Chapter 646: Fighting chestnuts

On the morning of the first day, Wu Li, who finally had a good sleep, was having a sweet dream of hugging each other when he was woken up by the sound in the yard.

It was already slightly cool in the mid-autumn night and there was dew in the morning, so Wu Li had already moved to his room to sleep.

When he yawned and stretched out of the hall and took a look into the yard, he couldn't help but feel happy. The noise-making machine turned out to be the golden-haired monkey and Lao Heng!

The bright yellow orange peel at Lao Heng's feet should be the culprit, the source of the noise. After the oranges were ripe, the golden-haired monkey had already regarded the two orange trees as its private ration!

If this guy who doesn't have a good relationship with him wants to pick an orange to satisfy his craving, then just wait until his head is smashed and the little golden-haired monkey jumps around and shakes the tree and yells.

Obviously, this guy Lao Heng is obviously not popular with the golden-haired monkey, so if he dares to pick oranges to eat without the little monkey's permission, no wonder he will be smashed with oranges all over his face and beard.

Where's the juice?

"Boss, why do you keep such a violent monkey in the yard? If a guest comes over and wants to pick an orange for a taste, he or she will be smashed with orange juice all over his face like me." Lao Heng saw Wu Li.

As soon as he came out of the yard, he immediately ducked behind Wu Li to prevent harassment.

"If the guests are polite, we will naturally pick them for them to try. If the guests are like you and just pick oranges without asking the host's opinion and eat them, then they deserve to be smashed. You guys are fine and don't get old.

I'm thinking about the delicious food, so I'll clean up the yard quickly, and I'll wait until I'm full of oranges."

As the old saying goes, hit a stick and give a sweet date. This is how a stubborn guy like Lao Heng can be subdued.

Look, that guy splashed water in the yard and waved the bamboo broom with great vigor.

Wu Li was happy as he brushed his teeth. With Lao Heng as his brute force, he would have a lot of time to leisurely lie under the grape trellis and read novels.



"Uncle, our Mid-Autumn Festival chestnuts have cracked a lot. Let's go beat them together today. Otherwise, all the chestnuts will be fed to the Mountain Rat family." Sister-in-law of the Wu family has not entered the yard yet.

Well, the sound like a loudspeaker was so penetrating that it shocked the old man who was cleaning the yard.

"Brother, how can you let the guests clean the yard?" As soon as the Wu family's sister-in-law entered the yard, she found that Wu Li was ordering the guests again. Sister Xiao Lin has now become Wu Li's full-time cook.

This old dwarf couldn't have been raised by Nannan and her uncle for many years as someone from the old society!

"Good morning, boss, brother and sister-in-law! The boss takes care of me eating well and sleeping soundly. It's a small job to do some small work and a little effort. I think this is what Lao Heng should do." Lao Heng said that he was

It's better to be single-minded, but it's better to have immature IQ development.

"Look, what a good old boy. His uncle should not bully this honest boy in the future. It is not easy for this boy to grow up to be so old!" The eldest sister-in-law of the Wu family looked serious.

Wu Li spat out the wash water.

No matter how stubborn Lao Heng is, he can still tell that the Wu family's sister-in-law is saying that her IQ is immature!

Lao Heng was blushing and had a thick neck. He wanted to retort that my body development was just in the wrong direction and there was absolutely no problem with my IQ. But when I turned around and thought about it, if I said that I was not mentally retarded, then it would make me look very mentally retarded.

Well.

"Lao Heng, hurry up and clean the yard. After breakfast, let's beat chestnuts. In the evening, we will have chestnuts and stewed chicken." If you want Lao Heng to work hard, you must lure him with delicious food! And the Wu family's little boy

The most indispensable thing in the hospital is delicious food, so Lao Heng is full of motivation, and Wu Li is not afraid at all that this guy will cheat on him.



I heard that they were going to beat chestnuts this morning, and all the residents of the Wu Family Courtyard were immediately mobilized. Everyone was equipped with a straw hat, long trousers, and sports shoes. Some girls also put on a pair of gloves on their hands.

Wu Li's family has several chestnut trees. One is on the mountain in Wu Li's backyard, and the other is on the way to Daqing Mountain. Both of these are normally ripe mountain chestnuts, which will take about a month to mature.

There is also a patch of more than a dozen chestnut trees on the camellia mountain of Wu Shan's family. These are early-maturing chestnuts.

These chestnuts will probably crack around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the chestnuts will change from blue-white to brown, so the villagers call these chestnuts Mid-Autumn chestnuts. Wu Li and Wu Shan's houses were divided, the mountains were divided, and the fields were divided.

The chestnut tree was divided, but the chestnut tree was not divided into which pieces belonged to which family. Instead, after the chestnuts were knocked down, one family was divided into half, so no one suffered any loss.

When Wu Li had nothing to do in previous winters, he liked to fry chestnuts as a snack. Then he would fry most of them and take them to his sister-in-law's house.

However, the chestnuts that the two families receive every year are a bit too much. There are at least dozens of large chestnut trees in the three chestnut forests. After they are all harvested, each family will peel out one piece of chestnuts every year. Each family has thousands of catties.

appearance.

If chestnuts were available in those days, a family would be able to share two thousand kilograms of mountain chestnuts. In addition to keeping some for themselves and doing some favors, the Wu brothers have earned tens of thousands of yuan a year just from selling mountain chestnuts in recent years.

In the past few years, because the price of chestnuts had soared, Wu Li and Wu Shan planted many chestnut trees everywhere. Some of the chestnut trees planted early had already begun to bloom with white flowers and green thorns last year and this year.

Chestnut.

"We're here. The chestnut trees in front of us all belong to our family. If you want to eat fresh chestnuts, you can pick them yourself and eat them by stepping on them. You can also go to the ground to pick up old chestnuts and eat them." Wu Li carried a large load.

Luo Jian pointed to the chestnut forest in the camellia mountain in front and said to the delicate beauties Yu Xiaobei and Wen Jing.

These girls are just here to join in the fun. It's okay to eat chestnuts, but it's unrealistic to expect them to work.

"Brother-in-law, this chestnut tree is too big for just one tree. How many chestnuts can be knocked down from this chestnut tree?" Yu Xiaobei stood under an old chestnut tree. The trunk of this tree had at least as many as hers.

It took three people to hug him. It looked like the chestnut tree was really old.

This chestnut tree has grown old, but its branches are still lush and leafy, and the crown of the tree is covered with yellow chestnut thorn shells!

There are so many chestnuts on this tree. If we knock them all down, how many loads of chestnuts will it take?

This is just one big chestnut tree. There are at least a dozen big chestnut trees of similar size in this forest. What's more, there are many small chestnut trees around this big chestnut forest that also bear a lot of chestnuts.

"In previous years, one tree would only bear a few loads, and a few dozen kilograms of chestnuts would be very good. But looking at the situation this year, it is a bumper harvest. Maybe one tree can yield a hundred kilograms."

Maybe." Wu Li estimated that the chestnut tree that had been watered with space water not only matured a few days earlier than in previous years, but the chestnut thorn shell seemed to be much larger than in previous years.

Maybe the chestnut kernels are one or two times larger than in previous years. This year, the number of chestnuts cannot be increased due to late watering. I'm afraid the weight will still increase a lot.

After visual inspection, it is conservatively estimated that it should not be a problem for an old tree to trample hundreds of kilograms of chestnuts.

"A tree weighs a hundred pounds, and these dozen big chestnut trees weigh more than a thousand pounds! A pound of mountain chestnuts currently costs fifteen to twenty yuan in the market. Boss, just these dozen chestnut trees in your house can be sold for small prices."

Twenty thousand yuan or ten thousand yuan! For twenty thousand yuan, you can buy 40,000 steamed buns. How many years will it take to eat all these steamed buns?"

This guy Lao Heng is really a living treasure!

"As a big eater like you, you can eat 40,000 steamed buns in a year, which is more than enough! Lao Heng, can you climb a tree? If you can climb a tree, just pick one and hit it hard. Hit the chestnut tree.

If it is damaged, it will produce more fruit-bearing branches and produce more chestnuts next year."

It would take the two brothers Wu Li, Brother Mute, and Wu Yong Monkey a good half of a day to knock down three old trees. If we want to knock out all the early chestnut trees today, we will have to add a few more people.

"Boss, I got tree dizzy! When I was a kid, I almost fell to my death when I climbed a tree. Now I feel dizzy just thinking about climbing a tree. So, boss, please don't make things difficult for me!"

Lao Heng's silly words really gave everyone a hard time!

I don’t know how many bright spots of Coca-Cola there are in this stubborn old dwarf in his twenties!

"I'll go! Tree dizziness? What a powerful excuse! If you get dizzy when climbing a tree, go and knock down all the chestnuts from those small chestnut trees! Those trees are short enough, and if you have a long bamboo pole, you can knock out those chestnuts.

! Remember, you have to hit hard. The more severe the beating, the better the effect will be."

Lao Heng swept around the small chestnut trees, and the old man's face immediately collapsed, like a face with a beard and a bitter melon. There must be eighty small chestnut trees if not a hundred. I can fight them all by myself, as long as I have the strength to fight them.

Even if you are awesome, you will be exhausted, okay?

...

"These fresh chestnuts are crispy and sweet, so delicious!" Yu Xiaobei, wearing a small straw hat, bent down and used a dead branch to dig through the sparse grass a few times, and then she could find several shelled chestnuts.

.

I picked up one and rubbed it for a few times, then popped it into my mouth and took a bite. Then I took it out, peeled out the yellow chestnut kernel, and stuffed it into my mouth. It was not clean, so I didn’t get sick after eating it.

!

This country slang is highly praised by Yu Xiaobei.

"If you like it, eat more of it. No matter how much chestnuts you eat, there won't be any adverse effects." Sister-in-law of the Wu family said that it is not okay to eat too much of anything.

"Let's burn chestnuts and eat them!" Hu Mei, a beautiful girl, had the experience of burning chestnuts from Yeshan Mountain when she went out for a picnic with others. Now that she saw the chestnuts, leaves and dead branches, she suddenly remembered them.

Here comes the scene of taking chestnuts from the fire.

There is another chapter in the evening. The old farmer rolls around and begs for some flowers. (To be continued)
