Plant peaches with uncle

Ten acres of melon fields, looking around, there are endless green melon vines everywhere, and among the melon vines, the basketball-sized watermelon is the most eye-catching.The watermelon is big and plump, almost spherical, with clear and beautiful dark green lines on it.

Qian Shang, who takes care of the watermelon fields, is about 40 years old and of medium height. He was originally an ordinary farmer who farmed at home, harvested grain, and watched the sky for food. He had never gone out to work before. Well done.It's a pity that farmers just look to the sky to eat, and God doesn't reward them with food, so they can only leave the fields and go out to work. Because of their simple and honest personality, they are not good at communicating with others, and they go to big cities with their relatives and friends to work on construction sites. Withholding wages, honest people don't want to do it after several times.

What's more, due to a construction problem of a worker, Qian Shang lost three fingers on his left hand. He was already disabled.Qian Shang, who still wanted to bear it, was disheartened, and returned to his hometown to work in Xiantao Town as a coolie.

Later, when he encountered the recruitment of Taoyuan in Taolin Village, with the idea of ​​giving it a try, Qian Shang came to Taolin Village and became a temporary worker under Su Ruoyan. formal employee.

After the melon fields and vegetable fields opened, Qian Shang separated from Zhang Qiang and became the person in charge of the melon fields, specializing in tending these watermelons.

Today, I inspected the melon field as usual. With rich farming experience, I saw a watermelon that seemed to be ripe at a glance. I squatted down and patted it. When I heard the crisp "dongdong", Qian Shang grinned. The melon field he was in charge of has produced fruit.

Su Ruoyan and Qin Chengyu walked to the side of the melon field, and saw a few people talking together in the middle of the melon field from a long distance away, and next to those people were two puppies rolling around, chasing and fighting.

The two puppies following Su Ruoyan and the others were still vigilant. When they heard the cries of a nest of brothers, they immediately opened their throats and barked towards the melon field, calling for reinforcements.

The little dog who was having fun in the melon field immediately stood up when he heard the barking, his little ears hadn't been fully erected yet, but he seemed to be feeling a little bit better.After barking twice in response, the two puppies started to run, and soon came to Su Ruoyan.

The coat color of these two puppies is reversed from the previous two, the background color is yellow, but one has black ears and the other has a half black tail.

The four puppies joined together and yelled at their owner who was still a stranger. The more they yelled, the happier Su Ruoyan was. They are good seedlings for guarding the house.

But the barking was too loud, and it was not enough to stare at them all the time. It happened that Zhang Qiang caught them one by one and put them into the cage before sending them back to the cage they came in.As soon as the iron cage was closed, several puppies lost their freedom and let out an aggrieved "whooping" sound. Their heads drooped and their ears drooped even more. Su Ruoyan squatted in front of the cage and stretched out his fingers to touch their heads one by one. Touched, "Hey, I'll take you home to cultivate a relationship with you, and then I'll let you out."

"Meow!" The milk cake in Qin Chengyu's arms quit, and let out a sharp cry, what did it see, its owner touched the dog!Do those stinky dogs look as good as it does?Is it cute and sensible?Is it smart and understanding?None at all!

The cries of Nai Gao's protest kept ringing out, Qin Chengyu was useless to coax him, he could only ask Su Ruoyan for help.

Su Ruoyan was about to reach out to touch Nai Gao, to appease Nai Gao who was getting emotional for some reason, but Nai Gao turned around, with her head facing inward and her butt facing Su Ruoyan, ignore it!

"Hey, this guy has lost his temper!" He touched his stocky butt once, it felt really good, and he tried again.

Qin Chengyu smiled and grabbed his troublesome hand, "Stop beating, Nai Gao's eyes are red with grievance."

Sure enough, at some point, Nai Gao lifted her head out of Qin Chengyu's arms, her big eyes were full of tears, and her face was full of grievances.The owner touched the dog, beat it and cried.

Confused by the appearance of the milk cake, Su Ruoyan scratched her head puzzled, "What's wrong with it? It was fine just now!"

"Is it because you touched the dog, boss? It's jealous and unhappy." The onlookers pointed out the problem calmly and objectively.

The authorities were confused by the onlookers, and Qin Chengyu and Su Ruoyan suddenly lost their temper because they thought that the milk cake was uncomfortable, but they didn't expect that animals would be jealous too.

Su Ruoyan suddenly realized, and touched Nai Gao's tail. Nai Gao was not happy, so she flicked her tail and refused to touch it.Su Ruoyan was so angry that she flicked it on the head, "They are going to live at home for a while to cultivate their relationship, what are you going to do, they lose their temper every day."

"Meow." Nai Gao buried her head and ignored people.

After Nai Gao lost her temper, she was cared for by the two masters who patted her head. After she became a little more comfortable, she nestled in Qin Chengyu's arms. When Su Ruoyan wanted to come close to Qin Chengyu, it stretched out its paws to push.Touched another dog, not allowed to approach ==

Su Ruoyan and Qin Chengyu, who didn't understand cat language, just thought it was funny, walked into the melon field, and soon came to the ripe watermelon.

When Qian Shang saw the boss, he smiled honestly, with a little nervousness, wondering what would happen to the taste and harvest of the watermelon he was looking after, and whether he could ask the boss. "I looked around in the melon field, and found only one that was edible."

Su Ruoyan knelt down and patted melons. In terms of the ability to distinguish between raw and cooked melons, basically every Chinese person knows it. If you go abroad, you can see that someone is patting melons in the place where the melons are sold. They are either Chinese people or Chinese descendants. This is an old man. A skill passed down from the ancestors.As for whether you can really tell whether the watermelon is raw or ripe, it depends on the individual's ability.

Su Ruoyan thought that he hadn't mastered this ability, but it didn't prevent him from patting melons to listen to the sound. The clear and firm sound of patting melons made people frowned. Melon vine, hold this watermelon in your hand, it is really heavy, it must be more than four catties.

Of course, the first melon should be shared with everyone who worked hard. I led the people to the shack next to the Taoyuan, and opened the melon on a clean plastic bag. The knife was just inside the melon, and the melon cracked immediately, sweet and sweet. The scent of melon permeates the air.

First, he cut half a melon and shared it with everyone. After eating it, everyone smiled. Qian Shang, who was in charge of the melon field, completely let go of the big stone in his heart, because the watermelon is really delicious.

"It's delicious, full of water, and sweet. Two days ago, my wife bought a watermelon and opened it at home. The flesh of the watermelon was full of yellow tendons. There was a lot of water, but it was not sweet at all. Where can I find our watermelon?" Ah." Zhang Qiang, who was eating the melon, sighed, he was reluctant to let go of the watermelon in his hand after eating all the red flesh, and he always felt that the melon rind also had a sweet taste.

Qian Shang nodded again and again, "The water and soil in Taolin Village are good, but my place has failed two years ago. The land is getting drier and the water is getting less and less. No matter how much chemical fertilizers are applied, the soil fertility can't be improved. Such a good local melon, I used to I still plant it every year, and then I won’t be able to eat such authentic melons after planting.”

When it comes to the fields, Qian Shang, who was originally a reticent man, was also full of emotion. He ate melons and looked at the water and soil, hoping that this place would not be like his own village that was gradually drought and depression.

The scent of melon floated along the breeze to the river a hundred meters away. Among the group of people fishing with umbrellas and hooks, Han Zhengming moved his nose, "Do you smell watermelon?"

The peach blossom fish in Taolin Village has become very popular among fishermen in the old city. No matter they are young or old, they are all proud of being able to catch a peach blossom fish in the circle of friends.Many young people don’t have so much free time, so they can only come to satisfy their cravings during holidays, but how can they catch peach blossom fish known for their light swimming, cunning and changeable in such a short time, and finally they can only look at the circle of friends and sigh .

And the retired fishermen who have a lot of time have a lot of time to spend by the river, but peach blossom fish is so easy to catch. Among the dozens of people who come and go, there are not many people who catch peach blossom fish. To one slap so many people.

Su Ruoyan was really lucky to be able to catch two or one in one net, and sometimes harvest.

Let's not talk about fishing, but just talk about how popular these fishermen have brought to the village after they came to Taolin Village.

After fishermen come to the village, they always have to walk around. When they see good ones, they will recommend them to relatives and friends. The farmhouse in the village came into being. For the time being, there is a place to rest, eat and drink.

With a place to live and food to eat, more people will be attracted. The countryside on the mountain is cooler than the inside of the city, and tourists who come to play can be regarded as summer vacations.

The arrival of these people has also added popularity to the upcoming resort.

If Su Ruoyan knew that these popularity would soon compete with him for watermelons, there would be so many people wanting to drive them away.

Han Zhengming is the biggest supporter of Taolin Village. He rented a house in the village to live in. The good water and soil, good food, and quiet living here have already given him the idea of ​​buying a house.I don't know if it's because he ate too much Xiantao. Han Zhengming felt that his body was stronger and his nose was more sensitive than before, and he could smell delicious food hundreds of meters away.

He asked other people if they smelled the scent of melons, and a group of fishing friends laughed, "Old Han, just tell me if you are greedy for watermelons, where are there watermelons in the wilderness here?"

"It's in the wilderness. Isn't there a melon field next to the Taoyuan over there?"

"Didn't I ask in the morning, the watermelon is not ripe yet."

Among them, Huang Zhao made the most fuss. The two used to be colleagues, and they didn't deal with each other before and after retirement. Usually fishing is a "hostile relationship" of "with him but without me, and with me without him". It's time to catch up with this.There are several people between the two, and they can also breathe fire on each other.

Huang Zhao said sarcastically, "He's just a glutton messing around in his stomach, his nose is almost catching up with a dog's nose."

"Okay, Huang Zhao, you said I was causing trouble, but you are the real troublemaker. Just now I managed to catch a peach blossom fish, and it was because of your voice that I failed."

"Hmph, if I don't have the ability to rely on others, why do you fish like this?"

The person next to him was a peacemaker, "Everyone is here for fishing, so what are you doing seriously? Didn't you just talk about watermelons, maybe someone in the melon field over there really opened watermelons, and Lao Han smelled it."

Huang Zhao raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by that? It's something that favors Old Han."

"Hmph, I don't allow people to talk anymore, I thought you were the leader in the unit." Han Zhengming snorted a few times, put down the fishing rod, patted the grass clippings on his trouser legs and stood up, "I'll go Take a look, there might be watermelons. Their peaches are delicious, and their vegetables are delicious, so watermelons are definitely not bad.”

Han Zhengming stayed in Taolin Village for the longest time. He originally came here for peaches. Later, he bought Taoyuan vegetables and found them to be very delicious. After staying here, he can eat them every now and then. He just fell in love with them. this taste.If you want to talk about the taste, it is pure vegetable taste - tomato is tomato flavor, cucumber is cucumber flavor, unlike the current market, regardless of tomato or cucumber, they all have a watery taste, and there is no fragrance at all.

After eating a few more times, Han Zhengming has completely become a loyal fan of the Taoyuan brand, and has blind confidence in Su's products.

Huang Zhao doesn't like to eat peaches, and he has never eaten Taoyuan dishes. If he has not eaten, he has no right to speak. However, he adheres to the principle that he must hate what the old man likes. When he heard Han Zhengming say that watermelon is good, he habitually scoffed. , "I'm going to check it out, whether it tastes good or not can't be proved by opening and closing your mouth."

For Taoyuan products, Han Zhengming is quite confident, and he is not afraid of Huang Zhao to inspect the products, "It must be delicious, you are reluctant to leave."

……

Su Ruoyan looked at the two old men who were bickering in front of him, and shouted in his heart, "What are you doing here?" He aimed at the quarter of the watermelon he had left on the plastic bag, and originally wanted to take this little bit with him. Go back, watch TV and eat on the sofa with Lao Qinwo.The spoon is inserted into the top, one spoon at a time, blowing the air-conditioning, eating watermelon, not to mention how comfortable it is.

Now, two old men came suddenly and told him that they wanted to buy watermelon from him. One had golden eyes and a suspected saliva at the corner of his mouth, staring at that little watermelon, and he was bound to get it; Disdainful, but his eyes glanced at the watermelon from time to time, his nose fluttered slightly, and he was also catching the melon fragrance in the air.

"Boss Xiao Su, the watermelon is ripe."

"Yeah." Su Ruoyan showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "That's the only one I know, you guys came late and ate them all."

"It's not that there is still a small half."

"That's a quarter..."

"That's enough, you can taste it first." Han Zhengming answered immediately, "I bought it for how much it costs per catty. Such a delicious melon fragrance is rare."

Su Ruoyan wanted to cry, so she glanced at Qin Chengyu eagerly, and forced a smile, "Take it and eat it, the first melon, try something new."

"That's so funny."

"The resort will open on the 11th. Uncle Han, you just need to help promote it."

"That's easy. Many retired old comrades are idle at home and have nothing to do. They can come to the village to play. How good it is to cultivate themselves. I will tell them when I go back and let them come and play."

"Then thank you, Uncle Han." Su Ruoyan's heart was bleeding, but he resolutely handed the watermelon to Han Zhengming, "It's not very cold in the sun, but it's just right for you to eat. It's too cold to hurt your spleen and stomach."

"Yeah, thank you, Boss Xiao Su."

Han Zhengming originally wanted to go back with the watermelon to show them how good his nose is, but on the way, the watermelon exudes an attractive melon fragrance under his nose, and he couldn't help swallowing. Give it to someone, or he can eat it here.

It's not that he, Lao Han, is not righteous, it's just that there are too few watermelons.He took a bite, and was about to bite down, but Huang Zhao yelled, startled, his hands trembled, the watermelon almost fell, and he turned his head and shouted dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing!"

"Then what are you doing yourself!"

Han Zhengming said confidently, "Eat watermelon."

Huang Zhao despises, "Eating alone."

"I asked Boss Xiaosu to come. I'll eat it by myself. What's the matter with you?" What's wrong with eating alone? Everyone can't even eat a small amount of watermelon, so it's better not to take it home to save trouble.

"Seeers have a share."

"..."

The two old men fought for a quarter of the watermelon, and Su Ruoyan was also annoyed by this little watermelon. If he had known that the watermelon was opened, he would have gone back earlier, and if he stayed where he was, he would have attracted people who coveted the watermelon.

"Hey." Holding Nai Gao, stroking Nai Gao's soft fur, losing his hand for a moment, Nai Gao let out an uncomfortable cry, reminding Su Ruoyan to pay attention and stroke the cat well.

Qin Chengyu, who was carrying the dog cage, patted Su Ruoyan's head with his hands, similar to the way he did when he was petting the cat, "Watermelons are only ripe for a few days, and there will be endless watermelons after that."

"You haven't even eaten a few bites." Su Ruoyan complained, Qin Chengyu asked Su Ruoyan to contact the staff, the watermelon was opened, and the staff basically ate it, and the little left was selfish and wanted to be eaten by Qin Chengyu.

It turned out to be for himself, Qin Chengyu felt warm, "Let's go back and grab the watermelon back, so we won't give it back." There was an impulse in his heart, he really wanted to rush back so naively, and take a quarter of it. Grab the watermelon back.

"Ah?!" When Su Ruoyan heard this, it turned out to be okay. He really turned around and wanted to grab the watermelon back. He regretted it, so he agreed to leave it to Lao Qin.

Qin Chengyu put down the dog cage, hugged Su Ruoyan who wanted to put the joke into action, and kissed him on the cheek, "Thank you Xiaoyan, with your heart, I am happier than eating a hundred watermelons. "

Su Ruoyan smiled, eyebrows curved, "But I still hope you can eat watermelon."

"Meow~" the ugly little thing yelled, it was squeezed in the middle and it was about to become a cat cake.

Master "Cat Cake" jumped onto the bamboo bed as soon as he got home, and looked down at the four puppies in the cage with curiosity and hostility in his eyes. Being lured away is really a headache for the cat.

Nai Gao has a serious face, like a big boss evaluating his younger brother.Su Ruoyan came out with a plate, and while Qin Chengyu wasn't paying attention, he sat on the bamboo bed and put spiritual spring water in the plate.

Opening the cage door above the cage, he sent the plate in, "Follow me obediently, there will be meat and spiritual spring water, you know."

"Meow~" Nai Gao raised her paw and stepped on Su Ruoyan's leg, and it wanted it too.

The instinct of animals made them feel the benefits of spiritual spring water, and the milk cake was even more suspected of competing for favor. Su Ruoyan watched the five small animals slurping water, holding his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

I don't know when, the quilt covers and bed sheets that were drying on the balcony were put away, and I don't know when Qin Chengyu went up there.

Su Ruoyan named the dogs one, two, three, and four without creativity. They were the first dogs in Taoyuan, and they were named after big characters, so they were called big one, two big, three big, four four.

Hearing Su Ruoyan call the dog like that, Qin Chengyu was speechless for a while, "If there is a second batch, would it be enough to let them have small names?"

Su Ruoyan rubbed his chin, "It can be considered, or it can be called research one research two research three..."

"It's better to be small, if others hear it, it's not very good." It makes the college students and graduate students who come to the resort feel so embarrassed, and they are peers with dogs.

Shrugging, Su Ruoyan said indifferently, "Okay."

Qin Chengyu was cooking. The weather was hot and he had no appetite. On the first day he returned home, he wanted to eat something simple and light, so he made cold noodles. The noodles were udon noodles bought in the supermarket. Put the cold water aside, mix with the prepared sauce and vegetables.

When Qin Chengyu was cutting cucumbers, Su Ruoyan lay on his back, "Daqin, give me some more land, I want to grow sunflowers."

"Ok?"

"I've checked. Plant in August, and you can enjoy the flowers in October. After the flowers wither, you can eat sunflower seeds, squeeze oil, and crack melon seeds. They are all good."

"Why do you want to grow sunflowers all of a sudden?" Qin Chengyu's throat was a little dry, and he didn't realize his heartbeat accelerated when he asked.

Su Ruoyan didn't answer directly, but drew circles on Qin Chengyu's back, "It's not just about planting sunflowers, look, I've seen the mountains to the west, and the vegetation on the mountains doesn't grow very well, so you can cut them all down." Make terraced fields and grow rice. Isn’t there a ravine over there, which is quite long, where chickens can be raised, and there are chickens and eggs.”

Qin Chengyu turned around, grabbed Su Ruoyan's hand, and asked softly, "Is Xiaoyan for the resort?"

Su Ruoyan pouted, "There are so few attractions in the village, there must be more scenery and more tricks."

"Thank you for Xiaoyan." Qin Chengyu hugged Su Ruoyan.

Su Ruoyan pursed his lips, "It's all for you." He just wanted to plant peaches and make a fortune. At first, his ideal was so simple and simple. After thinking about it, he racked his brains and thought it was really for the development of the resort. better.He knew that the plan of the resort was pushed by Qin Chengyu, and he had to bear a lot of pressure from the whole company.

If the development is good, it means that the big boss of Qin has made a good decision, leading the company and leading everyone to a better future; if the development is not good, it means that the big boss made a wrong decision and his leadership ability is questioned.

It's not easy to be a leader. You can't go far with a single word, and you must be careful in recruiting good ideas. As the boss of Hengyuan Company, you are involved in thousands of households, and you can't tolerate Qin Chengyu being sloppy.

This time, hydrological experts were invited to conduct on-the-spot investigations. Only then did Su Ruoyan realize that the hydrological conditions on Daqing Mountain were so poor that they would shake the development of the resort. It was really unexpected, alas.

"Ouch." Su Ruoyan covered his ears, and stared at Qin Chengyu with rounded eyes, "Dogs always bite people."

"I'm a tiger, I also bite people." This time he bit his nose.

Not to be outdone, Su Ruoyan rushed forward and gnawed on the "big tiger"'s mouth, hugging and gnawing each other, this dinner will be postponed to supper...

The supper was not enough, but it must be a few hours later than the usual meal time. Refreshed, Qin Chengyu made dinner again. The udon noodles that had been soaked in cold water before were quite good, but they had hardened and needed to be reheated.Su Ruoyan, who is also refreshed but grinning while sitting on the sofa, opened a can of cat food for the milk cake, and prepared dinner for the four newcomers. The porridge was mixed with minced meat and egg yolk, and eaten The four little guys were snoring, but there was something added in it. When they first came, there was no limit to the supply of Lingquan water.
