[89] The lychees will be picked later, let's get him a honeycomb first
Compared with last year’s lychee harvest, which was dismal, this year’s lychee harvest in Lijia Village can be said to be excessive.
The lychee trees in Lijia Village are all more than ten years old fruit trees, which are very tall old trees. The tallest ones are even more than ten meters high. And such lychee trees, under normal circumstances, are as tall as one tree.
The fruit can weigh one or two hundred pounds.
Due to the abundant production this year, the trees are full of red lychees. According to the villagers, one tree can have at least four to five hundred kilograms of fruit.
As for the lychee trees on the seven or eight hills in Lijia Village, their total output estimate is around 150 tons.
The current retail price of lychees is eight or nine yuan. If all the lychees in the village were sold, they would probably fetch around three hundred thousand yuan.
It's a bit funny to say that the total price of the lychees sold this year due to the abundant production is probably not as high as last year due to the reduced production. Sure enough, the ancient saying that things are scarce makes them more expensive is not a joke.
However, although the price of the lychees was not as high as last year, Li Bu finally took over the job of helping the villagers buy lychees.
Of course, the big reason why Li Bu took on the task of selling lychees was that he no longer wanted to take care of his children at home. He wanted to go out and see the outside world.
It’s finalized, Li Bu will sell the lychees in Lijiacun this year.
Early the next morning, at dawn around four o'clock, Li Bu, Li Aiguo, Li Wanfu, Li Wanda, Li Hong, Zhang Suifeng, as well as the crew who never expected it, the six-thirty crew, and many villagers in the village
We all put on work clothes and began to go up the mountain to pick lychees.
Yi Xinxin and Zhang Xiaofeng are both city dwellers, so when they walked to the lychee tree and looked at the huge lychee tree above their heads, they were dumbfounded; "Brother Li Bu, how do you pick lychees from this lychee tree?
It’s so high, who dares to go up??”
"This lychee tree is indeed too tall. We will be almost old in a few years, and the young people in the village are not as flexible as we used to be when climbing trees.
So after picking the lychees from this tree, we cut it down and use it to make boards and sell them." Hearing Yi Xing's words, Li Aiguo and the other villagers in Lijia Village couldn't help but sigh too, saying that the lychee trees in the village were so beautiful.
Old age has come.
Faced with their sighs, Li Bu did not speak, but was the first to step out and demonstrate.
He first tied a rope to himself, and then climbed to the top of the lychee tree with another long rope.
After arriving at the lychee tree, he first tied the rope around him to the tree to ensure that even if he lost his footing and fell, he would not fall to the ground or injure himself.
After getting the first safety rope, Li Bu used another rope to pull up a basket from below. Then he climbed to the top of the lychee tree and began to break off large strings of lychees and put them into the basket.
go.
After filling the basket with lychees, Li Bu immediately shouted "Okay" below, and then Li Wanfu immediately came down below and began to put the rope down to lower the lychees in the basket.
After watching Li Bu's demonstration, Li Hong, Li Xiaoye, Li Xiaomu, and the other villagers in the village, who were already familiar with this routine, took the ropes and started climbing up the tree.
But I never expected that the crew, as well as the crew members at 6:30, would be responsible for helping to pull the rope under the tree, put the basket up, put the lychees down, etc.
After the lychees were put down, some people from the village carried them down the mountain and placed them at the Lijia Village Committee, where they took the boat. Then Liu Yan, Lin Xiang and the others took the women and children from the village.
Old people, select them all once, tie up the good ones one by one, select the unsightly ones, and then use them to eat yourself or make dried lychees.
But I have to say that picking lychees is really a dangerous job.
Li Hong lost his footing on the tree and fell once. Fortunately, although this guy was not as flexible as Li Bu, he had also learned martial arts. So with the rope and his self-protection, he grabbed another one the moment he fell.
The branch quickly climbed back up the tree, thus escaping the disaster.
Not only did Li Hong, who had not worked much this year and whose health had begun to deteriorate a bit, make mistakes, but also people like Li Xiaomu, Li Xiaoye, and Li Bu whose health had not deteriorated, also made some mistakes.
Li Bu's mistake was to step on a branch that was damaged by insects, and he fell from the tree with the basket, lychees and trunk.
Fortunately, there was a rope tied to his body, which did not let him touch the ground directly. It only gave him and Li Wanfu under the tree a little fright. Nothing happened to the others, they were just hung in the air.
Li Xiaomu's accident was simply due to his meddlesomeness. When he saw Li Bu stepping on a bad branch and falling, he laughed out loud. As a result, he was so happy that he fell down like Li Bu and was danced with his hands and feet like a bastard.
It was hanging in mid-air.
Unlike Li Bu, Li Hong, and Li Xiaomu, Li Xiaoye's mistake might be regarded as a natural disaster.
Because there was a huge honeycomb on top of the lychee tree that this guy went to, and as soon as he got up there, he was buzzed several times. He was so painful that he fell from the tree without even being tied up with a rope.
Fortunately, Li Wanfu happened to be passing by him carrying lychees at that time. When he fell, he joined hands with Li Aiguo and caught him at the cost of two baskets of lychees. This prevented him from falling directly to the ground, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.
It is really unimaginable.
After being caught by Li Wanfu and Li Aiguo, Li Xiaoye, who was in shock, immediately pointed to the bee nest on the tree and said, "Uncle Wanfu, Uncle Aiguo, there is a queen bee's nest up there. I was pricked a few times, and now my head is like a bee."
It feels like a hammer has hit me. It hurts me so much. Please help me find a solution quickly. I can't stand it anymore..."
"Let me go, it's really a honeycomb, Ai Guo, your lychee tree is as big as a honeycomb, and you didn't even know it?"
And Xiao Bu, hurry up and find some wild taro leaves, crush them and use the juice inside to disinfect the leaves, and then send him to the health station for an injection.
Otherwise, wait a minute, he will be like Li Zhiyou last time, being booked by a bee without telling him, and then turning into a big pig." After hearing Li Xiaoye's words, Li Wanfu first blamed Li Aiguo, and then quickly asked Li Bu
I went to find wild taro leaves to treat Li Xiaoye.
There was a wild taro around the orchard. After hearing what Li Wanfu said, Li Bu ran over and pulled out one without saying a word. Then he used a stone to smash the stem of the wild taro and squeeze out the juice.
, smear it on the area where Li Xiaoye was stung by a bee, and then use something to help him take out the bee sting inside.
After that, although Li Xiaoye got much better and no longer felt any pain, for safety reasons, Li Bu still acted like a good brother and directly carried him to the health station in the village, asking the two nurses to
Li Xiaoye was given an injection, an injection specially designed to deal with bee stings.
Then Li Xiaoye was fine except that his head was still a little big. However, he was so angry that he refused to give up. He immediately joined Li Bu and the others. He even stopped picking lychees and picked up four or five handfuls of straw and some miscellaneous things.
We must go under the lychee tree, clamor to bring down the honeycomb, and drink wine.
