Niu male

By the way, in the autumn of this year, in a certain village in the north, a family named Wang was worried about selling apples.

The sales of apples in the past two years have not been particularly good. Last year, a fruit farmer in their village said that he wanted to contract out the apple grove on his mountain, and the price he asked for was not high. , and finally took out his own coffin book and signed a contract with others.

During this year, Wang Laosan has been very careful in the fruit grove, but what kind of fruit is not something you can grow well if you want to grow it, you have to have experience, no, this year he planted these Apples are not so good. They are different in size, have worm eyes, and taste sour.

People in the village said that his work was wasted this year, and this kind of apples could not be sold at a good price. Everyone said that Wang Laosan did not know how to grow apples, so they should stop messing around and sell this fruit forest quickly. Contracting out is serious.Lao Wang also thought about changing hands, but the apples he planted this year are so bad, people wonder if the fruit trees are bad, and how can there be any good contract prices.

Anyway, the most worrying thing right now is the sales of these apples this year. A few days ago, a buyer from a beverage factory came over and asked for fifty cents a catty. Wang Laosan directly told him to leave.

At this moment, the fruit in the village is almost sold out, but his family has not moved at all. His son and daughter-in-law, who are working outside, call back to persuade him, saying that fifty cents should be fifty cents, which is better than not getting any money back. .

Wang Laosan was not reconciled, so he asked his nephew who was in middle school to help him open an online store. Aren't there many people on the Internet who pay attention to health care? His apples really don't use any fertilizers and pesticides.

Who would have thought that this online store would eventually be tossed by them, they really pay attention to health and wellness, yes, the fruit is a bit ugly, and there are one or two worm eyes, but why are you so sour? ?

Now that autumn is almost over and winter is coming, the apples in their house are still piled up in the cellar. The cellar is full of apples. The apples are thrown out, so she can prepare some new year's goods, or else when the Chinese New Year comes, the children will come back, and there will not be many good dishes at home.

Wang Laosan really has no choice at the moment. He called the buyer who asked for [-] cents, but he still refused to come, saying that their beverage factory has already received enough apples this year, and the warehouse is full, and there is no place. let go.

"If you don't want it, then don't, I don't want to sell it yet." Wang Laosan hung up the phone, feeling very depressed.

"You are a stubborn donkey. How many people persuaded you at the beginning and insisted not to sell it? Now what do you think? I didn't say that. Would you be willing to buy that pile of sour apples in our house instead? It would be nice to have someone…”

Her daughter-in-law is complaining again. She spent so much money to contract the fruit forest, and the apples were not planted well. In the end, she didn’t sell any of them. How could she feel comfortable in her heart? Just like pancakes, they are restless all night long.

"Okay, just say a few words." Wang Laosan was wronged, but he didn't like to hear the old woman talking to him all day long. If it was in the past, he could still go for a walk in the village and hide in other people's houses. This year is not going to happen, as long as you go out of this door, you will meet anyone, and they will ask him about the apple.

"Isn't it enough to just say a few words about you? When I was planting apples, Lao Li ran to our house several times, saying that you can't grow apples like this, and you have to use whatever fertilizer they use, or else you will come to our house." The apples grown at that time were either small in size or sour in taste, why didn’t you just listen to what you said? See what you can do!” The old woman was getting more and more angry when she thought about it.

"According to what they grow? Look at what they have grown in the past two years. Is that apple delicious? Do you like it?" Wang Laosan stiffened his neck and choked on her.

"Then what you grow is delicious? It doesn't matter whether it's delicious or not, at least the fruit grown by others can still be sold. Take a look at our cellar..." The old woman's voice was louder than his .

"Okay, I'm leaving, I won't tell you." Wang Laosan excused himself, and withdrew while talking, it seemed that he had to stay outside, the house was a dynamite bag.

"Wherever you like, go wherever you like, and I'll ask someone to throw that pile of broken apples to you later! Why keep them for the New Year..." The old woman followed him out of the yard with cursing.

After leaving his own yard, he didn't know where to go. Wang Laosan thought about it and walked to his elder brother's house.

His elder brother's youngest son just didn't have to go to class that day, and he was surfing the Internet at home. When he saw his third uncle coming, he dropped his mouse and keyboard and wanted to hide upstairs. He was really scared by his third uncle these days.

"Jun, hey, Wang Jun, why are you hiding? Come, come down and chat with third uncle." Wang Laosan had sharp eyes, and when he entered the room, he saw his nephew running upstairs like a monkey.

"Uncle...I really can't get any of your apples, what's the use of you looking for me again?" Being caught in the face, Wang Jun had no choice but to dawdle and come down from upstairs again.

"Hey, the third child is here." Mrs. Wang heard the movement in the back room, and hurried out.

This youngest Wang is almost bewildered by his apples recently. She chatted with her man a few times. Her man said that recently he told her to give way to the third child and not to be too serious with him in everything. , he is not sure how to turn the river upside down at this moment.

"Sister-in-law, what are you busy with? Where's our elder brother?" Wang Laosan was also a little embarrassed, for his little apples, he really ran to the old man's house a lot.

There is no way, there are three brothers in their family, and the second family went to live in the city early, and there are only two of them left here. The only one of them who is still at home can be regarded as a cultural person , that is his nephew Wang Jun, and Wang Laosan has been coming to see him all the time recently.

"Your eldest brother hasn't come back from the field right now." Mrs. Wang wiped her hands on her apron, and brought Wang Laosan a plate of boiled peanuts.

"How about harvesting lettuce these two days?" Wang Laosan picked up a peanut and peeled it.

"No, the new branch secretary in our village this year is really good at finding a good market for these lettuces in our village. The price is [-] cents more than those who came to collect them in the past. Forget it, brother Let’s see, our family alone will earn an extra five or six thousand this year just from the lettuce.” When it came to the lettuce, Mrs. Wang was also beaming.

"My eldest brother seems to have planted the right lettuce this year." Wang Laosan sighed in his heart.The new branch secretary does have two brushes, but unfortunately there is nothing he can do about the problems with the apples in his family.

"Hey, third son, don't worry, Jun, sit here and chat with your third uncle first, your father should be back soon, I still have work to do later." Mrs. Wang persuaded the third uncle In a word, let the son chat with his third uncle again, and he has to go to the back room to work.

"Okay, go ahead, I'll leave after a while." Wang Laosan said hastily.

"..." Wang Jun just sat there peeling peanuts without saying a word.

"Tell me about that Niuwang Village again." After Mrs. Wang left, Third Wang asked his nephew.

"I've already said everything that can be said." His nephew said weakly.

"How can you say that the business of their online store is so good." Wang Laosan said.

"It's something good from others." His nephew replied.

"Hey, didn't you say that old Zhou is a very kind person? Can he solve my Apple problem?" Wang Laosan said again.

"It's not relative, why should I help you solve it?" If he is really a living Bodhisattva, how can he still get the nickname Lao Zhou?

"No, I still have to try it, Jun, that minivan of yours has been idle recently, right?" Boss Wang spent money to buy a minivan two years ago. When it was not good, he would take the things to the city to sell by himself, but this year, the new branch secretary found a good market for the few things his family planted, so this truck probably won't be needed.

"You have to ask my dad about this." Wang Jun can't decide on the matter of borrowing a car.

After a while, Mr. Wang came back, and Mr. Wang told him about borrowing a car. Mr. Wang was very straightforward and agreed immediately.

Although the relationship between the two brothers is relatively good, the eldest brother Wang is not so easy to talk every time. In fact, the third brother Wang is similar. After all, the two brothers are 50 years younger. home days.

This time, the reason why Boss Wang is so forthright is because the vegetables grown by his family have sold at a good price this year, but none of the apples from Wang Laosan’s side have been sold. Getting angry, it's just a car anyway, so he can borrow it if he can, regardless of whether these apples can be sold in the end, after all the troubles, he can feel more at ease.

In this way, Wang Laosan drove his eldest brother's small truck, pulled his own carload of apples, and took the dry food prepared by his wife, and went to Niuwangzhuang after a long journey.

After the car drove to Buffalo Town, Wang Laosan was timid again. Just like what his nephew said, Lao Zhou was not related to him, so why should he help him?

Besides, his own apples, Wang Laosan felt that even a capable person like Lao Zhou would probably be powerless. How sour is his apples? Squeezed into juice and added a spoonful of sugar, everyone can drink it straight. It's sour.

Wang Laosan drove around Buffalo Town in his car, and then someone from the town asked him: "My fellow, how do you sell your apples?"

"Ten yuan and four catties." Including the transportation costs along the way, his apples would have to be sold at this price. It was not a complete waste of work for him this year, and he earned back a little bit of hard work.

"It's so cheap, let's cut one and try it." On their side, an apple worth ten yuan and three catties is considered very cheap, since it is not a production area after all.

"Okay." Wang Laosan knew in his heart that everything about his apple would have to run away.

"Hey, my fellow, how can your apple be so sour?"

"Can't eat can't eat."

"Such apples are too sour when you buy them and squeeze them for juice."

"Is this your own apple? How did you grow it?"

"I use farmyard manure for everything. The apples are all natural, even though they are sour."

"No matter how natural you are, what's the use if you can't eat it."

"I don't think you know how to grow apples, do you?"

"Hi, I just took over a fruit forest from someone else."

"It's probably because the people in front used chemical fertilizers indiscriminately and ruined the soil."

"It's the same with us here. The fields that were heavily used in the past have become disfigured later. It takes a few years to grow them back."

"Hey, there are so many apples, what should I do?"

"There is more than half of the cellar installed in the house, and this place is still small."

"Oh, so many?"

"Ugh……"

"You said, I wonder if it will be okay to buy some cider after buying these apples?"

"Buy some buy some."

"This should be fine."

"The red bayberries I bought from someone last year were so sour, the wine I brewed still doesn't taste sour."

"Those of you who like to drink fruit wine, buy some. Ten yuan and four catties are cheap."

"Speaking of which, the apple flavor of his apple is quite strong."

"It's good. It's more flavorful than the ones sold in the market. There is no leavening agent, and the meat is dense."

"My fellow, let me tell you, just stick to this way of planting and put more farmyard manure on those apple trees. In two or three years, your apples will taste better."

"What do you know? Have you ever grown apples before?"

"Aren't all fruit trees like that? Didn't you see how well that orange tree in my yard grows?"

"It's the tree you planted from the seed that you got from Lao Zhou so shamelessly?"

"I said that your tree has been planted for almost three years, right? Why hasn't it produced any fruit yet?"

"Peach, three plums, and four oranges for eight years, I haven't heard of it. You are uneducated."

"Look at the embarrassment of you, don't plant it as a male tree."

"Bah, crow's mouth."

Every year, Niuwangzhuang brews various fruit wines. Over time, people in Buffalo Town also follow suit. They make some fruit wines at home, and drink some out during festivals or when guests come to the house. .There are also those who love to drink, and they have to take a sip every day after eating.

While these people were gossiping, each of them picked a few catties of apples from Wang Laosan, which made Wang Laosan feel quite embarrassed.

At the end, everyone gave directions to Wang Laosan: "Go along this road, and there is He Ji's pastry shop on the left. Go there and have a look, maybe she can order your apple there."

He Ji West Point House Wang Laosan knew that he had walked around Buffalo Town a few times just now, and saw it a few times back and forth. The shop seemed to be in good business.

Saying goodbye to these enthusiastic people from Buffalo Town, Wang Laosan drove to Heji. At this time, the school time was up, and the students who had just wandered around in the store had all left. The store seemed a little deserted, and there were two salesmen The little girl was arranging the shelves, and He Jinying was teaching two apprentices how to whip cream at the operating table separated by a glass window.

"Well, is your boss there?" Wang Laosan entered the store with his hands tied, holding a few apples from their family in his hands.

"..." A young woman behind the glass window turned her head to look at him, and saw that woman frowned slightly with an indifferent expression. Seeing her expression, Wang Laosan felt even more disturbed...

a week later.

"Hurry up!" Houwazi led Huahua and Sanmao to run ahead, turning around to urge his father from time to time.

"Don't be so anxious, it won't be too late." Lao Zhou was wearing a sweater and slacks, and he followed behind. His son ran too fast, and this girl couldn't keep up.

"Hurry up! It will be too late if you don't go!"

Houwazi was so anxious that he was about to jump. Seeing how he stood by the side of the road with his fists clenched, he looked neither like Lao Zhou nor Xiao Shulin, but rather like Boss Xiao. No wonder the old man looked at him more and more recently. The grandson is more pleasing to the eye.

It was not so bright yet, and the father and son arrived at He Ji West Point Restaurant one after the other. There, there was already a long queue at the moment, and those people in the queue had lunch boxes and dishes. , Lao Zhou and Houwazi went to the back of the line to line up, and then took out two aluminum lunch boxes from Houwazi's schoolbag.

"Yo, you guys are pretty early too, Lao Zhou." Everyone greeted Lao Zhou when they saw him.

"It can't be too early." Old Zhou yawned, that bastard, Sanmao, went to their house at five o'clock in the morning to call someone, and ran to the downstairs of their house to bark, howling until he couldn't sleep. Can't sleep.

Everyone was queuing up outside, and the people inside the West Point room were obviously busy at the moment, and a strong fragrance wafted from inside from time to time.

He Ji Pastry House just launched a super luxurious assorted pizza a few days ago. This pizza not only inherits the fine tradition of quality and deliciousness of this pastry shop, but what is even more fascinating is that it is almost completely out of control this time. I don’t care about it, I don’t care about the collocation, I don’t care about the shape, I don’t care about the calories, I don’t care about anything, I just try my best to put all the delicious things on top of this pizza, all kinds of vegetables, fruits, meat, cheese, and the taste is very strong. What's more, the apple diced on top of this pizza is so sour that it has a strong taste, and the sourness dissolves all the greasy taste, and the rest is delicious, delicious...

This ultra-high-calorie pizza has been unanimously sought after by everyone in Buffalo Town in the early winter. After all, this season is supposed to be the season to grow fat. Otherwise, how can we survive the long winter without a little fat? ?

Especially for those adolescents who are growing their bodies, in this season full of hunger, He Ji's pizza is tailor-made, and it couldn't be more suitable to have a piece in the morning!

After finally waiting until 06:30, He Ji West Point House finally opened. Lao Zhou and his son were slowly moving forward with the team. It took about ten minutes before it was their turn.

Boss He’s way of baking pizza is relatively simple and rude. She doesn’t make small round pizzas, but makes huge pizzas, and spreads them directly on the rectangular ovens of her own, and then spreads them on top of each other. After the baked pizza is cut up with a knife, it is sold piece by piece like tofu.

Such a small block of tofu costs 15 yuan. If you don’t want to pack it, she can give you a dollar cheaper, 14 yuan. So basically everyone who came to line up to buy pizza these days Bring your own container. In Buffalo Town, it is too common to bring your own container.

"Four servings." When it was Lao Zhou's turn, he opened both lunch boxes, and spread the lids of the boxes on the counter.

"Limit one purchase per person." He Jinying is selling pizza in person at this moment. Every morning at this time is the busiest time in their store. The salesperson is responsible for collecting money. As for the other salesperson, she is helping to chop vegetables inside. The salesperson here often has guest apprentices.

"Sanmao and Huahua are waiting outside." Houwazi clasped his hands on the edge of the counter, showing half of his face in front of the counter with some embarrassment.

"..." He Jinying looked up at the tall German shepherd outside the glass door, and another strong lynx. Without saying anything, he shoveled four times into their lunch boxes and lids. Pieces of pizza.

After paying the money, Lao Zhou and his son took the four pieces of pizza and left the cake shop. They didn't go far, and started eating while standing on the side of the road outside, waiting for Xiao Shulin while eating.

Xiao Shulin also likes to eat this pizza, he can eat two or three yuan in one sitting, he is a bit late today, Lao Zhou thought, if Xiao Shulin doesn’t come again, he will have the cheek to queue up again, but today they sell pizza It's He Jinying, that guy is not good at talking, or else he should go to the medical hall to bring two apprentices over?Hey, in that case, old man Bai probably won't give him a good look.

Just when Lao Zhou was wondering whether it depends on Boss He's face or Old Man Bai's face, Xiao Shulin led a large group of Lianjiazi to come here aggressively.

"Father, hurry up." Houwazi held his piece of pizza, alternately doing high leg lifts on the spot with his two short legs, wishing to help Xiao Shulin run his part of the road, and hurry him up No pizza today.

"Good son." Xiao Shulin walked over a few steps, and rubbed his son's forehead until the monkey screamed.

"Take a bite first." Lao Zhou handed him his piece of pizza.

"Well." Xiao Shulin took a bite of Lao Zhou's right hand, then took the share of Lao Zhou's left hand, and took a big bite of the unbitten end.

"Aww!!!" Huahua howled terribly, as if Xiao Shulin's bite was the flesh of its body.

"You are a carnivore, eating so much flour is not good." Xiao Shulin said that he did it for its own good.

"..." On the other side, after Sanmao saw Huahua's miserable situation, he took Houwazi's hand and ate up his piece of pizza in two mouthfuls, and licked his mouth when he was done.

When it was finally Xiao Shulin's turn, he put the lunch box that Lao Zhou and the others used just now on the counter: "Three servings."

"..." Boss He looked at him seriously.Each person is limited to one copy, this is a set rule, don't think that people from the old Zhou family can do something special.

"Yaya Dabao is here too, and we're all waiting outside." Xiao Shulin stretched out his hand and pointed outside. There were more people in the West Point room at this moment, and they couldn't see what was going on outside at all from their position.

"..." Boss He's brows twitched, and she felt that her bipolar disorder was about to attack again.

"If you don't believe me, I'll call them." Xiao Shulin said, and then shouted outside: "Dabao!"

Outside the West Point house, Lao Zhou stretched out his hand and pushed Sanmao. Sanmao was so happy that he opened his mouth and shouted: "Wow!"

"Yaya!" Xiao Shulin shouted again.

Lao Zhou looked at Huahua, and he couldn't count on this guy, so he opened his mouth and yelled: "Ahhhhhh..."
