Chapter 292: The pineapple is ripe
"Miss Cheng, the fruits in our field are almost ripe, when will you harvest them?"
It's May 20, and on the tenth day of the first month of May, Cheng Yangyang went to pay her salary, and said that she could collect it in another ten days, but after ten days, she hadn't come yet, so Village Chief Liu came to ask her in person.
Cheng Yangyang also wanted to go and see it today, and the day after tomorrow a new issue of the newspaper will be issued, and she has already written the manuscript for Wang Tong to send it.
No, these two days have been inexplicably delayed by the emperor's patrol!
"Village Chief Liu, I'm about to go out to your village!" she shook the basket behind her at him, she was ready to pick up the fruit.
"Ouch! He's so good, I thought you were busy and forgot!" Village Chief Liu breathed a sigh of relief, he patted his grandson on the shoulder, "Boy, you go to class, I'll go back." ”
"Grandpa go slowly!" Village Chief Liu's grandson waved at him, and then ran off to play with the others.
"Village Chief Liu, why don't you go into the house and drink saliva before leaving!" He arrived with the children early in the morning, and before he could sit down, he was going back again.
"No, no, Miss Cheng, let's go when you're ready!"
"Then let's go!" Cheng Yangyang had no choice but to follow him.
Liujiacun has hung several kinds of fruits this year, peaches, pineapples, and lychees, all of which are ripe in May, and she can market several kinds of them at once!
The people in the village looked at the heavy fruit on the tree, they were excited and looking forward to it, and they would soon be able to divide the fruit like Liu Wei's family.
Village Chief Liu drove the ox cart and pulled Cheng Yangyang to Liujia Village as fast as possible.
"Ouch, Miss Cheng! Boss Cheng, you're here!" The people of Liujia Village were waiting for her at the entrance of the village under the big sun!
"Let everyone be anxious", Cheng Yangyang got out of the car and was pulled to the field by the villagers, "I was going to come the day before, but something was delayed, I'm sorry!"
"It's okay, it's okay if you're here!" the crowd led her through a fruitless orange tree to the lychee forest.
"Miss Cheng, do you think this is ripe?" asked the villager who planted lychees.
Cheng Yangyang had to bend down slightly when he stood under the tree, this lychee hung too much, and the branches were bent.
She stretched out her hand and folded a branch, on which hung eight or nine red fruits, peeled them off in front of everyone, and the red skin was crystal clear white flesh.
Cheng Yangyang put the fruit in his nose and smelled it, and the unique fragrance of lychees suddenly wafted around, even Village Chief Liu, who was standing on the side, smelled it.
"Yo, it smells so good!"
"yes, it smells sweet!"
Cheng Yangyang tasted one, and the familiar taste almost moved her to tears!
"Miss Cheng, why are you crying?" she couldn't help crying, making the villagers of Liujia Village panic, "Isn't it sweet?"
No, they've tasted it, it's sweet!
"No, it's not!" Cheng Yangyang shook her head, she grabbed Village Chief Liu's arm excitedly, and said with a smile: "It's so sweet!
"Really!" everyone was even happier when they saw that she was sure, and it seemed that they were about to make money.
"Great!"
"Miss Cheng! Miss Cheng!" When everyone was happy, several villagers with sad faces stepped forward, and they dragged down Cheng Yangyang's flying heart, with a sad face.
"What's wrong?" she asked, confused.
"Miss Cheng, this fruit is sweet, but the fruit in our field is not sweet!"
"Why isn't it sweet?"
"Just look at it!" the villagers dragged her to their orchard, and when they saw the thorny thing, they were so sad!
"You're talking about pineapples!" Cheng Yangyang looked at a pineapple field in front of him, and some of the pineapples growing on the top were already yellow.
"It's a pineapple!" The villagers looked like they had a headache when they saw a pineapple, patted their thighs and said in annoyance: "You said that I took care of this fruit with all my heart, but it is not sweet!"
"Isn't it sweet?" Cheng Yangyang was a little unconvinced, she stepped forward and picked a pineapple that had already turned yellow, "Whoever has a knife, I'll taste it." ”
She asked the villagers to find a knife, cut it and tried it, "It's very sweet!"
"Yes, the fruit is sweet, but it cuts its mouth!" "What's the use of this cut fruit, no matter how sweet it is, others don't eat it, how can it be sold for a good price!"
"I forgot to tell you that this pineapple should be soaked in salt water before eating, so that you don't cut your mouth", Cheng Yangyang forgot about it, she always thought that eating pineapple was still far away, but she didn't expect this layer.
"Ahh
Cheng Yangyang followed, they picked the yellow ones, she picked a few green ones, and she had to go back to try them.
When everyone went back from the pineapple field, Village Chief Liu saw the green pineapple in her hand, and he asked curiously: "Miss Cheng, what are you doing with this green one, you can't eat it, right?"
"Village Chief Liu, you can eat it! You can eat the green ones, let's go back and try them for everyone, and we will sell the delicious green ones!"
Cheng Yangyang followed to the village chief's house, which has now become a regular gathering place for everyone, and the pineapples they brought back are also piled together, waiting to be peeled.
The village chief's daughter-in-law found two knives, one for the villagers who planted pineapples, and one for Cheng Yangyang, and the two of them sharpened together.
After Cheng Yangyang peeled off the skin, he also picked out the dark black spots according to the texture, and the villagers next to him saw this and also learned from her, "It turns out that it has to be cut like this to be clean." ”
"Village chief, find a bowl to make some water and put a little salt. ”
"It's coming!" Village Chief Liu had already prepared, holding a soup bowl with half a bowl of water in it.
Cheng Yangyang cut a piece of pineapple and put it in the water in front of everyone, but simply picked it up after a while, "It's okay to wash it this way, you can try it." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone cut a slice with their hands and took turns to wash it in the water, "Oh!
"Yes, it's not just sweet, it's so fragrant, the fruits planted by Miss Cheng are so fragrant!"
Only then did they discover that the fruits given to them by Cheng Yangyang have their own unique fragrance, and they are still very beautiful, whether they are eating, looking, or smelling, they are all superb!
"It's delicious!" the villagers who planted pineapples almost cried, they thought they had planted the fruit badly, so they had to eat it like this.
"Miss Cheng, when are we going to pick the fruit?"
"Early the day after tomorrow, you must be able to see fruit in the shop!" she looked back at the crowd, "so tomorrow morning, you can go down to the field to pick fruit!"
"I have provided you with fifteen more ox carts, which will arrive early tomorrow morning, plus the original ten in your village, and twenty-five carts of fruit every day, all of which will be delivered to the city!"
