Chapter 23 Picking Goji Berries
You don't need special tools to pick wolfberries, it's enough to have the back worm you bought yesterday, because you have to go up the mountain with Aunt Li, so Lin Zhu got up early in the morning to get ready, with Aunt Li there, the space can't be exposed, so you can't put water in the space. I had to put it in my back first, and then take it out when I got somewhere. Because he didn't know when he would be able to go down the mountain, Lin Zhu baked two more oil cakes to make dry food. When it was ready, Aunt Li also came.
In order not to make people suspicious, Aunt Li took advantage of the night last night to send her back and basket over, and also took five, so now Aunt Li is empty-handed at the door.
The two went out directly from the backyard and went up to Xiaoqingshan. This time I went up the mountain mainly to pick wolfberries, so I was afraid that the black beans would get in the way, so Lin Zhu didn't take it with me, so I let it take a good look at the house, I don't know if Lu Dao understood Lin Zhu's words, the black beans sat quietly in the backyard and watched them leave.
Aunt Li and Lin Zhu went to Xiaoqingshan, Lin Zhu is young and has little strength, so she always has to rest a few times along the way, and Aunt Li is also very considerate of her, not only taking the water in her back to herself, but also pulling her from time to time. This time I went up the mountain mainly to pick wolfberries, unlike the time when Lin Zhu came by himself, it was very relaxed and leisurely. Last time, it took Lin Zhu half an hour to get to the place where there were wolfberries, but this time the two focused on climbing the mountain, saving half of the time.
When I arrived at the place where I picked wolfberries last time, Lin Zhu found that there were still a lot of wolfberries growing densely on the branches of the wolfberry tree. "There are so many beetroot seeds, and the ones we've seen before don't grow so much." Lin Zhu, who put down the back of the back, asked Aunt Li to put it down as well, and said: "I guess this is the reason why no one has picked it here, otherwise there will be nothing left long ago." "It's also said that this kind of tree, there are not many on Daqing Mountain, so many people go up the mountain, pick it when they see it, and it is gone when it is late, and when they go up the mountain to cut firewood in winter, they see that these branches are easy to cut, so they cut it as firewood, and slowly there are few of these trees on Daqing Mountain. Even if there is, it is in the mountains, and no one will enter the mountains for a few snacks. Speaking of which, Aunt Li was embarrassed.
As they spoke, the two began to pick, and Lin Zhu deliberately picked in the opposite direction with Aunt Li in order to hide the existence of the space. Aunt Li often does farm work, her hands and feet are sharp, and she picks a lot quickly, and she picks a lot after a while. Lin Zhuren has little strength, plus she picks it up on her back and collects it in the space, so not only can't she catch up with Aunt Li's, but even the quantity is not enough.
The two of them picked until almost noon, five or six trees, almost let her two pick them all, although they rested for a while, but after picking for so long a day, Lin Zhu really couldn't stand it, plus the back was already full, she looked at Aunt Li's back was almost full, so she beckoned Aunt Li to rest for a while.
"Auntie, let's pick it up too, let's rest for a while." Lin Zhu poured two bowls of water and took out the oil cake that had been prepared in the morning. Aunt Li saw that the tree was almost picked, so she stopped, walked to Lin Zhu and took the water and oil cakes she handed over. "I have to take a break, don't look at the big things, it's really tiring to pick up." took a sip of water, looked at the oil cake in his hand, and said, "Xiaozhu, you are still thoughtful, I am really hungry at this time." Ate a mouthful of oil cakes, "Xiaozhu, my aunt has something I don't know if I can say it?" "What can't be said about this, you are an elder, and you should also guide the juniors." Afraid that he would not do well in something, Lin Zhu hurriedly invited Aunt Li to sit down and talk in detail. "Before this Lin steward and the Wang family left, you don't have to worry about the family life, there will definitely be something for you to eat if they eat, but now you are alone, you are very particular about eating, but sometimes you have to do what you can." Aunt Li's words made Lin Zhu confused, "Although you have a few acres of land, but only two acres are rice, how much rice does this produce, your dry land actually does not produce much, in our case, dry land is inferior field, bad years, dry land is not as good as planting." Aunt Li saw that she still didn't understand, so she had to make her words clear, "Auntie is not an outsider, and you don't have to take a good treat every time." Compared with the oil cake in her hand, "This oil cake is good, but the aunt can't bear it." ”
After listening to Aunt Li's words, Lin Zhu was very heartwarming, if she wasn't really good for her, she wouldn't have said such a thing at all, Lin Zhu was very moved. "I know, aunt, it's just that there is still some food at home, and I can't eat much by myself." "You have to live a long life, you have to learn to be careful and calculated." Aunt Li unconsciously told Lin Zhu the principle of running a house.
In Aunt Li's earnest teaching, the rest time passed quickly, and the two of them picked up about the same, and they were ready to go down the mountain. "Auntie, I see that the picks here are almost over, and I shouldn't have to come over tomorrow." Lin Zhu asked Aunt Li's opinion as he walked, "Well, it's almost over here, you can come back in a few days." I'm tired. ”
"It's a little tiring, but if you can earn money, you won't be afraid of being tired." Lin Zhu looked at Aunt Li with a smile, and the way she mentioned money made Aunt Li very funny. "Let's go back today, hang these first, and then go to a farther place in two days to see if there are any wolfberry trees, on such a big mountain, you can't just have these few trees."
"If there are only a few Xiaoqingshan, then wait for the spring to pinch the branches and stick them in the yard, and when they are grown, they don't need to go up the mountain to pick them." Lin Zhu told Aunt Li what he thought.
"This method is good, why don't you think of it," Aunt Li thought it was a good idea, but after thinking about it, "What if I can't live?" ”
"It's okay, let's try to plant a few branches first, and instead of digging up the whole tree, it won't affect the trees on the mountain."
"If that's what you say, then you can try." Aunt Li nodded. Because they were full of loads, and they had to worry about their feet, the speed of the two of them going down the mountain was very slow, and when they arrived at Lin Zhu's house, it was already past lunch time.
The two of them didn't have time to eat, so they first put the wolfberries in the back into the basket, picked up the broken ones, and put them in the west wing. "Auntie, you see that we have picked so much, when the sun is ready, how many can we have?" While tidying up, Lin Zhu asked Aunt Li next to him, "It's good to be able to show two catties out of ten catties." Aunt Li estimated slightly.
"I don't know how much Lu Dao can cost, and the steward of Dr. Zhang's family didn't say anything. Don't make a trip in vain. Lin Zhu was a little discouraged. She is very uncertain about this kind of thing, although she knows that she should be able to earn money, but she can earn more and earn less, which directly affects her future development plan and current work enthusiasm.
"Don't worry, you can't be wrong, I think that Dr. Zhang is a knowledgeable person, and he doesn't talk nonsense, he must be true that he can make money. Let's get it right, if we really do it, we have to thank the people. "Aunt Li comforted Lin Zhu and comforted herself, God's words to bless Dr. Zhang are true." When the time comes, we will have to ask Dr. Zhang to take a look, and we will have to listen to him for the first time. Lin Zhu thought about it, how could there be a professional who passed the inspection before he could take out the Lu and sell it.
After all the wolfberries were spread out in the basket, Aunt Li also said goodbye and went home.
Lin Zhu fed the black beans that had been watching the house for a long time, and pondered in the room where he was sitting.
