Chapter 492: Fruitful

"I didn't really care much about the orchard during this time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You wait a minute, I'll call and ask." ”

Xia Ruofei just went to the water tower every other month to add some Lingxin flower petal solution, and he was responsible for the specific care of the orchard to Cao Tieshu, so he didn't know whether the lychees and cherries in the orchard were ripe or not.

But Cao Tieshu must know.

So Xia Ruofei directly took out his mobile phone, found Cao Tieshu's phone and dialed it.

"Boss!" Cao Tieshu quickly answered the phone.

Xia Ruofei asked, "Lao Cao, how is the situation of the fruit trees on our farm?

Cao Tieshu hurriedly said: "Boss, you haven't been on the farm for the past few days, and I'm about to report to you! The cherries and lychees are ripe, and it's best to pick them in the next few days." ”

"Really?" Xia Ruofei was slightly surprised, "I remember that our variety of lychee should be ripe around July, right?"

Xia Ruofei introduced late-ripening cherries, which ripen in early June, while lychees will be later.

Cao Tieshu said: "We are also strange! This year's lychees grow very well, and the fruit hangs earlier than normal, and it is much larger than ordinary lychees!"

Xia Ruofei guessed the approximate reason after a little thought: lychees originally grew in the southeast area, and they are the most suitable for the water and soil here, and with the promotion of the Lingxin Flower petal solution, it is not surprising that it matures a month earlier than normal.

The cherry is introduced from the north, and it must be a little unsuitable for the climate and environment of the south, but under the moisture of the petal solution of the Lingxin flower, the favorable conditions and unfavorable conditions are basically canceled out, so they are also ripe as scheduled.

Presumably, by next year, the cherries will ripen even earlier, because these cherry trees must be more and more adapted to the environment in the south after a year of growth.

Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "It's not strange, the lychee seedlings I bought are improved varieties! Now that the fruit trees are ripe, let's go to the orchard to have a look." ”

"Okay, I'll go over now!" Cao Tieshu said.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruofei said to Lin Qiao with a smile: "Qiao'er, you are lucky, the fruits here are ripe." ”

"Yay!" Lin Qiao cheered, "Let's go!"

Xia Ruofei said to Huzi's mother again: "Auntie, let's go over and have a look?"

Huzi's mother smiled and said, "I won't go and join in the fun! You young people go! I'll prepare lunch for you!"

Xia Ruofei was not reluctant when he heard this, and said, "That's okay, then it's hard aunt...... The ingredients are all in the refrigerator, tell me if you see what you are missing, and I'll go to the county supermarket to buy it!"

"It's okay, it's okay, you guys go!" said Huzi's mother with a smile.

Xia Ruofei took Lin Qiao out and drove a pickup truck straight to the orchard.

On the way, Xia Ruofei thought about it, hung up the phone to Feng Jing again, and asked her to go to the orchard to have a look.

Soon the pickup truck drove along the smooth cement road of the farm to the orchard, and Cao Tieshu and Feng Jing both came on foot, so they hadn't arrived yet.

Xia Ruofei and Lin Qiao got out of the car and walked up the mountain.

Along the way, I saw that the fruit trees on both sides were full of fruits, and this side was full of lychee trees, only to see a string of heavy lychees pressing the branches of the fruit trees to bend down, these red lychees were embellished with green leaves, which looked extraordinarily delicate and made people salivate.

Lin Qiao couldn't help but have a light in his eyes when he saw it, and couldn't help but want to go over and pick it.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Little gluttonous cat, don't worry! I'll talk about it when Lao Cao and them come." We don't have any tools in our hands, so can you use your hands?"

Lin Qiao stuck out his tongue a little embarrassed.

The two wandered in the mountains for a while, admiring the fruitful scenery in the orchard, and soon Cao Tieshu and Feng Jing also arrived.

The careful Cao Tieshu also brought a basket and large scissors for picking lychees.

"Chairman, I haven't been to the orchard for a few days, but I didn't expect that the lychees are all ripe!" Feng Jing said with a smile.

Xia Ruofei responded with a smile: "It's not just lychees!

Then Xia Ruofei said: "Lao Cao has brought all the tools, then let's try the lychees produced on this farm!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Lin Qiao hurriedly said.

Feng Jing set her eyes on Lin Qiao, then looked at Xia Ruofei and asked, "Chairman, this is ......?"

"Oh! I forgot to introduce to you, this is my sister Lin Qiao, who just took the college entrance examination, isn't this ...... Come and stay on our farm for a while. Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Qiao'er, this is Feng Jing, the general manager of our Taoyuan Company!"

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Sister Feng Jing is good!"

Feng Jing also showed a gentle smile and said, "Hello! Sister Lin Qiao is so beautiful! It seems that the genes of our chairman's family are really good!"

"Sister Feng Jing, you are beautiful!" Lin Qiao said with a smile, "But you guessed wrong! I am not related to Brother Ruofei, so I can't match their family's genes!"

Xia Ruofei explained on the side: "Qiao'er is one of my comrades-in-arms and the sister of my brother in life and death, although we are not related by blood, but in my heart she is the same as my own sister. ”

A hint of loss flashed in Lin Qiao's eyes, but it was fleeting.

Feng Jing saw it in her eyes, she glanced at Xia Ruofei thoughtfully and with a smile, but she didn't say anything.

Lin Qiao couldn't wait to pick lychees, Cao Tieshu hurriedly said, "I have to wait!"

After speaking, Cao Tieshu brought a ladder and set it up on a lychee tree next to it, and then used scissors to cut some leaves and pad them at the bottom of the basket.

Then he came down, handed the scissors to Lin Qiao, and said: "This lychee is expensive, you have to put something in the basket, otherwise it will easily rot after rubbing and being injured." ”

Lin Qiao took the scissors and quickly climbed up the ladder.

Xia Ruofei hurriedly went over to help with the ladder and said, "Qiao'er, slow down, don't fall!"

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "It's okay!"

The trees were full of bunches of ripe red lychees, and Lin Qiao quickly grabbed one of them and cut it with scissors.

"Brother Ruofei, hurry up!" Lin Qiao said.

Xia Ruofei stretched out his hand to take the heavy string of lychees and put them into the basket at his feet.

Lin Qiao's picking speed is very fast, because you can get lychees from this tree.

The fruit-bearing rate of this lychee is also ridiculously high, almost twice as high as that of ordinary lychee trees.

This yield made Cao Tieshu secretly surprised, but he still had a trace of worry in his heart.

He has lived in the village for decades, and knows very well that the water and soil in this mountainous area are not very good, and he heard that the pH of the soil is a bit problematic, and some people have contracted to plant fruit trees in the past, but the fruits are all sour and astringent, and they cannot be swallowed at all.

These lychees, as well as the cherry trees on the other side of the mountain, bear big and red fruits, and they look very good, but what the specific taste is, Cao Tieshu has no bottom in his heart.

He was worried that these were embroidered pillows, which looked bright on the outside, but actually tasted very bad.

Then this mountain full of fruit trees, the early investment will be wasted.

Lin Qiao didn't think about it so much, she was happily picking lychees with scissors.

Soon, the small baskets brought by Cao Tieshu were full, and the lychees on this lychee tree seemed to be basically the same.

Xia Ruofei raised his head and shouted, "Qiao'er, it's almost there, I can't fit it anymore!"

Lin Qiao came down from the tree with a lingering mind.

This basket of lychees is red and red, and it also exudes a natural fruity fragrance, which makes people have an appetite when they look at it.

Xia Ruofei greeted Cao Tieshu and Feng Jing with a smile and said, "Let's all try it!

Xia Ruofei said as he picked the lychee and handed it to everyone.

Cao Tieshu took the lychee, and with some trepidation, he peeled off the skin, revealing the rich, round, white and flawless flesh, and at the same time, the fruity aroma suddenly became more intense, he sniffed, gritted his teeth and put the lychee into his mouth.

With a gentle bite, a stream of sweet juice suddenly filled the entire mouth, and the fragrant soft, sweet and delicious taste suddenly shocked Cao Tieshu's spirit, and he couldn't help but chew it a few times before spitting out a very small kernel.

After eating this one, Cao Tieshu couldn't help but peel off the outer skin of the second lychee.

Here, Feng Jing and Lin Qiao had also tasted the lychees they had just picked, and their eyes lit up.

"It's so delicious! It's fragrant and sweet! And it's so juicy......" Lin Qiao said slurred as he gulped.

Feng Jing couldn't help but admire: "Chairman, the quality of this lychee is so high! I think it tastes much better than the lychees sold in those boutique fruit supermarkets!"

Cao Tieshu also said very excitedly: "Boss, this lychee is so delicious! I have never eaten such a delicious lychee!"

As a native of Southeast Province, Cao Tieshu naturally ate lychees in the past, but this time the lychees produced in the orchard of Taoyuan Farm gave him a completely different feeling, the natural and fresh fruity aroma, which made him feel relaxed and happy.

Here, Lin Qiao kept eating lychees, and he couldn't stop.

Seeing this, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but say, "Qiao'er, eat less! This thing can be hot! You're not afraid of acne?"

Lin Qiao gobbled up and said: "I also admit that I have acne, only the food can't live up to ......."

Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "There will be cherries in a while! Don't you keep a little belly?"

Lin Qiao paused, retracted the hand that was stretched out to the lychee, and said, "That makes sense! Brother Ruofei, let's go pick cherries!"

"Let's go, let's see how the cherries look!" Xia Rufei said with a smile.

The group then walked along the path of the orchard towards the other side of the mountain, where they were lined with fruitful lychee trees, red lychees and green leaves.

Cao Tieshu carried the ladder, while Xia Ruofei carried the small basket himself.

There is also a small half basket of lychees in the basket, but Xia Ruofei looks light and quite relaxed when carrying it with one hand.

Soon everyone was in the cherry orchard.

"It's so beautiful!" Lin Qiao couldn't help but admire.

What catches your eye is the cherry trees that are covered with purple-red cherries.

The previous lychee had a rough skin with tiny lumpy lobes, like the back carapace of a turtle, so the visual effect was not as shocking as that of cherries.

The cherries here are crystal clear, like rubies dotted in the green sea.

And the cherry fruits here are very large, much larger than ordinary cherries, almost the size of a ping-pong ball.

The fruitful fruit hangs on the tree, hanging down heavily, full of visual impact.

Having tasted the best lychees before, Cao Tieshu now had confidence in these cherries, and he trotted over to set up a ladder on the trunk of a cherry tree.

In fact, these cherries hang low and can be picked up even when standing on the ground, but they are obviously easier to pick with a ladder.

Lin Qiao didn't need to say hello, and immediately climbed the ladder with big scissors.

Cherries are not like lychees are a large bunch, and you can usually pick two or three grains with a pair of scissors, but Lin Qiao's speed is very fast, and the cherries on the tree are all ripe and purple-red, and there is basically no need to choose, so soon the small basket is full again.

Of course, the bottom half is lychee, and there is about half a basket of cherries.

Xia Ruofei called Lin Qiao down, then took those cherries to the faucet on the side of the road, rinsed them and invited everyone to taste them.

Xia Ruofei himself picked up a big cherry and put it in his mouth.

The bright red and delicate pulp juice is very sufficient, Xia Ruofei took a light bite, the sweet juice immediately filled the mouth, the cherries of this variety are moderately soft and hard, and the Lingxin flower petal solution in the irrigation water is absorbed all year round, so that the cherry is full of rich fruity aroma, the taste is very delicate, and there is a fresh taste, which makes people want to eat it again.

Even Xia Ruofei couldn't help but eat several in a row.

Lin Qiao and Feng Jing couldn't help but eat four or five in a row, as if they had eaten Xuanmai, and they couldn't stop.

Cao Tieshu also ate with relish, but he couldn't let go of it in front of the boss, and after eating a few pieces, he was embarrassed to take it again.

"It's delicious!" Lin Qiao said, "Brother Ruofei, this cherry is so sweet!

"The fruity aroma is very strong!" Feng Jing couldn't help but admire, "The taste is also very special, sweet and delicious! It's much better than American cherries and Japanese red hydrangeas!"

Xia Ruofei asked with a smile: "What do you think of this batch of fruits from our orchard?"

"Then you still need to say, one word: awesome!" Lin Qiao gave a thumbs up.

Cao Tieshu also said: "Boss, I have always been worried that the water and soil in this orchard are not good, and the fruits grown are not edible! I didn't expect these cherries and lychees to be so delicious, it is really unexpected!"

Feng Jing also smiled and said: "It is in line with our company's line - as always, only high-quality products are produced!"

"Okay! Then the next thing we have to do is to sell these high-quality fruits at the price they deserve!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I'll divide the work below!"
