My Live Life at the Zoo

Chapter 250 Picking Oranges in the Mushroom House (Two Chapters in One)

Although Ganoderma lucidum is a treasure, everyone quickly put away their amazement.

Because they are basically famous stars in the entertainment industry, and Shen Teng, a male god with a box office of 200 billion, once said a word: When a star comes in quickly, they will naturally come in faster, and they can spend money easily Buy precious medicinal materials such as ganoderma lucidum and ginseng.

After saying goodbye to the mother bear family, they went down the mountain.

Because I have to pick oranges.

This was what Huang Sanshi specially instructed.

Mother Xiong has been witnessing Li Xiao and his party going down the mountain.

To be precise, she was observing Li Xiao.

How could she generously give away 40 to [-] precious Ganoderma lucidum?
Nature has a purpose!
Although Ganoderma lucidum has no way to pay back the money, but if it or the two little black bears eat it, it will greatly nourish the body and will not be wasted at all.

On the way, Li Xiao asked curiously: "Don't we need to plant trees in exchange for everything this season? Why are we suddenly allowed to pick oranges from the villagers?"

Little Sheep Xingxing explained: "Director, you don't know that during the few days you left, a large number of guests came to help us plant trees. Basically, there are not many trees left. What do we want to do now? You can change things as you want, and the program team will greet you in advance."

Xingxing, the little sheep, walked out of a step that was not recognized by his relatives while talking, quite like a nouveau riche.

"Among those guests, there was another person who took my sister's first on-screen kiss."

Peng Peng enthusiastically added.

As soon as the voice fell, he said with an unhappy face: "Hey! Why did I bring up this sad topic!"

What Peng Peng was talking about was the actor Liang Jingkang in "The Sky of the Wind Dog".

In the play, he and Liang Jingkang are rivals in love.

But now, my rival in love has taken away my sister's first screen kiss, but I haven't had a kiss scene yet. It's really a sad story.

What Peng Peng said made everyone laugh.

While talking and laughing, Li Xiao and others finally returned to the village, and came to the house of Grandpa Chen who planted oranges.

Grandpa Chen's name is Chen Sihai, and he is weaving baskets at this time.

"grandfather!"

"We're here."

"welcome."

Chen Sihai looked up at Li Xiao and the others, and said, "It's just in time for you to come, the oranges I planted in the back mountain are worried that no one will pick them."

At this time, a young man who looked a little like Chen Sihai walked out of the room, and complained: "Grandpa, it's not that no one picks your orange trees, it's because others are not rare to pick them."

Like most people in the village, Chen Sihai owned a piece of land in the back mountain and planted a lot of oranges.

Although his planting techniques are very good, and these oranges are round and plump, golden in color, but the current crops are worthless at all, which leads him to forcibly dig down a few trees almost every year, otherwise he will lose money if he invests too much .

Nowadays, if you fill a bottle of wheat with a bottle of mineral water, the money you sell is not enough to sell a bottle of mineral water.

With the money sold for one apple, you can't buy a steamed stuffed bun.

As cruel as it is, it is what it is.

Farming doesn’t make any money at all, and almost every year you have to spend your own money, so now many people don’t want to grow crops anymore.

Even if the state has subsidies, people know that the subsidy is not much, and after subsidy layer by layer, part will be taken away layer by layer, and less than one-tenth of what is actually in the hands of ordinary people.

Either sell your own land to other people, or harvest and reduce production every year. Anyway, you will never plant crops in the field. You have to work hard for a year with your face on the loess and your back to the sky. In the end, you have to pay for it yourself. I will feel wronged in my heart.

Some people may think this is unrealistic, but the cruel reality is indeed the case.

Not long ago, there was a news. An old couple drove a tricycle full of vegetables to the city to sell. There were 15 catties of spinach in total, but someone bought it for [-] yuan.

Therefore, almost every year, many people prefer to throw away the vegetables and fruits they grow.

Chen Sihai has never dumped oranges, because his generation loves crops and food, but in order not to lose money, he can only cut down some orange trees every year.

Originally there were a hundred or so trees planted, equivalent to an orange orchard, but now there are only twenty or thirty trees left.

At that time, even if he can't sell it, he can pick it and distribute it to the villagers in the village.

At least not wasted!

"You're the one who talks a lot of nonsense."

Chen Sihai rolled his eyes, started to introduce, and said, "This is my grandson, named Chen Ping, who is only 17 years old this year."

"Grandpa, I'm eighteen years old."

Chen Ping said dissatisfied.

When boys reach this age, they will pay special attention to age.

The reason is simple, at least when you become an adult, you can go to Internet cafes openly.

"You're the one who talks a lot! This year, you and I will take the guests to the field to pick oranges!"

Chen Sihai's right hand trembled, and it could be seen that he was holding back.

Li Xiao noticed that Chen Sihai's waistband was a little loose.

It seems that in the face of this rebellious boy who is catching up with puberty, he has often used a belt for whipping education.

"I know, I know."

Chen Ping packed the basket impatiently.

After the old man and the young man finished preparing the tools, Li Xiao and his party, led by them, walked along the rugged mountain road towards the slope of the back mountain.

Not long after, they crossed a difficult dirt road and finally saw a lush forest with various fruit trees planted in it.

"Director, there are Maotao from Grandpa Li's house next door, Yali from Wang Laoshi's house, and pears from Datou Li's house!"

Chen Ping walked in the front, pointing and introducing Li Xiao and others.

Although he was a little rebellious in adolescence, he behaved like a little brother obediently in front of Li Xiao.

Because he is a fan of Li Xiao, he surrounded Li Xiao a lot to ask for autographs along the way, and even asked Li Xiao a lot of questions about animals.

No matter how arrogant a person is, when he sees his idol, he will behave like a kitten.

"This peach is not bad!"

Li Xiao said with deep emotion, "Look at this peach, it's big and round."

Compared with peaches such as nectarines, yellow peaches, etc., Li Xiao prefers peaches.

Although there is a layer of fine hairs on the surface of the peach, it tastes a bit prickly, but the surface can be peeled off.

Moreover, compared with other peaches, Mao peaches are more tender and juicy, and the mouth is full of sweet juice after one bite.

For some ripe peaches, you just need to insert a straw and drink it.

"Hey! Old man Chen, brought the guests from Mushroom House to the orchard!"

"Hey! Isn't this the head of the park? I saw on the news two days ago that the head of the park rescued the finless porpoise in the Pearl River. I didn't expect to come back so soon. He looks so handsome! Do you have a girlfriend? My natal family has My eldest niece is fair, beautiful and long-legged, and she is a graduate student, how about letting me introduce you?"

"Wang Cuihua, that's enough! Your niece looks like Zhang Fei, Li Kui, and Sand Monk. How can she be worthy of such a handsome director? I think my cousin is fine."

"Xiu Rui: The three you mentioned have more or less something to do with me!"

"Isn't this Peng Peng, thinner and more handsome than the previous seasons!"

"My sister is also pretty."

"Hahaha!"

At this time, many villagers were working in the fields. Seeing Li Xiao and his party, they laughed at each other and laughed.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xincheng and Liang Jie smiled from the bottom of their hearts.

In this small mountain village, although it is a bit dilapidated and poor, the relationship between the neighbors is very harmonious, and the atmosphere of the whole village is very good.

The most important point is that these ordinary people are very simple, even if they meet celebrities, they will not rush forward like some brain-dead fans. The star's response will be unreasonable insults and smashing things.

On the contrary, these ordinary people regard the celebrities as if they are villagers, and they make various teasing and chatting without reservation, which makes people feel very kind, and they will naturally feel that they are a part of this place.

Living in such a place, people's minds will become unprecedentedly peaceful.

In today's noisy and impetuous society, this is the life I yearn for!
"Grandpa Li, can we eat a few of your peaches?"

Li Xiao noticed the salivating eyes of Little Sheep Xingxing and others, and asked loudly.

"Okay! You can eat whatever you want. Anyway, if you can't sell it at that time, I have to throw it away. It's better to eat it than to throw it away!"

It can be heard from these words that it is not that the oranges grown by Chen Sihai cannot be sold, but the crops of the rest of the common people are also very difficult and will be dumped.

"Thank you!"

After thanking them, Li Xiao and the others began to search for peaches that were enough to satisfy them. After they were picked, they didn't need to be washed with water, and they could be eaten with a light rub.

It is all natural after all.

And after the peach grows up, there is no need to spray pesticides.

Even if it is washed without water, it will not be affected.

The original taste tastes better.

"Wow! Yummy!"

The little sheep Xingxing took the first bite and couldn't help but sigh.

"good to eat!"

"Very fresh!"

"Still sweet!"

"Much better than the ones I buy in town!"

Immediately afterwards, everyone expressed their emotions.

Li Xiao explained with a smile: "It's a popular science knowledge. In fact, most of the fruits and vegetables eaten in the city are laced with hormones. Because in order to facilitate transportation and prevent them from rotting during transportation, farmers will pick some less ripe ones in advance. Fruits and vegetables are then injected with hormones, and after being transported to the city, they will naturally mature.

But this is not a purely natural maturity, so whether it is taste or texture, it will be relatively inferior. "

Li Xiao is not talking nonsense, but stating the facts.

If you don’t believe it, you can go to the countryside to pick some natural and ripe fruits, and then buy some fruits from the market in the city, and compare them, and you will be clear at a glance.

Unless some rural areas are relatively close to the city, the vegetables and fruits grown can be transported to the place on the same day, so these troubles are saved.

While speaking, Li Xiao had already picked a peach and bit it down.

The moment the tooth breaks through the peach, sweet juice gushes out from the opening, like a small fountain.

"Hahaha, I remembered a video I saw on the Douyin short video platform. Someone cut a hole in the peach with a knife, and the water sprayed out for two or three minutes."

"Don't doubt it, it's true. I bought one last year and only made a small opening. Now the whole city is fighting floods."

"It's true. My family has [-] acres of garlic seedlings, which are irrigated by the water sprayed after a peach is cut."

"There has been a drought in our village for thousands of years. I bought a catty of peaches. Now not only is there no drought, but it has become a city of Venice."

"When I was traveling in the desert, I brought a peach with me. Guess what, the desert was flooded!"

In the live broadcast room, talents emerge in large numbers.

After seeing this scene, they expressed their views one after another.

One by one is as funny as it is funny.

Looking at the funny barrage, Li Xiao said with a smile: "These are all false propaganda on the Internet. Don't believe it, almost everything is fake now, even the propaganda is no exception."

"I ate a Snickerdoodle when I was a child, and my mother locked me in the basement for eight years, and I wasn't hungry at all!"

"Later, I chewed a box of Hyun Wheat and was chased and beaten by my dad for hundreds of kilometers. I couldn't stop at all!"

"Running to the edge of the cliff, I ate another piece of Dove. I couldn't fall to my death after jumping from a height of several thousand meters, because it was so silky and slippery!"

Li Xiao just made jokes casually, and for a while, the tourists in the live broadcast room and everyone around him burst into laughter.

Chen Sihai's orange field is not far from here. After eating the peaches, he walked for five or six minutes and arrived.

Li Xiao stood on the ground and took a general look. There are 27 or eight orange trees here, and almost all of them are tall and strong, and none of them are slender or listless.

After all, most of the trees were cut down before, and those who remained were basically the best of the best.

Under the trees, there are no dense weeds either.

On the tree, golden oranges hung high, each bigger than the other, like little lanterns.It can be seen that Chen Sihai often comes to take care of it.

It's a pity that no matter how well it is taken care of, it can't be sold at a good price.

"How can such a good orange not be sold?"

"Director, please post the link, we will buy it."

"What the hell, the oranges I bought today are astringent and small, but the price is really expensive."

"It's all the middlemen's fault. They took all the money away. As a result, farmers can't sell their crops at a good price, and some people want to buy them but there is no market."

"Isn't it possible to shop online now? Can you also promote it through live broadcasts?"

"How many live broadcasts are genuine? You have to believe that you will never be able to buy the item in the host's hand!"

"Now the people who are really farming are the older generations, and how can those older generations know how to live broadcast and bring goods? Just like middlemen, basically some companies are operating behind the scenes!"

There are still people who understand in the live broadcast room.

One word to reveal the truth.

Looking at the barrage, Li Xiao came up with the idea of ​​selling fruits for these common people.

Anyway, each of their households doesn't grow much.

If you can sell at a good price throughout the year, you can have a good year.
