Chapter 66: Into the Mountains (2)
But the benefits of having Lu Yun and Xia Yuan involved are also extremely obvious. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Lu Yun's "big warehouse", the efficiency of collecting things is particularly high, only with her, a few times, you can easily collect the chestnuts in the chestnut forest, not to mention the point.
What's more important is that 'men and women are not tired of working together', even if Lu Aiguo needs to carry his daughter-in-law on the mountain road from time to time, he has never shouted tired, and his mood is very high.
Even if the road was a little slower, but at this time, the three of them sat in the shade of the tree while resting, while watching Lu Yun running around under the tree, brushing several trees The ripe chestnuts on the trees disappeared, and after brushing again, the ripe chestnuts on several trees disappeared......
The feeling of easily getting everything done, not to mention how happy and comfortable it is for those who watch it. Isn't it just that the road is a little slower, what's wrong? Didn't you see the pheasants, hares and wild eggs that were harvested halfway through?
Only Lu Yun's one after another, it was enough to keep them busy for several days.
People who have not beaten chestnuts from a tree, where can they know how tiring it is to beat chestnuts?
That is, you must first climb the tree, aim at the ripe chestnuts, and gently knock them down with a long bamboo pole, and be careful not to hurt the branches, so as not to reduce the yield next year. When the chestnuts are knocked down, they fall all over the ground, and the fluffy ones are all thorns, and when you pick them up, you will prick your hands. In addition, after bending over and bowing his head, he was tired and had a sore back, and at the end of the day, young adults like Rao is Lu Aiguo and Shi Shi would feel too tired.
"It seems that it was really right to bring Xiao Yun this time. Today, I think all these chestnuts will be able to be picked back. In the future, we can all come back at this time of year, and August is also the time of school holidays, which is called two no delays. Lu Aiguo was moved.
Generally, the season for chestnuts to ripen is in mid-September, but in this wild chestnut forest on the mountain of Yushu Village, most of the chestnuts are generally ripe in early August. At this time, there are few chestnuts, which are very easy to sell, and the price can be higher.
"There are so many things on this mountain, you can get almost everything all year round, lychee, longan, fig, watermelon, chestnut, banana, guava, mushroom, bamboo shoot, kiwi, persimmon, walnut, fresh peach, apple, pear...... It's just everything, but some are more than enough to sell, and some are small enough to eat. ”
Lu Aiguo's eyes looked around, and then looked back at Xia Yuan, and said with infinite regret.
"It's a pity that the mountain road is far away and difficult to walk. In previous years, I couldn't carry too many things out with just me and Shishi, so we could only pick expensive ones that could withstand the beating and take them out. Except for a small number of those that are easy to bump and take back to eat at home, most of them can only watch them rot and spoil. ”
"Earlier, I had to sell things secretly when I carried them out, for fear of being caught and being sued for speculation. In that way, I still made a lot of money with the stones, and I could save money in addition to my stomach. These two years are even better, we only hate ourselves for not growing two legs and two hands. If it weren't for the fact that most of the money earned had been repaired, how could the two of us only have so much cash on us? ”
"Now that Xiao Yun is here, we have taken advantage of the past few days to harvest the ripe fruits on the mountain, and we are still worried about losses. These things themselves have no capital, and they can be sold for net profit. So even if it's just for this treasure mountain, I really have to come back often in the future. ”
"Then you didn't have enough manpower before, why don't you call the eldest uncle and the second uncle's brothers?" Xia Yuan was curious, "What a pity to let those good things rot on the mountain?" ”
"Do you think anyone can come to this mountain?"
Lu Aiguo looked at Xia Yuan and smiled.
"Why is the second uncle relieved that I came with the stone? For we know how to discern the sights of wild beasts in the mountains. I also developed an intuition to know when there was danger and when it was safe - it was not easy to learn these things, it was all fought for. ”
"We can do it ourselves, and it's okay to take care of the two of you. But it wouldn't be enough to bring a few more people, and instead of worrying about them and delaying time, it would be better for just the two of us. Moreover, we came to the mountains by ourselves, and the fact that we could not go to the ground has attracted many opinions from the village. If you call a few more brothers, who will do the work in the field, and what will happen to the work of our families before? How can those people's mouths be blocked? ”
"I see, but you two are trying too hard." Xia Yuan suddenly realized, stroking the scar on Lu Aiguo's face, she couldn't help but feel sorry for the two of them.
"We're not doing well." Lu Aiguo's side face rubbed Xia Yuan's palm, and his heart suddenly burned hot.
"Alas, we went to Haicheng, and the number of times we can come back every year is less after all, and when the time comes, many fruits on this mountain still can't be picked back and will rot on the mountain. What a shame. Xia Yuan sighed again, those are all money!
"How can everything in this world be so perfect? Gains and losses are the right way. Lu Aiguo smiled absently.
"It's just that at this time the ripe fruit on the mountain is enough for us to pick. However, the fruit of wild fruits is not too big, and the taste, some are good, and some are not necessarily. ”
"Dad, when we come later, we can actually try to bring some fruit tree seedlings."
Lu Yun finished collecting the chestnuts and ran over, just when she heard the second half of what Lu Aiguo said, she couldn't help but say her thoughts with great interest.
The taste of many wild fruits is not necessarily good, but it is better than all-natural pollution-free, and it is still good to use it to make preserved fruits, dried fruits to keep for yourself or give away.
And if they have the opportunity in the future, they can also bring some fruit tree saplings themselves, and plant some fruit trees wherever they want, and they can completely turn this mountain into their orchard.
Anyway, if they don't come here to pick it, the fruit will really end up rotting on the tree.
You know, even after many, many years in the previous life, there are only a handful of people who dare to go deep into this mountain. Of course, those who are prohibited are excepted, except for poachers with weapons.
In this life, she will still persuade her father to contract the mountains and forests that belong to the boundary of Yushu Village in front of her. As for the depths of the mountains and forests, even if someone wants to contract, they don't have the courage to go deeper.
This mountain is said to be a mountain, but in fact it is an idiomatic expression. There are dozens of mountains in this area. And because the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and many of them are nationally protected animals, they have always maintained the state of primeval forests. Even after many years, the ecology has not been much destroyed.
"It's a good idea, but fruit saplings are so easy to get. This is the chestnut is all picked? Lu Aiguo looked around, and sure enough, there was no trace of chestnuts on the tree.
