Chapter 7 The Strange Lychee Tree
Chapter 7 The strange lychee tree()
There are piles of weeds in the backyard, which have long blocked the previous path. At a glance, there are only a few fruit trees standing beside the tall fence.
The fence was built when his grandfather was there. At that time, wild boars and other wild beasts often came down from the mountains to harm the more than three acres of land that was finally reclaimed behind the house. In addition, there were many snakes, insects, rats, and ants close to the mountain forest, so they simply surrounded the house.
A wall more than three meters high was built around it. Most of the fruit trees beside the wall are wild varieties in the mountains. Although the fruits are small, they are better than
Delicious and juicy, these were planted by Le Lang when he came here. Mainly because he likes them. Whenever he sees a fruit tree he likes, he will dig it back and plant it. There are Guava (Nabala), White Flower Mango, Bird
Pears, after eating these, he felt they tasted good, so he dug one or two saplings under the tree and planted them. However, after planting them, he never took care of them again and left them to fend for themselves.
There was a mulberry tree and a lychee tree among them. This mulberry tree was a branch he cut from someone else's tree when he went to steal mulberries to eat and thought they were delicious. Unexpectedly, it has grown into a big tree now. That tree
The lychee tree was something people didn’t want to cut down in their orchards. After he saw it, he found a few partners and spent a lot of effort to carry it back. Speaking of which, this lychee tree also grew strangely.
Every year, there are only six or seventy-eight lychees, less than nine anyway, but all of them are as big as a fist. People plant fruit trees just to make money. No matter how big the fruit of this tree is, if there are only a few of them.
That kind of lychee just takes up space there. Lelang dug it up and planted it in the backyard. Not to mention, although the lychee grew little, it tasted really good and was big.
"Alang, look at what you're doing with this yard now. Why don't you just find a few chickens and ducks and let them roam free here?" The ferryman, Naruto, was too lazy to move. He thought he might as well go fishing if he had time.
Or if it’s not a good idea to find a place where a cat can take a nap, why not clean it up? It’s a waste of good youth.
"Okay, don't be so verbose here. I can run faster than anyone else when I eat lychees. I'll kill you if I ask you to weed. I guess you'll come here when I'm not around." Lelang said angrily.
Said to Naruto.
"Uh... haha, then, let's get started, otherwise it will be dark." Naruto, the ferryman, was embarrassed by what he said and quickly changed the subject.
So, the two men took hoes and hatchets to chop up the unruly trees and weeds. Fortunately, this land was used for farming. Although it had not been planted for many years, the soil was still loose. The two were young, strong and energetic, and they were able to plant crops in no time.
A big piece.
"Hey, this seems to be a peach tree." Naruto, the ferryman, raised his knife and looked at some weeds and shrubs nearby. He hadn't seen them in a few years. These things had escaped from any garbage corner, including some pine trees and so on.
All have grown out.
After hearing the words of the ferryman, Le Lang came over. The peach tree was as thick as a calf. It should have been picked up by a bird on the mountain.
"Let's keep this one, it doesn't take up much space anyway." Le Lang came over to take a look and said to Naruto. This peach tree happened to be growing not far from the wall.
"This kind of mountain peach has no taste at all. It tastes like wood. If there is nothing left, it is better to chop it down and burn it. I know an old man from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. I will ask him to get you some tender and juicy trees."
Come and plant some peaches.”
"It's better to keep it, it won't be an eyesore anyway." Le Langli ignored him.
"Oh, that's up to you." After saying that, Naruto went back to hoeing the grass. However, he secretly cursed in his heart: What a fool.
A garden of about three acres was obviously not something that two people could manage in one afternoon, and Le Lang left after working for a while because he was going to cook porridge, which was obviously a good excuse.
As a result, only the figure of Naruto, the ferryman, working hard and sweating profusely, and his voice secretly cursing Le Lang were left in the garden. Saburo sat on the stone pier beside him, eating a banana while watching Naruto work.
, just like a little overseer. At three o'clock, he lay aside and ate deliciously in front of Saburo.
The bananas are so eye-catching that I can only drool. This guy will eat anything, including vegetables, fruits, and meat. He is obviously an omnivore. He must have been too hungry before. Now he eats whenever he sees something at three o'clock. Look at his ever-round shape.
You can tell by your belly and growing body.
In the kitchen, Lelang packed the cooked porridge in an earthen pot. The porridge was added with snake meat, pullet meat, and pig foreleg meat. After being simmered for two or three hours over a slow fire, it tasted delicious. When you smell it, you will feel like racing.
The fairy Le Lang couldn't help but secretly took a bite. He was immediately attracted by the delicious taste and ate three bowls in a row. If he didn't want to save his stomach for eating at night, he might have eaten until his stomach burst.
Conveniently, he killed the big grass carp that Naruto brought and made a big pot of pickled fish and a few plates of vegetables. A big pot of pickled fish and a few plates of vegetables were enough for everyone to drink. He also cooked a pot of pickled fish from the back garden.
I unearthed the lychee wine I had brewed previously, which had been buried underground for many years. Once I opened it, the aroma of the wine overflowed with the wind.
"Lychee wine..." Naruto, who was still working hard in the back garden, smelled the aroma of wine, threw down the hoe in his hand, and ran to the front yard, startling Saburo beside him, who couldn't even see three o'clock.
The eye screams.
"Smell it, it's like a match for the gods." Le Lang took a deep breath, and was immediately intoxicated by the strong aroma of the wine, and said with emotion.
"Yes, thick as honey, as crystal clear as white jade, sweet in the mouth, top quality." At some point, Naruto was standing next to Le Lang, holding a wine spoon in his hand. The spoon was covered with wine liquid, as thick as
Honey, with wine still hanging from the corners of her mouth, looking intoxicated.
"This is for the evening drink. I want you to drink it like this. Let's drink from the northwest wind tonight." Le Lang saw that Naruto was still not finished and was about to reach into the wine jar with his long wine spoon, so he quickly stopped him.
, said to him.
"Drink the northwest wind, just drink the northwest wind. I said, Ah Lang, you are too stingy. No wonder you can't get a wife. You are reluctant to part with just a little bit of wine. I spent a day helping you hoe the grass." Naruto said to him.
Zhu Lelang shouted.
Lelang was good at brewing wine. In the past, Naruto often secretly went to his back garden to dig out the wine he brewed and drank it. This wine was brewed by Lelang when he was at home. It had been buried in the ground and nourished by the earth's atmosphere for several years.
, the taste is many times better than before, no wonder Naruto is so anxious.
