The big guy starts with raising pigs

Chapter 167
the next morning
After breakfast, Zhang Hai's family went up the mountain. Today everyone is going to prune the branches of the fruit trees in the orchard! !
"Oh! Uncle has so many prickly pears here!"

Autumn is here, and the wild prickly pears on the roadside are golden and golden, and they look very attractive. Xiao Duoduo cried out in surprise after seeing it! !
"Want to eat it? What a greedy cat!!" Zhang Hai smiled and gave this guy a look, then picked two of them, wiped off the burrs and handed them to him! !

"Hee hee, thank you uncle!!" Xiao Duoduo took the prickly pear and laughed happily! !
"There are a lot of prickly pears in the mountains. I see that they are sold in the high-speed service area. A bag of half a catty costs more than ten yuan!!" Seeing the fruitful prickly pear trees on the roadside, the eldest sister sighed with emotion.

Because almost no one wants this thing in the countryside. Generally, only children will pick two to satisfy their hunger. In addition, occasionally villagers will pick a few catties and go back to make prickly pear wine! !
"More than ten yuan a catty??" Wang Guilan was a little surprised when she heard her daughter's words, "Is anyone buying this?"

"Of course there are people who buy it! It's just that not many people buy it!!" Zhang Qin, the eldest sister, smiled.

Generally, those who buy it are tourists who come to travel, or people in the city buy it back and try something new.

Seeing so many wild prickly pears growing on the roadside, Zhang Hai also thought of when he was a child, everyone had no snacks at that time, so he liked to pick prickly pears on the roadside as fruit. There is a sweetness, just thinking about it makes my mouth water!
Therefore, Zhang Hai is going to pick some back after finishing his work later. If he can't finish eating, he can make dried prickly pears or soak them into prickly pear wine! !
Zhang Hai has also drank the prickly pear wine before. It tastes really good. Not only does it have a unique fragrance, it can also invigorate the stomach and eliminate food, clear away heat and diuresis. Taking a small amount of it has many benefits for the body! !
Soon everyone came to the orchard, the eldest sister took out a large tablecloth and spread it on the ground, and put the little girl on it.

"Little Duoduo, you are here to play with your sister, you can't let her crawl on the ground, do you know?"

"Got it, Mom!!" The little guy nodded seriously.

"Sister, brother is here to play with you, okay?"

Xiao Niuniu turned her head and glanced at him, then fiddled with the doll in her hand, ignoring him at all.

The little guy was not annoyed, he squatted on the ground smiling, watching his sister play by herself! !

Seeing that the two children are so well-behaved, the eldest sister nodded with a smile, and began to trim the branches with a hand saw! ! !
There are still a lot of orchards in four or five acres of land. Even though Zhang Hai worked quickly, it took a whole day for everyone to finish pruning the fruit trees in the orchard! !

"Xiao Hai is back home!!" After Zhang Hai pruned and played with the last fruit tree, Wang Guilan and the others were already waiting for him by the side of the road! !

"Mom, you go back first, I'll go back after picking up some firewood!!" Zhang Hai responded loudly.

Before Zhang Hai noticed that there was not much firewood at home, and he just went into the mountain today, so he wanted to pick up a carload of dry firewood to go back. This car would be enough to burn for ten days and half a month! !
"Then you come back early, we'll go back and cook first!!"

Zhang Hai nodded in response, and picked up dry firewood in the orchard! !
There is a lot of firewood in the orchard, because the branches pruned by every household will be put on the stones to dry, and after they are dried, they will become fuel for everyone to light the fire.

In addition, there are some miscellaneous trees, shrubs, etc. growing in the orchard. After these trees are cut down and dried, they can also be used as firewood!

Because there were a lot of firewood in the field, Zhang Hai picked up a whole large cart in less than half an hour, almost completely covering the tricycle! !

On the way back, I happened to meet the employees of the cooperative after get off work.
"Xiao Hai is picking firewood"

"Xiao Hai, you made a fortune (firewood) today!!"

When everyone saw Zhang Hai pulling a large cart of dry firewood, they all joked about it!
"Haha, there are many more on the mountain, everyone can make a fortune!!" Zhang Hai also responded with a smile! !
Recently, Wang Lei is arranging for everyone to prune the orchards of the cooperative. Everyone knows that pruning means pruning off redundant and unhealthy branches.

Pressing branches is to use a plastic rope to pull the upward-growing branches downward, tie one end of the rope to the branch and the other end to the ground, so that the branches can be stretched horizontally and will not grow higher, because everyone Know that fruit trees grow too high, not only inconvenient to pick, but also not conducive to the photosynthesis of fruit trees! !
…………

"Uncle, are you back?"

"Uncle, look, this is the prickly pear I picked today, isn't it a lot?"

As soon as Zhang Hai's car drove into the yard, Xiao Duoduo showed off his prickly pears! !
"It's just that, it's not enough for me to plug my teeth!!" Zhang Hai said with a smile on purpose.

"Hee hee, uncle, are your teeth that big??" The little guy glanced at Zhang Hai's teeth, and then asked with a smile! !

At this moment, the eldest sister shouted loudly in the main room: "Xiao Duoduo, come quickly, don't block your uncle from working!!"

Zhang Hai is very strong now, he can pick up a large bundle of dry firewood at a time, and in less than 10 minutes, he has neatly piled up a large cart of dry firewood under the eaves next to the house! !
"Xiao Hai, I heard that our fruit sold for a lot of money this year?" Zhang Qin asked with a smile when she saw her younger brother wiping his sweat in the yard.

"Well, it's about [-] to [-]!!" Zhang Hai nodded, and he didn't calculate the exact number.

"So much??" The eldest sister looked at him in surprise! !

"Well, this year our fruits are growing well, and they mature earlier than usual, so the prices are pretty good. Peaches sell for ten yuan a catty, and plums sell for five yuan a catty!!"

Zhang Hai answered with a smile while washing the sweat off his body! !
Hearing her younger brother's answer, Zhang Qin was very surprised. She didn't expect that her peaches and plums could be sold at such a good price, because she also helped sell peaches at home before. Even when they were just ripe, a pound of peaches was no more than four or five at most. block only,

Thinking of this, Zhang Qin became even more curious. I really don't know how my younger brother managed to sell the fruit at such a high price! !

After scrubbing his body, Zhang Hai was also hungry. He walked into the kitchen with a smile and asked his mother:

"Mom, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

"Hehe, I'm stewing ribs. Let's have ribs hot pot later!!" Wang Guilan smiled, the pork chops were gurgling in the pot, exuding a strong smell of meat.

In Qingshan, everyone likes to eat hot pot. All the dishes can be put into the hot pot, which is more convenient during the busy farming season.

After a while, my brother-in-law also came home from get off work! !

Everyone sat by the fire together, eating ribs hot pot beautifully, even the two kids ate with relish! !

"Hehe, Xiao Duoduo, eat slowly, be careful not to burn your mouth!!" Seeing the little greedy cat holding the ribs and stuffing them into his mouth, Wang Guilan quickly reminded with a smile! !

"Got it, grandma!!" The little guy replied inarticulately with his mouth full of food! !

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help laughing! !

　The second update is estimated to be later, around 21:[-]! !
