Knock knock knock......

"Brother Li Tian, I know you haven't slept yet, come and open the door!"

It was already dark, and the voice of Xiao En's girl came from outside Li Tianmen.

"Shhh, why are you so rude, you should ask the owner of the house if she is asleep first, and then ask to open the door, how can you be so arrogant"

There was another woman reprimanding the little girl outside the house, but listening to this voice, it was obvious that it was more doting than reprimanding.

"Come on, come on, it's the aunt and the little en" Li Tian opened the door and saw that it was the aunt and the little en.

Li Tian asked with a little doubt: "Auntie, why did you come here at night, is there something wrong?" ”

"It's such a small day, the red fruit is ripe, and you can pick it tomorrow, I asked the shopkeeper before, and everyone else is busy, so the shopkeeper asked me to ask you, can you help pick the red fruit?"

"So that's the case, okay aunt, I also have red fruits at home, and I've picked them a few times." Li Tian happily agreed.

Hearing that Li Tianneng could help pick the fruit, the aunt breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to Li Tian: "Then trouble Xiaotian, you will be busy tomorrow morning.

When you have eaten in the afternoon, you can take a few of the baskets that are placed in the storeroom of the restaurant. Most of the red fruits we picked have to be taken back to the restaurant. ”

"Okay aunt~" Li Tian heard that it was the shopkeeper's order, so he didn't refuse, and hurriedly agreed to Aunt Wang.

"Xiaotian, then you rest, let's go back first, I guess the big guys should come back in a while, I have to go back and divide the clothes for everyone."

In fact, Aunt Wang is not easy every day, so many guys' clothes, and some other things to clean up, the most important thing is that she has to get food for Xiao En's little gluttonous cat, and the daily arrangement is also full.

"Auntie, then go back and get busy, and pay attention to rest," Li Tian said with concern.

The aunt took the little girl back, and when she left, the little girl turned around and made a grimace at Li Tian.

In the evening, Hou Ping and Zheng Yifan came back together.

Zheng Yifan also has a lot of free time, but most of the time is during the day, and he has to go back to the restaurant at night to reconcile.

As for Li Tian, after he finished chopping the firewood and returned to the dormitory, Zheng Yifan had already set off for the restaurant at that time, which gave the two of them a certain amount of comfortable time in the dormitory.

Hou Ping was still bragging about the wine party during the day, and said, only the eldest young master of Qian Zhuang could be so extravagant. He invited this meal, which was enough for Hou Ping's salary for a year.

Zheng Yifan refuted Hou Ping, saying that there are more rich people, Hou Ping only knows those rich people on the surface, but he doesn't know that most rich people like to hide and tuck, and it is safest if their wealth is not exposed.

Zheng Yifan also said that Qian Zhuang and the people in the government were talking about a big business about the mine, and if it was done, there would be countless amounts of money earned, which could be compared to the price of this meal.

Zheng Yifan is worthy of being brought out by the shopkeeper, and his knowledge is indeed outstanding, how can Hou Ping and Li Tian know these secret news. Thinking of the money bank that could make so much money, Li Tian and Hou Ping were speechless for a while.

"Brother Monkey, didn't the shopkeeper tell you that he wanted to pick red fruits?" Li Tian asked with some confusion.

Because Hou Ping likes to join in the fun, Hou Ping didn't come back this time to pick red fruits, Li Tian felt a little strange.

"Hey, Xiaotian, don't say it, the restaurant will be chartered tomorrow.

It was ordered by the third master, and we don't know which big man came this time, and these little two in the store will have to be on standby to listen to the orders at that time.

Otherwise, I really want to come back and pick red fruits, and eat them while picking them, so I can enjoy eating them. ”

Hou Ping continued to mutter: "If you don't pick the fruit, Xiaotian, you are the most leisurely, and how much firewood can be used by a table of guests!" After Hou Ping said this, Li Tian saw Hou Ping winked and tilted Zheng Yifan.

Li Tian understood that most of them were also shopkeepers who didn't want to be idle, and others were also free, but he didn't let others come over to pick red fruits.

Hou Ping didn't say this explicitly, after all, Zheng Yifan was still beside him.

……

……

After a night, the next day did not wait for the afternoon, after breakfast, the shopkeeper came to the firewood room, saw that the firewood was enough, and asked Li Tian to go to the utility room to get the basket.

The shopkeeper told Li Tian to try his best to finish picking in the morning, and if he couldn't finish picking in the morning, he would pick as much as he could, and send the picked red fruits back at noon, which would be used to entertain guests in the afternoon.

Li Tian agreed, took a few baskets and rushed back to the house.

Knock knock knock......

"Xiao En, hurry up and open the door, we are going to pick fruits in the morning" Li Tian knocked on the door outside the dormitory, and shouted to the little girl to open the door.

"It's coming~" The little girl in it responded.

The little girl also knew that Li Tian had something to do at this time today, so she didn't play with Li Tian, she immediately opened the door without saying anything, and after closing the door, she took two baskets from Li Tian and helped Li Tian hold them.

The little girl was sensible and didn't play with Li Tian, but someone obviously didn't have this awareness.

Li Tian looked at the little girl who was not tall, and she had a big basket in her hand, which was very interesting, and said to the little girl with a smile: "Xiao En, do you know the wooden snail?" ”

"I know, it's thin at the bottom and thick at the top, and you can turn it around with a whip, but it's fun" Xiao En girl obviously played with it, and replied to Li Tian without thinking.

"Well, Xiao En is right, Xiao En, you turn around twice in place" Li Tian first agreed with Xiao En's girl, and then let Xiao En turn in circles.

"What's the good end of the circle?" Xiao En said it, but he still turned around obediently.

"Huh...... It's all a little dizzy, is it like this? The little girl was a little dizzy.

When Xiao En's girl stood firm, Li Tiancai said: "That's right, just turn like this, it's really like!" ”

"Like what? Brother Li Tian, why can't I understand what you said? The little girl was even more confused, thinking about what she was talking about.

"Hehe, like a big wooden snail~poof~hahahaha......" Li Tian couldn't help it and laughed out loud.

"You ......" "Li Tian, you're too bad, smash you to death~"

The little girl didn't think of it at first, but she imagined herself holding two baskets in a circle, and found that it really looked like a big wooden snail, and suddenly smashed the two baskets in her hand at Li Tian angrily and funny.

It was probably because she was too shy, so she ran back to the house to find her mother without looking back.

Here, Li Tian laughed heartlessly for a while, picked up the basket that Xiao En girl threw on the ground, and came to the bottom of the red fruit tree.

When it comes to red fruits, this fruit is quite peculiar.

When it is not ripe, people will have diarrhea after eating, and some people use unripe red fruits as laxatives, and the effect is quite good.

Also, this kind of tree, the trunk is thick, the branches and leaves of the tree are not very dense, the thick trunk, and then some branches are branched upwards, and then there are the stems with red fruits, and the stems connected to each fruit must be about the thickness of an adult's fingers, so this fruit grows very strong.

Strong winds don't necessarily blow the fruit off.

That is, the last time the mine collapsed, the whole town was shaking, and only then did the red fruits in the yard shake a few down. Most of the rest hang peacefully from the trees.

However, don't look at the thick stems attached to the fruit, which is not easy to fall from the tree, but the fruit is very brittle, and once it falls to the ground, it will crumble.

This red fruit will crush when you pinch it with a little effort, so you have to be extra careful when picking it, if you let the fruit fall to the ground, then basically the fruit will be wasted.

If you want to save trouble, and one person on the top of the tree picks it, and one person under the tree holds a basket to pick it underneath, then the fruit will smash the fruit, and most of the two fruits will have to be smashed.

This is also why, the shopkeeper asked Li Tian to come back early to pick the fruits on these red fruit trees, and he was afraid that Li Tian would not be able to finish picking them in the morning.

In addition, I heard that the most amazing thing about this fruit is that it grows in different places, and the color of the fruit will be different.

Li Tian once heard Hou Ping say that one year, just in time for the fruit to ripen, the people who went into the mountains to hunt saw a red fruit tree with a yellowish fruit, but there was a very difficult beast under the fruit tree.

It took a lot of effort for the hunters to make a trap for the beast, which had thick skin and thick flesh, and the hunters could not do anything about it. Seeing that the fierce beast was about to get out of trouble, the hunters had no choice but to pick a few red fruits of this yellowish color.

But I didn't think that this yellowish fruit had a very miraculous effect, and soon after the hunters ate it, their strength doubled, and they all became strong men.

Later, the hunters tried to go back and pick the fruit, but they found that there was no fruit left on the tree, and the beast was gone.

The hunters were not reconciled, and wanted to dig up the fruit tree and bring it back, but they soon despaired after digging and digging, and the roots of the red fruit tree were extremely strong, and several people with multiplied strength dug for an afternoon before breaking a branch, and finally had to give up.

Later, the fruit of the red fruit tree was all ordinary red fruit.

Li Tian thought of the story Hou Ping told him in the red fruit tree, and couldn't help but yearn for it, how good it would be if the red fruit tree in front of him could bear that kind of magical fruit, and when the time came, he would eat up his innate divine power, and he would definitely strangle all the traffickers in Zhenbei one by one to relieve the hatred in his heart.

When Li Tian was thinking wildly, the aunt moved a high stool over, followed by Xiao En, who carried a frame in her hand.

The little girl is still angry there, her mouth is pouting, she is angry, very cute.

"Xiaotian, you came back so early, I thought you would have to come back in the afternoon to pick fruits!" The aunt put down the high stool and took out a pair of cutting scissors from the frame in the little girl's hand.

There are two tools in the frame in the little girl's hand, one is a scissors and the other is a sickle.

Needless to say, scissors are a crescent-shaped knife with a blade, with a wooden handle attached to the crescent, which can be cut to a greater distance.

These scissors are the main tools for picking fruit today.

The finger-thick stem can only be cut with these scissors, so someone needs to be on the tree, cutting it with one hand and holding it with the other.

If you go straight to the pick, you'll probably break the fruit in half.

The difficulty of picking red fruits can be imagined.

"Auntie, the shopkeeper was in a hurry at noon, so he asked me to come back early." Li Tian explained to his aunt.

"Okay, wait until I get you a ladder, let's get started......" The aunt wants to go and get a ladder so that Li Tian can easily go up the tree.

"What are you doing with the ladder, auntie, look at me!" Li Tian took the scissors and pinned them to his waist.

I saw Li Tian climb the tree in two or two clicks, if it weren't for the fact that Hou Ping had been nicknamed Monkey, then Li Tian could have been called this title, he was really as flexible as a monkey.

"Wow...... It's amazing~" The little girl next to her couldn't help but exclaim, but then the little girl seemed to remember something, snorted, turned her head, and didn't look at Li Tian.

Li Tian carefully picked a big red fruit with scissors, glanced at the fully ripe big red fruit in his hand, Li Tian put it in, and climbed down again in three or two.

The aunt over there saw that Li Tian had already started picking fruits, so she was ready to cooperate with Li Tian, but she didn't expect Li Tian to come down again.

"Xiaotian, what are you ......" the aunt asked Li Tian suspiciously.

Li Tian made a gesture, came to the angry little girl, handed the big red fruit to the little girl, and said, "Little En, Brother Li Tian was joking with you just now, come, eat a big red fruit, crisp and sweet." After eating the big red fruit, is it okay to help Brother Li Tian and his mother work! ”

Looking at the big red fruit in front of her, Xiao Enya didn't know how to tell herself once in her heart that she would never compromise.

But......

"Hmph, next time I say I'm like a big snail, I'll ignore you" The little girl still couldn't resist the temptation of the food and compromised......
