Chapter 77

After lunch, Meng Qingliang and his wife went to take a nap, Zheng Jian went back to the lotus pond and chatted with Meng Liuye, while Meng Zhen surfed the Internet in the living room.When she moved, she took her laptop up the mountain, but it was not convenient to pull the network cable on the mountain, so her desktop computer was still placed in the yard, and it was not like she would not come back anyway.

On QQ, she was the only one in the group, and now it was lunch break, those who went to work should eat and rest, and those who took care of the children should sleep with the children.

Open the online store and check her own transactions. Because she can’t always hang on the Internet, she has developed a self-service shopping process. In detail, her online store only does intra-city transactions, and the shipping fee will be automatically reduced when a single order exceeds 50 yuan.

With self-service shopping, Meng Zhen checks the Internet every morning or noon, sorts out the paid orders, packs the fruits according to the buyer's requirements, and delivers them directly to them when the student workers come in the afternoon.

Now, in addition to the original strawberries, dates and walnuts, she has added a lot of new fruits to her shop.The fruit trees she planted in the lotus pond, because she often cheated, were already mature, and she took a lot of pictures of apples and pears and put them up.

Not to mention, apples and pears sold quite a lot shortly after they hit the shelves.Affected by the climate this year, the supply of local fruits is not available, and the cost of transporting fruits from the south has increased, which has caused the price of fruits in the market to skyrocket.When apples were the most expensive, they were sold for seven or eight yuan a catty, and three or five apples cost more than ten yuan when weighed.

Meng Zhen's apples are tall and full, and they are authentic Shandong Red Fuji. Her pictures include the fruit hanging on the tree, some are picked and placed in a crystal fruit bowl, and there are also pictures of the finished product wrapped in a basket and plastic wrap. Look no worse than supermarkets.The point is that the people who come to her shop are all regular customers. Everyone has eaten her strawberries and persimmons, and they know that her products are pure healthy foods without pesticides.The price is more expensive than the supermarket, not to mention it’s not expensive, and it’s delivered to your door, which makes a group of nerds and nerds who are lazy as hell wish Meng Zhen could sell more fruits and vegetables, so that they don’t even have to go to the supermarket. .

After processing today's order, Meng Zhen remembered the giant snake she encountered in the morning. Lei Ao said it was a python. She was a little suspicious, so she searched online.

"It really looks like a python, but these pythons live in the south. Not to mention the lack of water in the north, the climate is not suitable for them. The temperature changes so much in all seasons of the year, except for summer, not to mention winter, it is spring. It can also freeze to death..."

Meng Zhen gnawed on an apple with one hand, clicked pictures on the Internet with the other hand, and muttered to himself from time to time.

After watching for a long time, she has always been afraid of these soft and aggressive animals. After seeing too many pictures, she felt a little nauseous.Forget it, if you don't provoke it, it shouldn't come to harass you, right? !

Meng Zhen comforted herself a little uncertainly, why don't she ask the old man in the village if there is any way to prevent snakes, she doesn't want to wake up and find that her house is occupied by snakes.

After turning off the computer, Meng Zhen looked at the time. It was already 02:30 noon, and he should have taken a nap by this time.When she was at work before, she didn't have the habit of taking a nap, nor did she have this time.Since coming here, like the people in the village, she has taken a nap after lunch.

Today, I went to explore the mountains and missed the time of surfing the Internet. In order to take care of the shop, she had no choice but to stay awake.

Meng Zhen remembered that she hadn't paid Mr. Wang's wages yet. Although Wang Zhixing was responsible for the fence, they refused to take the money and insisted on asking her to settle the bill for the old man.And Meng Zhen was worried that he would meet this person when he went to Mr. Wang's house, so he never went. He heard from Zheng Jian during dinner today that it seemed that this prisoner had gone to the police station to report on his thoughts on life, and he probably wouldn't be in the village all day.

It happened that he was not there, so Meng Zhen decided to send money to Mr. Wang and ask him about the snake.She thought about it, said hello to Aunt Xie who was busy with laundry, took two handfuls of walnuts from the kitchen, put them in a small basket, and walked to the house of Third Master Wang in Zhongjie.

"Third Grandpa, this is your wages, order some!" Meng Zhen put the walnuts on the wooden table in the yard, and sat down on a random twig.

"Hey, just drive two nails, how much money do you need? Besides, this work is also done by my apprentice, how can I collect money?"

Lord Wang likes Meng Zhen very much. This girl is generous and sensible. The key is to know how to respect the elderly.

"Hehe, just keep it. I gave your apprentice the money that day, but he didn't accept it. If you want me to give it to you, you can take it." Meng Zhen picked up the cattail fan on the table and fanned it himself: "By the way, Third Grandpa, do we have any snakes here? Is it a particularly big snake?"

"Snakes? Insects, yes, there are snake nests on the mountain and in the vegetable fields, even under our house!"

Wang Sanye saw that Meng Zhen put the money directly under the tea tray on the wooden table, and he didn't refuse any more. His own money was enough to spend, and the apprentice was buying trees and cleaning up the house, and the orchard was slow to produce results. I guess I don't have much money left.

"There's more under the house, really, is it poisonous? Will it bite?"

The goosebumps on Meng Zhen's arms popped up again. She hadn't seen a single snake since she came here for a long time, but after hearing what the third master said, her family might have it, and she couldn't help feeling chills.

"Hehe, the snakes here are generally non-poisonous, and they are also helpful in exterminating rats. By the way, Zhen Nier, you live on the mountain now, if you encounter snakes, hedgehogs, etc., don't hurt them! "

"Why?" Why is there still something about hedgehogs?
"Here, snakes, hedgehogs, and weasels are all immortals. This weasel has not been seen for many years. There are still a lot of snakes and hedgehogs. Don't dare to kill them for food. Have you ever seen that on the south slope of Yushi Mountain? Seeing her nodding, Mr. Wang, with a cigarette in his mouth, went on to tell her about the strange things in the village: "It turned out that there was a restaurant there. In about [-], there was a owner from the south who leased it." We built a restaurant there. At first we didn’t know what it was for, we only heard that it was a game restaurant. Later, when it opened, we realized that this restaurant only serves some weird dishes, such as snakes, toads, messy things, Originally, when people in the village saw so many snakes brought in by them, they objected to them killing snakes and eating snake meat, but there is no way, everything in the house has legal procedures, and the snakes are also artificially bred."

"Well, if you eat snakes, you will eat them. Later, their waiter caught two hedgehogs behind the restaurant. These hedgehogs are wild, and they were all paste in mud and roasted. When the old people in the village heard about it, they all said I feel that they are going to do (read) to the end, why there are no taboos at all.”

"Sure enough, the second day after they ate the hedgehogs, the glass enclosure in which the snakes were placed suddenly broke, and all the snakes inside disappeared, and a nest of hedgehogs was found in the house..."

Isn't it so weird? !Meng Zhen rubbed her arms, she found that all the old people in the village were good at telling stories, why did they see "wild fire", what happened to "ghost hitting the wall", and now "Hedgehog's Revenge" again? !

"So, both the snake and the hedgehog are spiritual, don't hurt them after seeing them..."

The third master Wang was talking, and Meng Zhen couldn't help agreeing. Although she didn't believe it, she still listened to the old man's advice.This snake, if she doesn't provoke it, and then strengthens the fence, there shouldn't be any danger.

After coming out of Wang Sanye's house, Meng Zhen went back to the house on the mountain.When she came down at noon, she built a nest for Linglong on the wild walnut tree in the yard. She said it was a nest, but it was actually a big basket with some old clothes spread inside. She climbed the ladder and put the basket at the end of the walnut tree. On the thick branch, let Linglong stay in.

I don't know if this little guy is suitable for the new home, but when she went back, she really didn't worry about it. The little monkey was tossing all over the yard, either messing with the chickens or scratching the rabbits, making the chickens run away and the rabbits jump.

It also knows how to bully the good and fear the evil, Lei Ao crouched under the walnut tree, and Linglong didn't dare to disturb it when it got down from the tree.Lei Ao half-closed his eyes, watching it messing around in the yard.

"Linglong, come down for me!"

Seeing it standing on the wooden door of the rabbit's nest, Meng Zhen froze, grabbed it, and rescued the rabbit from its monkey's paws.

The little monkey had just been washed, and now it was covered with a lot of soil and grass clippings, which made Meng Zhen depressed for a while.She opened the wooden door, touched two cucumbers from the manor, broke them into the hare's rice bowl, stroked their scratched long hair, and couldn't help comforting them.

"Zhizhi——" Linglong saw that the rabbit had something to eat, she seemed to be ignored, and kept jumping on the fence outside.

After Meng Zhen comforted the rabbit, he grabbed a handful of prepared bran for the chicken and sprinkled it on the ground. Three or four chickens pecked happily.

"Want to eat peaches?!" After soothing the frightened animals, Meng Zhen took out a huge one and put it in front of Linglong, asking in a very gentle voice.

"Squeak~" Linglong nodded incessantly, her two furry paws danced in the air unceasingly.

"If you want to eat, you can!" Meng Zhen nodded, shook the peach in front of the monkey, and then hid it behind him, "If you want to eat peaches, you must obediently accept training!"

Xiong Xiong rolled his eyes in his heart, how could the master know this trick? He used to treat himself like this, but now he started to train the monkey again.

However, monkeys are not easy to train. After Meng Zhen lost a few peaches, he found that the only improvement was that Linglong would no longer mess around, but it seemed that he still had time to grind to make him as obedient as Xiong Lei Ao.

Meng Zhen wiped the sweat from her forehead, did she really ask her to kill a chicken to scare it?She watched in dismay, Linglong patted PP after eating the peaches, and went straight up the tree, ignoring what Meng Zhen taught it.

Originally I wanted to come back to take a nap. After fighting with the monkey for a long time, I was going to have dinner again in a blink of an eye. Alas, time flows like water.

Meng Zhen led Xiong Xiong down the mountain to go home for dinner, and Lei Ao took care of the house.At the foot of the mountain, she met several little boys from the village, including Meng Xiangshun who had come to her home to pick walnuts.

"Auntie, have you eaten yet?" Xiao Shunzi also saw Meng Zhen and hurried over to say hello.

"Not yet, hehe, what are you doing here?" Meng Zhen took out a handful of dates from his pocket and handed him the leftovers from the monkey.

"Thank you, auntie, let's go dig the cicada monkey!"

Cicada monkey? !Oh, it seems to be the larva of the cicada. Because of its curled appearance, it is called "cicada monkey" by the people here.

"Have you dug it up to add food to the family?" Meng Zhen had eaten it in a restaurant before. It was called fried golden cicada. It was a very expensive dish. There were twenty or so small things, and it usually sold for 40 yuan a plate.

"No, there are people in the village who come to collect it. A cicada monkey can be sold for a dime!"

Sell ​​money?Now the child should not be short of money, right? !
