After crossing over, it's hard

After picking three watermelons, Li Ran opened one, and it was ripe, with blood-red flesh, very sweet and juicy to the bite. Jinan and Xiaoyuan had never eaten it before, but they both liked it very much, especially It was Xiaoyuan, who even brought it for the dog leftovers.Li Ran kept the remaining two watermelons and did not give them away, because the two watermelons were less to be given away, so Li Ran simply waited until he had picked all the watermelons back before giving them to his good friend. People, give a few to the family.

Now he still has to be busy with the work in the field. Ji Nan took the ox to plow the field, without Li Ran following him. Li Ran was drying the rice at home, and the rice was dried on a big bamboo mat.Li Ran thought that some wild fruits on the mountain would be ripe at this time, spread the rice and dried it, carried the basket at home, and thought about going to the small mountain by himself.The small mountain bag is not far behind the house, and there are no large beasts on the mountain, so I am not afraid to go up the mountain alone.

In a few minutes, I entered the small mountain bag, and my eyes were full of fruits.A small piece of apricot grove is already beginning to mature, lacking in warm orange-yellow color. When the late-season rice is planted, you can start picking apricots. Of course, the premise is to buy the small mountain bag in advance.Li Ran picked up a ripe apricot that fell on the ground under the apricot grove, rubbed it on his body and ate it. It was very sweet, with a hint of sour in the sweetness, sweet and sour, very delicious.Throwing down the apricot core, Li Ran was thinking about what to do with the apricots.

Next to the apricot grove are sparse wild jujube trees and wild pear trees, which cannot be picked yet, and the best time to eat wild jujube and wild pears is at the end of July and early August.The small piece of tea oil tree is also full of fruit, the round tea fruit is green with a hint of red, it is very beautiful to hang on those short tea oil trees.These tea fruits are picked after frost, and the oil yield of the tea fruits picked at that time is the highest.In Jijia Village, the first frost may have to wait until early to mid-October, so there is no rush.

Li Ran went over there again to look at the shady hillside. The mountain grapes on the hillside had already grown fruit, and there were a lot of fruits, one after the other, but they were very small. They were typical mountain grapes. Li Ran picked a bunch of grapes. Try a mountain grape, it is very sour, the sour Li Ran bites the skin of the mountain grape, and vomits straight '呵呀'.These mountain grapes are probably not edible, but they should be fine for making wine.Li Ran had brewed wine in his previous life and knew how to make it, but he had never made it with mountain grapes, so he didn't know if it could be made or whether the wine was good.But Li Ran thinks it should be about the same, plus he has the blessing of the water in the pond, it shouldn't be too bad.Besides, even if it really doesn't work, it doesn't matter, anyway, these mountain grapes don't cost money, at most it's a waste of manpower.

Except for the bayberry tree, I have seen almost all the wild fruit trees on the hill.There are only six bayberry trees, and the trees are not tall, less than two meters, standing quietly on the hill.At this time, the bayberry has begun to mature, and the fruit of the bayberry tree is not as fruitful as other trees, but it is estimated that a tree should be able to pick [-] catties of bayberry. Li Ran has never seen a bayberry tree in his previous life. Know if that counts as a lot or a little.

The bayberry is very big. Li Ran picked a red and purple one and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and sour, juicy, and very good. It was much tastier than the super-grade bayberry that he had eaten in his previous life.After eating a dozen or so in a row, Li Ran began to pick bayberries, picking up the ripe, red and purple bayberries, and picked most of the baskets in a row before Li Ran stopped.Under the apricot grove, after picking up a dozen or so apricots, Li Ran went home with a basket on his back.

Time passed quickly, and I felt that I hadn't been on the hill for a long time. I didn't expect to see the smoke of someone cooking when I came out of the mountain.Li Ran walked home quickly, not to mention that most of the red bayberries in the basket were really heavy.When he was far away from home, Li Ran saw a carriage parked outside his door. The carriage looked better and bigger than the one that Uncle Ji Xi came to his house last time.Li Ran was a little puzzled, who came to his house.

Sitting in the carriage with the boss Zhao Youting, Ji Xi was very anxious. For some reason, the boss wanted to bring him to Jijia Village to find Li Ran, and his expression seemed very high.But when they came to Li Ran's house, there was no one in their house. Now is the busy farming season, everyone went to work in the field, and there was no one to ask.Ji Xi originally wanted to ask the boss to go back first, and wait here by himself, and he can do something on his behalf, but Zhao Youting disagreed, and he had to wait here by himself, and he didn't want to go to Ji Xi's house.This June day, the weather is very hot, and the ice in the carriage has long since melted into water.

Ji Xi kept looking out to see if Li Ran and the others had returned.In this way, seeing Li Ran's figure for the last time, Ji Xi looked excited, and said to Zhao Youting: "I'm back, I'm back, I'm finally back." After saying that, he got out of the carriage and faced Li Ran who was not far away. Shout: "Xiaoran, you are finally back."

Hearing the voice, Li Ran knew it was Uncle Ji Xi, and quickly responded, "Uncle Ji Xi, why are you here?" He quickened his pace and came to the gate of the courtyard. Li Ran thought that Ji Xi was the only one. Unexpectedly, another person got off the carriage.Li Ran looked at the person, there was no brother mark on his forehead, he was a man, 24 or [-] years old, he looked very gentle and handsome, and his clothes were also very gorgeous and exquisite, the fabric Li Ran didn't know, but it looked expensive Kind of scary.From this look, he is a pampered noble son.Li Ran murmured in his heart, who is this person? It seems that his family does not have such rich relatives.

Putting down the muttering in his heart, Li Ran opened the door of the courtyard and invited Ji Xi and Zhao Youting into the house.After asking them to sit down, Li Ran didn't go to pour tea for them. There was no good tea at home, and this nobleman probably couldn't get used to it. I took out one of the remaining watermelons and cut it up to serve them.

When Li Ran went to wash the bayberry, Zhao Youting was secretly looking at the house. The house was very simple, but it was very tidy and clean, not at all like the sloppiness of ordinary country people.Zhao Youting nodded secretly in his heart, and his first impression of Li Ran was also very good.

Zhao Youting and Ji Xi were shocked when they saw the bayberry and watermelon that Li Ran brought. This,,,, is watermelon, and there is watermelon in Jijia Village, and it is still so early.Watermelon is a rare commodity, but with Zhao Youting's identity, he can eat it every year. Ji Xi also takes Zhao Youting's light, so he only tastes it once or twice.Watermelon is a product of the Western Regions. Every year, merchants ship it to Daqing for sale, but the time will not arrive until early July at the earliest.But it's still the end of June, how can there be watermelons?The only possibility is that this watermelon grows in Jijia Village, but isn't it impossible to grow watermelons in Daqing?This has been tried by many people.

Li Ran put the cut watermelon in front of the two of them and said: "There is nothing good at home. You can eat some watermelon to quench your thirst. They are all grown in your own home. It is hot enough in this hot day." Ji Xi felt depressed after hearing this. He vomits blood, isn't this watermelon a good thing?Ji Xi seemed to focus on the wrong focus, shouldn't it be strange how Li Ran could grow watermelons?

Ji Xi didn't notice, but Zhao Youting heard it, looked at Li Ran calmly and asked, "Did you grow this watermelon?"

Li Ran nodded, sat down on the other side, looked at Zhao Youting calmly, and said, "I planted it at home. I just picked it yesterday and tried it. See if it's familiar." Those who are so big and lala cut up the watermelon to treat guests, and they have a heart.The young man who came this time seemed to be a high-ranking person, and Uncle Ji Xi knew him and respected him very much. Li Ran boldly guessed that this might be Uncle Ji Xi's boss, although he was puzzled that he came to him what to do.But Li Ran's watermelon is ripe and needs to find a buyer. Although watermelon is a rare item and can be sold easily, Li Ran and Ji Nan are ordinary people with no power and no power, so they just hold it like this If you sell watermelons, if you meet someone with a dirty mind, you may not be able to make money, and you will lose all your money.But this boss is different. Uncle Ji Xi knows him, and he doesn't look like a dirty mind. Wouldn't it be better if we could do this watermelon business with him.
