Chapter 45: The Season of Ripening Bayberry
As soon as Long Yi walked into the living room, Tang Xuan brought a plate of large bayberry soaked in light salt water, and Long Xiaopeng and Bai Dongmei were watching TV.
Tang Xuan said: "Wow...... How about tasting this year's bayberry? I'm going to call my sister-in-law. After speaking, he walked out of the living room, and the dragon looked at it, picked a big and purple stuffed mouth and chewed it, and praised vigorously: "Not bad!" It's so sweet......"
Bai Dongmei grabbed a handful and handed it to Long Xiaopeng, Long Xiaopeng said: "I'm afraid of sour, so I won't eat it, you eat." ”
Bai Dongmei tasted it and said, "It's too sweet, old man, can you eat it?" It's not sour at all! ”
Yu Bo hurriedly walked in: "Where? Bayberry ...... My favorite ......" looked up and saw that the elders were also feeling a little embarrassed, so they slowed down.
As soon as the dragon looked at it carefully, he said, "What's the hurry?" Come...... Give ......" reached out and handed Yu Bo a handful of large bayberry.
Tang Xuan sat on the sofa and said: "I started selling it in the market a few days ago, I was afraid that I didn't buy it if it wasn't ripe...... Ay...... Why doesn't Dad eat it? Come and get ......."
Long Xiaopeng saw that everyone was happy to take the bayberry in Tang Xuan's hand, and also tried to taste it, his constricted brows gradually relaxed, and he nodded and praised: "It's really not sour at all, the taste is really good!" ”
Bai Dongmei said to Tang Xuan: "Xuan'er...... Did you leave a little for Xiaowen? ”
Tang Xuan: "Leave some left, go to the market tomorrow after eating, and pick some good ones to eat......"
This reminded Long Yi, who was eating fiercely, and Long Yi raised his head and said, "What to pick?" Still go to the market to pick? Wouldn't it be nice to go straight to the orchard and eat, you all forgot? We have also invested nearly 20,000 acres of orchards, and we will go directly to ...... later."
Yu Bo's eyes lit up and said, "When are you going?" I'll go too! Didn't eat enough......"
Long Yi took out his mobile phone and dialed a call, then said, "Hey...... Mr. Du...... I'm Ryuyi, ......"
Yu Bo stared at Long Yi and listened carefully, for fear of missing half a word.
Long Yi said: "Nothing! Just ask if the bayberry is ripe...... Oh...... Cooked, right? I'll pick some and try it later...... Okay, good...... You get busy first, I remember the ...... of the road"
Yu Bo asked eagerly, "When are we going?" I can't wait. ”
Long Yi said to everyone: "After lunch, will we all go?" Idle is idle anyway......"
Long Xiaopeng: "If you climb high and low, I won't go, you guys can go, I'll stay at home." ”
Bai Dongmei didn't want to go, Tang Xuan said that a lot of work was not done and she didn't go. Yu Bo said to Tang Xuan: "It's okay, if I go, I will go on your behalf, don't worry, I will definitely bring a big basket back when the time comes." Tang Xuan smiled and nodded.
After eating, Long Yi drove the car and Yu Bo and set off, and drove out of the Qianxian city for half an hour. The sun is getting hotter and hotter, but fortunately, the trees on the side of the road are growing well, and the sunlight can only shine through the dense leaves, and when it hits the road, there is only a little dappled light, and it is no longer so hot, but it feels a little cold.
Yu Bo rubbed his hands and asked, "Why is it so far?" It's hot and cold......"
Long Yiyu glanced at Yu Bo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and said, "What's the hurry?" How fresh the air is! It's just natural oxygen, right......" After speaking, he sniffed the cool air deeply and looked intoxicated.
The car went out of the green alley, and the sun shone proudly on the whole body, until Yu Bo saw that the road sign showed 'Mirage Fruit Industry Demonstration Base', Yu Bo said: "Is there a mistake? Another kilometer? ”
The phone rang, Long Yi turned on the speakerphone and put the phone on the platform above the dashboard and said, "It's here, there's still a kilometer to ......"
After hanging up the phone, I saw a middle-aged man standing on the side of the road with a little fortune waving, Long Yi slowed down the speed of the car, and said to Yu Bo: "Du Ke, the person in charge of the base ......"
Aftermath said, "It's so dark! ”
Long Yi stopped the car and said angrily: "Let you bask in the orchard every day, you are ten times darker than him......"
Long Yi rolled down the window and said to Du Ke: "Hello Mr. Du! Didn't drive down? ”
Doucle: "Hey! Hello...... The car broke down and was being repaired......"
Long Yi smiled: "Come up then!" ”
Du Ke opened the car door and sat in the back row, handed the cigarette to Long Yi, and said to Yu Bo: "Hello sister-in-law!" Younger again......"
Yu Bo smiled at Du Ke with a smile: "Yo! I'm old...... But Mr. Du is handsome again! ”
Du Ke smiled, pointed in the direction for Long Yi, and drove all the way to the middle of the mountain before stopping the car.
Not far away, more than 20 workers were busy loading the car, Long Yi was dressed in white clothes, white pants, white canvas shoes, and then put on the white cap handed over by Yu Bo, and Yu Bo wore a light yellow dress and a big sunhat.
Du Ke led the two over, and a young man who took the staff to load the car smiled and said to Du Ke: "Yo! Boss Du personally came to inspect and guide the work, everyone is welcome......" Everyone stopped and applauded.
Du Ke said: "Xiao Liu, don't make trouble...... What kind of boss am I? Let me introduce to you, this is Brother Long, the largest shareholder of the base, and next to him is the proprietress Sister Yu...... Everyone is welcome! ”
The workers applauded and chattered to greet Long Yi and Yu Bo, and Long Yi said to everyone: "It's all hard! You're all busy...... I just want to eat bayberry to pick some ......," and after speaking, he handed Du Ke two cigarettes and asked him to take them to the workers to smoke.
The three of them walked into the depths of the orchard, only to see the workers carrying small baskets back and forth in the bayberry field to pick bayberry, and the tree was high and set up a ladder...... Looking at the big bayberry all over the mountains and gardens, dark red, like red agate on the plateau, Long Yi couldn't help nodding with satisfaction.
Long Yi said: "Mr. Du...... There are people everywhere, how can you get two or three hundred? ”
Du Ke: "No, some are tourists, people from the city come to play, only two hundred and one people are out of work today, and only five trucks were shipped out in the morning, seeing that a large number of mature people seem to have to recruit some more employees......
The dragon nodded: "It's good for you to arrange, it's ...... to organize it well and don't delay."
Du Ke: "Last month, the water chestnut and Dongkui bayberry were basically picked, and they ripened early and sold well!" The price has reached two hundred and one catties, and the price has dropped this month...... It's only one hundred and twenty-one pounds......"
Long Yi said to Du Ke: "Don't talk about this, you are busy first, let's pick some and go back......"
I saw Yu Bo climb the high ladder to pick bayberry, and I was terrified when I saw it, and quickly said, "Wife...... You be careful...... Weird and scary! ”
Yu Bo picked a bunch of big and purple bayberry and said to Longyi: "See! I've picked the biggest! ”
Du Ke smiled and said, "Then I'll go over there and take a look, you pick the ...... first" After saying that, he waved his hand and walked to the depths of the garden.
Seeing that Yu Bo was happy, Long Yi took out his mobile phone and said to Yu Bo: "Bo'er! Look here......"
Yu Bo stuck out his tongue and made a grimace, and Ryuichi quickly filmed it. And Long Yi picked it directly and ate it, seeing that Yu Bo picked a full basket, Long Yi was also full.
Qianxian belongs to the subtropical climate zone, the three-dimensional climate is prominent, the bayberry fruit produced is small in the kernel, sweet and sour, crystal clear, the expert evaluation of the Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China believes that the bayberry in Qianxian County is of good quality, high sugar content, rich in a variety of vitamins, is a rare delicious fruit.
After nearly a century of continuous improvement, Qianxian bayberry has become a geographical indication product of agricultural products. The earliest bayberry in Qianxian County has matured at the end of April and early May, a month earlier than other areas.
The small city of Qianxian has gradually become a good place for people to vacation and relax. Along the way, the green mountains and green waters, the birds and the fragrance of flowers, in the middle of summer, driving in the meantime, there is a kind of return to nature cool and comfortable. In May, Qianxian County belonged to bayberry. The big bayberry all over the mountains and fields in Qianxian County bloomed with an attractive aroma again, and the big bayberry that was bright red like fire all over the mountains attracted the majority of tourists to come.
Yu Bo was tired after working for a long time, so he found a clean place to sit down, fanned the wind with his hat, Long Yi sat next to him and took a photo with his mobile phone, turned his head and asked Yu Bo if he had eaten enough, and Yu Bo said that he couldn't eat it.
Long Yi smiled and said, "Shall I tell you a story?" ”
Aftermath nodded.
Long Yi said vividly: "A long, long time ago, Cao Cao led his troops to fight, until he drank the last drop of water, and after another three days, he still hadn't found a water source, seeing that the soldiers couldn't support it, and they were so thirsty that they were staggering......"
Yu Bo asked, "Are you so thirsty?" ”
Long Yi said, "Don't interrupt! Do you want to hear it? ”
Aftermath: "I want to hear it!" And then ......"
Long Yi: "Later, Cao Cao said that after two more mountains, there would be a large 'plum forest', and the soldiers were not thirsty when they thought of the sour plums, and finally got out of the predicament...... Awesome, right? ”
Aftermath: "Awesome! However, Wangmei is not talking about bayberry to quench her thirst, if the soldiers have eaten the bayberry of Qianxian County, all they think of is that the bayberry will die of hunger in the end, and Cao Cao will also hang up! He laughed.
Looking at the aftermath of laughter, Ryuichi also smiled, smoked a cigarette, and the two walked to the parking place. Du Ke was still at the loading site, looking at a small basket of bayberry that Yu Boti tied.
Du Ke said: "Just so much and run in person? ”
Aftermath: "That is, I can't really eat much if it's fun." ”
Du Ke said: "Xiao Liu...... Take two people to carry a few boxes to the car......"
Xiao Liu: "Okay! How much does it hold? ”
Du Ke said angrily: "Full! And asked how many ...... were loaded"
Seeing that the entire trunk was full, and Xiao Liu was still moving, Long Yi said: "Mr. Du, it's almost done!" When to eat? That Xiao Liu, thank you! Too much......"
Yu Bo also hurriedly thanked Du Ke, Du Ke kept Long Yi and Yu Bo to go to the house for dinner, Long Yi said that he would have time to go again another day.
Tang Xuan saw that Long Yi had moved several times before he finished moving, and sighed: "Big brother and sister-in-law, this is too exaggerated, right?" Why don't you move the whole orchard to your home? ”
Long Yi shook his head: "You don't know that Du Ke, it makes people full, it's scary!" Leave him alone...... Hurry up and give it away, so many relatives and friends, let's share it together! How long else will you eat? That's right...... Xiaowen ...... I'll send a box to your father-in-law, and I'll send it to my aunt's house and uncle's house. ”
Long Wen: "Good ......"
Tang Xuan asked Yu Bo: "Sister-in-law! How does it feel? Running to pick bayberry on a hot day, are you tired? ”
Yu Bo said: "It's okay today, it's actually not very hot, and picking it on the tree is different!" It's very refreshing, and it's so full! Let Xiaowen take you to experience the experience one day. ”
