On the edge of the silver sand beach on the east side of the island, sixteen coconut trees are scattered together.

The variety is an excellent high-grade green coconut, which grows quickly with special nutritious water and careful care by the islanders.

Before you know it, the coconut tree has reached a height of seventeen or eight meters, with a thick trunk and huge, thick feathery leaves, which are like umbrellas parting to form a graceful canopy.

Once you arrive here, you will feel like you are in a tropical ocean, with crystal clear water and soft silvery-white fine sand, forming a unique natural beauty on Yunsha Island, which is fascinating.

A few days ago, Fang Mingjie and others went to the island to play, in addition to the sea and beach, these sixteen coconut trees made them feel the most excited and incredible.

The fact that the coconut tree can survive in the northern seas, and that it grows so strong and vigorous, seems to be impossible to explain other than that the owner or gardener of the island is a master gardener who has mastered the unknown high-tech cultivation technology.

There are many varieties of coconut trees, and the reason why Jiang Yichen chose to plant green coconut is because it is tall and straight, and the function of landscaping is excellent; Second, it has a high fruit yield and a long economic lifespan, which is said to be more than 80 years.

At the beginning of September, the batch of coconuts finally ripened, and since the harvest of the hundred fruit orchards, this has become the most anticipated place for everyone.

Looking up, I saw that each tree had a large number of blue-green oval spheres clustered at the base of the canopy, which looked quite attractive.

The harvest season is always full of joy.

Ten o'clock in the morning. Jiang Yichen, Lai Shun'er, Xizi and Shi Suo'er came to Silver Beach together, carrying several large bamboo baskets, ropes, machetes and other tools, ready to pick the fruits of their long-term labor.

Because the coconut trees grow very tall and the sea breeze is the factor, it is not very feasible to use long bamboo poles and iron hooks. You can only climb to the top of the tree and cut it with a knife, as for the selection of candidates, after democratic evaluation, because Xizi has a hobby of climbing trees and houses since she was a child, she belongs to professional and skilled people, so she was collectively elected. It is a well-deserved award.

"You're not reliable for what you're doing. If something happens to me, my mother will settle accounts with you. ”

Kiko stood under the coconut tree, her neck tilted back at an exaggerated angle, looking at the high canopy. I can't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Although from childhood to adulthood. This climbing work is not lacking. But those ordinary trees have a lot of branches. The trunk of a tree like this is smooth and smooth, and it is really never greeted.

I used to see tourist movies on TV where local farmers in small Southeast Asian countries were able to climb coconut palms with their bare hands. He is dexterous and does not need any equipment, but the ancestral advanced skills of the people have not yet been imitated by the current islanders.

"Don't worry, you don't know our craftsmanship yet, there are at least seven or eighty percent certainty in safety, and it's not so easy to fall apart." Shi Suo'er explained nonchalantly while helping Kiko put on the adjustment foot buckle and the seat belt on her upper body.

This pair of earthen foot buckles is a combination of steel bars, rubber pads and belts, and is handmade, which is carefully designed and made by stone carpenters for coconut palms.

"Damn, what about the other two or three?" When Kiko heard this chance, she was greatly dissatisfied.

"Then it's up to you to get your skills, okay, let's go up." Shi Suo'er stood up and urged.

Kiko had no choice but to pin the machete to the back belt, lift her left foot, snap the tip of the hook of the foot buckle to the trunk, try the force range, and then began to ascend.

After all, he had a professional foundation, and he quickly adapted to this simple and easy climbing tool, and the more proficient he became, he reached the top of the tree in a short time.

Snow Pea and Whiskers were strolling together, and they were curious to see people gathered under the coconut trees by the beach, so they also rushed over to join in the fun.

Seeing Xizi climbing up the tree, she looked very sharp, and neither of them had this kind of ability, so she was very excited. I saw Snow Pea's hind legs erect, raising her head, Weiwei flapping her broad wings, her neck stretched, and she screamed loudly, as if she was cheering for Kiko's feat.

"Xizi's skills are really good, and those who sneak out and out are about to catch up with the big horse monkeys." Shi Suo'er was quite envious when he saw this, and praised him.

"Yes, I heard that there are people in Qiongzhou who specialize in training monkeys to pick coconuts on trees, so we can save trouble here." Jiang Yichen added on the side.

He once saw a video of a coconut farmer training monkeys to help people work on the Internet, which looked beautiful and fun, but it was actually very laborious.

"Well, if you tie a hemp rope around your neck, it's almost inseparable." Lai Shun'er nodded yes and slapped her face.

"Talk nonsense, be careful if I drop a bomb and smash your dog's head." Hearing the following comments, Xizi was very angry and threatened.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand and patted the bulging blue-green fruit, making a fluffy sound.

The coconut shell is hard and heavy, and the force of the impact from this height of free fall is considerable.

According to relevant media reports, the number of people injured or even killed by coconuts every year in the world is several times higher than the number of shark attacks on humans, but the true or false number is not yet known.

Hearing this, everyone at the bottom of the tree subconsciously quickly dispersed.

"Xizi, don't come nonsense, you kid is going to die." Lai Shun'er warned loudly. With the size of the pile of coconuts, if he really pulls down a few at will, it is not a joke.

"Hehehe, I'm scared, I'm so timid." When Kiko saw that the threat worked, she was overjoyed and burst out laughing.

"Alright, alright, no kidding. Stay away, come, Weiwei, Snow Bean, come here. ”

Jiang Yichen reminded everyone to keep a safe distance, and at the same time clapped his hands and beckoned the dogs and geese that were still under the trees to come to him.

Kiko snorted, tried to fasten the harness on the trunk of the tree, then pulled out the machete from the back belt with both hands, picked a coconut nearby, and began to chop the base of it.

Tuk tuk tuk, with a few sounds, a large coconut detached from the tree.

"Get out of the way, the bombs are down!"

He shouted loudly, and then threw the large fruit in his hand.

The coconut fell freely and fell on the sand with a pop, splashing a small cloud of dust. From this point of view, this amount is really not light.

Xizi did not delay, and waved the machete continuously, and the round balls fell down one after another, like a bombardment, and this scene was quite spectacular.

Snow Pea and Whiskers were excited, screaming and screaming, as if they wanted to rush forward to find out.

Jiang Yichen was startled, and hurriedly reached out to hold the two restless guys, otherwise he would accidentally smash the dog's head and the goose's head.

The coconuts are still falling one after another, and the audience is all happy, and it seems that it is another good harvest.

After about half an hour, the "bombardment" finally ended, and around the coconut tree ground, oval balls of similar size rolled to the ground.

"Alright, it's gone, I'll come down." There was the sound of Kiko panting from above, and it seemed that it was not a little effort.

"Do you see clearly? But there's nothing left. Lai Shun'er was not very relieved, and asked again. If something is missed, it's still dangerous.

"It's all clean, and your head is safe." Kiko responded, holding the trunk with both hands and starting to slide down.

The air raid sirens were lifted, and the long-awaited spectators crowded up to pick up turquoise coconuts on the sandy ground.

Jiang Yichen leaned over and picked up one nearby, this Dongdong is really about the same size as a watermelon, with a smooth skin and an oval shape, and it is heavy in his hand, and it is estimated that the weight should be more than three kilograms.

Because the Lingjiang River belongs to the northern sea, not a coconut production area, this tropical fruit is rarely seen on the market, and only a small number of goods are shipped from other places in the big market, and the price is quite expensive. So apart from canned beverages such as coconut milk, he has never tasted real raw coconut.

In addition, the variety and appearance of this fruit are a little different from the original expectation. Originally, his impression of the coconut was that the fluffy cocout, and he thought that the same should be true for Yunsha Island, but in the end, it was this kind of green skin and smooth Dongdong that was harvested.

But it doesn't matter, as long as it's delicious.

On the other side, Shi Suo'er was also holding a big coconut and observing carefully, and patted the coconut's bulging belly with his palm, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"What's going on, are you ripe?" Seeing that he looked like an expert, Lai Shun'er hurriedly asked.

"It's just right, it should have just been cooked, and it sounds quite dense, and the coconut meat must be tender. If the juice in it is crunchy, it will be a little old, and you can eat it, but the taste will be almost there. "As an amateur gourmet, Shi Suo'er looks like he should have enjoyed this thing.

"Shi Suo'er is really not simple, I've eaten everything." When Jiang Yichen heard this, he was quite admirable.

"If you don't say it's a foodie, you can still save some money on this island, and the people who earned it in the city used to make him fill in that big mouth." Kiko stood under the tree, sneering as she took off her clasps.

Shi Suo'er knew what kind of virtue this guy was, so he didn't bother to argue with him, so he took a bamboo basket and put the coconut in his hand.

Snow Pea and Whiskers leaned together, sniffing and arching curiously at a large coconut on the ground, as if they were studying what the hell was going on.

Lai Shun'er stepped forward and picked up the coconut, which also caused them to cry out dissatisfied.

Everyone put all the coconuts on the ground into baskets, and after a while, there were sixty-five, which can be described as a great harvest. The results of this first year have reached such a high yield, which makes everyone happy and at the same time, they can't help but have higher expectations for the coming year.

The harvest continued, and the group went to another coconut tree. (To be continued......)
