Chapter 127: Entering the Farm
It's almost eleven o'clock.
Wang Yue, Ye Ran and Lin Xiaomian went back to prepare lunch.
Ye Mo and they continued to sort the fruits, bag them, and put them into baskets...... Transport.
"When are you going to weigh the fruit?" Ye Mo looked at Tang Sui and asked.
"Tomorrow." Tang Sui said: "I don't know if I can pick this pomegranate in one day." ”
"I guess so. It's only forty or fifty thousand catties......"
When they were in their hometown, Ye Mo and his family had a second uncle and a younger uncle...... Almost ten people can pick tens of thousands of catties of mangoes in one day. At that time, I had to carry it on my back, which was much more troublesome than on this side.
The pomegranates were picked quickly, and it seemed that forty or fifty acres had been picked. It's sorting, bagging, and shipping that can't keep up.
Ye Mo and the others were not in a hurry to transport it, and loaded the pomegranates into baskets first.
Half past eleven.
Ye Dad and the others stopped picking, sat under the shade of the tree and smoked a cigarette, and then came over to help sort and transport them together......
After twelve o'clock, Wang Yue rode over and shouted, "It's time to eat." ”
"Wait." Dad Ye said.
"How long will it take?"
"Half an hour."
"Why don't you go back to dinner, and come back in the afternoon."
"There's no hurry." Dad Ye said.
The second and third uncles also said, "I'll eat when I'm done." ”
There are not many pomegranates left without decoration.
Ye Mo moved the fruit boxes to the car, and sent them to the warehouse one by one. Waiting for Dad to finish their work, everyone will transport it together...... Soon, the pomegranates were finished.
It's noon, the sun is big, and the temperature is rising fast.
One by one, they came out of the orchard, all sweating profusely......
"The pomegranates here can be picked in one afternoon." The third uncle took the salted tea handed by Chen Chen, took a sip, and said.
"If you can't pick it today, you can pick it tomorrow, don't worry." Dad Tang took out a cigarette and handed one to everyone.
"We're going to pick mangoes over there." Dad Ye said: "Recently, the high temperature has been going on, and the mangoes have to be picked in advance, so they can't be delayed." ”
"It's really not easy to get these fruits." Wang Yue's father wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"The main thing is that the production is not high. If the yield is high, invite someone to come and pick ......" Father Ye smiled and said, "Go back to eat, sleep after eating, and start work early in the afternoon." ”
"Brother and sister, what did you get for lunch?" Ye Mo looked at Wang Yue and asked with a smile.
"Braised pork, cold meat, braised tofu, stewed pig's trotters, roasted pork ribs...... Several hard dishes. Wang Yue said.
Mother Ye glanced at Ye Mo: "What's the matter, you haven't eaten meat in the past few days?" ”
"Eat meat, eat it every day." Ye Mo smiled.
With a rippling smile on Ye Mo's face, Lin Xiaomian looked over with a red face and smacked him.
When they arrived at Tang Sui's house, Ye Mo washed their hands outside and went into the living room.
"Did you pick half of it in the morning?" Ye Ran asked.
"There should be half." Tang Sui said.
Ye Mo sat next to Lin Xiaomian, opened a bottle of beer, and poured some for Xiaomian: "Good guy, there are still elbows." ”
"I'm tired today, and I've had a good meal." Wang Yue said with a smile.
"Where's the two little girls?"
"They had eaten and slept in their rooms. Sister takes care of sister ......"
"It's good to have two daughters." Ye Mo drank a bowl of wine and put a large elbow into the rice bowl.
"Are you envious?" The second uncle sat at the next table, turned his head to look at Ye Mo, and said with a smile.
"A little."
"Hurry up and eat...... Just your words. Mother Ye glared at him.
Everyone smiled and poured beer into the bowl: "It's hard work for everyone today, let's go first." ”
"Let's go."
Elbows, pig's trotters, these are particularly hard dishes.
After doing the heavy work, it's really good...... Fat but not greasy, it is particularly enjoyable to eat.
After eating, it's a little over.
The sun is too big right now......
"We'll come back at three o'clock in the afternoon. By the time it gets dark, you should be able to pick the pomegranates on your side. Ye Dad said.
"Hey, okay......" Dad Tang and Dad Wang Yue sent them to the gate, and after watching everyone leave, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"It's so tiring to pick fruit." Dad Tang said.
"These days, why don't you get tired." Wang Yue's father said: "Tired, just tired for a few months, grit your teeth, stick to it and it's over." ”
"I'm just expressing my feelings......"
"Dad, why don't you go upstairs and rest?"
"Let's go back to our house." Dad Tang said, "You guys also take a break, you have to do another one in the afternoon." ”
……
Ye Mo and Lin Xiaomian rode back to Gaoshanping, took a bath, and lay down on the bed.
"Tired." Ye Mo looked at Lin Xiaomian.
"I sit and sort pomegranates in the morning, and I don't get tired."
"Sleep......" Ye Mo set the alarm clock for 2:45 minutes, and after a busy morning, Ye Mo was a little tired, and his waist was a little sore......
This hard work is nothing compared to threshing.
Ye Mo fell asleep after lying down for a while, and when he woke up, the alarm clock had not yet sounded.
I slept for about an hour.
Ye Mo was about to get up, and Lin Xiaomian also woke up: "It's time?" ”
"Not yet. Half-past two...... If you feel tired, just rest at home and I'll go over by myself. Ye Mo said.
"I'm not tired." Lin Xiaomian pouted and said.
"Don't be forced to work outside, if you're tired, rest."
"I know ......"
Riding over, Tang Sui and his family were already in the orchard.
Chen Chen and Chen's father also came over. Chen's mother was helping to load the pomegranate on Chen Shan's side......
In the afternoon, Ye Mo, Tang Sui, and Chen Chen also went to pick pomegranates, hung a basket on their chests, and picked pomegranates into the frame......
In the morning, it is estimated that more than 50 acres were picked.
In the afternoon, the fire was at full power, and after two breaks in between, I sat down to smoke two cigarettes...... It was busy until seven o'clock in the evening when all the pomegranates were picked. Then it's sorting, shipping, ......
Finally, it was with a flashlight that all the pomegranates were loaded into the warehouse.
Tang Sui and his family had never done these jobs before, and they couldn't keep up with their speed or physical strength. Otherwise, the 130 acres of pomegranates here can be harvested early.
16 ...... Chen Chen's mother also came to help after four o'clock in the afternoon.
Forty or fifty thousand catties of pomegranates, this amount is not a lot, and everyone is divided into three thousand catties.
At the end of the day, everyone was tired, including Ye Mo.
They have off-road transporters that can be used in the orchard, the car can go anywhere in the orchard, and the pomegranate trees here are not high...... In this way, more than a dozen of them can pick 130 acres and 40,000 catties of pomegranates in one day.
130 acres of orchards, the area is too large.
There are not many pomegranates on each tree, and some trees do not even bear fruit at all......
It's been a hard day.
After finishing work, everyone was very relaxed and came to Tang Sui's house with a smile......
At this dinner in the evening, I drank a lot of wine, ate a large piece of meat, chatted about the Longmen Formation, and ate until after half past ten, and then it ended.
