On this day, Chu Jiaqiang was still the same, and he was sleeping on the swing chair under the longan tree at the door. This longan tree has produced a lot of high-quality longan today, which has made everyone's mouth happy several times. It's all a minority, Chu Jiaqiang doesn't bother to pay attention to it, whoever likes to eat will climb up and pick it, and he has never asked.

The second uncle saw this guy's lazy appearance, so he couldn't help but order: "If you are so idle, I will go and knock back the two black olives on the side of the mountain in the afternoon, I found that they are all ripe a few days ago." ”

"The two black olive trees also bear fruit this year?" Chu Jiaqiang was a little surprised. In previous years, the two black olives rarely bore fruit, and they were joked by the people in the village as black olives, which meant the same as a rooster not laying eggs.

The second uncle nodded: "I don't know what's going on this year, it seems to be quite a lot." ”

Speaking of this, Chu Shengmin was also quite surprised, and he didn't know what the reason was. He heard from his father that the two black olives were planted by his grandfather in the past, and they are more than 100 years old now, and it takes three people to hug them, which is one of the larger trees in the village.

But it's very strange, in previous years, there were very few fruits, and there was a nest of wasps on it, which had not been beaten for many years. Two days ago, I accidentally passed by and found that there were a lot of black olives hanging on it, and I was puzzled at that time.

"However, if you want to go up, you must be careful not to provoke that nest of wasps. Also, ebony wood is brittle and easy to break, so don't climb too far to the end. Chu Shengmin reminded.

"Oh! Okay, let's check it out in the afternoon! As I remember, those two black olives seemed to be oil olives. It's delicious, I haven't eaten that in a long time. Chu Jiaqiang said.

In Chujiazhai, there are also some people in Wulan, all of which are left by their ancestors, and they are all very huge. Black olives are generally divided into two types, and the more delicious one is oil olive. After this black olive is sun-dried, the surface is like a layer of oil coming out, and the taste is very good. There is also a kind of inferior one, called chaff olive. After sunburning, it is dry and not so tasty, but the yield is large.

"It's an olive, but it's a pity that it's a little bit every year, and I don't bother to go up and knock it. Waste of manpower. The second aunt said.

After all, a tree that big is not easy to climb. Each time, I had to carry a long ladder over and climb it to the branch. In addition, you have to carry a long bamboo pole, and those who go up can sit on a large branch and catch the bamboo pole. Just hit it hard, it's very exhausting.

"Isn't it an olive?" At this time, one of Chu Jiaqiang's cousins asked.

This question can't be answered by the second uncle and the second aunt. They had heard of oil olives, bran olives, and yellow olives. Yellow olives are yellow when ripe, and the taste is okay.

"It's different, it's also a kind, isn't it?" Chu Jiaqiang said.

Before. I noticed this problem myself. But it was found that the so-called olive branch, like the vine, can be made into a ring. I know that it is different from the black olive in my hometown.

Black olives such as olives, blue-black, rotten and sweet, can also be used as vegetables, the nucleus difference is long, among which the kernel taste is pine, the recommended wine and pan tea are cherished, and the relics are given to the nucleus to go far, slightly dry, and the vertebral kernel is taken.

In the afternoon, Chu Jiaqiang and the others took the tools and walked towards the two ebony trees on the side of the mountain. old

Wu and Zhou Furong carried a very long ladder, more than ten meters long. Chu Jiaqiang was carrying a bamboo pole of about ten meters long, followed by many people, holding bags and the like, and after the black olive was knocked down, he could pick it up.

"It's just these two! It's so big, you can see big trees everywhere here! Tang Liye and others sighed. You don't need to go to the mountains, just go around the village and you can find many big trees that one person can't hold.

"It's not too big, we go up into the mountains, some of them are terrifying, a tree can be described as covering the sky and the sun." Zhou Furong said. Last time, when I went into the mountains with you to investigate, I saw a lot of unusually huge ancient trees.

Chu Jiaqiang helped and erected the ladder diagonally on one of the big trees. Then he said to the others, "All right, you all go away, and I'll just go up with Ah Xiong." ”

"I'm not afraid!" I saw a child suddenly say. I saw that the little guy was wearing a helmet, which should have been the family's motorcycle.

"You kid took your Lao Tzu's helmet over, it's really broken, and your kid is going to be whipped." Chu Jiaqiang reminded. The black olives knocked down from above are similar to hailstones, and hitting people can be very serious, so don't think that everything will be fine with a helmet.

After speaking, Chu Jiaqiang and Chu Jiaxiong climbed up the ladder. When they reached the place where there were branches on it, the two sat separately. Chu Jiaqiang knocked first and let Chu Jiaxiong rest for a while.

"Go farther." Chu Jiaqiang shouted to the people below. Those guys had just spoken about them, but they were still standing in the shade of the trees on the edge, just reluctant to go out.

At this time, the monkey and the little squirrel also quickly climbed up. They also realized what Chu Jiaqiang was going to do, so they all went out along the horizontal branches, went to the outermost part to shake the branches, and shook the black olives down.

At this time, Chu Jiaqiang saw that there were more of them, and there was a sharp knock, and the bottom was like hail, crackling and falling down. Someone below may have been hit, screamed, and hurriedly jumped out. Others have learned from the past and do not dare to stay in the shadows.

"Big brother, the monkey is going to stab the hornet, hurry up and stop it!" Chu Jiaxiong shouted loudly. When he saw the monkey shake for a while, he was so idle that he broke off a small dead branch and was about to poke the wasp, and immediately he jumped in terror.

Chu Jiaqiang looked up and immediately shouted: "You don't want to die, don't bother us!" ”

As soon as the people below heard this, some of them were ready to flee. Hornets are no joke, if you don't get it right, you'll die.

The monkey then threw away the little twig, scratched the monkey's head, and then continued to help. This guy is actually very helpful, but he just can't help you, and everything he does is three minutes of enthusiasm.

After beating for a while, Chu Jiaqiang handed the bamboo pole to Chu Jiaxiong and asked him to knock on the other side and rest for a while. The people below came here and started picking up in areas that wouldn't hurt.

Some experienced people put on their hand socks, and those who are inexperienced picked up for a while only to find that the whole palm is sticky, as if coated with a layer of glue.

"Remember to wear socks too. This doesn't feel good, it should be able to be washed off, right? Zhou Furong said.

"It's not serious now, but when it dries later, it will turn black. It can be washed off, but it's more difficult, just like rosin. The second uncle said. Before, he reminded these people, but they just listened to the wind, this time it's okay, right?
