Chapter 217 Picking Osmanthus

"A little bit of Guanghan fragrance, blowing all over the mountains!"

When the autumn wind blew, Yuan Yuan took a deep breath, recited a poem, and continued walking up the mountain happily.

"It smells so good! So the sweet-scented osmanthus is in bloom, and you can smell it from such a distance, Xiaoguo, do you have an sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front of your house?"

"No, no one stopped to appreciate it even if it was planted." Yin Guo lamented that few people pass by the place where his home is located.

Ginkgo likes this kind of place, so she chooses to live there.

"That's a pity. You have worked hard today to accompany me for a run. Later, we will pick chestnuts and go to the village to pick some sweet-scented osmanthus."

There are only a few sweet-scented osmanthus trees in Yuanjia Village, which bloom every year. The whole village is filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, which can be smelled from the mountains.

People in the village are reluctant to go outside to buy cakes. The shops are too expensive. Every year when the sweet-scented osmanthus is in bloom, they will pick a small basket of sweet-scented osmanthus and steam two decent sweet-scented osmanthus cakes to satisfy their hunger.

Although the taste is not as good as the ones in the store, it can also satisfy people's small wishes.

"Later, let's pick some more and make more pastries. I'll send some to you when they're ready. You can also make some osmanthus wine with osmanthus flowers. But osmanthus wine won't be available this year. Let's talk about it next year!" Yuan Yuan imagined.

Seeing the chestnut tree in front of her, her eyes lit up.

There are many people picking the osmanthus tree, but the chestnut tree is different.

Everyone in the village agrees that the fruits on the chestnut trees are not tasty. When Yuan Yuan went up the mountain for the first time, he took a fancy to these chestnut trees, and now he finally waited for them to bear fruit.

Because the chestnuts here are bitter, Yuan Yuan will do his best to water the chestnut trees with Lingxi water every once in a while, and the taste must have changed now.

She will be the first in the village to eat chestnuts!
There are so many fruits, it's a waste not to eat them.

"This is it, hurry up, let's pick it up!" Yuan Yuan kept taking out the bamboo baskets from the space, a total of ten bamboo baskets were neatly placed on the ground.

Yuan Yuan also took out two special gloves and threw a set to Yinguo.

"Pick it up with gloves on. It's the green ball. Be careful not to prick your hands. I'll pick up the ones on the ground. Can you knock on the branches with a stick?"

The silver fruit grows taller than her, and it is convenient to pick the fruit on the tree.

Yinguo looked up at the tree, it was not very tall, and there was no need to knock on it with a stick.

"Master, please let me go first. I will knock off the fruit on the tree and pick it up together later. Don't hit you."

"Good drop!"

Yuan Yuan quickly walked aside, she had been looking at these chestnuts for a long time, she was so greedy, and finally waited until they were ripe, finally caught the silver fruit and came to help.

Originally, I thought it would be troublesome to pick these, but she couldn't go down the mountain for more than an hour.

As a result, Yuan Yuan saw that Yinguo easily jumped onto the branch, stepped on the branch and shook it a few times, the chestnuts were shaken off one by one, hit the ground with slaps, and rolled everywhere.

Yuan Yuan immediately moved some grass and made a small circle, saving the fallen chestnuts from rolling away. When the chestnuts on this tree were almost gone, Yinguo jumped directly to another tree to shake the branches.

The efficiency is very high.

Yuan Yuan was amazed by this bouncing skill, just as light as Nie Mingli stepped on the lotus lantern that day.

"Xiao Guo, how long did it take you to practice lightness kung fu to reach this level?" Yuan Yuan was particularly curious.

If possible, she would also like to try it. She always feels that jumping around feels very free, like flying. This is a completely different experience from walking while being dragged by resentment.

"I've been practicing since I could walk."

Yuan Yuan: "..."

She didn't seem to be very good at it, so she asked again.

"If you put some lotus lanterns on the surface of the lake, step on them and jump with light work, how long will it take to reach that level?"

"Walking on the lotus lantern on the lake?" he pondered. "It can be as little as two or three years, or as long as ten or twenty years."

"The lotus lantern on the water is not as good as the ground or the wall, and the light work on the water is dozens of times more difficult than on the ground."

"Oh?" Yuan Yuan was a little surprised.

She also thought that Nie Mingli belonged to someone similar to herself, and her military strength was not very good, so she could only rely on her brain power to make up for it.

It turned out that I was thinking badly. Even if his lightness kungfu is so good, his martial arts must not be bad, but he didn't expose it.

After picking up ten baskets full of chestnuts, Yuan Yuan went down the mountain contentedly, and came to the side of the osmanthus tree at the head of the village.

When Yuan Yuan got to the osmanthus tree, there were already some figures picking osmanthus, but they didn't pick many, there were still a lot left on the tree. When he walked in, he saw that they were all the aunts from the village, or aunts who had some festivals with her.

Because the last time they couldn't ask for the money, the family members were sent to prison. These old ladies were a little timid when they saw Yuan Yuan, and they didn't dare to talk to her.

"Xiao Liu, why are you here? You also came to pick sweet-scented osmanthus?" Aunt Liu was also in the crowd.

She saw Yuan Yuan walking over with her basket immediately.

Aunt Liu's complexion has improved a lot. Since she helped Yuan Yuan's family make bags, her life has become a lot richer. Although she is alone now, she is living a very nourishing life.

There is food and drink, and there is nothing to chat with the women in the village, and it will not be boring.

"That's right, I want to pick some sweet-scented osmanthus flowers to make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and then make some sweet-scented osmanthus wine to drink next year. I also want to make some sweet-scented osmanthus steamed rice for the eldest brother in the farm."

Aunt Liu groaned: "You can't do this, look at me, I've been picking all morning, and I've only picked this little bit."

She handed her basket to Yuan Yuan to see. Indeed, there was only a thin bottom of the basket, and it was estimated that it could only eat two or three meals.

"Picking sweet-scented osmanthus is really physical work. My neck and hands are sore. There are so many people in your farm. When are you going to pick them? Madam, give them to you."

Yuan Yuan waved his hand and refused: "This is not acceptable, you have worked so hard to pick these, auntie, you can keep them for yourself, I have a way to pick them."

"Do you have a way? You need so much, do you have any good ideas?" Aunt Liu became interested.

The other aunts all listened attentively, and they all told the others not to do anything, just wanting to see what Yuan Yuan did.

They all know that Yuan Yuan is a smart girl, and no one dares to underestimate her.

With the experience of picking chestnuts just now, picking sweet-scented osmanthus is not easy now, all you need is for the silver fruit to shake the tree to shake down the sweet-scented osmanthus.

But the sweet-scented osmanthus tree couldn't stand up, so I had to shake the branches with my hands.

Sweet-scented osmanthus is no better than chestnuts. Chestnuts can be picked up when dropped on the ground. Osmanthus is such a small thing that it cannot be picked up when dropped on the ground.

Yuan Yuan went to find a place to cover it up, and then took out a piece of cloth from the space, because she was doing business with the Wang family cloth company, she put a lot of cloth in the space, which was very convenient for picking up sweet-scented osmanthus.
