Start being a Shennong today

"Uncle Sheng Wen is here!"

"It's watermelons. Grandpa Sheng Wen brought a lot of big watermelons here."

"Does Yueyue want to eat watermelon?"

"Yes! I want to eat watermelons grown by Uncle Tao Ran. The watermelons sold outside are not tasty."

"Then don't forget to cheer on mom and dad, dad and mom will take care of winning a big watermelon for you."

"Come on, Dad! Dad is the best!"

Tao Shengwen and Tian Yuxia drove their own tricycles down the mountain. The canopy behind the car was removed, and everyone could see the watermelon in the car, a big round and green watermelon.How many people who had no concentration cheered, and felt that their whole body was full of energy.

The mulberry trees by the lake are full of fruits, and the mulberries have basically turned purple and are fully mature.There was a crowd of people below, and everyone moved the stools before they came, and they all found a place to sit.

The birds in the nearby woods eager to try the mulberries are also afraid of so many people and dare not approach them.

"Come on, everyone, sit down and start right away." The village head stood up as the host, "Everyone who is going to participate in the competition today, come to me to register. There are at most two people from each family in our village." , There are no restrictions on tourists."

"Also pay attention to your age. If you are 15 to 45 years old, don't come if you don't meet the requirements. Cheating is not allowed in today's game. If you are found out, you will not have a part in the dinner tonight." Tao Liu also Maintain order with the village chief, and explain the rules of this competition again and again.

"Sister Tao Liu, are you participating in today's competition?" Lin Nian asked with a smile, she and Yan Dan were both ready to participate.They also had a lot of contact with Tao Liu in Taoyuan Village these days, and found that Tao Liu was serious at work, and they were quite chatty with them in daily life.

"Of course I want to participate. Uncle Sheng Wen asked us for our opinions when preparing the prizes. I'm also very greedy." Tao Liu replied, carrying a stool to Yan Dan and the others.

Yan Dan hurriedly gave up an empty seat, only to notice that Tao Liu was wearing a long-sleeved top and long jeans this time. The clothes were pulled out from nowhere, and they looked a bit shabby.

Sensing Yan Dan's curious eyes, Tao Liu raised his hands to show her the clothes, and explained: "Isn't this for climbing a tree later? I also found out old clothes, so I don't feel bad if they get worn out."

"Sister Tao Liu, do you know how to climb trees?" Lin Nian asked, carefully observing her expression, one could tell that she was just purely surprised and admiring.Then Lin Nian sighed, "Those boys are going to climb the tree to pick it today, but Dandan and I can't do it. Fortunately, we can still get to the shorter branches, otherwise we won't be able to participate in the competition this time." "

"There are very few people in our village who can't climb trees. When I was a child, there were a few mulberry trees in the village. We climbed up the trees to pick mulberries after lunch. That's when I learned how to climb trees." Tao Liu said while gesticulating Get up, "I was not sensible at the time, every time I finished picking mulberries, my clothes would turn purple, and my parents would scold me when I got home."

While everyone was talking lively about the game for a while, many people were busy.Someone helped Tao Shengwen and Tian Yuxia prepare the prizes for this competition. When they saw the things Tao Shengwen pulled over with the car, their eyes were straightened. If they were not a little old, they would definitely sign up for the competition.

When Tao Shengwen took people to sort out the prizes, everyone saw it.

First of all, I put out all kinds of bamboo baskets from Nantian Village, only one large one, even if an adult holds it with both hands, it can cover the upper half of the body.There are five medium-sized ones, and more small ones, a total of ten.

Tao Shengwen and Tian Yuxia took out the gifts prepared in the car. The most conspicuous ones were the watermelons. The size of these watermelons just matched the size of the bamboo basket, but there were only six of them. Everyone knew in a blink of an eye that only Only the top six can get the watermelon.

"Aunt Yuxia, can't you add more watermelons? I went to see it two days ago, and your watermelon field has produced a lot of melons."

"Then when you went to see it a few days ago, did you count how many melons were ripe?" Tian Yuxia kept her hands and put the biggest watermelon into the bamboo basket. Not only has she been in good health recently , his strength has also increased, and now Tao Shengwen doesn't ask Tian Yuxia to beat his back.

Seeing the strength in Tian Yuxia's hand, the villager who asked the question touched his nose and said sheepishly, "I didn't pass by, and I didn't dare to go in and take a closer look."

It was Tao Shengwen who came out to smooth things over and explained to the villagers: "The melons are not very ripe, so I picked out these six relatively large watermelons as prizes, and there are a few smaller ones, so I didn't take them out for our dinner at night." It’s time for everyone to eat together.”

Yo, so there is also watermelon.

This means that there are still some watermelons that will be shared collectively at night.

The minds of the people present became active. People who had no confidence in winning the award were quite satisfied with this plan, and they could have a taste at night.

But people who are careful and slow about their own abilities are unwilling, and someone shouted on the spot: "Uncle, you are not fair, why are there watermelons in the top six? Thanks."

Everyone took a closer look and found that the person shouting was indeed a child in the village who had just graduated from the third year of junior high school and had just finished the senior high school entrance examination.Looking at the child, not only is he not tall, but he also has thin arms and legs, everyone laughed.

"What's so funny? You don't believe that I can win the prize?" The boy was reluctant, raised his arm to show it, and shouted: "Look at my muscles, you adults can't compare with us young people."

"I didn't laugh at you, but I encouraged you." Tian Yuxia said with a smile, "The watermelons are not ripe enough, and the few left are less than ten. Work harder, and if you win the top six, you will have watermelons to eat." .”

"Then if I don't get the top six, can you sell me two first when the watermelons are ripe again?" the boy asked pitifully.

"Okay!" Before Tao Shengwen could speak, Tian Yuxia directly agreed.

"Yeah!" The boy jumped up and made a scissors hand, and said happily: "Two, everyone heard it, and you will snatch it from me when the time comes."

Now everyone understands the boy's carefulness, and the grown-ups just watched the excitement, thinking that this little cleverness is not annoying.Even his little friends all accused him one after another, and it didn't stop until the boy promised to share with everyone after buying it.

"Don't worry everyone, besides watermelon, we have prepared other things for everyone to keep." Tao Shengwen took out a 16 yuan cardboard and showed it to everyone, only to see a few lines of big characters written on it.

The No. 1 big cardboard was written on a Tian family's little fragrant pig, and the field became lively in an instant.Next are five medium-sized cardboards, which are twenty catties of Tianjia pork, and finally ten small cardboards, all of which are ten catties of Tianjia pork.

"This is a waste of money." Everyone exclaimed.

"I have already called Tian Xu in advance to prepare this pork, but there are good and bad meat, whoever ranks first will pick first."

Seeing that the expected start time of the competition was approaching, Tao Shengwen also began to speed up, not giving them a chance to ask questions, and showed the prepared prizes one by one.

The pickle jars were put out next, and the jars with different labels contained different vegetables. The winners could choose by themselves, and now everyone is drooling when they see it.

Tao Shengwen and Tian Yuxia began to pickle a large number of pickles since the beginning of spring when they were free.In the past, the house was not demolished, so the sauerkraut altar was placed there.

The vegetables grown in Taoran's family are different from those in Taoyuan Village. The seeds are exchanged by Taoran from the system and watered by Shennong Spring, so the taste is really different.

Everyone in Taoyuan Village knew it and attributed the credit to Tao Ran's family, who used to be the head of the Shennong Temple, and they all seemed to be familiar with it.When foreign tourists saw the villagers like this, they found a reason for themselves. Tao Shengwen's family took good care of them. I heard that his son is a biology student, so he must have the role of science and technology.

When they are free, Tao Shengwen and Tian Yuxia will also sell small dishes, which are very popular.Not to mention the pickled vegetables. During the pickling process, chef Li Tingzhou was there to guide them. The already superb ingredients and special pickling recipe made people want to eat it even after eating it.

That is, every time the villagers of Taoyuan Village encountered Tao Shengwen and Tian Yuxia selling things, whether it was fresh vegetables or pickled side dishes, they would quickly grab them all.

When the foreign tourists first arrived in Taoyuan Village and didn't know the situation, they were confused by the villagers who ran to Tao Shengwen to grab the vegetables.After they figured it out, they also joined the vegetable grabbing team.

Tao Shengwen and Tian Yuxia can earn a lot of income by selling vegetables from time to time, and when the mulberry matures, the income will be even more substantial.Now that watermelons and peaches can be sold, the income will increase a lot.

Similarly, Tao Ran's peach blossom sauce and rapeseed nectar were brought out next, both of which were of the same high quality.The rapeseed nectar is still from Tao Ran’s beekeeping in the village, and the nectar is grown in various flower fields in the village. Because the rapeseed nectar from Tao Ran’s family is of good quality, the bees always fly to Tao Ran’s field, and do not fly to other places until they are exhausted. field.

After the honey was brewed, Tao Jianian gave half of the honey to Tao Ran's family. Everyone in the village wanted to buy a jar to try it, but they couldn't.Now that this honey has appeared in the prizes, my enthusiasm has improved again, and I don’t forget to educate the tourists.

In the end, Tao Shengwen also came up with a big move, offering the mulberry that hadn't been brewed as a prize.Regardless of whether it is a villager or a tourist who wins the game, after the wine is brewed, it will be kept and sent over.

So in the end, the biggest basket was watermelon, little fragrant pig, peach blossom sauce, rapeseed nectar, five big jars of pickles and a bottle of mulberry wine that hadn’t been seen yet.

Compared with the No. 1 winners, the five winners from [-] to [-] replaced the little fragrant pig with pork, the pickles were reduced to three cans, and there was only one small bottle of rapeseed nectar.

The ten winners from the seventh to No.17 are even worse. They don’t have watermelon, rape nectar is gone, and pickles have turned into a big jar.

Looking at the big basket of No.1 and the fewer and fewer prizes below, everyone raised their fighting spirit, and if they want to win the prize, they must be the first.

While Tao Shengwen and Tian Yuxia were sorting out the prizes, the venue was also prepared.Because he was worried that there would be accidents when everyone climbed the tree to pick mulberries, the village head asked someone to lay a thick stack of straw under the mulberry tree. There was not enough stuff in Taoyuan Village, so he brought some from Nantian Village overnight yesterday.

Seeing that the time was coming, the village head asked all the contestants to get ready, and asked dozens of people who participated in the first round of the competition to stand in line under the mulberry tree, and the old and young who did not participate in the competition sat and watched not far away. When you become a judge, the most important thing is to see if anyone is cheating.

The village head announced: "The first mulberry picking competition in Taoyuan Village has officially started!"
