The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Chapter 96 The Fruit Is Almost Ripe

"Mengmeng, I'm going to the town to pick up your aunt, will you go?" After Cao Shujie returned home with four dogs, he saw his daughter standing in the yard.

Seeing four dogs coming in, Mengmeng ran over directly.

But when her father said that she was going to the town to pick up her aunt, Mengmeng glanced behind her father subconsciously, then turned her head and ran into the house.

After consciously keeping a safe distance, she asked under the building, "Where is Auntie? Auntie is back?"

"Ah, she is in the car now, and she will be in town in an hour." Cao Shujie looked at the watch on his wrist and said to his daughter.

"I'm not going!" Hearing what her father said, Mengmeng continued to run into the house. At the same time, her voice came over: "I'll go find my mother."

"It's really strange that someone can cure this naughty child." Cao Shujie thought this was very interesting!
"But why aren't you afraid of me? Is it because I can't do anything to really beat you?" Cao Shujie thought about this question.

In the room, Cheng Xiaolin said to him: "It's fine if Mengmeng doesn't go, you can eat something and go to the town to wait, or they will all come, and you haven't left yet!"

Cheng Xiaolin complained about her husband.

His mother, Wang Yuelan, didn't say anything, and told him not to forget to book two rooms at the hotel in the town.

Cheng Xiaolin muttered: "You said that there is no hotel in our village, even if there is one, if someone comes over in the future, at least there is a temporary place to live."

"Who would come here!" Wang Yuelan shook her head. She had lived in Caojiazhuang for almost 30 years, and even if she visited relatives, she would go back on the same day.

Cao Shujie settled the four dogs, washed his face, and drove towards Qingshi Town.

I came to Qingshi Town in ten minutes, saw a fast food restaurant frying deep-fried dough sticks, smelled the smell, and passed away. When I asked if there were still tofu nao and big meat steamed buns, Cao Shujie didn’t leave, and planned to eat here first Let's talk.

After eating, Cao Shujie saw how hot it was outside, and he was even more reluctant to go out, so he waited for someone in the store with the air conditioner on. .

He waited in the store until almost nine o'clock, when his sister called and asked where he was, Cao Shujie said to his sister: "I just arrived in town, have you arrived at the temporary station in town?"

"Brother, I'll be there right away. Just wait a few minutes at the station." Cao Huifang checked the time.

After hearing what his sister said, Cao Shujie drove over after hanging up the phone. After waiting for less than 10 minutes, the long-distance bus from Yiling City stopped at the temporary station in Qingshi Town.

Cao Shujie saw his sister get out of the car in the car, and there were two more familiar women behind him, but he couldn't remember their names for a while.

"Fangfang, here!" Cao Shujie got out of the car and shouted towards them.

"Brother!" Cao Huifang ran over with her three classmates.

Both Deng Miaoshan and Huang Jingmin have met Cao Shujie, and this time they also called brother when they met, Zhang Na was the most embarrassing one.

Cao Huifang introduced to her: "Nana, this is my brother."

"Brother, this is my classmate Zhang Na. The four of us went to work in a garment factory together. This time we took two days off and came back, and we have to go back tomorrow." Cao Huifang said.

"So anxious?" Cao Shujie didn't expect his sister to come and go in such a hurry this time.

"No way, if you want to make money, you have to listen to other people's orders. That's what you told me before." Cao Huifang said with a smile.

"Okay, you've grown up!" Cao Shujie felt emotional in his heart, thinking that his sister could understand this truth this time, so it's not in vain to work in summer vacation this time.

Cao Huifang was a little embarrassed by her brother's praise.

Feeling the temperature outside, Cao Shujie asked them to get in the car first, and said: "Let's go to the hotel last time first. I will book a room for you, put your luggage down, and then follow me to Caojiazhuang to see the fruit trees you planted."

Hearing Cao Shujie's arrangement, Zhang Na was even more embarrassed, and felt that her classmate's brother was too much trouble.

Deng Miaoshan and Huang Jingmin expressed their gratitude to Cao Shujie.

Few people came, Cao Shujie finally booked a three-bed room for them, with air conditioning, and the three of them could be companions together. After putting down their things, he drove them straight to Caojiazhuang.

When she saw the familiar village appearing in her field of vision, Deng Miaoshan pointed to Zhang Na and said, "Nana, look, that place is Caojiazhuang for holiday. Does it look very clean here?"

"Really, the sky here looks much cleaner than in the city." Zhang Na looked up at the sky, and he thought it was really clean here.

"Brother, why don't we go to the mountains first." Sister Cao Huifang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, suggested.

Seeing that it was still early, Cao Shujie didn't think much about it, so he said, "It's fine, you can call our mother first, let's go back to eat later."

As he spoke, Cao Shujie turned around and drove up the mountain.

Cao Huifang also called her mother Wang Yuelan to explain the situation.

When going up the mountain, Cao Huifang, Deng Miaoshan and Huang Jingmin, who had been here before, were all surprised that there was still a section of road built on the hillside.

After Cao Shujie parked the car on the parking platform, Cao Huifang finally couldn't help asking: "Brother, did you just repair it?"

"Well, it was repaired last month, isn't it very convenient now?" Cao Shujie said with a smile.

Cao Huifang also admitted that with this highway, it is indeed very convenient to go up and down the mountain.

But the orchard on the mountain has changed too much in the past two months. When they left, there were no wells, automatic sprinkler irrigation equipment, and barbed wire fences around them, but now they are all there.

There were cries of 'moo moo' from the north, and Cao Huifang looked over there, only to notice that there was a lot of calves raised in the north: "Brother, are you raising all those calves over there?"

"Yes, what do you think?" Cao Shujie asked his sister.

Seeing the new changes here, Huang Jingmin and Deng Miaoshan forgot to look at the fruit saplings they planted, and asked Cao Shujie when they encountered something they couldn't understand.

"Don't you look at the fruit saplings?" Cao Shujie asked them.

"Oh, brother, if you don't mention it, I almost forgot." Cao Huifang said carelessly.

Huang Jingmin and Deng Miaoshan also remembered the purpose of their visit, and they said they would go there first to see how the fruit trees were growing.

"Go, I'll take you there." Cao Shujie waved his hand and led the way.

The kiwi fruit saplings they planted at the beginning are next to the barbed wire fence inside, and the breeding area is next door.

After coming here, you can still see the plastic wrapping paper hanging on the fruit tree seedlings. Huang Jingmin found the plastic wrapping paper with her name on it, and you can still see the handwriting on it: "Huang Jingmin planted a yellow heart on May 2011, 5. Kiwi fruit tree."

"Shanshan, look, you wrote this."

"And Fangfang's."

"Hey, Ye Beiwen wrote this, she's been here too." Zhang Na looked surprised.

"Yes, besides her, Xu Fang also came last time." Deng Miaoshan said.

"Brother Jie, let me ask you something." Huang Jingmin couldn't help asking when she saw the fruit saplings they planted.

Cao Shujie didn't think much about it, and asked, "Tell me."

"I just want to ask how many years will it take for the fruit tree we planted to bear fruit?" Huang Jingmin asked.

Hearing her question, Cao Shujie said with a smile: "Two years, and there will be fruit in the next year, but not much."

"Brother, isn't that right? Why do I remember that my mother said that kiwifruits only bear fruit in three years, and they can only bear fruit in large quantities in the fourth or fifth year." Cao Huifang heard his brother say this, face to face Just refute.

Cao Shujie was not angry, but instead said: "Fangfang, under normal circumstances, what you said is also correct, but you forgot what your brother and I are studying?"

"Graduated from Agricultural University?" Cao Huifang said.

"Well, I improved them in the later stage. This is very troublesome to say, and it can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences. You just need to know that these fruit tree seedlings are different." Cao Shujie said.

"Brother, what do you mean, they are all hybrids?" Cao Huifang asked suddenly.

She also took a closer look at the condition of the fruit saplings, but at her half-baked level, she couldn't see anything, so she gave up in the end.

They looked on the mountain for a while, before Cao Huifang pointed to the old orchard and said, "Brother, are those fruits almost ripe? I can already smell the fragrance."

"Well, it's almost there. When you go back tomorrow, I'll pick a few bags for you to take home and share." Cao Shujie said.

Hearing what he said, Cao Huifang was very surprised: "Brother, I remember that kiwis don't ripen until around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is still one and a half months before the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

"That's right, maybe I planted it well!" Cao Shujie didn't care about this, he said: "Let's go, go home for dinner first, come here with bags in the afternoon, pick some for you to take with you tomorrow, then give it to your classmates, Colleagues are divided."

Deng Miaoshan suddenly said: "Brother Jie, can I take some back for my parents to taste?"

"Yes!" Cao Shujie heard her say that, and said with a smile, "I'll pick some more for you in the afternoon."

He took the four of them to the parking place, and said, "Let me tell you, the taste of my kiwi fruit is absolutely delicious, much better than the ones on the market. Who else wants to take it back for your family to taste?" Is it?"

"Brother, just brag!" Cao Huifang didn't believe it. She said, "When our parents planted this orchard, it's not like I didn't eat it. The taste is better than the one grown in the field below, but you didn't say it So exaggerated."

This is the classic brother-sister teardown. Cao Shujie rolled his eyes at his sister and said to her: "You also said that it was when our parents planted it before, but now I am planting it. I am a graduate of the Agricultural University and have passed the Agricultural Science Research Institute. Yes, relying on experience with our parents, can it be the same?"

"Then pick a few and take them back to taste?" Cao Huifang went directly to the old orchard.

When we got closer, the fruity aroma became stronger.

In addition, she also found that these kiwis were all about the same size. She clearly remembered that when she followed her parents to the orchard, the kiwis she saw were all different sizes and uneven in size.

"Why is that?" Cao Huifang was particularly puzzled.

"Brother, why are the fruits you grow so big?" Cao Huifang asked her brother.

Cao Shujie said: "I told you a long time ago, what our parents and I planted are two different things."

He glanced at it, picked a dozen oversized kiwis from the vines, and said, "Let's go, we'll have to ripen them when we get home."

"It's all fruity, don't need to ripen it." Cao Huifang is not an ignorant person, she raised her hand to pinch a kiwi fruit, and just as hard as she did, she discovered that although the kiwi fruit has a fruity aroma, it is still It's hard, you can't pinch it at all!
It's really like what her brother said, you have to be familiar with it.

Deng Miaoshan, Huang Jingmin, and Zhang Na didn't understand these things even more. Hearing the conversation between the brothers and sisters Cao Huifang, Deng Miaoshan asked: "Does this still need to be familiarized? It can be eaten after peeling the skin."

"Oh, Shanshan, the kiwis you eat are all overripe. Ordinary kiwis are hard and sour." Cao Huifang began to explain.

Deng Miaoshan didn't believe it, she, Huang Jingmin and Zhang Na squeezed a few of them lightly and hard, and found that they were really hard, completely different from what she had eaten before.

Cao Shujie, who was walking in front, said: "When it matures naturally, there are also very soft ones, but that one can't hold it, and it will break in a few days. No matter how good it is, it can't be sold."

"So it is like this!" Several people suddenly realized.

After locking the gate, they drove them down the mountain. When they returned home, Mengmeng, who was playing in the yard, heard the sound of the car, turned around and ran towards the bedroom of the three of them without looking back.

He also knew that he had locked the door behind his back and was determined not to let his aunt in.

"Mengmeng, what do you mean?" Cao Huifang froze when she saw her niece being so disrespectful.

Mengmeng said angrily, "I don't like you."

"I'm so mad, then I won't come back next time." Cao Huifang shouted with a smile outside.

Mengmeng said smoothly: "OK, OK."

They will all use English.

When Cheng Xiaolin heard the conversation between her daughter and sister-in-law, she couldn't help but burst out laughing on the spot.

"Mengmeng, come out quickly."

"Mom, I don't!" Mengmeng quit, and kept hiding in the room without going out.

Cao Huifang didn't dare go over and push the door hard, for fear that her niece would be pushed down, and it would be bad if she did fall.

"Mengmeng, can you see what Dad picked?" Cao Shujie still held the picked kiwi fruit in his hand.

After seeing it, Cheng Xiaolin asked her, "Shujie, are you familiar with this?"

"It's almost done, just ripen it with the bananas." Cao Shujie said.

Hearing what his son said, Cao Jianguo, who was in the room, couldn't sit still. He asked, "Shujie, if the kiwi fruit is ripe, how are you going to sell it?"

"At this time, there are no second-hand traffickers coming to collect them. Why didn't you tell me in advance, so I could be prepared." Cao Jianguo began to complain about his son, feeling that he didn't care.

But Cao Shujie had a plan in mind, he didn't get angry because his father reprimanded him, and then said: "Dad, don't worry, it will definitely be sold?"

"Then tell me, how do you plan to sell it?" Cao Jianguo clung to his son.

Cao Shujie said with certainty: "I'll see if I can deliver kiwis to towns and counties tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

"Send?" Cao Jianguo was confused.

Then he saw his son nodding his head and said, "Yes, it's only for gift and not for sale!"

No matter how good something is, it’s useless if no one knows about it. You have to give a part of it out in the early stage, so that others will think about it after eating it, that’s all right!
As for attracting people?
Caojiazhuang was not well-known at all in the early days, and there was no gimmick. At that time, kiwis and apples were not yet ripe. Did he use his mouth to attract them?
Cao Jianguo didn't expect his son to think so, he frowned and asked, "Is it really possible?"

"Dad, just trust me. We can't just consider the few acres of land in front of us. I have also planted more than 50 acres of kiwifruit and apples. If there is a bumper harvest next year, who do you expect to sell it to?" Cao Shujie Said very seriously.
