Chapter 65
But Uncle Wangcai didn't tell Xia Mu that his villa was going to be left to his brother.Xia Mu has everything now, but Xia Shu is different.Although the child is not in his hometown, every time he comes back, he will bring him things and get money. His old man appreciates this kindness.And for Xia Mu, the villa is more happy for Xia Shu than for him.But all of this will have to wait until he is old, and then he will make a will, which seems to be a popular way now.
Uncle Wangcai thinks this is not bad, at least those people can't make trouble with Xia Shu afterwards.He still has a few nephews who are closer to his blood, and now that he knows that he is rich, he posted them one by one.Hmph, it sounds like the old man really cares about them, and they are still old!
Wouldn't he find his own apprentice if he wanted to provide for the elderly?Xia Mu dare to refuse?
"Uncle Wangcai, master, what are you thinking?"
The smile is so pervasive.
"It's nothing, come here and let me see if your skills have improved recently. If you regress, be careful with your ass."
Uncle Wangcai stood up and patted his buttocks, beckoning for Xia Mu to follow.Xia Mu held his buttocks as he walked, hoping that his craftsmanship could satisfy Uncle Wangcai, otherwise his butt would suffer.
Sitting under the tree, Chen Ju was eating fruit, watching the two masters and apprentices busy in the kitchen.It's almost September now, and the rice in the fields is about to be harvested. Some people planted earlier and have already started harvesting, but those in Jumu Manor have to wait a few more days.
Harvesting in autumn and storing in winter, autumn is the harvest season, and this year Chen Ju has already harvested rice very skillfully.He also helped Grandpa Xia catch fish from the field and sold them, of course to Jumu Restaurant.
This kind of fish without feed is a little worse than wild fish. Many tourists who live nearby have bought some. The small ones can be taken back to make soup, and the large ones can be taken back to braise and steam.
Xia Mu also caught a grass carp weighing almost two catties, which is definitely a big guy in the rice field, and Xia Mu unceremoniously took it back to give his family extra meals.These days, Grandma Xia, Grandpa Xia, and Xia Wei all moved to the manor because they wanted to see the baby.
There are also Fu Yuan and Ning Zhiyuan, their house and restaurant are still being designed, and it is estimated that they will not be able to live in it until next year, so they are temporarily staying in the small courtyard of the Xia family in the manor.
However, the two still paid the board fee to Xia Mu and they knew that Xia Mu and the others would not mind, but they didn't live for one day or two days, and they felt too sorry for not paying the board fee for a long-term stay.So the two not only paid, but also paid tens of thousands.
"This can last for two years."
Xia Mu is sweating profusely, in Xiashang Village, there are not many meals for a year.Everything is their own, except for some meat, basically there is no expense.
"It's okay, if there are too many, I will give Xiao Chen Xia a red envelope."
Ning Zhiyuan waved his hand, expressing that he didn't care about the money.
"Yes, you are Hao, we can't compare with you."
Xia Mu rolled his eyes and took the money.If this is the only way for the two of them to live in the manor with peace of mind, then accept it!
"By the way, Amu, when will I catch pheasants and make soup again? The pheasant soup last time was so delicious. If my stomach is not too small, I can drink two more bowls."
Ning Zhiyuan wiped his mouth, drooling just thinking about it.
"I'm not free recently, why don't you have sex with your man? He should be better at making condoms than a layman like me."
Xia Mu pointed to the rice that was still being harvested. Recently, he was busy with this batch of rice entering the warehouse!Last year, I took off rice and bought them all.It just so happened that the new rice came down, otherwise those tourists would have called.
"Okay, I get it, I'm going to set it up with A Yuan, will you help stew it when we get it back?"
Although Ning Zhiyuan can cook a table of dishes, his skill of killing chickens has not been activated yet.
"Okay."
Xia Mu agreed, and then hurriedly went to the field to get busy. After harvesting the rice, he and Chen Ju went to the field to catch eels.
Within two days, just as Xia Mu put his own rice into the warehouse, Fu Yuan and Ning Zhiyuan really caught several pheasants and came back.
"Tsk tsk, professional ones are different." There are five in total, much better than the three that Xia Mu caught by chance.
"Didn't you say that you can shoot wild rabbits here? Later, I will borrow your grandfather's earthen spear as an envoy. Ah Yuan's marksmanship is very good."
Definitely better than you half-tones.
"Okay, let's talk about it later."
Xia Mu nodded, anyway, there are a lot of wild rabbits in their place, and a lot of crops in the field are eaten every year.The main reason is that life is better now, and there are fewer people hunting hares. As a result, this guy has no natural enemies. Eagles rarely appear here, so there are more and more of them.It wasn't until these two years that some people from Xiashang Village set up traps in the field to catch some hares and sell them.
Of course, the biggest buyer is Jumu Restaurant. The price offered is higher than that of outsiders, and everyone is willing to buy it for Jumu Restaurant.
The pheasants were caught, and the next day, Chen Ju and Chen Ju took the time to kill them and stew them, and then the two of them went back to work.Xia Wei's baby will be born in winter, and Xia Mu plans to catch some small fish and make her a bowl of fish soup every day, as well as milk, which are good for her health. Xia Mu didn't give up on his sister for a day.
"Seeing how easy it is for you to catch this eel."
Fu Yuan and Ning Zhiyuan also came to join in the fun, Xia Mu and the two caught eels in the field after catching a good fish, and they also came down to catch it when they saw something interesting.It's a pity that the technology is not skilled and can't catch it.It was Xia Mu and Chen Ju who came to help, so that the eel weighing nearly half a catty they found did not escape.
"Easy and didn't see you catch it?"
Chen Jue easily picked up a rice field eel and put it into the fish basket on his waist. This requires skill, not brute force.
"..."
Ning Zhiyuan who was beaten was crying on his lover's body. This Chen Ju was indeed his enemy in his previous life, and he always beat him.
The lover was bullied, Fu Yuan looked at Chen Ju with murderous eyes.
As a result, people are not afraid of him at all, do you think you have never seen a dead person?Although he had never killed anyone, the dead people he had seen were his parents, so Fu Yuan's murderous aura was not painful to him.
And he also knew that Fu Yuan wouldn't do anything at all, so he just risked his murderous intent for fun.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Ning Zhiyuan became curious about Chen Ju, and felt that although this person did not have a murderous aura, he had an evil aura, especially when someone bullied Xia Mu, the evil aura on Chen Ju was no weaker than that of Fu Yuan.But Fu Yuan was because of his special occupation before, and what was it for Chen Ju?
"Go back and tell you." Fu Yuan whispered in his partner's ear.
"Oh~~" Knowing that this might be Chen Ju's secret, Ning Zhiyuan didn't ask him in front of him.
For Ning Zhiyuan, going to the fields was not fun at all, he almost fell on his back in it.Fortunately, he was supported by Fu Yuan beside him, but it still scared him into a cold sweat.
Chen Ju almost laughed until his stomach ached: "I told you to be careful, there are still people so stupid."
"A Ju~~"
Xia Mu shouted softly, and Chen Ju immediately became honest.
"Haha, Chen Ju, you have a strict trachea, and you have people to be afraid of."
Now Ning Zhiyuan smiled.
"roll."
Chen Ju sent him a word.
"A Yuan, look at Chen Ju bullying me again."
Ning Zhiyuan complained to his lover, anyway, Chen Ju couldn't beat his own man, so he was full of confidence!
"Hey, let's ignore him."
Fu Yuan comforted, and then Ning Zhiyuan sat down on the field stalk with a satisfied face, watching Mrs. Xia Mu busy in the field.
The field is not fun, two days later Xiamu's orchard is going to produce fruit, and there is a fruit competition, and tourists who want to participate should go to the person in charge of the orchard to sign up. No.1 to No.10 will have rewards, No.1 fifty catties of fruit, No. 240 five catties, until No.10 five catties.
Not to mention anything else, this reward alone is enough to make tourists excited, so there are quite a few people who signed up.
Xia Mu has set aside a special area for everyone to compete, and other places can be picked as they like. After all, it is impossible to pick all the orchards that big by relying on the competition of tourists.And he really didn't start this competition to find free labor, but to gain the popularity of Gao Xia Shangcun, so the rewards are directly rewarded with fruits. After all, this is a fruit picking competition!
There are many varieties in the orchard, and all the early-maturing ones have been picked, and all the late-maturing ones have been picked in the past two days.Compared with early maturing, or late maturing varieties accounted for the majority.So everyone has a lot of work, but Xia Mu told the workers that this month's bonus will be doubled, and there are other subsidies.
Hearing this news, the workers felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and each of them wished to pick all the fruits immediately.
Among all the fruit trees, Xia Mu let the walnut tree stay at the end, and it would not be too late to solve this thing in the end.Even for the good of tourists, walnuts are not included in the competition.
A few of each of the other fruit trees were left for tourists to compete.Then weigh the total weight at the end, the person with the most will get No. 1, and then pick [-] catties from these fruits as a reward.
Of course, it doesn’t matter to those who didn’t rank high, everyone will be rewarded with a catty of fruit, which can be regarded as a consolation prize!
Because Jumu Orchard is going to hold the first fruit-picking contest, many people from Fruit City come to Xiashang Village on Saturdays and Sundays. Fresh fruit picked from the tree?
So this time, the tourists filled their purses and planned to buy more to go back.I can't eat enough at home, so I have to buy it as a gift.You know, these fruits are popular now, and giving gifts will not be regarded as bribery.Although they are not cheap, no matter how expensive they are, they are limited. Compared with giving red envelopes, it is definitely not a bribe.And the recipient will also be very happy, because pollution-free green food is popular now, and Jumu Manor has become the symbol of their fruit city.
Whether it's vegetables or meat, even fruit, milk powder, milk, etc., they all recognize the brand of Jumu Manor.
Those who have children at home also bought enough milk powder while everyone's attention was on the orchard.Usually when there are many people, there is not enough milk powder to grab, and many people who did not buy it finally bought it.There are also young mothers holding their children and crying. Now the news is revealing that milk powder cannot be drunk every day. They are so frightened that mothers and fathers dare not buy it for their children. A few cans of milk powder for the children.
Xia Mu was afraid that someone would intentionally hoard milk powder, so he asked tourists to come over with their household registration books and their children's birth certificates. Each child could only buy two or three cans per month.Too much will not work, and tourists who cannot get the certificate and household registration book will not sell it.
There are people who are looking for profit everywhere in this world, Xia Mu can't eradicate them all, but he hopes that it would be good to eradicate most of them.At least without these people, there will be more babies who can drink safe and safe milk.
Those parents who came back to buy milk powder after watching the excitement were dumbfounded by the empty cabinets, and their sons (daughters) had no milk~~ "They are so funny." Ning Zhiwan lay on the tree and laughed, if it weren't for Fu Yuan supported him by the side, and it is estimated that he fell directly at this moment.
"Be careful."
"I know, I know. A Yuan, you just love to worry too much. Look at Chen Ju, he doesn't worry about Xia Mu at all."
Ning Zhiyuan pointed to Xia Mu who was also sitting on the tree picking fruits, and Chen Ju stood under the tree to pick up the baskets full of fruits, and of course he had to pass the empty baskets up.
"Xia Mu has been able to climb trees since he was a child, and his ability to climb trees is much better than yours."
How can one learn to climb trees only after coming to Xiashang Village? How can one compare with Xia Mu?Besides, Xia Mu is not as dishonest as Xiao Yuan in the tree, so Chen Ju is of course not worried.
"Ah Ju, the basket."
Xia Mu picked another basket of fruit.The piece they picked was left by Xia Mu for his family to eat or to give as a gift. Xia Mu didn't need help from others, he and Chen Ju could finish picking it by himself.It's just that Ning Zhiyuan insisted on following after he heard about it, but he didn't pick a few fruits when he went up to the tree, and just sat on the tree to watch the fun.
"This big basket is full, and I'll take it home first. When you're full, rest on the tree and wait for me to come back before sending it down."
Chen Ju picked up the basket and said to his lover on the tree.
"it is good."
After Chen Ju left, Xia Mu had picked all the trees and sat on the tree to rest.He also picked an apple, rubbed it on his clothes, and gnawed it.These old varieties of apples are not very big, just a little bigger than a child's fist, and they are not very red, just a little red in the green, but they taste very good.Crunchy and sweet, much tastier than the ones you usually buy in the supermarket.
Xia Mu half-closed his eyes and looked into the distance.
Throughout the orchard, people can be seen busy on the trees. Although it is very hard, they all have smiles on their faces.They are not afraid of work, but they are afraid of not having work to do.
If there is work, it means that the job is kept, and if there is no work, they will not be far from being fired.Besides, the boss Xia Mu gave them a lot of bonuses, which can be worth two months of living expenses for rural people.In the countryside, an ordinary family only pays three to four hundred yuan, and six, seven, or eight hundred yuan for two months. This bonus can be said to be not small.
So these jobs are very vigorous. The boss said that if you finish one day earlier, you will be rewarded with an extra 100 yuan per month.For rural people who have always valued money, 100 yuan is no small amount for them.Although it costs one or two hundred red envelopes to get married in the countryside now, people will return the money in the future.
When Chen Ju came back, he not only carried an empty pannier on his back, but also filled two jugs of water with him.One pot was passed to Xia Mu on the tree, and the other pot was given to Fu Yuan and his wife.
"Thank you."
Fu Yuan apologized to him, although Chen Ju always had trouble with Ning Zhiyuan, but this person never fought with Ning Zhiyuan in major matters, instead he could consider the overall situation better than anyone else, of course the premise was that he could not hurt Xia Mu.
"Humph."
Chen Ju turned his head proudly, and went back to pick fruit with his lover.
"It's annoying to see his dead face."
Ning Zhiyuan stared at him, he was not happy to see Chen Ju, not one of them.
"He's also very upset to see you."
Fu Yuan told the truth, Xia Mu was the most popular among the four.This person looks a bit like him, and even had an affair with Xiaoyuan on the Internet, but unexpectedly, the three people who did not match were Chen Ju, Fu Yuan and Ning Zhiyuan, and Xia Mu was the most popular among the three. The flames of war between the three of them would generally not burn on him no matter how they burned.
"You are my man, how can you help him?" Ning Zhiyuan accused.
"I'm just stating the facts. Well, it's time to work after enough rest, otherwise I'm sorry for the pear you ate."
Fu Yuan pointed to the pear pits under the tree and said that his lover had been on the tree for so long, but ended up only eating and not working. Although Xia Mu didn't say anything, it was strangely embarrassing.
"……I see."
Ning Zhiyuan looked shyly at Xia Mu and Chen Ju who were concentrating on picking fruits, and picked them honestly without making trouble. When encountering the top of the tree that was not easy to pick, he used a hook made of a branch to hook off the branches on the top of the tree, and then Then pick the top pears and put them in the basket.
When he finished picking a pear tree, the third tree Xia Mu climbed had already picked half of it.
Rest when you are tired from picking, and let Chen Ju carry the fruit back and put it away.When he came back, Xia Mu had almost rested, so he continued to pick.After spending half a day, Xia Mu and the others picked all the fruits left for them to eat and transported them back to the manor.
After thumping their shoulders, the four of them returned to the manor.Xia's mother and Xia's father are helping to process and pack the fruits. These fruits will be stored for a long time, and they will go bad soon if they are not properly packed and stored.
Looking at these beautiful fruits, several old people in the family laughed so hard that they couldn't see their teeth, and they helped pack and seal the boxes with great energy.Even Mr. Chen was helping out together, chatting with Grandpa Xia while doing it. The two old men could talk too much. According to Xia Mu's estimate, they could say that they would not repeat the topic for a month, anyway, they could talk about everything for a long time.
Xia Mu and Chen Ju went into the kitchen to cook, and when they came out, they saw that Fu Yuan and Ning Zhiyuan had also gone to help. They were not good at picking fruit, and it was difficult for them to pack such a simple thing.
Finally, all the fruits were boxed before the meal, and by the way, people's names were written on the boxes according to the list provided by Xia Mu. These were all to be given to relatives and friends in the capital or the fruit city.
For Xia Mu, giving a gift with something from his own family would neither impolite nor lose face.You must know that the market for fruits and vegetables produced by his Jumu Manor is crazy. Compared with those fruits and vegetables that are not guaranteed, the products produced by Jumu Manor are definitely conscientious ingredients.Although the price is expensive, there is no way to do it. Labor, fertilizer, etc. are free. Do you think you don’t need to buy natural fertilizer?
Xia Mu buys natural fertilizer from the surrounding villages every year, which is not a small expense, because only enough fertilizer can grow the best vegetables and melons, so he is very willing to spend on this aspect, and the natural cost is high .
Every year, the grass on the mountain will not be thrown around. The small ones are thrown into the swamp to accumulate manure, and the big ones are burned into plant ash, which can also be used as fertilizer and sprinkled on the fields.In his eyes, nothing in the mountains is useless waste, even weeds can be used as fertilizer, what else is not usable?
So in the countryside, the mountains are full of treasures, it depends on whether you can use them.
As long as it is used well, a weed can generate income.Xia Mu is like this. After cleaning the weeds, they are not thrown away as waste, but are used as fertilizer for vegetables and fruits. In his opinion, this is really the best thing.There are also some grasses that can be thrown into the reservoir to feed the fish, it is simply one grass with multiple uses!
"Are the fish in the reservoir unaffordable this year?"
A few people were sitting on the boat, Xia Mu kept taking pictures, Ning Zhiyuan stretched out one hand into the water, the reservoir is running water, plus it is well maintained, the water quality inside is very clean.
"It's only been raised for a year, and it's still a little young. Let's talk about it next year!"
Anyway, he doesn't use the fish in the reservoir to make money, and it will be fine to keep the fish for a few more years.There is running water in the reservoir, and there is no need to change the water. As long as the fish in the reservoir are raised all the time, they can grow as big as they can, and maybe a few king fish will emerge in a few years.
"I heard that there are not only fish but also turtles, shrimps and crabs inside?"
Ning Zhiyuan was drooling at the reservoir, Xia Mu is really rich, but the reservoir is so big, there are few species of fish alone.
"Yeah, next year I'll ask someone to bring some up for you to eat. This year it's probably a little too small, so you won't be able to eat much."
Xia Mu put down the camera, and sat on the side of the boat to paddle with his hands.Occasionally, one or two fish can be seen popping up, so I really want to catch them and get swollen?
"Alright, my restaurant will buy aquatic products from you at that time, remember to count me as cheaper."
Ning Zhiyuan was very happy after hearing this, and he didn't care about the fish in the reservoir anymore, because he knew that the fish in the reservoir would enter his stomach next year at the latest.
"We'll talk about it at that time. Maybe the price of aquatic products will increase next year. The price given now is not accurate."
Chen Ju resolutely kept Ning Zhiyuan away, not letting him get close to his lover.
"Also, if you want to rely on finding your man, don't rely on my Xiaomu's side."
Push Ning Zhiyuan onto Fu Yuan, and then pull Xia Mu to his side.
"Okay, don't be childish, we are on a boat, be careful of capsizing."
Xia Mu looked at the two speechlessly, he really didn't know what kind of enmity these two had had in their previous life, they quarreled as soon as they met, it was a headache.
"Okay, for Xiaomu's sake, I don't care about him, but you don't let him lean on you, it's so hard to lean on you for such a big man!"
Painfully, he patted Xia Mu's shoulder that Ning Zhiyuan leaned against just now, as if he was patting away some bad luck, but Ning Zhiyuan was so angry.
"Chen Ju~"
Before Fu Yuan could react and grab him, Ning Zhiyuan rushed towards Chen Ju directly.
"Wow~~~" Because his movements were too big, the boat they were sitting in capsized directly.
"Cough cough~"
Xia Mu lay on the overturned boat, looking at the other three people with a watery face.
"Are you all right?"
"Ning Xiaoyuan~~"
Chen Ju gritted his teeth. Although it is still September and the heat has not completely subsided, the water in the reservoir has begun to cool down.Ning Zhiyuan was called out by Chen Ju, so he didn't quarrel with him out of guilt.
Moreover, several of them fell into the water without even warming up, and the other three were fine, but Xia Mu felt some cramp in his feet.
"How are you?"
Chen Juyou came over to support him.
"I have a cramp in my foot."
Xia Mu leaned on Chen Ju's shoulder, and looked at the rescue station, and sure enough, he saw a boat coming towards them.
"Boss, how are you doing?"
The lifeguards pulled several people onto the boat. As for the capsized boat, they will send someone to deal with it later.
"Xiao Mu's leg is cramping, please ask someone to help."
Chen Ju held Xia Mu in his arms and helped him put his legs flat.
Xia Mu's legs were much better when he reached the shore, but Chen Ju still didn't let him walk. He asked the bodyguards to drive over and carried him into the car. When he returned to the manor, he carried him back to the house. Even his clothes were He helped change it.
"A good camera is ruined."
The tens of thousands of single flip cameras were completely ruined by being soaked in water.
"It's okay, we'll buy better ones later."
The rich and powerful Chen Ju said, throw the wet clothes he and Xia Mu changed into the dirty clothes basket, and wash them later.
"I'm just sorry, it didn't take long to buy it back!"
Money is just a statistic to the two of them now, but it doesn't mean they can spend it indiscriminately, so Xia Mu really feels distressed.
Uncle Wangcai thinks this is not bad, at least those people can't make trouble with Xia Shu afterwards.He still has a few nephews who are closer to his blood, and now that he knows that he is rich, he posted them one by one.Hmph, it sounds like the old man really cares about them, and they are still old!
Wouldn't he find his own apprentice if he wanted to provide for the elderly?Xia Mu dare to refuse?
"Uncle Wangcai, master, what are you thinking?"
The smile is so pervasive.
"It's nothing, come here and let me see if your skills have improved recently. If you regress, be careful with your ass."
Uncle Wangcai stood up and patted his buttocks, beckoning for Xia Mu to follow.Xia Mu held his buttocks as he walked, hoping that his craftsmanship could satisfy Uncle Wangcai, otherwise his butt would suffer.
Sitting under the tree, Chen Ju was eating fruit, watching the two masters and apprentices busy in the kitchen.It's almost September now, and the rice in the fields is about to be harvested.

"This can last for two years."
Xia Mu is sweating profusely, in Xiashang Village, there are not many meals for a year.Everything is their own, except for some meat, basically there is no expense.
"It's okay, if there are too many, I will give Xiao Chen Xia a red envelope."

"Okay."
Xia Mu agreed, and then hurriedly went to the field to get busy. After harvesting the rice, he and Chen Ju went to the field to catch eels.

Xia Mu didn't give up on his sister for a day.
"Seeing how easy it is for you to catch this eel."
Fu Yuan and Ning Zhiyuan also came to join in the fun, Xia Mu and the two caught eels in the field after catching a good fish, and they also came down to catch it when they saw something interesting.It's a pity that the technology is not skilled and can't catch it.It was Xia Mu and Chen Ju who came to help, so that the eel weighing nearly half a catty they found did not escape.

Xia Mu has set aside a special area for everyone to compete, and other places can be picked as they like. After all, it is impossible to pick all the orchards that big by relying on the competition of tourists.And he really didn't start this competition to find free labor, but to gain the popularity of Gao Xia Shangcun, so the rewards are directly rewarded with fruits. After all, this is a fruit picking competition!
There are many varieties in the orchard, and all the early-maturing ones have been picked, and all the late-maturing ones have been picked in the past two days.Compared with early maturing, or late maturing varieties accounted for the majority.So everyone has a lot of work, but Xia Mu told the workers that this month's bonus will be doubled, and there are other subsidies.
Hearing this news, the workers felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and each of them wished to pick all the fruits immediately.
Among all the fruit trees, Xia Mu let the walnut tree stay at the end, and it would not be too late to solve this thing in the end.Even for the good of tourists, walnuts are not included in the competition.
A few of each of the other fruit trees were left for tourists to compete.Then weigh the total weight at the end, the person with the most will get No. 1, and then pick [-] catties from these fruits as a reward.
Of course, it doesn’t matter to those who didn’t rank high, everyone will be rewarded with a catty of fruit, which can be regarded as a consolation prize!
Because Jumu Orchard is going to hold the first fruit-picking contest, many people from Fruit City come to Xiashang Village on Saturdays and Sundays. Fresh fruit picked from the tree?
So this time, the tourists filled their purses and planned to buy more to go back.I can't eat enough at home, so I have to buy it as a gift.You know, these fruits are popular now, and giving gifts will not be regarded as bribery.Although they are not cheap, no matter how expensive they are, they are limited. Compared with giving red envelopes, it is definitely not a bribe.And the recipient will also be very happy, because pollution-free green food is popular now, and Jumu Manor has become the symbol of their fruit city.
Whether it's vegetables or meat, even fruit, milk powder, milk, etc., they all recognize the brand of Jumu Manor.
Those who have children at home also bought enough milk powder while everyone's attention was on the orchard.Usually when there are many people, there is not enough milk powder to grab, and many people who did not buy it finally bought it.There are also young mothers holding their children and crying. Now the news is revealing that milk powder cannot be drunk every day. They are so frightened that mothers and fathers dare not buy it for their children. A few cans of milk powder for the children.
Xia Mu was afraid that someone would intentionally hoard milk powder, so he asked tourists to come over with their household registration books and their children's birth certificates. Each child could only buy two or three cans per month.Too much will not work, and tourists who cannot get the certificate and household registration book will not sell it.
There are people who are looking for profit everywhere in this world, Xia Mu can't eradicate them all, but he hopes that it would be good to eradicate most of them.At least without these people, there will be more babies who can drink safe and safe milk.
Those parents who came back to buy milk powder after watching the excitement were dumbfounded by the empty cabinets, and their sons (daughters) had no milk~~ "They are so funny." Ning Zhiwan lay on the tree and laughed, if it weren't for Fu Yuan supported him by the side, and it is estimated that he fell directly at this moment.
"Be careful."
"I know, I know. A Yuan, you just love to worry too much. Look at Chen Ju, he doesn't worry about Xia Mu at all."
Ning Zhiyuan pointed to Xia Mu who was also sitting on the tree picking fruits, and Chen Ju stood under the tree to pick up the baskets full of fruits, and of course he had to pass the empty baskets up.
"Xia Mu has been able to climb trees since he was a child, and his ability to climb trees is much better than yours."
How can one learn to climb trees only after coming to Xiashang Village? How can one compare with Xia Mu?Besides, Xia Mu is not as dishonest as Xiao Yuan in the tree, so Chen Ju is of course not worried.
"Ah Ju, the basket."
Xia Mu picked another basket of fruit.The piece they picked was left by Xia Mu for his family to eat or to give as a gift. Xia Mu didn't need help from others, he and Chen Ju could finish picking it by himself.It's just that Ning Zhiyuan insisted on following after he heard about it, but he didn't pick a few fruits when he went up to the tree, and just sat on the tree to watch the fun.
"This big basket is full, and I'll take it home first. When you're full, rest on the tree and wait for me to come back before sending it down."
Chen Ju picked up the basket and said to his lover on the tree.
"it is good."
After Chen Ju left, Xia Mu had picked all the trees and sat on the tree to rest.He also picked an apple, rubbed it on his clothes, and gnawed it.These old varieties of apples are not very big, just a little bigger than a child's fist, and they are not very red, just a little red in the green, but they taste very good.Crunchy and sweet, much tastier than the ones you usually buy in the supermarket.
Xia Mu half-closed his eyes and looked into the distance.
Throughout the orchard, people can be seen busy on the trees. Although it is very hard, they all have smiles on their faces.They are not afraid of work, but they are afraid of not having work to do.
If there is work, it means that the job is kept, and if there is no work, they will not be far from being fired.Besides, the boss Xia Mu gave them a lot of bonuses, which can be worth two months of living expenses for rural people.In the countryside, an ordinary family only pays three to four hundred yuan, and six, seven, or eight hundred yuan for two months. This bonus can be said to be not small.
So these jobs are very vigorous. The boss said that if you finish one day earlier, you will be rewarded with an extra 100 yuan per month.For rural people who have always valued money, 100 yuan is no small amount for them.Although it costs one or two hundred red envelopes to get married in the countryside now, people will return the money in the future.
When Chen Ju came back, he not only carried an empty pannier on his back, but also filled two jugs of water with him.One pot was passed to Xia Mu on the tree, and the other pot was given to Fu Yuan and his wife.
"Thank you."
Fu Yuan apologized to him, although Chen Ju always had trouble with Ning Zhiyuan, but this person never fought with Ning Zhiyuan in major matters, instead he could consider the overall situation better than anyone else, of course the premise was that he could not hurt Xia Mu.
"Humph."
Chen Ju turned his head proudly, and went back to pick fruit with his lover.
"It's annoying to see his dead face."
Ning Zhiyuan stared at him, he was not happy to see Chen Ju, not one of them.
"He's also very upset to see you."
Fu Yuan told the truth, Xia Mu was the most popular among the four.This person looks a bit like him, and even had an affair with Xiaoyuan on the Internet, but unexpectedly, the three people who did not match were Chen Ju, Fu Yuan and Ning Zhiyuan, and Xia Mu was the most popular among the three. The flames of war between the three of them would generally not burn on him no matter how they burned.
"You are my man, how can you help him?" Ning Zhiyuan accused.
"I'm just stating the facts. Well, it's time to work after enough rest, otherwise I'm sorry for the pear you ate."
Fu Yuan pointed to the pear pits under the tree and said that his lover had been on the tree for so long, but ended up only eating and not working. Although Xia Mu didn't say anything, it was strangely embarrassing.
"……I see."
Ning Zhiyuan looked shyly at Xia Mu and Chen Ju who were concentrating on picking fruits, and picked them honestly without making trouble. When encountering the top of the tree that was not easy to pick, he used a hook made of a branch to hook off the branches on the top of the tree, and then Then pick the top pears and put them in the basket.
When he finished picking a pear tree, the third tree Xia Mu climbed had already picked half of it.
Rest when you are tired from picking, and let Chen Ju carry the fruit back and put it away.When he came back, Xia Mu had almost rested, so he continued to pick.After spending half a day, Xia Mu and the others picked all the fruits left for them to eat and transported them back to the manor.
After thumping their shoulders, the four of them returned to the manor.Xia's mother and Xia's father are helping to process and pack the fruits. These fruits will be stored for a long time, and they will go bad soon if they are not properly packed and stored.
Looking at these beautiful fruits, several old people in the family laughed so hard that they couldn't see their teeth, and they helped pack and seal the boxes with great energy.Even Mr. Chen was helping out together, chatting with Grandpa Xia while doing it. The two old men could talk too much. According to Xia Mu's estimate, they could say that they would not repeat the topic for a month, anyway, they could talk about everything for a long time.
Xia Mu and Chen Ju went into the kitchen to cook, and when they came out, they saw that Fu Yuan and Ning Zhiyuan had also gone to help. They were not good at picking fruit, and it was difficult for them to pack such a simple thing.
Finally, all the fruits were boxed before the meal, and by the way, people's names were written on the boxes according to the list provided by Xia Mu. These were all to be given to relatives and friends in the capital or the fruit city.
For Xia Mu, giving a gift with something from his own family would neither impolite nor lose face.You must know that the market for fruits and vegetables produced by his Jumu Manor is crazy. Compared with those fruits and vegetables that are not guaranteed, the products produced by Jumu Manor are definitely conscientious ingredients.Although the price is expensive, there is no way to do it. Labor, fertilizer, etc. are free. Do you think you don’t need to buy natural fertilizer?
Xia Mu buys natural fertilizer from the surrounding villages every year, which is not a small expense, because only enough fertilizer can grow the best vegetables and melons, so he is very willing to spend on this aspect, and the natural cost is high .
Every year, the grass on the mountain will not be thrown around. The small ones are thrown into the swamp to accumulate manure, and the big ones are burned into plant ash, which can also be used as fertilizer and sprinkled on the fields.In his eyes, nothing in the mountains is useless waste, even weeds can be used as fertilizer, what else is not usable?
So in the countryside, the mountains are full of treasures, it depends on whether you can use them.
As long as it is used well, a weed can generate income.Xia Mu is like this. After cleaning the weeds, they are not thrown away as waste, but are used as fertilizer for vegetables and fruits. In his opinion, this is really the best thing.There are also some grasses that can be thrown into the reservoir to feed the fish, it is simply one grass with multiple uses!
"Are the fish in the reservoir unaffordable this year?"
A few people were sitting on the boat, Xia Mu kept taking pictures, Ning Zhiyuan stretched out one hand into the water, the reservoir is running water, plus it is well maintained, the water quality inside is very clean.
"It's only been raised for a year, and it's still a little young. Let's talk about it next year!"
Anyway, he doesn't use the fish in the reservoir to make money, and it will be fine to keep the fish for a few more years.There is running water in the reservoir, and there is no need to change the water. As long as the fish in the reservoir are raised all the time, they can grow as big as they can, and maybe a few king fish will emerge in a few years.
"I heard that there are not only fish but also turtles, shrimps and crabs inside?"
Ning Zhiyuan was drooling at the reservoir, Xia Mu is really rich, but the reservoir is so big, there are few species of fish alone.
"Yeah, next year I'll ask someone to bring some up for you to eat. This year it's probably a little too small, so you won't be able to eat much."
Xia Mu put down the camera, and sat on the side of the boat to paddle with his hands.Occasionally, one or two fish can be seen popping up, so I really want to catch them and get swollen?
"Alright, my restaurant will buy aquatic products from you at that time, remember to count me as cheaper."
Ning Zhiyuan was very happy after hearing this, and he didn't care about the fish in the reservoir anymore, because he knew that the fish in the reservoir would enter his stomach next year at the latest.
"We'll talk about it at that time. Maybe the price of aquatic products will increase next year. The price given now is not accurate."
Chen Ju resolutely kept Ning Zhiyuan away, not letting him get close to his lover.
"Also, if you want to rely on finding your man, don't rely on my Xiaomu's side."
Push Ning Zhiyuan onto Fu Yuan, and then pull Xia Mu to his side.
"Okay, don't be childish, we are on a boat, be careful of capsizing."
Xia Mu looked at the two speechlessly, he really didn't know what kind of enmity these two had had in their previous life, they quarreled as soon as they met, it was a headache.
"Okay, for Xiaomu's sake, I don't care about him, but you don't let him lean on you, it's so hard to lean on you for such a big man!"
Painfully, he patted Xia Mu's shoulder that Ning Zhiyuan leaned against just now, as if he was patting away some bad luck, but Ning Zhiyuan was so angry.
"Chen Ju~"
Before Fu Yuan could react and grab him, Ning Zhiyuan rushed towards Chen Ju directly.
"Wow~~~" Because his movements were too big, the boat they were sitting in capsized directly.
"Cough cough~"
Xia Mu lay on the overturned boat, looking at the other three people with a watery face.
"Are you all right?"
"Ning Xiaoyuan~~"
Chen Ju gritted his teeth. Although it is still September and the heat has not completely subsided, the water in the reservoir has begun to cool down.Ning Zhiyuan was called out by Chen Ju, so he didn't quarrel with him out of guilt.
Moreover, several of them fell into the water without even warming up, and the other three were fine, but Xia Mu felt some cramp in his feet.
"How are you?"
Chen Juyou came over to support him.
"I have a cramp in my foot."
Xia Mu leaned on Chen Ju's shoulder, and looked at the rescue station, and sure enough, he saw a boat coming towards them.
"Boss, how are you doing?"
The lifeguards pulled several people onto the boat. As for the capsized boat, they will send someone to deal with it later.
"Xiao Mu's leg is cramping, please ask someone to help."
Chen Ju held Xia Mu in his arms and helped him put his legs flat.
Xia Mu's legs were much better when he reached the shore, but Chen Ju still didn't let him walk. He asked the bodyguards to drive over and carried him into the car. When he returned to the manor, he carried him back to the house. Even his clothes were He helped change it.
"A good camera is ruined."
The tens of thousands of single flip cameras were completely ruined by being soaked in water.
"It's okay, we'll buy better ones later."
The rich and powerful Chen Ju said, throw the wet clothes he and Xia Mu changed into the dirty clothes basket, and wash them later.
"I'm just sorry, it didn't take long to buy it back!"
Money is just a statistic to the two of them now, but it doesn't mean they can spend it indiscriminately, so Xia Mu really feels distressed.
