'Bang bang', Cui Yuanjian hit the sour jujube branches with a wooden stick, and the sour jujube on the branches fell on the grass mat that had been laid down below along with the leaves and branches.
The jujube tree grows very fast, and this year its branches are cut off, and as long as the roots are still there, it will be restored the next year. I don't worry about hurting the roots of the tree.
The Cui brothers used a sickle to cut off the branches of the sour jujube tree full of sour dates, and when they saved too much, they put them on the straw mat and beat down the sour dates on it.
Although this will hurt some sour dates, but the speed is much faster, the three brothers and sisters of the Cui family can beat more than 100 catties of sour dates a day, put them in the back basket, and the brothers and sisters of the Cui family will carry them down the mountain.
When he returned home, Uncle Guo would use the dustpan to lift out the sour jujube leaves and branches mixed inside, and the dustpan shook up and down with Uncle Guo, and the branches and leaves mixed in it fell to the ground like rain.
Then pick out the sour jujube with broken skin inside, wash off the dust sticking to it with clean water, spread it into a thin layer on the mat, and put it outside to expose it to the sun at noon when the sun is the most poisonous.
In order to avoid fly bites, Cui Xiaoxiao also contributed her gauze mosquito net and covered it, although it affected the effect of the sun, it was better than being clean, after all, it was something to be imported, and Cui Xiaoxiao was extremely strict in terms of hygiene.
It is to wash the mosquito net every day, after all, I don't know how many flies and flying insects have flown on it.
After a few days of exposure to the sun, I moved into a backlit room to dry, and the moisture went a little slower, but I didn't have to worry about being dehydrated and dried out of the skin. Besides, there is one last process, which is also the most troublesome, you have to pick them one by one, and you must not ask for insect eyes.
After doing this, the sour dates can be sealed in the altar and placed in a cool place, waiting for the winter to arrive and be exchanged for silver.
After Cui Yuanjian knocked down the sour dates, Cui Xiaoxiao sent a wooden bucket filled with water and let the eldest brother rest while drinking.
She dragged the jujube branch aside, grabbed the four corners of the straw mat in her hand, piled up a bag of sour jujubes, and used a shovel to put the jujube into the back basket.
"Big brother, there is almost no place to put sour dates at home." Cui Xiaoxin, "Let's stop playing sour dates." ”
Playing sour dates, those who have done it know the hard work.
Most of the jujube trees grow together with wild grasses, and the jujube trees can only be found by arching through the grass nests, and there are still dewdrops on the grass blades in the morning.
The jujube tree is still thorny, dense, and it is normal to be pricked a few times. Every day when she goes back, Cui Xiaoxiao feels distressed when she looks at the needles in the hands of her two elder brothers.
The jujube wood is still hard, and it is not easy to cut it with a sickle.
Not to mention that the follow-up processing of sour dates is also very troublesome.
Cui Xiaoxiao wanted to use the excuse that there was no place at home, so she just didn't do it, and their brothers and sisters were not short of money, and besides, they could think of other ways to make money.
"No, you don't." Cui Yuanjian swallowed a mouthful of water and said, "There is a cave on this mountain, which was discovered by my father, so let's dry the sour dates on the mountain and put them in there." ”
Cui Yuanjian didn't expect that there were so many sour jujube trees on the mountain, all of them were connected into a piece, and if he found a place, he could be busy for a day.
Sour dates are silver, Cui Yuanjian didn't think about not doing it. The issue of storage was thought about early on.
The cave is very large, and it has been modified by my father, and it is also very safe. The cave is shady but not damp, and it is perfect for putting sour dates, and it also saves their brothers and sisters from carrying heavy backpacks down the mountain every day.
"Big brother." Cui Xiaoxiao was a little reluctant, and there was a little complaint in her voice.
Cui Yuanjian touched Cui Xiaoxiao's head, "Big brother knows that you feel sorry for me and your second brother, but don't you see that my body has grown a lot in the past six months?" ”
Cui Yuan's fitness shape is long, taller than half a year ago, and his body is also strong, and he still has muscles when he touches it, "Big brother knows in his heart, and he won't be tired of himself." ”
There is no shortage of money at home, but Cui Yuanjian does not allow himself to stop earning money, the money is the little sister's, how can he let the little sister raise it with peace of mind.
Looking at Cui Yuanjian's appearance, Cui Xiaoxiao knew that the eldest brother disagreed, and went to work.
The eldest brother insisted on doing it, and she followed.
It's a big deal to go back and do more good things, after these days Cui Xiaoxiao's unremitting smuggling, there is basically a lot of space in the house, and a large piece of mushroom fungus has grown, and it is about to flood.
The seedlings of wild fruits on the mountain, because they are transplanted small saplings, have only been raised by one section, and they have not yet blossomed and borne fruit, but they are not far away.
The food is produced in the space, and the spiritual spring water is also used more, so the eldest brother and the second brother will not lose their bodies.
Cui Yuankang dragged a few sour jujube branches back, and Cui Yuanjian had rested enough, so he got up and took a sickle to cut down trees with Cui Yuankang.
After filling the three back baskets, Cui Yuanjian and Cui Yuankang led Cui Xiaoxiao towards the cave.
Cui Xiaoxiao stopped in front of a big mountain, yes, it was a big mountain, looking left and right, looking up and down was full of mountains, and there was a slender big stone standing in front of them, which seemed to have fallen down from the mountain and fell into this side.
"Big brother, second brother, where is the cave? Don't sell it. Cui Xiaoxiao asked.
The eldest brother led her to this place, and the cave should not be far from here, but she looked carefully, and there was no cave at all.
"Little sister is optimistic." Cui Yuankang smiled and said that he climbed on the extra stone like a monkey, "Big brother, hurry up." ”
After the two brothers climbed the stone, they jumped down, and the two of them worked together to move the stone open a crack and let Cui Xiaoxiao in.
After Cui Xiaoxiao entered, there was an extra gap in front of him, which was a gap between the mountains, and the gap became narrower and narrower upwards, and disappeared when he reached the height where they were.
And the stone behind them is also very wonderful, it is actually U-shaped, covering the gap tightly, and there is no clue at all from the outside.
Cui Yuanjian explained, "The cave is deep in this crevice, and after my father found out that there was a cave inside, he made it a temporary resting place.
Sometimes I slept here at night, fearing that some wild beast would attack, so I found this stone, and chiseled it into this shape, and blocked it. ”
Cui Xiaoxiao nodded, her cheap dad is also a capable person.
The three of them walked along the gap, which was not wide, and the children could still pass it, but the adults could only turn sideways. The further you go inside, the more spacious it becomes, and there is no animal droppings on the ground, so it seems that there are no small animals.
Suddenly, the crack vanished, and became a wide cave, about the size of five houses, in which there was nothing but a stone bed.
There was not even moss on the ground except for a few piles of ashes, so it was a good place to clean up.
Cui Yuanjian said, "Let's clean up here, and put the sour dates in the future." ”
