Chapter 52: The Hypocritical Peach
Qian Jiangyao immediately said: "Fang Xiaotian, stop!" ”
"On the side of the street on the right side of the fork in the road, there is an old lady with a basket of peaches on her back who has fallen, and it seems that she can't get up, and there is no one near her, so let's go and help her."
Fang Xiaotian looked at the place where Qian Jiangyao said, and saw the old lady who fell to the ground and the peaches scattered all over the ground near her, Fang Xiaotian immediately braked.
After a while, Qian Jiangyao took Fang Xiaotian, Loach, and Climbing Beans to the old lady who fell.
Climbing Beans ran in the front, and before Qian Jiangyao could speak, Climbing Beans took the initiative to help the old lady up carefully.
When the loach saw that the climbing beans were helping the old lady, he immediately took the initiative to pick up the peaches scattered on the ground and picked them up one by one back into the old lady's back basket.
Qian Jiangyao looked at the loaches and climbing beans with work in their eyes, and knew what it looked like to work without shouting, and was very satisfied with the two of them: both of them were diligent people.
Qian Jiangyao likes diligent people like them.
Qian Jiangyao came to the old lady's side and asked the old lady with concern: "Old man, do you feel uncomfortable in your body?" ”
"Do you need us to take you to the hospital so that the doctor can see you?"
The old lady glanced at Qian Jiangyao, and after standing firm with the help of climbing beans, the old lady shook her head and said, "No need, I don't have to go to the hospital." ”
"I'm fine, it's just that my butt hurts a little, I just got home and rubbed it with medicine and wine, just now I accidentally slipped on my foot and fell, I was originally very healthy.
I fell down and couldn't get up on my own because I was old, I was 82 years old, and I was still carrying a basket of peaches on my back. ”
Qian Jiangyao saw that the old lady's voice was full of anger, her breathing rate, and her face were also normal, and she really didn't look like she was doing something, so she didn't say anything.
Qian Jiangyao saw that the old lady was thanking the climbing beans who helped her up, and Qian Jiangyao also followed the loach to help the old lady pick up the peaches scattered on the ground.
As soon as Qian Jiangyao picked up the peaches scattered on the ground, Qian Jiangyao found that this peach was different from ordinary peaches, and this peach was particularly fragrant.
This peach is obviously just in her hand, but Qian Jiangyao has a feeling of putting the peach next to her nose, and the tempting peach fragrance spontaneously drills into her nose.
When Qian Jiangyao first came here, he smelled the rich peach fragrance, Qian Jiangyao originally thought that there were many peaches and they were all ripe, so they were fragrant, but now it seems that it is the problem of this peach variety.
Qian Jiangyao took the peach and observed it carefully, and pinched it again, and found that this peach looked like a peach at first glance, and the feeling of pinching it was also like pinching a peach, but its color was lighter than the color of a peach, and it was about the same color as a peach blossom.
The shape is also a little more shriveled and square than the peach, and there is a slight convex in the middle, which looks particularly like a gold ingot, and the skin is almost not fluffy, and it is smooth as jade to the touch.
If it weren't for the fact that it was soft to the touch, Qian Jiangyao would have the feeling that this was a peach in the shape of a gold ingot, carved from jade.
According to Qian Jiangyao's eyes that he was used to eating tribute in his previous life, this peach is the best peach in terms of appearance.
I am looking for a fruit that is suitable for selling as a high-end fruit, isn't this peach delivered to my door?
Qian Jiangyao flipped through the memory of the original owner, and there was no information about this kind of peach in the memory of the original owner.
Qian Jiangyao took the peach and asked the old lady curiously: "Old man, what kind of peach are you?" It smells so good! The skin is also slippery to the touch, as if it has been greased, and this is the first time I have seen it. ”
"This peach was dug up on a cliff when my wife went into the mountains to collect medicine twenty years ago, and my wife didn't know what it was called, it looked like a gold ingot, and it was fragrant, so my wife named it a gold ingot."
"This peach smells fragrant, eats more fragrant, fragrant and sweet, the skin is thin and the flesh is thick, the yield is also high, a tree can bear hundreds of catties of peaches, and it is indiscriminate, and in the spring, a peach tree branch is inserted into the soil, it can live, and our village is now a large piece of this peach."
"Old man, since there is a large piece of this peach in your village, it smells fragrant, it tastes more fragrant, fragrant and sweet, the skin is thin and hairless, the flesh is thick, and the yield is also high, so why haven't I seen anyone sell this peach before?"
"Not long ago, I walked through the entire street of Mawan County, and I didn't see anyone selling this peach."
"Little comrade, no one sells it normally, this gold ingot peach is good in all aspects, that is, it is soft when it is ripe, it is very hypocritical, it can't be squeezed, and it can't be broken, as long as it is squeezed or fallen, if you don't eat it that day, it will become ripe and rotten the next day, and then you will have a rancid taste and die when you eat it.
Ripe gold ingots peaches are particularly difficult to preserve, this gold ingots peaches are only delicious and fragrant when they are ripe, and the hard ones that are not ripe are astringent, and they are so unpalatable that no one eats them.
When the back is sold and weighed, it will always bump and bump, it will hurt the peach, and it is impossible for people to buy peaches and go back to take the peach as a treasure in the palm of their hands, and it will always hurt it more or less.
More than ten years ago, there were also people who sold this peach, many people who bought peaches found that the peaches were injured and ripe and could not be eaten the next day, and people would not buy them twice, and then no one carried this gold ingots and peaches to sell on the street. ”
When Qian Jiangyao heard the old lady's words, she was even happier, this peach is pretentious!
Its hypocrisy is a natural reason to sell for a high price.
Scarcity is expensive, and this kind of pretentious things that are difficult to store and transport are the best choice for selling high-end fruits at high prices.
"Not to mention selling gold ingots and peaches, almost no one will pick them and give them away, they all pick them from the tree and eat them when they come home, and this thing is suitable for picking and eating."
"I came here with peaches this time, all because my great-grandson will go back to the city early tomorrow morning, and my eldest grandson loves to eat this peach, so I carried a basket of peaches and wanted to send them to my great-grandson, so that he could bring them back to his father."
"If this peach is not so pretentious, I don't have to carry so much, I carry a basket of peaches, but all of them have not rolled to the ground, and tomorrow it will be delicious in the hands of my eldest grandson, it is estimated that there are only five or six."
Qian Jiangyao glanced at the old lady's back basket, and estimated that there were about fifty or sixty peaches in her back basket, and five or six of the fifty or sixty were left to eat, which was a big loss!
Qian Jiangyao sighed: "Then this peach is really hypocritical enough." ”
"By the way, old man, it's almost dark now, why are you so old to carry peaches here alone, why don't you let your young people help you carry them?"
When the old lady heard Qian Jiangyao's words, she was stunned for a second, and then said bitterly: "My family is unfortunate, their brothers are not in harmony, and the young people in the family are not willing to send peaches to my eldest grandson, and they don't allow me to send peaches to my eldest grandson, so only I, the old woman, secretly carry peaches to send them." ”
"Don't talk about this, I get angry when I mention this, anyway, this peach will not be able to eat it until tomorrow, and I don't need to bring it to my eldest grandson, now take it back and eat it as soon as possible, little comrade, these peaches will be given to you!"
