Chapter 232: Strawberry Picking

It turned out that my own strawberries were a few days earlier than others', and they were ripe before May Day. Zhang Taiping is not at home, under the leadership of Cai Yazhi, they have already picked a car to let Wang Gui's car be sent to the town to buy, the price refers to the early-maturing strawberries in the greenhouses listed in several fruit stores are set at four yuan a catty, and the apprehensive Cai Yazhi and Fan Ming set up stalls on the street like water just to escort, lest no one buy, who would have thought that the purchasing power of the people in the town was so terrifying, the strawberries in the three bamboo baskets were swept out within an hour as if they had been robbed like crazy, and a total of more than 700 yuan was bought.

Although seven hundred yuan is not much, it was earned within an hour, and this is the first time that Cai Yazhi and Fan Ming have made so much money in person, and the two of them are very happy, especially Cai Yazhi is relieved that Heinz hopes that cherries and peaches will sell like this when the time comes.

The total time of strawberries is not long, only half a month at most, but once they start to ripen, they will continue day after day, so Cai Yazhi invited Lu Feng to help pick them, which is why Zhang Taiping saw Lu Feng at home. Then yesterday's big set, Cai Yazhi and Fan Ming sold goods on the market, just after the May Day holiday, Cai Xiaomei came back and brought a few classmates to play at home, there were people in the field who were constantly picking, and Wang Gui's car was also requisitioned, and the picked strawberries were constantly transported to the town, often as soon as they arrived in the town, they were looted, and they were sold for nearly 3,000 yuan in one day.

"Why don't you give me a call? If I had known that my family was so busy, I would have been back a few days earlier. Zhang Taiping listened to Fan Ming's busy story in the past few days.

Fan Ming said with a smile: "Sister Cai said that we can do it ourselves, and the eldest brother has important things outside, so don't let the eldest brother call." ”

Yaya saw that the strawberry was back, so she obediently ran into the kitchen, took a basin out, rinsed it with water, put a strawberry on the table where everyone was talking, and then got into Zhang Taiping's arms. Everyone was talking while sipping freshly picked strawberries.

Suddenly, one of Cai Xiaomei's female classmates exclaimed, "Look, what's going on stealing strawberries?" ”

Everyone looked back and saw a fluffy purple guy standing on top of a bamboo basket feasting. Xiao Xi, who was standing on the table, saw it and pointed at the guy on the bamboo basket with her wings indignantly, and chirped towards Cai Yazhi. Cai Yazhi looked at its gesture for a while, and then stroked its feathers with her hand before it quieted down.

"Hey, what a cute little one, what is this?" Fan Ming looked at the small things that were eating secretly and turned her head to look at the small things that were looking at everyone.

"It's a sable, I met it from the mountains where Ye Ling and the others were, and I brought it back." Zhang Taiping replied.

"A sable, one of the three treasures of the Northeast?" Cai Xiaomei's male classmate asked in surprise. He is studying engineering in the Department of Light Chemical Engineering, and he is more sensitive to this.

"What Northeast Three Treasures?" Fan Ming tilted her head slightly and asked curiously.

The boy glanced at the sable standing on the bamboo basket and replied: "There are three treasures in the northeast, one is the well-known ginseng, the other is the deer antler, and finally the third is the fur of this sable, especially the purple sable is rare." ”

Hearing the boy's words, Sable jumped onto Zhang Taiping's shoulder with a whoosh and faced the little guy with his teeth bared, obviously the word fur stimulated the little guy.

"Big brother, let me hug it." As he spoke, he stepped forward.

Zhang Taiping gave a palm and said: "This is not as docile as a kitten and a puppy, it's better not to hug it, if it grabs you on the face, your flower and moon appearance will really be spent." "Isn't Zhang Taiping's words alarmist, don't you see that the white mink on the top of the Tianlong Babu is not only arresting people but also poisonous? Although this sable is not so exaggerated as poisonous, its speed is extremely fast, and the wild surname has not been removed, if it swings its claws on the human face, it will be too late to remedy it.

Hearing Zhang Taiping say it so seriously, Fan Ming stopped and stepped forward, the little animal is cute, but it is not to the point of teasing it regardless of his own safety. As he spoke, the sable swished a few times, jumped on the roof beam, and disappeared.

Zhang Taiping looked at the sunset spilled in the courtyard and said, "So, you were picking strawberries in the orchard just now?" Everyone nodded.

"Let's go, let's go together."

Out of the courtyard, the others were used to seeing the lion and Ah Huang, and although they were a little surprised to see the grimace again, they were not very afraid, but Cai Xiaomei's four classmates were different, and they all touched it in fear when they passed by the grimace.

"Brother-in-law, did you bring these horses back too?"

"Hmm. The black horse was called the Black Dragon. ”

"Don't you tie them up, what if you run away?" Cai Xiaomei said a little worriedly.

Zhang Taiping went up and patted the head of the black dragon and said, "No, since they can follow me to the house, they won't run away by themselves." The others didn't quite understand the meaning of Zhang Taiping's words, but Xing Rushui, who walked at the back, vaguely understood what the reason was, and it must be his magical paradise that was at work.

"Girl, come here." Zhang Taiping picked up the girl and put it on the back of the black dragon, at first the black dragon was unwilling, and was slapped by Zhang Taiping lightly before he quieted down.

"Come, hold here." Zhang Taiping asked Yaya to grasp the mane on the back of the black dragon's neck, and then let go of his hand and patted the black dragon gently, and the black dragon walked around the pond with the order. After coming back, I saw that the little girl above was both nervous and excited.

Zhang Taiping took the little girl off the horse, and Fan Ming stepped forward: "I also ride, I also ride." ”

It's just that this time, no matter how Zhang Taiping appeased the black dragon, he was unwilling to let Fan Ming ride up, and he couldn't, so Zhang Taiping could only summon the brown-red horse over. It was quite docile, and under Zhang Taiping's arrangement, Fan Ming was successfully ridden on his back.

After turning around, Fan Ming sat on the back of the red horse and said, "Your black dragon has too much temper, but the little red date is obedient and cute." "Well, after a lap, I even got my name right. It's just called red dates, so why add a kid in front?

When I came to the orchard, there were ripe strawberries in the field enclosed by Zhang Taiping, and there were a number of chickens and ducks outside, hey, they also knew that the strawberries were, but they were blocked out and couldn't get inside. After the three big dogs followed behind the crowd, the chickens and ducks dispersed.

The enclosed strawberry fields, which were more than an acre in size, were now completely covered in green, dotted with dense vermilion and small white flowers floating on them. The magic of strawberries lies in the fact that there are different fruits on a single vine, from flowers to red and ripe strawberries. The strawberries are white when they are not ripe, and they have a hard and sour taste, and only in the last two days of ripening do they turn bright red under the sun, and when they become soft and shiny.

Zhang Taiping picked a red one and put it in his mouth, it was sweet and sour, and his tongue turned into juice and flowed into the stomach without moving his teeth, making people's tongues relish, and it was impossible not to eat the second one.

"The cherries are also ripe, and they will turn red in two days and you can buy them. My sister is still worried that she will sell both strawberries and cherries when the time comes, and she won't be able to pull it away, so you are back, and my sister won't have to do this. In the process of picking strawberries, the little sister said to Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping stood up and came to the cherry tree to take a look, the bunches of fruits pressed the branches down, the cherry particles were larger than the ones I had seen before, and now they have not yet been colored, they appear to be crystal clear like strings of pearls hanging on the branches, and after two days of full maturity, they will become rubies again.

Everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, and more than a dozen people of this size picked strawberries together, and in the evening, the whole strawberry was passed, and a total of fifteen bamboo baskets were picked. If a basket is calculated according to thirty or forty catties, it is more than five hundred catties, and it is more than two thousand yuan. Lu Feng silently calculated in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh that in such a day or two, he exceeded his annual income, and he was a little stunned.

In the evening, everyone gathered around for dinner, and several of Cai Xiaomei's classmates arranged in the opposite courtyard, and Ye Ling slept with Yaya in the future. After Lu Fenghe and Tian Tian left, Zhang Taiping's family sat under the laurel tree and talked for a while.

"Why don't you see the old man?" Zhang Taiping asked Cai Yazhi.

Cai Yazhi made a comparison, and Zhang Taiping understood. It turned out that the old man Li Zhousheng heard that the old man had built a house on top of Yizhi Mountain and lived in seclusion for several years, so he persuaded the old man to go up to have a look, so the old man and the old man Li Zhousheng went up the mountain, saying that they would stay for a few days before coming down.

A small farm yard has been built on the south side of the opposite yard, and the chimney on the roof is still smoking in the evening, presumably after the house is built in these days, Mr. Li Zhousheng can't wait to move in.

The process of picking strawberries requires the whole body to bend down, which is not an easy job, and I am a little tired at the end of the day, and I don't sit for a while before I go into the house to rest. When Xing Rushui entered the room, he looked back and thought about Zhang Taiping and smiled, the meaning was inexplicable, Zhang Taiping couldn't guess it, and he didn't want to know what she was thinking in her heart, as long as she didn't tell the secret of the space.

When Cai Yazhi was taking a bath, Zhang Taiping came to the edge of the pond alone. Looking up at the starry sky, I feel that the starry sky here is more intimate than the grassland. smiled self-deprecatingly, it seems that he is really a man who loves his family, and he is only suitable for his wife and children to warm the kang head at home, not for wandering around outside.

PS: Let's ask for a basic flower again!
