Chapter Eighty-Eight: Prickly Pear
Today is a double number, it is not a market day, and the streets are a little deserted when they arrive in the town, even the six shops of the supply and marketing cooperatives are only half open, and more than half of the rest of the shops with aborigines are not open, and the hawkers on the street are almost invisible.
But the market days in the neighboring towns are staggered, and the first stop they want to go to is the double number market.
First fill the stomach in Beidou, or eat noodles, as for dry food, only choose steamed buns, and the pot with water is really not easy to buy, and the clay pot in the village is not tightly covered, no way, I had to buy a few bottles of soda, luxury.
The bicycle sped up again, the wind ruffled the hair, but it couldn't blow the fire in the heart, after the Beidou about a kilometer, to the right into the two communes of Bayi and Flag, the land is sparsely populated, the mountain wall is steep, there is very little available land and farmland, but there is a lot of limestone.
The car did not stop, continued to move forward, to the three kilometers, the left hand side is the forward commune, and the right hand side is the auspicious commune, the middle of the river is the dividing line, the exposed outside of the soil color is a little red, this is the clay, locally called clay, can be fired pots, jars, clay pots, etc., almost not cost, ask workers to dig it.
"This is it, the cement plant will be built here!" Fang Dajun parked his bicycle on the side of the road.
Li Yulan gently slid off the back seat, "This is it, will it be too remote, you see that there are no houses around." ”
Fang Dajun said with a smile: "The cement factory is polluted, this kind of place is the most suitable!" ”
followed the two into this site, which was not too big, but it was enough to clean it up and build a cement factory. The cliff against this land is at least more than 100 zhang high, which is equivalent to a natural barrier, just because the ground is full of gravel, so there is no way to use it as land, even the weeds do not grow high, it belongs to the wasteland, and it is cheaper for him to use it to build a cement factory.
"Look, there's a prickly pear over there, it's already red." Li Yulan shouted happily.
Fang Dajun heard the sound and looked, sure enough, a large prickly pear grows on the edge of the big stone slightly on the top, the vine is covered with a small half of the stone surface, and dozens of fruits are red and hung on it, this is a common wild fruit in the mountains of Sichuan, Ya pear look, there are two kinds, the round one is not delicious, and it is only yellow when ripe. The oval is sweeter, and the place where the light is enough can be red, slightly smaller, only the size of a thumb, and it is covered with thorns, not only on the fruit, but also on the vine, as for the taste, it can chew out the sweetness after it is red, and it is a little rough, and the pomace cannot be swallowed, and half of the fruit is full of seeds.
But no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, and the friends who cut pigweed on the hillside every day will not let go of these snacks, and now they can encounter so many dozens of ripe fruits, how can they let go.
"Let's go, let's go pick." Fang Dajun greeted with great interest.
"Okay, but how do we climb up?" Li Yulan had a bitter face, the stone was too big to climb up.
"Hehe, don't you step on my shoulder and go up?" Fang Dajun casually proposed.
But I didn't think that Li Yulan would agree as soon as she heard it, and then pulled him to the big rock, quickly took off her shoes, and waited for him to grab Li Yulan's bare little feet, almost furious, uh!
"Dajun, I really stepped on your shoulders." When it came to the end, Li Yulan was a little embarrassed.
"Come on!" Fang Dajun stabilized his mind, and then used his hand as a ladder, sending Li Yulan to his shoulder, and secretly said in his heart: "This Nizi, it's so light, can you have ninety pounds." ”
Just as he was thinking nonsense, his left shoulder suddenly lightened, and his right shoulder also relaxed.
"Come up, wow, there are so many prickly pears!" Li Yulan shouted happily, she likes to eat sweets.
"Be careful, don't stab your hands."
Soon dozens of small prickly pears were thrown down, and Fang Dajun picked them up and piled them together, thinking that Li Yulan would take a little effort when she came down, but this Nizi was actually nimble, and it was easy to grab the stone wall and fall, making him regret missing the opportunity to hug nephrite.
"Why are you still stunned there, come and eat, it's so sweet." Li Yulan beckoned, a small half of the prickly pear had been bitten in her mouth, and the thorns on it dried out when ripe, and she could scrape it off with her fingernails.
"Yes, here we go!"
The bike was on the road again, and three kilometers further on, he was about to climb over a mountain range, when he heard a word of surprise in his ears.
"Open your mouth!" As soon as the voice fell, Li Yulan stretched out her little hand in front of her, pinching a peeled red prickly pear on her fingers, Fang Dajun's head instinctively moved, and he opened his mouth to bite it, not wanting to use too much force, and bit Li Yulan's fingers into his mouth together......
"Giggles, why do you like to bite your fingers like Xiaoqin!" Li Yulan chuckled, pulled her fingers out of his mouth indifferently, wiped her clothes casually, and began to peel the remaining prickly pears again.
Fang Dajun licked his lips, it tasted so good, and it was only then that he suddenly thought of a question, could it be that Li Yulan still didn't know what he was thinking? Did Jin Chi not say it, or did he not make it clear to her? So does Li Zhengyang know about this?
But even if Li Yulan didn't know it before, hasn't she noticed it yet? If a man is not interested in a woman, how can he go on a road trip together?
Is it that the women of this era are too simple, or is he too evil?
"What do you ask?"
"Eun, it's delicious, it's so sweet!"
"Giggles, then I'll feed you after I've peeled it, but you can't bite my finger anymore, it's itchy."
“……!”
The mountain road appeared in front of them, and the two of them could only get out of the car, Fang Dajun pushed the bicycle, looking at Li Yulan, who was smart-eyed next to him, he really couldn't believe that the other party would be so dull in terms of feelings, and couldn't help but ask: "Yulan, did Jin Chi tell you something?" Like something about me? ”
"Of course there is. Sister Jin Chi said that you are the best at deceiving people, but you have not deceived me. As soon as she talked about this, Li Yulan was very depressed, she really didn't find out that Fang Dajun was a liar.
Belch! "What about the rest? What else is there to say? ”
"No more!" Li Yulan shook her head and said.
Fang Dajun is now here to hope that Jin Chi has said something. Half an hour later, the two climbed to the top of the mountain, and then it was cool, the downhill road was not laborious, and they could glide all the way to the range of Xinchang Town.
"Wow, the mountains outside here are so short, and there are so many fields!" Li Yulan shouted.
"Well, how long has it been since you've been outside?" Fang Dajun asked casually.
"I haven't been out of Beidou since I was in elementary school, are there many mountains in Jing County where we are going?"
"Well, a lot, there are mountains within a radius of hundreds of miles. Why, you don't like mountains? ”
"No, I just want to see what it's like to be outside where there are no mountains, there must be a lot of farmland where you can grow a lot of food. There is also the sea, there are many fish in the sea, and if you want to eat meat, you go fishing. Li Yulan said longingly.
Fang Dajun couldn't help but think of the text "On the Other Side of the Mountain", "When I was a child, I often crouched at the window and wondered, what is on the other side of the mountain? My mother told me: the sea! Oh, is there a sea on the other side of the mountain? So, with a secret hope, one day I finally climbed to the top of the mountain, but I came back almost crying, and on the other side of the mountain, it was still a mountain! ”
"Look, it's Xinchang Town over there, it's too poorly planned, there are so many wide plains outside, and the town is actually built in a mountain bend." Fang Dajun pointed ahead, the speed of the bicycle was only more than ten yards, and it would theoretically take about four hours to ride to the county, but he was carrying a person, and the speed would be greatly reduced, and he was a little tired at this time, so he simply went to Xinchang Town to have lunch and said.
Li Yulan answered: "I think it's good to repair in the bend of the mountain, and don't waste farmland." ”
Fang Dajun could only smile bitterly, and what he didn't know was that in a few years, this market town would be abandoned, and the entire town would be relocated outside, this situation was not uncommon in the Huaxia region, with economic development, the previous planning could not keep up with the times, and countless new urban areas appeared in various places.
"Dajun, I heard that Xinchang Town can grow watermelons, do you still sell them now?"
"Hehe, it's out of season, what, do you like to eat watermelon?"
"I like it, watermelon is very sweet, I like to eat sweet things." Li Yulan said embarrassedly.
Something sweet? Fang Dajun remembered his psychology, sped up, and galloped all the way to the market town, he chose to ride a bicycle not entirely for the sake of picking up girls, but also wanted to conduct market research first.
