My village can't be like this

Chapter 551 The grapes are ripe
Seeing Ding Yi staring at the grapes hanging on the shelf with bright eyes, how could Zhang An hide the naked desire for his own grapes in this guy's eyes.

We have been friends for several years, but no one knows that this guy is also a complete foodie.

"Wouldn't you know what it is by trying it yourself?"

Zhang An glanced at the fruitful bunches of grapes on the grape trellis, then reached out to pick a bunch and handed it to Ding Yi.

The grape trellis was not very high, just over two meters tall, and Zhang An could reach it with just a little stretch of his hand.

"Forget it, forget it, we're going to eat soon, let's keep it for later as an after-dinner fruit."

In front of Zhang An's family, Ding Yi was extremely polite.

"That's up to you."

Zhang Anke ignored this guy. He picked one and put it in his mouth, then picked another one and handed it to little Siqi who was sitting on his lap and looking forward to it.

Ever since the child saw Zhang An reaching out to pick grapes, his two big eyes had been staring at him without blinking, fearing that if he blinked, the grapes in Zhang An's hand would disappear.

As time goes by, the little guy will naturally become familiar with these things.

After all, their family also has a restless master, who is even more difficult to deal with than the little guy in front of them.

So when Ding Yi reached out and broke it off, he immediately stared at Ding Yi with his eyes wide open.

These grapes grown at home have not been treated with any pesticides, so they are still very clean. You don’t need to wash them when you pick them. You can eat them directly after just rubbing them.

After Ding repeatedly promised him benefits and deceived him, the alert look on Xiao Siqi's face disappeared.

Seeing how the father and son were enjoying the food, Ding Yi, who was originally a bit serious, couldn't pretend anymore, so he reached over and broke off two grapes.

After Ding Yi coaxed the eldest young master of the Zhang family, he put the two grapes on his hand into his mouth.

Looking at Ding Yi's bulging face now, he might be wondering how this Uncle Ding could start puffing up just like a frog while playing.

It's possible that Zhang An started feeding the little guy grapes from space when he was still very young.

There is no way, the eldest young master of the Zhang family has a very high status in the family. If he is not dealt with, it will be embarrassing if he eats the grapes later and the little guy cries for him.

"Is it the one they grow in the town's yard? I've eaten it too, but it's not as delicious and not as big."

In his opinion, except for his parents and grandparents at home who can touch things that belong to him, anyone else who touches them is considered a bad person.

As the weather gets hotter, Zhang An's family's food no longer mainly consists of meat and oil. When Wang Fang cooks, he mostly cooks vegetarian cold dishes.

"Hey, let me try it too."

During this time, Zhang Tie and the others were playing with their nephew Xiao Siqi. They usually gave him the choice of frogs, loaches, and sparrows when they caught them.

After patiently finishing the grape pulp in his mouth, Ding Yi asked impatiently.

But even though the deal had been reached, the little guy still kept his eyes on him, probably because he was afraid that he would touch his treasure again.

You must know that when Li Hongbin brought grapes before, Zhang An felt that these things were unusual.

If it's a sour variety, he just tastes it and throws it away immediately without even looking at it.

Xiao Siqi's hostile expression naturally did not escape Ding Yi's eyes.

Generally, he only likes to eat what Zhang An brought out from the space, or what he grew at home during this period. The taste is only slightly inferior to what he took out from the space.

"I don't know what variety it is. This grape was obtained from Lao Li's family. After I improved it a little, it became like this. However, their grapes are quite big to begin with."

Although Wang Fang has always doted on him, because he was still young, he was afraid that he would eat up his stomach, so he only picked a few of them every day to coax him.

Zhang An's words are absolutely true. After the space improvement, the grapes are so delicious. In the final analysis, it is because the foundation is so good.

But after he smelled the alluring aroma from the two grapes, he couldn't help it and stuffed the two grapes directly into his mouth like a wolf.

Instead, he pestered his grandma and wandered around the backyard every day, thinking very strangely.

Xiao Siqi had been staring at him now. When he saw Ding Yi's face suddenly bulging, his two big eyes immediately opened wide.

"What's the point? I've made some improvements on cuttings and grafting myself. Naturally, they won't be exactly the same. Okay, why are you thinking about this? Eat and eat."

"Don't worry, Uncle Ding won't take anything for nothing. He will buy you toys and delicious food when he comes back next time."

Now as I grow up slowly, I have developed the habit of eating grapes.

The eating habits of people in this area are basically the same. It will definitely be much more comfortable to eat cold vegetarian food in summer.

Although adults have bigger mouths, the grapes are not small to begin with. Ding Yi put both grapes into his mouth at once, and his face immediately became bulging, as if he had stuffed two balls into his mouth. .

In Xiao Siqi's eyes, the grapes picked by Zhang An had long been taken by him as his own.

As for other ones bought from the market, if they are very sweet, he may eat a few.

It happened that at this time, Wang Fang brought out the last bowl of vegetable cold melon. The dishes were all ready and the meal was ready.

"Hey, this kid hasn't grown up yet, but he has already learned how to protect his food."

Ding Yiou Xie was surprised, maybe he remembered it wrong.

A few days ago, when there were a few grapes on the grape trellis in the backyard that could be eaten, little Siqi stopped making noises and asking people to take him out to play.

It's just that the little guy is very clear-minded, and not all grapes can get into his eyes.

Obviously, Ding Yi at this moment has become a bad guy in Xiao Siqi's eyes.

"Hey, Zhang An, what kind of grapes do you have? Not only are they so big, they are also so delicious. I feel like all the grapes I have eaten before were in vain."

The roasted pepper eggplant, roasted pepper preserved egg, beans and cold melon have already taken up less than half of the food.

Some are eaten with chili peppers, some are eaten with dipping sauces, and some are eaten plain. Anyway, there are sour, spicy, and sweet ones.

The sweet thing is naturally the boiled small cucumber, which is grown from Zhang An’s own melon seeds. Whether fried, boiled, meat or vegetable, it is delicious in any way.

Zhang An's family eats a lot of food, and Wang Fang generally likes vegetarian food. Its sweetness is not as sweet as sugar, but it is light in the mouth and then slowly returns to sweetness.

"Aunt Wang's cooked melons are so delicious. I'll pick some and take them home to eat later."

Ding Yi usually socializes a lot, and eats a lot of big fish and meat in the city. When the dishes were changed today, he suddenly found that his appetite was much better.

He cooked two bowls of rice just for the water used to boil the melons.

"It doesn't matter to you, I already picked a basket and sent it to Aunt Ding and the others this morning."

Although Zhang An's family only has one vegetable plot left to grow vegetables, they still grow quite a lot.

No matter what food is available to eat, Wang Fang will send some to the homes of relatives and friends such as Zhang An. At this moment, Ding Yi's cell phone rang in his pocket.

"Hey, I ate here at Zhang An's house. You can eat it yourself."

After Ding Yi answered the phone, he replied that it was probably Li Li who called to tell him to go back for dinner.

After the meal, Ding Yi did not rush home, but drank herbal tea with Zhang An under the grape trellis in the backyard.

The afternoon sun still shines strongly on the ground.

It's just that the dense branches and leaves on the grape trellis completely cover the entire trellis, and it's completely shaded under the trellis.

The mountain breeze in the distance passes through the water-filled fields, and feels cool and comfortable on the skin.

Now is the slack season for farmers, and his father, Zhang Jianguo, goes out every day to gather with villagers and set up a dragon gate formation.

Su Ying and Wang Fang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already taken Xiao Siqi to Zhou Yang's house.

Zhou Yang's wife recently got pregnant, and their whole family paid great attention to it, so the Zhou family's sister-in-law often invited Su Ying to their home to teach Chen Wenwen her experience.

"Zhang An, do you plan to grow more varieties of grapes? If this thing is put on the market, I can guarantee that the price will not be low."

After drinking two cups of tea, Ding Yi finally revealed his purpose.

After tasting the grapes just now, he had made up his mind.

The price of grapes is very expensive these days. The grapes from Zhang An's family are simply the king of grapes in terms of size and taste.

If this was put on the market, it would definitely be a target of being snatched up.

"Stop, I don't have this plan. The orchard at the back is already difficult to maintain. It's hard to take care of too many grapes. I don't want to bother with this. I can just plant a few and eat them myself."

As soon as Ding opened his mouth, Zhang An knew what he wanted to do, so he immediately and decisively stopped his thoughts.

The fruit trees in their orchard have grown up in the past two years, and they can no longer be as lazy as before. All pruning and fertilizing management must be done.

The cherries and peaches in the orchard alone are enough to keep the family busy, and he is not willing to cause any more trouble for himself.

Anyway, relying on this orchard, you can make a net profit every year. If you make more money, you will make yourself uncomfortable.

"Don't be so lazy. Your grapes are really promising. There just happens to be such a large piece of land vacant by the river. It would be a waste not to use it."

Although Zhang An had already refused, Ding Yi did not give up and was still persuading him earnestly, trying to pull Zhang An back from the path of laziness.

"Okay, I've made up my mind. Stop talking. I still have use for the land by the river. I can't waste it. Besides, even if I plant it, you will definitely be able to eat it? I don't believe you can steal it. He’s better than his fat brother.”

As soon as Zhang An said these words, Ding Yi stopped talking.

Only then did he remember that there was Lu Cheng watching eagerly.

That guy was serious about the fruit business. If Zhang An really wanted to grow these grapes, he really couldn't compete with Lu Cheng.

After all, they have their own sales, and Zhang An is always willing to raise prices, so he can still make some money in the end.

But that's not the case here. Except for the provincial capital, the consumption intensity in other places is just that, and the price is too high to justify taking it away.

Although the relationship between the two of them allowed him to play the emotional card, making his friend lose money was not something he could do, so he stopped mentioning it now.

"Okay, I'll go back then, but you can pick some grapes for me and take them back. I haven't been back for a long time and I have to go and please my man."

Although he failed to achieve his goal, before leaving, Ding Yi still had no intention of letting go of Zhang An's grapes.

It's another thing if the business isn't concluded. It's definitely indispensable to take some back home to eat by yourself.

"I have the basket and scissors at home, so if you want, you can do it yourself."

Zhang An glanced at Ding Yi, he wanted benefits and wanted me to work, but there was no way.

Ding Yi himself was not polite and quickly went back to the house to find a basket and come out with a pair of scissors.

He is shorter than Zhang An, and his wingspan is not that long, so he cannot reach the grapes on the shelf by himself.

I can only pull up a stool for cushioning, stand on it and pick it up one by one.

After spending some effort, I only picked three bunches of grapes and the basket was already full.

I guess a bunch like this would weigh a few pounds, and it looks really pleasing to the eye.

"There are not many that are ripe now. When they are all ripe in the future, you can leave some more for me and I will use them to make some wine."

Zhang An's grapes are so big, have a lot of pulp, and are very sweet, so they are very suitable for making wine.

It's just that it's still early August, and there aren't many ripe grapes on the racks yet. Even if he has this idea, he still has to wait.

"Okay, okay, let's go quickly. If you stay any longer, you will miss everything."

After Ding Yi's reminder, Zhang An remembered that the wine he had brewed had already been finished, and he could make some while the grapes were in season.

After Ding left and there was no one at home, Zhang An got into the space and started making wine.

These things should be troublesome for beginners, at least Zhang An didn't find it easy the first time he did them.

However, he has done it many times in the past few years and has gained a lot of experience, so he is quite comfortable doing it.

In the end, it took quite a long time to brew two large vats of grapes, and now we just have to wait for them to ferment on their own.

After leaving the space, no one else in the family has returned.

Zhang An picked up the phone and called Zhu Yuliang.

"Lao Zhu, the injuries on the two leopards have been healed. When you are free, come over and see how to deal with it."

The big cat and the second cat at home were brought back from the Forestry Bureau, and they certainly cannot be kept as pets at home openly.

Now that so much time has passed, Zhu Yuliang called several times to ask about the two of them, fearing that they would be taken care of by Zhang Any, and that they would be inferior to leopards.

"What else can we do? Of course we have to put it back in the mountains. We don't have a zoo here, so I don't want to take advantage of other places."

Animals captured in the wild will basically be released into the wild as long as they are able, and only a small number will be sent to zoos to be raised.

There are no zoos in the county or even the city, so if you want to send them, you can only send them to the province.

Zhu Yuliang must be unhappy, so he would naturally choose to release his life.
