Chapter 314 Wild Pigeon

"Xiaofeng, you can go to the orchard later to see if our ponkans are ripe?" Zhang's mother, Wang Guilan, asked her son during lunch.

"Understood Mom, I'll go and have a look after dinner!" Zhang Feng nodded with a smile. He hasn't been to the orchard for a week. The last time he went, the ponkans were only the size of an egg. I don't know what they look like now. Have you matured yet?

So after lunch, Zhang Feng called Dabai and Xiaobai and walked towards the orchard. The two had become selfless gardeners of the Zhang family, eating the weeds in the orchard every half a month.

The orchard of Zhang Feng's family is not big, only about ten acres, among which there are not only seven or eight acres of peaches and plums, but also one or two acres of citrus. In addition, there are scattered pear trees, loquat trees, walnut trees and other fruits or nut.

Regardless of the small area of ​​Zhang Feng’s orchard, this summer has brought hundreds of thousands of income to the family, including 30 million yuan for peaches alone, and more than 40 yuan for plums. Therefore, just selling peaches and Li Zi brought an income of more than 60 yuan to the family.

Autumn has come now, and the citrus in the orchard will soon be on the market. Although there are not many citrus left, the fruit on two acres of land is at least three to four thousand catties. 30 income.

"Okay, you two go eat grass by yourself!" When he came to the orchard, Zhang Feng smiled slightly and let the two silly lambs move freely.

"Oh!” 大! "Dabai Xiaobai raised his head and screamed at Zhang Feng, split his short legs and rushed into the grass.

Seeing the cuteness of the two lambs, Zhang Feng smiled and continued to walk into the orchard.

Along the path in the orchard, bypassing the rugged boulders, and walking for about ten meters, Zhang Feng finally came to a large flat land, and all he saw were fruitful citrus trees, and countless yellowed citrus trees were like lanterns Hanging from the tree, the branches of the citrus tree seem to have been overwhelmed, with their heads drooping almost to the ground.

Seeing so many fruits, Zhang Feng was overjoyed. He did not expect that the super chemical fertilizer would have such a strong fruity fragrance. The fruits on the citrus trees were not only densely packed, but also surprisingly large, and the smallest ones were adults. Zhang Feng saw that the biggest one was as big as a grapefruit. Seeing the surprise of such a good harvest, even Zhang Feng almost dropped his jaw in shock.

Zhang Feng immediately picked one of the most familiar ones to taste, "Well, it tastes good, but it's still a bit sour!"

Zhang Feng estimated that there are still three to five days before these citrus will be on the market in small batches. Then Zhang Feng continued to walk around the citrus grove, seeing the citrus hanging on every fruit tree, his face also showed a smile. Satisfied smile.

"Hey! Xiaofeng came to see the oranges?" At this moment, the second uncle walked slowly from his orchard with a basket on his back.

"Yes, second uncle, how is your ponkan this year?" Zhang Feng asked with a smile.

"Hehe, thanks to your blessing, my ponkans will definitely have a bumper harvest this year with your fruity fragrance." When he mentioned his own ponkans, the second uncle couldn't help showing a satisfied smile on his face.

"However, my family's is still not as good as yours. Look at your ponkans. They fall on the tree in bunches, and the branches are almost collapsed. Tsk tsk... I have lived for so many years, old man, I really haven't seen it. I've been to such a scene before." The second uncle shook his head and said in amazement.

"I didn't expect them to grow so well." Zhang Feng really didn't expect that, seeing the big and dense ponkans growing in the orchard, the smile on his face never stopped.

Zhang Feng was very satisfied. The two acres of ponkans weighed at least five or six thousand catties, twice as much as he had estimated before. Even Zhang Feng did not expect that this year's ponkans would grow so well, even though these ponkans were only Selling it for seven or eight yuan a catty, then the five or six thousand catties of ponkans can be sold for three to four million yuan, which is also a considerable income for Zhang Feng.

"Xiaofeng, I don't know if Yiyi and the others harvest the ponkans? Don't you think our ponkans are almost ripe? Can you ask us?" The second uncle saw that every family's ponkans had a good harvest, but for farmers The more abundant the harvest, the less the income may be. Everyone knows that the rarest is the most expensive thing. A fruitful harvest will generally affect its price.

"Accept, why don't you accept it? Yiyi told me a long time ago that you can rest assured that the price will not be low." Zhang Feng smiled, knowing the second uncle's worry, and he understands it very well, because his family has also met before. I have seen such a thing, but the fruit is not sold after a good harvest, and most of it rots in the orchard.

"Hehe, that's good, that's good." Hearing Zhang Feng's words, the second uncle seemed to have taken a reassurance, and finally let go of his worries, said goodbye to Zhang Feng with a smile, and went to work on his own affairs.

After the second uncle left, Zhang Feng continued to walk towards the barren hill above the orchard. Weeds were overgrown along the way, most of which were thatch and thorns. A hole was cut.

After this period of observation, Zhang Feng has found traces of pheasants and hares on it many times, so Zhang Feng judged that there must be nests of pheasants and hares nearby.

"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!" Suddenly, a rough bird cry reached Zhang Feng's ears.

Zhang Feng's face moved, and he listened carefully. The sound of this bird was very familiar to Zhang Feng, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Suddenly Zhang Feng's face brightened, and he finally remembered what kind of bird it was.

Judging from the direction of the sound, this bird is in the grass seven or eight meters ahead, and the size of this bird should not be small. It is a bird that everyone is very familiar with—pigeon, but I don’t know if it is a wild bird. The ones are still domesticated.

So Zhang Feng gently touched two egg-sized stones on the ground, wanting to catch the bird with his bare hands, even if Zhang Feng was as good as he was, he couldn't do it. These two stones are the key to bird hunting.

puchi~ puchi
As Zhang Feng approached, the two pigeons in the grass flapped their wings and were about to fly high, wanting to escape here immediately.

However, Zhang Feng's reaction was so quick that he immediately threw out the two stones in his hand like a conditioned reflex, and both stones miraculously hit the target. Zhang Feng ran over immediately, happily picking up his prey.

Picking up the two fat pigeons, Zhang Feng was very happy. He can make a pot of pigeon soup when he goes back today. I believe everyone will like it very much.

"Dabai and Xiaobai, you guys are grazing here by yourself. I'll go back first. I'll pick you up in the evening." After catching two pigeons, Zhang Feng couldn't wait to go home, so he greeted Dabai and Xiaobai. Happy to go home.

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..." The two fools are very obedient, and they are very satisfied as long as there is grass to eat, so regardless of whether Zhang Feng will go home or not, they responded to their master and continued to eat the fresh and tender weeds with relish.
