Chapter 869 Come to the door
I would never touch it when there are normal vegetables to eat.
But things like crabs are different. They are scarce and easy to sell. They are only available for a few months each year, and they are gone after that.
So don’t worry about getting tired of it.
The only thing we haven’t gotten tired of eating at home in recent years is crab. Even matsutake mushrooms are not as popular as before.
……
When Qian Duo saw the group, his mouth stretched to the back of his ears. After greeting them, he smiled at Zhou Guo and said, "Boss, you've come at the right time. The fruits on the mountain can be picked. I was just about to write you a letter to ask you to come pick the fruits."
Zhou Guo looked at the mountains and asked, "You didn't pick any fruit from the mountains?"
Qian Duo laughed, "I can't lie to you. Besides, even if I say I didn't pick any, you won't believe me. I ate several, but I didn't dare to eat more. I saved the extra ones for you. Why didn't Madam come? I have the most fruit seedlings here, and I can pick more fruits, much more than Cheng Ding."
Then he said to the old man, "Sir, the fruits on the mountain are ripe. Would you like to go and have a look?"
He knew what Zhou Guo had said before to the head of Chengding Village, saying that all the fruits on the mountain should be left for the Zhou family to pick. How many trees were there in Chengding?
The old man shook his head, "Only ringo fruits are produced on the mountain?"
Qian Duo said happily, "Yes, we'll see if the others can bear fruit next year. Now the mountain is full of apples, each one is big, red, crisp and juicy, and very delicious!"
The old man wasn't very interested and said, "I'm going to go catch some fish."
Just left.
Qian Duo looked at his back in confusion and asked Zhou Guo, "What's wrong? Weren't you very interested in these fruits before? As soon as you came to the farm, you stared at the fruits before they grew up. Now you don't like them anymore?"
Zhou Guo smiled secretly. Even if you were asked to eat ten a day, you wouldn't like it.
He smiled and said, "If he doesn't go, I will go. I'll go and take a look."
It was true. Qianduo's fruit was actually better than Chengding's. It was big and red, and looked good. It tasted good. He asked curiously, "How did you grow it? It's better than those grown by others for several years."
Qian Duo was very proud, "I planted it that way, I don't know how it turned out, but the fruits on the tree are big, red and delicious."
He is different from Baldy. Baldy doesn't like staying on the farm.
He can do anything and can find fun in doing things he doesn't like.
The fruits from the hills in this village are his pleasure.
On the farm, someone else ferments the fertilizer, someone else plants the rice, and someone else raises the crabs, so he just needs to take care of the fruit trees.
Every day when they get up, they go to the mountain to guard the fruits, afraid that they would be blown away by wind or rain, or bitten by insects or pecked by birds. They watch them like their eyeballs. Every tree is covered with a net and fertilized from time to time. As a result, the fruits grown are better than those grown on other farms.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "That's great. I didn't expect you to grow such good fruit. If the fruits on these hills are all that good, you'll make a lot of money a year. That'll cover the food expenses for the village for a year."
Although all the people on the mountain have come down now, there are still people guarding the village on the mountain. That is their roots. As long as the village is still there, it proves that the brothers of the entire village are still there. They still have a home and a place to return to.
Although Zhou Guo now allocates less money to the village every year, she gives more money to individuals. The remaining excess money is with her, and part is given to Qian Duo and Lai Zi Tou. With three heads managing the money at the same time, no one is unwilling to do so.
Qian Duo said: "The food expenses for the village in a year are not that much, far more than that. Although these can't compare with the money I earned from my trip to the capital, the income is also very high."
As long as he can make money, he is willing to do anything.
Zhou Guo asked: "Lai Zitou is now a escort leader. Do you have the intention to do so?"
Qian Duo smiled and said, "I'm working very hard. If one day I don't like growing fruits anymore, it won't be too late for me to become a escort leader."
Zhou Guo nodded, "Okay, as long as you like it."
You can do well if you like it. It is not easy for a person to do what he likes in his life.
She walked around several hilltops and looked at the pomegranates, oranges, dates and grapes that had been moved here. They were all in good condition, better than Cheng Ding's. It was obvious that Qian Duo really liked growing fruit.
The cherry seedlings here are bigger than those in other villages and better than those left at home.
It seems that within three to five years, we will be able to eat cherries grown at home.
After turning the hill, there are crab ponds and fish ponds. The old man is sitting by the pond fishing.
She walked over to take a look and laughed, "Master, it's been so long and you only caught one fish?"
It was a small crucian carp the size of a palm.
The old man said, "The fish in this pond have become very smart. I guess they caught too many."
Qian Duo immediately said, "Old man, you really have a keen eye. The fish in this pond are really hard to catch. We have been fishing here for years and months, but we can hardly catch any. But you still managed to catch one. You are really amazing."
Zhou Guo looked at the palm-sized crucian carp and said, "Let's release it. This fish is not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth."
The old man glared, "I haven't finished fishing yet, how do you know I can't catch any more?"
Zhou Guo immediately said, "Okay, okay, go ahead and fish. I'll be waiting for your fish for dinner tonight."
Facts have proved that it is still very difficult to catch a smart fish. By dark, the old man only had a small crucian carp in his bucket.
Zhou Guo said with a smile: "Let's eat first, and come back to fish tomorrow. I'll fish with you."
Qian Duo also laughed and said, "Old man, I want to go fishing with you too."
Zhou Guo had a great time.
Little did they know that all the wealthy families in the North were in an uproar.
"Say it again? What was stolen from the Zhou family? Grain seeds?"
"Where did this little thief come from? Why did he steal our grain instead of other things? Oh, this is terrible. If these grain seeds are gone, then wouldn't our crops for next year also be wasted?"
"No, I have to go find Zhou Guo and ask what's going on."
Everyone rushed to Cangshan Village.
Li and others were shocked to see so many people coming to their house, and they thought something had happened.
Zhou Gu came out to receive them and said, "Everyone, Zhou Guo is not at home. If you have anything to say, you can tell me."
A big landlord said, "It's being said that your grain seeds that were harvested this year were stolen. Not a single grain is left. Is that true?"
"What?" Zhou Gu was shocked. "Where did this news come from? How did you know?"
When Zhou Guo left, he didn't say anything, just said he was going out to do some things.
But when I thought about her solemn expression when she went out that day, I seemed to feel that this might be true.
Seeing his reaction, everyone asked in confusion: "You don't know? Does that mean it didn't happen?"
Zhou Gu didn't know how to answer for a moment, and the key point was that Zhou Guo didn't tell him about this.
