words, Zhang Niu remembered the timber that was transported to the town a few days ago, the new house was immediately renovated, and some of the furniture had to be replaced with new ones.
"Okay, you can go to your aunt's house and sit down, and your aunt let you go last time." Zhang Niu suddenly remembered his aunt's words, at this time, he should go over and sit down, otherwise there will be no time in the future.
After breakfast, Xu Tianyun watermelon went out, and his parents just rushed over with the car. If they don't come back at noon, let Zhang Niu take care of it by himself, and they won't be back until at least the evening.
Knowing that he was going to cut sugar cane today, the fat man chose to stay and help instead of going to the city, and there were a few employees here, although there were not many people but they were enough, so there was no need to worry about the lack of manpower.
I don't know if it's because the little villain has a strong sixth sense, or something else, but he has been staying in the sugar cane after the morning, taking care of his belongings and letting go of his belongings and lying outside.
Both of these guys have become the helpers of the little villains under the attack of sugar-coated cannonballs, and their black bodies lie outside, like an immovable hill.
"Let's start with the pond opposite, and we'll get it done later." Zhang Niu didn't dare to go up to find and cut sugar cane now, and he wanted to get a good night's sleep at night.
"The little villain is in it, it's really hard to mess with, but just leave a small part here at that time, or the sugar cane will freeze and spoil the sugarcane, then it won't be very delicious." Zhang Niu didn't dare to go up to cut sugar cane, and the fat man didn't dare to go up, and he was also worried about running in at night, not to mention that the door was locked, but with small gold and big ears, it was too easy to enter the house.
"That's fine, just leave this little place at that time." Anyway, the small fast place in front of you is the base camp of the little villain, and the rest is cut down.
The little villain lay inside, watching Zhang Niu and the fat man talking there, and then looking at the thick sugar cane next to him, and chose to continue lying here.
Here the six men began to chop the sugar cane, and quite a few sounds could be heard. Let the little villain who was lying there get up, and see the fallen sugar cane in the distance, and the smart little guy immediately knew that his sugar cane would not be saved.
The confused little misty was still lying there, watching the little ant in front of him move food, and he couldn't help but get a claw on his head, so he got up pitifully, rubbed his eyes with both paws, and looked unhappy.
There are a few red pandas here watching the ants, and in the end there are only a few females left to watch the ants, and they will tease the ants when they have nothing to do.
The little villain brought the little confused out and let him see the fallen sugar cane in the distance, and then pointed to the sugar cane in front of him, needless to say, he knew that he was saying, if he didn't watch his sugar cane, the sugar cane here would be gone.
The hazy red pandas just now knew that something was wrong there, and they ran out to find help, while the little villain also crawled somewhere else.
"I think there are thousands of pounds of sugarcane here this year." The fat man looked at the fallen sugar cane, and then looked at the sugar cane elsewhere, and had an approximate number in his heart.
Zhang Niu, who was behind the fat man, was in the sugarcane pile at this time, with a firewood knife in his hand, and cut off all the tails of the sugarcane, leaving green leaves all over the ground, which should be kept for planting next year.
Several other people are familiar with this sugarcane chopping, and they all have a small pile of sugarcane tails around them.
"A bundle of twenty sugar canes is fine."
When the sugarcane is scattered, it is still necessary to bundle it up, and then the bundles are placed, for fear that they will not know so they reminded that even if a bundle of twenty sugarcane, it has a weight of forty to fifty catties, and although the sugarcane here is not very thick, it is much thicker than the outside.
Sugar cane here is no better than in the south. Because it is subtropical, the sugarcane is very coarse, and even the number of knots is particularly long.
The number of sugarcane sections in the south is small, and it is relatively long, such sugarcane is sweet enough, most of the sugarcane are trafficked in from outside, but the sugarcane in Zhangjia Village is not like this, the geographical location is different, so that these sugarcane are not as tall as the sugarcane in the south, relatively short, and even the number of sections is more, and the sweetness is not very sufficient.
This also causes the sugarcane to be sold poorly, most of the people are planted to keep their own food, only a very few people sell these sugarcane, a sugarcane can be cut into three pieces, which is relatively long, and the sugarcane in the south can be cut out of six pieces of sugarcane with the same length, in this amount is far better than the sugarcane here.
Happy Xiaozhu's sugarcane, since the sprouts were extracted, Zhang Niu began to water with space water, so that these sugarcane growth is gratifying, although the sugarcane in some places has not been treated like this, but it also grows well, and there are villagers who plant sugarcane to ask, why the sugarcane in their fields is so different from Zhang Niu's here.
The sugarcane was moved out in bundles with a red rope, although it was a little troublesome to cut the sugarcane, and these sugarcane were taller than Zhang Niu, so it was inevitable that they would suffer some hardships, and the sugarcane leaves were always sharp, and if you were not careful, you would gently scratch a scar, and you would not feel it, only later.
This kind of thing is only done by Zhang Niu alone, and the fat man has long been hiding behind to tie up the sugarcane, and even cut the tail of the sugarcane.
"The sugarcane here has been cut down, and the pond here is going to dry up this year?" The fat man looked at the empty pond, and was a little uncomfortable for a while, and he was used to seeing the pond with sugar cane around him. Now I suddenly feel like something is missing.
Zhang Niu, who was busy looking down at the sugarcane, did not stop what he was doing, but continued to cut the sugarcane: "The pond will be dry in a few days, and it will be cleaned up thoroughly." ”
Approaching winter, the temperature is cold, the pond here is to be cleaned up, especially the yellow eel pond in front of you, the yellow eel and loach in it have not been caught, it is estimated that you can get a few hundred catties of yellow eel and loach out.
"What about the black fish pond next to it?" The fat man has always been thinking about this black fish. Although I don't have much blackfish fishing now, the allure of blackfish is still not bad at all.
"This is not dry, it is not easy to raise some black fish, if the dry pond is all sold, then it will be all small black fish, and I don't know how long to raise, so I can only keep it." Zhang Niu had thought about it before, but most of the places here have been completed, and when these black fish are left here for people to fish, it is also a good place to go.
This year, these ponds are surrounded by sugarcane, and next year the sugarcane may have to be planted in different places, and willow trees must be planted in these places, although there are a few willow trees by the pond, but they are not very used, so a lot of willow trees must be planted.
The fat man lowered his head and thought for a while, Ah Niu was right, if the black fish were all sold at once, although he made a sum of money, but next time he wanted to have a black fish fishing, it was estimated that it would take a long time, and it was not cost-effective to stay here.
When a pond came down, there were hundreds of bundles of sugar cane, and the leaves were all gathered together. And the fat man counted the sugarcane there, and Zhang Niu put the sugarcane tails together, and these should be put in the space to be preserved, although it can be placed outside, but if the temperature is cold, if it is not well preserved, then these sugarcanes will freeze to death.
"Two hundred and thirty bundles of sugar cane, it seems that there is not much sugar cane around the pond, but there is so much sugar cane when it is actually cut down." The fat man counted the sugar cane after a while.
"Tsk, there are thousands of catties of sugarcane here, which is really high."
"We don't have this kind of yield in the mountains, and these sugarcanes are very large."
Zhang Niu walked over and untied one of the bundles of sugarcane, took out a sugarcane, and after casually disposing of it with a firewood knife, he handed it to them in several sections: "Everyone is tired, eat a sugarcane and work again." ”
The sugarcane here is not planted in the field, and there is no soil on it, so it can be eaten directly after the skin is treated.
"It's so sweet, if you squeeze it to get juice, I think it will be very good." The fat man knew the taste when he took a bite, but it was a little inferior to the sugar cane from the little villain.
Zhang Niu also got one for himself, which is indeed more delicious than the sugarcane in the village, but I don't know whether to sell it in whole or get it to sell it in his own fruit supermarket?
Although there is nothing surprising about these sugarcanes, they do taste much better after being watered by the space water, and there should be no problems in the fruit supermarket.
"It's good, I'm going to get a few bundles for my friend." The fat man said unceremoniously, it's very good to use this to give away relatives.
"This is pollution-free sugarcane, and the sugarcane in the field is basically sprinkled with pesticides, so it is delicious with mine." Zhang Niu still knows a lot about the problem of planting sugarcane.
The most feared thing about planting sugarcane is the pests in the ground, so after the sugarcane grows to a certain stage, it is necessary to sprinkle a special medicinal powder, what is the specific name of this medicinal powder, Zhang Niu has forgotten, but he remembers that these medicinal powders can kill all creatures underground, even earthworms are not spared, it can be said that there is nothing crawling underneath the ground, and sugarcane can not be eaten with the effect of medicine is very harmful.
This is the most common thing in the village, and the naughty children will not steal the sugar cane, even if they don't want to.
"Of course, I didn't even watch you sprinkle fertilizer, I always thought that the geology here was fertile, otherwise these sugarcanes would grow like this, and now you let me go out and sell sugarcane, I won't buy sugarcane, the difference is too big."
"It's good to know, I plan to take some sugarcane and sell it in the store, the current sugarcane is a few cents a pound, and I put my own there to sell, and there should be no problem in selling it for two yuan a pound." Zhang Niu calculated, it is better to sell it in the supermarket.
"It's too cheap." Hearing this, the fat man immediately shook his head: "I dare to say that there is no problem with this taste to sell for four or five yuan a catty, everyone likes green food these days, even fruits are no exception, so I said that you price five yuan a catty, there is a colorful watermelon there, you only need a slight hint, this price will not be expensive." After all, you are selling colorful watermelons there, and with this drive, there is no problem in selling them at an ordinary price. ”
"He is worthy of being a businessman, and his words are the head and the way." Zhang Niu smiled, think about it, what the fat man said is very reasonable, the brand of colorful watermelon is there, if the price of these sugarcanes is too low, others will look at it differently in the fruit supermarket.
"Merchants are profitable, in some aspects, of course, you have to have a vision, you listen to me absolutely right, anyway, the fruits you sell here are better than those outside, so you can rest assured, by the way, the chestnuts in Maotou Mountain are ripe."
"Well, in a few days." Zhang Niu hadn't seen Maotou Mountain for some time, and it should be close to maturity.
"Now everyone is buying, a few dollars a catty, and even some people have gone up the mountain to pick up the leaks." The fat man has lived here for a long time, and he has not learned anything else, but he knows a lot of things in the village.
In this season, it is indeed normal for chestnuts to be a few pieces a pound.
"Are you going to pick up the leak?"
"I'm not tired of this body, I'm asking you to pay attention to your chestnuts, if someone comes up and steals chestnuts, it won't be worth it, especially those gangsters."
"So that's the case, then you can rest assured, those gangsters won't be so boring here." For these nearby gangsters, Zhang Niu is not worried at all.
