After Li Zhongbo heard the voice, he turned around, and then stood on the side of the road, intending to let Li Xianyu go first.

At the same time, he smiled: "It's Xiaoyu who is back." It's okay, no, I can afford it. ”

Li Xianyu walked up to Li Zhongbo, stopped the motorcycle, and said, "Grandpa Zhongbo, I use a motorcycle to carry it, so it's always easier." ”

As he spoke, he got off the motorcycle, parked the motorcycle, and lowered the shelves on the left and right sides of the rear rack.

Put a basket on one side, just right.

Seeing this, Li Zhongbo did not refuse anymore, but said: "Xiaoyu, then thank you." ”

Li Xianyu smiled: "Grandpa Zhongbo, what are you doing with me politely?" ”

Then, place the two baskets on the shelf, one on each side, and secure them with ropes.

After stepping on the motorcycle, let Li Zhongbo also get into the car.

Let's go.

Soon arrived at Li Zhongbo's house.

Remove the two baskets.

Li Zhongbo took out a bag from home, which contained something, and said to Li Xianyu: "Xiaoyu, there are a few fruits in here." Say it's called the Buddha's head fruit, and you take it back and eat it. ”

"Buddha's head fruit?" Li Xianyu was slightly stunned. I took the bag and opened it to see that it was really a Buddha's head fruit.

Li Xianyu was surprised: "Grandpa Zhongbo, where did you get this fruit?" ”

Li Zhongbo said: "Li Yue sent it back to me." It's said that this fruit is rare, but we don't have it in these places, so let me try it. This is indeed the first time I have seen such a fruit. But it was so sweet, I didn't eat it again after I ate one with your grandmother Liu. You young people take it and eat it. ”

I see.

Li Yue is Li Zhongbo's grandson. It seems that in Zhejiang Province, I still work somewhere.

A few years older than Li Xianyu.

And the Buddha's head fruit is also called Sakya fruit, custard and other names.

It is named because the fruit looks a bit like a Buddha's head and a bit like an enlarged version of a lychee.

It is a polymeric berry, spherical or heart-shaped conical, with a diameter of more than 10 cm. The peel is yellowish-green.

The biggest characteristic of this fruit is that it is sweet, very sweet.

It is claimed to be the sweetest fruit in the world.

Li Xianyu had eaten it in his previous life. It felt like eating honey.

The taste is good. But you can't eat more at once.

Eat a little more and it will be sweet.

This fruit is indeed not very suitable for the elderly.

Li Xianyu said with a smile: "This Buddha head fruit is a tropical fruit, mainly in the coastal area. We don't have them in these places. Brother Yue specially sent it to you to try it, I am very heartfelt! ”

Li Zhongbo had a smile on his face and said, "It's just too sweet, we can't eat it." I ate one with your grandmother Liu, and I can be regarded as having tasted it. Take the rest back and let your parents try it too. ”

Li Xianyu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Then thank you Grandpa Zhongbo." ”

Li Zhongbo waved his hand and said, "What are you doing politely, kid?" ”

Afterwards, Li Xianyu said goodbye and rode home on a motorcycle.

After arriving home, Li Xianyu told his parents that he had sent Li Zhongbo corn back before, and Li Zhongbo had sent a few Buddha head fruits.

Mom and Dad all said that Grandpa Zhongbo was too polite. Why do you want to help pack some corn?

Then he looked at the Buddha's head fruit and was amazed, "There is such a fruit." See you for the first time. ”

Li Xianyu smiled: "There are more fruits you haven't seen." Including me, too. This fruit is very sweet, I'll cut one for you to taste. ”

As he spoke, he used a kitchen knife to divide a Buddha's head fruit into two and let his parents taste it.

After my parents tasted it, they said that it was indeed too sweet. It's just sweet and greasy.

Li Xianyu smiled. Of course it's sweet. Otherwise, how dare people call it the sweetest fruit in the world?

However, some people say that there is a fruit called arrowroot on the African side. That's really the sweetest fruit in the world.

Moreover, it is the sweetest substance in the world.

It is said that the sugar content of its pulp can reach up to 3,000 times that of sucrose.

I don't know if it's true?

Li Xianyu did not see an authoritative official confirmation,

It's just a refusal. It's hard to say whether it's true or not.

Li Xianyu has not eaten it either. No presumptuous comments.

Not long after, Ling Xiaoyue came back from school.

"Girl, come over here and give you something good."

Ling Xiaoyue ran over very happily, "Did you bring me something delicious?" ”

Li Xianyu took out a Buddha head fruit and said, "It was given by Grandpa Zhongbo." Have you eaten it before? ”

Ling Xiaoyue said curiously: "What kind of fruit is this?" It's weird. Is it tasty? ”

Li Xianyu said: "You can taste it." ”

Ling Xiaoyue said, "How do you eat it?" Want to peel it? ”

Li Xianyu said: "Yes." The skin is very soft, you just break it and eat it. ”

Ling Xiaoyue broke the fruit and took a bite, "Wow! It's so sweet! But it's delicious. ”

Then continue to eat in large gulps.

This girl is not afraid of sweetness.

After Ling Xiaoyue finished eating, Li Xianyu took out three more and said, "Give you three more." Take it back and let Uncle Ling and Aunt Xu taste it too. ”

"Okay." Ling Xiaoyue took the three Buddha head fruits and turned around and walked towards her house.

Didn't take two steps. Break another one and eat as you go.

This girl......

……

The next day.

It's Saturday again.

Ling Xiaoyue's family is going to harvest a piece of dry corn today. UU reads books

Li Xianyu, as well as his parents all went to help.

This piece of land is the land where Li Xianyu and Ling Xiaoyue first looked for tender corn to eat.

The corn can now be harvested.

Time flies.

This piece of land is about three points long, which is relatively large.

But there are a lot of people, and it is still very quick to put it away.

In less than an hour, all the corn in the entire field was harvested.

The next thing to do is to get the corn back again.

Li Xianyu, Dad, and Ling Zhongchi were picked by the three of them. Mom and Aunt Xu used their backs to carry them.

One person made two trips, and all the corn was brought back to the house.

The corn is then spread out in the yard and let the sun shine.

After drying it, peel the corn again, it will be easier to peel it.

Nowadays, in many places, corn is peeled by machines.

The speed of the machine is very fast, a corn cob is put in, and after a few brushes, all the corn kernels are taken off.

However, there are basically no machines in Longmen Village, and they are all manually peeled by hand or with the help of simple tools such as rubber soles.

The main thing is that everyone's volume is not large. There is not much need for a machine.

In addition, corn kernels peeled by machine are more likely to grow worms than manual peeling during storage.

Because the machine will cause some damage to some corn kernels during the peeling process.

The machine is convenient, fast and easy, but it will have some drawbacks.

Therefore, the village is still basically peeled by hand.

Peeling corn is a memory that many people who grew up in the countryside and then worked in the city have some pain in their hearts, but they are inexplicably nostalgic and can never go back.

Time flies, and there are too many things that can only be missed in memories.
