Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 153
As soon as such a happy event was mentioned, everyone was naturally happy. In the joy, there was a little excitement and gearing up, as if they saw the appearance of the bridge.

There are also people who are worried, "We have so many peaches, and we can't bear to keep them anymore. I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand the bumps."

"What are you afraid of? They have plenty of money, so they still care about our idea. They use their own methods, so why worry about it." "That's right, who knows what they use it for?"

Jingzhe came to his senses as if he had been reminded, and even asked Chen Yongyu, "Uncle Chen, although we don't know what they use for it, we just have to make sure that the peaches are good, otherwise even if they bought a bunch of I won’t come back next time. If we ruin our reputation in our own village, we won’t be able to sell peaches this year and next year. If our reputation is bad, it won’t be able to recover in ten years.”

There are also those who are tired of selling peaches around, "This is probably a one-off sale, so there is no need to discuss so much. Anyway, we have built the bridge, and we will talk about it later. Even if we can't sell it, we can't eat it ourselves."

Such unreasonable words were denied by others as soon as they were uttered, "That can't be said, our Zhuangzi is so ugly when it gets out. In the future, even a girl will look down on her husband's family."

"It's not that you are full. It's better if someone buys it than no one buys it. Not to mention anything else, each household gets some. It's good to let the children eat two more meals of meat. There is no reason why it is not important. "

Other people also talked one after another, and the person who said it was okay before bowed his head and said nothing.

Chen Yongyu didn't say anything directly, and went to the forest with Jing Zhe.

There is a large peach grove, and the places we pass have already been picked, and some are greener and hang on the branches, while the other ones are the whole piece that has not been picked, and they are already ripe and ready to fall. .

Jing Zhe shook his head while watching, Chen Yongyu was also a little worried, "Jing Zhe, Uncle won't hide it from you, you have also seen that this year has been raining a lot, and it is not easy to keep these peaches, you have to pick them too, if the boss needs to pull Let’s go, I guess a lot of peaches will rot, which is not good. It’s just that this opportunity is rare, let’s see if we can think of a way to get the best of both worlds, keeping the peaches and making a sale.”

After looking at it, Jing Zhe picked some well-ripe ones, not-so-ripe ones, and some just-ripe ones, took them back and put them there to watch, but didn't think of a good way for a while.

An Jinxuan went out and hadn't come back yet, Gu Yu saw Jingzhe staring at the peaches in a daze, even after the summer solstice passed, he just smiled lightly and continued to think about his own affairs.

Gu Yu shook his head, went over and sat down beside him, "Brother, are peaches really so hard to sell? Didn't you say someone wants them? Why are you so worried?"

Jing Zhe sighed, "That person paid a lot of deposits, but we also wanted to prevent the peaches from going wrong, and Uncle Chen also said that these peaches are not easy to keep after such a long rain, this time we are in a dilemma Living."

Gu Yu nodded knowingly, "So you picked peaches of various colors to come back and study?"

This was heard by Xu Qinshi who was passing by, and he laughed loudly, "What does peach represent or not, Gu Yu will talk nonsense." After finishing speaking, he still went to work on his own.

Jing Zhe nodded, "When I went to see it, I found that the peach groves on this side of the river were all picked except for some too green ones, but the whole ones were left over there. You can't go away like these overripe peach groves. It’s a long way, otherwise we will not be disappointed if the old board loses money if it is rotten. Besides, if this peach is rotten, it will also affect other peaches, hey..."

This is the truth, Gu Yu also knows the rules in Zhuangzi, in order to prevent the whole area from getting in too messy, it is usually picked one by one, but this year's situation is special, the picking method is still the same as in the past, I'm afraid it's not good.Gu Yu thought that in modern times, many things were categorized very finely, but it was not good for Zhuangzili to pick the past regardless of classification.Such Gu Yu had an idea, just as Chen Yongyu came in, Gu Yu pulled him over and said, "Uncle Chen, brother, I have an idea, I don't know if it will work."

From picking peaches at the beginning and paying wages according to the number of baskets to later developing threshers, Chen Yongyu knew that Gu Yu had a lot of evil ideas. She must have some confidence when she said this now, and she was of course happy, "Hurry up." explain."

Gu Yu then said: "It's better not to let everyone pick peaches like this, anyway, there is not much work in the village now, we can separate, and this will almost solve the problem."

Jing Zhe stared straight at Gu Yu, seeming to understand, "Do you want to pick them separately?"

Gu Yu nodded, "Yes, it's okay for men, women and children to come out, and it doesn't matter. If everyone is afraid of not being able to distinguish the individual ones, let the children pick the ones that are ready. Aunts and aunts are careful, and pick the ones that are ripe. , and then slowly put them away by category, so that they are still picked one by one, but the fruits are not put together, and the ripe ones are carried on the burden and sold in a nearby farm. I am afraid it is okay, and the rest Brother sent a batch to the old board, if he thinks it’s okay, we can do it in the future, if not, we can think of another way.”

Chen Yongyu nodded, "I'm afraid I can only try this."

Gu Yu thought again that there are so many peaches, and he might need some bamboo baskets to store them, so he made another suggestion, "Otherwise, let's ask my little aunt to help make some simpler bamboo baskets, and then put straw in the bamboo baskets." , not so afraid of bumps, it’s better than putting them together in a pile.”

It happened that Qiao'e was at Gu Yu's house, and Chen Yongyu told him that Qiao'e had no objection, "I think it would be good to send someone to try it out, but I still have to ask my father, after all, I don't care about this thing." I don't understand."

With these words, Chen Yongyu didn't delay, so he and Jing Zhe brought some snacks and went to invite them.

At noon, everyone went to pick peaches according to the method Chen Yongyu said. There was a pile of straw on the ground, and those fresh peaches were placed, and some baskets were placed beside them, with straw inside, which were ripe peaches.

Chen Yongyu and Jing Zhe came back, not only they came back, but also Zhao's father and son followed.In addition, there are some ready-made bamboo baskets on the car.

When Qin'er saw Zhao Shi, Yi yelled and wanted to rush over, Zhao Shi smiled stupidly, came over to hug Qin'er and was about to go to work.

Seeing this, Xu Qinshi was a little funny, "Ah, why didn't you ask your mother to come over, that would mean that the whole family is here, haha. If you say it, they will say that they are helping your mother's side, but what should I do?"

Uncle Zhao was a little funny, and he didn't shy away from anything, "It's nothing, you sent a few baskets of peaches before Qin'er Niang passed the door, and we have followed them every year for so many years. There is a problem here. We It’s a little bit of help, and it’s not a difficult thing, we can’t do other things, but weaving bamboo baskets is not difficult.”

After talking, I went to work naturally. The bamboo baskets don't need to be too delicate, and there are people in the village to help split the bamboo, so the speed is very fast.

After weaving the bamboo baskets, they were filled with straw, and then someone specially put the peaches into them gently, and then transported them to the other side of the river in baskets, where the carriage was waiting there.

Jing Zhe followed Brother Heizi and Dazhu Dad both went there together, it was easy to get on and off the bus.

The rest of the people in Zhuangzi carefully put away the overripe peaches, just waiting for the men to get them back to other villages for food or money.Some people also guessed what happened on the other side of Jing Zhe.

Gu Yu looked at the baskets of peaches, and saw that there were some overripe ones hanging on the branches that hadn't been picked, so she asked Chen Yongyu not to wait any longer. If the peaches can be sold, the ripe ones are picked first, so as not to rot.

Chen Yongyu smiled and told Gu Yu not to worry, he had already told everyone about it.

But there is a limit to selling peaches in Zhuangzi. You can’t wait for peaches. Most people buy something to eat. They go here too often and think that things are easy to get, so they buy less.Everyone had to go to a more remote village, until those who went out could not sell peaches and no one was willing to exchange them, so no one went out.

The people in the village stared at the ripe peaches in a daze, and then began to ask if God did not bless Taozhuang.

But there was good news from Jing Zhe, saying that the old boss was quite satisfied with the peach and asked to send it away.

The gloom on everyone's faces dissipated, and they went to pick the peaches anxiously. The remaining ripe peaches became a little lazy, and they couldn't be sold anyway. Every family in the village had some, and there was nothing wrong with it. People wanted to eat again, but a piece fell on the ground.

Gu Yu looked at the overripe sweet peaches rotting in the ground, seeing the bright red color seemed bloody and very dazzling, she felt guilty in her heart.

When all hope was pinned on Jingzhe, and everyone was looking forward to the good news they would bring back, they saw that the peach that had been pulled over had been pulled back intact.

According to Jing Zhe, there is no sign at all. Gu Ban pulled the previous peaches and left, and no one could be found. Naturally, the peaches could not be sold. After thinking of many ways, the peaches were finally kept in the town for others to sell. Brother Heizi also stayed there to guard the old board, but his hope was slim.

Jingzhe is only guessing that people in the town said that the old man was worried that the peaches at the end would rot on the road after picking, and some people said that the peaches at the end were enough. No matter what the reason is, it is true that the old man disappeared. , he just left without saying goodbye.

Now the matter is serious, what should I do with the peaches guarding the two carriages, and so many unpicked ones on the tree that are ready to fall?Just watch it disappear like this?Or simply ask people from other villages to pick them?
