Start being a Shennong today

This morning, all the tourists in the village came to the foot of the mountain ahead of time, planning to go up the mountain with the villagers who were picking peaches.

Tao Ran and Li Tingzhou were worried and came here early.Taking a closer look at this group of people, they are basically ready. They all wear ordinary clothes, wrap their arms and legs tightly, and carry big bamboo baskets behind them.

The tourists are basically six people gathered together, it seems to be a small group, and the leader loudly ordered some precautions.

Nian Kai noticed that Li Tingzhou and Tao Ran were coming, so he stepped forward and said with a smile, "How about it, can you rest assured?"

"We plant all kinds of fruit trees on this mountain. As long as you can't even see a pheasant or hare in the fruit forest, there is nothing to worry about." Tao Ran said so, worried in his heart when he saw these tourists like After a decent preparation, I let it go a little bit.

Seeing Tao Ran chatting with Nian Kai, Li Tingzhou moved to find one of the people from Nantian Village who came to pick peaches. This person has become the leader of these tasks these days.Li Tingzhou came to him and asked him to take care of these tourists if there was nothing to do, and inform them in time if something happened.

"Okay, this is all on my shoulders, but you don't have to worry too much, there is no danger in the first place, and it seems that they are not here to play, so there will be no major incidents."

"Then please, don't forget to take two watermelons back after today's work."

"That's a good relationship. Your watermelon is getting harder and harder to buy."

When everyone is assembled, everyone goes up the mountain together, divides the area, and starts picking peaches.The locals know how to take care of these tourists, they are in charge of the outer area today and let the tourists stay in the inner area.

After wandering around the peach forest for several times, these tourists picked peaches very vigorously one by one, it seemed that they were really competing.

Finally reassured, Tao Ran took Li Tingzhou to the hillside behind.

There are still a lot of mountains in the Taolin, but the soil there was not very good in the past, and the Tao family didn't need much land at that time, and there was no contract for the large mountains behind.

But it will be different after having Shennong Spring. Knowing that the value of these lands will increase in the future, Tao Ran and Li Tingzhou will certainly not be unprepared.

It's just that it's not yet the time to transplant saplings, so the back hillside has not been sorted out.

Tao Ran led Li Tingzhou to find a small path, and kept explaining.

"When I was young, my dad often took me to run here. There are few people here, and you can meet pheasants, rabbits, and hedgehogs. At that time, there was a big dog at home, and it was very good at catching hedgehogs." Originally, he was very happy. Tao Ran's voice dropped when he mentioned the dog.

"What's wrong?" Li Tingzhou asked, holding Tao Ran's hand.

Tao Ran came back to his senses: "It's nothing. I just thought of Lei Lei, the dog my family used to raise. He has been with me for many years. At that time, he was fed chocolate by the ignorant children in the village. By the time we found out, it was too late."

Li Tingzhou was silent, and found that he had chosen the wrong topic, so he could only pat Tao Ran's head to comfort him.

"It's been many years, and I don't feel bad anymore." Tao Ran shook off his depression and pulled himself together, "Let's keep going, we have to go home to help later."

"Where is this going to take me, and I won't reveal it in advance."

"You'll know in a while."

Tao Ran led Li Tingzhou around several turns.The already narrow path became even narrower. Not only was it overgrown with weeds, but also small branches blocked the road. Looking ahead, I couldn't even find the road.

"I haven't been here for a long time, and I forgot to come here to explore the road ahead of time." Tao Ran said awkwardly. After entering high school, people in the village basically stopped running here.

Li Tingzhou looked around, picked up a branch that was strong enough and long enough, and pulled Tao Ran behind him.

"What are you doing?"

"What else can you do? Show the way, and I'll clear the way for you." Li Tingzhou said solemnly, "But the distance shouldn't be too far. I have to go back to help. If it's too far, we can come back in the afternoon."

Hearing what Li Tingzhou said, Tao Ran turned his head to observe the surrounding scene. Although he hadn't been here for a long time, he still had an impression of the road.

"The nearest target should not be far away. Just go straight in the current direction. There are still about 200 meters left."

"Okay, then let's go! You have to follow me closely, don't lose it."

Tao Ran's memory was fine, and he really arrived at his destination after walking more than 200 meters.Li Tingzhou walked in front and saw the wild vine in front of him at a glance. There were a lot of grapes on it, and it was almost blackish purple.

Tao Ran poked his head out from behind Li Tingzhou, and seeing the piles of fruits in front of him, he was excited to run forward.

Li Tingzhou pulled it back and glanced at it. The grass around the vine was not that deep, and there was a place built with stones. It seemed that it had been cleaned up before, and there were still people resting their feet.

After making sure there was no danger in the grass, Li Tingzhou let Tao Ran run forward.

There are quite a lot of wild grapes on this tree. Although it is not too big, it looks a bit crystal clear. Under the morning light, you can still see the dew on it.

Tao Ran took out the cloth bag he had prepared earlier from his pocket, ran to the tree to pick the grapes, and explained to Li Tingzhou: "I found this wild grape tree. My father took me up the mountain to pick mushrooms. I found this place after running, and the grapes on this tree were sweeter than the ones I planted at home, and the taste should be better these days."

The location here is not too far from the Shennong Spring. Although I have not specifically watered the Shennong Spring, it is probably enough for the water to seep in by itself. Just look at other places in the village that no one takes care of.

Li Tingzhou came over to help Tao Ran pick it up, picked out a few grapes, wiped off the dew and dust with paper, and then handed it to Tao Ran, asking, "How does it taste?"

As soon as he took his mouth, the sweet and sour taste of the grapes made Tao Ran narrow his eyes with a smile. He also picked out a few beautiful wild grapes and fed them to Li Tingzhou's mouth. He said with a smile: "The taste of these grapes is better than I imagined. Try it too, pick some more and go home later.”

"The taste is really good." Li Tingzhou tasted it carefully, "The quality of these grapes can be used to make wine."

"Really? Then let's save some wine. I'll use this vine to cut a few more. The taste shouldn't be too bad." Tao Ran took Li Tingzhou to pick grapes together, and kept saying, "When I was young, I didn't even think that cuttings could still be used. I just knew that I would come to pick grapes and eat them. My dad didn't expect that even if the tree is big enough, it won't bear much fruit."

Hearing Tao Ran's voice, Li Tingzhou couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and chatted with him: "The nearest target is here, so are there other targets?"

"Oh, I still made a mistake in my plan, so I will tell you directly." Tao Ran sighed, a little frustrated with today's failed plan, "There are two jujube trees a few hundred meters to the southeast, and I don't know if they are mature or not. , and the ones in the north..."

Before Tao Ran finished speaking, he was blocked by a small grape that was suddenly stuffed into his mouth. He looked at Li Tingzhou suspiciously and asked with his eyes.

"Since there is no time to pass today, let's go another day. So don't reveal it to me, let me be curious for a few more days." Li Tingzhou said and stuffed another grape into Tao Ran's mouth.

Hearing this, Tao Ran also felt that this was better. After thinking about today's arrangement, he said happily, "You don't have to wait for today. You can come this afternoon. Anyway, it's cool on the mountain."

When the two of them got home, it wasn't long before the peach-picker went down the mountain.Li Tingzhou hurried to help Tao's father and Tian's mother, but Tao Ran went to wash two bunches of grapes first, and fed a few to his parents.

"Hey, these grapes taste really good. I said where did you two go? It turns out that you went to pick wild grapes."

"Is it the vine on the back of the hill? The taste is better than before."

"Dad, you are so smart, how did you guess it?"

"I'm your father, how can I not know you."

The four laughed and quarreled for a while, then hurried to work.Tao Ran mentioned to his parents that he could ask someone to help with cooking, but Tao's father and Tian's mother refused.The two of them are not too old, so they can't enter retirement so early.It's just been a bit busy for the past two months, much better than before.

When all the workers went down the mountain, breakfast was just ready.Most of the tourists have never done such heavy work, and it is quite tiring to pick peaches with their hands raised all the time.Not enough fatigue disappeared temporarily after asking about the aroma of breakfast.

It is said that the breakfast here is delicious, and it really lives up to its reputation!

Tao Shengwen and Tian Yuxia hurriedly greeted the crowd who came to eat like hungry wolves, while Tao Ran and Li Tingzhou asked someone about today's situation.

Fortunately, as they expected, there were no major problems in the middle.It's nothing serious if you encounter any small problems that are hit by peaches.

After understanding the situation, Tao Ran was relieved. Seeing that there were a lot more peaches than usual today, he took a few buns and went out with Li Tingzhou.

Taoyuan Village specially hired a villager to manage the online store and send and receive express delivery.His house is also big, and the things that the villagers sell online are brought here first, and they are packed and arranged according to their categories.In the evening, the courier company that cooperated with Taoyuan Village came to take the package away at once.

When Tao Ran came here, the villagers in charge were busy inside.This family is a good person and has a good reputation in the village. The son of the family has also opened an online store outside before, and has experience in doing this work. Finally, he successfully won the job in charge of the online store.It's been almost a month without any errors.

"Honey, bring me some more cardboard boxes!"

"And some more rolls of tape."

"okay!"

The scene was busy but not flustered. They came to see Tao Ran and the others while they were busy, and hurriedly entertained them warmly.

"Tao Ran and Ting Zhou are here, come, come, let's sit down and drink some tea."

"Uncle, this time I came here to increase the number of peaches my family sells. I picked a lot more today." Tao Ran and Li Tingzhou walked over to help and explained by the way.

"Why don't you send it to the town? No matter how much it is, it will probably be sold out in a while."

"People can sell whatever they want, why do you care so much?" The middle-aged man who worked said with a smile, "I don't know anything about this online store, so tell my boy, Dongzi, come out for a while." He is busy with the online shop every day, and our village has a lot of orders, so he doesn't leave the computer very often."
