Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 113 Sweet Milo

When they landed, it was Zhu Yingying who drove to pick them up.After a brief introduction, the car drove directly to the orange orchard of Haichao Cooperative.Lao Zhu was waiting for them at the gate of Juchang.

Before coming to Changxing Island this time, Wang Yiyuan, Hu Xue, and Zhu Yingying have made it clear that Wang Yiyuan will not participate in the planning, packaging design of the Orange Garden, or any other matters related to Internet promotion. Let Hu Xue and Zhu Yingying meet directly.

He said, I was only responsible for one thing, that is, to drink old wine with Lao Zhu, and the rest was Yiqing Shanshui, and I also brought a few books to read again.According to the popular saying, eat well, drink well, sleep well, and try to be a three-good student.

The same goes for Lao Zhu, but the main reason why he didn't participate was that he didn't know much about these businesses, couldn't get in much, and of course didn't have much right to speak, so he let his daughters handle it by themselves.

This year the oranges mature early, and quite a few of them have already been listed.However, it may be because most units are not on holiday today, so there are not many tourists in the Orange Garden.There are only a few people in twos and threes, or sitting on the cool chairs under the tree to rest, or picking in the orange orchard.

A group of people move separately.Lao Zhu led Wang Yiyuan, boarded a small cement boat, and drove slowly along the river.

On the boat, preparations had been made long ago. There was a small table in the middle, and there were a lot of oranges, boiled local peanuts, and a small bundle of Chongming specialty sweet milo.Of course, Chongming old baijiu is indispensable among them, and there are two milky white wine glasses with porcelain light.

Lao Zhu paddled with his feet, and he kicked it from time to time, the speed was not fast, and he just kept the boat from stopping.

Wang Yiyuan took the old baijiu, opened the bottle cap, filled the glass with wine, and said politely, "Old Zhu, you have to know that in today's society, we can enjoy the leisure and wild fun we have now, while drinking wine. , is really rare.Our style feels a bit extravagant.

Lao Zhu picked up his wine glass and said with a smile, what's so rare about this?Aren't our farmers like this every day?Come, have a drink first.

Wang Yiyuan and Lao Zhu touched each other, drank it down in one gulp, then peeled another peanut and threw it into his mouth, and said comfortably, um, it’s really not too comfortable.Lao Zhu, I see that you are smiling happily. This year's orange harvest must be a big one?
Where and where.Old Zhu took a sip of his wine and said with a smile, this year is a big year for oranges, and the output must be much higher than usual.By the way, there is one more thing, that is your packaging box, which played a big role this time.

Wang Yiyuan said casually, Lao Huang from Chongming has recently added a lot of orders for packaging boxes, saying that the purchasers there have requested more equipment.What about your situation?
Hehe, it may be roughly the same. We have already completed your [-] quantity target.Lao Zhu coughed a few times, and then said after a while, a few days ago, I asked you for another [-] sets. We are preparing for the next [-]th holiday, for the tourists who come here to pick oranges. .

Wang Yiyuan picked up the wine glass and said, Lao Zhu, what's the matter, you still have to pay attention to your body?

It's okay, it's been cool these few nights, maybe I caught a little cold, it's fine.Old Zhu said with a smile.

As long as you are fine, it is already autumn, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, so you still need to take care of your body.Wang Yiyuan went on to say, since both of us have completed the task, let's have another drink and celebrate together.

The two sighed again.Lao Zhu smacked his lips, and said with a smile, hehe, our father and I enjoy drinking.Very good, Xiao Wang, if you have the opportunity to come to our place more often, I will definitely give you good wine to drink.

Lao Zhu seemed very polite, saying that he wanted Wang Yiyuan to taste the sweet miliflower they had grown themselves.Lao Zhu said that according to the solar terms in previous years, this sweet mili should have been off the market long ago. This year, for some reason, there are still many sweet mili that are still juicy.

Wang Yiyuan picked up a joint, moved his lips along the position of the joint, and used his teeth to tear off the outer hard skin one by one.After peeling off the skin, the sweet milo becomes a natural "living drink".Take a bite, chew a few times, it will be crispy, and the sweet juice will fill your mouth, refreshing and quenching your thirst.

Old Zhu said, the weather is still hot during the day, this kind of sweet miliflower is not a good thing for the occasion.

Wang Yiyuan said, this kind of sweet milo is also available in our hometown Hunan.When we were young, we often had something to eat.It's just that the names are different. We call them sugar sticks.

He went on to say that this kind of candy bar is juicy and sweet, the meat is crunchy, and it is convenient to eat. It not only contains carbohydrates, fat, protein and other nutrients, but also has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.There is also a saying in our hometown that children can avoid or reduce "hot boils" when they eclipse sweet miliflower for three days in summer.

Lao Zhu put down his wine glass, brought over an orange, and began to peel it, while listening to Wang Yiyuan's continuation.

Wang Yiyuan recalled that if he walked into the fields of our hometown during the summer vacation, he would see clusters of sugar stalks that looked like sorghum but were much taller than ordinary sorghum, holding high the red Suiying flutters with the wind, which means that the sugar stalks are ripe and ready to be eaten.

He also picked up a few knots of sweet miliflower and said, like this root, the root is green and shiny, which means that the sweet miliflower has more water content. relatively sweet.It would be even more delicious if a red heart grew out of the middle of the sweet mili, which became sweet mili.

Lao Zhu kept silently looking at Wang Yiyuan with an incredulous expression on his face. He even forgot to push the oars and let the boat spin slowly in the water.

Wang Yiyuan picked up the wine glass and said, "Old Zhu, don't believe it. I didn't officially say goodbye to rural life until I started working in my 20s, because I was far away from home."Before that, even when I was in college, I had to go home to do farm work.It can be said that I am also good at all the jobs in the countryside.

The two had another drink.Old Zhu said, I believe what you say.Just now, when I heard that you can name the sweet milia, I believed you.It seems that the two of us are both peasants, no wonder we hit it off so well.

At this time, Zhu Yingying and the others were naturally not idle.Hu Xue and Zhou Wanqiu followed Zhu Yingying. At the beginning, they were full of interest and felt very novel and happy.The two of them grew up in the city, so they were very curious about everything in the Orange Garden.
