Chapter 36: Bills, Bills!

How can a man be called a mature man if he can't even control a woman who pursues her?

Zhang Xu greeted them indifferently.

"Here you go, let's go straight to the mountain."

Ever since Zhang Li saw Zhang Xulai, her eyes never left him. Her eyes were very spicy, and she seemed to have swallowed Zhang Xu alive.

"Zhang Xu, I haven't seen you for a few days, it's been a long time.

You're handsome again. Your skin is dark and masculine. Do you really miss me?

If you're with me, I promise to work for you every day for free. “

Here we go again.

Zhang Li is like this. As long as she seizes the opportunity to express her feelings to Zhang Xu, everyone in the factory will know.

Zhang Xu habitually did not answer her words, but said to Zhang Lan: "Zhang Lan, do you still know the way?" ”

Zhang Lan nodded.

"Yes."

"Okay, then lead the way ahead. I'll talk to Zhang Li. ”

Zhang Lan's face was a little gloomy, then she nodded and walked towards the mountain.

Her face was grabbed by Zhang Xu.

All he has is for Zhang Li to come here for a purpose.

Zhang Li and Zhang Lan are roommates and friends.

Zhang Li likes Zhang Xu, and Zhang Lan knows this.

Zhang Lan's people are pure in thought. They are not women who like to compete with others. When they worked, Zhang Li was in the middle, so they could break Zhang Lan's thoughts.

Of course, he called Zhang Li not to give her a chance, but also to completely dispel her thoughts.

So, he had the next conversation with Zhang Li.

Zhang Xu was a few steps behind and walked hand in hand with Zhang Li.

Zhang Li was complacent and wanted to approach Zhang Xu without a trace.

"Zhang Xu, did you change your mind when you asked me to pick fruits?

I haven't seen you in a few days. In fact, you missed me. You've finally found out that you like me, haven't you? “

It's no joke.

Zhang Li did not give up on Zhang Xu. She has such thick skin.

Zhang Xu said to Zhang Li in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Zhang Li, you misunderstood me.

I asked you to come because Zhang Lan said you wanted to come, but it was not easy for Zhang Lan not to let you come.

Now that you're here, work hard. It's an opportunity to make money, not an opportunity you told me.

I've definitely turned you down many times, and as an employer, I'll reiterate that to you.

I don't like you, past, present, or future.

You don't have to waste your mind on me. ”

A hurt expression flashed in Zhang Li's eyes, and then a cute smiling face was pulled out.

"Well, I know. I'll pick the fruit carefully. ”

Zhang Xu couldn't control his thoughts.

Zhang Xu felt that it was too difficult, as if he had broken the hearts of the two girls.

But that's his principle. He doesn't want to misunderstand anyone he doesn't like.

"Hey, I've got to hurry up and investigate the World Hotel."

Zhang Xu sighed in his heart.

The second time, Zhang Xu began to work with Zhang Li and Zhang Lan.

For the fruit to be picked, Zhang Xu had already poured blood a little in advance, but there may be something missing.

When they don't pay attention to ripening the fruit, he carries a sprayer on his back and sprays the blood.

The two women are mainly responsible for fruit picking, and they also do chores such as carrying fruit.

In fact, carrying fruit is just a show. When the others saw the fruit, Zhang Xu immediately realized.

Consciousness can be fresh or fluid.

Zhang Xu observed that Zhang Li was working hard.

Although she is the character of a little girl, she is unequivocal in her work.

Of course, the speed and carefulness are not as good as Zhang Lan.

With the help of two people, the work was greatly accelerated.

In less than ten o'clock, they picked more than a hundred peaches and more than three hundred kilograms of peaches.

Before the sun rose, Zhang Xu took the two of them home to pack the boxes.

This weather shuttles through the orchards. They were drenched in sweat. Zhang Xu's quick-drying clothes were wet and dry several times, and they were sticky.

"Do you want to change into a dry coat and pack it?"

Zhang Lan wants to complete this work as soon as possible. She waved her hand and said, "No need." ”

Zhang Li raised her hand and asked pitifully, "Can I take a bath?" ”

The corners of Zhang Xu's mouth twitched. This guy is really weird. He had to take a shower when he first came to the house.

However, he had no reason to refuse her, as he also wanted to take a bath.

"With a towel?"

Zhang Li nodded heavily.

"I even brought shampoo and shower gel."

Where did someone take this?

This must have been premeditated.

Zhang Xu was speechless, so he shouldn't ask about changing clothes, which made Zhang Li take advantage of the topic.

"Okay, I'll rush over right away. You can come in later. ”

He turned and walked in. He has been thinking about renovating the house for a while.

A further private bathroom must be installed.

When Zhang Li was waiting in the hall, she saw that Zhang Xu's room was filled with all kinds of tailoring tools, and her eyes lit up.

"Wow! There's a tailor here, like a small custom studio.

Zhang Xu, I really envy you. You can make any clothes you want at home.

This is my dream home. “

Zhang Xu felt a little headache, so he turned around and went to the toilet to take a bath.

They took a shower one by one without incident.

Don't forget, there is Zhang Lan outside the house. What can Zhang Li do?

After sending Zhang Lan and Zhang Li away, Zhang Xu handed over the fruit to the orchard and slept comfortably.

In the afternoon, he continued to go up the mountain to pick fruits. He plans to pick all the peaches these days and sell them so that he can get the money as soon as possible.

"After another five or six days of picking, the peaches are finished. Check out the poplar and papaya trees. ”

Zhang Xu picked more than 300 catties of peaches by himself and put them into his consciousness to keep them fresh.

"I forgot something. Take the scarecrow from the peach tree to the peach tree. ”

Zhang Xu walked back to the peach forest.

He made two scarecrows and took one of them.

As he was about to pull out the scarecrow, Zhang Xu noticed dried blood in the nearby grass.

He was immediately alert. When he looked closely, the grass was a mess, as if some animal had turned over.

At the place where the scarecrow stick was inserted, Zhang Xu found a nest filled with grass and soil.

After comparing the size of the nest, this animal is not small.

He crouched down and took a closer look. He found a tuft of pale yellow hair in the nest. When he saw this handful of hair, Zhang Xu showed a meaningful smile.

He quietly pulled the scarecrow apart, without destroying the nest, and walked towards the poplar tree.

Before dark, he went to see the lychee trees.

A total of four poplar trees are planted here, all of which are of local variety.

At this time, the poplars are still blooming, and only a few have produced small fruits.

Clusters of pink flowers are pleasing to the eye.

However, only Zhang Xu knew what the fruits of these four lychee trees were.

Most of the fruit trees planted by Grandpa were of local varieties.

Native varieties are easy to grow, so you don't need to spend as much time on them.

But the local variety means that if the taste doesn't improve, there's a good chance the fruit won't taste good.

It is especially severe for poplars and other fruit trees.

Out of the four lychee trees, three have very sour fruits. It's so sour that most people can't eat it.

The fruit of another lychee tree is milky white, sweet and free of residue, but the fruit is small and does not produce much, which is easily eaten by insects.

Grandpa didn't try to change the sour taste of the lychee tree.

There is a local saying that if a chicken is buried under a lychee tree, the fruit will turn sour.

Bury the dead cat under the lychee tree, and the fruit will be sweetened.

At that time, dead cats were most common in rural areas.

Unlike people nowadays, having a cat has become a cat slave.

In the former countryside, cats were kept to catch mice.

In addition to catching mice with cats, many people poisoned rats with poisonous grains in the countryside.

When cats eat poisonous mice, they are also poisoned.

Zhang Xu had already killed several of the family's cats, and their bodies were buried under lychee trees by him and his grandfather.

Zhang Xu and his grandfather will also solemnly observe a few minutes of silence for the cats to commemorate the fond memories they bring them, and then start looking forward to the sweetness of the lychee fruit.

But the miracle never happened.

The fruit of the three lychee trees has ripened and rotted on the tree over the past few years, and the fruit has fallen off on its own, crushing the slimy, rotten lychee pulp all over the ground.

In the season when the fruit is ripe, Zhang Xu is too lazy to come here. Sticky pulp and juice on the sole still need to be washed.

The milky white fruit of the lychee tree has few fruits and a short fruiting period.

However, when they matured, some of the little furry children in the village always took the lead, and Zhang Xu never ate a few.

Some people say that sour lychees should be delicious when pickled.

Grandpa hadn't tried it before. No matter how he pickled it, it always tasted wrong. The sourness does not dissipate and is difficult to eat.

In the end, Grandpa gave up with a sigh.

Because white sugar is expensive, it is best not to eat so much white sugar when pickling sour lychees.

Looking at the blooming lychee trees in front of him, Zhang Xu remembered a prestigious chat record.

A customer asked him if he could sell any other fruit besides peaches.

Although peaches are delicious, eating more dragon meat will make you tired.

Zhang Xu plans to add some lychees.

Lychee is a fruit endemic to the South. Southerners like to let it rot on the tree after tasting it.

People with kidney disease are not suitable to eat lychee.

Normal people usually don't eat too much lychee, which will affect gastrointestinal digestion and absorption.

Children should not eat too much lychee when they are growing up, as it is easy to cause stones.

Patients taking certain medications cannot take lychee, which enhances the efficacy.

When Zhang Xu was a child, his grandfather forbade him to eat too many lychees, saying that others were thin. If he eats this fruit again, his nutrition will be cut off.

Lychee and white radish are listed as foods that Zhang Xu needs to eat less.

But eating lychees is not without its benefits. It can relieve fatigue, clear the throat, dissolve phlegm and relieve cough, detoxify, appetize and stagnation, and beautify the skin. It is a fruit that many girls use for beauty and weight loss.

It is beneficial for ordinary people to eat lychee once in a while.

Zhang Xu plans to water the lychees with blood to see if they will be more delicious because of the blood.

He took out a bloody watering can and sprayed it on a bunch of low flowers on the lychee tree.

When blood is sprayed on the flowers, the flowers soon wither and produce green lychee fruits.

Then, the lychee fruit gradually becomes larger and the flesh becomes richer.

After the size of the lychee is fixed, the color of the flesh gradually changes from green to blue-yellow.

This is a sign of maturity. If you cook it again, it won't taste so good.

Zhang Xu stopped spurting blood.

He looked at about ten lychees hanging from the branches, each not small, about a pound.

These lychee fruits are crystal clear, with thin skin and thick flesh. They are perfect. When you smell them up close, they have a clear fragrance.

Zhang Xu picked one and bit off the edge of the rib with his teeth. He didn't wash it, he bit it off.

He frowned bravely, ready to die.

The sourness of the memory is too deep to be erased with blood.

However, when the meat enters his mouth, his expression is bright.

Sweetness fills the taste buds. The juice is sweet and sour. There are no residues at all, not even seeds. It's delicious.

Yes, a little sour, but that acid is mild.

For Zhang Xu, who is afraid of acid stars, this does not matter, but adds an interesting taste.

The lychee exudes a fragrance that makes the corners of Zhang Xu's mouth linger and have a long aftertaste.

"It's really delicious lychee.

Although the lychees sold in the market are beautiful and large, they always feel a little unauthentic.

Bloody lychee retains this rare taste. “

Zhang Xu took a few more bites, ate the whole lychee, and came to this conclusion.

There is no doubt that the taste of the spirit fruit is as good as ever. It makes unpalatable fruits taste like flies and look better.

After Zhang Xu ripened this bunch of lychees, his confidence increased greatly.

He went to a strange lychee tree and decided to upgrade it.

The fruit of this lychee tree is sweeter and milky white when ripe.

However, due to its fast ripening, small size and small yield, Zhang Xu has not eaten it several times.

The tree is also blooming. Zhang Xu poured blood on the lychee tree, and the flowers withered and bore a bunch of small fruits.

The fruit gradually changes from emerald green to milky white.

"This lychee is much larger than I've seen before, at least half a kilogram."

This lychee has a thinner edge. Zhang Xu didn't even remove the edges, but bit them down directly.

He couldn't help but nod his head and looked happy.

It tasted several times better than he remembered!

"The fruit of this tree is sweet. It has a different flavor compared to Three Trees. ”

Zhang Xu finished eating the lychee in his hand and was very happy.

"It's so delicious, I'm reluctant to sell it!"

Zhang Xu thought about it and decided to give these three lychee fruits to a friend.

He took out a knife and cut the lychee into the shape of a five-pointed star.

When he was younger, he liked to cut lychees like this. In the eyes of the children, they are very beautiful and interesting.

For this reason, lychee is also known as star fruit.

Zhang Xu took photos of lychee trees, flowers, and fruits, and added a few slices of star-shaped lychees cut into slices, uploading nine of them.

He added a few words.

"The lychees on the mountain are ripe one after another, and the fruits are yellow, and the flesh is full, and the flesh is like a gold ingot.

It tastes sweet and sour, no residue, no seeds, and more water to moisten the throat.

Responsibly, it's delicious!

I don't like to eat sour, but this lychee is not sour. I can eat one at a time!

Some friends say that peaches are tired of eating, so we might as well eat some lychees.

There are only three trees!

The price is 50 yuan a piece, and you can buy rotten fruits and bad fruits

His circle of friends can be seen by everyone, including regular customers who often buy his peaches.

The sky is a little dark now, and Zhang Xu's photos are not so clear, but even with such poor pixel images, the beautiful lychees are very outstanding, just like the visual sense of handicrafts.

As for those milky white lychees, Zhang Xu didn't put them on, he decided to eat them himself, or entertain friends.

He's less short of money now. He can keep it for himself.

After doing the lychee business, Zhang Xu went to see the dragon fruit tree.

Not far from the lychee tree, there are five tall dragon fruit trees, with bare stems, only the leaves and fruits at the top.

Five trees are hung with large and small fruits.

Zhang Xu picked a green and red dragon fruit with a bamboo pole.

"This one hasn't been cooked yet. It can be used to cook soups. ”

Then, looking at the tall dragon fruit tree, he was worried.

Because the picked fruit does not improve even if it is soaked in blood.

"It's a bit of a hassle to water the blood of dragon fruit.

The dragon fruit tree is too tall and the length of the spray rod is not enough. “

Dragon fruit is a fruit tree that can bear fruit at any time, and this is not urgent.

After Zhang Xu bought the drone, he decided to water the dragon fruit with blood.

After watching the dragon fruit tree, Zhang Xu was going home.

Zhang Xu turned on his phone and saw that the circle of friends had been turning, but the article he had just posted was not successful.

"The signal on the hill is too bad."

Zhang Xu walked down the mountain and found that the signal was coming, and there was a new message on his mobile phone.

He posted another Moments, and this time he succeeded.

Then he clicked and opened a message, which were a few paragraphs from Zhang Na.

"Zhang Xu, not at home? Do you pick fruit in the mountains? ”？

Let me tell you, there is a very good master fisherman. One of the winners of the Fishing King Cup is Xiao Huang. He came to the reservoir near Chuhua to fish.

Now my brother and I are fishing in the reservoir. A lot of people are busy. If you have time, come and play together. “

After receiving Zhang Na's invitation, Zhang Xu subconsciously wanted to refuse.

He did a lot of work today, so he didn't want to go out.

He wasn't interested in fishing and participating in entertainment, but he changed his mind when he thought of the nest under the scarecrow's shelf.

He typed a line with his finger at Zhang Na.

"I just came down the mountain. I'll be there in a moment. ”

As soon as his message was sent, Zhang Na immediately replied.

"Take your time. Now they have just arrived at the reservoir and are looking for fishing spots. They haven't officially fished yet.

You can see it when you arrive. “

Zhang Xu hurriedly went home to wash, changed a set of clothes, and took a taxi to the reservoir.

Before he went to the reservoir, he prepared some fishing tools.

He's not a guy who likes fishing, but this time he wants to go fishing. He couldn't go home empty-handed.

On the way, he opened the comments on the circle of friends and found that there were many people leaving messages, and there were still a few unread messages on his authority.

"Boss, I'm here! This lychee looks delicious. ”

"It's not easy to wait until the boss gives you new fruit and your hair turns gray."

"I love Lychee Beauty for weight loss!"

"Is it too much of a waste to marinate such beautiful lychees?"

"Zhang Xu, you still have lychees, please sell them to me."

"Brother, give me ten!"

Zhang Xu closed the comment and clicked on the unread message. He found out that all the information was about buying lychees.

There were several acquaintances in line.

Lao Zhang, Li Xu and Li Chao who want to purchase in bulk.
