Chapter 69 The taste of old longan

Lin Tian did the math and found that he now owns a lot of land, and most of the crops on the land have been harvested and sold.

Next, he needs to reasonably plan inputs and outputs, as well as arrange the production cycle of vegetable and fruit types.

During the following period, we mainly grew leafy vegetables.

Vegetables have a relatively short production cycle and a relatively large demand, making them the fastest way to earn money.

In the remaining land, crops with longer growth cycles are planted, such as peanuts, rice, colored peppers, etc.

Lintian asked Wang Cuijuan to buy seeds when she went to the market to buy them.

Since getting a new bicycle, Wang Cuijuan goes to the market by bicycle every time. She wears a helmet so she is not afraid of the wind. The power-assisted mode saves her effort and worry.

She now enjoys going to the market. She used to be a little hesitant when she thought about going to the market. She often felt uncomfortable after going to the market and had to stay in bed for a long time. She also felt uncomfortable after walking for too long.

Lin Guoming got a big basket for the rear rack of her new bicycle, which can hold a lot of things.

My family mainly buys some meat, fruits and vegetables, and there are a lot of them in the yard and fields.

Ever since I ate my own fruits and vegetables, Wang Cuijuan didn't like the ones sold in the market outside. The appearance and taste were far different.

Buy the seeds and start planting them in the ground.

Lin Tian originally wanted to hire someone to do the work, but found that his workload was not very large. With his speed and strength, he could finish it alone.

When the demand is high in the future, you can spend money to hire help.

Let mother do whatever she wants with the vegetables in the yard. Anyway, no matter what she grows, the forest and fields can be improved with spiritual energy.

After working in the fields all afternoon and visiting the fish pond, Lin Tian returned home and saw Lin Xiaoguo standing under the longan tree, chewing something.

"Rustling..."

Lin Tian took a closer look and found that Xiaobao was pulling the branches and leaves of the longan tree on the tree, causing the longan on the branches to fall.

When the longan fell to the ground, Lin Xiaoguo picked it up, wiped it, peeled off the shell with difficulty, pressed the longan with four fingers, and gnawed the thin layer of longan meat on it with his teeth.

Lin Tian didn't say anything, he wanted to see what Lin Xiaoguo was up to.

Lin Xiaoguo smashed her tongue, frowned, and shouted to Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, Xiaobao, don't do it again, the longan is not ripe yet, the taste is so bland and not delicious."

Xiaobao seemed to understand what she said, and he let out a "meow" and stopped pulling.

"It wasn't cooked yesterday and it's not cooked today. When will it be cooked?"

Lin Xiaoguo murmured quietly, with a look of reluctance on his face.

Seeing the cooperation between a man and a cat, Lin Tian felt a little funny.

He cleared his throat and said something abruptly.

"Lin Xiaoguo, you are a snack foodie, what do you want to do?"

Lin Xiaoguo shuddered, hid the longan behind his back alertly, and looked at Lin Tian with an embarrassed smile.

"Brother, I didn't do anything wrong. I'm very good."

"Oh, really? What are you hiding in your hand? Let me see?"

Lin Xiaoguo saw that he couldn't fool Lin Tian, ​​so he obediently stretched out his hand and said pitifully: "Brother, I just want to see if the longan is ripe."

Lin Tian gently tapped Lin Xiaoguo's forehead with his finger.

"You, you! There are so many things to eat at home, including pumpkin seeds, peanuts, and rice. It's not enough for you. You're also greedy for raw longan. I'm afraid longan doesn't ripen that quickly. I estimate it will take another ten days and a half.

"

"Huh? It will still take ten days and a half month?"

Lin Xiaoguo sighed like an adult and said melancholy: "I just want to eat longan before going to school. It's just a small wish. Why is it so difficult to realize it?"

Lin Tian was amused by her worried look.

"As long as you do your homework well, the longan will be cooked quickly."

The longan tree in the yard has a history of several decades at least.

I heard that Lin Tian’s grandfather planted it when he was young. The branches of this longan tree are very thick, tall and lush, almost covering most of the sky in the yard. In summer, Lin Tian’s family relies on it to provide shade.

This longan tree bears fruit every year and produces a lot of fruit, but one drawback is that the variety is too old.

Unlike the longans sold on the market today, the fruit grown from this longan tree has less flesh and a larger core. When eating, you can only grab the whole fruit with your hands, and use your teeth and tongue to slowly nibble off the longan.

Meat.

When eating longan, you need to be patient. After a while, you will feel your tongue numb and your fingers stiff.

The taste of longan is bland and not delicious. However, the Lin Tian brothers and sisters love to eat it.

In the past, they didn't have anything delicious at home, so they would just eat this as a snack when they were craving for food. It was a lot of fun.

Lin Tian kept this in mind.

At night, when he went out to urinate, while his family was sleeping, he brought the longan tree into the bead space with a thought.

It didn't take long for him to take the longan tree out of the bead space.

Under the illumination of the white moonlight, Lin Tian saw that the fruit on the longan tree had become much larger. When he got closer and smelled it, he could smell the fragrance emanating from it.

Lin Tian stood up on tiptoes, picked one from a low branch, peeled the shell and put it in his mouth.

The peeled meat kernels are crystal clear and seem to glow.

After chewing it, his brows stretched.

The taste of longan now is completely different from the taste Lin Tian remembered.

Juicy and sweet.

The refreshing sweetness instantly filled the entire mouth, making Lintian's somewhat sleepy and heavy eyelids become as light as a feather and energetic.

Lin Tian spit out the core and found that the core had become very small and the meat had become much thicker.

Although his appetite was satisfied, Lin Tian frowned.

"The improvement of spiritual energy seems to have changed the variety. It is no longer the same old taste."

Lin Tian felt a little melancholy. Every time he ate longan, he couldn't help but think of the person who planted the tree, that was his deceased grandfather.

Now that old taste is gone, and it seems that the memory left to him by his grandfather is also a little thinner.

Sighing, Lin Tian looked at the more lush longan trees in front of him and smiled to himself.

As long as the tree is there, the memory of grandpa will still be there. Grandpa will not be forgotten just because the fruit of the longan tree has become delicious and lost its old taste.

Early the next morning, when Lin Tian was about to wake up from his sleep, he heard his mother's exclamation coming from downstairs.

"Dragon eyes...are the dragon eyes ripe?"

Not long after her voice fell, Lin Xiaoguo's impatient voice came.

"Mom, are the longan really ripe?"

"Yes, you can eat it. Come and eat the little fruit. It's delicious. This year's longan is particularly delicious. It tastes different from the past."

"Let me give it a try!"

Lin Xiaoguo smacked her mouth.

"Uh-huh, it's so delicious! It's great, my dream has come true! I want to eat more!"

Wang Cuijuan smiled and said, "I'm going to the market now. When your brother wakes up later, I'll ask him to pick it for you."
